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.”
nitianba bo ñani jude ki jiidi ki tundu i naataani ki maadi: «a yaa kɔndi nani lan buali maama Moyiisi bal tili nni a kan baa gaa po.»
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.
Poli yeni Barnabasi n bo cendi ba ke ki tieni li buoli yenba, i naataani bo bo cuo ke yeni Barnabasi n do bi tuonsɔnba yeni a nikpela kani Jerualemi a ki kali li laabaalo po.
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.
Nani ban bo tie li jaandieli tondi yeni ban tɔgni Fenisi yeni ki wangi bi nilanba ke ban tuo ki gaa Jesu maama. Bi bo cua yeni li pamanli i naataani kuli po.
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.
ban pundi Jerusalemi li jaandieli nni tuonsɔnba, yeni li nikpela n gaa ba ban togdi ba u Tienu n tieni yaali kuli yenba.
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.”
Lan yognu nitianba bo ye Falisiani nba cagli nni ke mɔ bo tuo gaa, bo fii ki maadi: «Li bo ŋani ki dagdi ke ti kɔndi ba ki cedi ban ya ŋua moyiisi bali maama» (moyiisi yikodi maama)
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Bi tuonsɔnba yeni li jaandieli nikpela bo taani kali ki ba diidi li maama po.
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.
Bi bo dadi li maama po ki li waagi Piaali n fii ki sedi ki maadi bi. «I bani k u tienu bo tieni mi lugdima i siiga nni li waagi boncianla, ke n ñɔbu po bi lanba n gbadi u Tienu laabaŋanmo ki gɔ tuo ki dugi n po.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Ke u Tienu bani yua kuli ya yantugu, tieni ba kasieda ki tem ba mi fuoŋanma nani wan tieni ti po maama.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Yeni ke waa tieni paadnma tinba yeni bani siiga nni ki ŋuudi bi pala li dandanli nni.
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?
Mɔla be ya po i ke i kpaani u Tienu mi maama ki taadi ya tuga kpiagi ki bua ki tuni bi ŋɔdikaaba ya tuga ke ti báa, mɔno bo ki fidi tugi?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Ama ti pia li dandanli ke ti ba baa gaa po ti yonmdaano Jesu ŋanbidi po nani bani yeni.»
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.
Ku nuwulugu kuli ŋmini ki gba Poli yeni Barnabasi ke b maadi u Tienu n bo teni ke bi tieni ya bonninandi yeni ya yaalidma bi nilanba siig nni.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Ban bo maadi ki gbeni, Saaki bo gaa mi maama ki maadi: “n naataani songi mani n maama.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simo bo togdi lan bo tieni maama k u Tienu todi yeni o ŋanbidi ke bi nilanba ń mɔ fidi ki lugdi bi siiga bi niba ban doni o yeli.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
O sawalipualo laabaalo taani yeni lan bo dianiki yedi yaala.
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
Lan bona puoli po yo ke n ba ti guani ki gɔ sieni Davidi diegu yugu n bo ba. Nba ŋmagdigu ki ŋanbi siegu.
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.’
Yeni ya niba sieni ba kpaani o yonmdaano, yeni ya nilanba gaa o yeli.
Oyonmdaano yua bo tieni a bona ke bi bandi ti ya yogu nni n maadi yaala n yeni. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Lan cedi ke n maalima tie ke ti kan ya ŋmadi bi nilanba yaaba ya pala ŋmagdi u Tienu po.
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.
Ama ti diani ba ke ban da jɔgni bi ba yeni i buli jiema, ki cuo bi ba yeni mi cunconma buali kuli k gɔ daa di mi sɔma.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Ya bina bo pendi, bi niba bo dogu kuli nni ki cogi moyiisi balmaama ki gɔ wangi u Tienu laabaalo a jaandiena nni saba daali.
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.
Li bo naani li ŋani bi ŋɔdikaaba yeni u jaadidɔngu nikpela po, yeni u jaadidɔngu po ke ban lugdi Jude yua ke b yi o Barsabasi yeni Slasi, u jaandidɔngu yudanba, ki sɔni ba Atiosi yeni Poli yeni Barnabasi.
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.
Bi bo diani nanda i: «bi tuonsɔnba, a nikpela yeni i naataani, n diani i naataani yaba tie nilanba Antiosi, Siri yeni Slisi, ti fuondi i.
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;
Ti gbadi ke bi niba ñani ti siiga nni ki gedi i kani ke ti naa puni ba sanu, ki ŋmadi i yama yeni bi tunda.
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,
Li bo baa ŋani ti kuli po ke yi cabi ti ti lugdi bi niba ki sɔni ba i kani bani Barnasi yeni Poli,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yaaba bo taa bi miali ki cabi ti yonmdaano Jesu Kristi po.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Ti gɔ sɔni Jude yeni Silasi ke bi ba maadi yi a bona.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Lani li ŋani ki dagdi fuoŋanma po yeni tinba mɔ ya po ke ti daa tuni bonli ke laa ŋani.
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.”
Lani n tie ki kubi i yula yeni n padjiema yi gɔ daa ŋmani mi sɔma yeni ya bona ke bi padi i buli, yi kubi iyula yeni mi cumconma buali kuli. i ya kubi i yula yeni lani bona li baa ŋani i po. n cabdi i n yeni.»
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Lani ke bi guani sɔni ba, ban bo pundi Antiosi ki taani u niwulgu ki teni ba li tili.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Ban bo cogi li ya yogu ke bi la li papaali.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Judeyeni Slasi bo mɔ bo tie sawalpuali ki fiidi i naataani yeni u Tienu ñɔmaama ki gɔ paagi bi pala.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Ban bo tieni dana li po i naataani bo guani teni ba li lanbonmanli ke bi mɔ ń guani kuni yeni laafia ki pan teni yaaba sɔni ba.
Li bo mani Silasi po ke wan ya ye.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Ama Poli yeni Barnabasi bo ye Antiosi yeni nitianba boncianli bi bo wangi ki gɔ tundi ti yonmdaano ñɔmaama.
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.”
Lan tieni dana ke Poli maadi Barnabasi: «ti guani i diidi inaataani ya dogi nni ke ti waani ti yonmdaano ñɔmaama ki diidi ban ye maama.»
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Barnabasi bo bua wan gedi yeni San yua ke bi yi o Maarki.
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.
Ama ke Poli diidi sua ke laa dagdi yeni wan gedi. Wani ji bo ŋaa ba hali Panfili dogu nni kaa ji bo todi ba bi tuonli nni.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Ke mi paadma tieni bi siiga nni ke bi yadi lieba. Ke Barnabai taaa Marrki ke bi ji bo gedi Cipri.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Ama Poli bo lugdi Sllasi ke wan yegi yeni o, ke o naataantieba mia ke ti yonmdaano ŋanbidi n ya ye yeni owan caa naan kani.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
O bo puodi ki gedi Siri yeni Silisi ki paagidi li jaandieli yaaba pa.
