Ngsäea Khut 2
1 Pentikos mhnüp a pha law üng, jumeikia khyang avan cun atänga hnün at üng ngkhämkie.
At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;
2 Acunüng, khankhaw üngkhyüh naw, angxita, khawkhia mäiha ng'yüngki cun ami venaka im üng pha law lü be lawki.
when suddenly there came from the sky a sound as of a strong rushing blast of wind. This filled the whole house where they were sitting;
3 Acunüng mleie cun meia mäiha däi lü mat cim üng pek se ami hmuh u.
and they saw tongues of what looked like fire distributing themselves over the assembly, and on the head of each person a tongue alighted.
4 Ami van cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be u se, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw a jah ngthuheisaka mäiha, ngthu kce am ngthuei lawki he.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in foreign languages according as the Spirit gave them words to utter.
5 Acunüng, khankhawa ke khawmdek khan, khyawngpe naküt üngka naw lawki he jumeikia Judahe cun Jerusalem mlüha vekie.
Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every part of the world.
6 Acuna ng'yüng ami ngjak ja, khyange ngkhäm lawki he. Axüsawea ngthu pyen cun khyang naküt naw amimäta ngthu a phäh phäh üng ngjak u lü, cäieikie.
So when this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.
7 Acunüng, ami ngkhä cäica law u lü, “Hina ngthu pyenkie cen Kalile khyangea am kya u bä!
They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, "Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?
8 Ise hina ami ngthu pyen cän mi van naw mi khyü phäh phäh üng mi ksing thei ni?
How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them?
9 Mimi cun avang Pontas khaw, Medih khaw, ja Elam khawa kae; avang cun Mesopotemih khaw, Judah khaw, ja Kappadokih khawa kae; avang cun Pontuh khaw ja Asah khawa kae,
Some of us are Parthians, Medes, Elamites. Some are inhabitants of Mesopotamia, of Judaea or Cappadocia, of Pontus or the Asian Province, of Phrygia or Pamphylia,
10 avang cun Pharikih khaw ja Pampulih khawa kae, avang cun Egypt khaw, ja Kurinih khaw peia Lihbuh khawa kaea mi kyaki. Avang he cun Romah khaw üngka naw kdung lawki hea Judahe ja Judah thum üng ngkhawkia Khyangmjükcea mi kyaki.
of Egypt or of the parts of Africa towards Cyrene. Others are visitors from Rome--being either Jews or converts from heathenism--and others are Cretans or Arabians.
11 Avang cun Karete khaw ja Arab khaw ja Judah khawa kaea mi kyaki. Cunsepi Pamhnam hlüngtaikia khutbi cun pyen u se, mimäta ngthu phäh phäh üng mi ngjaki ni” ami ti.
Yet we all alike hear these Galilaeans speaking in our own language about the wonderful things which God has done."
12 Amimi cun aktäa cäica u lü, “Hin hin ia suilam ni?” ti u lü ngthähki he.
They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another, "What can this mean?"
13 Acunüngpi khyang kcee naw, “Hina khyange hin mpyüi lawki he ni” ti u lü jah yaiheikie.
But others, scornfully jeering, said, "They are brim-full of sweet wine."
14 Acunüng, Pita cun a püi xaleiatea ksunga ngdüi law lü, angsanga, “Judah üngka khyange ja, Jerusalem mlüha nami vekia khyange aw, nami van naw na ngai ua, hina asuilam cun ka ning jah mtheh khai.
Peter however, together with the Eleven, stood up and addressed them in a loud voice. "Men of Judaea, and all you inhabitants of Jerusalem," he said, "be in no uncertainty about this matter but pay attention to what I say.
15 Hina khyange cun nami ngaiha mäiha, am mpyüi u, tuh cun ngawilam naji kaw ni a law ham ve.
For this is not intoxication, as you suppose, it being only the third hour of the day.
16 Hin cun sahma Jolah naw ana pyen khawia mawng ni:
But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:
17 ‘Pamhnam naw, akpäihnaka khaw mhnüpe üng, hikba ka pawh law khai, khyang naküta khana ka Ngmüimkhya ka bui law khai. Nami cakpae ja nami canglae naw ka ngthu sang khaie; cawngpyange naw Pamhnama mdan hmu law khaie, axü ngvaie müngmang mah khaie.
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, God says, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall have dreams;
18 Acuna khaw mhnüpe üng, ka mpyae nghnumi kpami avana khana ka Ngmüimkhya ka bui khai, amimi naw ka ngthu sang khaie.
and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 Khana vekia khankhawa cäica phyaki he ja, mcea vekia mdek khana kyühkyawk phyaki he ka ja mdang khai. Thisen lawng khai, mei ve law lü meikhu ngmüp khai.
I will display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
20 Hlüngtai kyäpsawkia Bawipaa kyum lawnak vaia Mhnüp am a pha ham üng, jin mü law lü khaw nghmüp law khai, khya pi thisena thawn lü sen law khai.
The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, to usher in the day of the Lord-- that great and illustrious day;
21 Acunüng, au pi Bawipa naw a jah yung vaia khüki naküt küikyannak khai’ a ti.
and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
22 “Isarel khyange aw, hina ngthue cän ngai ua, Pamhnam naw Nazaret Jesuha ana cun müncam phyaki he ja kyühkyawk phyaki he ani üng a mdang pänga kyaki. Acune cun nami veia ngdang pängkia kyase nami van naw nami ksingki.
"Listen, Israelites, to what I say. Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and marvels and signs which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know, Him--
23 Pamhnam naw a mlung ngaiha mäiha Jesuh cun nami kut üng ning jah mhjum pängki ni; acunüng, nangmi naw ani cun khyang ksee mah maha kutlamtung üng nami jah hnimsaki.
delivered up through God's settled purpose and foreknowledge--you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death.
24 Acunüngpi Pamhnam naw thihnak üngka, mtho be lü a lätsaka kyaki. Acunakyase thihnak naw ani cun am a man theia kyaki.
But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throes of death, for in fact it was not possible for Him to be held fast by death.
25 Ania mawng cun Davit naw pyen lü, ‘Bawipa cun am ka ve ham kcüne üng ka hmuki, ani cun ka hlawnga veki, kei üng ng’änak am ve.
For David says in reference to Him, "'I constantly fixed my eyes upon the Lord, because He is at my right hand in order that I may continue unshaken.
26 Acunakyase, ka mlung jenak üng be lü ka ngthu pi jekyainak üng beki. Kei cun thi theikia pumsaa ka kya üngpi, äpeinak üng ka ngtungjin khai.
For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope.
27 Isetiakyaküng, nang naw kei cun thihnak khawmdeka am na hawiki; sitihkia na mpya cun ng'uhnaka a thu vai am tängki. (Hadēs g86)
For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Nang naw xünnaka lam cun na, na mhnuh päng ni, atänga na, na vepüinak naw na jekyaisak khai” a ti.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'
29 “Ka püie, mi pupa üng ngming ngthangkia Davit sangpuxanga mawng cun angsinga ka ning jah mtheh khai ni. Ani cun thi se ami k’ut pänga kyaki, a lungdü pi tuh vei cäpa mi veia ve hamki.
"As to the patriarch David, I need hardly remind you, brethren, that he died and was buried, and that we still have his tomb among us.
30 Ani cun sahmaa kyase, ani naw Mhnama khyütam ksingki, Davita ngsawn üngka mat mat cun Davita kba sangpuxanga kya be khai tia Pamhnama khyütam cun ksingki.
Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,
31 Pamhnam naw ngawia i bi law khai ti cun Davit naw hmu lü, Mesijah a thawh be vaia mawng a pyennak üng, ‘Ani cun thihnak khawmdeka käh hawih khai, a pumsa pi ng'uhnaka käh thuei khai’ a ti. (Hadēs g86)
with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Acuna Jesuh cun Pamhnam naw thihnak üngkhyüh mtho be lü, mi van cun acuna saksia mi kyaki.
This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.
33 Ani cun a pa, Pamhnama khet da mhlünmtaia kyaki, a khyütama mäiha Ngmüimkhya Ngcim cun a pa veia yah lü, atuh nami hmu ngjaka a bänak cun mi khana a pha lawsaka kyaki.
"Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear.
34 Davit cun khankhawa am kai ham; acunsepi ani naw pyen lü, ‘Bawipa naw ka Bawipa veia: Ka khet lama ngawa,
For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
35 na yee cun na khawpha na mtainak vaia am ka jah tak hama küt üng” a ti.
until I make thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
36 “Acunakyase, Isarel khyange aw, nangmi naw kutlamtung üng taih u lü nami hnima Jesuh cän, Pamhnam naw Bawipa ja Mesijaha thawnsak päng ni ti cän angtea nami ksing vai” a ti.
"Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt that God has made Him both LORD and CHRIST--this Jesus whom you crucified."
37 Acun ngjakia khyange cun aktäa ami mlung cäicing se, Pita ja ngsä kceea veia, “Benae aw, i kami pawh khai?” ti u lü, kthähkie.
Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, "Brethren, what are we to do?"
38 Acunüng, Pita naw, “Ngjut ua, nami mkhyekat mhlätnak vaia Jesuh Khritawa ngming am Baptican khan ua; acunüng, Pamhnama Ngmüimkhya Ngcim nami yah khai.
"Repent," replied Peter, "and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, with a view to the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Pamhnama khyütam cun, nangmia phäh, nami caea phäh ja, akthuknaka vekiea Bawipa mi Pamhnam naw a veia a jah khü naküta phäha kyaki ni” a ti.
For to you belongs the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whoever the Lord our God may call."
40 Acuna thea, Pita naw ngthu khawha pyen lü, “Hina khyang ksee phäh law khaia mkhuimkhanak üngkhyüh ng’yungei ua” tia, a jah nghuinak.
And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, "Escape from this crooked generation."
41 Khyang khawhah naw ania ngthu pyen cun jum u lü Baptican khankie, acuna mhnüp üng khyang thawng kthum bang ngkhaw lawki he.
Those, therefore, who joyfully welcomed his Message were baptized; and on that one day about three thousand persons were added to them;
42 Acune cun, Ngsäe naw jah mthei u se, atänga ve u lü, atänga eiaw u lü, atänga ktaiyü lü vekie.
and they were constant in listening to the teaching of the Apostles and in their attendance at the Communion, that is, the Breaking of the Bread, and at prayer.
43 Ngsäe naw müncam phyaki he ja kyühkyawk phyaki he khawhah ja pawh u se, khyange cun cäi päihkie.
Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.
44 Jumeikie naküt cun mlungkaw mat am ve u lü ami khawhthem he pi yetca u lü summangkie.
And all the believers kept together, and had everything in common.
45 Amimi cun ami khawhthem he jah jawi u lü, ami yaha ngui cun hlükawki mat cim üng ami jah yet u.
They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.
46 Amimi cun amhnüp tä se Templea ngkhyum u lü, ami ima pi mlung nemnak ja jekyainak am atänga eiawki he.
And, day by day, attending constantly in the Temple with one accord, and breaking bread in private houses, they took their meals with great happiness and single-heartedness,
47 Pamhnam mküimto u lü, khyang naküta jenak vaia vekie. Acunüng Bawipa naw küikyannak yahkie cun amhnüp tä se jah mkhaw lü amimi cun a jah nungsak.
praising God and being regarded with favour by all the people. Also, day by day, the Lord added to their number those whom He was saving.
