Acts 15
1 And certain men who came down from Judea, taught the brethren, [and said], Except ye be circumcised after the manner 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 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go 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 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice, 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 when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done 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 certain of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, saying, That it was needful 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 elders came together to consider of this matter.
Cedawngawh cawhkaw awi kqawn aham Jerusalem khaw na ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ce cun uhy.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose and said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that a good while ago, God made choice among us, that the Gentiles, by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, 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 hearts, bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, even as [he did] 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 put no difference between us and them, purifying 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 tempt ye God, to put 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 through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we shall be saved even 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 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought by them among the Gentiles.
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 held their peace, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hearken to me.
Anik kqawn boeih coengawh, Jakob ing, “Koeinaakhqi ngai lah uh.
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take from among 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 to 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 build again the tabernacle of David which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins of it; and I 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 residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all 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 sentence is, that we trouble not them, who from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
Cedawngawh, Khawsa benna ak hlat Gentelkhqi ce kyinaak peek aham am awm hy, tinawh awi tlyk nyng.
20 But that we write to them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] lewdness, and [from] things 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 of old time hath in every city them that 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 pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas; [namely], Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief 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 [letters] by them after this manner; The apostles, and elders, and brethren, [send] greeting to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia.
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 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain who went out from us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, [Ye must] be circumcised, and keep the law; to whom we gave no [such] commandment:
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, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men 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 that 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 also tell [you] the same things by 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 greater burden than 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 That ye abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from lewdness: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. Fare ye well.
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 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had convened the multitude, they delivered the epistle.
Cekkhqi ce ami tyih coengawh Antiok khaw na ce cet uhy, cawh thlangboel ce pynoet na cet unawh ca ce pe uhy.
31 [Which] when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Ca ce ami noet awh cawhkaw thapeeknaak awi awh ce zeel uhy.
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, 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 after they had tarried [there] a time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren to the apostles.
Khawnghi iqyt nu cawh ani awm coengawh, koeinaakhqi ing cekqawi ce ngaihdingnaak awi ing cekqawi ak tyikungkhqi venna tyi tlaih uhy.
34 Notwithstanding, it pleased Silas to abide there still.
Cehlai Sila taw cawh ce awm aham cai hy.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
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 our brethren, in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, [and see] how they do.
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, whose surname was Mark.
Barnaba ing Marka tinawh awm amik khy Johan ce ceh pyi aham ngaih hy,
38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from 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 the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed, separating one from the other: and so 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 departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.
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.
