¹And certain persons, having come down from Judaea, taught the brethren, If ye shall not have been circumcised according to 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.

²A commotion therefore having taken place, and no small discussion on the part of Paul and Barnabas against them, they arranged that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others from amongst them, should go up to Jerusalem to 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, having been set on their way by the assembly, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of [those of] the nations. And they caused great joy to 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 being arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, and related all that God had wrought 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.

⁵And some of those who were of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, rose up from among [them], saying that they ought to circumcise them and enjoin 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 see about this matter.

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

⁷And much discussion having taken place, Peter, standing up, said to them, Brethren, *ye* know that from the earliest days God amongst you chose that the nations by my mouth should hear the word of the glad tidings 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 the heart-knowing God bore them witness, giving [them] the Holy Spirit as to us also,

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

⁹and put no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.

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

¹⁰Now therefore why tempt ye God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been 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 by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they also.

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

¹²And all the multitude kept silence and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the nations by 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, listen to me:

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

¹⁴Simon has related how God first visited to take out of [the] nations 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 with 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 will rebuild the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and will rebuild its ruins, and 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.

¹⁷so that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations on whom my name is invoked, saith [the] Lord, who does these things

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.

¹⁸known from eternity.

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

¹⁹Wherefore *I* judge, not to trouble those who from the nations 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 to write to them to abstain from 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, has in every city those who 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 to the elders, with the whole assembly, to send chosen men from among them with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch, Judas called Barsabas and Silas, leading 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.

²³having by their hand written [thus]: The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from among [the] nations at Antioch, and [in] 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.

²⁴Inasmuch as we have heard that some who went out from amongst us have troubled you by words, upsetting your souls, [saying that ye must be circumcised and keep the law]; 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 to us, having arrived at a common judgment, to send chosen men to 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 who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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

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

²⁸For it has 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.

²⁹to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication; keeping yourselves from which ye will do well. Farewell.

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."

³⁰They therefore, being let go, came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude delivered to [them] 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 having read it, they rejoiced at 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 much discourse, and strengthened them.

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

³³And having passed some time [there], they were let go in peace from the brethren to those who sent them.

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

³⁵And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and announcing the glad tidings, with many others also, of the word of the Lord.

³⁴Numa o Silas gindilas kai mai mishto te beshela.

³⁶But after certain days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city where we have announced the word of the Lord, [and see] how they are getting on.

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

³⁷And Barnabas proposed to take with [them] John also, called Mark;

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."

³⁸but Paul thought it not well to take with them him who had abandoned them, [going back] from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.

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

³⁹There arose therefore very warm feeling, so that they separated from one another; and Barnabas taking Mark sailed away to Cyprus;

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.

⁴⁰but Paul having chosen Silas went forth, committed by the brethren to the grace of God.

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

⁴¹And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.

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

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