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.”
Judah ngam pan hongpai mi pawlkhat te in, Moses thukham bang in vunteap na tan bua uh le, ngupna nga thei ngawl tu nu hi, ci in suapui te hil uh hi.
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.
Hite sia Paul le Barnabas te taw thu kisik ngawl na le ki nial na nasia mama nei uh ahikom in, Antioch a om pawlpi te in Paul, Barnabas le mi pawlkhat te sia hi thudokna taw kisai Jerusalem ah sawltak te le upa te kung ah then tu in khensat uh hi.
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.
Pawlpi in lamkal ah amate tha uh a, Phoenicia le Samaria kantan in pai hi, taciang Gentile te i kikhealna thu pualak uh a: suapui te theampo nasiatak in lungdamsak hi.
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.
Amate Jerusalem a thet uh ciang in pawlpi, sawltak te le upa te in muak a, Pathian in amate tungtawn a vawt nate theampo son uh hi.
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.”
Ahihang Pharisee te sungpan thu um pawlkhat te in Gentile thu um te sia vunteap tan kul a, Moses thukham zong zui tu in thupiak kul hi, ci uh hi.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Taciang hi thu ngaisun khawm tu in sawltak te le upa te munkhat ah ki kaikhawm uh hi.
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.
Thu tampi a ki nial zawk uh ciang, Peter ding a, amate tung ah, u le nau te awng, Gentile mite in keima kam pan in lungdamna thupha za uh a, a up theina tu in, tuma hiat in Pathian in eite sung pan keima hong teal hi, ci na he uh hi.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Taciang thinsung a he Pathian in tettipang a, eite tung ah hongpiak bang in amate zong Tha Thiangtho pia hi;
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Taciang eite le amate kilaklaw ah ki bat ngawlna bangma koi ngawl a, upna tungtawn in amate thinsung te thiangthosak hi.
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?
Tua ahikom, tu in, i pu le pa te le eite in zong i puak zawk ngawl hakkol sia nungzui te ngawng ah koi in banghang Pathian ze-et nu ziam?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Ahihang Topa Jesus Christ i thuthiamna tungtawn in amate ngupna a nga uh bangma in eite zong i nga tu hi, ci in ka um hi, ci hi.
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.
Tua zawkciang in Paul le Barnabas te in Gentile te sung ah Pathian in amate zang in a vawt nalamdang tatuam te a son uh ciang in, mihon pi te in thim khipkhep in ngai uh hi.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Amate thim khipkhep in a om zawk uh ciang in, James in, u le nau te awng, hong ngai tavun:
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Ama min atu mi teal tu in Pathian in amasabel in Gentile mite tung ah a pai na thu Simon in hong pualak zo hi.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Taciang hi thu sia kamsang te kammal in zong lungkim uh a,
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
Hi thu zawkciang in kong paikik tu a, a puksa David i biakbuk sia ka sa kik tu hi; taciang a lal sa sia kasakik tu a, ka dingsak kik tu hi:
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.’
Tabang in a tanglai mihing te le Ama min taw a sap Gentile te theampo in Topa zong tu uh hi, ci in hi thu te theampo a vawt Topa in ci hi.
Pathian in leitung piancil pan in a nasep theampo he siat hi, ci ki at zo hi. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Tua ahikom keima i thukhenna sia, Gentile mite sung pan in Pathian sang ah a kihei te nawngkaisak bua tawng:
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.
Ahihang milim taw in a thiangtho ngawl te, paktat mawna, tawlsan in a kithat sa te le thisan te pial tu in lai kong thak zaw hi.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Banghangziam cile Moses i thukham sia nidang pek pan in khua tatuam ah ki hil a, synagogue te sung zong ah sabbath nisim in ki sim tawntung hi, ci hi.
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.
Tua zawkciang in amate sung pan in a tealsa te, Judah a kici Barsabas le suapui te sung ah a thupibel Silas te sia, Paul le Barnabas te taw Antioch ah paisak tu in, sawltak te le elder te sia pawlpi buppi in lungkim uh hi:
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.
Taciang hibang in amate in, sawltak te, elder te le suapui te in Antioch, Syria le Cilicia a om Gentile suapui te hong paupui khu hi:
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;
Kote kung pan in mi pawlkhat te note kung ah hongpai uh a, koma thupiak hi ngawl napi, vunteap tan hamtang tu nu hi, ciang thukham zong zui tu nu hi, ci in hong sawl na kammal in note hong nawngkaisak a, na nuntakna uh susia hi, ci thu ka za uh hi:
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,
Munkhat ah thu kisi in omkhawm tek a, ka teal uh mihing te sia ka it mama uh Barnabas le Paul taw note kung ah kong paisak tu uh pha ka sa uh hi.
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amate sia i Topa Jesus Christ min atu in a nuntakna dong a pia ngam te a hi uh hi.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Tua ahikom Judah le Silas te kong paisak uh a, lai kong thak uh bangma in amate in a kam uh taw hongson tu uh hi.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Banghangziam cile note tung ah hi a kisam nate simngawl a lianzaw vanngit kong sot ngawl tu uh sia Tha Thiangtho le kote in pha kasa uh hi;
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.”
Tabang in note in milim tung ah na piak uh sa te, thisan, tawlsan in a kingo sa te le paktat mawna te pial vun: tabang te pan in noma le noma na ki keamcing uh le, a pha vawt na hi uh hi. Na damtek tavun, ci in laithak at uh hi.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Tua ahikom amate a paisak uh ciang in Antioch theng uh a: mihon te munkhat ah a ki kaikhop zawk uh ciang in, laithak sia pia uh hi:
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Tua laithak a sim zawk uh ciang in, henepna thu ahikom in lungdam mama uh hi.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Taciang Judah le Silas te zong kamsang te ahi uh bangma in, suapui te thu tampi taw hanthawn uh a, kipsak uh hi.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Tua mun ah tawlkhat sung a om zawk uh ciang in, suapui te kung pan sawltak te kung ah a thimtham in pai uh hi.
Ahihang Silas sia tua mun ah om nuam lai hi.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Paul le Barnabas sia Antioch ah omsuak a, midang tampi te taw Topa thuhil in tangko uh hi.
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.”
Tawlkhat sung zawkciang in, Paul in Barnabas kung ah, Topa thu ka hil na uh mun khua tatuam ah suapui te ve tu in paikik tawng, bangbang in om ziam, ci en tawng, ci hi.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Taciang Barnabas in Mark a kici John sia amate taw tonpui tu in ngaisun hi.
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.
Ahihang Paul in Pamphylia pan in amate taw kikhen a, nasep na mun ah a pai ngawl hu in, amate taw tonpui tu pha ngawl hi, ci ngaisun hi.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Tua thu Paul le Barnabas nasiatak in ki nial uh a, khat le khat kikhen uh hi: taciang Barnabas in Mark tonpui a, Cyprus sang ah tembaw taw pai hi;
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Taciang Paul in Silas teal a, suapui te i Pathian thuthiamna sung ah apna taw in pai uh hi.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Taciang Syria le Cilicia ngamsung theampo ah pai kakoai uh a, pawlpi te kipsak uh hi.
