1 Nyi meegonv Judia lokv Antiok lo aanya toku okv mvngjwngnv vdwa tamsar sarab toku, “Nonu Moses gv Pvbv aingbv ayakmvu sudubv rinya mabolo nonuv ringnama paamare.”
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 okv Barnabas bunyi so gv lvgabv bunua lvkobv achialvbv larmi sunya toku, vkvlvgabv Paul okv Barnabas okv Antiok gv nyi meegonv Jerusalem lo vngla okv Apostol vdwa okv nyigagatv vdwgv lvkobv soogv raagv dvnam sum kaarung svgo vla japmi sunya toku.
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 Gvrja lokv bunua kanam toku bunuv lamtv lo vngdungto; okv bunu vbv Poenesia okv Samaria bv vngpik nyato, bunua oguaingbv Jentail vdwv Pwknvyarnv gvlo aadu kudw um mimpa kartoku; so yunying ngv mvngjwngnv vdwlo gwlwk jinamv mvnwng ngv achialvbv himpu nyatoku.
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 Vdwlo bunu Jerusalem lo vngchi tokudw, bunua gvrja vdwv alvbv naarwk sinyatoku, Apostol vdwa, okv nyigagatv vdwa, Paul la Barnabas bunyi Pwknvyarnv oguaingbv bunyi am rinv la ripvkudw um japji toku.
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 Vbvritola Parisis apam lokv mvngjwngnv meegonv dakto la okv minto, “Jentail vdwv ayakmvu rirungtoka okv Moses gv Pvbv nga tvvdubv mintoka.”
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 Apostol vdwv okv nyigagatv vdwv so tvvka nam um alv bvju vla kaarwk sunyato.
So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.
7 Achialvbv raakwng minsuro kochingbv Pitar dakrap la minto, “Ngoogv ajin vdwv, nonu chinyado kvvlo gvngv Pwknvyarnv nga nonugv pingko loka goklinto Jentail nyi vdwgvlo Alvnv Yunying nga japji dubv, vkvlvgabv ho bunu tvvria tvla okv mvngjwng dubv.
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 Okv Pwknvyarnv yvvdw nyichar mvnwng gv mvngnam saknama chinv, ngonua rinam aingbv Jentail nyi vdwaka Darwknv Dowa ninyigv jinama kaatam jito.
And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.
9 Hv ngonua okv bunua pingkolo yvvnyika akusubv mvngnam kaama; hv bunugv rimur am mvngnga jipvku ogulvgavbolo bunuka mvngjwngto.
He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.
10 Vbvrikunamv, vjak nonu ogulvgabv mvngjwngnv vdwgv koching lo vge nga tulwk tola Pwknvyarnvnyi ingka dunv vmalo ngonugv abuapa ngvka malo ngonu mvnwng vka um baknyure?
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 Vv makv! Ngonu mvngjwngnam lvgabv okv Ahtu Jisu gv anyuaya ngv ringpv kunv, vbvching bunu nyika rdunv.”
On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
12 Nyitwng dopam mvnwng ngv Barnabas okv Paul bunyi gvlo Pwknvyarnv gv Jentail nyi vdwlo lamrwpadubv okv kaasartabo dubv rinam am bunyi gv mimpa jiku nama tvvriala choibv doonyato.
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 Vdwlo bunu japnya kunam gola, Jems japrapto: “Ngoogv ajin vdwa, nga tvriato!
When they had finished speaking, James declared, “Brothers, listen to me!
14 Saimon vjv mimbwk jigv ibv oguaingbv Pwknvyarnv Jentail nyi vdwa ninyigv chigudabia nga kaatam kunama okv bunua ninyigv nyigvbv laatulake bv naarwk suku nama.
Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.
15 Nyijwk vdwgv gaam vdwv so sum lvkobv tulwk minggvto. Kitap lo vbv mindu,
The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:
16 ‘Ahtu minto, So kochingbv ngo akur riku, okv Dabid gv karv nga lvkodv laakumlaapa riku. Ngo darmwk kunama um mvdin rikunv okv lvkodv um gwlwk dukubv mvdin riku.
‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,
17 Okv vkvlvgabv nyi mvnwng ngv ngo gvlo aariku, Jentail nyi mvnwng vka yvv bunua ngo atubogv bv mvngla gokku nam vdwa.
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 “So si ngoogv mvngnamv,” Jems japdungto, ho ngonu mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnv gvlo aakur kunv “Jentail vdwa ridwkriku jimabv.
It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
20 Vmabvya, ngonuya bunua siti go lvkto kula mimpa lajuka darwkmanv ogugoka dvma bvkv ogulvgavbolo ho vv morti lo jilwknamv; bunua yoomur minsu mabvka; okv svnwngsvmin hoksar nama vmalo oyi am dvma bvkv vla miya lajukv vla minto
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 Moses gv pvbv nga kvvlo lokv Jius kumkunaamlo doonu aludwkibv puri rijikito okv ninyigv gaam nga banggu mvnwnglo japjito.”
For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
22 Vbvrikunamv Apostol vdwvla okv nyigagatv vdwv, Pwknvyarnv gv nyi mvnwng ngv doodum toku, bunugv ajin lokv darlin gvrikula Paul okv Barnabas gv vngkulo Antiok bv vngmu dubv mintoku. Vbvrikunamv mvngjwngnv vdwgv mvngdv kunam nyi anyigo Barnabas vnam Judas nyila Silasnyi darlin toku.
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 Okv bunua siti meego lvkto kula bunua lvkobv vngmu toku: “Ngonu, Apostol okv nyigagatv vdwv, nonugv abwngboru, Jentail doonv Sairia, okv Silisia gv Antiok lo rinyabu vdwa kumrwk sidunv.
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 Ngonugv apam lokv nyi meegonv ngonua vbvkv vla mingkuriku mabv vngla nonua mindwkmingku pvkv vla ngonu tvvpa pvku.
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.

So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Ngonu nonu gvlo vngmure, vbvrikunamv, Judas okv Silas bunyi nonua nyidum bv ngonugv lvknam so apia bv mimpa jire.
Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.
28 Darwknv Dow vla okv ngonu tulwk minsu pvnv so gv ridung aba so gv lvvyalo nonu gvlo oguaingbv adwkaku go lvkmare vla:
It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:
29 Morti lo erinpeelwknam dvnama dvma bvka, oyi dvma bvka; svnwngsvmin hoksar nama dvma bvka; okv nonu atubongv yoomur nyama bvka. Nonu so vdw sum rimabv ribamdobam bolo alvre. Ngonugv ayanam mvnglwk lvkobv doming gvvre.”
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 Gingdung mvnwng ngv vngnya toku okv Antiok lo vngchi nyalaku, hoka bunu mvngjwngnv apam mvnwng ngv dookum tokula okv bunua siti nga jinya toku.
So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.
31 Nyitwng ngv siti nga purila, tamsar doin nga puri ripa tokula, bunu mvnwng ngv himpu punya toku.
When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.
32 Judas okv Silas, bunu atubongvka nyijwk go, bunugv lvkobv mvngchigo japnya la doonyato, bunua mintvmiru jito okv vngdwng mooto.
Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
33 Hoka meego doopi kula koching nga, bunu mvnwng ngv mvngjwngnv lvkobv sarsopoyo pikula okv mvngjwngnv vdwv bunua kanam nvgv dokubv vngkur motoku.
After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.
34 Vbvritola Silas hokaku doodu kubv mvngtoku.
35 Paul okv Barnabas apogo Antiok lo dootoku, okv bunugv lvkobv nyi meegonyi tamsar nyala okv Ahtu gv gaam nga japnyato.
But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.
36 Meego nvgv dw kochingso Paul Barnabasnyi minto, “Kvlai ngonu vngkur lakuju ogolo ngonu Ahtu gv gaam nga banggu mvnwnglo ngonugv mvngjwngnv vdwa japji kunam nga kaakar lakuju, okv kvlai ngonu bunu ogu ripvkudw kaanya lakuju.”
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 Jon Marknyi bunua lvkobv vnggv dubv mvngkato,
Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.

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 Hokaku achialvbv larkwng minsu pikula, okv Barnabas Marknyi svpw lokv Saipras bv vnggv toku,
Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus,

And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
