1YA manmato palo taotao sija guinin Judea, ya jafanagüe y mañelo ilegñija: Yaguin ti manmasirconsida jamyo taemano y costumbren Moises, ti siña jamyo mansatbo.

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.”

2Ya anae megae na inaguaguat yan finaesen as Pablo yan Barnabé yan sija, y maneio jaayeg si Pablo yan si Barnabé, yan palo guiya sija, para ujafanjanao julo Jerusalem guiya apostoles yan manamco pot este na finaesen.

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.

3Enao mina anae manmaesgaejon ni y iglesia gui jinanaoñija, manmalofan y inanaco Finesia, yan Samaria, ya masasangan claro y manmañotsot y Gentiles; ya ninafangosmagof y mañelo todos.

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.

4Ya anae manmato Jerusalem, manmaresibe gui iglesia yan y apostoles, yan y manamco; ya jadeclara todo y finatinas Yuus pot sija.

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.

5Lao mangajulo güije palo sija y inetnon Fariseo ni y manmanjonggue, ya ilegnija: Nesesita ufanmasirconsida sija, yan ufanmatago ya ujaadaje y tinago Moises.

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.”

6Ya mandaña y apostoles yan y manamco para ujajasuye este.

6So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.

7Ya anae esta megae na finaesen, cumajulo si Pedro ya ilegña nu sija: Mañelo lalaje, intingoja jafa na manayeg si Yuus guiya jamyo, apmam na tiempo, na y Gentiles ujajungog y sinangan y ibangelio pot y pachotjo, ya ujajonggue.

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.

8Yan si Yuus, ni y tumungo y corason, janafantestigo sija, yan janae ni y Espiritu Santo, jaftaemanoja y jafatinas guiya jita;

8And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.

9Ya taya japolo dinesparejo entre sija yan jita, janafangasgas y corasonñija ni y jinenggue.

9He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.

10Ya jafa pago mina intietienta si Yuus, para inpelo y yugo gui agaga y disipulo sija, na ni y mañaenata ni jita tisiña jacatga?

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?

11Lao tajonggue na pot y grasian y Señot Jesus utafansatbo, taegüije iya sija.

11On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”

12Ayonae manmamatquilo todo y linajyan taotao, ya maatituye si Pablo yan Barnabé ni y jasasangan y señot sija yan y mannamanman jafatinas si Yuus gui entalo Gentiles pot sija.

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.

13Ya anae manmamatquilo, manope si Santiago ilegña: Mañelo lalaje, ecungogyo.

13When they had finished speaking, James declared, “Brothers, listen to me!

14Jasangan si Simeon jaftaemano si Yuus ni y jabisita finena y Gentiles, para ufangone guiya sija taotao para y naanña.

14Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.

15Yan pot este na manparejo y sinangan y profeta sija, ni y esta manmatugue:

15The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:

16Anae esta munjayan estesija, jutalo mague, ya jujatsa y tabernaculon David, ni y podong; yan jujatsa talo y manmayulang güije, yan juplanta julo;

16‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,

17Para y manetenjan na taotao, ujaaligao yi Señot, yan todo y Gentiles ni y umafanaan y naanjo.

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

18Ilegña y Señot ni y janamatungo estesija desde y tutujon y tano.

18that have been known for ages.’

19Enaomina y jinasoco taegüine, na mungajit umatborota ayo sija y manguinin y entalo y Gentiles, ya jabira sija para as Yuus.

19It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

20Lao utatuguie sija, ya ujafañuja gui pinetlilon y idolos, yan y inábale, yan y neñicot na gâgâ, yan y jâgâ.

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.

21Sa si Moises gui manmalofan na generasion, guaja gui cada siuda para ufanpredica güe ya utaetae layña gui sinagoga cada sabado na jaane.

21For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”

22Ayonae yañija y apostoles yan y manamco yan todo y iglesia, na umanafanjanao y manmaayeg na taotao gui inetnonñija para Antioquia para ufañija yan si Pablo yan Barnabé; y naanñija, si Judas y apiyiduña Barsabas, yan si Silas, manmagas na taotao sija gui entre y mañelo:

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,

23Ya manmangue carta pot sija, taegüine: Y apostoles yan manamco na mañelo, jasaluda y mañelo na Gentiles ni y mangaegue guiya Antioquia yan Siria yan Silisia:

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.

24Sa injingog na palo ni y manjanao guinin iya jame, maninatborota jamyo ni y sinangan, janataelaye y antenmiyo; lao ti manmannae jam ni enao na tinago:

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.

25Jinasonmame na mandañajam unoja, para innafanjanao y manmaayeg na taotao para jamyo, yan y güinaeyanmame as Pablo yan Barnabé,

25So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

26Taotao sija na janapeligro y jaanenñija pot y naan y Señot Jesucristo.

26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27Enaomina innajanao si Judas yan Silas, ni y infansinangane locue ni y pachotñija taegüineja.

27Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.

28Sa y jinason y Espiritu Santo, yan jame, na munga mapolo gui jilomiyo mas dangculo na catga qui y manesesita.

28It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:

29Na infañuja gui nengcano ni y manmaofrese y idolos, yan y jâgâ, yan y neñicot na gâgâ, yan y inábale; ya yaguin inadaje jamyo estesija, infatinas mauleg. Adios jamyo todos.

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.

30Ya anae manajanao, manmato Antioquia: ya janafandaña y linajyan taotao, maentrega y catta;

30So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.

31Ni y anae munjayan mataetae, ninafansenmagof, pot y consuelo.

31When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.

32Ya si Judas yan Silas manprofeta locue, ya japagat y mañelo ni y megae na sinangan, yan janafitme sija.

32Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.

33Ya mañaga güije didide na tiempo, despues manafanjanao en pas ni y mañelo, para y manmatago sija.

33After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.

34Lao si Silas ninamagof na ufañasagaja güije.

no verse 34 in this text

35Si Pablo yan si Barnabé mañasaga gui Antioquia, na mamananagüe, yan manpredidica ni y sinangan y Señot; yan megae palo locue.

35But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.

36Ya anae malofan palo jaane, ilegña si Pablo as Barnabé: Nije tajanao talo ya tabisita ya mañeluta gui cada siuda anae y guinin tapredica y sinangan y Señot, ya utalie jafa chechoñija.

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.”

37Ya si Barnabé malago na ujacone gachongñija si Juan, ni y apiyiduña Marcos.

37Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.

38Lao y jinasoña si Pablo, na ti mauleg na ufañija, sa sumuja guiya sija desde Pamfilia, ya ti mandinalalag sija gui checho.

38But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.

39Ya jumuyong dangculon minaguaguat, ya manadisapatta; ya si Barnabé jacone si Marcos, ya mangama gui batco para Chipre;

39Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus,

40Ya si Pablo jayeg si Silas ya mapos, manmaencatga ni y mañelo ni y grasian Yuus.

40but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.

41Ya jumanao todo inanco Siria yan Silisia, janafanfitme y inetnon mangilisyano sija.

41And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
