Masiixiyiinta Aan Yuhuudda Ahayn Iyo Sharciga Muuse

15 Niman Yahuudiya ka yimid ayaa walaalihii wax baray iyagoo leh, Haddaan caadada Muuse laydinku gudin, badbaadi kari maysaan. Oo markii Bawlos iyo Barnabas wax aan yarayn kula murmeen oo ku su'aaleen iyaga, ayaa walaalihii waxay doorteen Bawlos iyo Barnabas iyo kuwo kale oo iyaga ka mid ah inay Yeruusaalem aadaan oo ay u tagaan rasuulladii iyo waayeelladii inay su'aashan kala hadlaan. Sidaas daraaddeed iyagoo kiniisaddu soo sagootiday, waxay sii dhex mareen Foynike iyo Samaariya, iyagoo ka warramaya sidii dadkii aan Yuhuudda ahayn u soo jeesteen; waxayna aad uga farxiyeen walaalihii oo dhan. Oo markay Yeruusaalem yimaadeen, ayaa kiniisaddii iyo rasuulladii iyo waayeelladiiba soo dhoweeyeen, markaasay waxay uga warrameen waxyaalihii Ilaah iyaga la sameeyey oo dhan. Laakiin waxaa kacay kuwo dariiqadii Farrisiinta ahaa oo rumaysnaa, kuwaasoo leh, Waa in la gudo iyaga, oo lagu amro inay sharciga Muuse xajiyaan.

Shirka Yeruusaalem

Haddaba rasuulladii iyo waayeelladii baa ururay inay xaajadan ka tashadaan. Oo kolkay wax badan su'aaleenna, Butros baa istaagay oo ku yidhi iyagii,

Walaalayaalow, waad og tihiin in maalmo hore Ilaah dhexdiinna ka doortay in dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn ay afkayga ereygii injiilka ka maqlaan oo ay rumaystaan. Oo Ilaaha qalbiga garta ayaa u markhaati furay iyaga, wuxuuna iyaga siiyey Ruuxa Quduuska ah siduu innagana inoo siiyey; oo inama kala soocin innaga iyo iyaga, laakiin qalbiyadooda rumaysad buu ku nadiifiyey. 10 Haddaba maxaad Ilaah u jirrabaysaan inaad [a]harqood qoorta xerta saartaan, kaasoo innaga iyo awowayaasheen aynaan qaadi karin? 11 Laakiin waxaan rumaysan nahay inaynu ku badbaadi doonno nimcadii Rabbi Ciise siday ugu badbaadi doonaan.

12 Dadkii badnaa oo dhammu way wada aamuseen; wayna dhegaysteen Barnabas iyo Bawlos markay uga warramayeen intay ahaayeen calaamooyinkii iyo yaababkii Ilaah gacantooda ku sameeyey dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn dhexdooda. 13 Kolkay aamuseen dabadeed ayaa Yacquub u jawaabay, isagoo leh,

14 Walaalayaalow, i dhegaysta, Simecoon waa ka warramay sidii Ilaah markii ugu horraysay u soo booqday dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn inuu dad uga soo bixiyo iyaga magiciisa aawadiis. 15 Taasuna waxay raacsan tahay hadalladii nebiyada; siday ugu qoran tahay,

16 Waxyaalahaas dabadeed waan soo noqon doonaa,
Oo mar labaad ayaan dhisi doonaa taambuuggii Daa'uud oo dhacay;
Oo mar labaad ayaan dhisi doonaa jajabkiisa,
Waanan taagi doonaa;
17 Si nimankii hadhay ay Rabbiga u doondoonaan,
Iyo quruumaha oo dhan oo magacayga loogu yeedho,
18 Taas waxaa yidhi Rabbiga waxyaalahaas muujiyey tan iyo bilowgii dunida.

19 Sidaas daraaddeed taladaydu waxay tahay inaynaan dhibin kuwa ka mid ah dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn oo Ilaah u jeestay; 20 laakiin inaynu u qorno iyagii inay ka fogaadaan wasakhnimada sanamyada, iyo sinada, iyo waxa la ceejiyo, iyo dhiigga. 21 Maxaa yeelay, tan iyo qarniyadii hore waxaa Muuse magaalo walba ku leeyahay kuwa dadka ku wacdiya waxa isaga ku saabsan, oo sabti walba sunagogyadaa laga akhriyaa.

Warqaddii Loo Diray Masiixiyiintii Aan Yuhuudda Ahayn

22 Kolkaasay la wanaagsanaatay rasuulladii iyo waayeelladii iyo kiniisaddii oo dhan inay iska dhex doortaan niman ay Antiyokh ula diraan Bawlos iyo Barnabas, kuwaas oo ahaa Yuudas oo la odhan jiray Barsabaas iyo Silas oo ahaa niman madax ah walaalaha dhexdooda. 23 Markaasay qoreen oo iyagii la direen warqad leh, Annagoo ah rasuullada iyo walaalaha waayeellada ah waxaannu soo salaamaynaa walaalaha ka mid ah dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn oo jooga Antiyokh iyo Suuriya iyo Kilikiya. 24 Waxaannu maqallay in kuwo annaga naga tegey hadallo idinku dhibeen, nafihiinnana rogayeen, kuwaasoo aannan u amrin; 25 sidaas daraaddeed waxaa nala wanaagsanaatay, annagoo isku qalbi noqonnay, inaannu soo dooranno niman aannu idiinla soo dirno gacaliyayaashayadii Barnabas iyo Bawlos, 26 kuwaasoo ah niman naftooda u biimeeyey magicii Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix aawadiis. 27 Sidaas aawadeed waxaannu soo dirnay Yuudas iyo Silas kuwaasoo iyaguna afka idiinka sheegi doona waxyaalahaas oo kale. 28 Waxaa la wanaagsanaatay Ruuxa Quduuska ah iyo annagaba inaannan idin saarin culaab ka weyn waxyaalahan waajibka ah. 29 Waa inaad ka fogaataan waxa sanamyada loo sadqeeyo, iyo dhiig, iyo waxa la ceejiyo, iyo sinada. Kuwaas haddaad iska dhawrtaan si wanaagsan baad yeeli doontaan. Nabadgelyo.

30 Sidaas daraaddeed, kolkii la diray ayay waxay yimaadeen Antiyokh; oo markay dadkii badnaa isu ururiyeen dabadeed waxay u dhiibeen warqaddii. 31 Markay akhriyeenna ayay waanadii ku farxeen. 32 Yuudas iyo Silas, iyagoo qudhooduna nebiyo ahaa, ayay hadallo badan walaalihii ku waaniyeen oo ku xoogeeyeen. 33 Oo markay muddo joogeen dabadeed ayaa walaalihii nabad ugu direen kuwii iyagii u soo diray. 34 Laakiin waxaa Silas la wanaagsanaatay inuu meeshaas sii joogo. 35 Laakiin Bawlos iyo Barnabas ayaa Antiyokh sii joogay, oo waxay kuwo badan oo kale la barayeen oo kula wacdiyeyeen ereyga Rabbiga.

Bawlos Iyo Barnabas Way Kala Tageen

36 Maalmo dabadeed Bawlos ayaa wuxuu Barnabas ku yidhi, Hadda aynu ku noqonno oo booqanno walaalaha jooga magaalo kasta oo aynu ereyga Rabbiga ku wacdinnay inaan soo aragno siday yihiin. 37 Barnabas wuxuu doonayay inay kaxaystaan Yooxanaa oo la odhan jiray Markos. 38 Laakiin Bawlos waxaa la wanaagsanaatay inayan kaxaysan isaga kaasoo iyaga kaga tegey Bamfuliya oo aan shuqulkii iyaga u raacin. 39 Waxaa dhacay khilaaf weyn; sidaas daraaddeed way kala tageen, markaasaa Barnabas kaxaystay Markos, oo wuxuu u dhoofay Qubrus; 40 laakiin Bawlos wuxuu doortay Silas, markaasuu baxay isagoo ay walaalihii ku ammaana gelinayaan nimcadii Ilaah. 41 Oo wuxuu dhex maray Suuriya iyo Kilikiya isagoo kiniisadihii xoogaynaya.

The Council at Jerusalem

15 Certain people(A) came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers:(B) “Unless you are circumcised,(C) according to the custom taught by Moses,(D) you cannot be saved.” This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem(E) to see the apostles and elders(F) about this question. The church sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia(G) and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted.(H) This news made all the believers very glad. When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything God had done through them.(I)

Then some of the believers who belonged to the party(J) of the Pharisees(K) stood up and said, “The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”(L)

The apostles and elders met to consider this question. After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: “Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.(M) God, who knows the heart,(N) showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them,(O) just as he did to us. He did not discriminate between us and them,(P) for he purified their hearts by faith.(Q) 10 Now then, why do you try to test God(R) by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke(S) that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear? 11 No! We believe it is through the grace(T) of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.”

12 The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the signs and wonders(U) God had done among the Gentiles through them.(V) 13 When they finished, James(W) spoke up. “Brothers,” he said, “listen to me. 14 Simon[a] has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles.(X) 15 The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written:

16 “‘After this I will return
    and rebuild David’s fallen tent.
Its ruins I will rebuild,
    and I will restore it,
17 that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
    even all the Gentiles who bear my name,
says the Lord, who does these things’[b](Y)
18     things known from long ago.[c](Z)

19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols,(AA) from sexual immorality,(AB) from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.(AC) 21 For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”(AD)

The Council’s Letter to Gentile Believers

22 Then the apostles and elders,(AE) with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch(AF) with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas,(AG) men who were leaders among the believers. 23 With them they sent the following letter:

The apostles and elders, your brothers,

To the Gentile believers in Antioch,(AH) Syria(AI) and Cilicia:(AJ)

Greetings.(AK)

24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.(AL) 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives(AM) for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas(AN) to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit(AO) and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.(AP) You will do well to avoid these things.

Farewell.

30 So the men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they gathered the church together and delivered the letter. 31 The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message. 32 Judas and Silas,(AQ) who themselves were prophets,(AR) said much to encourage and strengthen the believers. 33 After spending some time there, they were sent off by the believers with the blessing of peace(AS) to return to those who had sent them. [34] [d] 35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, where they and many others taught and preached(AT) the word of the Lord.(AU)

Disagreement Between Paul and Barnabas

36 Some time later Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns(AV) where we preached the word of the Lord(AW) and see how they are doing.” 37 Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark,(AX) with them, 38 but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them(AY) in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work. 39 They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company. Barnabas took Mark and sailed for Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas(AZ) and left, commended by the believers to the grace of the Lord.(BA) 41 He went through Syria(BB) and Cilicia,(BC) strengthening the churches.(BD)
