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.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé tajin kakiya kꞌutuꞌn pa ri tinimit Antioquía rech Siria are xoꞌpan nikꞌaj achyabꞌ aꞌj pa ri tinimit Judea, xkichapleꞌj ukꞌutik chikiwach ri kojonelabꞌ chi man kekolotaj taj we man kokisax ri ketal kibꞌ jetaq ri kubꞌij ri utaqanik ri Moisés.
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.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé man utz taj xkita we riꞌ rumal riꞌ xkibꞌan tijoj chuqꞌabꞌ pa tzij kukꞌ ri winaq. Kꞌisbꞌal rech ri alaxik rech ri komontyox xuqujeꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ, xkichomaj xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xuqujeꞌ e nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chik xebꞌe chutzijoxik rij we jastaq riꞌ kukꞌ ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe.
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.
Ri kojonelabꞌ rech ri komontyox xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri taqoꞌn pa Jerusalén, pa ri kikꞌowik xeꞌkisolij kanoq ri kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Fenicia, xuqujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Samaria, xkitzijoj chike chi tajin kekojon ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, ri kojonelabꞌ chilaꞌ sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkotik are xkita we riꞌ.
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.
Are xoꞌpan ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, utz kikꞌulaxik xbꞌanik kumal ri kojonelabꞌ, ri taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe. Xkitzijoj kꞌu chike ronojel ri ubꞌanom ri Dios kukꞌ.
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.
E kꞌo kꞌu nikꞌaj achyabꞌ fariseos ri e kojoninaq chik che ri Cristo, xetakꞌiꞌ aqꞌanoq, xkibꞌij: Ri achyabꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj tzi rajawaxik wi kokisax ketal are kekojonik, xuqujeꞌ kakinimaj ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
6 And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
Xkimulij kꞌu kibꞌ ri taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe chuchomaxik rij we jastaq riꞌ.
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.
Are xtzijotaj rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, ri Pedro xtakꞌiꞌk, xubꞌij: Alaxik, iwetaꞌm chi ri Dios najtir uloq xinuchaꞌ chiꞌxoꞌl chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech jeriꞌ kakitatabꞌej xuqujeꞌ kekojon che we tzij riꞌ.
8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
Ri Dios ri retaꞌm ri animaꞌaj xukꞌutu chi xuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are xuya ri Uxlabꞌixel chike jetaq ri xubꞌan chuyaꞌik chaqe uj.
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Ri Dios xuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri kanimaꞌ rumal ri kikojobꞌal, ri Dios man xaq xwi ta xujuchaꞌ uj xane xuchaꞌ xuqujeꞌ areꞌ.
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?
¿Jas kꞌu che kijunamaj iwibꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios, kiya eqaꞌn chikij nikꞌaj chik ri man xekwin ta ri qatat qanan, xuqujeꞌ man xujkwin ta uj che rukꞌaꞌxik?
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
Ri uj qonojel kaqakojo chi kujkoltajik xa rumal riꞌ toqꞌobꞌ ri man taqal ta chaqe are waꞌ ri xuya chaqe ri Ajawxel Jesús.
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.
Qonojel kꞌu ri winaq man xechꞌaw ta chik are xkitatabꞌej ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xkitzijoj ri mayijabꞌal taq kꞌulmatajik ri xubꞌan ri Dios kukꞌ are xoꞌpan kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
Are xetoꞌtaj chutzijoxik ri xkꞌulmatajik, xtakꞌiꞌ ri Jacobo kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Chitampe na, qachalal.
14 Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
Ri Pedro xutzijoj chiꞌwe ri xubꞌan ri Dios are xuꞌsolij nabꞌe mul ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech jeriꞌ xukꞌamawaꞌj che uꞌwinaq.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
Are waꞌ ri tzijotal loq kumal ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios ojer ri tzꞌibꞌatalik, ri kubꞌij:
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:
Are kikꞌow we jastaq riꞌ kintzalij kꞌu na loq, kinyak na ri rachoch ri David ri xtukinik, kinsukꞌumaj na ri tukininaq, kinbꞌan na kꞌakꞌ
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.
rech konojel ri achyabꞌ rech ronojel ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj kaketaꞌmaj na nuwach xuqujeꞌ kuꞌx na e wech.
Jewaꞌ xubꞌij ri Ajawxel, Areꞌ xbꞌanowik chi xetaꞌmax loq we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ ojer. (aiōn g165)
19 For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
Rumal laꞌ kinbꞌij in chi man kuya taj keꞌqaqꞌatej ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel kekojon che ri Dios.
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.
Xwi qatzꞌibꞌaj chike chi man kakitij ta jastaq ri e tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq dios, kiqꞌila kibꞌ che mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ man kuya taj kakitij aꞌwaj e jitzꞌam rachiꞌl kikꞌ.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
Are kꞌu ri utaqanik ri Moisés tzijotal wi loq najtir pa ronojel qꞌij rech uxlanem pa ri Sinagoga kech ri aꞌj Israel.
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.
Ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox xeꞌkichaꞌ taqoꞌn, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik kukꞌ ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ ri Bernabé pa ri tinimit Antioquía rech Siria, chubꞌixik chike ri kojonelabꞌ jas jeꞌ ri xkichomaj. Ri e taqoꞌn are ri Judas (ri kabꞌix Barsabás che) rachiꞌl ri Silas, e kebꞌ kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox.
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.
Ri wuj ri xkikꞌam bꞌik kubꞌij: Uj, ri uj taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri uj kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox, uj iwachalal uj kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén. Uj kujtzꞌibꞌan we wuj riꞌ chike ri e kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Antioquía, Siria, xuqujeꞌ Cilicia. Jun rutzil iwach.
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:
Xqato chi e kꞌo nikꞌaj achyabꞌ keꞌl waral are kakaj kixkisubꞌu rukꞌ taq ri kikꞌutuꞌn, man xa ta kꞌu e qataqom bꞌik.
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:
Rumal riꞌ pa junamam xqachomaj keꞌqataq bꞌik e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kukꞌ ri e loqꞌalaj taq qachalal Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Pablo.
26 Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ri e qachalal riꞌ kiyoꞌm ri kikꞌaslemal chupatanixik ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
Xeꞌqataq bꞌik ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas chuqꞌalajisaxik ri xqachomaj, rumal rech ri kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ xibꞌan loq.
28 For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ ri uj man kaqaj taj kaqaya eqaꞌn chiꞌwij xaq xwi kaqaj kibꞌan we xqatzꞌibꞌaj bꞌik chiꞌwe:
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.
Man kitij ta jastaq ri e tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq dios, man kuya taj kitij aꞌwaj e jitzꞌatalik, man kuya taj kitij kikꞌ xuqujeꞌ chiqꞌila iwibꞌ che mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ. Tajin kibꞌan ri utzilal, we kibꞌan we xqatzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe riꞌ. Kiwil iwibꞌ.
30 They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
Aninaq xebꞌe ri taqoꞌn pa ri tinimit Antioquía, chilaꞌ xeꞌkimulij wi ri kojonelabꞌ, xkijach chike ri wuj ri xya bꞌik chike.
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Xekiꞌkot ri e kojonelabꞌ are xsikꞌix ri wuj ri xtaq bꞌik chike.
32 But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
Ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, naj xetzijon kukꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
33 And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
Xekꞌojiꞌ kꞌu na jun janipa qꞌij chilaꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xetaq bꞌik kumal ri kojonelabꞌ rukꞌ tewechibꞌal xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril pa ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
34 But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
/Ri Silas kꞌut xraj xkanaj kan chilaꞌ./
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xekanaj kan pa ri tinimit Antioquía. Xkitzijoj xuqujeꞌ xkikꞌut ri utzij ri Dios. E kꞌi winaq xuqujeꞌ je xkibꞌano.
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.
Are xikꞌow jun janipa qꞌij, ri Pablo xubꞌij che ri Bernabé: Jeꞌqasolij ri e tinimit ri xqatzijoj wi ri utzij ri Ajawxel, rech kaqilo jas kibꞌanik ri e kꞌakꞌ taq kojonelabꞌ.
37 And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
Are kꞌu ri Bernabé xraj xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos kukꞌ.
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.
Ri Pablo man xraj ta wi, rumal chi ri Juan Marcos xutas kan ribꞌ chike pa ri tinimit Panfilia, man xchakun ta chi kukꞌ.
39 And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Man xukꞌulaj ta kꞌu ribꞌ ri kichomanik rumal riꞌ xkijach kibꞌ. Ri Bernabé xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos, xeꞌ pa Chipre.
40 But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
Ri Pablo kꞌut, are xuchaꞌ bꞌik ri Silas che rachiꞌl. Ri e kojonelabꞌ aꞌj chilaꞌ xeꞌkijach bꞌik pa uqꞌabꞌ ri Ajawxel rech kel ukꞌuꞌx chike.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
Xikꞌow pa ronojel Siria xuqujeꞌ Cilicia, xuꞌtaqchiꞌj kan konojel ri kojonelabꞌ rech kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
