Acts 15
1 AND certain persons coming down from Judea taught the brethren, That if ye are not circumcised according to the ordinances of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Mararah mina loong ah Judia nawa Entiok ni wang rum haano hanpiite loong asuh phang nyootsoot rumta, “Moses Hootthe jun ih khoopkhan banlam lahoon kanbah sen ih khopiiroidong ah tachoh kan.”
2 There being therefore no small contention and dispute maintained by Paul and Barnabas against them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of their body, should go up to the apostles and presbyters at Jerusalem, for the decision of this question.
Erah jengkhaap ah thoidi Pool nyia Barnabaas ah neng damdi rapne ih daanmui nyuuta, erah raangtaan Entiok nawa wasiitnyi Pool nyia Barnabaas damdoh Jerusalem nah wakkah ano kamwah nyia mihak phokhoh loong asuh erah tiit ah chengkaat theng ngeh ih roongwaan rumta.
3 They therefore being sent on their way by the church, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, giving a particular narrative of the conversion of the Gentiles: and they gave great joy to all the brethren.
Erah thoidi neng loong ah chaaste ih wangthuk rumta; eno Phoenesia nyia Samaria lam ih kah rum adi, Ranglajatte loong ah Rangte mendi mamah lek rumta tiit ah banbaat rumta; erah chaat rum ano hanpiite loong ah rapne ih roon rumta.
4 Then when they arrived at Jerusalem, they were cordially received by the church, and the apostles and presbyters, and they related how great things God had done by them.
Jerusalem ni thokrum kano, kamwah loong, chaas nawa te nyia mihak phokhoh loong ih rapniine ih bantho rumta, neng suh Rangte ih mamah ih maak rumta erah tiit ah baat ih rumta.
5 But up rose some of the pharisaical sect, who professed the faith, insisting, That it was necessary to circumcise them, and to enjoin them to observe the law of Moses.
Enoothong mararah hanpiite Pharisis nawa angta loong ah toonchap rum ano jeng rumta, “Ranglajatte loong ah ih khoopkhan banlam ah hoon jaatjaat etheng eno Moses Hootthe kap ah baat etheng.”
6 Then the apostles and presbyters were assembled to consider of this matter.
Kamwah nyia mihak phokhoh loong ah erah tiit ah phanwaan suh lomtong rumta.
7 When after much dispute, Peter arose, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know that a considerable time ago God chose among us, by my mouth, that the Gentiles should hear the gospel-word, and believe.
Rekam daanmui rum ah lilih Pitar ah toonchap ano jengta, “Phoh ano loong, sen ih jat ehan, ngah jaakhoh di Rangte ih Ranglajatte suh Ruurang Ese tiit baat suh danje tahang, timnge liidi neng ih erah japchaat ano toom hanpi rum ah ngeh ah.
8 And God, who is the discerner of the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as to us;
Eno mirep thung atak jatte Rangte ih, seng suh kohali ah likhiik Esa Chiiala ah koh rum ano heh ih Ranglajatte loong ah uh kap etheng ngeh ih noisok ha.
9 and made no difference betwixt either us or them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Rangte ih seng loong asuh phoosiit siit li hali; neng loong ah ih hanpi ih kano neng rangdah uh biin anaan eha.
10 Why then now tempt ye God, by imposing a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Emah ang abah, sengte sengwah ih lajen huika nyia seng ih lajen huike huijih ah neng tam ni toonhui thuk eno, Rangte ah tiim esuh thaak phate hi?
11 But we believe that we shall be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the same way as they.
Emah tah angka! Teesu Jisu minchan ih seng puipang ih tahe ah likhiik neng uh hanpi ih rum kano puipang ih rumha.”
12 Then the whole multitude kept silence, and listened to Barnabas and Paul, relating how great signs and miracles God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Pool nyia Barnabaas ah Rangte ih Ranglajatte damdi mih paatjaajih mamah ih re thuk nyuuta, erah baatnyu kano mih loong ah tikpakpak ih tong rumta.
13 Now when they ceased speaking, James replied, saying, Men and brethren, hear me:
Pool nyia Barnabaas ah thoonjeng nyu kano, Jeems we jengta: “Nga phono loong chaat thaak he!
14 Simon hath fully related, how at first God graciously looked upon the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name.
Jaakhoh di Rangte ih Ranglajatte dung dowa heh mih raangtaan ih poon ano neng mamah ih riikoi sokboita erah ah Simoon ih baat ih tahan.
15 And in accord with this are the words of the prophets; as it is written,
Khowah loong ih baatta jengkhaap ah pun ela, Rangteele ni liiha,
16 “After this will I return, and build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen; and re-edify what hath been dug up from the foundation, and will set it upright again:
‘Teesu jengta, arah lidoh Ngah ngaak hangno, Dewid hasong ah ngaak seesiit ih raahang. Thet eta ah rongtangtang ih we seesiit angno ese we angthuk ang.
17 that the residue of men may diligently seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles, among whom my name is invoked, even among them, saith the Lord, who doth all these things.”
Eno loongtang mina nga taangnah thok ha, Ranglajatte loongtang nga noksong raangtaan ih poonhang loong ra ah.
Arah jengkhaap ah Teesu ih, ehakdi dook jatthukta.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore I am decided, that we give no unnecessary disquietude to those who from the heathen have turned to God:
“Nga thung ni bah amah,” ngeh ih li ano Jeems ah jangjeng kata, “Marah Rangte reeni thok hala Ranglajatte loong ah seng ih laphaang phaktheng.
20 but that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idol sacrifices, and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
Erah nang ebah, khojoop phaksat nyia esot loong ah laphaksat theng ngeh ih le thong raangmaat ih; adoleh mih damdoh roomjup roomtong lah ang theng, khoisat luiamaan nyia hesipan laphak theng ngeh ah.
21 For Moses for ages past in every city hath those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath-day.
Tiimnge liidi, Moses Hootthe ah Jehudi rangsoomnok ni naangtongsa rookwet jaakhoh dowa ih weh koha, enooleh noongrep ni samnuh ko ih tumbaat rumha.”
22 Then it was determined by the apostles and presbyters with the whole church, to send select men from themselves unto Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren;
Eno kaamwah loong nyia chaas phokhoh loongtang roongwaan rum ano, neng dung dowa mina danje rumta eno Pool nyia Barnabaas damdi Entiok ni wakkaat thuk rumta. Hanpiite loong ih rapne ih choomjoh arah mina wanyi danje rumta, Judas Barsabbas ngeh ih men rumta nyia Silas ah;
23 writing a letter by their hand, in these words: The apostles and presbyters and the brethren, to the brethren from among the Gentiles which are at Antioch, and in Syria, and Cilicia, greeting:
eno neng ih arah le ah raangmaat rumta: “Senphoh senno seng loong ah, kaamwah nyia mihak phokhoh loong ah ih, Entiok, Sairia nyia Silisika dowa Ranglajatte phoh ano loong suh jengkhaapse ra hi.
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain persons who went out from us have disturbed you with discourses, unsettling your minds, insisting, that you should be circumcised, and observe the law: to whom we gave no such charge:
Sengdung nawa ra taha loong ah ih sen loong ah neng jengkhaap nawa ih phaangphak ra halan ngeh ih chaat ehi; neng suh, seng ih, renbaat muh.
25 it hath seemed fit to us, assembled unanimously, to send unto you select men with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Eno khoontong eno kongphaak kotte sen reenah kaat thuk suh kheemui li. Seng moongnook joonte Barnabaas nyia Pool damdoh wakra rumha,
26 men who have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
neng loong ah ih Teesu Jisu Kristo raangtaan ih ba seng roidong ah mamah ang abah uh toomang ah ngeh ih jaan jen chaang rumha.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, and they by word of mouth will tell you the same things.
Erah raangtaan ih Judas nyia Silas kaat thuk hali, seng ih tiimjih raang hi nengnyi tui ih uh erah ah baat ehan.
28 For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay upon you no other burden except these things which are of absolute necessity;
Arah banlam tiit khotok doh sen laphaangphak theng ngeh ih Esa Chiiala nyia seng loong ah ih tiit thiin hi:
29 that ye abstain from eating whatever is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from whoredom: from which things carefully preserving yourselves, ye shall do well. Farewell.
Khojoop phaksat laphaksat theng; hesih laphak theng; khoisat luiamaan laphak theng; eno mih damdoh roomjup roomtong laje theng. Ethih ekhah lare kanbah senmoot senkaat jirep ah ese ang ah. Eno sen suh jengseera hi.”
30 They then being thus dispatched, came to Antioch: and assembling the multitude, they delivered the letter:
Kongphaak kotte ah Entiok ni wang thuk rumta, eno miloong thutpoon rum ano hanpiite loong asuh le ah chokoh ih rumta.
31 and when they had read it, they rejoiced in the consolation of it.
Mina loong ah ih le ah weh rum ano, chaankot jengkhaap asuh rapne ih roon rumta.
32 Then Judas and Silas, being also themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren, in many a discourse, and established them.
Judas nyia Silas, nengnyi uh khowah angta, nengnyi miloong ah damdi rekamdook ih chaankot jengkhaap jeng koh nyuuta.
33 And having stayed their time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren to the apostles.
Erah ni cheesah tongnyu adi, miloong ah ih romseetam jengkhaap ah jeng koh rum ano o ih kaat thuk nyuuta erah loong ah reeni ngaak wang thuk rumta.
34 However Silas thought proper to abide there.
Enoothong Silas ah erah ni tangtong suh liita.
35 Paul also and Barnabas abode at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others also, the word of the Lord.
Pool nyia Barnabaas Entiok ni cheesah tongthiin nyuuta, nengnyi damdi wahoh loong ah nep ih Rangte Jengkhaap nyootsoot thiin rumta.
36 Then after certain days said Paul to Barnabas, Let us now return and visit our brethren in every city among whom we have preached the word of the Lord, that we may see how they hold on.
Rekam tongnyu ano Pool ih Barnabaas suh liita; “Sek ih Teesu tiit nyootsootti tih hanpiite loong ah samnuh harep nah ngaak kah tiino sokkah thaak tih mamah ih tongtha rumla.”
37 Now Barnabas had resolved to take with him John, whose surname is Mark.
Eno Barnabaas ih Joon Maak ah nengnyi damdi waksiit thung,
38 But Paul did not think him a fit person to take with them, who had withdrawn from them from Pamphylia, and no longer went with them to the service.
Pool langkoleh heh waksiit ah tapunka ngeh ih thunta, timnge liidoh, Joon Maak ah nengnyi damdi thoon moot kaatmuh, heh Pamphilia nawa ngaak soonta.
39 So there grew up a sudden quarrel, insomuch that they separated from each other: and Barnabas, taking Mark with him, sailed away to Cyprus:
Nengnyi rapne daanmui nyu ano pheesoon nyuuta: Barnabaas ah Maak ah siit ano Sipras ko juulam ih daansoonta,
40 but Paul selecting Silas, departed, being commended by the brethren to the favour of God.
Pool ih Silas ah siit ano kata, hanpiite loong ah ih nengnyi ah phoongpha rum ano Teesu lak ni look haatkoh rumta.
41 And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
Pool ah Siria nyia Silisia lam ih kah ano chaas rookweh ni chaan tum kota.
