¹YA manmato palo taotao sija guinin Judea, ya jafanagüe y mañelo ilegñija: Yaguin ti manmasirconsida jamyo taemano y costumbren Moises, ti siña jamyo mansatbo.

¹Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

²Ya anae megae na inaguaguat yan finaesen as Pablo yan Barnabé yan sija, y maneio jaayeg si Pablo yan si Barnabé, yan palo guiya sija, para ujafanjanao julo Jerusalem guiya apostoles yan manamco pot este na finaesen.

²Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

³Enao mina anae manmaesgaejon ni y iglesia gui jinanaoñija, manmalofan y inanaco Finesia, yan Samaria, ya masasangan claro y manmañotsot y Gentiles; ya ninafangosmagof y mañelo todos.

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. The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”

⁴Ya anae manmato Jerusalem, manmaresibe gui iglesia yan y apostoles, yan y manamco; ya jadeclara todo y finatinas Yuus pot sija.

⁴When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.

⁵Lao mangajulo güije palo sija y inetnon Fariseo ni y manmanjonggue, ya ilegnija: Nesesita ufanmasirconsida sija, yan ufanmatago ya ujaadaje y tinago Moises.

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.”

⁶Ya mandaña y apostoles yan y manamco para ujajasuye este.

⁶The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.

⁷Ya anae esta megae na finaesen, cumajulo si Pedro ya ilegña nu sija: Mañelo lalaje, intingoja jafa na manayeg si Yuus guiya jamyo, apmam na tiempo, na y Gentiles ujajungog y sinangan y ibangelio pot y pachotjo, ya ujajonggue.

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.

⁸Yan si Yuus, ni y tumungo y corason, janafantestigo sija, yan janae ni y Espiritu Santo, jaftaemanoja y jafatinas guiya jita;

⁸God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.

⁹Ya taya japolo dinesparejo entre sija yan jita, janafangasgas y corasonñija ni y jinenggue.

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

¹⁰Ya jafa pago mina intietienta si Yuus, para inpelo y yugo gui agaga y disipulo sija, na ni y mañaenata ni jita tisiña jacatga?

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?

¹¹Lao tajonggue na pot y grasian y Señot Jesus utafansatbo, taegüije iya sija.

¹¹But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, TR adds “Christ” just as they are.”

¹²¶ Ayonae manmamatquilo todo y linajyan taotao, ya maatituye si Pablo yan Barnabé ni y jasasangan y señot sija yan y mannamanman jafatinas si Yuus gui entalo Gentiles pot sija.

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.

¹³Ya anae manmamatquilo, manope si Santiago ilegña: Mañelo lalaje, ecungogyo.

¹³After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.

¹⁴Jasangan si Simeon jaftaemano si Yuus ni y jabisita finena y Gentiles, para ufangone guiya sija taotao para y naanña.

¹⁴Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people for his name.

¹⁵Yan pot este na manparejo y sinangan y profeta sija, ni y esta manmatugue:

¹⁵This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,

¹⁶Anae esta munjayan estesija, jutalo mague, ya jujatsa y tabernaculon David, ni y podong; yan jujatsa talo y manmayulang güije, yan juplanta julo;

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,

¹⁷Para y manetenjan na taotao, ujaaligao yi Señot, yan todo y Gentiles ni y umafanaan y naanjo.

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. Amos 9:11-12

¹⁸Ilegña y Señot ni y janamatungo estesija desde y tutujon y tano.

¹⁹Enaomina y jinasoco taegüine, na mungajit umatborota ayo sija y manguinin y entalo y Gentiles, ya jabira sija para as Yuus.

¹⁹“Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,

²⁰Lao utatuguie sija, ya ujafañuja gui pinetlilon y idolos, yan y inábale, yan y neñicot na gâgâ, yan y jâgâ.

²⁰but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.

²¹Sa si Moises gui manmalofan na generasion, guaja gui cada siuda para ufanpredica güe ya utaetae layña gui sinagoga cada sabado na jaane.

²¹For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

²²Ayonae yañija y apostoles yan y manamco yan todo y iglesia, na umanafanjanao y manmaayeg na taotao gui inetnonñija para Antioquia para ufañija yan si Pablo yan Barnabé; y naanñija, si Judas y apiyiduña Barsabas, yan si Silas, manmagas na taotao sija gui entre y mañelo:

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. The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.”

²³Ya manmangue carta pot sija, taegüine: Y apostoles yan manamco na mañelo, jasaluda y mañelo na Gentiles ni y mangaegue guiya Antioquia yan Siria yan Silisia:

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.

²⁴Sa injingog na palo ni y manjanao guinin iya jame, maninatborota jamyo ni y sinangan, janataelaye y antenmiyo; lao ti manmannae jam ni enao na tinago:

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;

²⁵Jinasonmame na mandañajam unoja, para innafanjanao y manmaayeg na taotao para jamyo, yan y güinaeyanmame as Pablo yan Barnabé,

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,

²⁶Taotao sija na janapeligro y jaanenñija pot y naan y Señot Jesucristo.

²⁶men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁷Enaomina innajanao si Judas yan Silas, ni y infansinangane locue ni y pachotñija taegüineja.

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

²⁸Sa y jinason y Espiritu Santo, yan jame, na munga mapolo gui jilomiyo mas dangculo na catga qui y manesesita.

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

²⁹Na infañuja gui nengcano ni y manmaofrese y idolos, yan y jâgâ, yan y neñicot na gâgâ, yan y inábale; ya yaguin inadaje jamyo estesija, infatinas mauleg. Adios jamyo todos.

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.”

³⁰¶ Ya anae manajanao, manmato Antioquia: ya janafandaña y linajyan taotao, maentrega y catta;

³⁰So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

³¹Ni y anae munjayan mataetae, ninafansenmagof, pot y consuelo.

³¹When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.

³²Ya si Judas yan Silas manprofeta locue, ya japagat y mañelo ni y megae na sinangan, yan janafitme sija.

³²Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.

³³Ya mañaga güije didide na tiempo, despues manafanjanao en pas ni y mañelo, para y manmatago sija.

³³After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to the apostles.

³⁴Lao si Silas ninamagof na ufañasagaja güije.

³⁴ Some manuscripts add: But it seemed good to Silas to stay there.

³⁵Si Pablo yan si Barnabé mañasaga gui Antioquia, na mamananagüe, yan manpredidica ni y sinangan y Señot; yan megae palo locue.

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

³⁶¶ Ya anae malofan palo jaane, ilegña si Pablo as Barnabé: Nije tajanao talo ya tabisita ya mañeluta gui cada siuda anae y guinin tapredica y sinangan y Señot, ya utalie jafa chechoñija.

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.”

³⁷Ya si Barnabé malago na ujacone gachongñija si Juan, ni y apiyiduña Marcos.

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

³⁸Lao y jinasoña si Pablo, na ti mauleg na ufañija, sa sumuja guiya sija desde Pamfilia, ya ti mandinalalag sija gui checho.

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.

³⁹Ya jumuyong dangculon minaguaguat, ya manadisapatta; ya si Barnabé jacone si Marcos, ya mangama gui batco para Chipre;

³⁹Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,

⁴⁰Ya si Pablo jayeg si Silas ya mapos, manmaencatga ni y mañelo ni y grasian Yuus.

⁴⁰but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

⁴¹Ya jumanao todo inanco Siria yan Silisia, janafanfitme y inetnon mangilisyano sija.

⁴¹He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
