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 men who came down from Judea, taught the brethren, [and said], Except ye be circumcised after the manner 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
6 Xkimulij kꞌu kibꞌ ri taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe chuchomaxik rij we jastaq riꞌ.
And the apostles and elders came together 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.
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.
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 knoweth the hearts, bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, even as [he did] to us:
9 Ri Dios xuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri kanimaꞌ rumal ri kikojobꞌal, ri Dios man xaq xwi ta xujuchaꞌ uj xane xuchaꞌ xuqujeꞌ areꞌ.
And put no difference between us and 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?
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?
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 through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we shall be saved even 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 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.
13 Are xetoꞌtaj chutzijoxik ri xkꞌulmatajik, xtakꞌiꞌ ri Jacobo kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Chitampe na, qachalal.
And after they held their peace, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hearken to 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.
Simeon hath declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take from among 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 to this agree 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 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:
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 seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Known to God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 Rumal laꞌ kinbꞌij in chi man kuya taj keꞌqaqꞌatej ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel kekojon che ri Dios.
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, who from among the Gentiles are 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 idols, and [from] lewdness, and [from] things 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 of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
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 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:
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.
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.
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 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:
25 Rumal riꞌ pa junamam xqachomaj keꞌqataq bꞌik e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kukꞌ ri e loqꞌalaj taq qachalal Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Pablo.
It seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul:
26 Ri e qachalal riꞌ kiyoꞌm ri kikꞌaslemal chupatanixik ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
Men that 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, who will also tell [you] the same things by mouth.
28 Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ ri uj man kaqaj taj kaqaya eqaꞌn chiꞌwij xaq xwi kaqaj kibꞌan we xqatzꞌibꞌaj bꞌik chiꞌwe:
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
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 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.
30 Aninaq xebꞌe ri taqoꞌn pa ri tinimit Antioquía, chilaꞌ xeꞌkimulij wi ri kojonelabꞌ, xkijach chike ri wuj ri xya bꞌik chike.
So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had convened the multitude, they delivered the epistle.
31 Xekiꞌkot ri e kojonelabꞌ are xsikꞌix ri wuj ri xtaq bꞌik chike.
[Which] when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, naj xetzijon kukꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed [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 after they had tarried [there] a time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren to the apostles.
34 /Ri Silas kꞌut xraj xkanaj kan chilaꞌ./
Notwithstanding, it pleased Silas to abide there still.
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 continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
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.
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.
37 Are kꞌu ri Bernabé xraj xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos kukꞌ.
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was 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 thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 Man xukꞌulaj ta kꞌu ribꞌ ri kichomanik rumal riꞌ xkijach kibꞌ. Ri Bernabé xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos, xeꞌ pa Chipre.
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.
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.
And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 Xikꞌow pa ronojel Siria xuqujeꞌ Cilicia, xuꞌtaqchiꞌj kan konojel ri kojonelabꞌ rech kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
