Nyingnam 15
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: “If you are not 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.
Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had a great dissension and debate with them, the brothers appointed Paul and Barnabas and some others from among the believers to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem to discuss this issue.
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.
After being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria and brought great joy to all the brothers when they described in detail the conversion of the Gentiles.
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.
When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and 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 of the believers who belonged to the sect of the Pharisees stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise the Gentiles and command them to keep the law of Moses.”
6 Apostol vdwv okv nyigagatv vdwv so tvvka nam um alv bvju vla kaarwk sunyato.
So the apostles and the elders gathered together to consider 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 there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among us, that by the words of my mouth the Gentiles would hear 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, testified to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, 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, purifying 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 are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we 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 that we are saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way 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.
Then the entire assembly fell silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul tell of all the signs and wonders God had performed through them among the Gentiles.
13 Vdwlo bunu japnya kunam gola, Jems japrapto: “Ngoogv ajin vdwa, nga tvriato!
When they had finished speaking, James replied, “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.
Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name.
15 Nyijwk vdwgv gaam vdwv so sum lvkobv tulwk minggvto. Kitap lo vbv mindu,
The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, just 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 tabernacle of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins and erect it again,
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 rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
All God's works are known to him from long ago. (aiōn g165)
19 “So si ngoogv mvngnamv,” Jems japdungto, ho ngonu mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnv gvlo aakur kunv “Jentail vdwa ridwkriku jimabv.
Therefore my judgment is that we not create difficulties for those among the Gentiles who turn 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
but that we write to them, telling them to abstain from things defiled by idols, from fornication, from what has been strangled, and from blood.
21 Moses gv pvbv nga kvvlo lokv Jius kumkunaamlo doonu aludwkibv puri rijikito okv ninyigv gaam nga banggu mvnwnglo japjito.”
For from generations of old, Moses has had those who preach him in every city, because he is read in the synagogues 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 it seemed good to the apostles and to the elders, together with the whole church, to send men chosen from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, leading men 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 to send with them this letter they had written: “The apostles, elders, and brothers, to the Gentile brothers 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.
Since we have heard that certain men, whom we did not authorize, have gone out from us and troubled you with their words, unsettling your minds by saying that you must be circumcised and keep the law,
25 Okv vkvlvgabv ngonu mvnwng ngv doodum toku okv nyi meego darlin laku nonu gvlo vngmu dukubv vla tulwk pvkunv bunu ngonugv ajin Paul okv Barnabas bunyia lvkobv vngriku,
it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to send you men chosen from among us, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 yvvbunudw atugv singdung nga mvngmabv Ahtu Jisu Kristo gv kudungkua lvgabv mvngla rinvgo.
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 have sent Judas and Silas, who will tell you the same things in their own words.
28 Darwknv Dow vla okv ngonu tulwk minsu pvnv so gv ridung aba so gv lvvyalo nonu gvlo oguaingbv adwkaku go lvkmare vla:
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no further burden than these essentials:
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 what has been sacrificed to idols, from blood, from what has been strangled, and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these things, you will do well. 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 when these men had been sent off, they went to Antioch, and after gathering the congregation together, they 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 over its encouragement.
32 Judas okv Silas, bunu atubongvka nyijwk go, bunugv lvkobv mvngchigo japnya la doonyato, bunua mintvmiru jito okv vngdwng mooto.
Then Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many words.
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 to the apostles in peace by the brothers.
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 stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching, along with many others, the good news of 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.”
After some days had gone by, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit our brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
37 Barnabas Jon Marknyi bunua lvkobv vnggv dubv mvngkato,
Now Barnabas wanted to bring John, who was called Mark.
38 vbvrinamv Paulnyi vnggv dubv um mvngka mato, vkvlvgabv ninyia bunugv risv nga lvkobv rinya gvla doomin gvvmado, vbvritola bunua Pampilia lo topak pikula okv vngkur toku.
But Paul thought it best not to bring this man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them in their work.
39 Hokaku achialvbv larkwng minsu pikula, okv Barnabas Marknyi svpw lokv Saipras bv vnggv toku,
So there arose a sharp disagreement, with the result that they parted from one another. Barnabas took Mark and sailed off to Cyprus,
40 hoka Paul Silasnyi gaktoku, okv vnglintoku, mvngjwngnv vdwv Ahtu gv anyuaya nga alv bvkv hvming gvvtoku.
but Paul chose Silas and departed, once he had been committed by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 Hv Sairia bvla Silisia bv vngpik kunam, Gvrja vdwa gwlwk ha jitoku.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
