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 Paul okv Barnabas bunyi so gv lvgabv bunua lvkobv achialvbv larmi sunya toku, vkvlvgabv Paul okv Barnabas okv Antiok gv nyi meegonv Jerusalem lo vngla okv Apostol vdwa okv nyigagatv vdwgv lvkobv soogv raagv dvnam sum kaarung svgo vla japmi sunya toku.
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 Gvrja lokv bunua kanam toku bunuv lamtv lo vngdungto; okv bunu vbv Poenesia okv Samaria bv vngpik nyato, bunua oguaingbv Jentail vdwv Pwknvyarnv gvlo aadu kudw um mimpa kartoku; so yunying ngv mvngjwngnv vdwlo gwlwk jinamv mvnwng ngv achialvbv himpu nyatoku.
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 Vdwlo bunu Jerusalem lo vngchi tokudw, bunua gvrja vdwv alvbv naarwk sinyatoku, Apostol vdwa, okv nyigagatv vdwa, Paul la Barnabas bunyi Pwknvyarnv oguaingbv bunyi am rinv la ripvkudw um japji toku.
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 Vbvritola Parisis apam lokv mvngjwngnv meegonv dakto la okv minto, “Jentail vdwv ayakmvu rirungtoka okv Moses gv Pvbv nga tvvdubv mintoka.”
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 Apostol vdwv okv nyigagatv vdwv so tvvka nam um alv bvju vla kaarwk sunyato.
The apostles and elders met together to discuss the issue.
7 Achialvbv raakwng minsuro kochingbv Pitar dakrap la minto, “Ngoogv ajin vdwv, nonu chinyado kvvlo gvngv Pwknvyarnv nga nonugv pingko loka goklinto Jentail nyi vdwgvlo Alvnv Yunying nga japji dubv, vkvlvgabv ho bunu tvvria tvla okv mvngjwng dubv.
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 Okv Pwknvyarnv yvvdw nyichar mvnwng gv mvngnam saknama chinv, ngonua rinam aingbv Jentail nyi vdwaka Darwknv Dowa ninyigv jinama kaatam jito.
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 Hv ngonua okv bunua pingkolo yvvnyika akusubv mvngnam kaama; hv bunugv rimur am mvngnga jipvku ogulvgavbolo bunuka mvngjwngto.
He doesn't make any distinction between us and them—he cleansed their thoughts as they trusted in him.

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 Vv makv! Ngonu mvngjwngnam lvgabv okv Ahtu Jisu gv anyuaya ngv ringpv kunv, vbvching bunu nyika rdunv.”
We're convinced that we're saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way they are.”

Everyone listened attentively to Barnabas and Paul as they explained the miraculous signs that God had performed through them among the foreigners.
13 Vdwlo bunu japnya kunam gola, Jems japrapto: “Ngoogv ajin vdwa, nga tvriato!
After they had finished speaking, James spoke up, saying, “Brothers, listen to me.
14 Saimon vjv mimbwk jigv ibv oguaingbv Pwknvyarnv Jentail nyi vdwa ninyigv chigudabia nga kaatam kunama okv bunua ninyigv nyigvbv laatulake bv naarwk suku nama.
Simon has described how God first revealed his concern for the foreigners by taking from them a people committed to him.
15 Nyijwk vdwgv gaam vdwv so sum lvkobv tulwk minggvto. Kitap lo vbv mindu,
This is in accordance with the words of the prophets, as it's written,
16 ‘Ahtu minto, So kochingbv ngo akur riku, okv Dabid gv karv nga lvkodv laakumlaapa riku. Ngo darmwk kunama um mvdin rikunv okv lvkodv um gwlwk dukubv mvdin riku.
‘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 Okv vkvlvgabv nyi mvnwng ngv ngo gvlo aariku, Jentail nyi mvnwng vka yvv bunua ngo atubogv bv mvngla gokku nam vdwa.
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 “So si ngoogv mvngnamv,” Jems japdungto, ho ngonu mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnv gvlo aakur kunv “Jentail vdwa ridwkriku jimabv.
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 Moses gv pvbv nga kvvlo lokv Jius kumkunaamlo doonu aludwkibv puri rijikito okv ninyigv gaam nga banggu mvnwnglo japjito.”
For the law of Moses has been taught in every town for a long, long time—it's read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

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,

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!

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 Gingdung mvnwng ngv vngnya toku okv Antiok lo vngchi nyalaku, hoka bunu mvngjwngnv apam mvnwng ngv dookum tokula okv bunua siti nga jinya toku.
The men were sent on their way to Antioch. When they arrived they called everybody together and delivered the letter.

After they had read it, the people were so happy for the encouraging message.

Judas and Silas, who were also prophets, encouraged the brothers, explaining many things, and strengthening them.

After spending some time there they were sent back by the brothers with their blessing to the believers in Jerusalem.

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.”

Barnabas planned to take along John Mark too.

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 Hokaku achialvbv larkwng minsu pikula, okv Barnabas Marknyi svpw lokv Saipras bv vnggv toku,
They had such a strong disagreement that they separated. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed to Cyprus.
