Acts 15
1 And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
Judah ngam pan hongpai mi pawlkhat te in, Moses thukham bang in vunteap na tan bua uh le, ngupna nga thei ngawl tu nu hi, ci in suapui te hil uh hi.
2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
Hite sia Paul le Barnabas te taw thu kisik ngawl na le ki nial na nasia mama nei uh ahikom in, Antioch a om pawlpi te in Paul, Barnabas le mi pawlkhat te sia hi thudokna taw kisai Jerusalem ah sawltak te le upa te kung ah then tu in khensat uh hi.
3 They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
Pawlpi in lamkal ah amate tha uh a, Phoenicia le Samaria kantan in pai hi, taciang Gentile te i kikhealna thu pualak uh a: suapui te theampo nasiatak in lungdamsak hi.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
Amate Jerusalem a thet uh ciang in pawlpi, sawltak te le upa te in muak a, Pathian in amate tungtawn a vawt nate theampo son uh hi.
5 But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
Ahihang Pharisee te sungpan thu um pawlkhat te in Gentile thu um te sia vunteap tan kul a, Moses thukham zong zui tu in thupiak kul hi, ci uh hi.
6 And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
Taciang hi thu ngaisun khawm tu in sawltak te le upa te munkhat ah ki kaikhawm uh hi.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Thu tampi a ki nial zawk uh ciang, Peter ding a, amate tung ah, u le nau te awng, Gentile mite in keima kam pan in lungdamna thupha za uh a, a up theina tu in, tuma hiat in Pathian in eite sung pan keima hong teal hi, ci na he uh hi.
8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
Taciang thinsung a he Pathian in tettipang a, eite tung ah hongpiak bang in amate zong Tha Thiangtho pia hi;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Taciang eite le amate kilaklaw ah ki bat ngawlna bangma koi ngawl a, upna tungtawn in amate thinsung te thiangthosak hi.
10 Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Tua ahikom, tu in, i pu le pa te le eite in zong i puak zawk ngawl hakkol sia nungzui te ngawng ah koi in banghang Pathian ze-et nu ziam?
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
Ahihang Topa Jesus Christ i thuthiamna tungtawn in amate ngupna a nga uh bangma in eite zong i nga tu hi, ci in ka um hi, ci hi.
12 And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Tua zawkciang in Paul le Barnabas te in Gentile te sung ah Pathian in amate zang in a vawt nalamdang tatuam te a son uh ciang in, mihon pi te in thim khipkhep in ngai uh hi.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
Amate thim khipkhep in a om zawk uh ciang in, James in, u le nau te awng, hong ngai tavun:
14 Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
Ama min atu mi teal tu in Pathian in amasabel in Gentile mite tung ah a pai na thu Simon in hong pualak zo hi.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
Taciang hi thu sia kamsang te kammal in zong lungkim uh a,
16 After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
Hi thu zawkciang in kong paikik tu a, a puksa David i biakbuk sia ka sa kik tu hi; taciang a lal sa sia kasakik tu a, ka dingsak kik tu hi:
17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
Tabang in a tanglai mihing te le Ama min taw a sap Gentile te theampo in Topa zong tu uh hi, ci in hi thu te theampo a vawt Topa in ci hi.
Pathian in leitung piancil pan in a nasep theampo he siat hi, ci ki at zo hi. (aiōn g165)
19 For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
Tua ahikom keima i thukhenna sia, Gentile mite sung pan in Pathian sang ah a kihei te nawngkaisak bua tawng:
20 But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Ahihang milim taw in a thiangtho ngawl te, paktat mawna, tawlsan in a kithat sa te le thisan te pial tu in lai kong thak zaw hi.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
Banghangziam cile Moses i thukham sia nidang pek pan in khua tatuam ah ki hil a, synagogue te sung zong ah sabbath nisim in ki sim tawntung hi, ci hi.
22 Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
Tua zawkciang in amate sung pan in a tealsa te, Judah a kici Barsabas le suapui te sung ah a thupibel Silas te sia, Paul le Barnabas te taw Antioch ah paisak tu in, sawltak te le elder te sia pawlpi buppi in lungkim uh hi:
23 Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
Taciang hibang in amate in, sawltak te, elder te le suapui te in Antioch, Syria le Cilicia a om Gentile suapui te hong paupui khu hi:
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
Kote kung pan in mi pawlkhat te note kung ah hongpai uh a, koma thupiak hi ngawl napi, vunteap tan hamtang tu nu hi, ciang thukham zong zui tu nu hi, ci in hong sawl na kammal in note hong nawngkaisak a, na nuntakna uh susia hi, ci thu ka za uh hi:
25 It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
Munkhat ah thu kisi in omkhawm tek a, ka teal uh mihing te sia ka it mama uh Barnabas le Paul taw note kung ah kong paisak tu uh pha ka sa uh hi.
26 Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amate sia i Topa Jesus Christ min atu in a nuntakna dong a pia ngam te a hi uh hi.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
Tua ahikom Judah le Silas te kong paisak uh a, lai kong thak uh bangma in amate in a kam uh taw hongson tu uh hi.
28 For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
Banghangziam cile note tung ah hi a kisam nate simngawl a lianzaw vanngit kong sot ngawl tu uh sia Tha Thiangtho le kote in pha kasa uh hi;
29 That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
Tabang in note in milim tung ah na piak uh sa te, thisan, tawlsan in a kingo sa te le paktat mawna te pial vun: tabang te pan in noma le noma na ki keamcing uh le, a pha vawt na hi uh hi. Na damtek tavun, ci in laithak at uh hi.
30 They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
Tua ahikom amate a paisak uh ciang in Antioch theng uh a: mihon te munkhat ah a ki kaikhop zawk uh ciang in, laithak sia pia uh hi:
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Tua laithak a sim zawk uh ciang in, henepna thu ahikom in lungdam mama uh hi.
32 But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
Taciang Judah le Silas te zong kamsang te ahi uh bangma in, suapui te thu tampi taw hanthawn uh a, kipsak uh hi.
33 And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
Tua mun ah tawlkhat sung a om zawk uh ciang in, suapui te kung pan sawltak te kung ah a thimtham in pai uh hi.
34 But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
Ahihang Silas sia tua mun ah om nuam lai hi.
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
Paul le Barnabas sia Antioch ah omsuak a, midang tampi te taw Topa thuhil in tangko uh hi.
36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
Tawlkhat sung zawkciang in, Paul in Barnabas kung ah, Topa thu ka hil na uh mun khua tatuam ah suapui te ve tu in paikik tawng, bangbang in om ziam, ci en tawng, ci hi.
37 And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
Taciang Barnabas in Mark a kici John sia amate taw tonpui tu in ngaisun hi.
38 But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
Ahihang Paul in Pamphylia pan in amate taw kikhen a, nasep na mun ah a pai ngawl hu in, amate taw tonpui tu pha ngawl hi, ci ngaisun hi.
39 And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Tua thu Paul le Barnabas nasiatak in ki nial uh a, khat le khat kikhen uh hi: taciang Barnabas in Mark tonpui a, Cyprus sang ah tembaw taw pai hi;
40 But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
Taciang Paul in Silas teal a, suapui te i Pathian thuthiamna sung ah apna taw in pai uh hi.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
Taciang Syria le Cilicia ngamsung theampo ah pai kakoai uh a, pawlpi te kipsak uh hi.
