Ded'enu' ra Dud'uin 15
1 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 Basa de, atahori saraniꞌ ra rala haraꞌ esa rae, Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara ro lasi Kristen ra, raꞌabꞌue fo dudꞌuꞌa dalaꞌ naa.
The apostles and elders met together to discuss the issue.
7 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.
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 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.
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 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.
He doesn't make any distinction between us and them—he cleansed their thoughts as they trusted in him.
10 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.”
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?
We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”
12 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.
Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.
13 Dꞌui basa ma, atahori sa, naran Yakobis, nambariiꞌ de olaꞌ nae, “Toronoo nggare! Rena au dei!
After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 Aꞌa Petrus feꞌe dui basa hita, nae Lamatualain soꞌu atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, fo dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ Yesus bobꞌonggi Na.
Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.
15 Naa, ndaa no saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara rafadꞌe eniꞌ a dalahulu na. Te ara suraꞌ rae:
This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,
16 ‘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.
‘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 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!’
I will do this so that those who are left may come to the Lord, including the foreigners who call on my name.
18 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)
This is what the Lord says, who revealed these things long ago.’ (aiōn g165)
So my decision is that we shouldn't make it difficult for foreigners who turn to God.
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 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!”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
So we have agreed to choose some representatives and send them to you together with our much-loved brothers Barnabas and Paul,
26 Hita atahori karuaꞌ nara naa ra, lemba doidꞌoso raeꞌ a mate ena, huu tungga hita Malangga na, Yesus Kristus.
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Naa de, hai denu Yudas no Silas, fo rafadꞌe hei susura ia lii na.
So we are sending to you Judas and Silas who can verbally confirm what we're saying.
28 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:
It seemed best to the Holy Spirit and to us not to place on you any heavier burden than these important requirements.
29 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.”
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 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.
The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.
31 Baca basa susura ma, basa atahori ra ramahoꞌo, huu susura lii na tao rala nara manggatee ena.
After they had read it, the people were so happy for the encouraging message.
32 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.
Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, encouraged the brothers, explaining many things, and strengthening them.
33 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.
After spending some time there they were sent back by the brothers with their blessing to the believers in Jerusalem.
34 [Te Silas nae leo nakandoo sia Antiokia.]
35 Paulus no Barnabas leo dodꞌoo mia naa. Ara o tulu-fali atahori feaꞌ mana ranori Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na.
But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of God along with many others.
36 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.”
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 rena Paulus naꞌo naa ma, ana naꞌaheiꞌ a. Ana nae no Yohanis (fo roꞌe rae Markus) fo tungga no se.
Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.
38 Te Paulus nda nau saa. Huu maꞌahulu na, Markus fela lao hela se mia nusa Pamfilia.
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 Paulus no Barnabas rareresi seli losa ruꞌa se saranggaa. De Barnabas no Markus sae ofaꞌ risiꞌ pulu Siprus.
They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.
40 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.
Paul chose Silas, and as they left, the believers committed them to the grace of the Lord.
41 Ara reu ndule nusa Siria ma nusa Kilikia. Ara tao manggatee atahori mamahereꞌ ra rala nara, sia sudꞌi a bee-bꞌee.
Paul traveled through Syria and Cilicia, encouraging the churches there.
