Tich Joote 15
1 Jomoko moa Judea nobiro Antiokia kendo negipuonjo jowete kagiwacho niya, “Ka ok oteru nyangu kaluwore gi chik mane Musa opuonjo to ok unyal yudo warruok.”
And certain men, who came down from Judea, taught the brothers, Unless ye will be circumcised in the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 Wachni nomiyo Paulo gi Barnaba odhawo kodgi matek ka kwerogi kuom puonjgino. Omiyo noyier Paulo gi Barnaba, kaachiel gi joma oyie mamoko, mondo gidhi nyaka Jerusalem gine joote gi jodongo kuom wachno.
Therefore, no small dissension and debate having developed with Paul and Barnabas against them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some other men from them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem about this issue.
3 Kanisa nokowogi, kendo kane oyudo gidhi, ka gikadho e dier Foinike kod Samaria, neginyiso ji kaka joma ok jo-Yahudi bende ne yudo warruok. Wachno nomiyo owete odoko mamor.
Indeed therefore, having been helped for the trip by the congregation, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy to all the brothers.
4 Kane gichopo Jerusalem, kanisa kaachiel gi joote kod jodongo norwakogi, kendo neginyisogi gik moko duto ma Nyasaye nosetimo, kotiyo kodgi.
And after arriving in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders. And they reported as many things as God did with them.
5 To jo-Farisai moko moyie kuom Kristo nochungʼ mowacho niya, “Joma ok jo-Yahudi nyaka ter nyangu kendo nyaka gilu chike Musa.”
But some of the men who believed from the sect of the Pharisees rose up, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 Joote gi jodongo noketo bura mondo giwuo kuom wachno,
And the apostles and the elders were assembled together to see about this matter.
7 kendo bangʼ kane gisewuoyo amingʼa, Petro nochungʼ malo mowachonegi kama: “Owetewa, ungʼeyo kaka kinde mosekalo Nyasaye noyiero e dieru mondo joma ok jo-Yahudi owinj Injili mi giyie kuom Yesu, ka an awuon ema ayalonegi.
And when much debate occurred, Peter having risen up, he said to them, Men, brothers, ye know that from past days among us, God chose the Gentiles to hear through my mouth the word of the good news, and to believe.
8 Nyasaye owuon mongʼeyo chuny ji, nonyiso ni oyie kodgi, ka nomiyogi Roho Maler, mana kaka wan bende nosemiyowa.
And God, who knows the heart, testified to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, just as also to us.
9 Ne ok otimonigi gima opogore gi ma notimonwa, nikech gin bende nopwodho chunygi kuom yie.
And he made not one distinction between both us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
10 Ka en kamano, to koro marangʼo udwaro temo Nyasaye, kuketo jok mapek e ngʼut jopuonjre ma wan kata kwerewa ne ok nyal tingʼo?
Now therefore why do ye challenge God, to place a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Omiyo wayie ni kaka wayudo warruok kuom ngʼwono mar Ruodhwa Yesu, e kaka gin bende iwarogi.”
But through the grace of the Lord Jesus, we believe to be saved, in the same way as those men also.
12 Ji duto nolingʼ ka Paulo gi Barnaba ne hulonegi kuom honni gi ranyisi ma Nyasaye nosetimo e kind joma ok jo-Yahudi, kotiyo kodgi.
And all the multitude kept silent, and they heard Barnabas and Paul describing how many signs and wonders God did among the Gentiles through them.
13 Kane gisetieko wuoyo, Jakobo nochungʼ mowuoyo kowacho niya, “Winjauru, owetena.
And after they were quiet, James answered, saying, Men, brothers, hear me.
14 Simon osenyisowa kaka Nyasaye nokwongo olimo joma ok jo-Yahudi, kokawo joge owuon e diergi.
Simeon described how God first came to help, to take from the Gentiles a people for his name.
15 Weche mane jonabi okoro bende siro wachni mana kaka ondiki niya,
And to this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written,
16 “‘Bangʼ mano anaduogi kendo, mi ager kendo od Daudi mosepodho. Anachak ager kuondene momukore, mi alose obed maber,
After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen. And I will rebuild the things of it that have been demolished, and I will restore it,
17 mondo omi ji duto omany Jehova Nyasaye, kaachiel gi ogendini duto miluongo gi nyinga, Ruoth Nyasaye mane omiyo,’
so that the rest of men might seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called upon them, says the Lord, who does these things.
Known to God from the age are all his works. (aiōn g165)
19 “Kuom mano bucha wacho ni ok owinjore waket chik matek ni joma ok jo-Yahudi makoro olokore oyie kuom Nyasaye.
Therefore I judge not to trouble those from the Gentiles who are turning to God,
20 To owinjore wandiknegi mondo wanyisgi ni kik gicham chiemo motimgo misango ne nyiseche manono, kik giterre, kik gicham ring jamni mode kendo kik gicham remo.
but to write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Nikech chike Musa osebedo kiyalo nyaka nene e mier duto, kendo kisomo e sinagoke Sabato ka Sabato.”
For Moses from generations past, has from city to city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues on every sabbath.
22 Bangʼ mano joote gi jodongo kod kanisa, nongʼado wach mondo giyier jomoko kuomgi gior Antiokia kaachiel gi Paulo kod Barnaba. Ne giyiero Judas ma niluongo ni Barsaba gi Sila, mane gin jotelo e dier owete.
Then it was decided by the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send men chosen from them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
23 Jogi noor gi baruwa mondiki kama: Wan joote gi jodongo, ma wan oweteu kuom Ruoth, Ne un joma ok jo-Yahudi moyie man Antiokia gi Siria kod Kilikia: Wamosou,
after writing by their hand these things: The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those down in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, to the brothers of the Gentiles, greeting.
24 Wasewinjo kaka jomoko noa kuomwa ka wan to ne ok waorogi, mi gichandou ka githago chunyu gi weche mane giwacho.
Since we have heard that certain men who went out from us have troubled you with words, disturbing your souls, saying to be circumcised, and to keep the law, to whom we did not command,
25 Kuom mano, ne wawinjore waduto mondo wayier jomoko waor iru kod osiepewa mwageno, Barnaba gi Paulo,
it was decided by us, having become unanimous, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 ma gin joma osechiwo ngimagi ni Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo.
men who have given over their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Kaluwore gi mano, waoro bende Judas gi Sila mondo onyisu gi dhogi weche mwandikonu e baruwani.
We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, themselves also declaring the same things by speech.
28 En dwaro mar Roho Maler kod marwa bende mondo kik wamiu tingʼ mapek moloyo chike mwamiyou e baruwani.
For it was decided by the Holy Spirit, and by us, to lay upon you not one greater burden than these necessary things:
29 Kik ucham chiemo motimgo misango ne nyiseche manono, kik ucham remo; kik ucham ring jamni mode bende kik uterru. Ka uritoru kuom gigo duto, to unudhi nyime maber. Oritiuru.
to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication, keeping yourselves from which, ye will do well. Be strong.
30 Kuom mano, joote noor modhi nyaka Antiokia. Bangʼ chopo, negichoko kanisa kaachiel mi gimiyogi baruwano.
Indeed therefore after being dismissed, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
31 Ka ji nosomo baruwano negidoko mamor nikech weche mane ni e iye nojiwogi maber.
And after reading it, they rejoiced for the encouragement.
32 Judas gi Sila, mane gin jonabi, nomedo wuoyo gi owete ka gijiwogi kendo gitegogi e yie.
And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brothers by much speech, and strengthened them.
33 Kane gisebet kodgi kuom ndalo moromo, owete nokowogi mondo gidhi gi kwe, kendo gidogi ir joma noorogi. [
And after spending some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brothers to the apostles.
34 Sila to noneno ni ber mondo odongʼ Antiokia.]
[This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.]
35 Kaachiel gi Paulo gi Barnaba kod ji mamoko, ka gipuonjo kendo giyalo wach Ruoth.
But Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching good news, the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Bangʼ ndalo moko Paulo nowachone Barnaba niya, “Wadogi mondo walim jowete e mier matindo duto kuonde mwaseyale wach Ruoth, mondo wane kaka gidhi.”
And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, After returning, surely we could help our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, how they fare.
37 Barnaba ne dwaro mondo Johana miluongo ni Mariko odhi kodgi,
And Barnabas wanted to take along John called Mark.
38 to Paulo ne paro ni ne ok en gima ber mondo gidhi kode, nikech noseweyogi Pamfilia mi ok odhi kodgi nyime e tich.
But Paul thought it not worthy to bring along this man who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and not having gone with them to the work.
39 Wachni nokelo pogruok e kind Paulo gi Barnaba, mine gipogore. Barnaba nokawo Mariko mi gikwangʼ gidhi Saipras,
Therefore a provocation developed, so as for them to separate from each other, and Barnabas to sail for Cyprus, after taking Mark,
40 to Paulo noyiero Sila gidhigo, ka owete oketogi e bwo ngʼwono mar Ruoth Nyasaye.
but Paul, having selected Silas, went forth after being delivered to the grace of God by the brothers.
41 Nowuotho e piny Siria gi Kilikia kojiwo kanisni.
And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the congregations.
