¹Now the apostles and the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

¹Ut que'rabi resil eb li apóstol ut eb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Judea nak eb li mâcua'eb aj judío yôqueb ajcui' chixpâbanquil li râtin li Dios.

²When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

²Nak cô Jerusalén laj Pedro, quicuech'îc xbaneb laj pâbanel aj judío li neque'bânun re li circuncisión.

³saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”

³Que'xye re: -¿C'a'ut nak xacuula'aniheb li mâcua'eb aj judío? Ut, ¿c'a'ut nak xatcua'ac rochbeneb? chanqueb.

⁴But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

⁴Tojo'nak laj Pedro qui-oc chixyebal reheb chixjunil li c'a'ru quic'ulman ut quixye reheb:

⁵“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

⁵-Yôquin chi tijoc aran Jope nak quicuil jun li visión. Sa' li visión quicuil nak yô chak chi cubec jun nimla t'icr sa' choxa. Pixbil sa' xcâ pac'alil lix xuc li t'icr. Quichal bar cuanquin cui'.

⁶When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

⁶Quicuil chi sa' li t'icr ut aran cuanqueb nabal pây ru li xul xcomoneb li neque'cuan sa' ruchich'och'. Cuanqueb li josk' aj xul, cuanqueb xcomoneb li c'anti' ut cuanqueb xcomoneb li xul li neque'rupupic chiru choxa.

⁷I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

⁷Ut quicuabi jun xyâb cux quixye cue, "At Pedro, chap âcue li xul a'in. Tâcamsi ut tâtiu," chan.

⁸But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

⁸Ut lâin quinye re, "Inc'a' Kâcua'. Mâ jun sut xintzaca c'a'ak re ru li naxye sa' li chak'rab nak inc'a' us tintzaca," chanquin.

⁹But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

⁹Ut quixye cui'chic cue li yô chak chi âtinac sa' choxa, "Lâat inc'a' naru nacac'oxla nak inc'a' us tâtzaca li c'a'ru xye li Dios nak us tâtzaca," chan.

¹⁰This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹⁰Oxib sut quiyehe' cue chi jo'can ut chirix a'an quic'ame' cui'chic sa' choxa li nimla t'icr a'an.

¹¹Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹¹Ut sa' ajcui' li hônal a'an que'cuulac sa' li cab cuanquin cui' oxib li cuînk que'chal chak toj Cesarea chinsic'bal.

¹²The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

¹²Ut li Santil Musik'ej quixye cue nak tinxic chirixeb chi mâc'a' inc'a'ux. Ut que'côeb ajcui' chicuix cuakib li hermân. Ut co-oc sa' rochoch jun li cuînk.

¹³He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,

¹³Li cuînk a'an quixserak'i ke chanru nak quixc'utbesi rib jun li ángel chiru sa' li rochoch. Li ángel quixye re, "Takla xbokbal aran Jope laj Simón li nayehe' ajcui' aj Pedro re.

¹⁴who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

¹⁴A'an tâyehok âcue chanru târûk tatcolek' jo'queb ajcui' li cuanqueb sa' lâ cuochoch, chan cue li ángel," chan li cuînk.

¹⁵As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

¹⁵Ut nak quin-oc chi âtinac riq'uineb, li Santil Musik'ej quichal sa' xbêneb jo' nak quichal sa' kabên lâo junxil.

¹⁶I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

¹⁶Ut quinak sa' inch'ôl li c'a'ru quixye li Kâcua', "Laj Juan relic chi yâl quicubsin ha' riq'uin ha', abanan lâex têc'ul li Santil Musik'ej."

¹⁷If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”

¹⁷Jo'can ut nak cui li Dios quixq'ue li Santil Musik'ej reheb a'an jo' nak quixq'ue ke lâo li xopâban re li Jesucristo, ¿anihin ta bi' lâin nak tinram chiru li Dios li c'a'ru târaj xbânunquil? chan laj Pedro.

¹⁸When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

¹⁸Nak que'rabi li c'a'ru quixye laj Pedro, eb laj c'amol be sa' xyânkeb laj pâbanel aj judío, que'xcanab cuech'înc. Que'xlok'oni li Dios ut que'xye: -Li Kâcua' xq'ue ajcui' li junelic yu'am reheb li mâcua'eb aj judío xban nak xe'xyot' xch'ôl ut xe'xjal xc'a'ux, chanqueb.

¹⁹They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

¹⁹Chirix lix camic laj Esteban, que'xjeq'ui ribeb laj pâbanel xban li raylal li yôqueb chixc'ulbal. Que'cuulac toj Fenicia, Chipre ut Antioquía. Aran que'xch'olob resil li evangelio chiruheb laj judío. Inc'a' que'xye reheb li mâcua'eb aj judío.

²⁰But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, A Hellenist is someone who keeps Greek customs and culture. preaching the Lord Jesus.

²⁰Abanan cuanqueb aj pâbanel aj Chipre ut aj Cirene que'cuulac Antioquía. Eb a'an que'xch'olob xyâlal chiruheb li neque'âtinac sa' griego ut que'xye resil li colba-ib sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo.

²¹The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

²¹Li Kâcua' Jesús quixtenk'aheb riq'uin xnimal xcuanquil ut nabaleb que'xpâb li Kâcua' Jesús.

²²The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

²²Nak que'rabi resil eb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Jerusalén, que'xtakla laj Bernabé aran Antioquía.

²³who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

²³Nak quicuulac laj Bernabé quixq'ue retal nak li Dios yô chirosobtesinquileb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb aran. Quixq'ue xcacuilal xch'ôleb ut quixye ajcui' reheb nak che'xq'uehak xch'ôleb chixpâbanquil li Kâcua'.

²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

²⁴Laj Bernabé, a'an jun cuînk châbil ut cuan xpâbâl. Nujenak chi Santil Musik'ej. Ut chiru a'an nabaleb que'xpâb li Kâcua'.

²⁵Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

²⁵Chirix chic a'an laj Bernabé cô Tarso chixsic'bal laj Saulo. Nak quixtau quixc'am Antioquía.

²⁶When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

²⁶Ut que'cuan aran jun chihab tz'akal riq'uineb ut que'xc'ut lix yâlal chiruheb nabal. Ut aran Antioquía que'xtiquib xyebal "cristiano" reheb laj pâbanel.

²⁷Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

²⁷Sa' eb li cutan a'an cuanqueb profeta que'el Jerusalén ut que'côeb Antioquía.

²⁸One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

²⁸Cuan jun sa' xyânkeb a'an aj Agabo xc'aba'. Quixye nak tâcuânk jun nimla cue'ej sa' chixjunil li ruchich'och' xban nak jo'can quic'ute' chiru xban li Santil Musik'ej. Ut li cue'ej a'in quic'ulman sa' eb li cutan nak cuânk laj Claudio chok' acuabej.

²⁹As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

²⁹Ut eb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Antioquía que'xc'ûb ru nak te'xtenk'aheb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Judea. Que'xtenk'a a' yal chanru quixq'ue rib chiru li junjûnk.Ut jo'can que'xbânu. Que'xtakla lix tenk'al chirixeb laj Bernabé ut laj Saulo re nak te'xk'axtesi sa' ruk'eb li neque'c'amoc be sa' xyânkeb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Judea.

³⁰which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

³⁰Ut jo'can que'xbânu. Que'xtakla lix tenk'al chirixeb laj Bernabé ut laj Saulo re nak te'xk'axtesi sa' ruk'eb li neque'c'amoc be sa' xyânkeb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Judea.
