Acts 15
1 And certain ones, descending from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
Tami bangpatetnaw ni Judah ram lahoi a tho awh teh, Mosi e kâlawk patetlah vuensomanae ka hmawt hoeh e ni rungngang lah na awm thai mahoeh, telah hmaunawnghanaw a cangkhai awh.
2 Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas made no small uprising against them, they decided that Paul and Barnabas, and some from the opposing side, should go up to the Apostles and priests in Jerusalem concerning this question.
Hatnavah Pawl, Barnabas ti hoi ahnimanaw teh kâounnae puenghoi ao dawkvah, hmaunawnghanaw ni, Pawl, Barnabas hoi alouke a hnukkâbangnaw hoiyah hote laidei hanelah Jerusalem kaawm e gunceinaw hoi kacuenaw koe a cei awh hane lawk a dei awh.
3 Therefore, being led by the church, they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy among all the brothers.
Kawhmoun ni ahnimanaw yo a thak awh. Phoenicia hoi Samaria ram lahoi pou a cei awh navah, Jentelnaw koe a lungpatawnae kong ahnimouh ni a dei awh teh hmaunawnghanaw pueng a lunghawi sak awh.
4 And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the Apostles and the elders, reporting what great things God had done with them.
Jerusalem a pha awh navah, kawhmoun hoi Gunceinaw, kacuenaw ni a dawn awh. Ahnimouh ni Cathut ni ahnimouh hno lahoi hno a sak e naw a dei pouh awh.
5 But some from the sect of the Pharisees, those who were believers, rose up saying, “It is necessary for them to be circumcised and to be instructed to keep the Law of Moses.”
Hatei Farasinaw koe lahoi ka yuem e tami tangawn ni a kangdue awh teh, Jentelnaw hah vuensoma sak hane hoi Mosi e kâlawk tarawi sak hanelah lawkthui hanelah ao ati awh.
6 And the Apostles and elders came together to take care of this matter.
Hatdawkvah gunceinaw hoi kacuenaw ni hote lawk paceinae pouk hanelah a kamkhueng awh.
7 And after a great contention had taken place, Peter rose up and said to them: “Noble brothers, you know that, in recent days, God has chosen from among us, by my mouth, Gentiles to hear the word of the Gospel and to believe.
Tha hoi a kâoun awh hnukkhu vah Piter ni a kangdue teh hmaunawnghanaw, Jentelnaw ni kamthang kahawi a thai awh teh, a yuem awh thai nahanlah Cathut ni nangmouh thung hoi kai heh kadeikung lah na rawi e na panue awh.
8 And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us.
Lungthin be ka panuek e Cathut ni Kathoung Muitha heh maimouh na poe e patetlah ahnimouh hai a poe awh teh ahnimouh koelah a kampangkhai.
9 And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Cathut ni ahnimouh hoi maimouh khoeroe kapeknae awm laipalah yuemnae lahoi ahnimae lungthin a thoungsak.
10 Now therefore, why do you tempt God to impose a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Hatdawkvah nangmouh ni mintoenaw hoi maimouh ni hai phu thai hoeh e hno teh ahnimae a loung dawk na patue e lahoi atuvah Cathut tanouk hanlah na ngai awh.
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them.”
Maimouh hai ahnimouh patetlah Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a lungmanae kecu dawk rungngang lah o teh yuem awh, atipouh.
12 Then the entire multitude was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul, describing what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
Hatnavah ka kamkhueng e tami pueng teh sairasuep lah ao awh teh, Barnabas hoi Pawl ti ni ahnimouh koehoi Jentelnaw koe Cathut ni a sak e mitnoutnae hoi kângairunae a dei awh e a thai awh.
13 And after they had been silent, James responded by saying: “Noble brothers, listen to me.
Ahnimanaw ni lawk dei e a pâbaw awh hnukkhu, Jem ni hmaunawnghanaw, kaie ka lawk thai awh haw.
14 Simon has explained in what manner God first visited, so as to take from the Gentiles a people to his name.
Cathut ni ama hanlah Jentelnaw thung hoi a miphun lah a coe nahan, ahnimouh koe hmaloe a thonae hah Simeon ni apasuek vah a dei toe.
15 And the words of the Prophets are in agreement with this, just as it was written:
Profetnaw e a lawk dei e hai hete a lawk hoi a kâvan.
16 ‘After these things, I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down. And I will rebuild its ruins, and I will raise it up,
Cakathoung ni, hetnaw e hnuklah kai ni bout ka tho vaiteh ka rawm tangcoung e Devit e lukkareiim hah bout ka sak han. Raphoe tangcoung e hote rim hah bout sak lah ao vaiteh ka caksak han.
17 so that the rest of men may seek the Lord, along with all the nations over whom my name has been invoked, says the Lord, who does these things.’
Ka min lahoi ka kaw e Jentelnaw hai a yungyoe ka hring e Cathut a tawng awh nahane doeh telah,
ayan hoi hete lawk ka panueksakkung Bawipa ni a dei atipouh. (aiōn g165)
19 Because of this, I judge that those who were converted to God from among the Gentiles are not to be disturbed,
Hatdawkvah Jentelnaw koehoi Cathut koe lah a lungkâthung e naw koe runae poe hanlah awmhoeh.
20 but instead that we write to them, that they should keep themselves from the defilement of idols, and from fornication, and from whatever has been suffocated, and from blood.
Meikaphawk dawk thounghoehnae, kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae, lahuen kara e moi hoi a thinaw hah roun hanelah ahnimouh koe ca lahoi thaisak hanlah ka pouk.
21 For Moses, from ancient times, has had in each city those who preach him in the synagogues, where he is read on every Sabbath.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh ayan hoi kho tangkuem vah Mosi e phung lawk ka dei e ao teh, hote lawk hah sabbath hnintangkuem sinakoknaw dawk ouk touk awh atipouh.
22 Then it pleased the Apostles and elders, with the whole Church, to choose men from among them, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, and Judas, who was surnamed Barsabbas, and Silas, preeminent men among the brothers,
Hatnavah Gunceinaw, kacuenaw hoi Kawhmoun abuemlah ni amamouh thung dawk e tami a rawi awh teh, Pawl, Barnabas hoi hmaunawnghanaw thung dawk e kahrawikung lah kaawm awh e Barsabbas telah a kaw awh e Judah hoi Silas a rawi awh.
23 what was written by their own hands: “The Apostles and elders, brothers, to those who are at Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, brothers from the Gentiles, greetings.
Ahnimouh koe a sin sak awh e ca dawkvah, gunceinaw kacuenaw hoi hmaunawnghanaw ni Antiok kho Siria ram hoi Cilicia ram kaawm e Jentel hmaunawnghanaw kut na man awh.
24 Since we have heard that some, going out from among us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no commandment,
Kaimouh koe e tami bangpatet ni kaimouh ni patoun laipalah a cei awh teh lawk aphunphun lah a dei awh teh, nangmouh na lungpuen awh teh, a rucatnae na poe awh tie ka thai awh. Vuensom na a awh vaiteh, kâlawk hai na tarawi awh roeroe han a ti awh. Hotpatetlae lawk dei hanelah ahnimouh koe kâpoelawk banghai ka poe awh hoeh.
25 it pleased us, being assembled as one, to choose men and to send them to you, with our most beloved Barnabas and Paul:
Hatdawkvah kaimouh ni ka kâhmo awh teh, maimouh ni pahren e Pawl hoi Barnabas hoi cungtalah nangmouh koe tami patoun hanelah ka lung a kuep awh. Hatdawkvah maimouh ni Bawipa Jisuh Khrih min kecu dawkvah amamae hringnae kâphumnaw lah kaawm e,
26 men who have handed over their lives on behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
maimouh ni lungpataw awh e Barnabas hoi Pawl tinaw hoi reirei patoun hanelah tami kahni touh rawi hane ka lungkuep awh.
27 Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, with the spoken word, reaffirm to you the same things.
Hatdawkvah Judas hoi Silas hah ka rawi awh teh nangmouh koe ka patoun awh. Ahnimouh ni lawk hoi hai a dei awh han doeh.
28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose no further burden upon you, other than these necessary things:
Hete phunglamnaw hloilah alouke hnokari titca hai nangmouh van toung sak hoeh nahanlah Kathoung Muitha hoi kaimouh ni ka hnâbo awh.
29 that you abstain from things immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication. You will do well to keep yourselves from these things. Farewell.”
Hote phunglam teh nangmouh ni meikaphawk bawknae hno, thi, lahuen kara e moi, hoi kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae hah roun awh. Nangmouh teh hete hnonaw hoi kathoung lah na awm awh pawiteh ahawi. Na tak dam awh naseh telah a thut pouh awh.
30 And so, having been dismissed, they went down to Antioch. And gathering the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
Gunceinaw a patoun navah Antiok kho lah a cei awh teh, haw a pha hoi kayuemnaw a pâkhueng awh hnukkhu ca hah ahnimae kut dawk a poe awh.
31 And when they had read it, they were gladdened by this consolation.
Ahnimouh ni hote ca a touk awh teh thapoenae lawk dawk a konawm awh.
32 But Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves, consoled the brothers with many words, and they were strengthened.
Judah hoi Silas amamouh roi hai profet lah ao roi dawkvah ahnimouh koe thapoenae lawk a dei pouh roi.
33 Then, after spending some more time there, they were dismissed with peace, by the brothers, to those who had sent them.
Ahnimanaw teh hnin dongdeng ao awh teh, hmaunawnghanaw ni lungmawng lah a thak awh teh kapatounkungnaw koe let a ban sak awh.
34 But it seemed good to Silas to remain there. So Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
Hatei Silas teh hawvah tongtang ao.
35 And Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, with many others, teaching and evangelizing the Word of the Lord.
Pawl hoi Barnabas teh Antiok kho ao navah alouke taminaw hoi cungtalah Bawipa e lawk hah a cangkhai awh.
36 Then, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return to visit the brothers throughout all the cities in which we have preached the Word of the Lord, to see how they are.”
A hnin moi ao hoi Pawl ni Barnabas koe, Bawipa e lawk pâpho tangcoungnae kho dawk kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw, bangtelane ao awh tie yo hloe hanelah ahnimouh koe bout cet awh sei atipouh.
37 And Barnabas wanted to take John, who was surnamed Mark, with them also.
Barnabas ni Mark tie Jawhan hai hrawi hanelah a ngai.
38 But Paul was saying that he ought not to be received, since he withdrew from them at Pamphylia, and he had not gone with them in the work.
Hateiteh, Pawl ni Pamfilia ram vah ahnimouh hoi a kamphei teh oun a cei dawkvah, a thaw tawknae koe ahnimouh hoi reirei ka cet ngai hoeh e teh kaw hanelah awmhoeh telah a pouk.
39 And there occurred a dissension, to such an extent that they departed from one another. And Barnabas, indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Hatnavah puenghoi kâounnae ao dawkvah buet touh hoi buet touh a kamphei roi toe. Barnabas ni Mark a hrawi teh Saipras tuilum lah a cei.
40 Yet truly, Paul, choosing Silas, set out, being delivered by the brothers to the grace of God.
Pawl ni Silas a rawi teh hmaunawnghanaw lahoi Bawipa e lungmanae dawk hnawng lah ao hnukkhu a kamthaw.
41 And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Churches, instructing them to keep the precepts of the Apostles and the elders.
Ahni teh Siria ram hoi Cilicia ram lah tawngtang a cei teh, kawhmounnaw hah a cak sak.
