¹Ria ba hangkuja dua to Yahudi ngkai Yudea to mepangala' -mi hi Pue' Yesus, hilou hi ngata Antiokhia. To Yahudi toera mpotudui' topetuku' Yesus hi Antiokhia, ra'uli' -raka: "Ane uma-koi ratini' ntuku' ada to hi rala Atura Musa, bate uma-koi mpai' tebahaka ngkai huku' jeko' -ni!"

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

²Uma mowo pe'ewa-ra Paulus pai' Barnabas mpobaro tudui' -ra toe. Ka'omea-na, to Kristen to hi Antiokhia mpo'uli': "Agina tasuro ba hangkuja dua doo-ta hilou hi Yerusalem, mpobua' kara-kara toe hi suro Pue' Yesus pai' totu'a ntani' -na." To rasuro hilou toe, hira' Paulus, Barnabas, pai' ba hangkuja dua to ntani' -na.

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.

³Jadi', to Kristen to hi Antiokhia mpobawa-ra rata hi mali ngata. Ngkai ree, mako' -ramo hilou mpotoa' Yerusalem. Hi pomakoa' -ra tohe'e, mpotara tana' Fenisia pai' Samaria, pai' halengko ohea ratutura beiwa tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi medea ngkai jeko' -ra pai' mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus. Kareba tohe'e mpakagoe' nono-ra hawe'ea ompi' hampepangalaa'.

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.”

⁴Rata mpu'u-ramo hi Yerusalem, to Kristen hi ria hante suro Pue' Yesus pai' totu'a ntani' -na mpotarima lompe' -ra. Ngkai ree, Paulus pai' Barnabas mpotutura-raka hawe'ea to nababehi Alata'ala hi pomakoa' -ra wengi mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi.

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.

⁵Aga ria wo'o ba hangkuja dua to Parisi to mepangala' -mi hi Pue' Yesus. Pokore-rami to Parisi toera, ra'uli': "Tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi tetura, uma hono' ane mepangala' -ra hi Yesus-wadi. Kana ratini' wo'o-ra pai' rahubui mpotuku' Atura Musa."

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.”

⁶Toe pai' morumpu-ramo suro Pue' Yesus pai' totu'a ntani' -na, mpohurai kara-kara toe.

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

⁷Mahae lia-ra momewai' ngkalolita. Ngkai ree, Petrus mokore pai' na'uli': "Ompi' -ompi', ni'inca moto ba hangkuja mpae to liu, aku' napelihi Alata'ala ngkai laintongo' -ta, nahubui-a mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi tauna to bela kita' to Yahudi. Ra'epe mpu'u-mi Kareba Lompe', pai' mepangala' -ramo hi Yesus.

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.

⁸Pai' Alata'ala to mpotiroi nono manusia', mpotarima tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi toera. Ta'inca kanatarima-ra, apa' nawai' -ra Inoha' Tomoroli', hibalia hewa to nawai' -taka kita' toi-e.

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

⁹Kita' to Yahudi pai' hira' to bela-ra to Yahudi, uma napoposisala. Napakaroli' nono-ra apa' mepangala' -ramo hi Yesus.

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

¹⁰Jadi' ompi' -ompi', napa-di pai' doko' ta'ewa patuju-na Alata'ala-e? Napa pai' doko' tapopokoloi-raka tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi parenta pai' palia to motomo lia? Bangku' ntu'a-ta-hawoe, duu' rata hi kita' toi-e lau, uma takulei' mpotuku' hawe'ea parenta pai' palia tetu-e!

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?

¹¹Uma-ta tebahaka ngkai huku' jeko' -ta hi kampotuku' -ta parenta pai' palia hewa tetu. Taparasaya kamporata-ta kalompea' muntu' ngkai kabula rala-na Pue' Yesus-wadi. Wae wo'o-rawo hira'."

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

¹²Kahudu-na Petrus mololita, hawe'ea tauna to morumpu toera, mengkalino-ra-wadi mokanono. Oti toe, rape'epei wo'o-pi lolita-ra Barnabas pai' Paulus, mpololita tanda mekoncehi pai' anu mobaraka' to rababehi hante kuasa Alata'ala bula-ra mpokeni Kareba Lompe' hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi.

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.

¹³Hudu lolita-ra Barnabas pai' Paulus, na'uli' -mi Yakobus: "Ompi' -ompi', pe'epei-ka-kuwo lolita-ku.

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

¹⁴Ta'epe-mi we'i lolita-na Simon, mpo'uli' -taka beiwa lomo' -na Alata'ala mpopohiloi ahi' -na hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi, napelihi ngkai laintongo' -ra tauna to napajadi' ntodea-na.

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

¹⁵Toe hibalia hante lolita-ra nabi owi, apa' ria nabi owi to mpolowa kanakio' -ra Alata'ala tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi jadi' ntodea-na. Moni-na hewa toi:

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

¹⁷Na'uli' Pue' Ala: `Oti mpai' toe, nculii' moto-a tumai mpokinomo-ra muli to Yahudi to naparentai Daud owi. Kupoka'ahi' -ra pai' kuwangu nculii' kamagaua' -na Daud. Ngkai ree mpai', tau ntani' -na wo'o mpopali' -a. Hawe'ea tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi, to kukio' jadi' ntodea-ku, bate tumai-ra hi Aku'.'

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,

¹⁸Wae-mi ponguli' Pue' to mpakanoto patuju-na ngkai owi."

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

¹⁹Napokaliliu Yakobus lolita-na, na'uli': "Jadi' ompi' -ompi', toi-mi lolita-ku. Neo' -ta-hawo mpakasusa' -ra to bela-ra to Yahudi to mengkoru-mi hi Alata'ala. Neo' tapewuku-ra mpotuku' Atura Musa.

²⁰Sampale-wadi, agina ta'uki' sura, taperapi' bona neo' -ra mpokoni' pongkoni' to rapopepue' hi pinotau, neo' ngkoni' raa' pai' neo' ngkoni' bau' to uma ralali ncala' raa' -na. Pai' ta'uli' wo'o-raka bona neo' -ra mogau' sala' hante toronaa ba hante tobine doo.

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

²¹Taperapi' bona ratuku' hawa' -hawa' toe, bona hintuwu' -ra hante to Yahudi. Apa' ngkai owi, to Yahudi hiapa-apa mpobasa Buku Atura Musa butu Eo Sabat hi tomi posampayaa. Pai' hawa' -hawa' toe raparata-raka hi butu ngata po'ohaa' -ra."

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

²²Kahudu-na pololita Yakobus toe, suro-suro Pue' Yesus pai' totu'a ntani' -na hante hawe'ea topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus to morumpu toera mpokahibaliai kabotu' -ra, ra'uli': "Agina tapelihi ba hangkuja dua doo-ta, tasuro-ra hilou hi Antiokhia dohe Paulus pai' Barnabas, mpokeni kabotu' lolita-ta." Jadi', rapelihi mpu'u-mi rodua tauna. Hanga' -na to hadua, Silas. Pai' hanga' -na to hadua, Yudas, to rahanga' wo'o Barsabas. To rodua toera, tauna to rabila' hawe'ea ompi' hampepangalaa'.

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

²³Oti toe, suro Pue' Yesus mpo'uki' kabotu' lolita-ra hi rala sura, pai' ratonu hi Silas pai' Yudas bona rakeni hilou hi Antiokhia. Moni-na hewa toi: "Kai' suro Pue' Yesus pai' totu'a to Kristen to hi rehe'i to nipo'ompi' hi rala Pue' Yesus, mpopakatu sura toi hi ompi' -ompi' to bela-koi to Yahudi to hi ngata Antiokhia, hi tana' Siria pai' Kilikia. Wori' tabe!

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.”

²⁴"Ria ki'epe ba hangkuja dua-ra ngkai kai' hi rehe'i tilou mpaka'ingu' -koi pai' mpolengo pepangala' -ni hante tudui' -ra. Jadi', bona ni'inca: bela-kaiwo kai' to mposuro-ra.

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.

²⁷Toe pai' mohawa' -makai hi rehe'i hante hanono lau, mpopelihi rodua doo-kai to kihubui tilou. To kihubui tilou, ompi' -ta Yudas pai' Silas. Hira' to rodua toera-damo mpai' to mpo'uli' -kokoi hante wiwi-ra moto napa to ki'uki' hi rala sura toi. Yudas pai' Silas toe, kihubui tilou hidohea hante Barnabas pai' Paulus to kipoka'ahi'. Barnabas pai' Paulus tohe'ira, tauna to mpotonu-mi katuwu' -ra hi Pue' -ta, Yesus Kristus, bona mpopalele hanga' -na.

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;

²⁸"Ompi' -ompi', toi-mi kabotu' to kirata ntuku' konoa Inoha' Tomoroli', pai' to kipokono wo'o-kaiwo, kai' pangkeni-ni, bona neo' -koi rapakasusa' hante wori' nyala parenta. Uma-koi rapewuku mpotuku' Atura Musa. Toi-wadi to paraluu ki'uli' -kokoi:

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,

²⁹Kiperapi' bona neo' -koi mpokoni' pongkoni' to rapopepue' hi pinotau. Neo' ngkoni' raa', pai' neo' ngkoni' bau' to uma ralali ncala' raa' -na. Pai' neo' mogau' sala' hante toronaa ba hante tobine doo. Ane nipokalaa-damo katuwu' -ni ngkai hawe'ea toe, hono' -mi. Hudu rei-mi ulu lolita-kai."

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

³⁰Ka'oti-ra mositabe, me'ongko' mpu'u-ramo to rasuro toera hante Paulus pai' Barnabas hilou hi ngata Antiokhia. Karata-ra hi Antiokhia toe, rarumpu-ramo hawe'ea topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus pai' ratonu-miraka sura to rakeni ngkai Yerusalem.

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

³¹Karabasa-na hi ntodea sura toe, goe' -ramo omea, apa' ihi' -na mpotanta'u nono-ra.

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

³²Oti toe, Yudas pai' Silas mololita moloe wo'o-ra-rawo, mporohoi nono ompi' hampepangalaa' -ra pai' mparesai' -ra bona tida-ra mepangala' hi Pue', apa' hira' roduaa nabi to mpoparata Lolita Pue' Ala.

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.”

³³Ba hangkuja mengi-ramo tida hi Antiokhia, pai' oti toe rapope'ongko' -ramo nculii' hilou hi Yerusalem. Ra'uli' to Antiokhia toera, mpo'uli' -raka Silas pai' Yudas: "Pelompehi hi ohea. Parata-kaka-kaiwo tabe-kai hi suro Pue' Yesus to mpohubui-koi tumai." ((

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

³⁴Aga Silas-hana, na'uli': "Ko'ia-a ulu nculii' hilou hi Yerusalem. Hi rehe'i-a ulu hi Antiokhia."))

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

³⁵Ane Paulus pai' Barnabas, mahae hala' -ra-rana hi Antiokhia, mpotudui' tauna pai' mpoparata Lolita Pue', hante wori' tau ntani' -na.

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

³⁶Ngkai ree, na'uli' Paulus hi Barnabas: "Nculii' -tamo hilou mpencuai' ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -ta hi butu-butu ngata to tatara-mi wengi mpokeni Lolita Pue', bona tahilo kababeiwa-na pepangala' -ra."

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

³⁷Barnabas doko' ngkeni Yohanes Markus hi pomakoa' -ra toe,

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

³⁸tapi' Paulus mpo'uli': "Neo', apa' napalahii-ta wengi hi tana' Pamfilia, ko'ia hudu bago-ta."

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

³⁹Ngkai ree, momehono' -ramo Paulus pai' Barnabas, alaa-na mogaa' -ramo. Barnabas mpo'ala' Markus napodohe, pai' -ra mpohawi' kapal hilou hi tana' Siprus.

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.”

⁴⁰Paulus mpelihi Silas napo'ema', pai' -ra me'ongko' -rawo. Pai' ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -ra hi ngata Antiokhia mpope'ongko' -ra hante mosampaya, bona Alata'ala mpewili' -ra hante kabula rala-na hi pomakoa' -ra.

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

⁴¹Paulus pai' Silas mpodaoi' tana' Siria pai' Kilikia, mporohoi nono-ra topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus to hi ria.

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.

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

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

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