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 certain persons who had come down from Judaea tried to convince the brethren, saying, "Unless you are circumcised in accordance with the Mosaic 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.
Between these new comers and Paul and Barnabas there was no little disagreement and controversy, until at last it was decided that Paul and Barnabas and some other brethren should go up to consult the Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem on this matter.
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 they set out, being accompanied for a short distance by some other members of the Church; and as they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told the whole story of the conversion of the Gentiles and inspired all the brethren with great joy.
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 cordially received by the Church, the Apostles, and the Elders; and they reported in detail all that God, working with them, had done.
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 in the assembly, and said, "Yes, Gentile believers ought to be circumcised and be ordered to keep the Law of Moses."
6 Chuin solchah ho le upa ho chu hiche thua boina ho seilham ding in akikhomun ahi.
Then 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 to his feet. "It is within your own knowledge," he said, "that God originally made choice among you that from my lips the Gentiles were to hear the Message of the Good News, 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 all hearts, gave His testimony in their favour by bestowing the Holy Spirit on them just as He did on 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 difference between us and them, in that He cleansed their hearts by their 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, therefore, why try an experiment upon 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 that we, as well as 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 while they listened to the statement made by Paul and Barnabas as to all the signs and marvels that God had done among the Gentiles through their instrumentality.
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, "Brethren, listen to me.
14 Chidang namdang te lah a kona Pathen in ama dinga mi akilah tillai thu chu Peter in aseiya kon in ija tauve,
Symeon has related how God first looked graciously on the Gentiles to take 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.
"'"Afterwards I will return, and will rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will set it up again;
17 Chutengle mijouse, chidang namdang te jaona a keima dinga kakou jousen Pakai ahin hol ding ahi tin,
In order that the rest of mankind may earnestly seek the Lord--even all the nations which are called by My name,"
Says the Lord, who has been making these things known from ages long past.' (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 judgement, therefore, is against inflicting unexpected annoyance on those of the Gentiles who are turning to God.
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.
Yet let us send them written instructions to abstain from things polluted by connexion with idolatry, 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, being read, as he is, Sabbath after Sabbath, in the various 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.
Thereupon it was decided by the Apostles and Elders, with the approval of the whole Church, to choose suitable persons from among themselves and send them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas. Judas, called Bar-sabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren, were selected,
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!
and they took with them the following letter: "The Apostles and the elder brethren send greeting to the Gentile brethren throughout Antioch, 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 been informed that certain persons who have gone out from among us have disturbed you by their teaching and have unsettled your minds, without having received any such instructions 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 send them to you in company with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul,
26 Amani hi Pakai Yeshua Christa mina ahinna chan ngam ahi lhonin ahi.
who have endangered their very lives for the sake 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.”
We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who are themselves bringing you the same message 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 Spirit and to us to lay upon you no burden heavier than these necessary requirements--
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.”
You must abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from fornication. Keep yourselves clear of 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.
They, therefore, having been solemnly sent, came down to Antioch, where they called together the whole assembly and delivered the letter.
31 Chuin hiche tilkhouna lekha thot chu asimun ahile houbung ho chunga kipana adimset tan ahi.
The people read it, and were delighted with the comfort it brought them.
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, being themselves also Prophets, gave them a long and encouraging talk, and strengthened them in the faith.
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 they received an affectionate farewell from the brethren to return to those who had sent them.
34 Ahin Silas in chukoma umden ding ageljotai.
35 Paul le Barnabas vang chu Antioch a aum den lhonin, hilaiya chun midang ho toh Pathen thu ahil'un alhang samun ahi.
But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and, in company with many others, telling the Good News of the Lord's Message.
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.
After a while Paul said to Barnabas, "Suppose we now revisit the brethren in the various towns in which we have made known the Lord's Message--to see whether they are prospering!"
37 Barnabas jong anomin chule John Mark jong puiding anomin ahi.
Barnabas, however, was bent on taking with them John, whose other name was 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.
while Paul deemed it undesirable to have as their companion one who had deserted them in 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 serious disagreement between them, which resulted in their parting from one another, Barnabas taking Mark and setting sail for Cyprus.
40 Paul chun Silas akilhen in, chule tahsan chaten Pakai ngailutna kivoppi dingin asoldoh tauvin ahi.
But Paul chose Silas as his travelling companion; and set out, after being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord;
41 Chuin Syria le Cilicia gamsungah avah len houbung ho atilkhou le tan ahi.
and he passed through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the Churches.
