The Council in Jerusalem
1有幾個人，從猶太下來，教訓弟兄們說，你們若不按摩西的規條受割禮，不能得救。2保羅巴拿巴與他們大大的分爭辯論，眾門徒就定規，叫保羅巴拿巴和本會中幾個人，為所辯論的，上耶路撒冷去，見使徒和長老。3於是教會送他們起行，他們經過腓尼基，撒瑪利亞，隨處傳說外邦人歸主的事，叫眾弟兄都甚歡喜。4到了耶路撒冷，教會和使徒並長老，都接待他們，他們就述說神同他們所行的一切事。5惟有幾個信徒是法利賽教門的人，起來說，必須給外邦人行割禮，吩咐他們遵守摩西的律法。
1Some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2And after Paul and Barnabas had a heated argument and debate with them, the brothers determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue. 3Therefore, after being sent on their way by the church, they were passing through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and they were bringing great joy to all the brothers and sisters. 4When they arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church, the apostles, and the elders, and they reported all that God had done with them. 5But some of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to keep the Law of Moses.”
6使徒和長老，聚會商議這事。7辯論已經多了，彼得就起來，說，諸位弟兄，你們知道神早已在你們中間揀選了我，叫外邦人從我 口中得聽福音之道，而且相信。8知道人心的神，也為他們作了見證；賜聖靈給他們，正如給我們一樣。9又藉著信潔淨了他們的心，並不分他們我們。10現在為甚麼試探神，要把我們 祖宗和我們所不能負的軛，放在門徒的頸項上呢。11我們得救，乃是因主耶穌的恩，和他們一樣，這是我們所信的。
6The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter. 7After there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles would hear the word of the gospel and believe. 8“And God, who knows the heart, testified to them giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; 9and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. 10“Since this is the case, why are you putting God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear? 11“But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.”
James’ Judgment
12眾人都默默無聲，聽巴拿巴和保羅，述說神藉他們在外邦人中所行的神蹟奇事。13他們住了聲，雅各就說，諸位弟兄，請聽我的話。14方纔西門述說神當初怎樣眷顧外邦人，從他們中間選取百姓歸於自己的名下。15眾先知的話，也與這意思相合；正如經上所寫的，16此後我要回來，重新修造大衛倒塌的帳幕，把那破壞的，重新修造建立起來；17叫餘剩的人，就是凡稱為我名下的外邦人，都尋求主；18這話是從創世以來，顯明這事的主說的。19所以據我的意見，不可難為那 歸服神的外邦人；20只要寫信，吩咐他們禁戒偶像的污穢和姦淫，並勒死的牲畜，和血。21因為從古以來，摩西的書在各城有人 傳講，每逢安息日，在會堂裏誦讀。
12All the people kept silent, and they were listening to Barnabas and Paul as they were relating all the signs and wonders that God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13After they stopped speaking, James responded, saying, “Brothers, listen to me. 14“Simeon has described how God first concerned Himself about taking a people for His name from among the Gentiles. 15“The words of the Prophets agree with this, just as it is written: 16‘AFTER THESE THINGS I will return,
AND I WILL REBUILD THE FALLEN TABERNACLE OF DAVID,
AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS,
AND I WILL RESTORE IT, 17SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD,
AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,’ 18SAYS THE LORD, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS known from long ago. 19“Therefore, it is my judgment that we do not cause trouble for those from the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols, from acts of sexual immorality, from what has been strangled, and from blood. 21“For from ancient generations Moses has those who preach him in every city, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
AND I WILL REBUILD THE FALLEN TABERNACLE OF DAVID,
AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS,
AND I WILL RESTORE IT, 17SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD,
AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,’ 18SAYS THE LORD, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS known from long ago. 19“Therefore, it is my judgment that we do not cause trouble for those from the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols, from acts of sexual immorality, from what has been strangled, and from blood. 21“For from ancient generations Moses has those who preach him in every city, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
22那時，使徒和長老並全教會，定意從他們中間揀選人，差他們和保羅，巴拿巴，同往安提阿去；所揀選的，就是稱呼巴撒巴的猶大，和西拉，這兩個人在弟兄中是作首領的。23於是寫信交付他們，內中說，使徒和作長老的弟兄們，問安提阿，敘利亞，基利家外邦眾弟兄的安。24我們聽說有幾個人，從我們這裏出去，用言語攪擾你們，惑亂你們的心；有古卷在此有你們必須受割禮守摩西的律法其實我們並沒有吩咐他們；25所以我們 同心定意，揀選幾個人，差他們同我們所親愛的巴拿巴，和保羅，往你們那裏去。26這二人是為我 主耶穌基督的名，不顧性命的。27我們就差了猶大和西拉，他們也要親口訴說這些事；28因為聖靈和我們，定意不將別的重擔放在你們身上；惟有幾件事是不可少的，29就是禁戒祭偶像的物，和血，並勒死的牲畜，和姦淫；這幾件你們若能自己禁戒不犯，就好了；願你們平安。
22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas who was called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, 23and they sent this letter with them: “The apostles and the brothers who are elders, to the brothers and sisters in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia who are from the Gentiles: Greetings. 24Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have confused you by their teaching, upsetting your souls, 25it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth. 28For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: 29that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from acts of sexual immorality; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell.”
30他們既奉了差遣，就下安提阿去，聚集眾人，交付書信。31眾人念了，因為信上安慰的話，就歡喜了。32猶大和西拉也是先知，就用許多話勸勉弟兄，堅固他們。33住了些日子，弟兄們打發他們平平安安的回到差遣他們的人那裏去。34有古卷在此有 唯有西拉 定意仍住在那裏35但保羅和巴拿巴，仍住在安提阿，和許多別人一同教訓人，傳主的道。
30So when they were sent away, they went down to Antioch; and after gathering the congregation together, they delivered the letter. 31When they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement. 32Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brothers and sisters with a lengthy message. 33After they had spent time there, they were sent away from the brothers and sisters in peace to those who had sent them out. 35But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Second Missionary Journey
36過了些日子，保羅對巴拿巴說，我們可以回到從前宣傳主道的各城，看望弟兄們景況如何。37巴拿巴有意，要帶稱呼馬可的約翰同去；38但保羅，因為馬可 從前在旁非利亞離開他們，不和他們同去作工，就以為不可帶他去。39於是二人起了爭論，甚至彼此分開；巴拿巴帶著馬可，坐船往居比路去；40保羅揀選了西拉，也出去，蒙弟兄們把他交於主的恩中。41他就走遍敘利亞，基利家，堅固眾教會。
36After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return and visit the brothers and sisters in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37Barnabas wanted to take John, called Mark, along with them also. 38But Paul was of the opinion that they should not take along with them this man who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39Now it turned into such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus. 40But Paul chose Silas, and left after being entrusted by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. 41And he was traveling through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
