Acts 15
1 But certain persons came down from Judea, and began to teach the Lord’s followers that, unless they were circumcised, in accordance with the custom required by Moses, they could not 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 This gave rise to a serious dispute, and much discussion, between Paul and Barnabas and these people, and it was therefore settled that Paul and Barnabas and others of their number should go up to Jerusalem, to consult the apostles and church elders about the matter under discussion.
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 The church, therefore, sent them on their journey, and they made their way through Phoenicia and Samaria, telling the story of the conversion of the Gentiles, to the great joy of all the followers.
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 On their arrival at Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, as well as by the apostles and the elders, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do.
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 Some of the Pharisees’ party, however, who had become believers in Christ, came forward and declared that they were bound to circumcise converts and to direct them to observe 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 The apostles and the church elders held a meeting to consider this question.
Basa de, atahori saraniꞌ ra rala haraꞌ esa rae, Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara ro lasi Kristen ra, raꞌabꞌue fo dudꞌuꞌa dalaꞌ naa.
7 After much discussion, Peter rose and said: ‘You, my friends, know well that long ago God singled me out – that through my lips the Gentiles should hear the message of the good news, and become believers in Christ.
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 Now God, who reads all hearts, declared his acceptance of the Gentiles, 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 He made no distinction between them and us, when he purified their hearts by their 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 Why, then, do you now provoke God, by putting on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our ancestors nor we were 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 No, it is through the loving kindness of the Lord Jesus that we, just as they do, believe that we have been saved.’
12 Every voice in the assembly was hushed, as they listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they gave an account of all the signs and wonders which God had shown among the Gentiles 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 After they had finished speaking, James addressed the Council. ‘Friends,’ he began, ‘hear what I have to say.
Dꞌui basa ma, atahori sa, naran Yakobis, nambariiꞌ de olaꞌ nae, “Toronoo nggare! Rena au dei!
14 Simon has described the manner in which God first visited the Gentiles, in order to take from among them a people to bear his name.
Aꞌa Petrus feꞌe dui basa hita, nae Lamatualain soꞌu atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, fo dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ Yesus bobꞌonggi Na.
15 And that is in harmony with the words of the prophets, where they say –
Naa, ndaa no saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara rafadꞌe eniꞌ a dalahulu na. Te ara suraꞌ rae:
16 “After this I will return; and I will rebuild the house of David which has fallen – its ruins I will rebuild, and will set it up once more;
‘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 that so the rest of mankind may earnestly seek the Lord – even all the Gentiles on whom my name has been bestowed,
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!’
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 In my judgment, therefore, we should not add to the difficulties of those Gentiles who are turning to God,
20 but we should write to them to abstain from food that has been polluted by being sacrificed to idols, from impurity, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from blood.
21 For in every town, for generations past, there have been those who preach Moses, read as he is 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 It was then decided by the apostles and the elders, with the assent of the whole church, to choose some of their number, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. Those chosen were Judas (called Barsabas) and Silas, who were leaders among the community.
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 were bearers of the following letter – “The apostles, and the followers who are the church elders, send their greetings to the followers of the Lord of Gentile birth in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia.
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 As we had heard that some of our number had upset you by their assertions, and unsettled your minds – without instructions from us –
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 We met and decided to choose certain men and send them to you with our dear friends 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 who have risked their lives for 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 We are accordingly sending Judas and Silas, and they will tell you by word of mouth what we are now writing.
Naa de, hai denu Yudas no Silas, fo rafadꞌe hei susura ia lii na.
28 We have, therefore, decided, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to lay no further burden on you beyond these necessary conditions –
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 That you abstain from food offered to idols, from blood, from eating the flesh of strangled animals, and from impurity. If you guard yourselves against such things, it will be well with you. 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 the bearers of this letter were sent on their way, and went down to Antioch. There they called a meeting of all the followers,
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 and delivered the letter, the reading of which caused great rejoicing by its encouraging contents.
Baca basa susura ma, basa atahori ra ramahoꞌo, huu susura lii na tao rala nara manggatee ena.
32 Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, further encouraged the them by many an address, and strengthened their faith.
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 stay, they were dismissed with kind farewells from the followers, and returned to those who had sent them.
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 Paul and Barnabas, however, remained in Antioch, where they taught and, with the help of many others, told the good news of the Lord’s message.
Paulus no Barnabas leo dodꞌoo mia naa. Ara o tulu-fali atahori feaꞌ mana ranori Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na.
36 Some time after this, Paul said to Barnabas, ‘Let us go back and visit the Lord’s followers in every town in which we have told the Lord’s message, and see how they are prospering.’
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 Barnabas wished to take with them John, whose other name was Mark;
Barnabas rena Paulus naꞌo naa ma, ana naꞌaheiꞌ a. Ana nae no Yohanis (fo roꞌe rae Markus) fo tungga no se.
38 but Paul felt that they ought not to take with them the man who had deserted them in Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to their work.
Te Paulus nda nau saa. Huu maꞌahulu na, Markus fela lao hela se mia nusa Pamfilia.
39 This caused such unpleasant feeling between them that they parted ways, Barnabas taking Mark and sailing for Cyprus,
Paulus no Barnabas rareresi seli losa ruꞌa se saranggaa. De Barnabas no Markus sae ofaꞌ risiꞌ pulu Siprus.
40 while Paul chose Silas for his companion and, after he had been committed by the followers to the gracious care of the Lord,
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 started on his journey and went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches in the faith.
Ara reu ndule nusa Siria ma nusa Kilikia. Ara tao manggatee atahori mamahereꞌ ra rala nara, sia sudꞌi a bee-bꞌee.
