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

¹Eta Iudeatic iautsi içan ciraden batzuc, iracasten cituztén anayeac, cioitela, Baldin circoncidi ezpaçaiteztez Moysesen maneraren araura, ecin salua çaitezquete.

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.

²Eta gudu eta disputa handi Pauli eta Barnabasi helduric hayén contra, ordena ceçaten igan litecen Paul eta Barnabas eta cembeit berceric Apostoluetara eta Ancianoetara Ierusalemera questione hunegatic.

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.”

³Hec bada igorriric Eliçáz, iragan citzaten Pheniça eta Samaria, Gentilén conuersionea contatzen çutela: eta eman ciecén bozcario handi anaye guciey.

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.

⁴Guero Ierusalemera arriuaturic, recebitu içan ciraden Eliçáz eta Apostoluéz eta Ancianoéz, eta conta citzaten Iaincoac heçaz eguin vkan cituen gauça guciac.

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.”

⁵Baina (cioiten) altchatu içan dirade Phariseuén sectaco sinhetsi çuten batzu, cioitela, ecen circonciditu behar çutela, eta manatu Moysesen Leguearen beguiratzera.

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

⁶Orduan bil citecen Apostoluac eta Ancianoac eguiteco hunez consideratzera.

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.

⁷Eta disputa handiren ondoan, Pierrisec iaiquiric erran ciecén, Guiçon anayeác, çuec badaquiçue ecen haraitzinadanic Iaincoac gure artean elegitu vkan nauela, ene ahoz ençun leçaten Gentiléc Euangelioco hitza, eta sinhets leçaten.

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

⁸Eta Iaincoac eçagutzen baititu bihotzac, testificatu draue, hæy Spiritu saindua emanez guriere beçala.

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

⁹Eta eztu differentiaric batre eguin gure eta hayén artean, fedez purificaturic hayén bihotzac

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?

¹⁰Orain bada cergatic tentatzen duçue Iaincoa, discipuluén leppo gainean vztarriaren eçartera, cein ez gure aitéc ez guc ecin ekarri vkan baitugu?

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

¹¹Baina Iesus Christ Iaunaren gratiaz sinheften dugu saluaturen garela, hec-ere beçala.

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.

¹²Orduan ichil cedin compainia gucia, eta beha çaizten Barnabasi eta Pauli, ceinéc contatzen baitzuten cer signo eta miraculu eguin çuen Iaincoac heçaz Gentilén artean.

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

¹³Eta ichildu ciradenean, ihardets ceçan Iacquesec, cioela, Guiçon anayeác, ençun neçaçue ni,

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

¹⁴Simonec declaratu vkan du nola lehenic Iaincoac visitatu dituen Gentilac hetaric populubat bere iceneco har leçançat.

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

¹⁵Eta hunequin accordatzen dirade Prophetén hitzac: scribatua den beçala.

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,

¹⁶Guero itzuliren naiz, eta berriz edificaturen dut Dauid-en tabernacle eroria, eta haren ruinác berriz edificaturen ditut, eta berriz altchaturen dut hura.

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

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

¹⁹Harren nic dut estimatzen eztituela nehorc faschatzeco Gentiletaric Iaincoagana conuertitzen diradenac:

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

²⁰Baina scribatzeco çayela beguira ditecen idolén satsutassunetaric, eta paillardiçataric, eta gauça ithotic, eta odoletic.

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

²¹Ecen Moysesec haraitzinadanic baditu hirietaric batbederatan hura predicatzen dutenac, synagoguetan Sabbath guciaz iracurtzen denaz gueroz.

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.”

²²Orduan nahi vkan dute Apostoluéc eta Ancianoéc Eliça guciarequin, beren artetic guiçon elegituac igor litecen Antiochera Paulequin eta Barnabasequin, hala nola, Iuda icen goiticoz Barsabas deitzen cena, eta Silas, guiçon principalac anayén artean.

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.

²³Hayén escuz scribatzen çutela seguitzen dena, Apostoluéc eta Ancianoéc eta anayéc Antiochen eta Syrian eta Cilician Gentiletaric diraden anayey, salutatione.

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;

²⁴Ceren aditu baitugu ecen gutaric ilki diraden batzuc, cembeit proposez trublatu vkan çaituztela, çuen arimác erauciz eta circoncidi çaitezten eta Leguea beguira deçaçuen manatuz, ceiney ezpaiquendrauen carguric eman:

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,

²⁵Gure irudia içan da consentimendu batez bildu garenona, elegitu ditugun guiçonén çuetara igortera, Barnabas eta Paul gure maitequin,

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

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

²⁷Igorri ditugu bada Iuda eta Silas, hec-ere gauça berac ahoz contaturen drauzquiçue.

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

²⁸Ecen on iruditu çayó Spiritu sainduari eta guri, ez eçartera carga handiagoric batre çuen gainera gauça necessario hauc baicen:

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.”

²⁹Baitirade, Beguira çaitezten idoley sacrificatu diraden gaucetaric, eta odoletic, eta ithotic, eta paillardiçataric, baldin gauça hautaric çuen buruäc beguira baditzaçue, vngui eguinen duçue. Vngui duçuela.

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

³⁰Hec bada congit harturic ethor citecen Antiochera: eta compainiá bilduric eman citzaten letrác.

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

³¹Eta iracurri cituztenean consolationearen gainean aleguera citecen.

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

³²Halaber Iudac eta Silasec, nola hec-ere Propheta baitziraden, anhitz hitzez exhorta citzaten anayeac eta confirma.

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

³³Eta han cerbait dembora eguin çutenean, igorri ican ciraden anayéz baquerequin Apostoluetarát,

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

³⁴Guciagatic-ere Silasi on irudi cequion han egoitera.

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

³⁵Eta Paul eta Barnabas-ere egon citecen Antiochen, iracasten eta euangelizatzen çutela anhitz bercerequin-ere, Iaunaren hitza.

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.”

³⁶Eta cembeit egunen buruän erran cieçón Paulec Barnabasi, Itzuliric visita ditzagun gure anayeac Iaunaren hitza denuntiatu dugun hiri gucietan, eya nola dauden.

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

³⁷Eta Barnabasec conseillatzen çuen berequin har leçaten Ioannes, Marc deitzen cena:

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.

³⁸Baina Pauli etzayón bidezco iruditzen hetaric ia Pamphiliatic bereci cena, eta obra hartara lagundu etzituena berequin har leçaten

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

³⁹Hala iharduqui ceçaten bada, non bata berceaganic separa baitzitecen: eta Barnabas Marc harturic embarca baitzedin Cyprerat.

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

⁴⁰Baina Paul Silas elegituric parti cedin, anayéz Iaincoaren gratiari gommendaturic.

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