Acts 15
1 In the meantime, some, who came down from Judea, taught the brethren, Except you be circumcised, according to the manner of Moses, you can not be saved.
Judah qam awhkawng thlang ak cawn law ing, “Mosi a cawngpyinaak amyihna chahhui am nami qeet awhtaw thaawngnaak am hu kawm uk ti,” anawh koeinaakhqi ce ana cawngpyi khqi uhy.
2 There being, therefore, a contention, and no small debate with them, on the part of Paul and Barnabas; they resolved that Paul and Barnabas, and some others of their number, should go up to the Apostles and elders at Jerusalem, about this question.
Ve a kawnglamawh Paul, Barnaba ingkaw cekkhqi ce ak tlona oelh qu uhy. Ve oelhqunaak ak camawh Jerusalem awh ak awm ceityihkhqi ingkaw ak hqaamcakhqi venna ak cet hamna Paul, Barnaba ingkaw aming lak awhkaw thlang chang thlang vang tloek ce tyk uhy.
3 They, therefore, being brought forward on their journey, by the congregation, went through Phenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they occasioned great joy to all the brethren.
Thlangboel ing cekkhqi ce thak khqi unawh, Phinicia qam ingkaw Samaria qam khuina ami ceh awh, Gentelkhqi ikawmyihna amik kaw ami thaw ti akawng ce kqawn pek khqi uhy. Cawhkaw awithang ing koeinaakhqi boeih ce zeel sak khqi hy.
4 And being arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the congregation, and by the Apostles and elders: and they related what things God had done with them.
Jerusalem khaw ami pha awh, cekkhqi ce thlangboel, ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ing ana do khqi uhy, cekkhqi hawnaak ing Khawsa ing them a saikhqi boeih ce kqawn pe uhy.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, rose up and said, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.
Cawh ak cangnaak thlang khuiawh Farasi benna ak awm thlang vang tloek ing dyi unawh, “Gentelkhqi ce chahhui qeet sak nawh, Mosi a anaa awi ce hquut aham cawngpyi ham awm hy,” ti uhy.
6 And the Apostles and elders were gathered together to consult upon this affair.
Cedawngawh cawhkaw awi kqawn aham Jerusalem khaw na ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ce cun uhy.
7 And after much debate, Peter rose up and said to them, Brethren, you know that, some considerable time since, God among us, chose, that the Gentiles, by my mouth, should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Awi amik kqawn coengawh Piter ce dyi nawh awi kqawn hy: “Koeinaakhqi, Gentelkhqi ing kai am kha awhkawng awithang leek ce za unawh amik cangnaak thai aham synawh Khawsa ing nangmih ak khuiawh kaw thlang vang ce tyk hy.
8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us:
Kawlung ak simkung Khawsa ing, ningnih a venawh ani peek khqi lawt amyihna, cekkhqi venawh Ciim Myihla a peeknaak ak caming cekkhqi ce do hawh hy tice dang sak hawh hy.
9 and made no distinction between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
Khawsa ing ningnih ingkaw a mingmih ce am pek am bo hy, cangnaak ak caming cekkhqi ak kawlung ce ciimcaih sak hawh hy.
10 Now, therefore, why do you tempt God by imposing on the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Cawhtaw ikaw ham ningnih ingkaw ni pakhqi ing zani ni naa tloei phyihqih ce hubatkhqi a hawng awh tloeng pe nawh Khawsa ce noek a dak aham naming cai uh?
11 But we believe that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.
Amni! Ningmih a Bawipa Jesu am qeennaak ak cam ing ni, a mingmih amyihna ningnih awm hul na ni awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.
12 And the whole multitude kept silence, and attended to Barnabas and Paul; relating what signs and wonders God had done among the heathen, by them.
Barnaba ingkaw Paul hawnaak ak caming Khawsa ing Gentelkhqi venawh kawpoek kyi hatnaak ik-oeih a saikhqi ce cekqawi ing anik kqawn awh thlang kqeng ing ngai uhy.
13 Then after they had done speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me.
Anik kqawn boeih coengawh, Jakob ing, “Koeinaakhqi ngai lah uh.
14 Simeon has been relating how God first looked down on the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name.
Khawsa ing ikawmyihna ak cyk awh amah aham Gentel thlangkhqi a lawhnaak akawng ce Simeon ing nik kqawn law pek khqi hawh hy.
15 And the words of the prophets harmonize with this; as it is written,
Ve ak awi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ak awi awm qoep hy:
16 "After this, I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; yes, I will rebuild its ruins, and set it upright again:
‘Vek coengawh hlat kawng nyng saw, David a imca ak tlu ce sa tlaih kawng nyng. Ak seekhqi ce sa tlaih kawng nyng saw, thawh tlaih kawng nyng.
17 that the remainder of men may seek the Lord, even all the heathen upon whom my name is called,
Thlak chang, kang ming ak phyi Gentelkhqi boeih ing Bawipa suinaak hamna ce im ce dyih tlaih kawng nyng,' ti ce.
Khawmdek syncyk awhkawng ve ak awi ak simsakkung Bawipa ing tihy,’ tinawh ana qee amyihna. (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore, my judgment is not to disquiet those who, from among the Gentiles, are converted to God;
Cedawngawh, Khawsa benna ak hlat Gentelkhqi ce kyinaak peek aham am awm hy, tinawh awi tlyk nyng.
20 but to write to them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from that which is strangled, and from blood.
Bulnaak sainaak buh a ankhqi ama ai aham, nupa amak thym na thawlh sainaakkhqi, a hawng awh ak khak mat mehkhqi ingkaw a thikhqi a mami ai aham ca mah pat u sih ti nyng.
21 For Moses has, from ancient generations, those who preach him, in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.
Ikawtih ak cykca awhkawng Mosi ing khaw boeih awh ak awi kqawnpyikung tyk khawi lawt nawh, Sabbath a hoei awh anih ak awi ce sinakawk awh noet poepa uhy,” tina hy.
22 Then it seemed good to the Apostles and elders, and all the congregation, to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, chosen men from among themselves, namely, Judas, surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, men of principal account among the brethren;
Cekcoengawh ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ing thlangboel ingkaw a mimah anglakawhkaw thlang vang ce tyk unawh Antiok khaw na Paul ingkaw Barnaba mi tyi haih uhy. Judas (Barnabas a mi tinaak) ingkaw Sila ce tyk uhy, cekqawi ce koeinaakhqi ak sawikung na awm hy nih.
23 writing by their hands these things: The Apostles, and elders, and brethren, to the brethren from among the Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, greeting:
Cekqawi a kut awh ak kai awhkaw amyihna ca pat pe uhy. Ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi, nangmih a koeinaakhqi ing, Antiok khaw ingkaw Siria qam ingkaw Kilikia qam awh ak awm cangnaak cakhqi venawh: Kut ni tlaih khqi unyng.
24 Forasmuch as we have been informed that, some going out from among us, to whom we gave no commission, have troubled you with discourses, unsettling your minds, saying, that you must be circumcised, and keep the law:
Kaimih a simpyinaak a awm kaana kaimih a venawh kawng thlang thlang vang nangmih a venawh law unawh nangmih ce kyinaak ni pek khqi uhy, cekkhqi ak awi awh naming ngaih kyi hy tinawh za unyng.
25 we, being unanimously assembled, have thought proper to send you chosen men, with out beloved Barnabas and Paul;
Cedawngawh thlang vang ce tyk unawh taw pyi qawi Paul ingkaw Barnaba mi nangmih a venna tyi haih u sih, tinawh ka ming ha tla boeih hy.
26 men that have exposed their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Cawhkaw thlangkhqi cetaw ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih ang ming awh ami hqingnaak amik pekhqi na awm uhy.
27 We have, therefore, sent Judas and Silas, who will also tell you by word of mouth, the same things.
Cedawngawh kaimih ing ka qee law ce awi ing caksak aham Juda ingkaw Sila ve tyi law unyng.
28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to impose no further burden upon you besides these necessary things;
Ak kai awhkaw ak ngoe ik-oeihkhqi doeng kaa taw ak chang phyihqih am ka mi phyih sak aham Ciim Myihla ingkaw kaimih ing nep hy ti unyng.
29 that you abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from anything strangled, and from fornication: from which you will do well to keep yourselves. Farewell.
Bulnaak sainaak buh a ankhqi, thikhqi, hawng khak mehkhqi koeh ai kawm uk ti, cekcoengawh amak ciim nupa thawlhnaak koeh sai kawm uk ti. Vemyihkhqi amna mi sai awhtaw nep bit kaw. Nami sa dip seh,” ti unawh pat uhy.
30 They, therefore, being dismissed, came to Antioch; and assembling the multitude, delivered the epistle.
Cekkhqi ce ami tyih coengawh Antiok khaw na ce cet uhy, cawh thlangboel ce pynoet na cet unawh ca ce pe uhy.
31 And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation it brought.
Ca ce ami noet awh cawhkaw thapeeknaak awi awh ce zeel uhy.
32 And Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves; in a copious discourse, exhorted and strengthened the brethren.
Juda ingkaw Sila awm, tawngha na ani awm a dawngawh, koeinaakhqi ce tha pe nih nawh awi kqawn pe hy nih.
33 And, having made some stay, they were dismissed with peace from the brethren to the Apostles.
Khawnghi iqyt nu cawh ani awm coengawh, koeinaakhqi ing cekqawi ce ngaihdingnaak awi ing cekqawi ak tyikungkhqi venna tyi tlaih uhy.
34 But Silas thought proper to continue there.
Cehlai Sila taw cawh ce awm aham cai hy.
35 Paul also, and Barnabas, with many others, continued at Antioch; teaching and declaring the good word of the Lord.
Paul ingkaw Barnaba ce Antiok khaw awh awm poe hy nih, Bawipa ak awi ce thlang khawzah a venawh cawngpyi nawh kqawn hy nih.
36 And, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return and visit the brethren in all the cities in which we have published the word of the Lord; and see how they do.
Khawnghi iqyt dy nu a dii coengawh Paul ing Barnaba na ce, “Bawipak awi nik kqawnnaak khaw a hoei awh cet nih nawhtaw koeinaakkhqi ce hqip tlaih lah sih, ikawmyihna nu ami awm hy voei? tina hy.
37 And Barnabas determined to take along with them John, surnamed Mark.
Barnaba ing Marka tinawh awm amik khy Johan ce ceh pyi aham ngaih hy,
38 But Peter did not think proper to take with them that person who had withdrawn himself from them from Pamphylia; and went not with them to the work.
cehlai anih ing cekqawi ce Pamphylia khaw awh cehta nawh bibinaak awh amak bawng poe thai a dawngawh Paul ingtaw anih ce ceh pyi aham am nep hy tinawh poek hy.
39 There was, therefore, a sharp fit of anger, so that they separated from each other; and Barnabas, taking Mark along with him, sailed to Cyprus.
Ce akawng awh ce oelh qu nih nawh kqeng hy nih. Barnaba ing Marka ce khyn nawh Kupra benna cet hy nih,
40 But Paul made choice of Silas, and departed; being commended to the grace of God, by the brethren.
cehlai Paul ingtaw Sila ce tyk nawh koeinaakhqi ing Bawipa am qeennaak awh ami peek coengawh cet lawt hy nih.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia confirming the congregations;
Siria ingkaw Kilikia qam benawh kawng cet nih nawh thlangboelkhqi ce thapeeknaak awi kqawn pe hy nih.
