Acts 15
1 Now certain men came down from Judaea, teaching the brothers and saying that without circumcision, after the rule of Moses, there is no salvation.
Judah qam awhkawng thlang ak cawn law ing, “Mosi a cawngpyinaak amyihna chahhui am nami qeet awhtaw thaawngnaak am hu kawm uk ti,” anawh koeinaakhqi ce ana cawngpyi khqi uhy.
2 And after Paul and Barnabas had had no little argument and discussion with them, the brothers made a decision to send Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them to the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem about this question.
Ve a kawnglamawh Paul, Barnaba ingkaw cekkhqi ce ak tlona oelh qu uhy. Ve oelhqunaak ak camawh Jerusalem awh ak awm ceityihkhqi ingkaw ak hqaamcakhqi venna ak cet hamna Paul, Barnaba ingkaw aming lak awhkaw thlang chang thlang vang tloek ce tyk uhy.
3 So they, being sent on their way by the church, went through Phoenicia and Samaria, giving news of the salvation of the Gentiles, to the great joy of all the brothers.
Thlangboel ing cekkhqi ce thak khqi unawh, Phinicia qam ingkaw Samaria qam khuina ami ceh awh, Gentelkhqi ikawmyihna amik kaw ami thaw ti akawng ce kqawn pek khqi uhy. Cawhkaw awithang ing koeinaakhqi boeih ce zeel sak khqi hy.
4 And when they came to Jerusalem, they had a meeting with the church and the Apostles and the rulers, and they gave an account of all the things which God had done through them.
Jerusalem khaw ami pha awh, cekkhqi ce thlangboel, ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ing ana do khqi uhy, cekkhqi hawnaak ing Khawsa ing them a saikhqi boeih ce kqawn pe uhy.
5 But some of the Pharisees, who were of the faith, got up and said, It is necessary for these to have circumcision and to keep the law of Moses.
Cawh ak cangnaak thlang khuiawh Farasi benna ak awm thlang vang tloek ing dyi unawh, “Gentelkhqi ce chahhui qeet sak nawh, Mosi a anaa awi ce hquut aham cawngpyi ham awm hy,” ti uhy.
6 And the Apostles and the rulers of the church came together and gave thought to the question.
Cedawngawh cawhkaw awi kqawn aham Jerusalem khaw na ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ce cun uhy.
7 And when there had been much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, My brothers, you have knowledge that some time back it was God's pleasure that by my mouth the good news might be given to the Gentiles so that they might have faith.
Awi amik kqawn coengawh Piter ce dyi nawh awi kqawn hy: “Koeinaakhqi, Gentelkhqi ing kai am kha awhkawng awithang leek ce za unawh amik cangnaak thai aham synawh Khawsa ing nangmih ak khuiawh kaw thlang vang ce tyk hy.
8 And God, the searcher of hearts, was a witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit even as he did to us;
Kawlung ak simkung Khawsa ing, ningnih a venawh ani peek khqi lawt amyihna, cekkhqi venawh Ciim Myihla a peeknaak ak caming cekkhqi ce do hawh hy tice dang sak hawh hy.
9 Making no division between them and us, but making clean their hearts by faith.
Khawsa ing ningnih ingkaw a mingmih ce am pek am bo hy, cangnaak ak caming cekkhqi ak kawlung ce ciimcaih sak hawh hy.
10 Why then are you testing God, by putting on the neck of the disciples a yoke so hard that not even our fathers or we were strong enough for it?
Cawhtaw ikaw ham ningnih ingkaw ni pakhqi ing zani ni naa tloei phyihqih ce hubatkhqi a hawng awh tloeng pe nawh Khawsa ce noek a dak aham naming cai uh?
11 But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.
Amni! Ningmih a Bawipa Jesu am qeennaak ak cam ing ni, a mingmih amyihna ningnih awm hul na ni awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.
12 And all the people were quiet while Barnabas and Paul gave an account of the signs and wonders which God had done among the Gentiles by them.
Barnaba ingkaw Paul hawnaak ak caming Khawsa ing Gentelkhqi venawh kawpoek kyi hatnaak ik-oeih a saikhqi ce cekqawi ing anik kqawn awh thlang kqeng ing ngai uhy.
13 And when they had come to an end, James, answering, said, My brothers, give ear to me:
Anik kqawn boeih coengawh, Jakob ing, “Koeinaakhqi ngai lah uh.
14 Symeon has given an account of how God was first pleased to take from among the Gentiles a people for himself.
Khawsa ing ikawmyihna ak cyk awh amah aham Gentel thlangkhqi a lawhnaak akawng ce Simeon ing nik kqawn law pek khqi hawh hy.
15 And this is in agreement with the words of the prophets, as it is said,
Ve ak awi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ak awi awm qoep hy:
16 After these things I will come back, and will put up the tent of David which has been broken down, building up again its broken parts and making it complete:
‘Vek coengawh hlat kawng nyng saw, David a imca ak tlu ce sa tlaih kawng nyng. Ak seekhqi ce sa tlaih kawng nyng saw, thawh tlaih kawng nyng.
17 So that the rest of men may make search for the Lord, and all the Gentiles on whom my name is named,
Thlak chang, kang ming ak phyi Gentelkhqi boeih ing Bawipa suinaak hamna ce im ce dyih tlaih kawng nyng,' ti ce.
Khawmdek syncyk awhkawng ve ak awi ak simsakkung Bawipa ing tihy,’ tinawh ana qee amyihna. (aiōn g165)
19 For this reason my decision is, that we do not put trouble in the way of those who from among the Gentiles are turned to God;
Cedawngawh, Khawsa benna ak hlat Gentelkhqi ce kyinaak peek aham am awm hy, tinawh awi tlyk nyng.
20 But that we give them orders to keep themselves from things offered to false gods, and from the evil desires of the body, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from blood.
Bulnaak sainaak buh a ankhqi ama ai aham, nupa amak thym na thawlh sainaakkhqi, a hawng awh ak khak mat mehkhqi ingkaw a thikhqi a mami ai aham ca mah pat u sih ti nyng.
21 For Moses, from times long past, has his preachers in every town, reading his law in the Synagogues every Sabbath.
Ikawtih ak cykca awhkawng Mosi ing khaw boeih awh ak awi kqawnpyikung tyk khawi lawt nawh, Sabbath a hoei awh anih ak awi ce sinakawk awh noet poepa uhy,” tina hy.
22 Then it seemed good to the Apostles and the rulers and all the church, to send men from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas, named Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers:
Cekcoengawh ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ing thlangboel ingkaw a mimah anglakawhkaw thlang vang ce tyk unawh Antiok khaw na Paul ingkaw Barnaba mi tyi haih uhy. Judas (Barnabas a mi tinaak) ingkaw Sila ce tyk uhy, cekqawi ce koeinaakhqi ak sawikung na awm hy nih.
23 And they sent a letter by them, saying, The Apostles and the older brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, may joy be with you:
Cekqawi a kut awh ak kai awhkaw amyihna ca pat pe uhy. Ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi, nangmih a koeinaakhqi ing, Antiok khaw ingkaw Siria qam ingkaw Kilikia qam awh ak awm cangnaak cakhqi venawh: Kut ni tlaih khqi unyng.
24 Because we have knowledge that some who went from us have been troubling you with their words, putting your souls in doubt; to whom we gave no such order;
Kaimih a simpyinaak a awm kaana kaimih a venawh kawng thlang thlang vang nangmih a venawh law unawh nangmih ce kyinaak ni pek khqi uhy, cekkhqi ak awi awh naming ngaih kyi hy tinawh za unyng.
25 It seemed good to us, having come to an agreement together, to send these men to you, with our well loved Barnabas and Paul,
Cedawngawh thlang vang ce tyk unawh taw pyi qawi Paul ingkaw Barnaba mi nangmih a venna tyi haih u sih, tinawh ka ming ha tla boeih hy.
26 Men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Cawhkaw thlangkhqi cetaw ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih ang ming awh ami hqingnaak amik pekhqi na awm uhy.
27 And so we have sent Judas and Silas, who will say the same things to you themselves, by word of mouth.
Cedawngawh kaimih ing ka qee law ce awi ing caksak aham Juda ingkaw Sila ve tyi law unyng.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to put on you nothing more than these necessary things;
Ak kai awhkaw ak ngoe ik-oeihkhqi doeng kaa taw ak chang phyihqih am ka mi phyih sak aham Ciim Myihla ingkaw kaimih ing nep hy ti unyng.
29 To keep from things offered to false gods, and from blood, and from things put to death in ways which are against the law, and from the evil desires of the body; if you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. May you be happy.
Bulnaak sainaak buh a ankhqi, thikhqi, hawng khak mehkhqi koeh ai kawm uk ti, cekcoengawh amak ciim nupa thawlhnaak koeh sai kawm uk ti. Vemyihkhqi amna mi sai awhtaw nep bit kaw. Nami sa dip seh,” ti unawh pat uhy.
30 So they, being sent away, came down to Antioch, and having got the people together, they gave them the letter.
Cekkhqi ce ami tyih coengawh Antiok khaw na ce cet uhy, cawh thlangboel ce pynoet na cet unawh ca ce pe uhy.
31 And after reading it, they were glad of its comfort.
Ca ce ami noet awh cawhkaw thapeeknaak awi awh ce zeel uhy.
32 And Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, gave teaching to the brothers and made them strong in the faith.
Juda ingkaw Sila awm, tawngha na ani awm a dawngawh, koeinaakhqi ce tha pe nih nawh awi kqawn pe hy nih.
33 And when they had been there for some time, they were sent back in peace by the brothers to those who had sent them.
Khawnghi iqyt nu cawh ani awm coengawh, koeinaakhqi ing cekqawi ce ngaihdingnaak awi ing cekqawi ak tyikungkhqi venna tyi tlaih uhy.
Cehlai Sila taw cawh ce awm aham cai hy.
35 But Paul and Barnabas kept on in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of God, with a number of others.
Paul ingkaw Barnaba ce Antiok khaw awh awm poe hy nih, Bawipa ak awi ce thlang khawzah a venawh cawngpyi nawh kqawn hy nih.
36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go back and see the brothers in every town where we have given the word of God, and see how they are.
Khawnghi iqyt dy nu a dii coengawh Paul ing Barnaba na ce, “Bawipak awi nik kqawnnaak khaw a hoei awh cet nih nawhtaw koeinaakkhqi ce hqip tlaih lah sih, ikawmyihna nu ami awm hy voei? tina hy.
37 And Barnabas had a desire to take with them John, named Mark.
Barnaba ing Marka tinawh awm amik khy Johan ce ceh pyi aham ngaih hy,
38 But Paul was of the opinion that it was not right to take with them one who had gone away from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with the work.
cehlai anih ing cekqawi ce Pamphylia khaw awh cehta nawh bibinaak awh amak bawng poe thai a dawngawh Paul ingtaw anih ce ceh pyi aham am nep hy tinawh poek hy.
39 And there was a sharp argument between them, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and went by ship to Cyprus;
Ce akawng awh ce oelh qu nih nawh kqeng hy nih. Barnaba ing Marka ce khyn nawh Kupra benna cet hy nih,
40 But Paul took Silas and went away with the blessing of the brothers.
cehlai Paul ingtaw Sila ce tyk nawh koeinaakhqi ing Bawipa am qeennaak awh ami peek coengawh cet lawt hy nih.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, making the churches stronger in the faith.
Siria ingkaw Kilikia qam benawh kawng cet nih nawh thlangboelkhqi ce thapeeknaak awi kqawn pe hy nih.
