Berean Standard Bible
1και τινεσ κατελθοντεσ απο τησ ιουδαιασ εδιδασκον τουσ αδελφουσ οτι εαν μη περιτεμνησθε τω εθει μωυσεωσ ου δυνασθε σωθηναι
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.”
2γενομενησ ουν στασεωσ και ζητησεωσ ουκ ολιγησ τω παυλω και τω βαρναβα προσ αυτουσ εταξαν αναβαινειν παυλον και βαρναβαν και τινασ αλλουσ εξ αυτων προσ τουσ αποστολουσ και πρεσβυτερουσ εισ ιερουσαλημ περι του ζητηματοσ τουτου
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.
3οι μεν ουν προπεμφθεντεσ υπο τησ εκκλησιασ διηρχοντο την φοινικην και σαμαρειαν εκδιηγουμενοι την επιστροφην των εθνων και εποιουν χαραν μεγαλην πασιν τοισ αδελφοισ
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.
4παραγενομενοι δε εισ ιερουσαλημ απεδεχθησαν υπο τησ εκκλησιασ και των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων ανηγγειλαν τε οσα ο θεοσ εποιησεν μετ αυτων
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.
5εξανεστησαν δε τινεσ των απο τησ αιρεσεωσ των φαρισαιων πεπιστευκοτεσ λεγοντεσ οτι δει περιτεμνειν αυτουσ παραγγελλειν τε τηρειν τον νομον μωυσεωσ
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.”
6συνηχθησαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι πρεσβυτεροι ιδειν περι του λογου τουτου
6So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.
7πολλησ δε συζητησεωσ γενομενησ αναστασ πετροσ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ αδελφοι υμεισ επιστασθε οτι αφ ημερων αρχαιων ο θεοσ εν ημιν εξελεξατο δια του στοματοσ μου ακουσαι τα εθνη τον λογον του ευαγγελιου και πιστευσαι
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.
8και ο καρδιογνωστησ θεοσ εμαρτυρησεν αυτοισ δουσ αυτοισ το πνευμα το αγιον καθωσ και ημιν
8And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.
9και ουδεν διεκρινεν μεταξυ ημων τε και αυτων τη πιστει καθαρισασ τασ καρδιασ αυτων
9He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.
10νυν ουν τι πειραζετε τον θεον επιθειναι ζυγον επι τον τραχηλον των μαθητων ον ουτε οι πατερεσ ημων ουτε ημεισ ισχυσαμεν βαστασαι
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?
11αλλα δια τησ χαριτοσ του κυριου ιησου πιστευομεν σωθηναι καθ ον τροπον κακεινοι
11On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
12εσιγησεν δε παν το πληθοσ και ηκουον βαρναβα και παυλου εξηγουμενων οσα εποιησεν ο θεοσ σημεια και τερατα εν τοισ εθνεσιν δι αυτων
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.
13μετα δε το σιγησαι αυτουσ απεκριθη ιακωβοσ λεγων ανδρεσ αδελφοι ακουσατε μου
13When they had finished speaking, James declared, “Brothers, listen to me!
14συμεων εξηγησατο καθωσ πρωτον ο θεοσ επεσκεψατο λαβειν εξ εθνων λαον επι τω ονοματι αυτου
14Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.
15και τουτω συμφωνουσιν οι λογοι των προφητων καθωσ γεγραπται
15The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:
16μετα ταυτα αναστρεψω και ανοικοδομησω την σκηνην δαυιδ την πεπτωκυιαν και τα κατεσκαμμενα αυτησ ανοικοδομησω και ανορθωσω αυτην
16‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,
17οπωσ αν εκζητησωσιν οι καταλοιποι των ανθρωπων τον κυριον και παντα τα εθνη εφ ουσ επικεκληται το ονομα μου επ αυτουσ λεγει κυριοσ ο ποιων ταυτα παντα
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
18γνωστα απ αιωνοσ εστιν τω θεω παντα τα εργα αυτου
18that have been known for ages.’
19διο εγω κρινω μη παρενοχλειν τοισ απο των εθνων επιστρεφουσιν επι τον θεον
19It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
20αλλα επιστειλαι αυτοισ του απεχεσθαι απο των αλισγηματων των ειδωλων και τησ πορνειασ και του πνικτου και του αιματοσ
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.
21μωυσησ γαρ εκ γενεων αρχαιων κατα πολιν τουσ κηρυσσοντασ αυτον εχει εν ταισ συναγωγαισ κατα παν σαββατον αναγινωσκομενοσ
21For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
22τοτε εδοξεν τοισ αποστολοισ και τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ συν ολη τη εκκλησια εκλεξαμενουσ ανδρασ εξ αυτων πεμψαι εισ αντιοχειαν συν παυλω και βαρναβα ιουδαν τον επικαλουμενον βαρσαββαν και σιλαν ανδρασ ηγουμενουσ εν τοισ αδελφοισ
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,
23γραψαντεσ δια χειροσ αυτων ταδε οι αποστολοι και οι πρεσβυτεροι και οι αδελφοι τοισ κατα την αντιοχειαν και συριαν και κιλικιαν αδελφοισ τοισ εξ εθνων χαιρειν
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.
24επειδη ηκουσαμεν οτι τινεσ εξ ημων εξελθοντεσ εταραξαν υμασ λογοισ ανασκευαζοντεσ τασ ψυχασ υμων λεγοντεσ περιτεμνεσθαι και τηρειν τον νομον οισ ου διεστειλαμεθα
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.
25εδοξεν ημιν γενομενοισ ομοθυμαδον εκλεξαμενουσ ανδρασ πεμψαι προσ υμασ συν τοισ αγαπητοισ ημων βαρναβα και παυλω
25So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26ανθρωποισ παραδεδωκοσιν τασ ψυχασ αυτων υπερ του ονοματοσ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27απεσταλκαμεν ουν ιουδαν και σιλαν και αυτουσ δια λογου απαγγελλοντασ τα αυτα
27Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.
28εδοξεν γαρ τω αγιω πνευματι και ημιν μηδεν πλεον επιτιθεσθαι υμιν βαροσ πλην των επαναγκεσ τουτων
28It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:
29απεχεσθαι ειδωλοθυτων και αιματοσ και πνικτου και πορνειασ εξ ων διατηρουντεσ εαυτουσ ευ πραξετε ερρωσθε
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.
30οι μεν ουν απολυθεντεσ ηλθον εισ αντιοχειαν και συναγαγοντεσ το πληθοσ επεδωκαν την επιστολην
30So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.
31αναγνοντεσ δε εχαρησαν επι τη παρακλησει
31When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.
32ιουδασ τε και σιλασ και αυτοι προφηται οντεσ δια λογου πολλου παρεκαλεσαν τουσ αδελφουσ και επεστηριξαν
32Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
33ποιησαντεσ δε χρονον απελυθησαν μετ ειρηνησ απο των αδελφων προσ τουσ αποστολουσ
33After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.
35παυλοσ δε και βαρναβασ διετριβον εν αντιοχεια διδασκοντεσ και ευαγγελιζομενοι μετα και ετερων πολλων τον λογον του κυριου
35But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.
36μετα δε τινασ ημερασ ειπεν παυλοσ προσ βαρναβαν επιστρεψαντεσ δη επισκεψωμεθα τουσ αδελφουσ ημων κατα πασαν πολιν εν αισ κατηγγειλαμεν τον λογον του κυριου πωσ εχουσιν
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.”
37βαρναβασ δε εβουλευσατο συμπαραλαβειν τον ιωαννην τον καλουμενον μαρκον
37Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.
38παυλοσ δε ηξιου τον αποσταντα απ αυτων απο παμφυλιασ και μη συνελθοντα αυτοισ εισ το εργον μη συμπαραλαβειν τουτον
38But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.
39εγενετο ουν παροξυσμοσ ωστε αποχωρισθηναι αυτουσ απ αλληλων τον τε βαρναβαν παραλαβοντα τον μαρκον εκπλευσαι εισ κυπρον
39Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus,
40παυλοσ δε επιλεξαμενοσ σιλαν εξηλθεν παραδοθεισ τη χαριτι του θεου υπο των αδελφων
40but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
41διηρχετο δε την συριαν και κιλικιαν επιστηριζων τασ εκκλησιασ
41And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
