1 Khyang avange cun Judah khaw üngka naw Antioka law u lü, “Mosia thuma mäiha nami vun am nami mawih üng küikyannak am nami yah khai” tia, jumeikie ami jah mthei.
And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except all of you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, all of you cannot be saved.
2 Acune am Pawluh ja Banabah cun aktäa ngcuh u se, Pawluh ja Banabah cun angsä avange am, acuna ngthua phäha, Jerusalema vekiea Ngsäe ja sangcim ngvaiea veia hang cit khaiea ami mkhyäp.
When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
3 Sangcime naw jah tha u se, ani naw khyangmjükcee ami nghlat law bea mawng cun Phonisia ja Samarih avan üng cit hü ni lü ani pyena kyase, jumeikie naküt ani jah jesak.
And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 Jerusalem ani jäng pha üng, sangcime, Ngsäe ja, sangcim ngvaie naw jah na je na u se, Pamhnam naw a jah summangei naküt ani jah mtheh.
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 Acunsepi, Pharisee üngka, jumeiki avange tho law u lü, “Khyangmjükcee naw ami vun ami mawi vaia kyaki, Mosia thum pi ami läk vaia jah mtheh vai” ami ti.
But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 Ngsäe ja sangcim ngvaie cun, acuna ngthu ngai khaiea ngcunkie.
And the apostles and elders came together in order to consider of this matter. (logos)
7 Ami ngcuh käna Pita naw ngdüi law lü, “Benae aw, khyangmjükcee naw, keia üngkhyüha thangkdaw ngja u lü, jumei khaiea ajana Pamhnam naw nangmi üngkhyüh ana mcawn tia nami ksingki.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, all of you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word (logos) of the gospel, and believe.
8 Acunüng, mlung ksingkia Pamhnam naw mimi a jah peta mäiha, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim cun khyangmjükceea veia pi jah peki.
And God, which knows the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) even as he did unto us;
9 Mimi ja amimi, mi hngalangnak am ve, jumeikiea kyase ami mkhyekatnak jah mhlätki.
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Acunakyase, mimi ja mi pupae naw pi am ami kpüieia phüi cun ivaia jumeikie am jah phüi hlüsak u lü, Pamhnam nami mhnüteiki ni?
Now therefore why tempt all of you God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Mimi cun pi amimia mäiha mi jum u lü, Bawi Jesuha bäkhäknak am küikyannak mi yahki” tia a pyen.
But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12 Khyange cun Banabah ja Pawluh naw, Pamhnam naw jah summangei se, khyangmjükceea veia müncamnak ja cäicatnake ani bilawha mawng, ani jah mtheh üng käh khikhe u lü, ngaikie.
Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 Cunüng ani pyen law päng ja Jakuk naw pi pyen hnga lü, “Benae aw, ka pyen na ngai ua,
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Pamhnam naw akcüka khyangmjükcee üngka, avange a phäha jah xü lü amimi jah bükteng khaia a lawa mawng cun, Sihmon naw ana pyen pänga kyaki.
Simeon has declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 Acuna ngthu cun sahmaea ngthu am tängki.
And to this agree the words (logos) of the prophets; as it is written,
16 Cangcim üng: ‘Acun käna nghlat be lü, Davita khaw ka pyang be khai, apyehnak naküt pi ka mdüi be khai;
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 Khyang akcee ja khyangmjükcee, ka ngming am ka jah khüe naküt pi ka veia law khaie.
That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, says the Lord, who does all these things.
Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 Acunakyase, khyangmjükcee üng, Pamhnama veia nghlat lawki he cun käh jah khuimkha u lü,
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 juktuh üng pet, käh ngcimki eiawk, hüipawmnak, khisa käh sawi u lü hnim ja thi käh ami ei vaia, ami veia ca jah kbi üng daw khai tia ngai veng.
But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 Mosia thum cun sinakoka sabbath naküt üng khe khawia kya lü, mlüh naküt üng acuna ngthu cun sang päng kyaki” a ti.
For Moses of old time has in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
22 Ngsäe, angvaie ja sangcime naküt naw, mimi üngka khyang xü u lü, Pawluh ja Banabaha veia Antioka tüih üng daw khai ami ti; ami jah xüe cun ami jah leisawnga kyaki. Ami ngming cun, Judah ami ti Barsaba ja, Tilah a kyaki. Acun xawi cun jumeikie üng angvai xawia kyaki.
Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 Hikba ani xawi üng ca ami ja kbi cun, “Ngsäe ja benae üng sangcim ngvaie naw, Antiok, Siria khaw ja, Kilikih khawa vekiea khyangmjükcee, ning jah hnukset ve u.
And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.
24 Khyang avange naw, keimi naw am kami jah mtheha, keimi üngka naw law u lü, ‘Nangmi, nami vun nami mawi vai, thum nami läk vai’ tia, nami mlung ning jah bawngbaisakie tia ngja u lü,
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, (logos) subverting your souls, saying, All of you must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 mi Bawi Jesuha ngminga phäha Banabah ja Pawluh cun naw xünnak am mcehnaki xawi,
It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 kami ja mhlänaka Banabah ja Pawluh, Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa phäh ami sak käh mceh naki xawi, atänga ja xü u lü, nami veia kami jah tüih law vaia kami jah tak,
Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 ahina mawngma ning jah mtheh law khai xawia, Judah ja Tilah cun nami veia kami ja tüih law.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. (logos)
28 Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ja keimi naw atänga, yühkia phüi cun nami khana mtai üng am daw khaia ngai ve üng,
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 juktuh peta eiawk, khisaa thi, kbüh lü hnima sa käh jah ei u lü hüipawmnak jah cehta ua; ahina ngkhaw nami jah cehtak üng ta nami phäha daw khai ni. Mya u lü ve u” tia ami yuk.
That all of you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if all of you keep yourselves, all of you shall do well. Fare all of you well.
30 Acukba ami jah tüih cun cit ni lü, Antiok phaki xawi; acunüng, khyange jah khü ni lü, ca cun ani jah pet.
So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 Ami khe law päng ja, ami ja mcäinaka ngthua phäha aktäa jekie.
Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Judah ja Tilah cun sahmaa pi kyaki xawia kya lü, ngthu khawha am, benae jah mcäi ni lü, khawvei ktha ani jah pet.
And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, (logos) and confirmed them.
33 Acua khawvei ani ve käna, jah tüih lawki hea veia nghlat be khai xawia, benae naw dim’yenak am ami jah tüih be.
And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
34 Acunsepi, Tilah cun amät ve hütki.
Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Pawluh ja Banabah cun Antiok khyang khawhah am ve yüm lü, Bawipa ngthu jah mtheimthang ni lü atänga veki xawi.
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word (logos) of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Khawveica angsawk law käna, Pawluh naw Banabaha veia, “Tuhkbäih ni cit be lü, Bawipa ngthu ni sangnaka khaw naküta bena vekie veia cit hü lü ami vecawh ni jah bükteng hü vai” a ti.
And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word (logos) of the LORD, and see how they do.
37 Banabah naw, Johan Makuh ami ti cun ani veia cehpüi vaia a täng,
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38 Pampulih khaw üngka naw ja hawih hüt lü, khüibi bi khaia ani hlawnga am cit hngakia kyase, Pawluh naw ta Makuh ani hlawng cehpüi vaia am jum.
But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 Acunakyase, aktäa ngcuhki xawi, ngtai law ni lü, Banabah naw Makuh cun a hlawnga cehpüi lü, Kuparuha mlawng am citki xawi.
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
40 Pawluh naw Tilah a xü; acunüng, jumeikie naw Bawipa bäkhäknak ami mcei vai ja ngthu ami jah pet.
And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
41 Sangcime jah khäng hüsak lü Siria ja Kilikih khaw avan üng cit hüki.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
