< Acts 11 >

1 The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
ཨིཏྠཾ བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱ ཨཔཱིཤྭརསྱ ཝཱཀྱམ྄ ཨགྲྀཧླན྄ ཨིམཱཾ ཝཱརྟྟཱཾ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡདེཤསྠཔྲེརིཏཱ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎཤྩ ཤྲུཏཝནྟཿ།
2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him
ཏཏཿ པིཏརེ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརཾ གཏཝཏི ཏྭཀྪེདིནོ ལོཀཱསྟེན སཧ ཝིཝདམཱནཱ ཨཝདན྄,
3 and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
ཏྭམ྄ ཨཏྭཀྪེདིལོཀཱནཱཾ གྲྀཧཾ གཏྭཱ ཏཻཿ སཱརྡྡྷཾ བྷུཀྟཝཱན྄།
4 But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events:
ཏཏཿ པིཏར ཨཱདིཏཿ ཀྲམཤསྟཏྐཱཪྻྱསྱ སཪྻྭཝྲྀཏྟཱནྟམཱཁྱཱཏུམ྄ ཨཱརབྡྷཝཱན྄།
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.
ཡཱཕོནགར ཨེཀདཱཧཾ པྲཱརྠཡམཱནོ མཱུརྩྪིཏཿ སན྄ དརྴནེན ཙཏུརྵུ ཀོཎེཥུ ལམྦནམཱནཾ ཝྲྀཧདྭསྟྲམིཝ པཱཏྲམེཀམ྄ ཨཱཀཱཤདཝརུཧྱ མནྣིཀཊམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪད྄ ཨཔཤྱམ྄།
6 I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
པཤྩཱཏ྄ ཏད྄ ཨནནྱདྲྀཥྚྱཱ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ ཝིཝིཙྱ ཏསྱ མདྷྱེ ནཱནཱཔྲཀཱརཱན྄ གྲཱམྱཝནྱཔཤཱུན྄ ཨུརོགཱམིཁེཙརཱཾཤྩ དྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄;
7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’
ཧེ པིཏར ཏྭམུཏྠཱཡ གཏྭཱ བྷུཾཀྵྭ མཱཾ སམྦོདྷྱ ཀཐཡནྟཾ ཤབྡམེཀཾ ཤྲུཏཝཱཾཤྩ།
8 ‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
ཏཏོཧཾ པྲཏྱཝདཾ, ཧེ པྲབྷོ ནེཏྠཾ བྷཝཏུ, ཡཏཿ ཀིཉྩན ནིཥིདྡྷམ྄ ཨཤུཙི དྲཝྱཾ ཝཱ མམ མུཁམདྷྱཾ ཀདཱཔི ན པྲཱཝིཤཏ྄།
9 But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’
ཨཔརམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརོ ཡཏ྄ ཤུཙི ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄ ཏནྣིཥིདྡྷཾ ན ཛཱནཱིཧི དྭི རྨཱམྤྲཏཱིདྲྀཤཱི ཝིཧཱཡསཱིཡཱ ཝཱཎཱི ཛཱཏཱ།
10 This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.
ཏྲིརིཏྠཾ སཏི ཏཏ྄ སཪྻྭཾ པུནརཱཀཱཤམ྄ ཨཱཀྲྀཥྚཾ།
11 Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
པཤྩཱཏ྄ ཀཻསརིཡཱནགརཱཏ྄ ཏྲཡོ ཛནཱ མནྣིཀཊཾ པྲེཥིཏཱ ཡཏྲ ནིཝེཤནེ སྠིཏོཧཾ ཏསྨིན྄ སམཡེ ཏཏྲོཔཱཏིཥྛན྄།
12 The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.
ཏདཱ ནིཿསནྡེཧཾ ཏཻཿ སཱརྡྡྷཾ ཡཱཏུམ྄ ཨཱཏྨཱ མཱམཱདིཥྚཝཱན྄; ཏཏཿ པརཾ མཡཱ སཧཻཏེཥུ ཥཌྦྷྲཱཏྲྀཥུ གཏེཥུ ཝཡཾ ཏསྱ མནུཛསྱ གྲྀཧཾ པྲཱཝིཤཱམ།
13 He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.
སོསྨཱཀཾ ནིཀཊེ ཀཐཱམེཏཱམ྄ ཨཀཐཡཏ྄ ཨེཀདཱ དཱུཏ ཨེཀཿ པྲཏྱཀྵཱིབྷཱུཡ མམ གྲྀཧམདྷྱེ ཏིཥྚན྄ མཱམིཏྱཱཛྙཱཔིཏཝཱན྄, ཡཱཕོནགརཾ པྲཏི ལོཀཱན྄ པྲཧིཏྱ པིཏརནཱམྣཱ ཝིཁྱཱཏཾ ཤིམོནམ྄ ཨཱཧཱུཡཡ;
14 He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’
ཏཏསྟཝ ཏྭདཱིཡཔརིཝཱརཱཎཱཉྩ ཡེན པརིཏྲཱཎཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏི ཏཏ྄ ས ཨུཔདེཀྵྱཏི།
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.
ཨཧཾ ཏཱཾ ཀཐཱམུཏྠཱཔྱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཏེན པྲཐམམ྄ ཨསྨཱཀམ྄ ཨུཔརི ཡཐཱ པཝིཏྲ ཨཱཏྨཱཝརཱུཌྷཝཱན྄ ཏཐཱ ཏེཥཱམཔྱུཔརི སམཝརཱུཌྷཝཱན྄།
16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
ཏེན ཡོཧན྄ ཛལེ མཛྫིཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི སཏྱཾ ཀིནྟུ ཡཱུཡཾ པཝིཏྲ ཨཱཏྨནི མཛྫིཏཱ བྷཝིཥྱཐ, ཨིཏི ཡདྭཱཀྱཾ པྲབྷུརུདིཏཝཱན྄ ཏཏ྄ ཏདཱ མཡཱ སྨྲྀཏམ྄།
17 So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”
ཨཏཿ པྲབྷཱ ཡཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚེ པྲཏྱཡཀཱརིཎོ ཡེ ཝཡམ྄ ཨསྨབྷྱམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརོ ཡད྄ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཏཏ྄ ཏེབྷྱོ ལོཀེབྷྱོཔི དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཏཏཿ ཀོཧཾ? ཀིམཧམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཾ ཝཱརཡིཏུཾ ཤཀྣོམི?
18 When they heard this, their objections were put to rest, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
ཀཐཱམེཏཱཾ ཤྲུཝཱ ཏེ ཀྵཱནྟཱ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ གུཎཱན྄ ཨནུཀཱིརྟྟྱ ཀཐིཏཝནྟཿ, ཏརྷི པརམཱཡུཿཔྲཱཔྟིནིམིཏྟམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརོནྱདེཤཱིཡལོཀེབྷྱོཔི མནཿཔརིཝརྟྟནརཱུཔཾ དཱནམ྄ ཨདཱཏ྄།
19 Meanwhile those scattered by the persecution that began with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message only to Jews.
སྟིཕཱནཾ པྲཏི ཨུཔདྲཝེ གྷཊིཏེ ཡེ ཝིཀཱིརྞཱ ཨབྷཝན྄ ཏཻ ཕཻནཱིཀཱིཀུཔྲཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱསུ བྷྲམིཏྭཱ ཀེཝལཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱན྄ ཝིནཱ ཀསྱཱཔྱནྱསྱ སམཱིཔ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཀཐཱཾ ན པྲཱཙཱརཡན྄།
20 But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.
ཨཔརཾ ཏེཥཱཾ ཀུཔྲཱིཡཱཿ ཀུརཱིནཱིཡཱཤྩ ཀིཡནྟོ ཛནཱ ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱནགརཾ གཏྭཱ ཡཱུནཱནཱིཡལོཀཱནཱཾ སམཱིཔེཔི པྲབྷོཪྻཱིཤོཿ ཀཐཱཾ པྲཱཙཱརཡན྄།
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
པྲབྷོཿ ཀརསྟེཥཱཾ སཧཱཡ ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཏསྨཱད྄ ཨནེཀེ ལོཀཱ ཝིཤྭསྱ པྲབྷུཾ པྲཏི པརཱཝརྟྟནྟ།
22 When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
ཨིཏི ཝཱརྟྟཱཡཱཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམསྠམཎྜལཱིཡལོཀཱནཱཾ ཀརྞགོཙརཱིབྷཱུཏཱཡཱམ྄ ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱནགརཾ གནྟུ ཏེ བརྞབྦཱཾ པྲཻརཡན྄།
23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to abide in the Lord with all their hearts.
ཏཏོ བརྞབྦཱསྟཏྲ ཨུཔསྠིཏཿ སན྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱཱནུགྲཧསྱ ཕལཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ སཱནནྡོ ཛཱཏཿ,
24 Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
ས སྭཡཾ སཱདྷུ ཪྻིཤྭཱསེན པཝིཏྲེཎཱཏྨནཱ ཙ པརིཔཱུརྞཿ སན྄ གནོནིཥྚཡཱ པྲབྷཱཝཱསྠཱཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ སཪྻྭཱན྄ ཨུཔདིཥྚཝཱན྄ ཏེན པྲབྷོཿ ཤིཥྱཱ ཨནེཀེ བབྷཱུཝུཿ།
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
ཤེཥེ ཤཽལཾ མྲྀགཡིཏུཾ བརྞབྦཱསྟཱརྵནགརཾ པྲསྠིཏཝཱན྄། ཏཏྲ ཏསྱོདྡེཤཾ པྲཱཔྱ ཏམ྄ ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱནགརམ྄ ཨཱནཡཏ྄;
26 and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.
ཏཏསྟཽ མཎྜལཱིསྠལོཀཻཿ སབྷཱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ སཾཝཏྶརམེཀཾ ཡཱཝད྄ བཧུལོཀཱན྄ ཨུཔཱདིཤཏཱཾ; ཏསྨིན྄ ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱནགརེ ཤིཥྱཱཿ པྲཐམཾ ཁྲཱིཥྚཱིཡནཱམྣཱ ཝིཁྱཱཏཱ ཨབྷཝན྄།
27 In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
ཏཏཿ པརཾ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདིགཎེ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམ ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱནགརམ྄ ཨཱགཏེ སཏི
28 One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)
ཨཱགཱབནཱམཱ ཏེཥཱམེཀ ཨུཏྠཱཡ ཨཱཏྨནཿ ཤིཀྵཡཱ སཪྻྭདེཤེ དུརྦྷིཀྵཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏཱིཏི ཛྙཱཔིཏཝཱན྄; ཏཏཿ ཀླཽདིཡཀཻསརསྱཱདྷིཀཱརེ སཏི ཏཏ྄ པྲཏྱཀྵམ྄ ཨབྷཝཏ྄།
29 So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.
ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཤིཥྱཱ ཨེཀཻཀཤཿ སྭསྭཤཀྟྱནུསཱརཏོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡདེཤནིཝཱསིནཱཾ བྷྲཏྲྀཎཱཾ དིནཡཱཔནཱརྠཾ དྷནཾ པྲེཥཡིཏུཾ ནིཤྩིཏྱ
30 This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.
