Orekma 15
1 Oasr kutu mwet tuku liki acn Judea nu Antioch, ac mutawauk in luti mwet lulalfongi uh ac fahk, “Kowos fin tia kosrkosrla oana ke fwackyak in Ma Sap lal Moses, kowos tia ku in moliyukla.”
Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
2 Paul ac Barnabas akukuin na upa nu selos kac, ouinge wotla mu Paul, Barnabas ac kutu mwet in Antioch in som nu Jerusalem ac osun yurin mwet sap ac mwet kol lun church we ke sripa se inge.
And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.
3 Mwet in church supwalosla, ac ke elos fahsr sasla Phoenicia ac Samaria elos srumun lah mwet pegan elos forla nu sin God. Pweng se inge arulana akenganye mwet lulalfongi nukewa.
Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.
4 Ke elos sun acn Jerusalem, mwet in church we ac mwet sap ac mwet kol lun church elos paingulos, na elos fahkak ma nukewa God El tuh kasrelos in oru.
On their arrival in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and apostles and elders, to whom they reported all that God had done through them.
5 Tusruktu kutu mwet lulalfongi ma wi u lun mwet Pharisee elos tuyak ac fahk, “Mwet pegan elos enenu na in kosrkosrla, ac kowos in lotelos tuh elos in akos Ma Sap lal Moses.”
But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and declared, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”
6 Mwet sap ac mwet kol uh elos tukeni nu sie in nunku ke ma se inge.
So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.
7 Tukun elos sramsram kac ke pacl na loes, Peter el tuyak ac fahk, “Mwet lili luk, kowos etu na lah God El tuh suleyula inmasrlowos ke pacl na loes somla, tuh nga in fahkak ke Pweng Wo nu sin mwet pegan, tuh elos in ku in lohng ac lulalfongi.
After much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you that the Gentiles would hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.
8 Ac God, su etu nunak lun mwet nukewa, El akkalemye lah oasr insewowo lal yurin mwet pegan ke El sang Ngun Mutal nu selos, oana ke El tuh ase nu sesr.
And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.
9 El tia oru mu oasr ekla inmasrlolos ac kut, a ke sripen elos lulalfongi, El aknasnasyalos liki ma koluk lalos.
He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.
10 Na inge, efu ku kowos ke srike God ke kowos filiya sie ma toasr nu fin mwet lulalfongi uh, su mwet matu lasr ac kut sifacna tia ku in us?
Now then, why do you test God by placing on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear?
11 Mo! Kut lulalfongi ac moliyukla ke sripen kulang lun Leum Jesus, oapana elos.”
On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
12 U nufon sac mislana ke Barnabas ac Paul srumun ma usrnguk nukewa ac mwenmen ma God El oru kacltal inmasrlon mwet pegan.
The whole assembly fell silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul describing the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
13 Ke eltal kaskas tari, na James el kasla ac fahk, “Mwet lili luk, kowos porongeyu!
When they had finished speaking, James declared, “Brothers, listen to me!
14 Simon el tufahna aketeya nu sesr luman nunak lun God nu sin mwet pegan uh, ke El eisla kutu selos tuh elos in mwet lal.
Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.
15 Kas lun mwet palu arulana akkeye nunak se inge. Oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk,
The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:
16 ‘Leum God El fahk, Tukun ma inge nga ac fah sifil foloko, Ac sifil tulokunak Tokosrai lal David. Nga fah sifil musaela acn ma musalla kac ah, Ac oru tuh in ku oana meet ah.
‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,
17 Ouinge mwet lula nukewa fah tuku nu yuruk, Ac mwet pegan nukewa su nga pangnolos tuh elos in mwet luk.
so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does these things
that have been known for ages.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Na James el sifilpa fahk, “Nunak luk uh pa kut in tia filiya ma toasr nu fin mwet pegan su forla nu sin God.
It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
20 A kut in simusla sie leta nu selos, ac fahk mu elos in tia kang kutena mwe mongo ma tia nasnas ke sripen kisakinyuk nu ke ma sruloala, oayapa elos in tia kang kutena kosro ma loksakla, ku kutepacna ma oasr srah kac. Ac elos in liyalosyang liki ouiya fohkfok lun orek kosro.
Instead, we should write and tell them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.
21 Tuh ke pacl na loeloes, Ma Sap lal Moses uh ritiyuk in iwen lolngok uh ke len Sabbath nukewa, ac kas lal uh lutiyuk in siti nukewa.”
For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
22 Na mwet sap ac mwet kol uh, wi pac mwet nukewa in church, elos insesela in sulela kutu sin mwet inmasrlolos, ac supwalosla nu Antioch welul Paul ac Barnabas. Elos sulela mwet luo ma yohk akilenya sin mwet lulalfongi uh: elos pa Judas su pangpang Barsabbas, ac Silas.
Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to select men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas called Barsabbas and Silas, two leaders among the brothers,
23 Elos sang leta se inge eltal in us: “Kut, mwet wiowos — mwet sap ac mwet kol in acn se inge — kut lungse paing kowos nukewa su mwet wiasr ma isusla mwet pegan, su muta in siti Antioch, oayapa acn Syria ac Cilicia.
and sent them with this letter: The apostles and the elders, your brothers, To the brothers among the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.
24 Kut lohng tari lah oasr kutu mwet yenu fahsrot akfohsyekowosyak ke kas lalos. Tusruktu tia kut pa supwalos uh.
It has come to our attention that some went out from us without our authorization and unsettled you, troubling your minds by what they said.
25 Ke ma inge kut nukewa aetuila ac insese in sulela kutu mwet in utuk kas lasr nu suwos. Elos ac wi mwet kawuk saok lasr, Barnabas ac Paul,
So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 su tuh pilesrala moul lalos in kulansupu Leum Jesus Christ.
men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Kut supwaot nu suwos mwet inge, Judas ac Silas, su ac fah sifacna fahk nu suwos ma kut simis inge.
Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.
28 Kut, ac Ngun Mutal, tukeni insesela in tia filiya kutena ma toasr fowos sayen Ma Sap ma eneneyuk inge:
It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:
29 Kowos in tia kang kutena mongo ma kisala nu sin ma sruloala, tia mongo srah, tia kang kutena ma loksakla, ac karinginkowosyang liki fohkfok lun orek kosro. Ac fah wo nu suwos kowos fin liyaung ma inge. Lung lulap lasr nu suwos.”
You must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.
30 Mwet utuk kas inge supweyukla, ac elos som nu Antioch, ac elos solani mwet lulalfongi nukewa ac sang leta sac nu selos.
So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.
31 Ke mwet uh riti leta sac, elos arulana engan ke kas in akku ma simla in leta sac.
When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.
32 Judas ac Silas, su oaoa in mwet palu, eltal sramsram paht na yurin mwet lulalfongi, ac akpulaikyalos ac akkeyalos.
Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
33 Tukun eltal muta yorolos ke kutu pacl, na mwet lulalfongi elos supwalosla in misla, ac elos folokla nu yurin mwet ma supwalosme ah. [
After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.
34 Tusruktu Silas el sulela elan muta we.]
35 Paul ac Barnabas eltal muta Antioch ke kutu pacl, ac eltal wi mwet puspis in acn we luti ac fahkak kas lun Leum.
But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.
36 Kutu pacl tok, Paul el fahk nu sel Barnabas, “Kut folokla ac liye mwet lulalfongi wiasr in siti nukewa ma kut fahkak kas lun Leum we, ac liye lah elos fuka in pacl inge.”
Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the brothers in every town where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
37 Barnabas el lungse usal John Mark welultal,
Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.
38 tuh Paul el tiana nunku mu ac wo elan wi, mweyen el tuh tia welultal aksafyela fahsr se meet laltal ah, a el forla ac folokla Pamphylia lac.
But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.
39 Oasr sie akukuin na upa inmasrloltal, na eltal fahsrelik. Barnabas el eisal Mark, ac kal som nu Cyprus,
Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus,
40 a Paul el sulella Silas ac som. Ac mwet lulalfongi elos eisaltalang tuh kulang lun Leum in karinganulos.
but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
41 Paul el fahsr sasla acn Syria ac Cilicia, ac akkeye mwet in church we.
And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
