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

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.

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, 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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

⁶The 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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 are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, TR adds “Christ” just as they are.”

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

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.

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.

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

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

¹⁴Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them 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.

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

¹⁵Ai kodola sa kerdion le vorbi kai le profeturia phende sas kai sas ramome,

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,

¹⁶ai pala kodia avava palpale, ai vazdava palpale o kher le Davidosko, kai sas perado; vazdava opre so sas tele, ai vortova.

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

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.

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

¹⁹“Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who 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 that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, 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 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.”

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.

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.

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.

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;

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 come to one accord, to choose out men and send them 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 risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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

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

²⁸For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you 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.

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.”

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."

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

³⁰Kana won geletar kotsar katar kodia khangeri, gele ando Antioch; ai dine o lil ka narodo kai pachalaspe ando Del ando Antioch.

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

³¹Kana jinde o lil, le phral raduisaile ke anelas lenge lashimos ai zor.

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

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

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

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

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

³⁴Numa o Silas gindilas kai mai mishto te beshela.

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

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

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.”

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."

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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