Acts 15
1 And certain men, who came down from Judea, taught the brothers, Unless ye will be circumcised in the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ amwe magĩikũrũka kuuma Judea magĩthiĩ Antiokia, na nĩmarutaga ariũ a Ithe witũ makameera atĩrĩ: “Mũngĩaga kũrua kũringana na mũtugo ũrĩa warutanirwo nĩ Musa, mũtingĩhonoka.”
2 Therefore, no small dissension and debate having developed with Paul and Barnabas against them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some other men from them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem about this issue.
Ũndũ ũyũ ũgĩtũma Paũlũ na Baranaba macookanĩrie na makararanie mũno nao. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Paũlũ na Baranaba makĩamũrwo, marĩ na etĩkia angĩ, maambate mathiĩ Jerusalemu makone atũmwo na athuuri nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio.
3 Indeed therefore, having been helped for the trip by the congregation, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy to all the brothers.
Naguo kanitha ũkĩmoimagaria, na rĩrĩa maatuĩkanagĩria Foinike na Samaria, nĩmaheanaga ũhoro wa ũrĩa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ maagarũrũkire kũrĩ Ngai. Ũhoro ũcio ũgĩkenia ariũ a Ithe witũ mũno.
4 And after arriving in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders. And they reported as many things as God did with them.
Na maakinya Jerusalemu, makĩamũkĩrwo nĩ kanitha, na atũmwo, na athuuri, nao makĩmeera maũndũ mothe marĩa Ngai eekĩte agereire harĩo.
5 But some of the men who believed from the sect of the Pharisees rose up, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ amwe a arĩa meetĩkĩtie a thiritũ ya Afarisai makĩrũgama, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Andũ a Ndũrĩrĩ no nginya marue na maathwo atĩ marũmagie watho wa Musa.”
6 And the apostles and the elders were assembled together to see about this matter.
Nao atũmwo na athuuri magĩcemania nĩgeetha maarĩrĩrie ũhoro ũcio.
7 And when much debate occurred, Peter having risen up, he said to them, Men, brothers, ye know that from past days among us, God chose the Gentiles to hear through my mouth the word of the good news, and to believe.
Thuutha wa mĩario mĩingĩ, Petero akĩrũgama, akĩmarĩria, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nĩmũũĩ atĩ ihinda rĩhĩtũku, Ngai nĩathuurire kuuma gatagatĩ kanyu nĩguo andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ maigue ndũmĩrĩri ya Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega kuuma kũrĩ niĩ na nĩguo metĩkie.
8 And God, who knows the heart, testified to them, having given them the Holy Spirit, just as also to us.
Nake Ngai, ũrĩa ũũĩ ngoro, akĩonania atĩ nĩametĩkĩrĩte na ũndũ wa kũmahe Roho Mũtheru, o ta ũrĩa aatũhete.
9 And he made not one distinction between both us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
Ndeekĩrire ngũũrani gatagatĩ gaitũ nao, nĩgũkorwo maatheririe ngoro ciao na ũndũ wa wĩtĩkio.
10 Now therefore why do ye challenge God, to place a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwende kũgeria Ngai na ũndũ wa gwĩkĩra arutwo icooki ngingo rĩrĩa ithuĩ o na kana maithe maitũ tũtarĩ twahota gũkuua?
11 But through the grace of the Lord Jesus, we believe to be saved, in the same way as those men also.
Aca! Twĩtĩkĩtie atĩ tũhonokete nĩ ũndũ wa wega wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ, o ta ũrĩa o nao mahonokete.”
12 And all the multitude kept silent, and they heard Barnabas and Paul describing how many signs and wonders God did among the Gentiles through them.
Nakĩo kĩũngano gĩothe gĩgĩkira ki gĩgĩthikĩrĩria Baranaba na Paũlũ makĩheana ũhoro wa ciama na morirũ iria Ngai eekĩte kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ agereire harĩo.
13 And after they were quiet, James answered, saying, Men, brothers, hear me.
Rĩrĩa maarĩkirie kwaria, Jakubu akĩaria akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, ta thikĩrĩriai.
14 Simeon described how God first came to help, to take from the Gentiles a people for his name.
Simoni nĩatũtaarĩria ũrĩa Ngai oonanirie wendo wake hĩndĩ ya mbere na ũndũ wa gwĩthuurĩra andũ kuuma kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩguo matuĩke aake.
15 And to this the words of the prophets agree, as it is written,
Nacio ciugo cia anabii ikaringana na ũhoro ũcio, o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ:
16 After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen. And I will rebuild the things of it that have been demolished, and I will restore it,
“‘Thuutha wa ũguo nĩngacooka, na njake rĩngĩ hema ya Daudi ĩrĩa ĩgwĩte. Nĩngaka iganjo rĩayo rĩngĩ, na ndĩmĩcookie harĩa yarĩ,
17 so that the rest of men might seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called upon them, says the Lord, who does these things.
nĩgeetha matigari marongoragie Mwathani, o na andũ othe a Ndũrĩrĩ arĩa metanagio na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ macio ekuuga’
marĩa moĩkaine kuuma o tene. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore I judge not to trouble those from the Gentiles who are turning to God,
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, niĩ ngũtua atĩrĩ, tũtige kũritũhĩria ũhoro andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ arĩa maragarũrũka kũrĩ Ngai.
20 but to write to them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, twagĩrĩirwo tũmaandĩkĩre marũa, tũmeere metheemage kuumana na irio iria ithaahĩtio nĩ mĩhianano, ningĩ metheemage kuumana na ũmaraya, na kuumana na nyama cia nyamũ cia gũitwo, o na kuumana na thakame.
21 For Moses from generations past, has from city to city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues on every sabbath.
Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro wa Musa nĩwahunjagio matũũra-inĩ mothe o kuuma mahinda ma tene mũno, na nĩũthomagwo thunagogi-inĩ mĩthenya yothe ya Thabatũ.”
22 Then it was decided by the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send men chosen from them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo atũmwo na athuuri, hamwe na kanitha wothe, magĩtua itua mathuure andũ amwe ao mamatũme Antiokia marĩ na Paũlũ na Baranaba. Magĩthuura Judasi (ũrĩa wetagwo Barasaba) na Sila, nao andũ aya eerĩ maarĩ atongoria thĩinĩ wa ariũ a Ithe witũ.
23 after writing by their hand these things: The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those down in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, to the brothers of the Gentiles, greeting.
Makĩmatũma na marũa maya: Nĩ ithuĩ atũmwo na athuuri, o ithuĩ ariũ a Ithe wanyu, Kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ arĩa metĩkĩtie kũu Antiokia, na Suriata, na Kilikia: Amũkĩrai ngeithi.
24 Since we have heard that certain men who went out from us have troubled you with words, disturbing your souls, saying to be circumcised, and to keep the law, to whom we did not command,
Nĩtũiguĩte atĩ andũ amwe nĩmooimire kũrĩ ithuĩ matarĩ na rũũtha rwitũ, na makĩmũthĩĩnia, na makĩnyariira meciiria manyu nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa maaririe.
25 it was decided by us, having become unanimous, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ithuothe nĩtũiguanĩire tũthuure andũ amwe tũmatũme kũrĩ inyuĩ marĩ na arata aitũ endwa, Baranaba na Paũlũ,
26 men who have given over their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
andũ arĩa matwarĩrĩirie mĩoyo yao ũgwati-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ.
27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, themselves also declaring the same things by speech.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtwatũma Judasi na Sila nĩgeetha makindĩre ũhoro ũyũ tũramwandĩkĩra na ciugo cia tũnua twao.
28 For it was decided by the Holy Spirit, and by us, to lay upon you not one greater burden than these necessary things:
Nĩkuonekete arĩ wega kũrĩ Roho Mũtheru o na kũrĩ ithuĩ twage kũmũkuuithia mũrigo ũkĩrĩte maũndũ maya:
29 to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication, keeping yourselves from which, ye will do well. Be strong.
Na rĩrĩ, mũtikarĩĩage irio iria irutĩirwo mĩhianano, na mũtikanyuuage thakame, na mũtikarĩĩage nyama cia nyamũ cia gũitwo, na mũtigane na ũmaraya. Mwetheema maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩmũgwĩka wega. Tigwoi ũhoro.
30 Indeed therefore after being dismissed, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Nao andũ acio makiugĩrwo ũhoro, na makĩharũrũka magĩthiĩ Antiokia, kũrĩa maacookanĩrĩirie kanitha hamwe, na makĩneana marũa macio.
31 And after reading it, they rejoiced for the encouragement.
Rĩrĩa andũ maathomire marũa macio, magĩkena nĩ ũndũ wa ndũmĩrĩri ya kũmoomĩrĩria ĩrĩa yaandĩkĩtwo marũa-inĩ macio.
32 And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brothers by much speech, and strengthened them.
Nao Judasi na Sila, arĩa o ene maarĩ anabii, makĩaria maũndũ maingĩ ma kũũmĩrĩria na kuongerera ariũ a Ithe witũ hinya.
33 And after spending some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Thuutha wa gũikara kũu kwa ihinda-rĩ, makiugĩrwo ũhoro na irathimo cia thayũ nĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, nĩguo macooke kũrĩ andũ arĩa maamatũmĩte.
34 [This verse is not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.]
(Nowe Sila akĩona arĩ wega aikare kũu.)
35 But Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching good news, the word of the Lord, with many others also.
No Paũlũ na Baranaba magĩtigwo kũu Antiokia, kũrĩa o, na andũ angĩ aingĩ maarutanaga na makahunjia kiugo kĩa Mwathani.
36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, After returning, surely we could help our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, how they fare.
Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩigana ũna, Paũlũ akĩĩra Baranaba atĩrĩ, “Reke tũcooke tũgaceerere ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ matũũra-inĩ mothe marĩa tũhunjĩtie kiugo kĩa Mwathani, tũkamenye ũrĩa matariĩ.”
37 And Barnabas wanted to take along John called Mark.
Baranaba nĩeendaga kuoya Johana, ũrĩa wetagwo Mariko mathiĩ nake,
38 But Paul thought it not worthy to bring along this man who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and not having gone with them to the work.
no Paũlũ ndonaga arĩ wega mathiĩ nake, tondũ nĩamatiganĩirie rĩrĩa maarĩ Pamufilia na akĩaga gũthiĩ kũruta wĩra nao.
39 Therefore a provocation developed, so as for them to separate from each other, and Barnabas to sail for Cyprus, after taking Mark,
Makĩgĩa na gũkararania kũnene o nginya makĩamũkana. Baranaba akĩoya Mariko, makĩhaica marikabu, magĩthiĩ Kuporo,
40 but Paul, having selected Silas, went forth after being delivered to the grace of God by the brothers.
no Paũlũ agĩthuura Sila, na maarĩkia kũhooerwo wega wa Mwathani nĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, magĩthiĩ.
41 And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the congregations.
Agĩtuĩkanĩria Suriata na Kilikia, agĩĩkagĩra makanitha hinya.
