Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Acunüng, Bawipaa khüibi bi u lü ami ei ami jeih k'um üng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw, “Khutbi khai xawia ka jah mcawna Banabah ja Sawluh cun na jah phyäi hnga ua” a ti.
As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, 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, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw Banabahh ja Sawluh a jah tüihnak üng Selukih mlüha ju cit ni lü, acun üngka naw Kuparuh kawnga mlawng üng citki xawi.
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Acunüng, Salamih mlüha ani pha üng, Judahea sinakoka Pamhnama ngthu pyenki xawi; Johan ami tia Makuh pi jah kpüi khaia ani cehpüi.
When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.
6 Acuna kyawn avan üng cit hü ni lü, Papos cäpa cit hüki xawi; acunüng Judah khyang mat sui khyaihki a ngming Bar Jesuh naw kei sahmaki tiki ani hmuh.
When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,
7 Sekijah Pawluh cun Bar-Jesuh a nglawipüia kyaki. Sekijah Pawluh cun khyang kthema kya lü Papos kyawn upki kyaki. Ani naw Banabah ja Sawluh jah khü lü, Pamhnama ngthu ngai hlüki.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought 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 sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside 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 is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
10 “Nang khawyaia ca ni, nang cun dawkyanaka ye ni, kpyüpyehnak naküt am na beki, Bawipaa ngthukcange hleihlaka nghlatsak khai na ktha naki!
and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways 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.
Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to 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, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Pawluh cun a ngkhahpüi xawi am, Papos üngka naw mlawng am cit u lü Pampulih hne Parkah mlüha pha u se, acunüng, Johan naki Makuh naw jah cehta lü, Jerusalem da nglat beki.
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Acunsepi, anini cun Parkah mlüh üngka naw cit laihlaih ni lü, Pisidih hne Antiok mlüh pha ni lü, acunüng, sabbath mhnüp üng sinakoka lut ni lü ngawki xawi.
But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.
15 Mosia Thume ja sahmaea cae ami khe law Päng üng, sinakok ngvaie naw, ani veia khyang tüih u lü, “Bena xawi aw, khyang nani jah mcäinak vaia ngthu a ve üng pyen nia” ami ti.
After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."
16 Pawluh ngdüi law lü a kut säng lü, “Pamhnam kyühkia Isarele ja khyangmjükcee aw, ngai ua.
Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
18 Kum kphyükip khawkhyawng khawa a jah mcei.
For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
19 Kanan pea khyangmjü khyüh ja näng lü acun käna acuna pe cun Isarele am a jah kanaksak.
When he had 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.
All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
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.
Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Acun käna ani ksät lü Isarelea sangpuxang vaia Davit a mcawn be; Pamhnam naw cuna mawng cun ngsingsak lü, ‘Jisea cakpa, Davit, ka mlunga mäi mlung naki hmu veng, ani naw ka ngjakhlü naküt bi khai’ a ti.
When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
23 Pamhnam naw khyütam a jah peta mäiha, Isarele jah küikyan khai Davita mjü üngka Jesuh a jah pet,
From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, 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.
before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Johana khut binak a päih law hlü üng, Johan naw, ‘U a nami na ngaiki ni? Kei nami ngäng ua am kya nawng. Acunsepi, ngai u, ka hnua law khai khyang ta, kei naw ania khawdawk suh pet khaia pi am nglawi veng’ a ti.
As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
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.
Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.
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, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
28 A thihnak vai i am hmu u lüpi, Pilata veia hnim vaia msokie.
Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
29 Acunüng, a mawng sahmae naküt naw ami yuk, ami kümsak käna, kutlamktung üngka naw khya u lü lungdüa ami k’ut.
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.
30 Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be.
But God raised him from 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.
and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 Keini naw pi, mi pupaea veia khyütam, thangkdaw ka ning jah mtheh lawki ni, acukba Pamhnam naw Jesuh a mthawh benak am, hina khyütam mi cae üng kümsakki, Salan anghnginak üng pi, ‘Nang ka ning cakpaa na kyaki; tungawi na paa ka kyaki’ tia ng’yuki.
We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'
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.
"Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of David.'
35 Acunakyase, Salan kce üng pi, ‘Sitihki na mpya a thukyaw vai am tängki’ a ti sih.
Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
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, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.
37 Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngkhyüh amthawh be cun acukba am kya.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
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 to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,
39 Au pi ani jumeiki naküt cun Mosia thum naw, am a mhlät thei pi mhlät khai.
and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.
40 Acunakyase, sahmae naw ami pyen cän nami khana käh apha law vaia mcei ua.
So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
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.
'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to you.'"
42 Pawluh ja Banabah cun Sinakok üngka naw ani lu law be üng, khyange naw, acuna ngthu cun sabbath bekce üng pi ani pyen be vaia ami jah nghuinak.
So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.
43 Ngkhämkie ami ngpyen be ja, Judahea ja Judah thuma ngpyawtkie khyangmjükcee naw Pawluh ja Banabah jah läk u se, Pamhnama bäkhäknak üng ami ve nglät vaia jah mcäiki xawi.
Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Acunüng, sabbath betü üng, Bawipaa ngthu ngai khaiea, mlüh üngka avan lawki he.
The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
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 when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.
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)
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (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 so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part 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)
As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Bawipa ngthu cun acuna khaw avan üng ngthang päihki.
The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
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 stirred up the devout women of prominence and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
51 Acunüng, ngsä xawi naw ani khawpha üngka mput cun khawk hüt ni lü Ikonih khawa citki xawi.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 Antioka vekia jumeikie cun jekyainak ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am bekie.
The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
