2 保bǎo羅luó 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 與yú 他tā們men 大dà大dà 的de 分fēn 爭zhēng辯biàn 論lún 、 眾zhòng 門mén徒tú 就jiù 定dìng規guī 、 叫jiào 保bǎo羅luó 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 和hé 本běn會huì 中zhōng 幾jǐ個ge 人rén 、 為wèi 所suǒ 辯biàn論lùn 的de 、 上shàng 耶yē路lù撒sā冷lěng 去qù 、 見jiàn 使shǐ徒tú 和hé 長zhǎng老lǎo 。	2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
3 於yú是shì 教jiào會huì 送sòng 他tā們men 起qǐ 行xíng 、 他tā們men 經jīng過guò 腓féi 尼ní基jī 、 撒sā瑪mǎ利lì亞yǎ 、 隨suí處chù 傳chuán說shuō 外wài邦bāng人rén 歸guī 主zhǔ 的de 事shì 、 叫jiào 眾zhòng 弟dì兄xiōng 都dōu 甚shèn 歡huān喜xǐ 。	3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 到dào了le 耶yē路lù撒sā冷lěng 、 教jiào會huì 和hé 使shǐ徒tú 並bìng 長zhǎng老lǎo 、 都dōu 接jiē待dài 他tā們men 、 他tā們men 就jiù 述shù說shuō 神shén 同tóng 他tā們men 所suǒ 行xíng的de 一yī切qiè事shì 。	4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 惟wéi有yǒu 幾jǐ個ge 信xìn徒tú 是shì 法fǎ利lì 賽sài 教jiào門mén 的de 人rén 、 起qǐ來lai 說shuō 、 必bì須xū 給gěi 外wài邦bāng人rén 行xíng割gē禮lǐ 、 吩fēn咐fù 他tā們men 遵zūn守shǒu 摩mó西xī 的de 律lǜ法fǎ 。	5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 使shǐ徒tú 和hé 長zhǎng老lǎo 、 聚jù會huì 商shāng議yì 這zhè 事shì 。	6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
7 辯biàn論lùn 已yǐ經jīng 多duō了le 、 彼bǐ得dé 就jiù 起qǐ來lai 、 說shuō 、 諸zhū位wèi 弟dì兄xiōng 、 你nǐ們men 知zhī道dao 神shén 早zǎo已yǐ 在zài 你nǐ們men 中zhōng間jiān 揀jiǎn選xuǎn 了le 我wǒ 、 叫jiào 外wài邦bāng人rén 從cóng 我wǒ 口kǒu中zhōng 得dé 聽tīng 福fú音yīn 之zhī道dào 、 而ér且qiě 相xiāng信xìn 。	7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 知zhī道dao 人rén心xīn 的de 神shén 、 也yě 為wèi 他tā們men 作zuò了le 見jiàn證zhèng ． 賜cì 聖shèng靈líng 給gěi 他tā們men 、 正zhèng如rú 給gěi 我wǒ們men 一yí樣yàng 。	8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 又yòu 藉jiè著zhe 信xìn 潔jié淨jìng 了le 他tā們men的de 心xīn 、 並bìng 不bù分fēn 他tā們men 我wǒ們men 。	9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 現xiàn在zài 為wèi甚shén麼me 試shì探tàn 神shén 、 要yào 把bǎ 我wǒ們men 祖zǔ宗zōng 和hé 我wǒ們men 所suǒ 不bù能néng 負fù 的de 軛è 、 放fàng在zài 門mén徒tú 的de 頸jǐng項xiàng 上shàng 呢ne 。	10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 我wǒ們men 得dé救jiù 、 乃nǎi是shì 因yīn 主zhǔ 耶yē穌sū 的de 恩ēn 、 和hé 他tā們men 一yí樣yàng 、 這zhè 是shì 我wǒ們men 所suǒ 信xìn 的de 。	11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12 眾zhòng人rén 都dōu 默mò默mò 無wú聲shēng 、 聽tīng 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 和hé 保bǎo羅luó 、 述shù說shuō 神shén 藉jiè 他tā們men 在zài外wài 邦bāng 人rén中zhōng 所suǒ 行xíng的de 神shén蹟jī 奇qí事shì 。	12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 他tā們men 住zhù了le 聲shēng 、 雅yǎ各gè 就jiù 說shuō 、 諸zhū位wèi 弟dì兄xiōng 、 請qǐng聽tīng 我wǒ的de 話huà 。	13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 方fāng 纔cái 西xī門mén 述shù說shuō 神shén 當dāng初chū 怎zěn樣yàng 眷juàn顧gù 外wài邦bāng人rén 、 從cóng 他tā們men 中zhōng間jiān 選xuǎn取qǔ 百bǎi姓xìng 歸guī於yú 自zì己jǐ的de 名míng下xià 。	14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 眾zhòng 先xiān知zhī 的de話huà 、 也yě 與yú 這zhè 意yì思si 相xiāng合hé ．	15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 正zhèng如rú 經jīng 上shàng 所suǒ 寫xiě的de 、『 此cǐ後hòu 我wǒ 要yào 回huí來lai 、 重chóng新xīn 修xiū造zào 大dà衛wèi 倒dǎo塌tā 的de 帳zhàng幕mù 、 把bǎ 那nà 破pò壞huài 的de 、 重chóng新xīn 修xiū造zào 建jiàn立lì 起qǐ來lai ．	16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 叫jiào 餘yú 剩shèng 的de 人rén 、 就jiù是shì 凡fán 稱chēng為wéi 我wǒ 名míng下xià 的de 外wài邦bāng人rén 、 都dōu 尋xún求qiú 主zhǔ ．	17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18 這zhè 話huà 是shì 從cóng 創chuàng世shì 以yǐ來lái 、 顯xiǎn明míng 這zhè 事shì 的de 主zhǔ 說shuō的de 。』	18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 所suǒ以yǐ 據jù 我wǒ的de 意yì見jiàn 、 不bù可kě 難nán為wèi 那nà 歸guī 服fú 神shén 的de 外wài邦bāng人rén ．	19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 只zhǐ 要yào 寫xiě信xìn 、 吩fēn咐fù 他tā們men 禁jīn 戒jiè 偶ǒu像xiàng 的de 污wū穢huì 和hé 姦jiān淫yín 、 並bìng 勒lè死sǐ 的de 牲shēng畜chù 、 和hé 血xuè 。	20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 因yīn為wèi 從cóng 古gǔ 以yǐ來lái 、 摩mó西xī 的de 書shū 在zài 各gè 城chéng 有yǒu人rén 傳chuán講jiǎng 、 每měi逢féng 安ān息xí日rì 、 在zài 會huì堂táng 裡lǐ 誦sòng讀dú 。	21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
22 那nà時shí 、 使shǐ徒tú 和hé 長zhǎng老lǎo 並bìng 全quán 教jiào會huì 、 定dìng 意yì 從cóng 他tā們men 中zhōng間jiān 揀jiǎn選xuǎn 人rén 、 差chāi 他tā們men 和hé 保bǎo羅luó 、 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 、 同tóng住zhù 安ān 提tí 阿ā 去qù ． 所suǒ 揀jiǎn選xuǎn 的de 、 就jiù是shì 稱chēng呼hū 巴bā 撒sā 巴bā 的de 猶yóu大dà 、 和hé 西xī拉lā 、 這zhè 兩liǎng個ge 人rén 在zài 弟dì兄xiōng 中zhōng 是shì 作zuò 首shǒu領lǐng 的de 。	22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 於yú是shì 寫xiě信xìn 交jiāo付fù 他tā們men 、 內nèi中zhōng 說shuō 、 使shǐ徒tú 和hé 作zuò 長zhǎng老lǎo 的de 弟dì兄xiōng們mén 、 問wèn安ān 提tí 阿ā 、 敘xù利lì亞yà 、 基jī利lì 家jiā 外wài邦bāng 眾zhòng 弟dì兄xiōng 的de 安ān 。	23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
24 我wǒ們men 聽tīng說shuō 有yǒu 幾jǐ個ge 人rén 、 從cóng 我wǒ們men 這zhè裡lǐ 出chū去qù 、 用yòng 言yán語yǔ 攪jiǎo擾rǎo 你nǐ們men 、 惑huò 亂luàn 你nǐ們men的de 心xīn ． 〔 有yǒu 古gǔ 卷juǎn 在zài 此cǐ 有yǒu 你nǐ們men 必bì須xū 受shòu 割gē禮lǐ 守shǒu 摩mó西xī 的de 律lǜ法fǎ 〕 其qí實shí 我wǒ們men 並bìng沒méi有yǒu 吩fēn咐fù 他tā們men ．	24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 所suǒ以yǐ 我wǒ們men 同tóng心xīn 定dìng 意yì 、 揀jiǎn選xuǎn 幾jǐ個ge 人rén 、 差chāi 他tā們men 同tóng 我wǒ們men 所suǒ 親qīn愛ài的de 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 、 和hé 保bǎo羅luó 、 往wǎng 你nǐ們men 那nà裡li 去qù 。	25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 這zhè 二èr人rén 是shì 為wèi 我wǒ 主zhǔ 耶yē穌sū基jī督dū 的de 名míng 、 不bù顧gù 性xìng命mìng 的de 。	26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 我wǒ們men 就jiù 差chāi 了le 猶yóu大dà 和hé 西xī拉lā 、 他tā們men 也yě 要yào 親qīn口kǒu 訴sù說shuō 這zhè些xie 事shì ．	27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 因yīn為wèi 聖shèng靈líng 和hé 我wǒ們men 、 定dìng 意yì 不bù 將jiāng 別bié的de 重zhòng擔dān 放fàng在zài 你nǐ們men 身shēn上shàng ． 惟wéi有yǒu 幾jǐ件jiàn 事shì 是shì 不bù可kě 少shǎo的de 、	28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 就jiù是shì 禁jīn 戒jiè 祭jì 偶ǒu像xiàng 的de 物wù 、 和hé 血xuè 、 並bìng 勒lè死sǐ 的de 牲shēng畜chù 、 和hé 姦jiān淫yín ． 這zhè 幾jǐ件jiàn 你nǐ們men 若ruò 能néng 自zì己jǐ 禁jīn 戒jiè 不bù犯fàn 、 就jiù 好hǎo了le ． 願yuàn 你nǐ們men 平píng安ān 。	29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 他tā們men 既jì 奉fèng 了le 差chāi遣qiǎn 、 就jiù 下xià 安ān 提tí 阿ā 去qù 、 聚jù集jí 眾zhòng人rén 、 交jiāo付fù 書shū信xìn 。	30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 眾zhòng人rén 念niàn 了le 、 因yīn為wèi 信xìn上shàng 安ān慰wèi 的de話huà 、 就jiù 歡huān喜xǐ 了le 。	31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 猶yóu大dà 和hé 西xī拉lā 也yě 是shì 先xiān知zhī 、 就jiù 用yòng 許xǔ多duō 話huà 勸quàn勉miǎn 弟dì兄xiōng 、 堅jiān固gù 他tā們men 。	32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
33 住zhù了le 些xiē 日rì子zi 、 弟dì兄xiōng們mén 打dǎ發fā 他tā們men 平píng平píng安ān安ān 的de 回huí到dào 差chāi遣qiǎn 他tā們men的de 人rén 那nà裡li 去qù 。〔 有yǒu 古gǔ 卷juǎn 在zài 此cǐ 有yǒu 〕	33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
34 〔 惟wéi有yǒu 西xī拉lā 定dìng 意yì 仍réng 住zhù在zài 那nà裡li 〕	34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 但dàn 保bǎo羅luó 和hé 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 、 仍réng 住zhù在zài 安ān 提tí 阿ā 、 和hé 許xǔ多duō 別bié人rén 一yī同tóng 教jiào訓xun 人rén 、 傳chuán 主zhǔ 的de 道dào 。	35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 過guò了le 些xiē 日rì子zi 、 保bǎo羅luó 對duì 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 說shuō 、 我wǒ們men 可kě以yǐ 回huí到dào 從cóng前qián 宣xuān傳chuán 主zhǔ 道dào 的de 各gè 城chéng 、 看kàn望wàng 弟dì兄xiōng們mén 景jǐng況kuàng 如rú何hé 。	36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.
37 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 有yǒu意yì 、 要yào 帶dài 稱chēng呼hū 馬mǎ可kě 的de 約yuē翰hàn 同tóng去qù ．	37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38 但dàn 保bǎo羅luó 、 因yīn為wèi 馬mǎ可kě 從cóng前qián 在zài旁páng 非fēi 利lì亞yà 離lí開kāi 他tā們men 、 不bù和hé 他tā們men 同tóng去qù 作zuò 工gōng 、 就jiù 以yǐ為wéi 不bù可kě 帶dài 他tā 去qù 。	38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 於yú是shì 二èr人rén 起qǐ了le 爭zhēng論lùn 、 甚shèn至zhì 彼bǐ此cǐ 分fēn開kāi ． 巴bā 拿ná 巴bā 帶dài著zhe 馬mǎ可kě 、 坐zuò船chuán 往wǎng 居jū 比bǐ 路lù 去qù ．	39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
40 保bǎo羅luó 揀jiǎn選xuǎn 了le 西xī拉lā 、 也yě 出chū去qù 、 蒙méng 弟dì兄xiōng們mén 把bǎ 他tā 交jiāo 於yú 主zhǔ 的de 恩ēn 中zhōng 。	40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
41 他tā 就jiù 走zǒu遍biàn 敘xù利lì亞yà 、 基jī利lì 家jiā 、 堅jiān固gù 眾zhòng 教jiào會huì 。	41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
