1And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
1Judea lamkah aka suntla hlangvang loh, “Moses kah khosing bangla yahvin na rhet pawt atah khang la na om thai mahpawh, “tila manuca rhoek te a thuituen uh.
2And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
2Te dongah olpungnah om tih Paul, Barnabas neh amih laklo kah oelhtaihnah te a yool mai moenih. Te oldawtnah dongah Jerusalem kah caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek taengah Paul, Barnabas neh amih lamkah hlangtloe khat khat te caeh sak ham a mop uh.
3They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
3Hlangboel loh a thak uh tih Phoiniki neh Samaria ah a caeh uh vaengah namtom rhoek kah thovaelnah te a saep uh. Te vaengah manuca boeih tah omngaihnah muep a cuen pah.
4And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
4Jerusalem a pha uh vaengah hlangboel, caeltueih neh a ham rhoek loh a doe uh tih, amih taengah Pathen loh a saii pah te a puen pa uh.
5But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
5Tedae Pharisee buhlaelh lamkah hlangvang aka pai rhoek long khaw a tangnah tih, “Namtom te yahvin rhet sak tih Moses kah olkhueng tuem sak ham uen a kuek,” a ti uh.
6And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
6Te dongah hekah olka kawng ming hamla caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek tah tingtun uh.
7And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
7Oelhtaihnah muep a om dongah Peter loh pai hang tih amih te, “Hlang rhoek manuca rhoek, 'Ka ka lamkah olthangthen ol he namtom a yaak sak tih a tangnah ham khosuen tue lamkah ni Pathen loh nangmih khuikah a tuek te, 'na hmat uh.
8And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
8Mamih taengkah bangla amih taengah khaw lungming Pathen loh a phong pah tih Mueihla Cim a paek coeng.
9And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
9Te dongah mamih neh amih laklo ah a boelhkhoeh moenih. Amih kah thinko he tangnah neh a ciim coeng.
10Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
10A pa rhoek long khaw, mamih long khaw phueih hamla aka coeng pawh hnamkun te hnukbang rhoek kah rhawn ah tloeng pah ham, balae tih Pathen ke na noemcai uh.
11But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
11Khang la om ham he Boeipa Jesuh kah lungvatnah lamloh n'tangnah vanbangla amih long khaw a longim bangla om van,” a ti nah.
12And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
12Rhaengpuei boeih loh kam a khuem. Te vaengah amih rhoi lamloh namtom taengah Pathen loh miknoek neh khobae rhambae a saii pah te Barnabas neh Paul loh a thui rhoi tih a hnatun uh.
13And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
13Amih rhoi te kam a khuem vaengah James loh a doo tih, “Ka manuca rhoek, ka hlang rhoek kai ol hnatun uh lah.
14Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
14A ming ham tah namtom pilnam khuikah khaw loh hamla Pathen loh a hip lamhma te Simeon loh a thui coeng.
15And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
15A daek bangla tonghma rhoek kah ol nen khaw tekah te tluep coeng.
16After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
16Te phoeiah bal vetih David kah dap aka bung te koep ka sak ni. A palet tangtae te khaw koep ka sak vetih ka duel ni.
17That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
17Te daengah ni aka cul rhoek loh Boeipa kah hlang te a tlap vetih, amih te namtom boeih loh ka ming a phoei thil eh.
18To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world.
18'Boeipa loh a saii he khosuen lamkah ni a hmat coeng,’ a ti.
19For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
19Te dongah Pathen taengla aka bal namtom rhoek te toeh pawt ham ni kai tah ka cai.
20But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
20Tedae mueirhol kah a tihnai, Cukhalnah, rhawnkhak sa neh thii te rhael ham amih taengah ca ka pat.
21For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
21Moses cabu te khosuen rhuirhong lamkah khopuei takuem ah a thui uh. Te te tunim ah om tih Sabbath takuem ah a tae coeng,” a ti nah..
22Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
22Te vaengah caeltueih rhoek, patong rhoek neh hlangboel boeih loh, manuca rhoek khuiah hlang aka mawt Barasabbas la a khue Judas neh Silas te amih lamkah hlang la a tuek tih, Paul neh Barnabas taengah Antiok la tueih ham ol a tloek.
23Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
23Amamih kut neh, “Caeltueih rhoek, patong rhoek neh manuca rhoek loh Antiok, Syria neh Kilikia tom kah manuca namtom rhoek te ka uem uh.
24Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
24Hlangvang tah mamih taeng lamkah nong coeng tila ka yaak uh. Nangmih kah hinglu aka toeh olka dongah na hinghuen uh. Amih te ol ka paek uh dae moenih.
25It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
25Te dongah tun ka hui uh tih, “Nangmih taeng neh mamih kah thintlo Barnabas neh Paul taengah hlang tueih ham tuek sih,” a ti uh.
26Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
26Amih tah Jesuh Khrih, mamih kah Boeipa ming ham a hinglu aka voei hlang rhoek ni.
27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
27Te dongah Judas neh Silas te ka tueih uh. Ahmih rhoi khaw amah hmuen la olka neh ha puen rhoi.
28For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
28Te te kuek mai cakhaw thinrhih neh nangmih muep nan pawt ham, kaimih ham khaw Mueihla Cim neh ka poek uh.
29That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
29Tedae mueirhol buh, thii, rhawnkhak neh Cukhalnah tah rhael mai. Te khui lamloh namamih na cue uh te hnothen ni na saii eh?, sading la ne, “tila a daek pah.
30They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
30Te dongah amih tah phih uh tih Antiok la suntla uh. Te phoeiah rhaengpuei te a coi tih capat te a paek uh.
31Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
31Thaphohnah te a tae uh vaengah omngaih uh.
32But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
32Judas neh Silas amamih rhoi khaw tonghma la bok a om rhoi dongah manuca rhoek te olka neh muep a hloep rhoi tih a thoh rhoi.
33And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
33A tue a hnonah rhoi phoeiah ngaimong la phih uh tih manuca rhoek te amih aka tueih rhoek taengla bal uh.
34But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
34Tedae Paul neh Barnabas tah Antiok ah om rhoi pueng dongah,
35And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
35hlangtloe taengah khaw Boeipa kah olka te muep a thuituen tih a phong rhoi.
36And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
36Khohnin bet a di phoeiah Barnabas te Paul loh, “Bal sih lamtah Boeipa olka n'doek nah kho takuem kah manuca rhoek te metla a om uh khaw hip lah sih,” a ti nah.
37And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
37Te vaengah Marku la a khue Johan te khaw Barnabas loh khuen la cai.
38But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
38Tedae anih te Pamphylia lamloh amih rhoi te a nong tak coeng dongah anih te amih rhoi neh puei uh pawt tih bibi la khuen pawt ham te Paul loh a thuem sak.
39And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
39Te dongah amih rhoi te umyanah om tih khat neh khat paek uh rhoi. Te dongah Barnabas tah Kupros la kat ham Marku te a khuen.
40But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
40Paul long khaw manuca rhoek loh Boeipa kah lungvatnah dongah a tloeng tangtae Silas te a khue tih cet van.
41And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
41Te phoeiah Syria neh Kilikia te a hil tih hlangboel rhoek te a thoh.
