< Acts 15 >
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the emissaries and elders about this question.

3 They, being sent on their way by the congregation, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the non-Jewish people. They caused great joy to all the brothers.

4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the congregation and the emissaries and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.

5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses."

6 The emissaries and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.

7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News, and believe.

8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them by giving the Ruach ha-Kodesh, just like he did to us.

9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the talmidim which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Yeshua, just as they are."
prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasyaanugrahe. na te yathaa vayamapi tathaa paritraa. na. m praaptum aa"saa. m kurmma. h|
12 And all the people kept quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

13 After they were silent, Jacob answered, "Brothers, listen to me.

14 Shim'on has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people for his name.

15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
bhavi. syadvaadibhiruktaani yaani vaakyaani tai. h saarddham etasyaikya. m bhavati yathaa likhitamaaste|
16 'After these things I will return; and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,

17 that the rest of humanity may seek after the Lord, and all the nations who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things

19 "Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the non-Jewish people who turn to God,
ataeva mama nivedanamida. m bhinnade"siiyalokaanaa. m madhye ye janaa ii"svara. m prati paraavarttanta te. saamupari anya. m kamapi bhaara. m na nyasya
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things defiled by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.

21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who proclaim him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

22 Then it seemed good to the emissaries and the elders, with the whole congregation, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judah called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.

23 They wrote these things by their hand: "The emissaries, the elders, and the brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.

24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no commandment;

25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
tatkaara. naad vayam ekamantra. naa. h santa. h sabhaayaa. m sthitvaa prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya naamanimitta. m m. rtyumukhagataabhyaamasmaaka. m
26 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

27 We have sent therefore Judah and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

28 For it seemed good to the Ruach ha-Kodesh, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
devataaprasaadabhak. sya. m raktabhak. sya. m galapii. danamaaritapraa. nibhak. sya. m vyabhicaarakarmma cemaani sarvvaa. ni yu. smaabhistyaajyaani; etatprayojaniiyaaj naavyatirekena yu. smaakam upari bhaaramanya. m na nyasitu. m pavitrasyaatmano. asmaaka nca ucitaj naanam abhavat|
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."

30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.

31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
tataste tatpatra. m pa. thitvaa saantvanaa. m praapya saanandaa abhavan|
32 Judah and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.

33 After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to those that had sent them forth.

34 However, Silas decided to remain there.

35 And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, with many others also.

36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing."

37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

38 But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.

39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,

40 but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.

41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the congregations.
