Wiawia 15
1 A AKAI me kodido sang Iudäa, ap padaki ong saulang kan: Ma komail sota sirkomsais duen tiak en Moses, komail sota pan kak maurela.
And certain men came down from Judea, and taught the brethren, saying: Unless you be circumcised, according to the custom of Moses, you can not be saved.
2 A irail lao liak toror pasang o akakamai ong Paulus o Parnapas, re ap inauki pena, me Paulus i Parnapas, o pil akai irail en kotidalang Ierusalem ren wanporon o saunkoa kan pweki mepukat.
Therefore, after Paul and Barnabas had no little dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others from among them, should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.
3 Momodisou ap likid ir wei lao ekis wasa. Irail ap weweid nan Pönisien o Samaria o kasokasoiada duen en men liki ar wukila. Irail ari kaperenda melel saulang kan karos.
Being, therefore, con ducted on their journey by the church, they passed through Phenicia and Samaria, making known the conversion of the Gentiles; and they gave great joy to all the brethren.
4 Irail lao lel Ierusalem, momodisou o wanporon, o saunkoa kan ap kasamo ir. Irail ap katitiki meakan, me Kot kotin wiaki irail er.
When they arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and the apostles and elders, and they declared all that God had done with them.
5 A akai kisan pwin en Parisär, me saulangalar, me uda indada: Me pung, en sirkomsais ir ala, o kapi ong irail, en wiawia kapung en Moses.
But some of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, arose, saying, that it was necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 A wanporon o saunkoa kan pokon pena, pwen kaparok duen met.
And the apostles and elders came together to deliberate about this matter.
7 Irail lao kapukapung pena warailar, Petrus ap kotida masani ong irail: Ri ai kan, komail asa, me mas o Kot kotin pil ia dar sang nan pung omail, pwe men liki kan en ronga sang nan au ai masan en rongamau o posonla.
And after there had been much disputing, Peter arose, and said to them: Brethren, you know that, at the beginning, God made choice among us, that, by my mouth, the Gentiles should hear the word of the Gospel, and believe.
8 A Kot me kotin ereki mongiong en aramas, kotin kadede irail o kotiki ong irail Ngen saraui dueta kitail,
And God, who knows the heart, became a witness for them, by giving them the Holy Spirit, as he gave it also to us;
9 O a sota kotin wiada irair eu nan pung en kitail o irail ni a kotin kamakel mongiong arail ki poson.
and he made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Ari, da me komail kasongesongki Kot, en kidang pon pop en tounpadak kan lopu eu, me sam atail akan o pil kitail sota kak wa.
Now, therefore, why do you put God to the proof, by placing a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers, nor we ourselves, were able to bear?
11 A kitail kin kamekamelele, me kitail pan kamaureki mak en Kaun Iesus Kristus dueta irail.
But we believe that we shall be saved, even as they, through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
12 A pokon o nenenlata o rongerong en Parnapas i Paulus ara katiti duen manaman oko o kilel kai, me Kot kotin wia kidar lim ara nan pung en men liki kan.
Then all the multitude kept silence, and listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they made known what signs and wonders God had done by them among the Gentiles.
13 Irail lao nenenlar, Iakopus ap kaparok masanida: Ri ai kan komail rong ia!
And after they were silent, James answered and said: Brethren, hear me;
14 Simon me kasoiada duen en Kot a kotin pwara dong men liki kan ni tapi o pwen pili sang irail kainok eu ong mar a.
Simeon has declared how God, at the first, did visit the Gentiles, in order to take out from among them a people for his name.
15 Pwe iduen masan en saukop akan duen a intingidi:
And with this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 Murin mepukat I pan puredo o kawiliakapada im en Dawid, me rongki pasanger, o pur ong kauada wasa me olar.
After this I will return, and build again the tabernacle of David which has fallen down; and I will build again its ruins, and I will set it up;
17 Pwe luan aramas akan en raparapaki Kaun o, pil men liki kan, me wan ad ai, iei me Kaun o masaniadar, me kin kotin wiawia.
that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name has been called, says the Lord, who does all these things.
Known to God from eternity are all bis works. (aiōn g165)
19 Ari iet me i kasauiada, kitail ender katoutoui irail me wuki ong Kot sang ren men liki kan.
For these reasons, my judgment is, that we give no trouble to those who, from among the Gentiles, have turned to God;
20 A sen intinge wong irail, ren liki sang kasaut en kot mal akan, o nenek, o man mopelar akan, o nta.
but that we write to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from lewdness, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Pwe sang mas kokodo saunkawewe en Moses kin mi nan kanim karos, pwe re kin padapadak duen i nan sinakoke kan ni ran en sapat akan karos.
For, from ancient times, Moses has, in every city, those who preach him, being read in the synagogue every sabbath-day.
22 Wanporon o saunkoa kan, o momodisou ap maukidar, en pilada ol akai sang ar pokon o porone ira wei iang Paulus i Parnapas, en kotila Antiokien: Iudas, me pil ad a Parnapas o Silas, ol pukat, me kaun pan saulang kan.
Then it pleased the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, chosen men from among themselves; Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren;
23 A iet eten, me re intingiedier ap kadar wong irail: Iet kit wanporon o saunkoa kan o saulang kan kadar wong komail, ri at akan, me ko sang ren men liki kan nan Antiokien, o Sirien, o Sisilia at ranamau.
and they wrote by their hands as follows: The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
24 Aki at ronger, me akai, me koiei sang re at, kin kaponepone kin ngen omail ar padak kan ni ar kasapunge komail lar indada: Komail en sirkomsais o kapwaiada kapung o; a se sota ki ong irail kusoned akan.
Inasmuch as we have heard that certain persons went out from us and troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, That you must be circumcised, and keep the law, to whom we gave no commandment,
25 Kit ap wiaki eu ni at maukidar en piladar ol akai, ap kadar wong komail iangaki kompoke pat Parnapas o Paulus.
it has seemed good to us, having come together with one mind, to send chosen men to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Ol oko me tonmeteki maur ara ong mar en Kaun Iesus Kristus.
men who have endangered their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Kit ari kadar wei Iudas o Silas, me pil pan kasoi ong komail mepukat.
We have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, who will tell you the same things in word.
28 Pwe Ngen saraui o kit kin kupukupura, me mau, se ender ki ong komail eu lopu; mepukat eta me kasampwal:
For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:
29 Komail liki sang uduk, me mairong ong kot likam, o nta, o man mopelar, o nenek. Ma komail liki sang mepukat, nan komail kin wiawia me mau. Ran kaselel!
That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from lewdness; from which if you keep yourselves carefully, you will do well. Farewell.
30 Irail lao pakadarala, ap kotilang Antiokien, re ap kapokon ir pena, ki ong irail kisin likau o.
So when these men were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and having assembled the multitude, they delivered this letter.
31 Irail lao wadoker, ap peren kidar kamait parail.
When they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation which it gave.
32 A Iudas i Silas, me pil saukop oko panaui kin saulang kan kasoi toto o pil katinai ir ada.
And Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and strengthened them.
33 Irail mi wasa o lao ran akai, ap pakadarala popol sang ren saulang kan, pwe ren kola ren me kadar ira ala.
And after spending some time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren, to those who had sent them.
But it pleased Silas to remain there.
35 A Paulus i Parnapas kotikoteta Antiokien, kawewedar o padapadaki masan en Kaun o, o me toto pil iang.
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
36 Kadekadeo murin ran akai Paulus masani on Parnapas: Kita pan purela ren saulang kan, me mi kanim akan, wasa kita padakier duen masan en Kaun o, o kalekalelapok due’rail.
And, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, let us return, and visit our brethren in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
37 A Parnapas men ukada Ioanes, me pil ad a Markus.
And Barnabas determined to take with him John, whose surname was Mark.
38 A Paulus kupura, me a sota mau, ira en ukada i, me muei sang ira nan Pampilien o solar iang ira kolang dodok.
But Paul did not think it proper to take with them him who had departed from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work.
39 Ira ari akamai pena lao ira muei pasang. Parnapas ari ukada Markus tanga wong Sipern.
There was, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they separated from each other: and Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus.
40 Paulus piladar Silas ap kotila. A saulang kan mueidela ira ni mak en Kot.
But Paul chose Silas, and departed, having been commended to the grace of God by the brethren.
41 I ari kakan sili nan Sirien o Silisia katinada momodisou kan.
And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
