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}.”
Hagi mago'a vahe'mo'za Judia kazigati e'za Antioku ehanati'za amanage hu'za zamentinti nehu'za amage' nentaza nagara rempi huzami'naze. Mosese hu'nea kere amage' antetma tamavufa taga hiho. Anama osanutma Anumzamo'a tamahokeno tamaza osugahie.
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.
Poli'ene Banabasi kema ke hakare ana vahe'enema hugantigama hutageno, mono vahe zagamo'za Poline Banabasine amu'no zamifinti mago'a vahe'mo'zane kehakare hu'nazaza eri fatgo hunaku mago'a, aposol naga'ene mono kva vahe'ene (eldas) mago zamarimpa osu'naza keaga huza eri fatgo hunaku Jerusalemi vu'naze.
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.
Ana hige'za mono naga'mo'za, huzamantege'za, Fonesiane Sameria ufare'za agatere'za maka megi'a vahe'tamimo'za zamagu'a rukarehe hu'naza kea mono vahe'zaga zamasmige'za tusi'za hu'za muse hu'naze.
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].
Zamagrama Jerusalemi uhanatizage'za, mono vahe'mo'zane, mago'a aposol naga'ene mono kva vahe'mo'za (eldas) muse hu'za zamavrage'za, maka'zama Anumzamo'ma zamagrite'ma hu'neazana huama hu'za zamasmi'naze.
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.”
Hu'neanagi mago'a Farisi mono vahepinti, zamagua rukarehe hu'za Kraisinte zamentinti hu'namo'za, oti'za anage hu'naze, megi'a vahe'mo'za zamufama taga hute'za Mosesi kasegema amage antesazana knare hugahie.
6 Then the apostles and [the other] elders met together in order to talk about this matter.
Aposol naga'ene mono kva (eldas) vahe'mo'za atru hu'za ana naneke erifatgo hu'naze.
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].
Eri atru hu'za zazate kea refako hu'za antahizageno, Pita otino ana nanekemofo nona'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Nenfutma, tamagra antahi'naze mago'a kna evigeno, Anumzamo'a nagri huhamprinanteno, megi'a vahepi mono kea huo huno hunantege'na, hugeno knare musen ke antahi'za zamentinti hu'naze.
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].
Higeno Anumzamo vahe'mofo agu'a keno antahino hu'nemo'a, zamagritera eriama huno Ruotge Avamura zami'ne, na'ankure tagri'ma hu'neazana huno zami'ne.
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].
Hankino tagrira Anumzamo'a ruzana huranteno, zamagrira ruzana huozmante'ne, zamentinti nehazageno zamagu'a zamazeri agru hu'ne.
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]!
Hagi menina nahigetma Anumzamofona rimpa he'zana nehutma, bulimakaomofo zamanankempi anaki nezmantaza kna knanentake agare namare zafa (Yoke) Jisasi amage nentaza disaipol nagapina nentaze. Tagri nerageho'ene, tagranena eriga osu'nonankna knazana zaminaku nehazo?
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.”
Hu'neanagi tagrama tamentintima nehunana, Ramofo Jisasi asunku'zamo kefo zantifinti tahoke heno zamagri hu'nea kante anteno taza hu'ne.
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].
Atru hu'naza maka vahetamimo'za, ke osu mani'nage'za, Polike Banabasikea kaguva'zane avame'zanema zanagripinti Anumzamo'ma megi'a vahe'ma huzmante'nea zana zamasmi'na'e.
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.
Ana nanekema huvagamaretageno, Jemisi'a anage huno kenona hu'ne, Nafuhetma ke'ni'a antahiho,
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].
Saimoni'a anage huno huama hu'ne, Anumzamo'a megi'a vahera zamare'na Nagra'ni'a vahere hu'na huhampri zamantegahue hu'ne.
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:
Kasnampa vahe'mo'za krente'naza kemo'a, ama kenena mago kna hu'ne,
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.
Anama hutesu'na, ete Nagra e'na Deviti noma karite'neana etena eme kigahue. Nagra'ni'a havizama hu'nea nona eriso'e hugahue.
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].
Ana nehanena miko vahe'mo'za, Ramo'nagu nehakesagena, zamagima hesuana, mika megi'a vahera Nagri vahere hu'na zamagrikura hugahue, huno mika'zama tro'ma hu'nea Ramo'a hu'ne, (Emo 9:11-12)
Hagi Korapa'ma evu'nea knafina amazana antahino keno Anumzamo'a hu'neane. (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.
E'ina hu'negu, huvagare nanekea nagra (Jemisi'na) amanage nehue, tagra mago'anena knazana ozamisune, na'ankure megi'a vahe'mo'za amu'no zamifinti rukarehe hu'za Anumzamofonte e'naze.
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].
Hu'neanagi avonkreta amanage huta zamazeri haviza huzampintira maniganeta maniho huta zamasmi sanune. Havi anumzamofo ami'nesia zane, monko avu'ava'zane, anankema taga osu zagagafane, korama me'ne'nia ame'a oneho huta zamasmisune.
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].”
Na'ankure tagra antahi'none, ofenka'a knareti eno menima e'neana, Mosese kasege'a huama hakare kumatera nehu'za, maka mani fruhu knarera (Sabat) osi mono (sinagog) nompi umareri'za hampri'za nezamasmize.
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].
Anante aposol naga'ene, mono kva vahe'mo'zane, maka mono kevumo'za amuno zamifinti huhampri zamante'nazana Judasinku Basabasi nehaza ne'ene Sailasi'a ana naga'amofo kva ne' zamine huhampri zananteke, Poline Banabasikizni Antioku vihogu huzmante'naze.
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].
Ama'na avonkrentage'za eri'za vu'naze, aposol nagategati'ene mono kva vahe'motane, tamagri tamafuheta megi'a tafuhetane nerasarogta Antiokune Siriane, Silisiama mani'namotarega musenke huramantone.
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.
Kema antahunkeno'a, mago'a vahe'mo'za tagripinti vu'za, huozmante'nona ke ome tamasmiza kemo'a, kna neramino antahintahitamia tamazeri savari hu'naze.
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.
Tagra mago tarimpa huta tavesima nezanantona tagri roneti Banabasine Poline magoka ama vahera huhampri zamanteta huzamantonke'za vaze.
26 Those two have put their lives in danger because of their [serving] our Lord [MTY] Jesus Christ.
Zanagra zanavufa tagri Ramofo Jisasi Kraisi agi'are atre'za neha'a netre'ne.
27 We [(exc) have also chosen] Judas and Silas to go to you. They will tell you the same things [that we are writing].
E'ina hu'negu Judasine Sailasikizni huzmantonankino, zanagra zani'a ama kemofona ome hamprike tamasmigahaze.
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,
Na'ankure knare'ma hu'neana, Ruotge Avamu'ene tagranena, ruga'a knazana ontaminaku nehunanki, ama kemofo avaririgahaze.
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.”
Ana hu'neanki havi anumzamofo ami'nesia zane korama'a me'nenia ame'ane, anankema tagaosu zagagafa onetma monko'zana osugahaze. Tamagrama amazama osutma maniganeta manisazana knare hugahaze. Tamarimpa frune maniho.
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.
Ana hute'za zamagra atre'za Antioku urami'za, maka naga ome zamazeri atru hute'za anama kre'naza avona zami'naze.
31 When the believers there read the letter, they rejoiced, [because its message] encouraged them.
Rankema hu'za ana avoma hampritageno, vahe'tamimo'za zamazeri hanaveti kema hazazankura, tusi'a musenkase hu'naze.
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].
Hagi Judasike Sailasikea znagranena kasanampa netrenkike, so'e hu'za mani'saza kene zamazeri hanaveti ke nezmasmike, zamentinti nagara zaza naneke hu'ne zamasmi'na'e.
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].
Mago'agna manitakeno, ana kumate zamentinti nehaza naga'mo'za, tanarimpa farune vi'o hu'za huznantageke, e'na'a vahetega eteke vu'na'e.
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].
Hu'neanagi Poli'ene Banabasikea, rama'a rempi huzami vahe'ene Antioku kumate mani'ne'za rempi hunezami'za Ramofonkea huama hu'za zamasmi'naze.
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].”
Henka'a mago'a kna evutegeno, Poli'a Banabasina amanage huno asami'ne, Ete vuta maka kumapi zamentinti nagara, Anumzamofo kema zamasmi'no'ana, nankna nehazafi ome zamagesu'e.
37 Barnabas [agreed with Paul, and said that he] wanted to take John, whose other name was Mark, along with them [again].
Banabasi'a, Joninku mago agi'a Maki'e nehaza ne' avare'neta vanu'e hu'ne.
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.
Hianagi ko'ma avareke Pamfili'a kumate nevakeno, zanatreno eri'za e'o'ri vu'negu Poli'a hamponatino i'o, avareta ovugahu'e hu'ne.
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.
Hu'nege'ne anazanteku fra vaziteke, otare atre hu'na'e. Banabasi'a Makina avareno votifi marerino Saiprusi ti amunompi kumate vu'na'e.
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].
Hu'neanagi Poli'a Sailasi avarena vugahue nehige'za, Anumzamofo asunku'zane knare vi'o hu'za mono afuhe'zane asarahehe'zanena musen ke huznantageke atreke vu'na'e.
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].
Siriane Silisi'a kumapi Poli'a ufreno nevuno, mono vahera zamazeri hanavetime vu'ne.
