< Acts 15 >

1 Then some men came down from Judea and started teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
Leleꞌ naa, atahori Kristen Yahudi hira rema mia dodꞌooꞌ mia nusa Yudea risiꞌ Antiokia. Losa naa ma, ranori Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Nara rae, “Hei mimihere Yesus ena o, malole boe. Te naa nda feꞌe dai sa. Mete ma hei tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ mae misodꞌa, hei musi sunat dei, tungga hita adat na, fo Lamatualain fee neu baꞌi Musa.”
2 Well this provoked serious dissension and argument between Paul and Barnabas and them, so Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with certain others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Te Paulus no Barnabas labꞌan rahereꞌ ro atahori naa ra oꞌola nara. Rareresi rala seli. Paulus se rae, “Naa sala! Atahori feaꞌ nda Yahudi ra sa, mana ramahere Yesus, nda parlu sunat tungga atahori Yahudi ra adat sunat na sa!” Huu ara balaban taꞌo naa, de raꞌetuꞌ denu Paulus no Barnabas, ma nonoo nara hira mia Antiokia, fo reu rendi dedꞌeat ia fee neu Lamatuaꞌ dedenu Nara, ro lasi Kristen feaꞌ mana sia Yerusalem.
3 So being sent on their way by the congregation, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brothers.
Naa de, atahori Kristen mana sia Antiokia ra denu Paulus se Yerusalem reu. Ara tungga madꞌaꞌ ata, seli nusaꞌ Finisia ma Samaria. Sia dalaꞌ a, ara tuli atahori mamahereꞌ ra ume nara. Ara dui lutuꞌ-leloꞌ rae, “Atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, rema ramahere Lamatuaꞌ boe!” Rena taꞌo naa ma, basa se ramahoꞌo.
4 Upon arriving in Jerusalem, they were received by the congregation and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them.
Losa Yerusalem, Yesus atahori nara simbo se no maloleꞌ. Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara, ro lasi Kristen fea ra, simbo se boe. Basa naa ma, Paulus se dui basa saa fo Lamatuaꞌ tao fee sira, losa atahori feaꞌ naeꞌ o tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus. Ara o dui sira rareresi soꞌal sunat.
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.”
Atahori mana rena Paulus se dudꞌui na, hambu atahori Yahudi Kristen hira mia partei Farisi. Ara fela rambariiꞌ de olaꞌ rahereꞌ rae, “Rena malolole, e! Mete ma atahori nda Yahudi sa nau tungga Yesus, musi tungga hita adat sunat, ma atoran adat feaꞌ, fo Lamatualain fee neu baꞌi Musa.”
6 So the apostles and the elders came together to consider this matter.
Basa de, atahori saraniꞌ ra rala haraꞌ esa rae, Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara ro lasi Kristen ra, raꞌabꞌue fo dudꞌuꞌa dalaꞌ naa.
7 When there had been plenty of discussion, Peter got up and said to them: “Men, brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the message of the Gospel and believe.
Ara duꞌa neu-nema esa no esa. Boe ma Petrus fela nambariiꞌ, de olaꞌ nae, “Toronoo nggare! Hei bubꞌuluꞌ, dalahulu na, Lamatualain dudꞌu au, mia hei taladꞌa mara, fo uu ufadꞌe Yesus Dudꞌui Malole na neu atahori nda Yahudi ra sa. Te Lamatualain o nau fo ara ramahere Yesus boe.
8 And the heart-knowing God acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us;
Lamatualain nahine hita esa-esaꞌ rala nara. Ana fee Dula-dale Meumare Na neu se, onaꞌ fee nema hita boe. No taꞌo naa, hita tahine tae Lamatualain o simbo se.
9 and He made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Ana nda pili-tadꞌa sira ro hita sa. Ana nda bingga-banggi se ro hita sa. Ana tao nameu rala nara, huu ramahere Yesus, onaꞌ Ana o tao nameu rala tara boe.
10 Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
De taꞌo bee? Mete ma Lamatualain simbo se ena, taꞌo bee de hita feꞌe fua bꞌerat neu se no adat sunat? Mete ma tae olaꞌ tetu-tetu, hita to bei-baꞌi tara, nda lemba beꞌi basa horo-lalane agama naa ra sa. De afiꞌ taꞌasususaꞌ se taꞌo naa! Au ae utane taꞌo ia: Lamatualain fee masodꞌaꞌ neu hita, huu hita tungga horo-lalane agama, do? Hokoꞌ! Ana fee masodꞌaꞌ, huu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus sue ma kasian hita. De afiꞌ liliiꞌ! Lamatuaꞌ o sue ma kasian atahori feaꞌ ra boe.”
11 Rather, we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.”
12 Then the whole assembly kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the ethnic nations through them.
Rena taꞌo naa ma, nda hambu esa nau fee dudꞌuꞌat seluꞌ sa ena. Basa ma, Paulus no Barnabas dui seluꞌ, taꞌo bee fo Lamatualain pake se. Ara dui manadadꞌiꞌ ra, no manaseliꞌ ra fo Lamatualain tao mia atahori nda Yahudi ra taladꞌa nara sa.
13 Now when they finished, James reacted saying: “Men, brothers, listen to me.
Dꞌui basa ma, atahori sa, naran Yakobis, nambariiꞌ de olaꞌ nae, “Toronoo nggare! Rena au dei!
14 Simeon has described how God first intervened to extract from the Gentiles a people for His name.
Aꞌa Petrus feꞌe dui basa hita, nae Lamatualain soꞌu atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, fo dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ Yesus bobꞌonggi Na.
15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
Naa, ndaa no saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara rafadꞌe eniꞌ a dalahulu na. Te ara suraꞌ rae:
16 ‘After these things I will return, and I will rebuild David's tent, the fallen one; yes, I will rebuild its ruins and restore it;
‘Losa fai na, Au baliꞌ. Huu Au ae ufefela baliꞌ mane Daud parenda na. Eni tititi-nonosi nara sea-saranggaa. Ma Au ae ufefela baliꞌ, ma tao manggatetee e fai.
17 so that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles—the ones, that is, upon whom my name has been called—says the Lord who does all these things.’
No taꞌo naa, atahori mia nusa feaꞌ ra rema randaa ro Au. Te Au o tengga se, dadꞌi atahori Nggara. Lamatualain olaꞌ taꞌo naa mia dalahulu na!’
18 All His works are known to God from eternity. (aiōn g165)
De mia au, Yakobis, taꞌo ia: Mete ma atahori mia leo feaꞌ ra rae tungga Lamatualain, hita atahori Yahudi ra afiꞌ tao neꞌesususaꞌ se. Hita afiꞌ tao bꞌerat ma denu se tungga hita adat sunat na. De hita musi suraꞌ susura esa, haitua fee se tae, sira nda parlu tungga basa hita horo-lalane adat Yahudi nara sa. Hita o fee se nesenenedꞌaꞌ, afiꞌ tao leli ro touꞌ do inaꞌ. Afiꞌ raa sisi sosonggoꞌ. Afiꞌ raa sisi raaꞌ. Afiꞌ raa sisi mia banda mana neneꞌee nisaꞌ. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore I judge that we should not create difficulty for those who are turning to God from among the ethnic nations,
20 but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from fornication, from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 For from ancient generations Moses has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Dadꞌi mete ma hita tao dalaꞌ taꞌo ia, naa nda dala feuꞌ sa. Atahori hetar bubꞌuluꞌ ena, hita atahori Yahudi ra adat na memaꞌ taꞌo naa ena. Tungga fai hahae aoꞌ hita baca baꞌi Musa se horo-lalanen naa sia ume hule-oꞌe ra sudꞌiꞌ a sia bee-bꞌee. De atahori leo feaꞌ ra basa se bubꞌuluꞌ. Au oꞌola ngga taꞌo naa ena. Makasi!”
22 Then it pleased the apostles and the elders, with the whole congregation, to send chosen men from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas (the one called Barsabas) and Silas, leading men among the brothers.
Basa ma, Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara ro lasi feaꞌ ra ro basa atahori sarani ra sia Yerusalem, rala haraꞌ sa fo denu atahori rafadꞌe sira neꞌetu na neu atahori saraniꞌ sia mamanaꞌ feaꞌ. De ara sangga atahori nemehereꞌ nandaa no ues naa. Ara tengga atahori rua. Esa naran Silas, esa fai, naran Yudas (fo roꞌe rae Barsabas). Ara denu ruꞌa se tungga Paulus ma Barnabas sudꞌiꞌ a bee reu.
23 They wrote by their hand the following: “The apostles and the elders and the brothers, to the Gentile brothers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings.
Ara rendi susura fee atahori nda Yahudi sa sia kota Antiokia sia nusa Siria, losa nusa Kilikia. Susura naa, lii na taꞌo ia: “Sodꞌa-moleꞌ mia hai, Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara, ma lasi feaꞌ sia Yerusalem ia. Hai suraꞌ susura fee hei, fo hai sue onaꞌ odꞌi-aꞌa bonggiꞌ e.
24 Since we have heard that some who went out from among us have disturbed you with words, unsettling your souls, saying that you must be circumcised and keep the Law—to whom we gave no such authorization—
Hai suraꞌ susura ia, huu hai rena mae, atahori hira mia Yerusalem ia reti randaa ro hei ena. Ara ranori leli losa raꞌasususaꞌ ma tao hei bingun. Sadꞌi hei bubꞌuluꞌ, hai nda denu atahori naa ra sa.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Hai rena atahori tao raꞌasususaꞌ hei taꞌo naa ma, hai miꞌibꞌue de duꞌa dalaꞌ naa. Hai ralaꞌ esa, ma miꞌetuꞌ basa dalaꞌ naa ena. De hai tengga atahori reti rafadꞌe hei, hai neꞌetu ma naa. Ara rema ro Paulus ma Barnabas fo hai sueꞌ ra.
26 men who have risked their lives for the sake of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hita atahori karuaꞌ nara naa ra, lemba doidꞌoso raeꞌ a mate ena, huu tungga hita Malangga na, Yesus Kristus.
27 So we have sent Judas and Silas, who will also confirm these things by word of mouth.
Naa de, hai denu Yudas no Silas, fo rafadꞌe hei susura ia lii na.
28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to place no greater burden upon you than these necessary things:
Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na nafadꞌe hai, de mitaa taꞌo naa mae, hei nda parlu tungga basa hai adat Yahudi mara, onaꞌ adat sunat a. Te adat naa tao namaberaꞌ a hei. Te hambu dalaꞌ esa do rua, fo memaꞌ hei musi misinedꞌa:
29 to abstain from things offered to idols, from ‘blood’, from anything strangled and from fornication; it will be in your own best interest to keep away from these things. Farewell.”
Afiꞌ tao leli mo touꞌ do inaꞌ. Afiꞌ mia sisi sosonggoꞌ. Afi mia raaꞌ. Ma afiꞌ raa sisi mia banda mana neneꞌee nisaꞌ. Mete ma hei minea ao mara mia basa dalaꞌ naa ra, hei nda tao melumudꞌu toronooꞌ atahori Yahudi Kristen ra sa. No onaꞌ naa, hei miꞌibꞌue malolole mo se. Susura ia lii na, taꞌo a naa. Sodꞌa-moleꞌ.”
30 So when they were sent off they came to Antioch, and gathering the crowd they delivered the letter.
Ara simbo rala susura naa ma, Paulus se ratea, de lao risiꞌ kota Antiokia. Losa naa ma, ara raꞌabꞌue basa atahori saraniꞌ ra, de fee susura a neu se.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Baca basa susura ma, basa atahori ra ramahoꞌo, huu susura lii na tao rala nara manggatee ena.
32 Both Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many words.
Lamatualain o pake Yudas no Silas, dadꞌi mana ola-olaꞌ Na. Ruꞌa se, dui-bꞌengga naeꞌ neu atahori mamahereꞌ sia naa. Ara fee nenoriꞌ ma tao manggatee rala nara.
33 After some time, they were released with peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Ruꞌa se leo mia naa nda dooꞌ sa ma, atahori saraniꞌ sia Antiokia ra fee se baliꞌ risiꞌ atahori mana denu se. Ara mboꞌi ruꞌa se no sodꞌa-moleꞌ.
[Te Silas nae leo nakandoo sia Antiokia.]
35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the Word of the Lord, with many others also.
Paulus no Barnabas leo dodꞌoo mia naa. Ara o tulu-fali atahori feaꞌ mana ranori Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na.
36 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return now and visit our brothers in each city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Paulus no Barnabas leo nda dooꞌ sa sia Antiokia ma, Paulus olaꞌ no Barnabas nae, “Aꞌa! Uma fo baliꞌ teu sia basa mamanaꞌ feꞌesaꞌan hita tuliꞌ ra. Teu seꞌu sobꞌa toronooꞌ ra masodꞌa na ra. Ara taꞌo bee, e? Ara ramahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus nda feꞌe dooꞌ sa. Feꞌe saꞌa naa, hita tanori se. De uma fo teu seꞌu se dei.”
37 Now Barnabas resolved to take John (the one called Mark) along as well.
Barnabas rena Paulus naꞌo naa ma, ana naꞌaheiꞌ a. Ana nae no Yohanis (fo roꞌe rae Markus) fo tungga no se.
38 But Paul insisted on not taking someone who had deserted them in Pamphilia and not gone with them to the work.
Te Paulus nda nau saa. Huu maꞌahulu na, Markus fela lao hela se mia nusa Pamfilia.
39 Well the contention became so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus;
Paulus no Barnabas rareresi seli losa ruꞌa se saranggaa. De Barnabas no Markus sae ofaꞌ risiꞌ pulu Siprus.
40 while Paul chose Silas and set out, having been commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Te Paulus noꞌe no Silas. Ara rae lao ma, atahori mamahereꞌ sia Antiokia ra hule-oꞌe roꞌe Lamatualain nanea se, ma natudꞌu rala malole Na neu se. Hule-oꞌe basa ma, ruꞌa se lao.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the congregations.
Ara reu ndule nusa Siria ma nusa Kilikia. Ara tao manggatee atahori mamahereꞌ ra rala nara, sia sudꞌi a bee-bꞌee.
