Acts 15
1 Chuin Paul le Barnabas Syria gam'a Antioch muna aum jing lai lhon in, Judea gam'a kon in mi phabep ahung un “Mose dan dung juiya chep natan lou uleh huhhing'a naum thei lou dingu ahi,” tin seijui ho chu thu ahung hil'un ahi.
But some men came down from Judea and attempted to teach the brethren, saying, "Unless you are circumcised according to Moses’ custom, you cannot be saved."
2 Chuin Paul le Barnabas chun amaho thuhil chu dih asah lhon lou jeh chun nasatah in akinel tauvin ahi. Ahin achaina chan na akihoulhah thei tah loujeh un Houbung chun Paul le Barnabas chu amun houbung mi themkhat toh Jerusalema hiche thudoh chung changa solchah ho le upa ho toh kihou khom ding in ahin sol tauvin ahi.
Now when dispute and controversy sprang up between them and Paul and Barnabas, the brethren appointed Paul and Barnabas, and certain others, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.
3 Chuin Houbung in Jerusalem a dinga ahin sol houchu Phoenicia le Samaria gamsunga akinga pauvin, seijui ho ahin ho pauvin chidang namdang ho lunghei thu chu aseiyun ahile ama ho hapan akipah un ahi.
So the church saw them off on their journey, and they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria. Here they set forth the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers.
4 Chuin Jerusalem alhun un Barnabas le Paul chu solchah ho le upa ho jaonan houbung mipi chun ana lemun, chuin amanin Pathen natoh ho abonchan asei lhon tan ahi.
Upon their arrival in Jerusalem they were received by the church and the apostles and elders, and they told them all things that God had done with them.
5 Ahin Pharisee ho lah a kona seijui ho themkhat ading doh un “Chidang namdang atahsan hon Mose dan dung juiya chep atanu ngai ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
But certain men who had belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, but were now believers, stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise Gentile, and to order them to keep the Law of Moses."
6 Chuin solchah ho le upa ho chu hiche thua boina ho seilham ding in akikhomun ahi.
The apostles and elders met to consider the matter;
7 Akikhop khom nauva chun, phat sottah akihoulim jouvun Peter ading doh in hitin aseiyin ahi, “Sopite ho, phat masa a kona Pathen in nang ho lah a kona keima hi chidang namdang ten kipana thupha ajah thei nadingu le atahsan na dinguva eilhen ahi chu nahe sohkeiyuve,
and after there had been a long discussion, Peter rose and said. "Brothers, you know how a good while ago God made choice among you, that from my lips the Gentiles were to hear the message of the gospel and believe.
8 Pathen in mihem lungthim ahen, eiho eipeh bang uva chidang namdang te jong Lhagao Theng apeh hin Pathen san ahi nau ahettoh sah ahi.
"And God, who knows the hearts of all, gave this testimony in their behalf, by bestowing upon them the Holy Spirit just as he did upon us;
9 Eiho le amaho kikah a kikhenna asem pon ahi. Ajeh chu aman tahsan na-a alungthimu asuh theng ahitai.
"and he made no distinction between us and them, in cleansing their hearts by faith.
10 Chuti ahi jeh chun, ipi dinga chidang namdang seijui ho chu eiho le ipu ipa teuvin jong anapoh joulou pohgih chu ipohsah uva Pathen ichou dingu ham?
"Now then, why are you tempting God by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Eiho ibonchauva ichan diuva lomlou Pakai Yeshua mingailut vanga huhhing'a um ihiu chu iheuve,” ati.
"On the contrary we believe that it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that we and they shall be saved."
12 Chuin Barnabas le Paul in amani jal'a Pathen in chidang namdang te lah a melchih naleh thil kidang abol thu asei lhon chu mipi chun thipbeh in angaiyun,
Then the whole assembly remained silent, and listened to Barnabas and Saul as they told the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
13 Asei jou lhon in, Jacob ading doh in hiti hin aseiyin ahi, “Sopite ho, kathusei hi ngaitemuvin,
When they had finished speaking, James said.
14 Chidang namdang te lah a kona Pathen in ama dinga mi akilah tillai thu chu Peter in aseiya kon in ija tauve,
"Brothers, listen to me. Symeon has told how God first looked graciously upon the Gentiles, to take out from among them a people to be called by his name.
15 Chule hiche chidang namdang te lunghei thudol hi themgao hon ana phondoh masah sau ahitai, ajeh chu hiti hin akisun in ahi.”
"And this is in harmony with the language of the prophets, which says.
16 “Chujou tengle kakile kit a, David in lhusa kasem phat a, asesa kasah phat kit'a chule kasem phat kit ding ahi.
"After these things I will return, And I will rebuild David’s fallen tent; And I will build again its ruins, And I will set it up;
17 Chutengle mijouse, chidang namdang te jaona a keima dinga kakou jousen Pakai ahin hol ding ahi tin,
"So that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, Even all the Gentiles, who are called by my name,
"Says the Lord, who has been making this known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 Chuti ahijeh chun keima thutan chu hiche hi ahi, chidang namdang te Pathen lama lungheina neiho dinga pohgih igot peh lou dingu ahi.
"My judgment therefore, is against troubling those who turn to God from among the Gentiles;
20 Chusang chun, milim doi anga kikatdoh sa anneh, jon thanhoina, hetphah lou saneh, le thisan neh a konin kikang seuvin, tin jih thou hite.
"but that we should write to them to abstain from the pollution of idols and from fornication, from meat killed by strangling, and from blood.
21 Ajeh chu hiche Mose danthu ho hi khopi jouse le cholngah nikho seh a khang tamtah dinga Judah te kikhopna in'a kisei jing ahi.” ati.
"For Moses from the earliest times has had his preachers in every town where he is read aloud, Sabbath after Sabbath, in the synagogues."
22 Chuin solchahho le upa hon Jerusalem houbunga konin mi phabep alheng doh un, amaho chu Paul le Barnabas toh Syria gam'a Antioch houbunga akihoulhah nau thu hettoh sah dingin asoluvin ahi. Akilheng doh teni chu houbung lamkai Judas (Barsabbas tiajong kihe) le Silas ahi.
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, together with the whole church, to select some of their number, and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The men chosen were Judas called Bar- Sabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
23 Chuin hiche lekha thot hitia kisun hi apohsah un ahi: “Hiche lekha thot hi solchahho le upa ho chule Jerusalema um sopihoa kon ahi. Hiche hi Syria gam'a Antioch le Cilicia a um chidang namdang te henga dinga kisun ahi.” Chibai!
They took with them the following letter. "The apostles and older brothers send greeting to the Gentile Brotherhood throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia;
24 “Hichea kona mi phabep in athuhil uva nahung suhboi uva, nahung suh lunghangu chu kaheuve, ahin amaho chu keihon kahin sol u ahipoi!
"as we have heard that some of your number who went out from us have troubled you with words and upset your souls, without having received any such instruction from us;
25 Hijeh chun kilungkhat tah a kakinopto nau toh lhonin keiho khel in ingailut tah-u Barnabas le Paul hi nangho henga kahin sol uvin ahi.
"we have unanimously decided to select certain men, and to send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul;
26 Amani hi Pakai Yeshua Christa mina ahinna chan ngam ahi lhonin ahi.
"men who have risked their very lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Chule nahin thudoh chung changuva kakihou lhah nau hettoh sah dinga Judas le Silas hi kahin sol u ahi.”
"So we have sent Judas and Silas to tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28 “Ajeh chu nangho chunga hicheng thil themkhat tailou pohgih poh sahlou ding hi Lhagao Theng leh keiho dinga phajo ahi;
"For it has seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 Hicheng thil themkhat ho chu: milim doi anga kikatdoh sa anneh, jon thanhoina, het phahlou saneh, le thisan neh a konin kikang seuvin, hiche hi najuiuva ahileh alhingsel ahitai.”
"that you abstain from food that has been sacrificed to idols, and from tasting blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication. Keep yourselves clear from these things and it will be well with you. Farewell."
30 Chuin thupoho chu Antioch alhunun seijui ho abonun akou khomun hiche lekha thot chu ape tauvin ahi.
So they, when they had been despatched, went down to Antioch, and after gathering the whole multitude together, they handed them the letter,
31 Chuin hiche tilkhouna lekha thot chu asimun ahile houbung ho chunga kipana adimset tan ahi.
and when they had read it they rejoiced at the comfort it brought.
32 Chuin Judas le Silas chu ani lhonna themgao ahi toh lhonin seijui ho tilkhouna le atahsanu suhhat na thutampi asei lhon in ahi.
And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many a good counsel.
33 Chuin phat chomkhat aum jou lhonin seijui hon amani chu lungmong sel'in Jerusalem houbunga ale sol kit tauvin ahi.
After spending some time there the brothers let them go with a greeting of peace to those who had sent them.
34 Ahin Silas in chukoma umden ding ageljotai.
Silas, however, stayed with them.
35 Paul le Barnabas vang chu Antioch a aum den lhonin, hilaiya chun midang ho toh Pathen thu ahil'un alhang samun ahi.
Paul and Barnabas also stayed in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, in company with others.
36 Phat chomkhat jouvin Paul in Barnabas jah-a aseiyin, “Kile kit hitin Pathen thu ilhangsapna khopi jouse chu gavil kit hitin seijui ho iti um hinauvem gave hite,” atin ahi.
And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let is go back and visit the brothers in every city in which we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they fare."
37 Barnabas jong anomin chule John Mark jong puiding anomin ahi.
Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John, who was called Mark.
38 Ahin John Mark in Pamphylia muna ana haisan lhona, natoh na a anajao jom tah lou jeh chun ama puikit ding chu Paul akikam khonteh in ahi.
But Paul thought it unwise to take with them one who had deserted them to the Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to the work.
39 Chuphat chun akikhenlo lhonin, Barnabas in John Mark akipuiyin Cyprus lama ding in konga akitol tan ahi.
So there arose a sharp irritation, so that they parted company; Barnabas taking Mark with him, sailed away to Cyprus;
40 Paul chun Silas akilhen in, chule tahsan chaten Pakai ngailutna kivoppi dingin asoldoh tauvin ahi.
while Paul chose Silas, and set forth commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 Chuin Syria le Cilicia gamsungah avah len houbung ho atilkhou le tan ahi.
He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
