Now there were in Antioch, in the assembly which was [there], prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
3 Ami ei jeih u lu ami ktaiyü law päng üng, ani khana ami kut mtaih u lü, ami ja tüih.
Then, having fasted and prayed, and having laid [their] hands on them, they let [them] go.

They therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to Cyprus.

And having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus,

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul to [him], desired to hear the word of God.
8 Acunsepi, sui khyaihki Eluma (Krik ngminga kyaki) naw jah upki cun am jumei khaia, angsä xawi a jah mah.
But Elymas the magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Sawluh naki Pawluh ami ti naw, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be lü, acuna Bar Jesuh cun büktengki naw,
But Saul, who also [is] Paul, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him,
10 “Nang khawyaia ca ni, nang cun dawkyanaka ye ni, kpyüpyehnak naküt am na beki, Bawipaa ngthukcange hleihlaka nghlatsak khai na ktha naki!
said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of [the] Lord?
11 “Tukbäih Bawipa kut na khana pha lawki tia ksinga, khawkdei käh na hmu khaia na mik mü khai” a ti. Acun ja Eluma cun nghmüp naw jin se, a kut kha hü lü kaih khai suiki.
And now behold, [the] Lord's hand [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought persons who should lead him by the hand.
12 Acunüng, kyawn upki naw acun hmuh lü, Bawipa mawng mtheimthangnak cun müna lü aktäa kyühei lü jumeiki.
Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

And having sailed from Paphos, Paul and his company came to Perga of Pamphylia; and John separated from them and returned to Jerusalem.

And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to the people, speak.

And Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken.

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in [the] land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it,
18 Kum kphyükip khawkhyawng khawa a jah mcei.
and for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.
19 Kanan pea khyangmjü khyüh ja näng lü acun käna acuna pe cun Isarele am a jah kanaksak.
And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
20 Acun käna, sahma Samuilah am a ve law ham üng, kum phyakphyü ja mhmakip ngthumkhyahkie am a jah na pet law.
And after these things he gave [them] judges till Samuel the prophet, [to the end of] about four hundred and fifty years.
21 Acun käna sangpuxang mso u se, Benjamina mjü üngka Kisah a cakpa Sawluh ngming naki, khawkum kphyükip ami sangpuxang vaia Pamhnam naw a jah pet.
And then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.

And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
23 Pamhnam naw khyütam a jah peta mäiha, Isarele jah küikyan khai Davita mjü üngka Jesuh a jah pet,
Of this man's seed according to promise has God brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
24 Jesuh naw khutbi, am a tünei law ham üng, Johan naw ami mkhyekatnak nglata u lü baptican ami khan vaia Isarel khyangea veia ngthu a pyen.
John having proclaimed before the face of his entry [among the people] [the] baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

And as John was fulfilling his course he said, Whom do ye suppose that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Abrahama mjü üngka ka püi Isarel khyange ja, hin üng Pamhnam hjawkhah khyangmjükcee aw, hina küikyannaka ngthu cun mi veia a jah kbi lawa kyaki.
Brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been sent:
27 Jerusalem mlüha vekie ja ami ngvaie naw, Jesuh cun küikyanaka Bawia, am ami ksinga phäha ja sahmaea ngthu sabbath mhnüp naküt üng ami kheh cun am ami ksinga phäha, acuna ngthue cun Jesuh ami mkat üng kümbesakie.
for those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, have fulfilled also the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, [by] judging [him].
28 A thihnak vai i am hmu u lüpi, Pilata veia hnim vaia msokie.
And having found no cause of death [in him], they begged of Pilate that he might be slain.

And when they had fulfilled all things written concerning him, they took him down from the cross and put him in a sepulchre;
30 Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be.
but God raised him from among [the] dead,
31 Acun käna Kalile üngka naw, Jerusalema a jah cehpüi khyangea veia khaw mhnüp khawvei ngdang be se, acune cun atuh Isarel khyangea veia saksikiea kyakie.
who appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.

And we declare unto you the glad tidings of the promise made to the fathers,
that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.
34 Ng’uh hnüna thukyawnaka käh cit khaia Pamhnam naw ani cun thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be vaia ngthu cun hikba a pyen, ‘Davita veia ngcimcaih lü ngsingkia dawkyanak cän nang üng ka ning pet khai’ a ti.
But that he raised him from among [the] dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies of David.
35 Acunakyase, Salan kce üng pi, ‘Sitihki na mpya a thukyaw vai am tängki’ a ti sih.
Wherefore also he says in another, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious one to see corruption.
36 Davit pi, a xün k'um üng Pamhnama ngjakhlü bi a bi käna, thi se, a pupaea hlawnga k’ut u se, lungdüa kyaw pängki ni.
For David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption.
37 Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngkhyüh amthawh be cun acukba am kya.
But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
38 Acunakyase, ka püi Isarele aw, acuna Bawi Jesuh üng mkhyekat mhlätnaka ngthu kami pyen law hin nami ksing vai hlüei veng. Mosi naw am a ning jah mhlät khawh mkhye üngkhyüh ani jumeiki avan cun jah mhlät khawhki.
Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is preached to you,
39 Au pi ani jumeiki naküt cun Mosia thum naw, am a mhlät thei pi mhlät khai.
and from all things from which ye could not be justified in the law of Moses, in him every one that believes is justified.
40 Acunakyase, sahmae naw ami pyen cän nami khana käh apha law vaia mcei ua.
See therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon [you],
41 Acun cun, ‘Hleihlakkie aw, bükteng ua, cäicing u lü thi ua; bi mat ka kpäng, acun cun khyang naw ning jah mtheh u sepi, nami xüna küt üng am jum uki” a ti.
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare it to you.

And as they went out they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing sabbath.

And the congregation of the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Acunüng, sabbath betü üng, Bawipaa ngthu ngai khaiea, mlüh üngka avan lawki he.
And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45 Acunsepi, Judahe naw khyange ami jah hmuh üng, aktäa jah cawkei u lü, Pawluha a ngthu pyen cun ngcuhpüi u lü ami ksenak.
But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, [contradicting and] speaking injuriously.
46 Acunüng, Pawluh ja Banabah naw ling ni lü, “Pamhnama ngthu nangmia veia pyen ma vaia kya kungki; acunsepi, mah u lü anglät xünnak am nami yah vaia nami pawha kya se, Pamhnama a jah ah mcäia mäiha khyangmjükceea veia ning jah nghlatak ve ning. (aiōnios g166)
And Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)
47 Acukba Bawipa naw ngthu a na pet cun, ‘Khawmdeka khütnak cäpa küikyanak na bi khaia, khyangmjükceea phäha akvaia ka ning mcawnki’ tia, kyaki” a ti.
for thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.
48 Acunüng, khyangmjükcee naw acuna ngthu ami ngjak üng je u lü Bawipaa ngthu mhlünmtaikie; acunüng, angläta xüng khaia a xü naküt naw jumkie. (aiōnios g166)
And [those of] the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
49 Bawipa ngthu cun acuna khaw avan üng ngthang päihki.
And the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country.
50 Acunsepi, Judahe naw mlüh ngvaie ja Pamhnam hjawkhahki khyangmjükcee üngka nghnumie ami jah ksük. Ami naw Pawluh ja Banabah jah khuimkhasak u lü acuna khaw üngka naw ami jah ksät.
But the Jews excited the women of the upper classes who were worshippers, and the first people of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their coasts.
51 Acunüng, ngsä xawi naw ani khawpha üngka mput cun khawk hüt ni lü Ikonih khawa citki xawi.
But they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.
52 Antioka vekia jumeikie cun jekyainak ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am bekie.
And the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Holy Spirit.
