< 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.”
Teo ty nizotso boak’ Iehodà añe nañoke ty hoe amo roahalahio: Ze tsy savareñe amy sata’ i Mosèy, le tsy ho rombaheñe.
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.
Tsy naivañe ty fifandierañe naho fifanointoiña’ i Paoly naho i Barnabasy ama’e le sinafiri’ iereo ty hañitrike i Paoly naho i Barnabasy naho ty ila’e mb’e Ierosaleme mb’amo Firàheñe naho bey añeo ty amy ontane zay.
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.
Ie nampionjone’ i Fivoriy amy lalañey, le niranga i Foinika naho i Samaria, nitalily ty fisolohoa’ o kilakila ondatio vaho nahaehake o roahalahy iabio.
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.
Ie nandoake e Ierosaleme ao, le rinambe i Fivoriy naho o Firàheñeo naho o beio, vaho nitalilieñe ze he’e nanoen’ Añahare añam’ iereo.
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.”
Fe niongake ty mpiato ila’e amo Fariseo, nanao ty hoe: Tsy mete tsy ampisavareñe ondatio vaho lili­eñe hañorike ty Hà’ i Mosè.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Nivory hisafiry i entañe zay o Firàheñeo naho o beio,
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.
f’ie nifandietse avao, aa le niongake t’i Petera nanao ty hoe: O Roahalahio, fohi’ areo te nitoroan’ Añahare hatrela’e te ho janjiñe’ o kilakila ondatio am-bavako ty enta’ i talili-soay vaho hiantoke.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Aa le nitaroñe am’ iereo t’i Andrianañahare Mpaharofoanañ’ arofo, le nitolora’e i Arofo Masiñey manahake ty nanoe’e aman-tikañe.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Toe tsy nambaha’e aman-tika iereo kanao nefera’e am-patokisañe o arofo’ iareoo.
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?
Aa vaho akore ty itsoha’ areo an’Andrianañahare, hampitongoà’ areo joka am-pititia’ o mpiòkeo, ie tsy nileon-tika ndra o roaen-tikañeo?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Aiy! Atokisan-tika te i hasoa’ Iesoà Talèn-tikañey ro maha voarombak’ antika, le hambañe amy zay iereo.
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.
Fonga nianjiñe i màroy, nijanjiñe ty nitalilie’ i Barnabasy naho i Paoly o viloñe naho halatsàñe nanoen’ Añahare añivo’ o kilakila ‘ndatio añam’ iereoo.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Ie nigadoñe i fitaliliañey, le hoe ty natoi’ Iakobe: O roahalahio, ijanjiño,
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Fa nitalilia’ i Simona i fitilihan’ Añahare valoha’ey, handrambesa’e ondaty amo kilakila ondatio ho amy tahina’ey,
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
mira amo nitsarae’ o mpitokio, amy pinatetseio ty hoe:
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
Ie añe, le hibalike raho naho hamboareko indraike i kivoho’ i Davide nirotsakey; ho tsenèko indraike i nikoromakey, vaho hatroako,
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.’
soa te hipay Iehovà ondaty ila’eo toe ze kilakila ondaty tokaveñe ami’ty añarako,
18 “All of God’s works are known to him from eternity. (aiōn g165)
hoe t’Iehovà mampahafohiñe o raha zao boake haehae añe. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Aa le hoe ty safiriko, te tsy holañen-tikañe o mitolik’ aman’ Añahare boak’ amo kilakila ondatio,
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.
fe anokiran-tika taratasy, hifoneña’ iareo ze raha nitivae’ o hazomangao naho ty hakarapiloañe naho ty henam-biby nidageañeñe vaho ty lio.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Amy te nitaroñeñe haehae amy ze kila rova t’i Mosè, ie vakieñe am-pitontonañ’ ao boa-tSabata.
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.
Aa le nisatrie’ o Firàheñeo naho o beio naho i fivory iabiy ty hijoboñe ondaty am’iereo ao, hihitrike mb’e Antiokia añe mindre amy Paoly naho i Barnabasy. Le jinoboñe t’i Joda (atao Barsabasy) naho i Silasy, ondaty mpiaolo amo rahalahio.
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.
Aa le nisokireñe ty hoe am-pita’iareo: Ry Firàheñeo naho o roahalahy beim-pivorio, Ho amo rahalahy boak’ amo kilakila’ ndatio e Antiokia naho e Sirià vaho e Kilkia añeo: Talilio’ areo:
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;
Ie jinanji’ay te boak’ama’ay atoy o tsy nitoroa’aio, nitsibore anahareo an-tsaontsy nañembetse,
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,
le natao’ay t’ie nivory am-pitraofan-drehake, te hahasoa ty hijoboñe ondaty tsy ampeampe hampombañe mb’ ama’ areo mb’eo mindre aman-drañe’ay sarotse, i Barnabasy naho i Paoly—
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ondaty nihirim­beloñe ty amy tahina’ i Talè Iesoà Norizañey.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Aa le nampihitrife’ay t’i Joda naho i Silasy hamente o entañe zao am-palie
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
amy te hoe nò’ i Arofo Masiñey naho zahay ty tsy hanovoña’ay kilankañe mandikoatse o fañè rezao:
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.”
Falio ze raha nisoroñañe an-kazomanga naho ty lio naho ze dinageañe vaho ty fandrañaotañe. Mahasoa anahareo te ifoneñañe. Manintsiña.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Aa le nampionjoneñe mb’eo iereo naho nivotrake e Antiokia le natonto’ iereo i Fivoriy vaho natolotse i taratasiy.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Ie vinaki’ iereo le niehake ty amy fañosihañey.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Aa kanao mpitoky t’i Joda naho i Silasy, le nañosike naho nañafatratse o roahalahio an-tsaontsy maro.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Ie roñoñe añe, le nampañaveloe’ o rahalahio himpoly mb’amo nañitrik’ iareoo mb’eo.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Fe nitam­batse e Antiokia ao t’i Paoly naho i Barnabasy mindre ami’ty ila’e maro, nañoke naho nitaroñe ty tsara’ Iehovà.
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.”
Ie nahamodo andro tsiampeampe, le hoe t’i Paoly amy Barnabasy: Antao hibalike naho hitilike o roahalahin-tika amy rova iaby nitaroñan-tika o tsara’ i Talèo reio, hañontane iareo.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Si­nafiri’ i Barnabasy ty hinday i Jaona (atao Marka) hitrao-dia,
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.
fe nifahara’ i Paoly te tsy hahasoa te hindeseñe ie nivik’ am’iareo e Pamfilià añe naho tsy nindre am-pitoroñe.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Aa le akore ty fifanjomora’ iareo kanao nifampipi­tsoke. Nendese’ i Barna­basy t’i Marka nijon-dakañe mb’e Kiprosy añe,
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
le jinobo’ i Paoly t’i Silasy vaho nienga, ie fa nitatae’ o roahalahio ho ami’ty hasoa’ i Talè.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Le niranga mb’e Sirià naho e Kilkia mb’eo re nañafatratse o Fivorio.
