Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
Mararah mina loong ah Judia nawa Entiok ni wang rum haano hanpiite loong asuh phang nyootsoot rumta, “Moses Hootthe jun ih khoopkhan banlam lahoon kanbah sen ih khopiiroidong ah tachoh kan.”
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Erah jengkhaap ah thoidi Pool nyia Barnabaas ah neng damdi rapne ih daanmui nyuuta, erah raangtaan Entiok nawa wasiitnyi Pool nyia Barnabaas damdoh Jerusalem nah wakkah ano kamwah nyia mihak phokhoh loong asuh erah tiit ah chengkaat theng ngeh ih roongwaan rumta.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Erah thoidi neng loong ah chaaste ih wangthuk rumta; eno Phoenesia nyia Samaria lam ih kah rum adi, Ranglajatte loong ah Rangte mendi mamah lek rumta tiit ah banbaat rumta; erah chaat rum ano hanpiite loong ah rapne ih roon rumta.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Jerusalem ni thokrum kano, kamwah loong, chaas nawa te nyia mihak phokhoh loong ih rapniine ih bantho rumta, neng suh Rangte ih mamah ih maak rumta erah tiit ah baat ih rumta.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Enoothong mararah hanpiite Pharisis nawa angta loong ah toonchap rum ano jeng rumta, “Ranglajatte loong ah ih khoopkhan banlam ah hoon jaatjaat etheng eno Moses Hootthe kap ah baat etheng.”
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Kamwah nyia mihak phokhoh loong ah erah tiit ah phanwaan suh lomtong rumta.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Rekam daanmui rum ah lilih Pitar ah toonchap ano jengta, “Phoh ano loong, sen ih jat ehan, ngah jaakhoh di Rangte ih Ranglajatte suh Ruurang Ese tiit baat suh danje tahang, timnge liidi neng ih erah japchaat ano toom hanpi rum ah ngeh ah.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Eno mirep thung atak jatte Rangte ih, seng suh kohali ah likhiik Esa Chiiala ah koh rum ano heh ih Ranglajatte loong ah uh kap etheng ngeh ih noisok ha.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Rangte ih seng loong asuh phoosiit siit li hali; neng loong ah ih hanpi ih kano neng rangdah uh biin anaan eha.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Emah ang abah, sengte sengwah ih lajen huika nyia seng ih lajen huike huijih ah neng tam ni toonhui thuk eno, Rangte ah tiim esuh thaak phate hi?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Emah tah angka! Teesu Jisu minchan ih seng puipang ih tahe ah likhiik neng uh hanpi ih rum kano puipang ih rumha.”
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Pool nyia Barnabaas ah Rangte ih Ranglajatte damdi mih paatjaajih mamah ih re thuk nyuuta, erah baatnyu kano mih loong ah tikpakpak ih tong rumta.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Pool nyia Barnabaas ah thoonjeng nyu kano, Jeems we jengta: “Nga phono loong chaat thaak he!
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Jaakhoh di Rangte ih Ranglajatte dung dowa heh mih raangtaan ih poon ano neng mamah ih riikoi sokboita erah ah Simoon ih baat ih tahan.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Khowah loong ih baatta jengkhaap ah pun ela, Rangteele ni liiha,
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
‘Teesu jengta, arah lidoh Ngah ngaak hangno, Dewid hasong ah ngaak seesiit ih raahang. Thet eta ah rongtangtang ih we seesiit angno ese we angthuk ang.
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
Eno loongtang mina nga taangnah thok ha, Ranglajatte loongtang nga noksong raangtaan ih poonhang loong ra ah.
19 Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
“Nga thung ni bah amah,” ngeh ih li ano Jeems ah jangjeng kata, “Marah Rangte reeni thok hala Ranglajatte loong ah seng ih laphaang phaktheng.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Erah nang ebah, khojoop phaksat nyia esot loong ah laphaksat theng ngeh ih le thong raangmaat ih; adoleh mih damdoh roomjup roomtong lah ang theng, khoisat luiamaan nyia hesipan laphak theng ngeh ah.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Tiimnge liidi, Moses Hootthe ah Jehudi rangsoomnok ni naangtongsa rookwet jaakhoh dowa ih weh koha, enooleh noongrep ni samnuh ko ih tumbaat rumha.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Eno kaamwah loong nyia chaas phokhoh loongtang roongwaan rum ano, neng dung dowa mina danje rumta eno Pool nyia Barnabaas damdi Entiok ni wakkaat thuk rumta. Hanpiite loong ih rapne ih choomjoh arah mina wanyi danje rumta, Judas Barsabbas ngeh ih men rumta nyia Silas ah;
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
eno neng ih arah le ah raangmaat rumta: “Senphoh senno seng loong ah, kaamwah nyia mihak phokhoh loong ah ih, Entiok, Sairia nyia Silisika dowa Ranglajatte phoh ano loong suh jengkhaapse ra hi.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
Sengdung nawa ra taha loong ah ih sen loong ah neng jengkhaap nawa ih phaangphak ra halan ngeh ih chaat ehi; neng suh, seng ih, renbaat muh.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Eno khoontong eno kongphaak kotte sen reenah kaat thuk suh kheemui li. Seng moongnook joonte Barnabaas nyia Pool damdoh wakra rumha,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
neng loong ah ih Teesu Jisu Kristo raangtaan ih ba seng roidong ah mamah ang abah uh toomang ah ngeh ih jaan jen chaang rumha.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Erah raangtaan ih Judas nyia Silas kaat thuk hali, seng ih tiimjih raang hi nengnyi tui ih uh erah ah baat ehan.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Arah banlam tiit khotok doh sen laphaangphak theng ngeh ih Esa Chiiala nyia seng loong ah ih tiit thiin hi:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
Khojoop phaksat laphaksat theng; hesih laphak theng; khoisat luiamaan laphak theng; eno mih damdoh roomjup roomtong laje theng. Ethih ekhah lare kanbah senmoot senkaat jirep ah ese ang ah. Eno sen suh jengseera hi.”
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Kongphaak kotte ah Entiok ni wang thuk rumta, eno miloong thutpoon rum ano hanpiite loong asuh le ah chokoh ih rumta.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Mina loong ah ih le ah weh rum ano, chaankot jengkhaap asuh rapne ih roon rumta.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Judas nyia Silas, nengnyi uh khowah angta, nengnyi miloong ah damdi rekamdook ih chaankot jengkhaap jeng koh nyuuta.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Erah ni cheesah tongnyu adi, miloong ah ih romseetam jengkhaap ah jeng koh rum ano o ih kaat thuk nyuuta erah loong ah reeni ngaak wang thuk rumta.
Enoothong Silas ah erah ni tangtong suh liita.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Pool nyia Barnabaas Entiok ni cheesah tongthiin nyuuta, nengnyi damdi wahoh loong ah nep ih Rangte Jengkhaap nyootsoot thiin rumta.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Rekam tongnyu ano Pool ih Barnabaas suh liita; “Sek ih Teesu tiit nyootsootti tih hanpiite loong ah samnuh harep nah ngaak kah tiino sokkah thaak tih mamah ih tongtha rumla.”
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Eno Barnabaas ih Joon Maak ah nengnyi damdi waksiit thung,
38 But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.
Pool langkoleh heh waksiit ah tapunka ngeh ih thunta, timnge liidoh, Joon Maak ah nengnyi damdi thoon moot kaatmuh, heh Pamphilia nawa ngaak soonta.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Nengnyi rapne daanmui nyu ano pheesoon nyuuta: Barnabaas ah Maak ah siit ano Sipras ko juulam ih daansoonta,
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Pool ih Silas ah siit ano kata, hanpiite loong ah ih nengnyi ah phoongpha rum ano Teesu lak ni look haatkoh rumta.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Pool ah Siria nyia Silisia lam ih kah ano chaas rookweh ni chaan tum kota.
