Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Avanu avange vaikhile ukhuhuma khu Uyahudi nu khuvvamanyisya avalukkholo, valekhuta, “Mungasite ukhukeketiwa ndi nyikho incha Mose, samukhapokhiwe.”
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
U Pavuli nu Barnaba vuvilwa navo mbukhanihani navene, avalukholo vakhalamula ukhuta uPauli, Barnaba na avange valotage khu Yelusalemu khu vasukhiwa navavakha ukhugamula ele.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Pwu khwa khusuhiwa khuvene nu mpelela, vakhagendela Foinike na Samaria valekhutangasya ukhusyetuliwa inumbula avakhelunga. Vakhagega ulukhovokho khu valokolo voni,
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Vuwinchile khu Yelusalemu, vakhopelelwa navampelela na vasukhiwa na vavakha, vakhavapangela imbombo nchoni inchavombile Unguluve khuvene.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Pwu avange avanu aveedikhe, avavale ndipuga elya Valongonchi, vakhema nukhuta, “lononu ukhuvakheketa nukhuvalagela ukhwibata indagelo incha Mose.”
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Pwu avasukhiwa na vavakha vakhema paninie ukhulesagela elimenu elyo.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Vuvenchovanchinje, Peteli akhema nu khuchova khuvene, “Valokholo mulumanyile ukhuta imisekhe eminonu egelutile Unguluve avombile uvukhale khulyofwe, ukhuta ndomo gwango avakhelunga vapulekhe elimenyu lya Nguluve, nu khwedekha.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Unguluve, uveanchimanyile inumbula, ikhovavula, ikhovapa Umepo Umbalanche, ndavovwa avombile khulyofwe;
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
satesaninche ukhusita ukhuhwanene ufwe navene, akhanchivekha inumbula inchavene ukhuva nonu nu lwidekho.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Pwu, khekhi mukhogela Unguluve ukhuta muvekwe iyikhongelwa mu singo incha vakhongi fifyo na vadadavetu fyavatohile ukhusipa?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Ulwa khuva twihwedekha ukhuta twikha uvwupokhi khu luhungu lwa Ntwa uYiisu, ndavovwa vale
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Ululundamano lwoni lukhanchiga mie vwuvikhuvapalehencha uBarnaba nu Pauli vwuvihomia elimenyu elya fikhwani ni fidekho fifyo Unguluve avombile paninie navene nava khelinga.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Vwu velekhilwe ukhunchova, Yakobo akhanda akhata, “Valokholo mumolekhenche.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simoni avavolile ukhuta Unguluve khuluhungu avatangile avakhelunga nu khuhoma khuvene avakhave avanu khu litawa lya mwene.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Amamenyu ga vanyamalago gihwedekhananele ndavovwa lesimbiwe.
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
'Vwu nchivombikhe inchi nelavwuya khunjenga elyeve lya Daudi, elegwile pasi; yanikhwimikha nukhutesania ukhunengekha,
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
pwu avanu vava vasigile vandondage Untwa, popaninie na vanu Avakhelunga avelangilwe khu litawa lyango.'
Uvwu vwunchova Untwa oveavombile imbombo inchi inchimanyelihihe ukhuhoma khatale. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Pwu leno, uvutangeli vwango vwu uvu, ukhuta tusite ukhuvagatanche Avakhelunga vavo vamwedikhe Unguluve;
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
pwu tusimbe khuvene ukhuta vave khutali nu vunangi uvwa fikhwani, uvunogwe uvwa mbivi nu fifyo finyongotolilwe, nu nkhisa.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Ukhuhuma ifipapo ifya vakhetali khuvale avanu vavo khela n-jini avilumbelela nu khumwemba uMose mu masinagogi mu Sabato.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Pwu yekhavonekha ukhuvakhosovya avasukhiwa na vavakhe, nu umpelela gyoni, ukhung'ala uYuda uveaelangwagwa Barsaba, nu Silas, avale valongonchi va mpelela, nu khuvasukhe khu Antiokia nu Pauli nu Barnaba.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Vasimbile ukhuta, “Vasukhiwa, vavakha na valokholo, khu valokholo Vankhelunga avale khu Antiokia, Shamu nu Kilikia, tukhuvaponia.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
Twapolikhe ukhuta khule vanu vavo satwavape ululagelo ulwa, vakhumile khulyofwe nu khuvagatancha khu vumanyisi uvwukhuvapelela uvugatafumu numbula nchenyo.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Pwu luvile lunonu khu twevoni ukhuhaga avanu nu khuvasukha khulyomwe ne vagane vetu uBranaba nu Pauli,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
avanu vavo vaekhominche uvwumi vwa vene khu litawa lya Ntwa Yiisu Kriste.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Pwu tavasukhile uYuda nu Sila, vikhovavola imbombo nchichicho.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Ulwakhuva yavonikhe ukhuva lunonu khu Mepo Umbalanche na khulyofwe, ukhusita ukhuvapelela ifinu ifinchitu ukhulutelela imbombo incha khuva mu mbolongolo:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
ukhuta msyetukhe ukhuhuma khu finu ifilakhiwe khu fikhwani, unkisa, ifinu iyinyongiwe. Nu uvuligu.”
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Pwu vavo wapanchanile, vakhihela khu Antiokia; vwu valundamine ululundamano pwu paninie, vakhehelekha ekhalata.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Vwu vayembilwe, vakhahovokha ukhukanganchwa inumbula.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
U Yuda nu Sila, na avanyamalago, vavahanginche avalokholo khu mamenyu mingi nu khuvapa amakha.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Vwu vatamile misekhe ukhwa, vakhapanchanila khu lukhungu ukhuhome khu valukholo khu vavo vakhavasukhile.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
U Pauli ne vange avatamaga khu Antiokia paninie na vange vingi, pwu vamanyisye nu khulambelela elimenyu lya Ntwa.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Vwu galutile amanchuva madebe Pauli akhata khwa Barnaba, “Ole leno tavuye khuhovagendela avalokholo mumwa twalombelile elimenyu lya Ntwa, nu khuvalola vovalevwo.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
U Barnaba akhanogwa ukhuluta neve nu Yohani uveatambuliwagwa Marko.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
U Pauli akhasaga ukhuta salwiva lunonu ukhuntola uMarko, yoywa avalekhile khu Pamfilia akhasita ukhuvombania embombo.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Pwu lukhahomela ukhukhanekhena ukhuvakha bakhalekhehana, uBarnaba akhantola uMarko vakhalutania mu mbwato khu Kipro,
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
U Pavuli akhang'ala nu Sila nu khuhega, vwuvupelile ulukhungu lwa Ntwa ukhuhuma khu valokholo.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Akhaluta ukhugendela khu Shamu na Kilikia, alekhungekhenganche imipelela.
