When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command [them] to keep the law of Moses.
6 Tîrtonngei le upangei, ha roi hah jêk rangin an intûpa.
And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
7 Asôt tak an inkhal suo nûkin Peter ândinga, “Sûngsuokngei, Jentailngei Pathien chong an rieta, an iem theina ranga Thurchi Sa misîr pe ngei ranga nin lâi renga tien renga Pathien'n mi zen ani ti hah nin riet.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how 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 Mitin mindona rietpu Pathien'n ei kôm mi pêk anghan Jentailngei khom Ratha Inthieng pêk sân a khôk tiin ânlanga.
And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as [he did] unto us;
9 Eini le anni sensâi loiin, an iem sikin an sietnangei a ngâidam zoia.
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Masikin, ei richibulngei le eini pêl zoi khâiloi puok hah atûna hin iempungei chunga mokhop pe rang bôkin irang mo Pathien nin minsin hi?
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 Ni mak! Anni ngei angdênin eini khom Pumapa Jisua iema moroina han Sanminring ei ni,” a tia.
But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men [and] brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Pathien'n ama riming ruput ranga anni ngei lâia ni lâk suok rangin Jentailngei a juong pan phut roi Simon'n a misîr zoia.
Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 Ha chong le dêipungei chong hi ântok thap ani. Pathien lekhabu'n,
And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 ‘Masuole, Pumapa han kîr nôk ka ta David omna rêngram achim hah minding nôk ki tih. a sietnangei sin nôk ka ta male mindet nôk ki tih.
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 Male mi murdi ngei le Jentailngei, Ki mi niranga ko koi ngei nâm Jentailngei ko kôm hong an ta.
That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 “Masikin Jacob'n, mahi ki mindon chu ani. Jentailngei Pathien tienga hong inlet ngei chu minjêl no ila.
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.

Then pleased it 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:

Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which 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:

It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 mirmilngei biekna sâkruo sâk no roi, thisen sâk no roi, sâ sômthat sâk no roi, hur le ngal renga inkêm roi. Hi ngei hih tho tet loi rangin nin indîn theiin chu nin ta rangin sa ok atih, chibai” tiin.
