And certain ones, descending from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”

Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas made no small uprising against them, they decided that Paul and Barnabas, and some from the opposing side, should go up to the Apostles and priests in Jerusalem concerning this question.

Therefore, being led by the church, they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy among all the brothers.

And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the Apostles and the elders, reporting what great things God had done with them.
5 ཀིནྟུ ཝིཤྭཱསིནཿ ཀིཡནྟཿ ཕིརཱུཤིམཏགྲཱཧིཎོ ལོཀཱ ཨུཏྠཱཡ ཀཐཱམེཏཱཾ ཀཐིཏཝནྟོ བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཏྭཀྪེདཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ མཱུསཱཝྱཝསྠཱཾ པཱལཡིཏུཉྩ སམཱདེཥྚཝྱམ྄།
But some from the sect of the Pharisees, those who were believers, rose up saying, “It is necessary for them to be circumcised and to be instructed to keep the Law of Moses.”
6 ཏཏཿ པྲེརིཏཱ ལོཀཔྲཱཙཱིནཱཤྩ ཏསྱ ཝིཝེཙནཱཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ སབྷཱཡཱཾ སྠིཏཝནྟཿ།
And the Apostles and elders came together to take care of this matter.
7 བཧུཝིཙཱརེཥུ ཛཱཏཥུ པིཏར ཨུཏྠཱཡ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, ཧེ བྷྲཱཏརོ ཡཐཱ བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱ མམ མུཁཱཏ྄ སུསཾཝཱདཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཝིཤྭསནྟི ཏདརྠཾ བཧུདིནཱཏ྄ པཱུཪྻྭམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརོསྨཱཀཾ མདྷྱེ མཱཾ ཝྲྀཏྭཱ ནིཡུཀྟཝཱན྄།
And after a great contention had taken place, Peter rose up and said to them: “Noble brothers, you know that, in recent days, God has chosen from among us, by my mouth, Gentiles to hear the word of the Gospel and to believe.
8 ཨནྟཪྻྱཱམཱིཤྭརོ ཡཐཱསྨབྷྱཾ ཏཐཱ བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡེབྷྱཿ པཝིཏྲམཱཏྨཱནཾ པྲདཱཡ ཝིཤྭཱསེན ཏེཥཱམ྄ ཨནྟཿཀརཎཱནི པཝིཏྲཱཎི ཀྲྀཏྭཱ
And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us.
9 ཏེཥཱམ྄ ཨསྨཱཀཉྩ མདྷྱེ ཀིམཔི ཝིཤེཥཾ ན སྠཱཔཡིཏྭཱ ཏཱནདྷི སྭཡཾ པྲམཱཎཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི ཡཱུཡཾ ཛཱནཱིཐ།
And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 ཨཏཨེཝཱསྨཱཀཾ པཱུཪྻྭཔུརུཥཱ ཝཡཉྩ སྭཡཾ ཡདྱུགསྱ བྷཱརཾ སོཌྷུཾ ན ཤཀྟཱཿ སམྤྲཏི ཏཾ ཤིཥྱགཎསྱ སྐནྡྷེཥུ ནྱསིཏུཾ ཀུཏ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ པརཱིཀྵཱཾ ཀརིཥྱཐ?
Now therefore, why do you tempt God to impose a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 པྲབྷོ ཪྻཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚསྱཱནུགྲཧེཎ ཏེ ཡཐཱ ཝཡམཔི ཏཐཱ པརིཏྲཱཎཾ པྲཱཔྟུམ྄ ཨཱཤཱཾ ཀུརྨྨཿ།
But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them.”
12 ཨནནྟརཾ བརྞབྦཱཔཽལཱབྷྱཱམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརོ བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ མདྷྱེ ཡདྱད྄ ཨཱཤྩཪྻྱམ྄ ཨདྦྷུཏཉྩ ཀརྨྨ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄ ཏདྭྲྀཏྟཱནྟཾ ཏཽ སྭམུཁཱབྷྱཱམ྄ ཨཝརྞཡཏཱཾ སབྷཱསྠཱཿ སཪྻྭེ ནཱིརཝཱཿ སནྟཿ ཤྲུཏཝནྟཿ།
Then the entire multitude was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul, describing what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
13 ཏཡོཿ ཀཐཱཡཱཾ སམཱཔྟཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ ཡཱཀཱུབ྄ ཀཐཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཱརབྡྷཝཱན྄
And after they had been silent, James responded by saying: “Noble brothers, listen to me.

Simon has explained in what manner God first visited, so as to take from the Gentiles a people to his name.
15 བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདིབྷིརུཀྟཱནི ཡཱནི ཝཱཀྱཱནི ཏཻཿ སཱརྡྡྷམ྄ ཨེཏསྱཻཀྱཾ བྷཝཏི ཡཐཱ ལིཁིཏམཱསྟེ།
And the words of the Prophets are in agreement with this, just as it was written:
16 སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ ཀརྨྨཎཱཾ ཡསྟུ སཱདྷཀཿ པརམེཤྭརཿ། ས ཨེཝེདཾ ཝདེདྭཱཀྱཾ ཤེཥཱཿ སཀལམཱནཝཱཿ། བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱཤྩ ཡཱཝནྟོ མམ ནཱམཏཿ། བྷཝནྟི ཧི སུཝིཁྱཱཏཱསྟེ ཡཐཱ པརམེཤིཏུཿ།
‘After these things, I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down. And I will rebuild its ruins, and I will raise it up,
17 ཏཏྭཾ སམྱཀ྄ སམཱིཧནྟེ ཏནྣིམིཏྟམཧཾ ཀིལ། པརཱཝྲྀཏྱ སམཱགཏྱ དཱཡཱུདཿ པཏིཏཾ པུནཿ། དཱུཥྱམུཏྠཱཔཡིཥྱཱམི ཏདཱིཡཾ སཪྻྭཝསྟུ ཙ། པཏིཏཾ པུནརུཐཱཔྱ སཛྫཡིཥྱཱམི སཪྻྭཐཱ༎
so that the rest of men may seek the Lord, along with all the nations over whom my name has been invoked, says the Lord, who does these things.’
To the Lord, his own work has been known from eternity. (aiōn g165)
19 ཨཏཨེཝ མམ ནིཝེདནམིདཾ བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱནཱཾ མདྷྱེ ཡེ ཛནཱ ཨཱིཤྭརཾ པྲཏི པརཱཝརྟྟནྟ ཏེཥཱམུཔརི ཨནྱཾ ཀམཔི བྷཱརཾ ན ནྱསྱ
Because of this, I judge that those who were converted to God from among the Gentiles are not to be disturbed,
20 དེཝཏཱཔྲསཱདཱཤུཙིབྷཀྵྱཾ ཝྱབྷིཙཱརཀརྨྨ ཀཎྛསམྤཱིཌནམཱརིཏཔྲཱཎིབྷཀྵྱཾ རཀྟབྷཀྵྱཉྩ ཨེཏཱནི པརིཏྱཀྟུཾ ལིཁཱམཿ།
but instead that we write to them, that they should keep themselves from the defilement of idols, and from fornication, and from whatever has been suffocated, and from blood.
21 ཡཏཿ པཱུཪྻྭཀཱལཏོ མཱུསཱཝྱཝསྠཱཔྲཙཱརིཎོ ལོཀཱ ནགརེ ནགརེ སནྟི པྲཏིཝིཤྲཱམཝཱརཉྩ བྷཛནབྷཝནེ ཏསྱཱཿ པཱཋོ བྷཝཏི།
For Moses, from ancient times, has had in each city those who preach him in the synagogues, where he is read on every Sabbath.”
22 ཏཏཿ པརཾ པྲེརིཏགཎོ ལོཀཔྲཱཙཱིནགཎཿ སཪྻྭཱ མཎྜལཱི ཙ སྭེཥཱཾ མདྷྱེ བརྴབྦཱ ནཱམྣཱ ཝིཁྱཱཏོ མནོནཱིཏཽ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ པཽལབརྞབྦཱབྷྱཱཾ སཱརྡྡྷམ྄ ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱནགརཾ པྲཏི པྲེཥཎམ྄ ཨུཙིཏཾ བུདྡྷྭཱ ཏཱབྷྱཱཾ པཏྲཾ པྲཻཥཡན྄།
Then it pleased the Apostles and elders, with the whole Church, to choose men from among them, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, and Judas, who was surnamed Barsabbas, and Silas, preeminent men among the brothers,
23 ཏསྨིན྄ པཏྲེ ལིཁིཏམིཾད, ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱ-སུརིཡཱ-ཀིལིཀིཡཱདེཤསྠབྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡབྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎཱཡ པྲེརིཏགཎསྱ ལོཀཔྲཱཙཱིནགཎསྱ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎསྱ ཙ ནམསྐཱརཿ།
what was written by their own hands: “The Apostles and elders, brothers, to those who are at Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, brothers from the Gentiles, greetings.
24 ཝིཤེཥཏོ྅སྨཱཀམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱམ྄ ཨཔྲཱཔྱཱཔི ཀིཡནྟོ ཛནཱ ཨསྨཱཀཾ མདྷྱཱད྄ གཏྭཱ ཏྭཀྪེདོ མཱུསཱཝྱཝསྠཱ ཙ པཱལཡིཏཝྱཱཝིཏི ཡུཥྨཱན྄ ཤིཀྵཡིཏྭཱ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ མནསཱམསྠཻཪྻྱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ སསནྡེཧཱན྄ ཨཀུཪྻྭན྄ ཨེཏཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཝཡམ྄ ཨཤྲྀནྨ།
Since we have heard that some, going out from among us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no commandment,
25 ཏཏྐཱརཎཱད྄ ཝཡམ྄ ཨེཀམནྟྲཎཱཿ སནྟཿ སབྷཱཡཱཾ སྠིཏྭཱ པྲབྷོ ཪྻཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ ནཱམནིམིཏྟཾ མྲྀཏྱུམུཁགཏཱབྷྱཱམསྨཱཀཾ
it pleased us, being assembled as one, to choose men and to send them to you, with our most beloved Barnabas and Paul:
26 པྲིཡབརྞབྦཱཔཽལཱབྷྱཱཾ སཱརྡྡྷཾ མནོནཱིཏལོཀཱནཱཾ ཀེཥཱཉྩིད྄ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ སནྣིདྷཽ པྲེཥཎམ྄ ཨུཙིཏཾ བུདྡྷཝནྟཿ།
men who have handed over their lives on behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 ཨཏོ ཡིཧཱུདཱསཱིལཽ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ པྲཏི པྲེཥིཏཝནྟཿ, ཨེཏཡོ རྨུཁཱབྷྱཱཾ སཪྻྭཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཛྙཱསྱཐ།
Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, with the spoken word, reaffirm to you the same things.
28 དེཝཏཱཔྲསཱདབྷཀྵྱཾ རཀྟབྷཀྵྱཾ གལཔཱིཌནམཱརིཏཔྲཱཎིབྷཀྵྱཾ ཝྱབྷིཙཱརཀརྨྨ ཙེམཱནི སཪྻྭཱཎི ཡུཥྨཱབྷིསྟྱཱཛྱཱནི; ཨེཏཏྤྲཡོཛནཱིཡཱཛྙཱཝྱཏིརེཀེན ཡུཥྨཱཀམ྄ ཨུཔརི བྷཱརམནྱཾ ན ནྱསིཏུཾ པཝིཏྲསྱཱཏྨནོ྅སྨཱཀཉྩ ཨུཙིཏཛྙཱནམ྄ ཨབྷཝཏ྄།
For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose no further burden upon you, other than these necessary things:
29 ཨཏཨེཝ ཏེབྷྱཿ སཪྻྭེབྷྱཿ སྭེཥུ རཀྵིཏེཥུ ཡཱུཡཾ བྷདྲཾ ཀརྨྨ ཀརིཥྱཐ། ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ མངྒལཾ བྷཱུཡཱཏ྄།
that you abstain from things immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication. You will do well to keep yourselves from these things. Farewell.”
30 ཏེ ཝིསྲྀཥྚཱཿ སནྟ ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱནགར ཨུཔསྠཱཡ ལོཀནིཝཧཾ སཾགྲྀཧྱ པཏྲམ྄ ཨདདན྄།
And so, having been dismissed, they went down to Antioch. And gathering the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
31 ཏཏསྟེ ཏཏྤཏྲཾ པཋིཏྭཱ སཱནྟྭནཱཾ པྲཱཔྱ སཱནནྡཱ ཨབྷཝན྄།
And when they had read it, they were gladdened by this consolation.
32 ཡིཧཱུདཱསཱིལཽ ཙ སྭཡཾ པྲཙཱརཀཽ བྷཱུཏྭཱ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎཾ ནཱནོཔདིཤྱ ཏཱན྄ སུསྠིརཱན྄ ཨཀུརུཏཱམ྄།
But Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves, consoled the brothers with many words, and they were strengthened.
33 ཨིཏྠཾ ཏཽ ཏཏྲ ཏཻཿ སཱཀཾ ཀཏིཔཡདིནཱནི ཡཱཔཡིཏྭཱ པཤྩཱཏ྄ པྲེརིཏཱནཱཾ སམཱིཔེ པྲཏྱཱགམནཱརྠཾ ཏེཥཱཾ སནྣིདྷེཿ ཀལྱཱཎེན ཝིསྲྀཥྚཱཝབྷཝཏཱཾ།
Then, after spending some more time there, they were dismissed with peace, by the brothers, to those who had sent them.
34 ཀིནྟུ སཱིལསྟཏྲ སྠཱཏུཾ ཝཱཉྪིཏཝཱན྄།
But it seemed good to Silas to remain there. So Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
35 ཨཔརཾ པཽལབརྞབྦཽ བཧཝཿ ཤིཥྱཱཤྩ ལོཀཱན྄ ཨུཔདིཤྱ པྲབྷོཿ སུསཾཝཱདཾ པྲཙཱརཡནྟ ཨཱནྟིཡཁིཡཱཡཱཾ ཀཱལཾ ཡཱཔིཏཝནྟཿ།
And Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, with many others, teaching and evangelizing the Word of the Lord.
36 ཀཏིཔཡདིནེཥུ གཏེཥུ པཽལོ བརྞབྦཱམ྄ ཨཝདཏ྄ ཨཱགཙྪཱཝཱཾ ཡེཥུ ནགརེཥྭཱིཤྭརསྱ སུསཾཝཱདཾ པྲཙཱརིཏཝནྟཽ ཏཱནི སཪྻྭནགརཱཎི པུནརྒཏྭཱ བྷྲཱཏརཿ ཀཱིདྲྀཤཱཿ སནྟཱིཏི དྲཥྚུཾ ཏཱན྄ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ཀུཪྻྭཿ།
Then, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return to visit the brothers throughout all the cities in which we have preached the Word of the Lord, to see how they are.”
37 ཏེན མཱརྐནཱམྣཱ ཝིཁྱཱཏཾ ཡོཧནཾ སངྒིནཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ བརྞབྦཱ མཏིམཀརོཏ྄,
And Barnabas wanted to take John, who was surnamed Mark, with them also.
38 ཀིནྟུ ས པཱུཪྻྭཾ ཏཱབྷྱཱཾ སཧ ཀཱཪྻྱཱརྠཾ ན གཏྭཱ པཱམྥཱུལིཡཱདེཤེ ཏཽ ཏྱཀྟཝཱན྄ ཏཏྐཱརཎཱཏ྄ པཽལསྟཾ སངྒིནཾ ཀརྟྟུམ྄ ཨནུཙིཏཾ ཛྙཱཏཝཱན྄།
But Paul was saying that he ought not to be received, since he withdrew from them at Pamphylia, and he had not gone with them in the work.
39 ཨིཏྠཾ ཏཡོརཏིཤཡཝིརོདྷསྱོཔསྠིཏཏྭཱཏ྄ ཏཽ པརསྤརཾ པྲྀཐགབྷཝཏཱཾ ཏཏོ བརྞབྦཱ མཱརྐཾ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ པོཏེན ཀུཔྲོཔདྭཱིཔཾ གཏཝཱན྄;
And there occurred a dissension, to such an extent that they departed from one another. And Barnabas, indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
40 ཀིནྟུ པཽལཿ སཱིལཾ མནོནཱིཏཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ བྷྲཱཏྲྀབྷིརཱིཤྭརཱནུགྲཧེ སམརྤིཏཿ སན྄ པྲསྠཱཡ
Yet truly, Paul, choosing Silas, set out, being delivered by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 སུརིཡཱཀིལིཀིཡཱདེཤཱབྷྱཱཾ མཎྜལཱིཿ སྠིརཱིཀུཪྻྭན྄ ཨགཙྪཏ྄།
And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Churches, instructing them to keep the precepts of the Apostles and the elders.
