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.”
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé tajin kakiya kꞌutuꞌn pa ri tinimit Antioquía rech Siria are xoꞌpan nikꞌaj achyabꞌ aꞌj pa ri tinimit Judea, xkichapleꞌj ukꞌutik chikiwach ri kojonelabꞌ chi man kekolotaj taj we man kokisax ri ketal kibꞌ jetaq ri kubꞌij ri utaqanik ri Moisés.
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.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé man utz taj xkita we riꞌ rumal riꞌ xkibꞌan tijoj chuqꞌabꞌ pa tzij kukꞌ ri winaq. Kꞌisbꞌal rech ri alaxik rech ri komontyox xuqujeꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ, xkichomaj xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xuqujeꞌ e nikꞌaj kojonelabꞌ chik xebꞌe chutzijoxik rij we jastaq riꞌ kukꞌ ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ kukꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe.
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.
Ri kojonelabꞌ rech ri komontyox xeꞌkitaq bꞌik ri taqoꞌn pa Jerusalén, pa ri kikꞌowik xeꞌkisolij kanoq ri kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Fenicia, xuqujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Samaria, xkitzijoj chike chi tajin kekojon ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, ri kojonelabꞌ chilaꞌ sibꞌalaj xekiꞌkotik are xkita we riꞌ.
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.
Are xoꞌpan ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, utz kikꞌulaxik xbꞌanik kumal ri kojonelabꞌ, ri taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe. Xkitzijoj kꞌu chike ronojel ri ubꞌanom ri Dios kukꞌ.
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.”
E kꞌo kꞌu nikꞌaj achyabꞌ fariseos ri e kojoninaq chik che ri Cristo, xetakꞌiꞌ aqꞌanoq, xkibꞌij: Ri achyabꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj tzi rajawaxik wi kokisax ketal are kekojonik, xuqujeꞌ kakinimaj ri taqanik rech ri Moisés.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Xkimulij kꞌu kibꞌ ri taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe chuchomaxik rij we jastaq riꞌ.
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.
Are xtzijotaj rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, ri Pedro xtakꞌiꞌk, xubꞌij: Alaxik, iwetaꞌm chi ri Dios najtir uloq xinuchaꞌ chiꞌxoꞌl chutzijoxik ri utz laj tzij chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech jeriꞌ kakitatabꞌej xuqujeꞌ kekojon che we tzij riꞌ.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Ri Dios ri retaꞌm ri animaꞌaj xukꞌutu chi xuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, are xuya ri Uxlabꞌixel chike jetaq ri xubꞌan chuyaꞌik chaqe uj.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Ri Dios xuchꞌajchꞌobꞌej ri kanimaꞌ rumal ri kikojobꞌal, ri Dios man xaq xwi ta xujuchaꞌ uj xane xuchaꞌ xuqujeꞌ areꞌ.
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?
¿Jas kꞌu che kijunamaj iwibꞌ rukꞌ ri Dios, kiya eqaꞌn chikij nikꞌaj chik ri man xekwin ta ri qatat qanan, xuqujeꞌ man xujkwin ta uj che rukꞌaꞌxik?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Ri uj qonojel kaqakojo chi kujkoltajik xa rumal riꞌ toqꞌobꞌ ri man taqal ta chaqe are waꞌ ri xuya chaqe ri Ajawxel Jesús.
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.
Qonojel kꞌu ri winaq man xechꞌaw ta chik are xkitatabꞌej ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xkitzijoj ri mayijabꞌal taq kꞌulmatajik ri xubꞌan ri Dios kukꞌ are xoꞌpan kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Are xetoꞌtaj chutzijoxik ri xkꞌulmatajik, xtakꞌiꞌ ri Jacobo kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Chitampe na, qachalal.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Ri Pedro xutzijoj chiꞌwe ri xubꞌan ri Dios are xuꞌsolij nabꞌe mul ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj rech jeriꞌ xukꞌamawaꞌj che uꞌwinaq.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Are waꞌ ri tzijotal loq kumal ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij rech ri Dios ojer ri tzꞌibꞌatalik, ri kubꞌij:
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
Are kikꞌow we jastaq riꞌ kintzalij kꞌu na loq, kinyak na ri rachoch ri David ri xtukinik, kinsukꞌumaj na ri tukininaq, kinbꞌan na kꞌakꞌ
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.’
rech konojel ri achyabꞌ rech ronojel ri uwachulew xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj kaketaꞌmaj na nuwach xuqujeꞌ kuꞌx na e wech.
Jewaꞌ xubꞌij ri Ajawxel, Areꞌ xbꞌanowik chi xetaꞌmax loq we kꞌulmatajem riꞌ ojer. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Rumal laꞌ kinbꞌij in chi man kuya taj keꞌqaqꞌatej ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel kekojon che ri Dios.
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.
Xwi qatzꞌibꞌaj chike chi man kakitij ta jastaq ri e tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq dios, kiqꞌila kibꞌ che mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ xuqujeꞌ man kuya taj kakitij aꞌwaj e jitzꞌam rachiꞌl kikꞌ.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Are kꞌu ri utaqanik ri Moisés tzijotal wi loq najtir pa ronojel qꞌij rech uxlanem pa ri Sinagoga kech ri aꞌj Israel.
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.
Ri e taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox xeꞌkichaꞌ taqoꞌn, kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik kukꞌ ri Pablo xuqujeꞌ ri Bernabé pa ri tinimit Antioquía rech Siria, chubꞌixik chike ri kojonelabꞌ jas jeꞌ ri xkichomaj. Ri e taqoꞌn are ri Judas (ri kabꞌix Barsabás che) rachiꞌl ri Silas, e kebꞌ kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox.
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.
Ri wuj ri xkikꞌam bꞌik kubꞌij: Uj, ri uj taqoꞌn xuqujeꞌ ri uj kꞌamal taq bꞌe rech ri komontyox, uj iwachalal uj kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén. Uj kujtzꞌibꞌan we wuj riꞌ chike ri e kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo pa ri tinimit Antioquía, Siria, xuqujeꞌ Cilicia. Jun rutzil iwach.
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;
Xqato chi e kꞌo nikꞌaj achyabꞌ keꞌl waral are kakaj kixkisubꞌu rukꞌ taq ri kikꞌutuꞌn, man xa ta kꞌu e qataqom bꞌik.
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,
Rumal riꞌ pa junamam xqachomaj keꞌqataq bꞌik e kꞌamal taq bꞌe kukꞌ ri e loqꞌalaj taq qachalal Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Pablo.
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ri e qachalal riꞌ kiyoꞌm ri kikꞌaslemal chupatanixik ri Ajawxel Jesucristo.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Xeꞌqataq bꞌik ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas chuqꞌalajisaxik ri xqachomaj, rumal rech ri kꞌotbꞌal chiꞌ xibꞌan loq.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Ri Tyoxalaj Uxlabꞌixel xuqujeꞌ ri uj man kaqaj taj kaqaya eqaꞌn chiꞌwij xaq xwi kaqaj kibꞌan we xqatzꞌibꞌaj bꞌik chiꞌwe:
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.”
Man kitij ta jastaq ri e tzujtal chikiwach ri e bꞌanom taq dios, man kuya taj kitij aꞌwaj e jitzꞌatalik, man kuya taj kitij kikꞌ xuqujeꞌ chiqꞌila iwibꞌ che mak kukꞌ taq ixoqibꞌ xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ. Tajin kibꞌan ri utzilal, we kibꞌan we xqatzꞌibꞌaj chiꞌwe riꞌ. Kiwil iwibꞌ.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Aninaq xebꞌe ri taqoꞌn pa ri tinimit Antioquía, chilaꞌ xeꞌkimulij wi ri kojonelabꞌ, xkijach chike ri wuj ri xya bꞌik chike.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Xekiꞌkot ri e kojonelabꞌ are xsikꞌix ri wuj ri xtaq bꞌik chike.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Ri Judas xuqujeꞌ ri Silas e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios, naj xetzijon kukꞌ ri kojonelabꞌ xeꞌkitaqchiꞌj kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Xekꞌojiꞌ kꞌu na jun janipa qꞌij chilaꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xetaq bꞌik kumal ri kojonelabꞌ rukꞌ tewechibꞌal xuqujeꞌ jaꞌmaril pa ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
/Ri Silas kꞌut xraj xkanaj kan chilaꞌ./
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Ri Pablo rachiꞌl ri Bernabé xekanaj kan pa ri tinimit Antioquía. Xkitzijoj xuqujeꞌ xkikꞌut ri utzij ri Dios. E kꞌi winaq xuqujeꞌ je xkibꞌano.
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.”
Are xikꞌow jun janipa qꞌij, ri Pablo xubꞌij che ri Bernabé: Jeꞌqasolij ri e tinimit ri xqatzijoj wi ri utzij ri Ajawxel, rech kaqilo jas kibꞌanik ri e kꞌakꞌ taq kojonelabꞌ.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Are kꞌu ri Bernabé xraj xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos kukꞌ.
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.
Ri Pablo man xraj ta wi, rumal chi ri Juan Marcos xutas kan ribꞌ chike pa ri tinimit Panfilia, man xchakun ta chi kukꞌ.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Man xukꞌulaj ta kꞌu ribꞌ ri kichomanik rumal riꞌ xkijach kibꞌ. Ri Bernabé xukꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos, xeꞌ pa Chipre.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Ri Pablo kꞌut, are xuchaꞌ bꞌik ri Silas che rachiꞌl. Ri e kojonelabꞌ aꞌj chilaꞌ xeꞌkijach bꞌik pa uqꞌabꞌ ri Ajawxel rech kel ukꞌuꞌx chike.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Xikꞌow pa ronojel Siria xuqujeꞌ Cilicia, xuꞌtaqchiꞌj kan konojel ri kojonelabꞌ rech kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal.
