使徒行传 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
1有几个人从 犹太 下来，教训弟兄们说：「你们若不按 摩西 的规条受割礼，不能得救。」
1Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
2保罗 、 巴拿巴 与他们大大地纷争辩论； 众门徒 就定规，叫 保罗 、 巴拿巴 和本会中几个人，为所辩论的，上 耶路撒冷 去见使徒和长老。
2Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3于是教会送他们起行。他们经过 腓尼基 、 撒马利亚 ，随处传说外邦人归主的事，叫众弟兄都甚欢喜。
3They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
4到了 耶路撒冷 ，教会和使徒并长老都接待他们，他们就述说 神同他们所行的一切事。
4When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
5惟有几个信徒是法利赛教门的人，起来说：「必须给外邦人行割礼，吩咐他们遵守 摩西 的律法。」
5But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
6使徒和长老聚会商议这事；
6The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
7辩论已经多了， 彼得 就起来，说：「诸位弟兄，你们知道 神早已在你们中间拣选了我，叫外邦人从我口中得听福音之道，而且相信。
7When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
8知道人心的 神也为他们作了见证，赐圣灵给他们，正如给我们一样；
8God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
9又借着信洁净了他们的心，并不分他们我们。
9He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
10现在为什么试探 神，要把我们祖宗和我们所不能负的轭放在门徒的颈项上呢？
10Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11我们得救乃是因主耶稣的恩，和他们一样，这是我们所信的。」
11But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
12众人都默默无声，听 巴拿巴 和 保罗 述说 神借他们在外邦人中所行的神迹奇事。
12All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
13他们住了声， 雅各 就说：「诸位弟兄，请听我的话。
13After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
14方才 西门 述说 神当初怎样眷顾外邦人，从他们中间选取百姓归于自己的名下；
14Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
15众先知的话也与这意思相合。
15This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
16正如 经上 所写的： 此后，我要回来， 重新修造 大卫 倒塌的帐幕， 把那破坏的重新修造建立起来，
16‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
17叫余剩的人， 就是凡称为我名下的外邦人， 都寻求主。
17that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
18这话是从创世以来显明这事的主说的。
18“All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.
19「所以据我的意见，不可难为那归服 神的外邦人；
19Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
20只要写信，吩咐他们禁戒偶像的污秽和奸淫，并勒死的牲畜和血。
20but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
21因为从古以来， 摩西 的书 在各城有人传讲，每逢安息日，在会堂里诵读。」
21For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22那时，使徒和长老并全教会定意从他们中间拣选人，差他们和 保罗 、 巴拿巴 同往 安提阿 去； 所拣选的 就是称呼 巴撒巴 的 犹大 和 西拉 。这两个人在弟兄中是作首领的。
22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
23于是写信交付他们，内中说：「使徒和作长老的弟兄们问 安提阿 、 叙利亚 、 基利家 外邦众弟兄的安。
23They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
24我们听说，有几个人从我们这里出去，用言语搅扰你们，惑乱你们的心。其实我们并没有吩咐他们。
24Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
25所以，我们同心定意，拣选几个人，差他们同我们所亲爱的 巴拿巴 和 保罗 往你们那里去。
25it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26这二人是为我主耶稣基督的名不顾性命的。
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27我们就差了 犹大 和 西拉 ，他们也要亲口诉说这些事。
27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28因为圣灵和我们定意不将别的重担放在你们身上，惟有几件事是不可少的，
28For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
29就是禁戒祭偶像的物和血，并勒死的牲畜和奸淫。这几件你们若能自己禁戒不犯就好了。愿你们平安！」
29that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
30他们既奉了差遣，就下 安提阿 去，聚集众人，交付书信。
30So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
31众人念了，因为信上安慰的话就欢喜了。
31When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
32犹大 和 西拉 也是先知，就用许多话劝勉弟兄，坚固他们。
32Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
33住了些日子，弟兄们打发他们平平安安地回到差遣他们的人那里去。
33After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
35但 保罗 和 巴拿巴 仍住在 安提阿 ，和许多别人一同教训人，传主的道。
35But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36过了些日子， 保罗 对 巴拿巴 说：「我们可以回到从前宣传主道的各城，看望弟兄们景况如何。」
36After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
37巴拿巴 有意要带称呼 马可 的 约翰 同去；
37Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
38但 保罗 因为 马可 从前在 旁非利亚 离开他们，不和他们同去做工，就以为不可带他去。
38But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
39于是二人起了争论，甚至彼此分开。 巴拿巴 带着 马可 ，坐船往 塞浦路斯 去；
39Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
40保罗 拣选了 西拉 ，也出去，蒙弟兄们把他交于主的恩中。
40but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
41他就走遍 叙利亚 、 基利家 ，坚固众教会。
41He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
