    Acts 15
    • 1   Basi, watu wengine walifika Antiokia kutoka Yudea wakaanza kuwafundisha wale ndugu wakisema, "Kama hamtatahiriwa kufuatana na mapokeo ya Sheria ya Mose, hamtaweza kuokolewa."
    • 2   Jambo hili lilisababisha ubishi mkubwa, na baada ya Paulo na Barnaba kujadiliana nao, ikaamuliwa Paulo na Barnaba pamoja na waumini kadhaa wa lile kanisa la Antiokia waende Yerusalemu kuwaona wale mitume na wazee kuhusu jambo hilo.
    • 3   Basi, kanisa liliwaaga, nao walipokuwa wanapitia Foinike na Samaria waliwaeleza watu jinsi mataifa mengine yalivyomgeukia Mungu. Habari hizo zikawafurahisha sana ndugu hao wote.
    • 4   Walipofika Yerusalemu walikaribishwa na kanisa, mitume na wazee; nao wakawapa taarifa juu ya yote Mungu aliyoyafanya pamoja nao.
    • 5   Lakini waumini wengine waliokuwa wa kikundi cha Mafarisayo walisimama, wakasema, "Ni lazima watu wa mataifa mengine watahiriwe na kufundishwa kuifuata Sheria ya Mose."
    • 6   Basi, mitume na wazee walifanya mkutano maalum wa kuchunguza jambo hilo.
    • 7   Baada ya majadiliano marefu, Petro alisimama, akasema, "Ndugu zangu, ninyi mnafahamu kwamba hapo awali Mungu alipenda kunichagua mimi miongoni mwenu niihubiri Habari Njema, ili watu wa mataifa wapate kusikia na kuamini.
    • 8   Naye Mungu anayejua mioyo ya watu, alithibitisha kwamba amewakubali kwa kuwapa nao Roho Mtakatifu kama alivyotupa sisi.
    • 9   Hakufanya ubaguzi wowote kati yetu na wao; aliitakasa mioyo yao kwa imani.
    • 10   Sasa basi, kwa nini kumjaribu Mungu kwa kuwatwika hao waumini mzigo ambao wala babu zetu, wala sisi hatukuweza kuubeba?
    • 11   Isiwe hivyo, ila tunaamini kwamba, sisi kama vile wao, tunaokolewa kwa njia ya neema ya Bwana Yesu."
    • 12   Kikundi chote kilikaa kimya, kikawasikiliza Barnaba na Paulo wakieleza miujiza na maajabu ambayo Mungu alitenda kwa mikono yao kati ya watu wa mataifa mengine.
    • 13   Walipomaliza kuongea, Yakobo alianza kusema: "Ndugu zangu, nisikilizeni!
    • 14   Simoni ameeleza jinsi Mungu hapo awali alivyojishughulisha na watu wa mataifa mengine, akachagua baadhi yao wawe watu wake.
    • 15   Jambo hili ni sawa kabisa na maneno ya manabii, kama Maandiko Matakatifu yasemavyo:
    • 16   Baada ya mambo haya nitarudi. Nitaijenga tena ile nyumba ya Daudi iliyoanguka; nitayatengeneza magofu yake na kuijenga tena.
    • 17   Hapo watu wengine wote, watu wa mataifa yote niliowaita wawe wangu, watamtafuta Bwana.
    • 18   Ndivyo asemavyo Bwana, aliyefanya jambo hili lijulikane tangu kale.
    • 19   "Kwa hiyo, uamuzi wangu ni huu: tusiwataabishe watu wa mataifa wanomgeukia Mungu.
    • 20   Bali tuwapelekee barua kuwaambia wasile vyakula vilivyotiwa najisi kwa kutambikiwa sanamu za miungu; wajiepushe na uasherati; wasile mnyama yeyote aliyenyongwa, na wasinywe damu.
    • 21   Kwa maana kwa muda mrefu maneno ya Mose yamekuwa yakihubiriwa katika kila mji na kusomwa katika masunagogi yote kila siku ya Sabato."
    • 22   Mitume, wazee na kanisa lote waliamua kuwachagua watu fulani miongoni mwao na kuwatuma Antiokia pamoja na Paulo na Barnaba. Basi, wakamchagua Yuda aitwaye pia Barsaba, na Sila ambao wote walikuwa wanajulikana zaidi kati ya ndugu.
    • 23   Wakawapa barua hii: "Sisi mitume na wazee, ndugu zenu, tunawasalimuni ninyi ndugu wa mataifa mengine mlioko huko Antiokia, Siria na Kilikia.
    • 24   Tumesikia kwamba watu wengine kutoka huku kwetu waliwavurugeni kwa maneno yao, wakaitia mioyo yenu katika wasiwasi. Lakini wamefanya hivyo bila ya idhini yoyote kutoka kwetu.
    • 25   Hivyo, tumeamua kwa pamoja kuwachagua watu kadhaa na kuwatuma kwenu pamoja na wapenzi wetu Barnaba na Paulo,
    • 26   ambao wamehatarisha maisha yao kwa ajili ya jina la Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
    • 27   Kwa hiyo, tunawatuma Yuda na Sila kwenu; hawa watawaambieni wao wenyewe haya tuliyoandika.
    • 28   Basi, Roho Mtakatifu na sisi tumekubali tusiwatwike mzigo zaidi ya mambo haya muhimu:
    • 29   Msile vyakula vilivyotambikiwa sanamu; msinywe damu; msile nyama ya mnyama aliyenyongwa; na mjiepushe na uasherati. Mtakuwa mmefanya vema kama mkiepa kufanya mambo hayo. Wasalaam!"
    • 30   Baada ya kuwaaga, hao wajumbe walielekea Antiokia ambako waliita mkutano wa waumini, wakawapa hiyo barua.
    • 31   Walipoisoma hiyo barua, maneno yake yaliwatia moyo, wakafurahi sana.
    • 32   Yuda na Sila, ambao nao walikuwa manabii, walizungumza na hao ndugu kwa muda mrefu wakiwatia moyo na kuwaimarisha.
    • 33   Baada ya kukaa huko kwa muda fulani, ndugu wa Antiokia waliwaaga wakiwatakia amani, kisha wakarudi kwa wale waliokuwa wamewatuma.
    • 34   Lakini Sila aliamua kubaki.
    • 35   Paulo na Barnaba walibaki huko Antiokia kwa muda; wakafundisha na kuhubiri neno la Bwana, pamoja na watu wengine wengi.
    • 36   Baada ya siku kadhaa, Paulo alimwambia Barnaba, "Turudi tukawatembelee wale ndugu katika kila mji tulikolihubiri neno la Bwana tukajionee jinsi wanavyoendelea."
    • 37   Barnaba alitaka wamchukue pia Yohane aitwaye Marko.
    • 38   Lakini Paulo hakupendelea kumchukua Marko, ambaye awali aliwaacha kule Pamfulia na kukataa kushiriki katika kazi yao.
    • 39   Basi kukatokea ubishi mkali kati yao, na wakaachana. Barnaba akamchukua Marko, wakapanda meli kwenda Kupro.
    • 40   Naye Paulo akamchagua Sila, na baada ya ndugu wa mahali hapo kumweka chini ya ulinzi wa neema ya Bwana, akaondoka.
    • 41   Katika safari hiyo alipitia Siria na Kilikia akiyaimarisha makanisa.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
