< Acts 15 >
1 And, certain persons, coming down from Judea, began to teach the brethren—Except ye be circumcised according to the custom 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 And, when Paul and Barnabas had had no little dissension and discussion with them, it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas and certain others from among them should go up unto the Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem concerning 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 set forward by the Assembly, began passing through Phoenicia and Samaria, fully relating the conversion of them of the nations, and were causing great joy unto 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 And, having arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the Assembly and the Apostles and the Elders; and they recounted all things God had done with 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 there [had] stood forth some of those who, from the sect of Pharisees, had believed, saying—It is needful to be circumcising them, also to charge them to be keeping 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 And the Apostles and Elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Kamwah nyia mihak phokhoh loong ah erah tiit ah phanwaan suh lomtong rumta.
7 And, when much discussion had arisen, Peter standing up, said unto them—Brethren! Ye yourselves, well know that, in days long past, amongst you, God chose that, through my mouth, the nations should hear the word of the glad tidings, 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, the heart-observing God, bare witness, —unto them, giving the Holy Spirit, just as, even unto 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 distinction at all betwixt us and them, by their faith, purifying their hearts.
Rangte ih seng loong asuh phoosiit siit li hali; neng loong ah ih hanpi ih kano neng rangdah uh biin anaan eha.
10 Now, therefore, why are ye proving God, that ye should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which, neither our fathers, nor we, have been 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, through the favour of the Lord Jesus, we believe we shall be saved, in like manner as, even they.
Emah tah angka! Teesu Jisu minchan ih seng puipang ih tahe ah likhiik neng uh hanpi ih rum kano puipang ih rumha.”
12 And all the throng held their peace, and began to hearken unto Barnabas and Paul relating how many signs and wonders God had done among the nations, through 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 And, after they held their peace, James answered, saying—Brethren! hearken unto me.
Pool nyia Barnabaas ah thoonjeng nyu kano, Jeems we jengta: “Nga phono loong chaat thaak he!
14 Symeon, hath fully told how God, first visited, to take out of the nations, 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, with this, agree the words of the prophets, according as it is written—
Khowah loong ih baatta jengkhaap ah pun ela, Rangteele ni liiha,
16 After these things, will I return, and will rebuild the tent of David that hath fallen, and, the ruins thereof, will I rebuild, and will set it up 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 residues of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name hath been called, saith the Lord that doeth these things,
Eno loongtang mina nga taangnah thok ha, Ranglajatte loongtang nga noksong raangtaan ih poonhang loong ra ah.
18 Known from age-past times. (aiōn )
Arah jengkhaap ah Teesu ih, ehakdi dook jatthukta.’ (aiōn )
19 Wherefore, I, judge, not to be troubling them who, from the nations, are turning unto 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 to write unto them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, 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, out of ancient generation, hath, in every city, them who proclaim him; seeing, that in the synagogues, every sabbath, he is read.
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, seemed it good unto the Apostles and the Elders with the whole Assembly to send chosen men from among them unto Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, —even Judas who is called Barsabbas, and Silas, men taking a lead 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 through their hand—The Apostles and the Elder Brethren, unto the brethren throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, who are from among the nations, wish joy!
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 Inasmuch as we had heard that, certain from among us, had troubled you with words, dismantling your souls, —unto whom we had given no instructions,
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 seemed good unto us, coming to be of one accord, that we should choose men and send them unto you, 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 given up their lives in behalf of 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, who also, themselves, by word of mouth, can 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 unto the Holy Spirit and unto us, no greater burden, to be laying upon you, than these necessary things: —
Arah banlam tiit khotok doh sen laphaangphak theng ngeh ih Esa Chiiala nyia seng loong ah ih tiit thiin hi:
29 To be abstaining from idol sacrifices, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication, —From which, if ye keep yourselves, ye shall prosper. Fare ye well.
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, therefore, being let go, came down unto Antioch; and, having gathered together the throng, 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 read it, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Mina loong ah ih le ah weh rum ano, chaankot jengkhaap asuh rapne ih roon rumta.
32 And, both Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, with much discourse, consoled and confirmed the brethren.
Judas nyia Silas, nengnyi uh khowah angta, nengnyi miloong ah damdi rekamdook ih chaankot jengkhaap jeng koh nyuuta.
33 And, when they had spent a time, they were let go, in peace, from the brethren, unto them who had sent them.
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.
Enoothong Silas ah erah ni tangtong suh liita.
35 But, Paul and Barnabas, tarried in Antioch, teaching and telling the joyful tidings, —along with many others also, —of 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 And, after certain days, Paul, said unto Barnabas—Let us now return, and visit the brethren in every city in which we have declared the word of the Lord, and see how they are.
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 And, Barnabas, was minded to take with them John also, called Mark;
Eno Barnabaas ih Joon Maak ah nengnyi damdi waksiit thung,
38 but Paul deemed it right, as to him who had withdrawn from them, back from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them unto the work, not to be taking with them, this, man.
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 And there arose an angry feeling, so that they separated one from the other: and, Barnabas, taking Mark, sailed away unto Cyprus, —
Nengnyi rapne daanmui nyu ano pheesoon nyuuta: Barnabaas ah Maak ah siit ano Sipras ko juulam ih daansoonta,
40 whereas, Paul, choosing Silas, went forth, committed unto the favour of the Lord by the brethren,
Pool ih Silas ah siit ano kata, hanpiite loong ah ih nengnyi ah phoongpha rum ano Teesu lak ni look haatkoh rumta.
41 and proceeded to pass through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
Pool ah Siria nyia Silisia lam ih kah ano chaas rookweh ni chaan tum kota.
