Hechos 15
1 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.
AND certain persons coming down from Judea taught the brethren, That if ye are not circumcised according to the ordinances of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 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.
There being therefore no small contention and dispute maintained by Paul and Barnabas against them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of their body, should go up to the apostles and presbyters at Jerusalem, for the decision of this question.
3 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.
They therefore being sent on their way by the church, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, giving a particular narrative of the conversion of the Gentiles: and they gave great joy to all the brethren.
4 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.
Then when they arrived at Jerusalem, they were cordially received by the church, and the apostles and presbyters, and they related how great things God had done by them.
5 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.
But up rose some of the pharisaical sect, who professed the faith, insisting, That it was necessary to circumcise them, and to enjoin them to observe the law of Moses.
6 Xkimulij kꞌu kibꞌ ri taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe chuchomaxik rij we jastaq riꞌ.
Then the apostles and presbyters were assembled to consider of this matter.
7 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.
When after much dispute, Peter arose, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know that a considerable time ago God chose among us, by my mouth, that the Gentiles should hear the gospel-word, and believe.
8 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.
And God, who is the discerner of the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as to us;
9 Ri Dios xuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri kanimaꞌ rumal ri kikojobꞌal, ri Dios man xaq xwi ta xujuchaꞌ uj xane xuchaꞌ xuqujeꞌ areꞌ.
and made no difference betwixt either us or them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 ¿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?
Why then now tempt ye God, by imposing a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Ri uj qonojel kaqakojo chi kujkoltajik xa rumal riꞌ toqꞌobꞌ ri man taqal ta chaqe are waꞌ ri xuya chaqe ri Ajawxel Jesús.
But we believe that we shall be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, in the same way as they.
12 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.
Then the whole multitude kept silence, and listened to Barnabas and Paul, relating how great signs and miracles God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 Are xetoꞌtaj chutzijoxik ri xkꞌulmatajik, xtakꞌiꞌ ri Jacobo kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Chitampe na, qachalal.
Now when they ceased speaking, James replied, saying, Men and brethren, hear me:
14 Ri Pedro xutzijoj chiꞌwe ri xubꞌan ri Dios are xuꞌsolij nabꞌe mul ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech jeriꞌ xukꞌamawaꞌj che uꞌwinaq.
Simon hath fully related, how at first God graciously looked upon the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name.
15 Are waꞌ ri tzijotal loq kumal ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios ojer ri tzꞌibꞌatalik, ri kubꞌij:
And in accord with this are the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 Are kikꞌow we jastaq riꞌ kintzalij kꞌu na loq, kinyak na ri rachoch ri David ri xtukinik, kinsukꞌumaj na ri tukininaq, kinbꞌan na kꞌakꞌ
“After this will I return, and build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen; and re-edify what hath been dug up from the foundation, and will set it upright again:
17 rech konojel ri achyabꞌ rech ronojel ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj kaketaꞌmaj na nuwach xuqujeꞌ kuꞌx na e wech.
that the residue of men may diligently seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles, among whom my name is invoked, even among them, saith the Lord, who doth all these things.”
Known unto God from the beginning are all his works. (aiōn g165)
19 Rumal laꞌ kinbꞌij in chi man kuya taj keꞌqaqꞌatej ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel kekojon che ri Dios.
Therefore I am decided, that we give no unnecessary disquietude to those who from the heathen have turned to God:
20 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.
but that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idol sacrifices, and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Are kꞌu ri utaqanik ri Moisés tzijotal wi loq najtir pa ronojel qꞌij rech uxlanem pa ri Sinagoga kech ri aꞌj Israel.
For Moses for ages past in every city hath those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath-day.
22 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.
Then it was determined by the apostles and presbyters with the whole church, to send select men from themselves unto Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren;
23 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.
writing a letter by their hand, in these words: The apostles and presbyters and the brethren, to the brethren from among the Gentiles which are at Antioch, and in Syria, and Cilicia, greeting:
24 Xqato chi e kꞌo nikꞌaj achyabꞌ keꞌl waral are kakaj kixkisubꞌu rukꞌ taq ri kikꞌutuꞌn, man xa ta kꞌu e qataqom bꞌik.
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain persons who went out from us have disturbed you with discourses, unsettling your minds, insisting, that you should be circumcised, and observe the law: to whom we gave no such charge:
25 Rumal riꞌ pa junamam xqachomaj keꞌqataq bꞌik e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kukꞌ ri e loqꞌalaj taq qachalal Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Pablo.
it hath seemed fit to us, assembled unanimously, to send unto you select men with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Ri e qachalal riꞌ kiyoꞌm ri kikꞌaslemal chupatanixik ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
men who have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Xeꞌqataq bꞌik ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas chuqꞌalajisaxik ri xqachomaj, rumal rech ri kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ xibꞌan loq.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, and they by word of mouth will tell you the same things.
28 Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ ri uj man kaqaj taj kaqaya eqaꞌn chiꞌwij xaq xwi kaqaj kibꞌan we xqatzꞌibꞌaj bꞌik chiꞌwe:
For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay upon you no other burden except these things which are of absolute necessity;
29 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.
that ye abstain from eating whatever is sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from whoredom: from which things carefully preserving yourselves, ye shall do well. Farewell.
30 Aninaq xebꞌe ri taqoꞌn pa ri tinimit Antioquía, chilaꞌ xeꞌkimulij wi ri kojonelabꞌ, xkijach chike ri wuj ri xya bꞌik chike.
They then being thus dispatched, came to Antioch: and assembling the multitude, they delivered the letter:
31 Xekiꞌkot ri e kojonelabꞌ are xsikꞌix ri wuj ri xtaq bꞌik chike.
and when they had read it, they rejoiced in the consolation of it.
32 Ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, naj xetzijon kukꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
Then Judas and Silas, being also themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren, in many a discourse, and established them.
33 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.
And having stayed their time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren to the apostles.
34 /Ri Silas kꞌut xraj xkanaj kan chilaꞌ./
However Silas thought proper to abide there.
35 Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xekanaj kan pa ri tinimit Antioquía. Xkitzijoj xuqujeꞌ xkikꞌut ri utzij ri Dios. E kꞌi winaq xuqujeꞌ je xkibꞌano.
Paul also and Barnabas abode at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others also, the word of the Lord.
36 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.
Then after certain days said Paul to Barnabas, Let us now return and visit our brethren in every city among whom we have preached the word of the Lord, that we may see how they hold on.
37 Are kꞌu ri Bernabé xraj xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos kukꞌ.
Now Barnabas had resolved to take with him John, whose surname is Mark.
38 Ri Pablo man xraj ta wi, rumal chi ri Juan Marcos xutas kan ribꞌ chike pa ri tinimit Panfilia, man xchakun ta chi kukꞌ.
But Paul did not think him a fit person to take with them, who had withdrawn from them from Pamphylia, and no longer went with them to the service.
39 Man xukꞌulaj ta kꞌu ribꞌ ri kichomanik rumal riꞌ xkijach kibꞌ. Ri Bernabé xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos, xeꞌ pa Chipre.
So there grew up a sudden quarrel, insomuch that they separated from each other: and Barnabas, taking Mark with him, sailed away to Cyprus:
40 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.
but Paul selecting Silas, departed, being commended by the brethren to the favour of God.
41 Xikꞌow pa ronojel Siria xuqujeꞌ Cilicia, xuꞌtaqchiꞌj kan konojel ri kojonelabꞌ rech kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
