¹And certain men came down from Judaea and taught the brethren, [saying], Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

¹Uni manush avilo andai Judea ande Antioch te phenen le phralenge, te na avena shinde sar o zakono le Mosesosko manglia, won nashtin avena skepime.

²And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and questioning with them, [the brethren] appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

²O Pavlo ai o Barnabas phenenas lenge te nas nai vorta, ai divininas pa kodia buchi, antunchi mangle o Pavlo ai o Barnabas ai aver manush te zhan ande Jerusalem, saxke te den duma pe kadia buchi le kolavre apostlonsa ai le mai phurensa.

³They therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

³E khangeri tradia le pala kodia diela, nakhle andai Phoenicia ai andai Samaria, ai mothonas sar kodola kai Nas Zhiduvuria, dinesaspe ka Del, ai kana ashunde le kolaver phral kodia diela raduisaile sas.

⁴And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed all things that God had done with them.

⁴Kana aresle ande Jerusalem, e khangeri akhardia le peste, ai le apostluria ai le mai phure, ai phende lenge so godi O Del kerdia sas lensa.

⁵But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.

⁵Numa uni andal Farizeanuria kai vi won dine sas pe ka Del, wushtilo opre ai phende, trobul te shinen kodolen kai Nas Zhiduvuria ai kai dinepe ka Del, ai te lenpe pala zakono le Mosesosko.

⁶And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of this matter.

⁶Le apostluria le Devleske ai le mai phure chidepe andek than te len sama pa kodia diela.

⁷And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

⁷Kerdilia ek baro bunto, numa o Petri wushtilo opre, ai phendia lenge, "Murhe phral, zhanen ke de dumult O Del alosardia mashkar tumende, saxke anda murho mui le Nas Zhiduvuria trobul te ashunen E Vorba le Devleski, ai te pachanpe.

⁸And God, who knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did unto us;

⁸Ai O Del, kai zhanel le ile, sikadia lenge o chachimos kana dia vi len O Swunto Duxo sar amen;

⁹and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

⁹Le Devleske iek fialo sam, vi won ai vi ame, vi lengo ilo vuzhardia le pachamasa.

¹⁰Now therefore why make ye trial of God, that ye should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

¹⁰Akana sostar zumaven le Devles, te thon ek pharimos pe le disiplon, kai chi amare dada ai chi ame nashti rhevdisardiam.

¹¹But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.

¹¹Numa pala lashimos le Devlesko o Jesus Kristo avasa skepime, sam sa sar lende.

¹²And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.

¹²Sa o narodo ande khangeri chi mai phendia kanch, ai ashunenas ka Pavlo ai ka Barnabas, sar mothonas pa le mirakluria ai le semnuria kai kerdia sas O Del lensa mashkar le Nas Zhiduvuria.

¹³And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:

¹³Kana aterdile te divinin, o Iakov phendia, "Murhe phral, ashunen mande."

¹⁴Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁴O Simon phendia sar O Del mai anglal dikhlia pe thema, ai te alol mashkar lende narodos kai ingeren la lesko anav.

¹⁵And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

¹⁵Ai kodola sa kerdion le vorbi kai le profeturia phende sas kai sas ramome,

¹⁶After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:

¹⁶ai pala kodia avava palpale, ai vazdava palpale o kher le Davidosko, kai sas perado; vazdava opre so sas tele, ai vortova.

¹⁷That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,

¹⁷Saxke, so ashelia andal manush te roden le Devles, ai sa le thema kai murho anav si luvudime, phenel O Del. Wo kerel sa kadala dieli.

¹⁸Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old.

¹⁸Mothol O Del kai dia te zhanen kadale buchi de anda gor la lumiake.

¹⁹Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;

¹⁹Amos 9:11-12. Anda kodia, me mangav te na keren bunto mashkar le manush kai chi zhanen le Devles ai kai denpe le Devleske.

²⁰but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.

²⁰Numa te ramon lenge, te arakhenpe te na xan mas bi vuzho kai sas dino ando anav le ikonengo, ai te arakhenpe katar le biznibraznia, ai te na xan mas zhigeniengo kai sas tasade, ai te na pen rat.

²¹For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.

²¹Ke demult le mai phure manush mothon o zakono le Mosesosko ande swako foro, ai jinen o zakono andel khangeria swako Savato.

²²Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; [namely], Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

²²Ai pelia drago le apostlonge ai le mai phurenge ai sa le khangeriake, te alon mashkar lende, ai te traden ande Antioch le Paulosa ai o Barnabas; o Judas kai akharenas les Barsabas, ai o Silas, manush kai jinenas pe leste le phral.

²³and they wrote [thus] by them, The apostles and the elders, brethren, unto the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:

²³Ai dine le lila kai mothol, "Le apostluria ai le mai phure ai tumare phral traden but bax, sastimos kal phral kai chi zhanen le Devles kai traiin ande Antioch, ande Syria, ai ande Cilicia.

²⁴Forasmuch as we have heard that certain who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment;

²⁴Ashundiam, ke uni manush kai gele tumende amendar, ai kai ame chi tradiam le, dziliarde tume, phenenas, trobul te aven shinde ai garaven o zakono; ame chi phendiam lenge te phenen kadala vorbi.

²⁵it seemed good unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

²⁵Anda kodia ame diam andek than, ai mangliam te alosaras lashe manush, ai te tradas le tumenge, kodolensa kai si amenge drago o Barnabas ai o Paul.

²⁶men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁶Kadala manush dine pengo traio pala anav amaro Devlesko Jesus Kristo.

²⁷We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall tell you the same things by word of mouth.

²⁷Ame tradiam tumenge o Judas ai o Silas, kai phenena tumenge te traiin sar ame ramosardiam.

²⁸For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:

²⁸Ke O Swunto Duxo, ai ame mangliam te na thas pe tumende mai but pharimos de ferdi so trobul tumen te keren.

²⁹that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.

²⁹Te na xan anda mas kai sas dino angla ikoni, ai rat zhigeniengo kai sas tasade, arakhen tume katar e biznibraznia, ai traiina mishto, te na kerena kadala dieli. Ashen Devlesa."

³⁰So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.

³⁰Kana won geletar kotsar katar kodia khangeri, gele ando Antioch; ai dine o lil ka narodo kai pachalaspe ando Del ando Antioch.

³¹And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation.

³¹Kana jinde o lil, le phral raduisaile ke anelas lenge lashimos ai zor.

³²And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

³²O Judas ai o Silas, kai vi won sas profeturia, sicharenas le, ai denas le zor kana divininas lensa.

³³And after they had spent some time [there], they were dismissed in peace from the brethren unto those that had sent them forth.

³³Pala xantsi vriama, mekle le phral te zhantar karing kodola kai trade sas le.

³⁴[But it seemed good unto Silas to abide there.]

³⁴Numa o Silas gindilas kai mai mishto te beshela.

³⁵But Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

³⁵Vi o Pavlo ai o Barnabas beshle ando Antioch, sicharenas ai mothonas e lashi Vorba le Devleski le kolavren phralensa.

³⁶And after some days Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city wherein we proclaimed the word of the Lord, [and see] how they fare.

³⁶Neskolki dies nakhle, porme o Pavlo phendia le Barnabasoske, "Aven, dikhas le phralen ande sa le foruria kai phendiam E Vorba le Devleski, te dikhas sar si kodala phral."

³⁷And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark.

³⁷O Barnabas manglia te ingerel pesa vi le Iovanos, kai akharenas le Mark.

³⁸But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

³⁸Numa o Pavlo miazolas leske kai nai mishto te len pesa kodoles kai mekliasas le andai Pamphilia, ai kai chi avilo te zhutil le ande penge buchi.

³⁹And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus;

³⁹Xolaile, ai meklepe o Pavlo, ai o Barnabas lia pesa le Markos ai line o paraxodo, ai gele andek izula kai bushol Cyprus;

⁴⁰but Paul choose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.

⁴⁰O Pavlo alosardia o Silas, lia les pesa, ai geletar, kai trade le le phral ando lashimos de Devlesko.

⁴¹And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.

⁴¹Ai gele ande Syria ai ande Cilicia, te den zor le khangeria.
