Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Judea prae hoiah thoemto kaminawk Antiok vangpui ah angzoh o moe, Mosi ih kaalok baktiah tangzat hin na aat o ai nahaeloe, pahlonghaih na hnu o thai mak ai, tiah nawkamyanawk to patuk o.
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Hae tiah patuk o ih lok pongah Pawl hoi Barnabas mah nihcae to aek hoi, hae kawng pongah lokdueng hanah, Pawl hoi Barnabas loe hnukbang thoemto kaminawk hoi nawnto Jerusalem ah, patoeh ih kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk khaeah caeh han angaih, tiah a thuih hoi.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Kricaabu mah nihcae patoeh baktih toengah, nihcae loe Phonicia prae, Samaria prae thung hoiah caeh o moe, Gentelnawk poek amkhraihaih kawng to a thuih pae o: to naah nawkamyanawk boih paroeai anghoehaih tawnh o.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Nihcae Jerusalem phak o naah, nihcae to kricaabunawk, patoeh ih kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk mah dawt o, nihcae patohhaih rang hoiah Sithaw mah sak ih hmuennawk to thuih pae o boih.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
To naah Farasi abu thung ih thoemto tangcaanawk angdoet o moe, Gentelnawk loe tangzat hin aah moe, Mosi ih kaalok pazui han angaih, tiah a thuih o.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
To kawng thuih hanah patoeh ih kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk Jerusalem ah amkhueng o.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Paroeai lok pung o naah, Piter mah angdoet tahang moe, Nawkamyanawk, Canghnii ah Sithaw mah aicae salakah qoih ih kami ah kaom, kai ih pakha thung hoiah Gentelnawk mah kahoih tamthang lok thaih o ueloe, tang o tih, tiah kaom lok to na panoek o boeh.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Palungthin panoekkung Sithaw mah, Aicae khaeah paek ih baktih toengah, nihcae khaeah Kacai Muithla paek naah, nihcae loe hnukung ah oh o.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Aicae hoi nihcae lahhaih om ai, tanghaih rang hoiah nihcae ih palungthin to ciimsak boeh.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
To tiah nahaeloe tih han ih aicae hoi aicae ampanawk mah phaw thai ai ih hmuen to, hnukbang kaminawk ih tahnong ah koeng pae hanah, Sithaw to na tanoek o loe?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Nihcae loe Angraeng Jesu tahmenhaih rang hoiah pahlong ah oh o baktih toengah, aicae doeh pahlong ah om tih, tiah a thuih pae.
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Barnabas hoi Paul mah doeh Sithaw mah nihnik patohhaih rang hoiah Gentel kaminawk khaeah a sak hoi ih dawnrai hmuen hoi anghmang kathok hmuennawk to a thuih hoi toeng, to naah kaminawk boih anghngai o duem, a thuih hoi ih lok to tahngaih pae o.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Nihnik lokthuih hoi pacoengah James mah, Nawkamyanawk, tahngai oh:
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Sithaw loe angmah ih ahmin hanah, Gentel thung hoiah thoemto kaminawk to lak hanah tangsuek nathuem hoi boeh ni nihcae khaeah caeh boeh, tiah Simon mah ang thuih o boeh.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Hae lok loe tahmaanawk mah thuih ih lok hoiah adue;
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
hae pacoengah Kam laem let moe, kamtimh tangcae, David ih kahni im to Ka sak let han; Ka pathawk let moe, kamro hmuennawk to ka sak let han:
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
Ka hmin hoiah kawk ih, kaminawk hoi kanghmat Gentelnawk boih mah, Angraeng to pakrong o tih, tiah hae hmuennawk boih sahkung Angraeng mah thuih, tiah tarik ih lok to oh.
Sithaw loe long amtong tangsuek nathuem hoiah a sak han koi toknawk to panoek boih boeh. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
To pongah aicae mah Sithaw khaeah kangqoi Gentel kaminawk hae raihaih paek han om ai, tiah ka poek.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Toe tangsuek nathuem hoiah Mosi kawng to vangpui kruekah taphong o boeh moe, Sabbath ni kruek anih kawng to Sineko ah kroek o boeh pongah, pakhra bokhaih moi to caa ai, zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zaehaih to sah ai, tahnong panamh moe, kadueh moi hoi athii to caa ai, ayae o hanah ca tarik pae si, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh, tiah a thuih.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
To pacoengah patoeh ih kaminawk, kacoehtanawk hoi kricaabunawk boih mah angmacae thung hoiah qoih ih kaminawk to Antiok vangpui ah Pawl hoi Barnabas khaeah nawnto patoeh hanah palung adue o: nihcae mah nawkamynawk thungah kalen koek Juda, tiah ahmin kaom Barsabas hoi Silas to qoih o.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Nihcae mah, Patoeh ih kaminawk, kacoehtanawk, nawkamyanawk, Antiok, Syria hoi Cilicia prae ah kaom, Gentel nawkamyanawk: Ban kang sin o:
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
kaicae panoekhaih om ai ah, kaicae khae hoi thoemto kaminawk nangcae khaeah angzoh o moe, tangzat hin aah han angaih, kaalok pazui han angaih, tiah ang thuih o ih loknawk mah, raihaih ang paek o moe, palungthin nam ro o boeh, tiah ka thaih o.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
To pongah a palung o ih Pawl, Barnabas hnik hoi nawnto qoih ih kaminawk to nangcae khaeah patoeh si, tiah palung aduehaih ka tawnh o,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
nihnik loe aicae Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin pongah hinghaih paek kami ah oh hoi.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
To pongah kang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah nangcae khaeah pakha hoi thuih hanah, Juda hoi Silas to kang patoeh o.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Kangaih hmuennawk laep ah, nangcae nuiah kalen hmuenzit koeng han om ai, tiah Kacai Muithla rang hoiah kho ka poek o;
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
krang bokhaih caaknaek, athii, tahnong panam moe, kadueh moi hoi zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zae sakhaihnawk to na yae o nahaeloe, ngan na tui o tih, tiah ca tarik pae o.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Antiok vangpui ah caeh hoi hanah, nihnik to patoeh o: toah paroeai kaminawk nawnto amkhuengsak moe, ca to a paek hoi:
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
nihcae mah ca to kroek o naah, thapaekhaih lok to oh pongah nihcae loe anghoe o.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Juda hoi Silas doeh tahmaa ah oh hoi pongah, nawkamyanawk khaeah paroeai thapaekhaih lok to a thuih pae hoi moe, palungthin thacak hoi sak.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Ni nazetto thungah maw a cam hoi pacoengah, nawkamyanawk mah nihnik to patoeh ih kaminawk khaeah lunghoihta ah amlaem o sak.
Toe Silas loe toah cam han koeh vop.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Pawl hoi Barnabas loe Antiok vangpui ah oh hoi poe, Angraeng ih lok to kalah paroeai kaminawk khaeah doeh a thuih hoi moe, patuk hoi.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Atue nazetto maw akra pacoengah Pawl mah Barnabas khaeah, Angraeng ih lok a thuih hoi haih vangpui kruekah caeh si loe, nawkamyanawk to paqai si, nihcae kawbangmaw oh o, tito khen si, tiah a naa.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Barnabas mah Mark, tiah kawk o ih Johan to caeh haih han koeh.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Toe toksak hanah nihnik hoi nawnto caeh ai, Pamphylia vangpui ah nihnik to cawnhtaak ving pongah, Pawl mah Mark to caeh haih han koeh ai.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Mark pongah paroeai lok angaek hoi moe, maeto hoi maeto ampraek hoi: to pongah Barnabas mah Mark to kawk moe, Cyprus ah caeh haih.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Toe Sithaw tahmenhaih pongah nawkamyanawk mah thuih pae o ih, Silas to Pawl mah qoih moe, a caeh haih.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Anih loe Syria hoiah Cilicia prae ah caeh moe, kricaabunawk thapaekhaih lok to thuih.
