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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
6Te dongah hekah olka kawng ming hamla caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek tah tingtun uh.
6So the apostles and elders met to look into this matter.
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.
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.
8Mamih taengkah bangla amih taengah khaw lungming Pathen loh a phong pah tih Mueihla Cim a paek coeng.
8And God, who knows the heart, showed His approval by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as He did to us.
9Te dongah mamih neh amih laklo ah a boelhkhoeh moenih. Amih kah thinko he tangnah neh a ciim coeng.
9He made no distinction between us and them, for He cleansed their hearts by faith.
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.
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?
11Khang la om ham he Boeipa Jesuh kah lungvatnah lamloh n'tangnah vanbangla amih long khaw a longim bangla om van,” a ti nah.
11On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”
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.
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.
13Amih rhoi te kam a khuem vaengah James loh a doo tih, “Ka manuca rhoek, ka hlang rhoek kai ol hnatun uh lah.
13When they had finished speaking, James declared, “Brothers, listen to me!
14A ming ham tah namtom pilnam khuikah khaw loh hamla Pathen loh a hip lamhma te Simeon loh a thui coeng.
14Simon has told us how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people to be His own.
15A daek bangla tonghma rhoek kah ol nen khaw tekah te tluep coeng.
15The words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:
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.
16‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,
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.
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
18'Boeipa loh a saii he khosuen lamkah ni a hmat coeng,’ a ti.
18that have been known for ages.’
19Te dongah Pathen taengla aka bal namtom rhoek te toeh pawt ham ni kai tah ka cai.
19It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not cause trouble for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
20Tedae mueirhol kah a tihnai, Cukhalnah, rhawnkhak sa neh thii te rhael ham amih taengah ca ka pat.
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.
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..
21For Moses has been proclaimed in every city from ancient times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
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.
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,
23Amamih kut neh, “Caeltueih rhoek, patong rhoek neh manuca rhoek loh Antiok, Syria neh Kilikia tom kah manuca namtom rhoek te ka uem uh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
25So we all agreed to choose men to send to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26Amih tah Jesuh Khrih, mamih kah Boeipa ming ham a hinglu aka voei hlang rhoek ni.
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27Te dongah Judas neh Silas te ka tueih uh. Ahmih rhoi khaw amah hmuen la olka neh ha puen rhoi.
27Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to tell you in person the same things we are writing.
28Te te kuek mai cakhaw thinrhih neh nangmih muep nan pawt ham, kaimih ham khaw Mueihla Cim neh ka poek uh.
28It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond these essential requirements:
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.
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.
30Te dongah amih tah phih uh tih Antiok la suntla uh. Te phoeiah rhaengpuei te a coi tih capat te a paek uh.
30So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they assembled the congregation and delivered the letter.
31Thaphohnah te a tae uh vaengah omngaih uh.
31When the people read it, they rejoiced at its encouraging message.
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.
32Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.
33A tue a hnonah rhoi phoeiah ngaimong la phih uh tih manuca rhoek te amih aka tueih rhoek taengla bal uh.
33After spending some time there, they were sent off by the brothers in peace to return to those who had sent them.
34Tedae Paul neh Barnabas tah Antiok ah om rhoi pueng dongah,
no verse 34 in this text
35hlangtloe taengah khaw Boeipa kah olka te muep a thuituen tih a phong rhoi.
35But Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, along with many others, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord.
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.
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.”
37Te vaengah Marku la a khue Johan te khaw Barnabas loh khuen la cai.
37Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark.
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.
38But Paul thought it best not to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work.
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.
39Their disagreement was so sharp that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus,
40Paul long khaw manuca rhoek loh Boeipa kah lungvatnah dongah a tloeng tangtae Silas te a khue tih cet van.
40but Paul chose Silas and left, commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
41Te phoeiah Syria neh Kilikia te a hil tih hlangboel rhoek te a thoh.
41And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
