1Then some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
1Judea prae hoiah thoemto kaminawk Antiok vangpui ah angzoh o moe, Mosi ih kaalok baktiah tangzat hin na aat o ai nahaeloe, pahlonghaih na hnu o thai mak ai, tiah nawkamyanawk to patuk o.
2And after engaging these men in sharp debate, Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.
2Hae tiah patuk o ih lok pongah Pawl hoi Barnabas mah nihcae to aek hoi, hae kawng pongah lokdueng hanah, Pawl hoi Barnabas loe hnukbang thoemto kaminawk hoi nawnto Jerusalem ah, patoeh ih kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk khaeah caeh han angaih, tiah a thuih hoi.
3Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers.
3Kricaabu mah nihcae patoeh baktih toengah, nihcae loe Phonicia prae, Samaria prae thung hoiah caeh o moe, Gentelnawk poek amkhraihaih kawng to a thuih pae o: to naah nawkamyanawk boih paroeai anghoehaih tawnh o.
4On their arrival in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and apostles and elders, to whom they reported all that God had done through them.
4Nihcae Jerusalem phak o naah, nihcae to kricaabunawk, patoeh ih kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk mah dawt o, nihcae patohhaih rang hoiah Sithaw mah sak ih hmuennawk to thuih pae o boih.
5But some believers from the party of the Pharisees stood up and declared, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses.”
5To naah Farasi abu thung ih thoemto tangcaanawk angdoet o moe, Gentelnawk loe tangzat hin aah moe, Mosi ih kaalok pazui han angaih, tiah a thuih o.
6So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.
6To kawng thuih hanah patoeh ih kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk Jerusalem ah amkhueng o.
7After much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you that the Gentiles would hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.
7Paroeai lok pung o naah, Piter mah angdoet tahang moe, Nawkamyanawk, Canghnii ah Sithaw mah aicae salakah qoih ih kami ah kaom, kai ih pakha thung hoiah Gentelnawk mah kahoih tamthang lok thaih o ueloe, tang o tih, tiah kaom lok to na panoek o boeh.
8And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.
8Palungthin panoekkung Sithaw mah, Aicae khaeah paek ih baktih toengah, nihcae khaeah Kacai Muithla paek naah, nihcae loe hnukung ah oh o.
9He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.
9Aicae hoi nihcae lahhaih om ai, tanghaih rang hoiah nihcae ih palungthin to ciimsak boeh.
10Now then, why do you test God by placing on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear?
10To tiah nahaeloe tih han ih aicae hoi aicae ampanawk mah phaw thai ai ih hmuen to, hnukbang kaminawk ih tahnong ah koeng pae hanah, Sithaw to na tanoek o loe?
11On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
11Nihcae loe Angraeng Jesu tahmenhaih rang hoiah pahlong ah oh o baktih toengah, aicae doeh pahlong ah om tih, tiah a thuih pae.
12The whole assembly fell silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul describing the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them.
12Barnabas hoi Paul mah doeh Sithaw mah nihnik patohhaih rang hoiah Gentel kaminawk khaeah a sak hoi ih dawnrai hmuen hoi anghmang kathok hmuennawk to a thuih hoi toeng, to naah kaminawk boih anghngai o duem, a thuih hoi ih lok to tahngaih pae o.
13When they had finished speaking, James declared, “Brothers, listen to me!
13Nihnik lokthuih hoi pacoengah James mah, Nawkamyanawk, tahngai oh:
14Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.
14Sithaw loe angmah ih ahmin hanah, Gentel thung hoiah thoemto kaminawk to lak hanah tangsuek nathuem hoi boeh ni nihcae khaeah caeh boeh, tiah Simon mah ang thuih o boeh.
15The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:
15Hae lok loe tahmaanawk mah thuih ih lok hoiah adue;
16‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,
16hae pacoengah Kam laem let moe, kamtimh tangcae, David ih kahni im to Ka sak let han; Ka pathawk let moe, kamro hmuennawk to ka sak let han:
17so that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by My name, says the Lord who does these things
17Ka hmin hoiah kawk ih, kaminawk hoi kanghmat Gentelnawk boih mah, Angraeng to pakrong o tih, tiah hae hmuennawk boih sahkung Angraeng mah thuih, tiah tarik ih lok to oh.
18that have been known for ages.’
18Sithaw loe long amtong tangsuek nathuem hoiah a sak han koi toknawk to panoek boih boeh.
19It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
19To pongah aicae mah Sithaw khaeah kangqoi Gentel kaminawk hae raihaih paek han om ai, tiah ka poek.
20Instead, we should write and tell them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals, and from blood.
20Toe tangsuek nathuem hoiah Mosi kawng to vangpui kruekah taphong o boeh moe, Sabbath ni kruek anih kawng to Sineko ah kroek o boeh pongah, pakhra bokhaih moi to caa ai, zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zaehaih to sah ai, tahnong panamh moe, kadueh moi hoi athii to caa ai, ayae o hanah ca tarik pae si, tiah poekhaih ka tawnh, tiah a thuih.
21For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

22Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to select men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas called Barsabbas and Silas, two leaders among the brothers,
22To pacoengah patoeh ih kaminawk, kacoehtanawk hoi kricaabunawk boih mah angmacae thung hoiah qoih ih kaminawk to Antiok vangpui ah Pawl hoi Barnabas khaeah nawnto patoeh hanah palung adue o: nihcae mah nawkamynawk thungah kalen koek Juda, tiah ahmin kaom Barsabas hoi Silas to qoih o.
23and sent them with this letter: The apostles and the elders, your brothers, To the brothers among the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: Greetings.
23Nihcae mah, Patoeh ih kaminawk, kacoehtanawk, nawkamyanawk, Antiok, Syria hoi Cilicia prae ah kaom, Gentel nawkamyanawk: Ban kang sin o:
24It has come to our attention that some went out from us without our authorization and unsettled you, troubling your minds by what they said.
24kaicae panoekhaih om ai ah, kaicae khae hoi thoemto kaminawk nangcae khaeah angzoh o moe, tangzat hin aah han angaih, kaalok pazui han angaih, tiah ang thuih o ih loknawk mah, raihaih ang paek o moe, palungthin nam ro o boeh, tiah ka thaih o.
25So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
25To pongah a palung o ih Pawl, Barnabas hnik hoi nawnto qoih ih kaminawk to nangcae khaeah patoeh si, tiah palung aduehaih ka tawnh o,
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
26nihnik loe aicae Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin pongah hinghaih paek kami ah oh hoi.
27Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.
27To pongah kang thuih o ih lok baktih toengah nangcae khaeah pakha hoi thuih hanah, Juda hoi Silas to kang patoeh o.
28It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:
28Kangaih hmuennawk laep ah, nangcae nuiah kalen hmuenzit koeng han om ai, tiah Kacai Muithla rang hoiah kho ka poek o;
29You must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.
29krang bokhaih caaknaek, athii, tahnong panam moe, kadueh moi hoi zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zae sakhaihnawk to na yae o nahaeloe, ngan na tui o tih, tiah ca tarik pae o.
30So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.
30Antiok vangpui ah caeh hoi hanah, nihnik to patoeh o: toah paroeai kaminawk nawnto amkhuengsak moe, ca to a paek hoi:
31When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.
31nihcae mah ca to kroek o naah, thapaekhaih lok to oh pongah nihcae loe anghoe o.
32Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
32Juda hoi Silas doeh tahmaa ah oh hoi pongah, nawkamyanawk khaeah paroeai thapaekhaih lok to a thuih pae hoi moe, palungthin thacak hoi sak.
33After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.
33Ni nazetto thungah maw a cam hoi pacoengah, nawkamyanawk mah nihnik to patoeh ih kaminawk khaeah lunghoihta ah amlaem o sak.

34Toe Silas loe toah cam han koeh vop.
35But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.
35Pawl hoi Barnabas loe Antiok vangpui ah oh hoi poe, Angraeng ih lok to kalah paroeai kaminawk khaeah doeh a thuih hoi moe, patuk hoi.
36Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the brothers in every town where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
36Atue nazetto maw akra pacoengah Pawl mah Barnabas khaeah, Angraeng ih lok a thuih hoi haih vangpui kruekah caeh si loe, nawkamyanawk to paqai si, nihcae kawbangmaw oh o, tito khen si, tiah a naa.
37Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.
37Barnabas mah Mark, tiah kawk o ih Johan to caeh haih han koeh.
38But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.
38Toe toksak hanah nihnik hoi nawnto caeh ai, Pamphylia vangpui ah nihnik to cawnhtaak ving pongah, Pawl mah Mark to caeh haih han koeh ai.
39Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus,
39Mark pongah paroeai lok angaek hoi moe, maeto hoi maeto ampraek hoi: to pongah Barnabas mah Mark to kawk moe, Cyprus ah caeh haih.
40but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
40Toe Sithaw tahmenhaih pongah nawkamyanawk mah thuih pae o ih, Silas to Pawl mah qoih moe, a caeh haih.
41And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
41Anih loe Syria hoiah Cilicia prae ah caeh moe, kricaabunawk thapaekhaih lok to thuih.
