Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
1Oasr kutu mwet tuku liki acn Judea nu Antioch, ac mutawauk in luti mwet lulalfongi uh ac fahk, “Kowos fin tia kosrkosrla oana ke fwackyak in Ma Sap lal Moses, kowos tia ku in moliyukla.”
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.
2Paul ac Barnabas akukuin na upa nu selos kac, ouinge wotla mu Paul, Barnabas ac kutu mwet in Antioch in som nu Jerusalem ac osun yurin mwet sap ac mwet kol lun church we ke sripa se inge.
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.
3Mwet in church supwalosla, ac ke elos fahsr sasla Phoenicia ac Samaria elos srumun lah mwet pegan elos forla nu sin God. Pweng se inge arulana akenganye mwet lulalfongi nukewa.
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.
4Ke elos sun acn Jerusalem, mwet in church we ac mwet sap ac mwet kol lun church elos paingulos, na elos fahkak ma nukewa God El tuh kasrelos in oru.
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.”
5Tusruktu kutu mwet lulalfongi ma wi u lun mwet Pharisee elos tuyak ac fahk, “Mwet pegan elos enenu na in kosrkosrla, ac kowos in lotelos tuh elos in akos Ma Sap lal Moses.”
6The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
6Mwet sap ac mwet kol uh elos tukeni nu sie in nunku ke ma se inge.
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.
7Tukun elos sramsram kac ke pacl na loes, Peter el tuyak ac fahk, “Mwet lili luk, kowos etu na lah God El tuh suleyula inmasrlowos ke pacl na loes somla, tuh nga in fahkak ke Pweng Wo nu sin mwet pegan, tuh elos in ku in lohng ac lulalfongi.
8God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
8Ac God, su etu nunak lun mwet nukewa, El akkalemye lah oasr insewowo lal yurin mwet pegan ke El sang Ngun Mutal nu selos, oana ke El tuh ase nu sesr.
9He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
9El tia oru mu oasr ekla inmasrlolos ac kut, a ke sripen elos lulalfongi, El aknasnasyalos liki ma koluk lalos.
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?
10Na inge, efu ku kowos ke srike God ke kowos filiya sie ma toasr nu fin mwet lulalfongi uh, su mwet matu lasr ac kut sifacna tia ku in us?
11But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
11Mo! Kut lulalfongi ac moliyukla ke sripen kulang lun Leum Jesus, oapana elos.”
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.
12U nufon sac mislana ke Barnabas ac Paul srumun ma usrnguk nukewa ac mwenmen ma God El oru kacltal inmasrlon mwet pegan.
13After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
13Ke eltal kaskas tari, na James el kasla ac fahk, “Mwet lili luk, kowos porongeyu!
14Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
14Simon el tufahna aketeya nu sesr luman nunak lun God nu sin mwet pegan uh, ke El eisla kutu selos tuh elos in mwet lal.
15This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
15Kas lun mwet palu arulana akkeye nunak se inge. Oana ke Ma Simusla uh fahk,
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
16‘Leum God El fahk, Tukun ma inge nga ac fah sifil foloko, Ac sifil tulokunak Tokosrai lal David. Nga fah sifil musaela acn ma musalla kac ah, Ac oru tuh in ku oana meet ah.
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.’
17Ouinge mwet lula nukewa fah tuku nu yuruk, Ac mwet pegan nukewa su nga pangnolos tuh elos in mwet luk.
18“All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.
18Pa inge ma Leum El fahk, su akkalemye ma inge in pacl loeloes somla.’”
19Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
19Na James el sifilpa fahk, “Nunak luk uh pa kut in tia filiya ma toasr nu fin mwet pegan su forla nu sin God.
20but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
20A kut in simusla sie leta nu selos, ac fahk mu elos in tia kang kutena mwe mongo ma tia nasnas ke sripen kisakinyuk nu ke ma sruloala, oayapa elos in tia kang kutena kosro ma loksakla, ku kutepacna ma oasr srah kac. Ac elos in liyalosyang liki ouiya fohkfok lun orek kosro.
21For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
21Tuh ke pacl na loeloes, Ma Sap lal Moses uh ritiyuk in iwen lolngok uh ke len Sabbath nukewa, ac kas lal uh lutiyuk in siti nukewa.”
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.
22Na mwet sap ac mwet kol uh, wi pac mwet nukewa in church, elos insesela in sulela kutu sin mwet inmasrlolos, ac supwalosla nu Antioch welul Paul ac Barnabas. Elos sulela mwet luo ma yohk akilenya sin mwet lulalfongi uh: elos pa Judas su pangpang Barsabbas, ac Silas.
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.
23Elos sang leta se inge eltal in us: “Kut, mwet wiowos — mwet sap ac mwet kol in acn se inge — kut lungse paing kowos nukewa su mwet wiasr ma isusla mwet pegan, su muta in siti Antioch, oayapa acn Syria ac Cilicia.
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;
24Kut lohng tari lah oasr kutu mwet yenu fahsrot akfohsyekowosyak ke kas lalos. Tusruktu tia kut pa supwalos uh.
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,
25Ke ma inge kut nukewa aetuila ac insese in sulela kutu mwet in utuk kas lasr nu suwos. Elos ac wi mwet kawuk saok lasr, Barnabas ac Paul,
26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
26su tuh pilesrala moul lalos in kulansupu Leum Jesus Christ.
27We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
27Kut supwaot nu suwos mwet inge, Judas ac Silas, su ac fah sifacna fahk nu suwos ma kut simis inge.
28For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
28Kut, ac Ngun Mutal, tukeni insesela in tia filiya kutena ma toasr fowos sayen Ma Sap ma eneneyuk inge:
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.”
29Kowos in tia kang kutena mongo ma kisala nu sin ma sruloala, tia mongo srah, tia kang kutena ma loksakla, ac karinginkowosyang liki fohkfok lun orek kosro. Ac fah wo nu suwos kowos fin liyaung ma inge. Lung lulap lasr nu suwos.”
30So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
30Mwet utuk kas inge supweyukla, ac elos som nu Antioch, ac elos solani mwet lulalfongi nukewa ac sang leta sac nu selos.
31When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
31Ke mwet uh riti leta sac, elos arulana engan ke kas in akku ma simla in leta sac.
32Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
32Judas ac Silas, su oaoa in mwet palu, eltal sramsram paht na yurin mwet lulalfongi, ac akpulaikyalos ac akkeyalos.
33After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
33Tukun eltal muta yorolos ke kutu pacl, na mwet lulalfongi elos supwalosla in misla, ac elos folokla nu yurin mwet ma supwalosme ah. [
no verse 34 in this text
34Tusruktu Silas el sulela elan muta we.]
35But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
35Paul ac Barnabas eltal muta Antioch ke kutu pacl, ac eltal wi mwet puspis in acn we luti ac fahkak kas lun Leum.
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.”
36Kutu pacl tok, Paul el fahk nu sel Barnabas, “Kut folokla ac liye mwet lulalfongi wiasr in siti nukewa ma kut fahkak kas lun Leum we, ac liye lah elos fuka in pacl inge.”
37Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
37Barnabas el lungse usal John Mark welultal,
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.
38tuh Paul el tiana nunku mu ac wo elan wi, mweyen el tuh tia welultal aksafyela fahsr se meet laltal ah, a el forla ac folokla Pamphylia lac.
39Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
39Oasr sie akukuin na upa inmasrloltal, na eltal fahsrelik. Barnabas el eisal Mark, ac kal som nu Cyprus,
40but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
40a Paul el sulella Silas ac som. Ac mwet lulalfongi elos eisaltalang tuh kulang lun Leum in karinganulos.
41He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
41Paul el fahsr sasla acn Syria ac Cilicia, ac akkeye mwet in church we.
