Acts 15
1 Then came downe certaine from Iudea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the maner of Moses, ye cannot be saued.
Khyang avange cun Judah khaw üngka naw Antioka law u lü, “Mosia thuma mäiha nami vun am nami mawih üng küikyannak am nami yah khai” tia, jumeikie ami jah mthei.
2 And when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordeyned that Paul and Barnabas, and certaine other of them, should goe vp to Hierusalem vnto the Apostles and Elders about this question.
Acune am Pawluh ja Banabah cun aktäa ngcuh u se, Pawluh ja Banabah cun angsä avange am, acuna ngthua phäha, Jerusalema vekiea Ngsäe ja sangcim ngvaiea veia hang cit khaiea ami mkhyäp.
3 Thus being brought forth by ye Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conuersion of the Gentiles, and they brought great ioy vnto all the brethren.
Sangcime naw jah tha u se, ani naw khyangmjükcee ami nghlat law bea mawng cun Phonisia ja Samarih avan üng cit hü ni lü ani pyena kyase, jumeikie naküt ani jah jesak.
4 And when they were come to Hierusalem, they were receiued of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by them.
Jerusalem ani jäng pha üng, sangcime, Ngsäe ja, sangcim ngvaie naw jah na je na u se, Pamhnam naw a jah summangei naküt ani jah mtheh.
5 But said they, certaine of the sect of the Pharises, which did beleeue, rose vp, saying, that it was needefull to circumcise them, and to commaund them to keepe the lawe of Moses.
Acunsepi, Pharisee üngka, jumeiki avange tho law u lü, “Khyangmjükcee naw ami vun ami mawi vaia kyaki, Mosia thum pi ami läk vaia jah mtheh vai” ami ti.
6 Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to this matter.
Ngsäe ja sangcim ngvaie cun, acuna ngthu ngai khaiea ngcunkie.
7 And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue.
Ami ngcuh käna Pita naw ngdüi law lü, “Benae aw, khyangmjükcee naw, keia üngkhyüha thangkdaw ngja u lü, jumei khaiea ajana Pamhnam naw nangmi üngkhyüh ana mcawn tia nami ksingki.
8 And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs.
Acunüng, mlung ksingkia Pamhnam naw mimi a jah peta mäiha, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim cun khyangmjükceea veia pi jah peki.
9 And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes.
Mimi ja amimi, mi hngalangnak am ve, jumeikiea kyase ami mkhyekatnak jah mhlätki.
10 Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?
Acunakyase, mimi ja mi pupae naw pi am ami kpüieia phüi cun ivaia jumeikie am jah phüi hlüsak u lü, Pamhnam nami mhnüteiki ni?
11 But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.
Mimi cun pi amimia mäiha mi jum u lü, Bawi Jesuha bäkhäknak am küikyannak mi yahki” tia a pyen.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
Khyange cun Banabah ja Pawluh naw, Pamhnam naw jah summangei se, khyangmjükceea veia müncamnak ja cäicatnake ani bilawha mawng, ani jah mtheh üng käh khikhe u lü, ngaikie.
13 And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me.
Cunüng ani pyen law päng ja Jakuk naw pi pyen hnga lü, “Benae aw, ka pyen na ngai ua,
14 Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name.
Pamhnam naw akcüka khyangmjükcee üngka, avange a phäha jah xü lü amimi jah bükteng khaia a lawa mawng cun, Sihmon naw ana pyen pänga kyaki.
15 And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, as it is written,
Acuna ngthu cun sahmaea ngthu am tängki.
16 After this I will returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp,
Cangcim üng: ‘Acun käna nghlat be lü, Davita khaw ka pyang be khai, apyehnak naküt pi ka mdüi be khai;
17 That the residue of men might seeke after the Lord, and all the Gentiles vpon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things.
Khyang akcee ja khyangmjükcee, ka ngming am ka jah khüe naküt pi ka veia law khaie.
Khawmdeka ngtüi üng tün lü, hina ngthu jah mthehkia Bawipa naw ti ve’ tia pyenki. (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God,
Acunakyase, khyangmjükcee üng, Pamhnama veia nghlat lawki he cun käh jah khuimkha u lü,
20 But that we send vnto them, that they abstaine themselues from filthinesse of idoles, and fornication, and that that is strangled, and from blood.
juktuh üng pet, käh ngcimki eiawk, hüipawmnak, khisa käh sawi u lü hnim ja thi käh ami ei vaia, ami veia ca jah kbi üng daw khai tia ngai veng.
21 For Moses of olde time hath in euery citie them that preache him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues euery Sabbath day.
Mosia thum cun sinakoka sabbath naküt üng khe khawia kya lü, mlüh naküt üng acuna ngthu cun sang päng kyaki” a ti.
22 Then it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to sende chosen men of their owne companie to Antiochia with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Iudas whose surname was Barsabas and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren,
Ngsäe, angvaie ja sangcime naküt naw, mimi üngka khyang xü u lü, Pawluh ja Banabaha veia Antioka tüih üng daw khai ami ti; ami jah xüe cun ami jah leisawnga kyaki. Ami ngming cun, Judah ami ti Barsaba ja, Tilah a kyaki. Acun xawi cun jumeikie üng angvai xawia kyaki.
23 And wrote letters by them after this maner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, vnto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antiochia, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting.
Hikba ani xawi üng ca ami ja kbi cun, “Ngsäe ja benae üng sangcim ngvaie naw, Antiok, Siria khaw ja, Kilikih khawa vekiea khyangmjükcee, ning jah hnukset ve u.
24 Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certaine which went out from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, and cumbred your mindes, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keepe the Lawe: to whom we gaue no such commandement,
Khyang avange naw, keimi naw am kami jah mtheha, keimi üngka naw law u lü, ‘Nangmi, nami vun nami mawi vai, thum nami läk vai’ tia, nami mlung ning jah bawngbaisakie tia ngja u lü,
25 It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul,
mi Bawi Jesuha ngminga phäha Banabah ja Pawluh cun naw xünnak am mcehnaki xawi,
26 Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ.
kami ja mhlänaka Banabah ja Pawluh, Bawipa Jesuh Khritawa phäh ami sak käh mceh naki xawi, atänga ja xü u lü, nami veia kami jah tüih law vaia kami jah tak,
27 We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth.
ahina mawngma ning jah mtheh law khai xawia, Judah ja Tilah cun nami veia kami ja tüih law.
28 For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things,
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ja keimi naw atänga, yühkia phüi cun nami khana mtai üng am daw khaia ngai ve üng,
29 That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well.
juktuh peta eiawk, khisaa thi, kbüh lü hnima sa käh jah ei u lü hüipawmnak jah cehta ua; ahina ngkhaw nami jah cehtak üng ta nami phäha daw khai ni. Mya u lü ve u” tia ami yuk.
30 Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle.
Acukba ami jah tüih cun cit ni lü, Antiok phaki xawi; acunüng, khyange jah khü ni lü, ca cun ani jah pet.
31 And when they had read it, they reioyced for the consolation.
Ami khe law päng ja, ami ja mcäinaka ngthua phäha aktäa jekie.
32 And Iudas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many wordes, and strengthened them.
Judah ja Tilah cun sahmaa pi kyaki xawia kya lü, ngthu khawha am, benae jah mcäi ni lü, khawvei ktha ani jah pet.
33 And after they had taried there a space, they were let goe in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
Acua khawvei ani ve käna, jah tüih lawki hea veia nghlat be khai xawia, benae naw dim’yenak am ami jah tüih be.
34 Notwithstanding Silas thought good to abide there still.
Acunsepi, Tilah cun amät ve hütki.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antiochia, teaching and preaching with many other, the worde of the Lord.
Pawluh ja Banabah cun Antiok khyang khawhah am ve yüm lü, Bawipa ngthu jah mtheimthang ni lü atänga veki xawi.
36 But after certaine dayes, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs returne, and visite our brethren in euery citie, where we haue preached the worde of the Lord, and see how they doe.
Khawveica angsawk law käna, Pawluh naw Banabaha veia, “Tuhkbäih ni cit be lü, Bawipa ngthu ni sangnaka khaw naküta bena vekie veia cit hü lü ami vecawh ni jah bükteng hü vai” a ti.
37 And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.
Banabah naw, Johan Makuh ami ti cun ani veia cehpüi vaia a täng,
38 But Paul thought it not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke.
Pampulih khaw üngka naw ja hawih hüt lü, khüibi bi khaia ani hlawnga am cit hngakia kyase, Pawluh naw ta Makuh ani hlawng cehpüi vaia am jum.
39 Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.
Acunakyase, aktäa ngcuhki xawi, ngtai law ni lü, Banabah naw Makuh cun a hlawnga cehpüi lü, Kuparuha mlawng am citki xawi.
40 And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God.
Pawluh naw Tilah a xü; acunüng, jumeikie naw Bawipa bäkhäknak ami mcei vai ja ngthu ami jah pet.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, stablishing the Churches.
Sangcime jah khäng hüsak lü Siria ja Kilikih khaw avan üng cit hüki.
