Apostolok 15
1 Némelyek pedig, kik Júdeából jöttek alá, így tanítják vala az atyafiakat: Ha körül nem metélkedtek Mózes rendtartása szerint, nem idvezülhettek.
[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}.”
2 Mikor azért Pálnak és Barnabásnak nagy háborúsága és vetekedése lőn azok ellen, azt végezék, hogy Pál és Barnabás és némely mások ő közülök menjenek fel az apostolokhoz és a vénekhez Jeruzsálembe e kérdés ügyében.
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.
3 Ők tehát kikísértetvén a gyülekezettől, általmentek Fenicián és Samárián, elbeszélve a pogányok megtérését; és nagy örömet szerzének az összes atyafiaknak.
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.
4 Mikor pedig megérkeztek Jeruzsálembe, a gyülekezet és az apostolok és a vének fogadák őket, és ők elbeszélék, mily nagy dolgokat cselekedék az Isten ő velök.
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].
5 Előállának azonban némely hivők a farizeusok szerzetéből valók közül, mondván, hogy körül kell metélni őket, és megparancsolni, hogy a Mózes törvényét megtartsák.
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.”
6 Egybegyülének azért az apostolok és a vének, hogy e dolog felől végezzenek.
Then the apostles and [the other] elders met together in order to talk about this matter.
7 És mikor nagy vetekedés támadt, felkelvén Péter, monda nékik: Atyámfiai, férfiak, ti tudjátok, hogy az Isten régebbi idő óta kiválasztott engem mi közülünk, hogy a pogányok az én számból hallják az evangyéliomnak beszédét, és higyjenek.
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].
8 És a szíveket ismerő Isten bizonyságot tett mellettük, mert adta nékik a Szent Lelket, miként nékünk is;
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].
9 És semmi különbséget sem tett mi köztünk és azok között, a hit által tisztítván meg azoknak szívét.
[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].
10 Most azért mit kísértitek az Istent, hogy a tanítványok nyakába oly igát tegyetek, melyet sem a mi atyáink, sem mi el nem hordozhattunk?
[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]!
11 Sőt inkább az Úr Jézus Krisztus kegyelme által hiszszük, hogy megtartatunk, miképen azok is.
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.”
12 Elhallgatott azért az egész sokaság; és hallgatják vala Barnabást és Pált, a mint elbeszélék, mennyi jelt és csudát tett az Isten ő általok a pogányok között.
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].
13 Miután pedig ők elhallgattak, felele Jakab, mondván: Atyámfiai, férfiak, hallgassatok meg engem!
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.
14 Simeon elbeszélé, mimódon gondoskodott először az Isten, hogy a pogányok közül vegyen népet az ő nevének,
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].
15 És ezzel egyeznek a próféták mondásai, mint meg van írva:
[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:
16 Ezek után megtérek és felépítem a Dávidnak leomlott sátorát; és annak omladékait helyreállítom, és ismét felállatom azt:
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.
17 Hogy megkeresse az embereknek többi része az Urat, és a pogányok mindnyájan, a kik az én nevemről neveztetnek. Ezt mondja az Úr, ki mindezeket megcselekszi.
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].
I [caused my people to know about them] long ago.” (aiōn g165)
19 Azokáért én azt mondom, hogy nem kell háborgatni azokat, kik a pogányok közül térnek meg az Istenhez;
[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.
20 Hanem írjuk meg nékik, hogy tartózkodjanak a bálványok fertelmességeitől, a paráznaságtól, a fúlvaholt állattól és a vértől.
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].
21 Mert Mózesnek régi nemzedékek óta városonként megvannak a hirdetői, mivelhogy a zsinagógákban minden szombaton olvassák.
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].”
22 Akkor tetszék az apostoloknak és a véneknek az egész gyülekezettel egybe, hogy férfiakat válaszszanak ki magok közül és elküldjék Antiókhiába Pállal és Barnabással, Júdást, kinek mellékneve Barsabás, és Silást, kik az atyafiak között főemberek valának.
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].
23 Megírván azok keze által ezeket: Az apostolok, a vének, és az atyafiak az Antiókhiában, Siriában és Czilicziában levő, a pogányok közül való atyafiaknak üdvözletüket!
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].
24 Mivelhogy meghallottuk, hogy némelyek mi közülünk kimenvén, megháborítottak titeket beszédeikkel, feldúlva a ti lelketeket, azt mondván, hogy körülmetélkedjetek és a törvényt megtartsátok; kiknek mi parancsot nem adtunk:
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.
25 Tetszék nékünk, miután egyértelemre jutottunk, hogy férfiakat válaszszunk ki és elküldjük ti hozzátok a mi szeretteinkkel, Barnabással és Pállal,
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.
26 Oly emberekkel, kik életüket tették koczkára a mi Urunk Jézus Krisztus nevéért.
Those two have put their lives in danger because of their [serving] our Lord [MTY] Jesus Christ.
27 Küldöttük azért Júdást és Silást, kik élőszóval szintén tudtotokra adják ugyanezeket.
We [(exc) have also chosen] Judas and Silas to go to you. They will tell you the same things [that we are writing].
28 Mert tetszék a Szent Léleknek és nékünk, hogy semmi több teher ne vettessék ti reátok ezeken a szükséges dolgokon kívül,
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,
29 Hogy tartózkodjatok a bálványoknak áldozott dolgoktól, a vértől, a fúlvaholt állattól, és a paráznaságtól; melyektől ha megóvjátok magatokat, jól lesz dolgotok. Legyetek egészségben!
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.”
30 Azok annakokáért elbocsáttatván, elmenének Antiókhiába; és egybegyűjtvén a sokaságot, átadák a levelet.
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.
31 És mikor elolvasták, örvendezének az intésen.
When the believers there read the letter, they rejoiced, [because its message] encouraged them.
32 Júdás és Silás pedig maguk is próféták lévén, sok beszéddel inték az atyafiakat, és megerősíték.
[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].
33 Miután pedig bizonyos időt eltöltöttek, elbocsáták őket az atyafiak békességgel az apostolokhoz.
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].
34 De Silásnak tetszék ott maradni.
35 Pál és Barnabás is Antiókhiában időzének, tanítva és prédikálva másokkal is többekkel az Úrnak ígéjét.
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].
36 Egynéhány nap mulva pedig monda Pál Barnabásnak: Visszatérve most, látogassuk meg a mi atyánkfiait minden városban, melyben hírdettük az Úrnak ígéjét, hogyan vannak.
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].”
37 És Barnabás azt tanácsolá, hogy vegyék maguk mellé Jánost, ki Márknak hívatik.
Barnabas [agreed with Paul, and said that he] wanted to take John, whose other name was Mark, along with them [again].
38 Pál azonban azt tartá méltónak, hogy a ki elszakadt tőlük Pamfiliától fogva, és nem ment velök a munkára, ne vegyék maguk mellé azt.
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.
39 Meghasonlás támada azért, úgyhogy elszakadának egymástól, és Barnabás maga mellé véve Márkot, elhajózék Cziprusba;
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.
40 Pál pedig Silást választván maga mellé, elméne, az Isten kegyelmére bízatván az atyafiaktól.
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].
41 És eljárá Siriát és Czilicziát, erősítve a gyülekezeteket.
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].
