Acts 15
1 And there came down certain men from Judaea, and taught the brethren, Unless ye are circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot 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 But when Paul and Barnabas had had no small dissension and debate with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders 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, having been sent forward by the church, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the gentiles; and they caused 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 having come to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they related what great things God had wrought 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 there rose up certain believers of the sect of the Pharisees, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command 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 the elders came together to consider this matter.
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, ye know that a long time ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the gentiles should hear the word of the glad tidings, 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 knoweth the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, as he gave it 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 difference 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 ye provoke the anger of God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were 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 shall be saved through 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 all the multitude became silent, and listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they related what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the gentiles 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 And after they had done speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me.
Anik kqawn boeih coengawh, Jakob ing, “Koeinaakhqi ngai lah uh.
14 Simeon hath related how God first visited the gentiles, to take out of 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 with this agree the words of the Prophets, 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 hath fallen; and I will rebuild its ruins, and will set it up;
‘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 rest of men may seek after the Lord, and all the gentiles, who have been called by my name, saith the Lord, who doeth these things,
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, that we should not trouble those who from among the gentiles are turning to God;
Cedawngawh, Khawsa benna ak hlat Gentelkhqi ce kyinaak peek aham am awm hy, tinawh awi tlyk nyng.
20 but that we should write to them by letter to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from that which hath been 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 from the times of old hath had in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
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 was decided by the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among themselves, and send them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men 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 And they wrote by them, “The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from 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 Whereas we have heard, that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no command;
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 it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to choose men and send them to you, with our 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 who have hazarded 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 sent therefore Judas and Silas, who will themselves tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Cedawngawh kaimih ing ka qee law ce awi ing caksak aham Juda ingkaw Sila ve tyi law unyng.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to lay upon you no further burden except 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 to abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. 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 sent away came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
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 over the encouragement.
Ca ce ami noet awh cawhkaw thapeeknaak awi awh ce zeel uhy.
32 And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words and confirmed them.
Juda ingkaw Sila awm, tawngha na ani awm a dawngawh, koeinaakhqi ce tha pe nih nawh awi kqawn pe hy nih.
33 And when they had remained some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brethren to those who sent them.
Khawnghi iqyt nu cawh ani awm coengawh, koeinaakhqi ing cekqawi ce ngaihdingnaak awi ing cekqawi ak tyikungkhqi venna tyi tlaih uhy.
Cehlai Sila taw cawh ce awm aham cai hy.
35 But Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and publishing, with many others also, the glad tidings of the 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 some days after, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again and visit the brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are.
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 with them John, called Mark.
Barnaba ing Marka tinawh awm amik khy Johan ce ceh pyi aham ngaih hy,
38 But Paul did not think it proper to take with them a man who had left them in 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 And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted from each other, and Barnabas took Mark and 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 And Paul chose Silas and went forth, having been commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.
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 churches.
Siria ingkaw Kilikia qam benawh kawng cet nih nawh thlangboelkhqi ce thapeeknaak awi kqawn pe hy nih.
