Acts 15
1 And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “If you are not circumcised after the custom of Moses, you are not able to be saved”;
Judea lamkah aka suntla hlangvang loh, “Moses kah khosing bangla yahvin na rhet pawt atah khang la na om thai mahpawh, “tila manuca rhoek te a thuituen uh.
2 there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and debate to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up to the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question;
Te dongah olpungnah om tih Paul, Barnabas neh amih laklo kah oelhtaihnah te a yool mai moenih. Te oldawtnah dongah Jerusalem kah caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek taengah Paul, Barnabas neh amih lamkah hlangtloe khat khat te caeh sak ham a mop uh.
3 they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brothers.
Hlangboel loh a thak uh tih Phoiniki neh Samaria ah a caeh uh vaengah namtom rhoek kah thovaelnah te a saep uh. Te vaengah manuca boeih tah omngaihnah muep a cuen pah.
4 And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders; they also declared as many things as God did with them;
Jerusalem a pha uh vaengah hlangboel, caeltueih neh a ham rhoek loh a doe uh tih, amih taengah Pathen loh a saii pah te a puen pa uh.
5 and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, “It is required to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the Law of Moses.”
Tedae Pharisee buhlaelh lamkah hlangvang aka pai rhoek long khaw a tangnah tih, “Namtom te yahvin rhet sak tih Moses kah olkhueng tuem sak ham uen a kuek,” a ti uh.
6 And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,
Te dongah hekah olka kawng ming hamla caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek tah tingtun uh.
7 and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said to them, “Men, brothers, you know that from former days God made choice among us, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;
Oelhtaihnah muep a om dongah Peter loh pai hang tih amih te, “Hlang rhoek manuca rhoek, 'Ka ka lamkah olthangthen ol he namtom a yaak sak tih a tangnah ham khosuen tue lamkah ni Pathen loh nangmih khuikah a tuek te, 'na hmat uh.
8 and the heart-knowing God bore them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
Mamih taengkah bangla amih taengah khaw lungming Pathen loh a phong pah tih Mueihla Cim a paek coeng.
9 and also put no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith;
Te dongah mamih neh amih laklo ah a boelhkhoeh moenih. Amih kah thinko he tangnah neh a ciim coeng.
10 now, therefore, why do you tempt God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
A pa rhoek long khaw, mamih long khaw phueih hamla aka coeng pawh hnamkun te hnukbang rhoek kah rhawn ah tloeng pah ham, balae tih Pathen ke na noemcai uh.
11 But through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.”
Khang la om ham he Boeipa Jesuh kah lungvatnah lamloh n'tangnah vanbangla amih long khaw a longim bangla om van,” a ti nah.
12 And all the multitude kept silence and were listening to Barnabas and Paul expounding as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;
Rhaengpuei boeih loh kam a khuem. Te vaengah amih rhoi lamloh namtom taengah Pathen loh miknoek neh khobae rhambae a saii pah te Barnabas neh Paul loh a thui rhoi tih a hnatun uh.
13 and after they were silent, James answered, saying, “Men, brothers, listen to me:
Amih rhoi te kam a khuem vaengah James loh a doo tih, “Ka manuca rhoek, ka hlang rhoek kai ol hnatun uh lah.
14 Simeon expounded how at first God looked on [us] to take a people out of [the] nations for His Name,
A ming ham tah namtom pilnam khuikah khaw loh hamla Pathen loh a hip lamhma te Simeon loh a thui coeng.
15 and to this the words of the Prophets agree, as it has been written:
A daek bangla tonghma rhoek kah ol nen khaw tekah te tluep coeng.
16 After these things I will return, And I will rebuild the dwelling place of David that has fallen down, And I will rebuild its ruins, And will set it upright—
Te phoeiah bal vetih David kah dap aka bung te koep ka sak ni. A palet tangtae te khaw koep ka sak vetih ka duel ni.
17 That the remnant of men may seek after the LORD, And all the nations on whom My Name has been called, Says the LORD, who is doing all these things.
Te daengah ni aka cul rhoek loh Boeipa kah hlang te a tlap vetih, amih te namtom boeih loh ka ming a phoei thil eh.
'Boeipa loh a saii he khosuen lamkah ni a. hmat coeng,’ a ti. (aiōn g165)
19 For this reason I judge: not to trouble those who turn back to God from the nations,
Te dongah Pathen taengla aka bal namtom rhoek te toeh pawt ham ni kai tah ka cai.
20 but to write to them to abstain from the defilements of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing, and the blood;
Tedae mueirhol kah a tihnai, Cukhalnah, rhawnkhak sa neh thii te rhael ham amih taengah ca ka pat.
21 for Moses has those preaching him from former generations in every city—being read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”
Moses cabu te khosuen rhuirhong lamkah khopuei takuem ah a thui uh. Te te tunim ah om tih Sabbath takuem ah a tae coeng,” a ti nah.
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas chosen men out of themselves—Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers—
Te vaengah caeltueih rhoek, patong rhoek neh hlangboel boeih loh, manuca rhoek khuiah hlang aka mawt Barasabbas la a khue Judas neh Silas te amih lamkah hlang la a tuek tih, Paul neh Barnabas taengah Antiok la tueih ham ol a tloek.
23 having written through their hand thus: “The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brothers, who [are] of the nations, greeting;
Amamih kut neh, “Caeltueih rhoek, patong rhoek neh manuca rhoek loh Antiok, Syria neh Kilikia tom kah manuca namtom rhoek te ka uem uh.
24 seeing we have heard that some having gone forth from us troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the Law, to whom we gave no charge,
Hlangvang tah mamih taeng lamkah nong coeng tila ka yaak uh. Nangmih kah hinglu aka toeh olka dongah na hinghuen uh. Amih te ol ka paek uh dae moenih.
25 it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, to send to you chosen men, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul—
Te dongah tun ka hui uh tih, “Nangmih taeng neh mamih kah thintlo Barnabas neh Paul taengah hlang tueih ham tuek sih,” a ti uh.
26 men who have given up their lives for the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ—
Amih tah Jesuh Khrih, mamih kah Boeipa ming ham a hinglu aka voei hlang rhoek ni.
27 we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they are telling the same things by word.
Te dongah Judas neh Silas te ka tueih uh. Ahmih rhoi khaw amah hmuen la olka neh ha puen rhoi.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no more burden on you, except these necessary things:
Te te kuek mai cakhaw thinrhih neh nangmih muep nan pawt ham, kaimih ham khaw Mueihla Cim neh ka poek uh.
29 to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; keeping yourselves from which, you will do well; be strong!”
Tedae mueirhol buh, thii, rhawnkhak neh Cukhalnah tah rhael mai. Te khui lamloh namamih na cue uh te hnothen ni na saii eh?, sading la ne, “tila a daek pah.
30 They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, delivered the letter,
Te dongah amih tah phih uh tih Antiok la suntla uh. Te phoeiah rhaengpuei te a coi tih capat te a paek uh.
31 and having read [it] they rejoiced for the consolation;
Thaphohnah te a tae uh vaengah omngaih uh.
32 Judas also and Silas, also being prophets themselves, through much discourse exhorted the brothers, and confirmed,
Judas neh Silas amamih rhoi khaw tonghma la bok a om rhoi dongah manuca rhoek te olka neh muep a hloep rhoi tih a thoh rhoi.
33 and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brothers to the apostles;
A tue a hnonah rhoi phoeiah ngaimong la phih uh tih manuca rhoek te amih aka tueih rhoek taengla baluh.
34 [[and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.]]
Tedae Paul neh Barnabas tah Antiok ah om rhoi pueng dongah,
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news—with many others also—the word of the LORD;
hlangtloe taengah khaw Boeipa kah olka te muep a thuituen tih a phong rhoi.
36 and after certain days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Having turned back again, we may look after our brothers, in every city in which we have preached the word of the LORD—how they are.”
Khohnin bet a di phoeiah Barnabas te Paul loh, “Bal sih lamtah Boeipa olka n'doek nah kho takuem kah manuca rhoek te metla a om uh khaw hip lah sih,” a ti nah.
37 And Barnabas resolved to take with [them] John called Mark,
Te vaengah Marku la a khue Johan te khaw Barnabas loh khuen la cai.
38 and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;
Tedae anih te Pamphylia lamloh amih rhoi te a nong tak coeng dongah anih te amih rhoi neh puei uh pawt tih bibi la khuen pawt ham te Paul loh a thuem sak.
39 there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, sailed to Cyprus,
Te dongah amih rhoi te umyanah om tih khat neh khat paek uh rhoi. Te dongah Barnabas tah Kupros la kat ham Marku te a khuen.
40 and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brothers;
Paul long khaw manuca rhoek loh Boeipa kah lungvatnah dongah a tloeng tangtae Silas te a khue tih cet van.
41 and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
Te phoeiah Syria neh Kilikia te a hil tih hlangboel rhoek te a thoh.
