使徒行传 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶路撒冷会议
15 有几个从犹太下来的人教导弟兄们说：“你们若不照着摩西的规条接受割礼，就不能得救。” 2 保罗和巴拿巴为这件事与他们激烈地辩论，最后大家决定派保罗、巴拿巴和几个当地的信徒上耶路撒冷去跟使徒和长老讨论这件事。
3 于是教会为他们送行。他们经过腓尼基和撒玛利亚，沿途报告外族人悔改信主的消息，弟兄姊妹都大受鼓舞。 4 他们到了耶路撒冷，受到教会、使徒和长老的接待，并详述了上帝借他们所做的一切事。 5 有几个信了主的法利赛人站起来说：“外族的信徒必须接受割礼，而且还要遵守摩西的律法。”
6 使徒和长老们聚集商议这个问题。 7 经过许多辩论之后，彼得站起来对大家说：“弟兄们，你们都知道，上帝早已在你们当中拣选我去向外族人传道，让他们也可以听到福音并信主。 8 洞悉人心的上帝把圣灵赐给他们，正如赐给我们一样，以表明祂也接纳外族人。 9 上帝对他们和我们一视同仁，祂因他们的信心而洁净了他们的心灵。 10 现在你们为什么要试探上帝，把我们祖先和我们不能负的重担强加在这些门徒身上？ 11 我们相信，他们和我们一样都是靠主耶稣的恩典得救。”
12 众人都沉默不语，继续听巴拿巴和保罗叙述上帝借着他们在外族人中所行的神迹奇事。 13 他们报告完了，雅各站起来说：“弟兄们，请听我说。 14 刚才西门讲述了上帝当初如何眷顾外族人，从他们当中拣选人归在祂的名下。 15 这完全与众先知的话相符，正如圣经上说，
16 “‘此后，我要回来重建已倾覆的大卫王朝，
将它从废墟中重建、恢复，
17 好叫其余的百姓，
就是凡归在我名下的外族人都寻求主。’
这是上帝说的， 18 祂从亘古就显明了这事。
19 “所以，我认为不应该为难那些信上帝的外族人。 20 我们只须写信吩咐他们远避被偶像玷污之物，不可淫乱，不可吃血和勒死的牲畜。 21 因为自古以来，在各城都有人宣讲摩西的律法，每逢安息日，都有人在会堂里诵读。”
给外族信徒的信
22 最后，使徒、长老和全教会都决定从他们当中选派代表，随保罗和巴拿巴去安提阿。他们选了别号巴撒巴的犹大和西拉，这两位都是教会的领袖。 23 他们带去的书信这样说：“安提阿、叙利亚和基利迦的外族弟兄姊妹，你们的弟兄——众使徒和长老向你们问安！
24 “听说有几个人从我们这里去了你们那里，教导你们必须接受割礼并遵守摩西的律法[a]。他们的言论使你们大感困惑。其实我们从来没有授权他们这样做。 25 所以我们一致决定选派代表，随我们敬爱的巴拿巴和保罗去你们那里。 26 他们二人为我们主耶稣基督的缘故已将生死置之度外。 27 我们选派犹大和西拉两位代表跟他们一起去，向你们报告我们的决定。 28 因为圣灵和我们都认为不应把重担加在你们身上。但请务必注意以下几件事， 29 要远避祭拜偶像的事，不可吃血，不可吃勒死的牲畜，不可淫乱。你们一一遵守这些事就好了。祝平安！”
30 他们奉命下到安提阿，召集众人，交付书信。 31 众人读过这封信之后，都因信中劝勉的话而欢喜。 32 犹大和西拉也是先知，他们讲了许多勉励、坚立弟兄姊妹的话。 33 住了些日子后，安提阿的弟兄姊妹以平安的祝福为他们送行，让他们回耶路撒冷复命。 34 但西拉决定留在那里。[b] 35 保罗和巴拿巴则继续留在安提阿，与许多人一起教导、传扬上帝的道。
保罗与巴拿巴分手
36 过了一些日子，保罗对巴拿巴说：“我们回到曾传过福音的各城镇去探望弟兄姊妹吧，好知道他们的情况。” 37 巴拿巴想要带约翰·马可同去， 38 但保罗坚持不带他同行，因为他在旁非利亚离开了他们，没有和他们一起做工。
39 二人激烈地争执起来，僵持不下，只好分道扬镳。巴拿巴和约翰·马可一同乘船去塞浦路斯。 40 保罗则选了西拉同行，弟兄姊妹把他们交托在主的恩典中。 41 保罗走遍了叙利亚和基利迦，巩固当地的各教会。
Acts 15
English Standard Version
The Jerusalem Council
15 (A)But some men came down from Judea and were teaching (B)the brothers, “Unless you are (C)circumcised (D)according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 2 And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and (E)debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and (F)some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to (G)the apostles and the elders about this question. 3 So, (H)being sent on their way by the church, they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, (I)describing in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and (J)brought great joy to all (K)the brothers.[a] 4 (L)When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and (M)the apostles and the elders, and (N)they declared all that God had done with them. 5 But some believers who belonged to (O)the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, (P)“It is necessary (Q)to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.”
6 (R)The (S)apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. 7 And after there had been much (T)debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, (U)that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear (V)the word of (W)the gospel and believe. 8 And God, (X)who knows the heart, (Y)bore witness to them, (Z)by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, 9 and (AA)he made no distinction between us and them, (AB)having cleansed their hearts (AC)by faith. 10 Now, therefore, why (AD)are you putting God to the test (AE)by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples (AF)that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we (AG)believe that we will be (AH)saved through (AI)the grace of the Lord Jesus, (AJ)just as they will.”
12 And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul (AK)as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. 13 After they finished speaking, (AL)James replied, “Brothers, listen to me. 14 (AM)Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them (AN)a people for his name. 15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,
16 (AO)“‘After this I will return,
and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen;
I will rebuild its ruins,
and I will restore it,
17 that the remnant[b] of mankind (AP)may seek the Lord,
and all the Gentiles (AQ)who are called by my name,
says the Lord, who makes these things 18 (AR)known from of old.’
19 Therefore (AS)my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who (AT)turn to God, 20 but should write to them (AU)to abstain from (AV)the things polluted by idols, and from (AW)sexual immorality, and from (AX)what has been strangled, and from (AY)blood. 21 For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, (AZ)for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”
The Council's Letter to Gentile Believers
22 Then it seemed good to (BA)the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called (BB)Barsabbas, and (BC)Silas, leading men among (BD)the brothers, 23 with the following letter: (BE)“The brothers, both (BF)the apostles and the elders, to the brothers[c] who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, (BG)greetings. 24 Since we have heard that (BH)some persons have gone out from us and (BI)troubled you[d] with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, 25 it has seemed good to us, having come (BJ)to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our (BK)beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26 (BL)men who have (BM)risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 We have therefore sent (BN)Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. 28 For it has seemed good (BO)to the Holy Spirit and (BP)to us (BQ)to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: 29 (BR)that you abstain from (BS)what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”
30 So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. 31 And when they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement. 32 And Judas and Silas, who were themselves (BT)prophets, encouraged and (BU)strengthened (BV)the brothers with many words. 33 And after they had spent some time, they were sent off (BW)in peace by (BX)the brothers to those who had sent them.[e] 35 But (BY)Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Paul and Barnabas Separate
36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit (BZ)the brothers (CA)in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37 Now Barnabas wanted to take with them (CB)John called Mark. 38 But Paul thought best not to take with them one (CC)who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39 And there arose (CD)a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. (CE)Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, 40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, (CF)having been commended by (CG)the brothers to (CH)the grace of the Lord. 41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, (CI)strengthening the churches.

Biblia del Jubileo
15 ¶ Entonces algunos que venían de Judea enseñaban a los hermanos: Que si no os circuncidáis conforme al rito de Moisés, no podéis ser salvos.
2 Así que, suscitada una disensión y contienda no pequeña a Pablo y a Bernabé contra ellos, determinaron que subieran Pablo y Bernabé a Jerusalén, y algunos otros de ellos, a los apóstoles y a los ancianos, sobre esta cuestión.
3 Ellos, pues, habiendo sido acompañados de algunos de la Iglesia, pasaron por Fenicia y Samaria, contando la conversión de los gentiles; y daban gran gozo a todos los hermanos.
4 Y llegados a Jerusalén, fueron recibidos por la Iglesia y por los apóstoles y por los ancianos; y refirieron todas las cosas que Dios había hecho con ellos.
5 Mas algunos de la secta de los fariseos, que habían creído, se levantaron, diciendo: Que es necesario circuncidarlos, y mandarles que guarden la ley de Moisés.
6 ¶ Y se juntaron los apóstoles y los ancianos para conocer de este negocio.
7 Y después de grande contienda, levantándose Pedro, les dijo: Varones hermanos, vosotros sabéis cómo ya hace algún tiempo que Dios escogió que los gentiles oyeran por mi boca la Palabra del Evangelio, y creyeran.
8 Y Dios, que conoce los corazones, les dio testimonio, dándoles el Espíritu Santo también como a nosotros;
9 y ninguna diferencia hizo entre nosotros y ellos, purificando con la fe sus corazones.
10 Ahora pues, ¿por qué tentáis a Dios, poniendo sobre la cerviz de los discípulos yugo, que ni nuestros padres ni nosotros hemos podido llevar?
11 Antes por la gracia del Señor Jesús, el Cristo, creemos que seremos salvos, como también ellos.
12 Entonces toda la multitud calló, y oyeron a Bernabé y a Pablo, que contaban cuán grandes maravillas y señales Dios había hecho por ellos entre los gentiles.
13 Y después que ellos callaron, Jacobo respondió, diciendo: Varones hermanos, oídme:
14 Simón ha contado cómo Dios primero visitó a los gentiles, para tomar de ellos pueblo para su Nombre;
15 y con esto concuerdan las palabras de los profetas, como está escrito:
16 Después de esto volveré y restauraré el tabernáculo de David, que estaba caído; y repararé sus ruinas, y lo volveré a levantar;
17 para que el resto de los hombres busque al Señor, y todos los gentiles, sobre los cuales es llamado mi nombre, dice el Señor, que hace todas estas cosas.
18 Conocidas son a Dios desde el siglo todas sus obras.
19 Por lo cual yo juzgo, que los que de los gentiles se convierten a Dios, no han de ser inquietados;
20 sino escribirles que se aparten de las contaminaciones de los ídolos, y de fornicación, y de lo ahogado, y de sangre.
21 Porque Moisés desde los tiempos antiguos tiene en cada ciudad quien le predique en las sinagogas, donde es leído cada sábado.
22 ¶ Entonces pareció bien a los apóstoles y a los ancianos, con toda la Iglesia, enviar varones escogidos de entre ellos a Antioquía con Pablo y Bernabé; a Judas que tenía por sobrenombre Barsabás, y a Silas, varones principales entre los hermanos;
23 y escribir por mano de ellos: Los apóstoles y los ancianos y los hermanos, a los hermanos de los gentiles que están en Antioquía, y en Siria, y en Cilicia, salud:
24 Por cuanto hemos oído que algunos que han salido de nosotros, os han inquietado con palabras, trastornando vuestras almas, mandando circuncidaros y guardar la ley, a los cuales no mandamos;
25 nos ha parecido, congregados en uno, enviar varones escogidos a vosotros con nuestros amados Bernabé y Pablo,
26 hombres que han expuesto sus vidas por el Nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús, el Cristo.
27 Así que, enviamos a Judas y a Silas, los cuales también por palabra os harán saber lo mismo.
28 Que ha parecido bien al Espíritu Santo, y a nosotros, no imponeros ninguna carga más que estas cosas necesarias:
29 Que os abstengáis de cosas sacrificadas a ídolos, y de sangre, y de lo ahogado, y de fornicación; de las cuales cosas si os guardareis, bien haréis. Pasadlo bien.
30 Ellos entonces despedidos, descendieron a Antioquía; y juntando la multitud, dieron la carta.
31 La cual, como leyeron, fueron gozosos de la consolación.
32 Judas y Silas, como ellos también eran profetas, consolaron y confirmaron a los hermanos con abundancia de palabra.
33 Y pasando allí algún tiempo, fueron enviados de los hermanos a los apóstoles en paz.
34 Mas a Silas pareció bien el quedarse allí.
35 Y Pablo y Bernabé se estaban en Antioquía, enseñando la palabra del Señor y anunciando el Evangelio con otros muchos.
36 ¶ Y después de algunos días, Pablo dijo a Bernabé: Volvamos a visitar a los hermanos por todas las ciudades en las cuales hemos anunciado la palabra del Señor, para ver cómo están.
37 Y Bernabé quería que tomaran consigo a Juan, el que tenía por sobrenombre Marcos;
38 mas a Pablo no le parecía bien llevar consigo al que se había apartado de ellos desde Panfilia, y no había ido con ellos a la obra.
39 Y hubo tal contención entre ellos, que se apartaron el uno del otro; y Bernabé tomando a Marcos, navegó a Chipre.
40 Y Pablo escogiendo a Silas, salió encomendado de los hermanos a la gracia del Señor.
41 Y anduvo la Siria y la Cilicia, confirmando a las Iglesias.
Acts 15
King James Version
15 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
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 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 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 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 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
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 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
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 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
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 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
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 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 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
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 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
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 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 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 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
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 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
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 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
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 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 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
