Guncei 15
1 Tami bangpatetnaw ni Judah ram lahoi a tho awh teh, Mosi e kâlawk patetlah vuensomanae ka hmawt hoeh e ni rungngang lah na awm thai mahoeh, telah hmaunawnghanaw a cangkhai awh.
Then some men arrived from Judea who started teaching the believers, “Unless you're circumcised according to the rules set down by Moses, you can't be saved.”
2 Hatnavah Pawl, Barnabas ti hoi ahnimanaw teh kâounnae puenghoi ao dawkvah, hmaunawnghanaw ni, Pawl, Barnabas hoi alouke a hnukkâbangnaw hoiyah hote laidei hanelah Jerusalem kaawm e gunceinaw hoi kacuenaw koe a cei awh hane lawk a dei awh.
Paul and Barnabas had many arguments and debates with them. So Paul and Barnabas and some others were appointed to go to Jerusalem and talk to the apostles and leaders there about this issue.
3 Kawhmoun ni ahnimanaw yo a thak awh. Phoenicia hoi Samaria ram lahoi pou a cei awh navah, Jentelnaw koe a lungpatawnae kong ahnimouh ni a dei awh teh hmaunawnghanaw pueng a lunghawi sak awh.
The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they explained how foreigners were being converted, which made all the believers very happy.
4 Jerusalem a pha awh navah, kawhmoun hoi Gunceinaw, kacuenaw ni a dawn awh. Ahnimouh ni Cathut ni ahnimouh hno lahoi hno a sak e naw a dei pouh awh.
When they arrived in Jerusalem they were welcomed by the church members, the apostles, and the elders. They explained everything God had done through them.
5 Hatei Farasinaw koe lahoi ka yuem e tami tangawn ni a kangdue awh teh, Jentelnaw hah vuensoma sak hane hoi Mosi e kâlawk tarawi sak hanelah lawkthui hanelah ao ati awh.
But they were opposed by some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee faction. They said, “These converts have to be circumcised, and instructed to observe the law of Moses.”
6 Hatdawkvah gunceinaw hoi kacuenaw ni hote lawk paceinae pouk hanelah a kamkhueng awh.
The apostles and elders met together to discuss the issue.
7 Tha hoi a kâoun awh hnukkhu vah Piter ni a kangdue teh hmaunawnghanaw, Jentelnaw ni kamthang kahawi a thai awh teh, a yuem awh thai nahanlah Cathut ni nangmouh thung hoi kai heh kadeikung lah na rawi e na panue awh.
After much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that some time ago God chose me from among you so that the foreigners could hear the message of good news and trust in Jesus.
8 Lungthin be ka panuek e Cathut ni Kathoung Muitha heh maimouh na poe e patetlah ahnimouh hai a poe awh teh ahnimouh koelah a kampangkhai.
God, who knows thewhat we're thinking, has shown that he accepts them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us.
9 Cathut ni ahnimouh hoi maimouh khoeroe kapeknae awm laipalah yuemnae lahoi ahnimae lungthin a thoungsak.
He doesn't make any distinction between us and them—he cleansed their thoughts as they trusted in him.
10 Hatdawkvah nangmouh ni mintoenaw hoi maimouh ni hai phu thai hoeh e hno teh ahnimae a loung dawk na patue e lahoi atuvah Cathut tanouk hanlah na ngai awh.
So why do you want to oppose God and put a burden on the believers that our fathers weren't able to bear, and we can't either?
11 Maimouh hai ahnimouh patetlah Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a lungmanae kecu dawk rungngang lah o teh yuem awh, atipouh.
We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”
12 Hatnavah ka kamkhueng e tami pueng teh sairasuep lah ao awh teh, Barnabas hoi Pawl ti ni ahnimouh koehoi Jentelnaw koe Cathut ni a sak e mitnoutnae hoi kângairunae a dei awh e a thai awh.
Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.
13 Ahnimanaw ni lawk dei e a pâbaw awh hnukkhu, Jem ni hmaunawnghanaw, kaie ka lawk thai awh haw.
After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 Cathut ni ama hanlah Jentelnaw thung hoi a miphun lah a coe nahan, ahnimouh koe hmaloe a thonae hah Simeon ni apasuek vah a dei toe.
Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.
15 Profetnaw e a lawk dei e hai hete a lawk hoi a kâvan.
This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,
16 Cakathoung ni, hetnaw e hnuklah kai ni bout ka tho vaiteh ka rawm tangcoung e Devit e lukkareiim hah bout ka sak han. Raphoe tangcoung e hote rim hah bout sak lah ao vaiteh ka caksak han.
‘In the future I will return, and I will rebuild the fallen house of David; I will rebuild its ruins and set it straight.
17 Ka min lahoi ka kaw e Jentelnaw hai a yungyoe ka hring e Cathut a tawng awh nahane doeh telah,
I will do this so that those who are left may come to the Lord, including the foreigners who call on my name.
This is what the Lord says, who revealed these things long ago.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Hatdawkvah Jentelnaw koehoi Cathut koe lah a lungkâthung e naw koe runae poe hanlah awmhoeh.
So my decision is that we shouldn't make it difficult for foreigners who turn to God.
20 Meikaphawk dawk thounghoehnae, kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae, lahuen kara e moi hoi a thinaw hah roun hanelah ahnimouh koe ca lahoi thaisak hanlah ka pouk.
We should write to them and tell them to avoid food sacrificed to idols, sexual immorality, meat of animals that have been strangled, and from consuming blood.
21 Bangkongtetpawiteh ayan hoi kho tangkuem vah Mosi e phung lawk ka dei e ao teh, hote lawk hah sabbath hnintangkuem sinakoknaw dawk ouk touk awh atipouh.
For the law of Moses has been taught in every town for a long, long time—it's read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22 Hatnavah Gunceinaw, kacuenaw hoi Kawhmoun abuemlah ni amamouh thung dawk e tami a rawi awh teh, Pawl, Barnabas hoi hmaunawnghanaw thung dawk e kahrawikung lah kaawm awh e Barsabbas telah a kaw awh e Judah hoi Silas a rawi awh.
Then the apostles and elders, together with the whole church, decided it would be good to choose some representatives and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, leaders among the brothers,
23 Ahnimouh koe a sin sak awh e ca dawkvah, gunceinaw kacuenaw hoi hmaunawnghanaw ni Antiok kho Siria ram hoi Cilicia ram kaawm e Jentel hmaunawnghanaw kut na man awh.
and sent them with this letter: “Greetings from us, the apostles and elders and brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
24 Kaimouh koe e tami bangpatet ni kaimouh ni patoun laipalah a cei awh teh lawk aphunphun lah a dei awh teh, nangmouh na lungpuen awh teh, a rucatnae na poe awh tie ka thai awh. Vuensom na a awh vaiteh, kâlawk hai na tarawi awh roeroe han a ti awh. Hotpatetlae lawk dei hanelah ahnimouh koe kâpoelawk banghai ka poe awh hoeh.
We have heard that some from our group have confused you with their teachings, causing you trouble. We certainly didn't tell them to do this!
25 Hatdawkvah kaimouh ni ka kâhmo awh teh, maimouh ni pahren e Pawl hoi Barnabas hoi cungtalah nangmouh koe tami patoun hanelah ka lung a kuep awh. Hatdawkvah maimouh ni Bawipa Jisuh Khrih min kecu dawkvah amamae hringnae kâphumnaw lah kaawm e,
So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,
26 maimouh ni lungpataw awh e Barnabas hoi Pawl tinaw hoi reirei patoun hanelah tami kahni touh rawi hane ka lungkuep awh.
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Hatdawkvah Judas hoi Silas hah ka rawi awh teh nangmouh koe ka patoun awh. Ahnimouh ni lawk hoi hai a dei awh han doeh.
So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.
28 Hete phunglamnaw hloilah alouke hnokari titca hai nangmouh van toung sak hoeh nahanlah Kathoung Muitha hoi kaimouh ni ka hnâbo awh.
It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.
29 Hote phunglam teh nangmouh ni meikaphawk bawknae hno, thi, lahuen kara e moi, hoi kamsoumhoehe napui tongpa yonnae hah roun awh. Nangmouh teh hete hnonaw hoi kathoung lah na awm awh pawiteh ahawi. Na tak dam awh naseh telah a thut pouh awh.
You should avoid: anything sacrificed to idols; blood; meat from strangled animals; and sexual immorality. You will do well to observe these requirements. God bless you.”
30 Gunceinaw a patoun navah Antiok kho lah a cei awh teh, haw a pha hoi kayuemnaw a pâkhueng awh hnukkhu ca hah ahnimae kut dawk a poe awh.
The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.
31 Ahnimouh ni hote ca a touk awh teh thapoenae lawk dawk a konawm awh.
After they had read it, the people were so happy for the encouraging message.
32 Judah hoi Silas amamouh roi hai profet lah ao roi dawkvah ahnimouh koe thapoenae lawk a dei pouh roi.
Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, encouraged the brothers, explaining many things, and strengthening them.
33 Ahnimanaw teh hnin dongdeng ao awh teh, hmaunawnghanaw ni lungmawng lah a thak awh teh kapatounkungnaw koe let a ban sak awh.
After spending some time there they were sent back by the brothers with their blessing to the believers in Jerusalem.
34 Hatei Silas teh hawvah tongtang ao.
35 Pawl hoi Barnabas teh Antiok kho ao navah alouke taminaw hoi cungtalah Bawipa e lawk hah a cangkhai awh.
But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of God along with many others.
36 A hnin moi ao hoi Pawl ni Barnabas koe, Bawipa e lawk pâpho tangcoungnae kho dawk kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw, bangtelane ao awh tie yo hloe hanelah ahnimouh koe bout cet awh sei atipouh.
Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let's go back and visit the believers in every town where we shared the word of the Lord, and see how they're doing.”
37 Barnabas ni Mark tie Jawhan hai hrawi hanelah a ngai.
Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.
38 Hateiteh, Pawl ni Pamfilia ram vah ahnimouh hoi a kamphei teh oun a cei dawkvah, a thaw tawknae koe ahnimouh hoi reirei ka cet ngai hoeh e teh kaw hanelah awmhoeh telah a pouk.
But Paul didn't think it was a good idea to take him with them, since he'd left them in Pamphylia and hadn't continued working with them.
39 Hatnavah puenghoi kâounnae ao dawkvah buet touh hoi buet touh a kamphei roi toe. Barnabas ni Mark a hrawi teh Saipras tuilum lah a cei.
They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.
40 Pawl ni Silas a rawi teh hmaunawnghanaw lahoi Bawipa e lungmanae dawk hnawng lah ao hnukkhu a kamthaw.
Paul chose Silas, and as they left, the believers committed them to the grace of the Lord.
41 Ahni teh Siria ram hoi Cilicia ram lah tawngtang a cei teh, kawhmounnaw hah a cak sak.
Paul traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches there.
