Acts 15
1 And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren — 'If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;'
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé tajin kakiya kꞌutuꞌn pa ri tinimit Antioquía rech Siria are xoꞌpan nikꞌaj achyabꞌ aꞌj pa ri tinimit Judea, xkichapleꞌj ukꞌutik chikiwach ri kojonelabꞌ chi man kekolotaj taj we man kokisax ri ketal kibꞌ jetaq ri kubꞌij ri utaqanik ri Moisés.
2 there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question,
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé man utz taj xkita we riꞌ rumal riꞌ xkibꞌan tijoj chuqꞌabꞌ pa tzij kukꞌ ri winaq. Kꞌisbꞌal rech ri alaxik rech ri komontyox xuqujeꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ, xkichomaj xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xuqujeꞌ e nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chik xebꞌe chutzijoxik rij we jastaq riꞌ kukꞌ ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe.
3 they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren.
Ri kojonelabꞌ rech ri komontyox xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri taqoꞌn pa Jerusalén, pa ri kikꞌowik xeꞌkisolij kanoq ri kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Fenicia, xuqujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Samaria, xkitzijoj chike chi tajin kekojon ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, ri kojonelabꞌ chilaꞌ sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkotik are xkita we riꞌ.
4 And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them;
Are xoꞌpan ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, utz kikꞌulaxik xbꞌanik kumal ri kojonelabꞌ, ri taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe. Xkitzijoj kꞌu chike ronojel ri ubꞌanom ri Dios kukꞌ.
5 and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying — 'It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.'
E kꞌo kꞌu nikꞌaj achyabꞌ fariseos ri e kojoninaq chik che ri Cristo, xetakꞌiꞌ aqꞌanoq, xkibꞌij: Ri achyabꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj tzi rajawaxik wi kokisax ketal are kekojonik, xuqujeꞌ kakinimaj ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
6 And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,
Xkimulij kꞌu kibꞌ ri taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe chuchomaxik rij we jastaq riꞌ.
7 and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, 'Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;
Are xtzijotaj rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, ri Pedro xtakꞌiꞌk, xubꞌij: Alaxik, iwetaꞌm chi ri Dios najtir uloq xinuchaꞌ chiꞌxoꞌl chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech jeriꞌ kakitatabꞌej xuqujeꞌ kekojon che we tzij riꞌ.
8 and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
Ri Dios ri retaꞌm ri animaꞌaj xukꞌutu chi xuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are xuya ri Uxlabꞌixel chike jetaq ri xubꞌan chuyaꞌik chaqe uj.
9 and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;
Ri Dios xuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri kanimaꞌ rumal ri kikojobꞌal, ri Dios man xaq xwi ta xujuchaꞌ uj xane xuchaꞌ xuqujeꞌ areꞌ.
10 now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
¿Jas kꞌu che kijunamaj iwibꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios, kiya eqaꞌn chikij nikꞌaj chik ri man xekwin ta ri qatat qanan, xuqujeꞌ man xujkwin ta uj che rukꞌaꞌxik?
11 but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.'
Ri uj qonojel kaqakojo chi kujkoltajik xa rumal riꞌ toqꞌobꞌ ri man taqal ta chaqe are waꞌ ri xuya chaqe ri Ajawxel Jesús.
12 And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;
Qonojel kꞌu ri winaq man xechꞌaw ta chik are xkitatabꞌej ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xkitzijoj ri mayijabꞌal taq kꞌulmatajik ri xubꞌan ri Dios kukꞌ are xoꞌpan kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
13 and after they are silent, James answered, saying, 'Men, brethren, hearken to me;
Are xetoꞌtaj chutzijoxik ri xkꞌulmatajik, xtakꞌiꞌ ri Jacobo kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Chitampe na, qachalal.
14 Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,
Ri Pedro xutzijoj chiꞌwe ri xubꞌan ri Dios are xuꞌsolij nabꞌe mul ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech jeriꞌ xukꞌamawaꞌj che uꞌwinaq.
15 and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:
Are waꞌ ri tzijotal loq kumal ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios ojer ri tzꞌibꞌatalik, ri kubꞌij:
16 After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright —
Are kikꞌow we jastaq riꞌ kintzalij kꞌu na loq, kinyak na ri rachoch ri David ri xtukinik, kinsukꞌumaj na ri tukininaq, kinbꞌan na kꞌakꞌ
17 that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.
rech konojel ri achyabꞌ rech ronojel ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj kaketaꞌmaj na nuwach xuqujeꞌ kuꞌx na e wech.
Jewaꞌ xubꞌij ri Ajawxel, Areꞌ xbꞌanowik chi xetaꞌmax loq we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ ojer. (aiōn g165)
19 wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,
Rumal laꞌ kinbꞌij in chi man kuya taj keꞌqaqꞌatej ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel kekojon che ri Dios.
20 but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;
Xwi qatzꞌibꞌaj chike chi man kakitij ta jastaq ri e tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq dios, kiqꞌila kibꞌ che mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ man kuya taj kakitij aꞌwaj e jitzꞌam rachiꞌl kikꞌ.
21 for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him — in the synagogues every sabbath being read.'
Are kꞌu ri utaqanik ri Moisés tzijotal wi loq najtir pa ronojel qꞌij rech uxlanem pa ri Sinagoga kech ri aꞌj Israel.
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas — Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren —
Ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox xeꞌkichaꞌ taqoꞌn, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik kukꞌ ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ ri Bernabé pa ri tinimit Antioquía rech Siria, chubꞌixik chike ri kojonelabꞌ jas jeꞌ ri xkichomaj. Ri e taqoꞌn are ri Judas (ri kabꞌix Barsabás che) rachiꞌl ri Silas, e kebꞌ kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox.
23 having written through their hand thus: 'The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who [are] of the nations, greeting;
Ri wuj ri xkikꞌam bꞌik kubꞌij: Uj, ri uj taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri uj kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox, uj iwachalal uj kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén. Uj kujtzꞌibꞌan we wuj riꞌ chike ri e kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Antioquía, Siria, xuqujeꞌ Cilicia. Jun rutzil iwach.
24 seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,
Xqato chi e kꞌo nikꞌaj achyabꞌ keꞌl waral are kakaj kixkisubꞌu rukꞌ taq ri kikꞌutuꞌn, man xa ta kꞌu e qataqom bꞌik.
25 it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul —
Rumal riꞌ pa junamam xqachomaj keꞌqataq bꞌik e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kukꞌ ri e loqꞌalaj taq qachalal Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Pablo.
26 men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ —
Ri e qachalal riꞌ kiyoꞌm ri kikꞌaslemal chupatanixik ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
27 we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.
Xeꞌqataq bꞌik ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas chuqꞌalajisaxik ri xqachomaj, rumal rech ri kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ xibꞌan loq.
28 'For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things:
Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ ri uj man kaqaj taj kaqaya eqaꞌn chiꞌwij xaq xwi kaqaj kibꞌan we xqatzꞌibꞌaj bꞌik chiꞌwe:
29 to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!'
Man kitij ta jastaq ri e tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq dios, man kuya taj kitij aꞌwaj e jitzꞌatalik, man kuya taj kitij kikꞌ xuqujeꞌ chiqꞌila iwibꞌ che mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ. Tajin kibꞌan ri utzilal, we kibꞌan we xqatzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe riꞌ. Kiwil iwibꞌ.
30 They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle,
Aninaq xebꞌe ri taqoꞌn pa ri tinimit Antioquía, chilaꞌ xeꞌkimulij wi ri kojonelabꞌ, xkijach chike ri wuj ri xya bꞌik chike.
31 and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation;
Xekiꞌkot ri e kojonelabꞌ are xsikꞌix ri wuj ri xtaq bꞌik chike.
32 Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,
Ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, naj xetzijon kukꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
33 and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brethren unto the apostles;
Xekꞌojiꞌ kꞌu na jun janipa qꞌij chilaꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xetaq bꞌik kumal ri kojonelabꞌ rukꞌ tewechibꞌal xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril pa ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
34 and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.
/Ri Silas kꞌut xraj xkanaj kan chilaꞌ./
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news — with many others also — the word of the Lord;
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xekanaj kan pa ri tinimit Antioquía. Xkitzijoj xuqujeꞌ xkikꞌut ri utzij ri Dios. E kꞌi winaq xuqujeꞌ je xkibꞌano.
36 and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, 'Having turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord — how they are.'
Are xikꞌow jun janipa qꞌij, ri Pablo xubꞌij che ri Bernabé: Jeꞌqasolij ri e tinimit ri xqatzijoj wi ri utzij ri Ajawxel, rech kaqilo jas kibꞌanik ri e kꞌakꞌ taq kojonelabꞌ.
37 And Barnabas counselled to take with [them] John called Mark,
Are kꞌu ri Bernabé xraj xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos kukꞌ.
38 and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;
Ri Pablo man xraj ta wi, rumal chi ri Juan Marcos xutas kan ribꞌ chike pa ri tinimit Panfilia, man xchakun ta chi kukꞌ.
39 there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,
Man xukꞌulaj ta kꞌu ribꞌ ri kichomanik rumal riꞌ xkijach kibꞌ. Ri Bernabé xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos, xeꞌ pa Chipre.
40 and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brethren;
Ri Pablo kꞌut, are xuchaꞌ bꞌik ri Silas che rachiꞌl. Ri e kojonelabꞌ aꞌj chilaꞌ xeꞌkijach bꞌik pa uqꞌabꞌ ri Ajawxel rech kel ukꞌuꞌx chike.
41 and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
Xikꞌow pa ronojel Siria xuqujeꞌ Cilicia, xuꞌtaqchiꞌj kan konojel ri kojonelabꞌ rech kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
