Acts 15
1 But certain persons came down from Judea, and began to teach the Brethren that, unless they were circumcised, in accordance with the custom enjoined by Moses, they could not be saved.
Judea-dagi mi khara Antioch-ta laklaga “Moses-ki Wayel Yathanggi matung inna nakhoina un-kaktrabadi nakhoi kanbiba phangloi” haina thajabasingda tambirammi.
2 This gave rise to a serious dispute, and much discussion, between Paul and Barnabas and these men, and it was therefore settled that Paul and Barnabas and others of their number should go up to Jerusalem, to consult the Apostles and Officers of the Church about the matter under discussion.
Masigi matangda Paul amasung Barnabas-na makhoiga yamna kanna yetnarammi. Maram aduna Paul amasung Barnabas amadi Antioch-tagi thajaba kharaga loinana Jerusalem-da masigi matangda pakhonchatpasing amadi ahal lamansing unaba chatnaba leplammi.
3 The Church, therefore, sent them on their journey, and they made their way through Phoenicia and Samaria, telling the story of the conversion of the Gentiles, to the great joy of all the Brethren.
Singlupna makhoibu thabirammi aduga makhoina Phoenicia amadi Samaria phaoduna chatpada Jihudi nattabasingna Tengban Mapuda mai onsillakpagi pao makhoina tamlammi maduda thajaba pumnamak yamna haraorammi.
4 On their arrival at Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the Church, as well as by the Apostles and the Officers, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do.
Makhoina Jerusalem-da thungbada singlup amasung pakhonchatpasing amadi ahal lamansingna makhoibu taramna oklammi aduga Tengban Mapuna makhoigi mapanna toubikhiba thabak pumnamak makhoida tamlammi.
5 Some of the Pharisees’ party, however, who had become believers in Christ, came forward and declared that they were bound to circumcise converts and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses.
Adubu Pharisee-singgi kangluptagi thajaraba mioi kharana lepkhatlaktuna hairak-i, “Jihudi nattaba makhoi un-kakpa tai aduga Moses-ki Wayel Yathang innaba haiba tai.”
6 The Apostles and the Officers of the Church held a meeting to consider this question.
Maram aduna wapham asi khannanaba pakhonchatpasing amadi ahal lamansing punna unarammi.
7 After much discussion, Peter rose and said: “You, my Brothers, know well that long ago God singled me out — that through my lips the Gentiles should hear the Message of the Good News, and become believers in Christ.
Makhoina kuina khannaraba matungda Peter-na lepkhattuna hairak-i, “Ichil-inaosa, Jihudi nattaba phurupsingna eigi chindagi Aphaba Pao asi taraga thajaraknaba matam kharagi mamangda nakhoigi naraktagi eibu Tengban Mapuna khandopikkhiba adu nakhoina khang-i.
8 Now God, who reads all hearts, declared his acceptance of the Gentiles, by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us.
Mi pumnamakki thamoibu khangbiba Tengban Mapu mahakna makhoibu yabi haibasi Ibungo mahakna eikhoida Thawai Asengba pibibagumna makhoidasu Thawai Asengba pibiduna utpire.
9 He made no distinction between them and us, when he purified their hearts by their faith.
Ibungona eikhoiga makhoigagi marakta karisu khennaba thambide, maramdi makhoigi thajabagi mapanna Ibungona makhoigi thamoibu sengdokpire.
10 Why, then, do you now provoke God, by putting on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our ancestors nor we were able to bear?
Maram aduna eikhoigi ipa ipusingnasu aduga eikhoinasu puba ngamdaba potlum adubu thajabasinggi mathakta thanggattuna eikhoina karigi Tengban Mapubu chang yenggadouribano?
11 No, it is through the loving-kindness of the Lord Jesus that we, just as they do, believe that we have been saved.”
Madu touroidabani! Makhoida oibagumna, eikhoisu Ibungo Jisugi thoujalna kanbiba phangle haiba eikhoina thajei.”
12 Every voice in the assembly was hushed, as they listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they gave an account of all the signs and wonders which God had shown among the Gentiles through them.
Tengban Mapuna makhoigi mapanna Jihudi nattabasinggi marakta angakpa thabaksing amadi khudamsing toukhiba adu Paul amadi Barnabas-na paodamba aduda miyam pumnakna tumin leiduna tarammi.
13 After they had finished speaking, James addressed the Council. “Brothers,” he began, “hear what I have to say.
Makhoina ngangba loirabada Jacob-na hairak-i, “Ichil-inaosa, eina haiba tabiyu.
14 Simon has described the manner in which God first visited the Gentiles, in order to take from among them a people to bear his Name.
Jihudi nattabasingdagi Ibungo mahakki oiba mising khandokpiduna Tengban Mapuna makhoigidamak khanbi haibasi ahanba oina utpiba adu Simon-na sandokna haibikhre.
15 And that is in harmony with the words of the Prophets, where they say —
Masigi thoudok asi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousingna haikhiba wasing aduga chanei. Mapugi puyada asumna iduna lei,
16 ‘“After this I will return; And I will rebuild the House of David which has fallen — Its very ruins I will rebuild, And will set it up once more;
‘Masigi matungda ei hallakkani, haibi Ibungona, aduga David-ki tukhraba phiyum amuk sagatpigani. Ningkhaikhraba adu eina amuk sagatkani aduga hannagi phibhamda thambigani.
17 That so the rest of mankind may earnestly seek the Lord — Even all the Gentiles on whom my Name has been bestowed.”
Aduga mioi atei pumnamak MAPU IBUNGO-bu thijagani, eigi oinaba koukhraba Jihudi nattabasing pumnamaksu.
Matam kuirabagi mamangda khanghanbiraba Mapu Ibungona masi haibire.’” (aiōn g165)
19 In my judgment, therefore, we should not add to the difficulties of those Gentiles who are turning to God,
Jacob-na makha tana hairak-i, “Eigi oinadi, Jihudi nattabasingna Tengban Mapuda mai onsillakpada eikhoina wahanba oihan-gumsi.
20 but we should write to them to abstain from food that has been polluted by being sacrificed to idols, from impurity, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from blood.
Madugi mahutta lai murtida kattuna mangthoklaba chinjak, nupa nupi oktaba lamchat chatpa, mangak leithattuna hatpa sa amadi ee chaba hairibasing asidagi lapthoknaba eikhoina makhoida i-si.
21 For in every town, for generations past, there have been those who preach Moses, read as he is in the Synagogues every Sabbath.”
Maramdi mamangngeidagi houna Moses-ki Wayel Yathang asi synagogue-singda Potthaba numit khudingda pari aduga mahakki waheisingbu sahar khudingda sandokli.”
22 It was then decided by the Apostles and the Officers, with the assent of the whole Church, to choose some of their number, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. Those chosen were Judas (called Barsabas) and Silas, who were leading men among the Brethren.
Adudagi makhoigi maraktagi mi khara khallaga Paul amadi Barnabas-ka loinana Antioch-ta thanaba pakhonchatpasing, ahal lamansing amasung singlup apunbana lepnarammi. Thajabasinggi marakta luchingba oiriba mioi ani haibadi Barsabbas hainasu kouba Judas amadi Silas-pu makhoina khallammi.
23 They were bearers of the following letter — ‘The Apostles, and the Brothers who are the Officers of the Church, send their greetings to the Brethren of Gentile birth in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.
Makhoina masigi ayiba che adu makhoida puhallammi: “Pakhonchatpasing, ahal lammansing amasung nakhoigi nachin nanaosing eikhoina, Antioch, Syria amadi Cilicia-da leiba eikhoigi Jihudi nattaba ichil inaosing nakhoibu khurumjari.
24 As we had heard that some of our number had upset you by their assertions, and unsettled your minds — without instructions from us —
Eikhoigi iraktagi chatkhiba mioi kharana haiba waphamdagi nakhoigi pukning olang onsaonahalle amasung nungaihandre. Adubu makhoidi eikhoidagi ayaba yaoraga chatkhiba natte.
25 We met and decided to choose certain men and send them to you with our dear brothers Barnabas and Paul,
Maram aduna eikhoi punna tinnare aduga nakhoigi nanakta thananaba pao puba khara eikhoina khandokpa yanare. Eikhoigi Mapu Ibungo Jisu Christtagidamak thawai katthoklaba nungsijaraba marup Paul amadi Barnabas-ka loinana makhoi chatminnagani.
26 who have sacrificed themselves for the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
27 We are accordingly sending Judas and Silas, and they will tell you by word of mouth what we are now writing.
Maram aduna eikhoina i-khraba adumak makhoimakna hainanaba nakhoigi nanakta Judas amadi Silas-pu eikhoina thare.
28 We have, therefore, decided, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to lay no further burden upon you beyond these necessary conditions —
Maru oiba hiramsing asi nattana atoppa potlum amamuk nakhoida thanggattaba haibasi Thawai Asengbanasu eikhoinasu phei haina khalle:
29 That you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from impurity. If you guard yourselves against such things, it will be well with you. Farewell.’
madudi lai murtida katpa chinjak chadaba; ee chadaba; mangak leithattuna hatpa sa chadaba; nupa nupigi oiba lamchat naidaba thabaktagi lapthokpa hairibasing asini. Nakhoina hairibasing asi toudaba haibasi nakhoigi aphabani. Kainarasi.”
30 So the bearers of this letter were sent on their way, and went down to Antioch. There they called a meeting of all the brethren,
Pao pubasing adu thakhrabada makhoina Antioch-ta chatlammi aduga mapham aduda makhoina thajabasingbu khomjillaga ayiba che adu makhoida sinnarammi.
31 and delivered the letter, the reading of which caused great rejoicing by its encouraging contents.
Mising aduna madu parammi aduga madugi pukning thougatpa waheising aduda makhoi haraorammi.
32 Judas and Silas, who were themselves Prophets, further encouraged the Brethren by many an address, and strengthened their faith.
Judas amadi Silas makhoi animak Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou oiba maramna makhoibu pukning thougatpiduna amadi panggal happiduna matam sangna wa nganglammi.
33 After some stay, they were dismissed with kind farewells from the Brethren, and returned to those who had sent them.
Mapham aduda matam khara leiraba tungda thajabasing aduna makhoibu thabirakpasing adugi maphamda ingthana thabire.
[Adum oinamak Silas-nadi mapham aduda leithaba phagani haina khankhi.]
35 Paul and Barnabas, however, remained in Antioch, where they taught and, with the help of many others, told the Good News of the Lord’s Message.
Adubu Paul amasung Barnabas-ti mi kaya amaga loinana tambiduna amasung Mapu Ibungogi wa sandoktuna matam khara Antioch-ta leitharammi.
36 Some time after this, Paul said to Barnabas: “Let us go back and visit the Brethren in every town in which we have told the Lord’s Message, and see how they are prospering.”
Matam khara leiraga Paul-na Barnabas-ta hairak-i, “Eikhoina Mapu Ibungogi wa sandoklamba saharsingda amuk hanna chattuna thajabasing adu karam touribage haibadu yenglusi.”
37 Barnabas wished to take with them John, whose other name was Mark;
Barnabas-na John Mark-pu makhoiga loinana puba pamlammi
38 but Paul felt that they ought not to take with them the man who had deserted them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to their work.
adubu mahakna thabak loiba phaoba makhoiga leiminnadana mahakna Pamphylia-da makhoibu thadoklamlaga hankhiba maramna Paul-nadi mahak puba haibasi chumde haina khallammi.
39 This caused such unpleasant feeling between them that they parted, Barnabas taking Mark and sailing for Cyprus,
Kanna yetnaba thorakpadagi makhoi ani khainarammi: Barnabas-na Mark-pu puduna Cyprus-ta hi tongduna chatkhi
40 while Paul chose Silas for his companion and, after he had been committed by the Brethren to the gracious care of the Lord,
adubu thajabasingna makhoibu Mapu Ibungogi thoujalda sinnabiraga Paul-na Silas-pu khallaga chatkhirammi.
41 started on his journey and went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the Churches in the faith.
Mahakna Syria amadi Cilicia phaoduna chatlaga singlupsingbu panggal happirammi.
