Acts 15
1 [Then] some [Jewish] believers went down from Judea [province] to Antioch. They started teaching the [non-Jewish] believers [there, and said], “[You] ([must] be circumcised/must have God’s mark put on you) [to indicate you belong to God], as Moses [commanded] in the laws that [he received from God]. If you do not do that, you will not be saved {[God] will not save you}.”
YA manmato palo taotao sija guinin Judea, ya jafanagüe y mañelo ilegñija: Yaguin ti manmasirconsida jamyo taemano y costumbren Moises, ti siña jamyo mansatbo.
2 Paul and Barnabas strongly disagreed with those Jews and started arguing [with them. So the believers at Antioch] appointed Paul and Barnabas and some of the other believers to go to Jerusalem, in order that they would/could discuss this matter with the apostles and [other spiritual] leaders.
Ya anae megae na inaguaguat yan finaesen as Pablo yan Barnabé yan sija, y maneio jaayeg si Pablo yan si Barnabé, yan palo guiya sija, para ujafanjanao julo Jerusalem guiya apostoles yan manamco pot este na finaesen.
3 After Paul, Barnabas, and the others were given things for their trip by the congregation [at Antioch] {After the congregation [at Antioch] gave Paul, Barnabas, and the others things for their trip}, they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria [provinces. When they stopped at different places in those provinces], they reported [to the believers] that [many] non-Jews [in Antioch] had become believers. As a result, all the believers [in those places] rejoiced greatly.
Enao mina anae manmaesgaejon ni y iglesia gui jinanaoñija, manmalofan y inanaco Finesia, yan Samaria, ya masasangan claro y manmañotsot y Gentiles; ya ninafangosmagof y mañelo todos.
4 And when Paul, Barnabas, and the others arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the apostles, the [other] elders, and the [other members of the] congregation [there] {the apostles, the [other] elders, and the [other members of the] congregation [there] welcomed them}. Then Paul and Barnabas reported the things that God had enabled them to do [among non-Jewish people].
Ya anae manmato Jerusalem, manmaresibe gui iglesia yan y apostoles, yan y manamco; ya jadeclara todo y finatinas Yuus pot sija.
5 But some of the [Jewish] believers who belonged to the Pharisee sect stood up [among the other believers and] said to them, “The non-Jews [who have believed in Jesus] must be circumcised, and they must be told to obey the laws [that God gave to] Moses.”
Lao mangajulo güije palo sija y inetnon Fariseo ni y manmanjonggue, ya ilegnija: Nesesita ufanmasirconsida sija, yan ufanmatago ya ujaadaje y tinago Moises.
6 Then the apostles and [the other] elders met together in order to talk about this matter.
Ya mandaña y apostoles yan y manamco para ujajasuye este.
7 After they had discussed it for a long time, Peter stood up and spoke to them. He said, “Fellow believers, you [all] know that a long time ago God chose me from among you [other apostles, in order that] the non-Jewish people might [also] hear me [SYN] tell [them] the good message [about the Lord Jesus], so that they could hear [it] and believe [in him. So Paul and Barnabas are not the first ones to tell non-Jews about Jesus].
Ya anae esta megae na finaesen, cumajulo si Pedro ya ilegña nu sija: Mañelo lalaje, intingoja jafa na manayeg si Yuus guiya jamyo, apmam na tiempo, na y Gentiles ujajungog y sinangan y ibangelio pot y pachotjo, ya ujajonggue.
8 God knows [and judges] people according to what they think, [not according to who their ancestors were]. By sending the Holy Spirit to [the non-Jews], just like [he had] also done for us [(inc)] Jews, he showed [me and others] that he had accepted them [also to be his people].
Yan si Yuus, ni y tumungo y corason, janafantestigo sija, yan janae ni y Espiritu Santo, jaftaemanoja y jafatinas guiya jita;
9 [God] saved us [Jews] and those [non-Jews] similarly, making them clean spiritually simply as a result of their believing [in the Lord Jesus. That was exactly how he has forgiven us].
Ya taya japolo dinesparejo entre sija yan jita, janafangasgas y corasonñija ni y jinenggue.
10 [You are wanting to force the non-Jewish believers to obey our Jewish rituals and laws]—laws that God has shown that he does not require them to obey [MET]. [Your doing that is like] putting a heavy burden on them! So then, (stop making God angry by doing that!/why are you making God angry by doing that?) [RHQ] Our ancestors and we [(inc) Jews] have never been able to bear [the burden of obeying those laws]!
Ya jafa pago mina intietienta si Yuus, para inpelo y yugo gui agaga y disipulo sija, na ni y mañaenata ni jita tisiña jacatga?
11 But we [(inc) know that it is not because] we [(inc) try to obey those laws that God saves us(inc) Jews. On the contrary], we [(inc)] know that it is because of what the Lord Jesus did for us [(inc)] that we did not deserve that we [(inc)] are saved {that [God] saves us} [from the guilt of our sins. God saves non-Jews who believe in the Lord Jesus] exactly like [he saves] us Jews.”
Lao tajonggue na pot y grasian y Señot Jesus utafansatbo, taegüije iya sija.
12 All the people [there] became silent [after Peter had spoken]. Then they [all] listened to Barnabas and Paul, [as the two of] them told about the many great miracles that God had enabled them to do among the non-Jewish people, [miracles that showed that God had accepted the non-Jews].
Ayonae manmamatquilo todo y linajyan taotao, ya maatituye si Pablo yan Barnabé ni y jasasangan y señot sija yan y mannamanman jafatinas si Yuus gui entalo Gentiles pot sija.
13 When Barnabas and Paul had finished speaking, James, [the leader of the group of believers there in Jerusalem], spoke to all of them. [He said], “Fellow believers, listen to me.
Ya anae manmamatquilo, manope si Santiago ilegña: Mañelo lalaje, ecungogyo.
14 Simon [Peter] has told you how God previously blessed the non-Jews. God did that by choosing from among them a people who would belong to him [MTY].
Jasangan si Simeon jaftaemano si Yuus ni y jabisita finena y Gentiles, para ufangone guiya sija taotao para y naanña.
15 [These] words that [God spoke], words that were written by [one of] the prophets {that one of the prophets wrote} [long ago], agree with that:
Yan pot este na manparejo y sinangan y profeta sija, ni y esta manmatugue:
16 Later on I will return and I will re-establish the kingdom [MET] that David [ruled] and that has been {that [people] have} destroyed. My [doing that will be like] rebuilding [a house] that has been {that [people] have} torn down.
Anae esta munjayan estesija, jutalo mague, ya jujatsa y tabernaculon David, ni y podong; yan jujatsa talo y manmayulang güije, yan juplanta julo;
17 I will do that in order that all other people might seek [me], the Lord [God. I will do that in order that] all the non-Jews whom I have called [to belong] to me [MTY] might seek me. [You can be certain that this will happen because I] the Lord [God], who will do those things, have spoken [these words].
Para y manetenjan na taotao, ujaaligao yi Señot, yan todo y Gentiles ni y umafanaan y naanjo.
Ilegña y Señot ni y janamatungo estesija desde y tutujon y tano. (aiōn g165)
19 [James continued by saying], “Therefore I have decided [that we(inc)] should stop bothering the non-Jewish people who are turning [away from their sins and turning] to God. [That is, we should stop demanding that they obey] all [our laws] and rituals.
Enaomina y jinasoco taegüine, na mungajit umatborota ayo sija y manguinin y entalo y Gentiles, ya jabira sija para as Yuus.
20 Instead, we should write [a letter] to them [requiring only four things: They should] not eat [meat/food that people] have offered to idols, they should not have sex with someone to whom they are not married, they should not [eat meat from animals that have been killed by] being strangled {[people have strangled]}, and [they should not eat] the blood [of animals].
Lao utatuguie sija, ya ujafañuja gui pinetlilon y idolos, yan y inábale, yan y neñicot na gâgâ, yan y jâgâ.
21 In many cities, for a very long time people have been proclaiming [the laws that] Moses [wrote] [MTY], [laws prohibiting those things]. And every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [those laws] are read {someone reads [those laws]} in the Jewish meeting places. [So if the non-Jews want to know more about those laws, they can find out in our meeting houses].”
Sa si Moises gui manmalofan na generasion, guaja gui cada siuda para ufanpredica güe ya utaetae layña gui sinagoga cada sabado na jaane.
22 The apostles and the [other] elders, along with all the [other] members of the congregation, accepted [what James had said]. Then they decided that they should choose men from among themselves and that they should send them, along with Paul and Barnabas, to Antioch, to [let the believers there know what the leaders] at Jerusalem had decided. So they chose Judas, who was also called Barsabbas, and Silas, who were leaders among the believers [at Jerusalem].
Ayonae yañija y apostoles yan y manamco yan todo y iglesia, na umanafanjanao y manmaayeg na taotao gui inetnonñija para Antioquia para ufañija yan si Pablo yan Barnabé; y naanñija, si Judas y apiyiduña Barsabas, yan si Silas, manmagas na taotao sija gui entre y mañelo:
23 Then they wrote the following letter [that they asked Judas and Silas to take to the believers at Antioch]: “[We(exc)] apostles and [other] leaders who are your fellow believers [send our greetings to you as we write this to you] non-Jewish believers [who live] in Antioch and [other places in] Syria and Cilicia [provinces].
Ya manmangue carta pot sija, taegüine: Y apostoles yan manamco na mañelo, jasaluda y mañelo na Gentiles ni y mangaegue guiya Antioquia yan Siria yan Silisia:
24 People have told us that some men from among us went [to you], although we had not told [them to do that]. They troubled/distressed you [SYN] [by telling you things] that confused your thinking.
Sa injingog na palo ni y manjanao guinin iya jame, maninatborota jamyo ni y sinangan, janataelaye y antenmiyo; lao ti manmannae jam ni enao na tinago:
25 So [while we(exc) met together here], we decided to choose some men and ask them to go to you, along with Barnabas and Paul, whom we [(exc)] love very much.
Jinasonmame na mandañajam unoja, para innafanjanao y manmaayeg na taotao para jamyo, yan y güinaeyanmame as Pablo yan Barnabé,
26 Those two have put their lives in danger because of their [serving] our Lord [MTY] Jesus Christ.
Taotao sija na janapeligro y jaanenñija pot y naan y Señot Jesucristo.
27 We [(exc) have also chosen] Judas and Silas to go to you. They will tell you the same things [that we are writing].
Enaomina innajanao si Judas yan Silas, ni y infansinangane locue ni y pachotñija taegüineja.
28 The Holy Spirit and [also] we decided that you should not be required {that we should not require you} to obey a lot of burdensome [Jewish] laws. Instead, [we] only [require you to obey] the following instructions,
Sa y jinason y Espiritu Santo, yan jame, na munga mapolo gui jilomiyo mas dangculo na catga qui y manesesita.
29 You should not eat food that people have sacrificed to idols. You should not eat blood from animals, and you should not eat meat from animals that people have killed by strangling them. Also, you should not have sex with someone to whom you are not married. Those things [especially offend Jewish believers. So if] you avoid doing them, you will be doing what is right. That is all.”
Na infañuja gui nengcano ni y manmaofrese y idolos, yan y jâgâ, yan y neñicot na gâgâ, yan y inábale; ya yaguin inadaje jamyo estesija, infatinas mauleg. Adios jamyo todos.
30 The [four] men whom [they] had chosen went [from Jerusalem] to Antioch [city. When] all the believers [there] had assembled together, [Judas and Silas] gave the letter to them.
Ya anae manajanao, manmato Antioquia: ya janafandaña y linajyan taotao, maentrega y catta;
31 When the believers there read the letter, they rejoiced, [because its message] encouraged them.
Ni y anae munjayan mataetae, ninafansenmagof, pot y consuelo.
32 [Just like Paul and Barnabas were] ([prophets/men who spoke messages from God]), Judas and Silas were also prophets. They spoke for a long time and encouraged the believers [there], and helped them to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus].
Ya si Judas yan Silas manprofeta locue, ya japagat y mañelo ni y megae na sinangan, yan janafitme sija.
33 After [Judas and Silas] had stayed in Antioch for some time [and were ready to return to Jerusalem], the believers [there] wished them well, and the believers [prayed that God] would protect [them as they traveled. So the two men] started to go back to the leaders [in Jerusalem] who had asked them to go [to Antioch].
Ya mañaga güije didide na tiempo, despues manafanjanao en pas ni y mañelo, para y manmatago sija.
Lao si Silas ninamagof na ufañasagaja güije.
35 However, Paul and Barnabas continued to stay in Antioch. [While they were there], they, along with many others, were teaching [people] and preaching to them the message about the Lord [Jesus].
Si Pablo yan si Barnabé mañasaga gui Antioquia, na mamananagüe, yan manpredidica ni y sinangan y Señot; yan megae palo locue.
36 After some time Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s go back and visit the fellow believers in every city where we [previously] proclaimed the message about the Lord [Jesus. In that way, we will know] how [well] they are continuing [to believe in the Lord Jesus].”
Ya anae malofan palo jaane, ilegña si Pablo as Barnabé: Nije tajanao talo ya tabisita ya mañeluta gui cada siuda anae y guinin tapredica y sinangan y Señot, ya utalie jafa chechoñija.
37 Barnabas [agreed with Paul, and said that he] wanted to take John, whose other name was Mark, along with them [again].
Ya si Barnabé malago na ujacone gachongñija si Juan, ni y apiyiduña Marcos.
38 However, Paul [told Barnabas that he] thought that it would not be good to take Mark [with them, because] Mark had deserted them when they were previously in Pamphylia [region], and had not continued to work with them.
Lao y jinasoña si Pablo, na ti mauleg na ufañija, sa sumuja guiya sija desde Pamfilia, ya ti mandinalalag sija gui checho.
39 Paul and Barnabas strongly disagreed [with each other about that], so they separated. Barnabas took Mark [along with him and they got] on a ship and went to Cyprus.
Ya jumuyong dangculon minaguaguat, ya manadisapatta; ya si Barnabé jacone si Marcos, ya mangama gui batco para Chipre;
40 Paul chose Silas, [who had returned to Antioch, to work with him]. The believers [there] asked the Lord [God] to graciously help [Paul and Silas. Then] the two of them departed [from Antioch].
Ya si Pablo jayeg si Silas ya mapos, manmaencatga ni y mañelo ni y grasian Yuus.
41 Paul continued traveling [with Silas] through Syria and Cilicia [provinces]. In those places he was helping the congregations to trust strongly [in the Lord Jesus].
Ya jumanao todo inanco Siria yan Silisia, janafanfitme y inetnon mangilisyano sija.
