Ngsäea Khut 5
1 Acunsepi, khyang mat Anani ngmingnaki, a khyu Saphira am veki xawi; Ani xawi naw khawhnün jawi lü,
But a certain man named Khananya, with Sapphira, his wife, sold a possession,
2 a khyua ksinga khawhnün phu avang thup lü, avang däk lawpüi lü Ngsäea khaw kunga a tak law.
and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and put it at the apostles' feet.
3 Acunsepi, Pita naw, “Anani aw, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim na mhlei na khai ja, khawhnün phu avang na mji khaia, ise khawyam naw na mlung üng bi a bi ni?
But Kipha said, "Khananya, why has Satana filled your heart to lie to the Rukha d'Qudsha, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Acuna khawhnün cun a ve ham üng na kaa am kyaki aw? Na jawih käna a phu haw na kaa am kya se aw? Ise hikba na ngaiki ni? Khyang na mhleiki am ni, Pamhnam na mhleiki” a ti.
While you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God."
5 Acunüng, Anani naw acuna ngthu a ngjak ja kyu lü thiki; acunüng, ksingkie naküt cun aktäa kyüheikie.
Khananya, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.
6 Acunüng, cawngpyange naw ngdüi law u lü, a yawk hlawp u lü kawtkie naw ami va k’ut.
The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 Acunkäna, naji kthum bang anghjawk ja, a khyu i am ksing lü, lut lawki.
About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Pita naw, “Na mtheha, khawhmün cun hihah däka aw nani jawi?” ti lü, a kthäh. Acunüng, ani naw, “Ä hihah däka ni” a ti.
Kipha answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much."
9 Acunüng, Pita naw, “Ise Bawipaa Ngmüimkhya cam khaia nani büki ni? Tenga, na cei k’utkiea khawleh mkawt peia veki, nang pi ni kawt hnga khaie” a ti.
But Kipha asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Rukha of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 Acun üng angxita, a khaw kunga kyu lü thi sawxatki; acunüng, cawngpyange lut lawki he naw thi se hmu u lü, kawt u lü a ceia peia ami k’ut hnga.
She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
11 Acunüng, sangcime avan ja acuna ngjakie naküt naw aktäa kyüheikie.
Great fear came on the whole church, and on all who heard these things.
12 Acunüng, khyangea ksunga Pamhnam naw, Ngsäea khyüh müncamkse ja cäicingnak phyaki he khawha, jah biki. Acunüng, ami cun ami ngkhä mlung mat ta u lü, Solamona mkawt ami tia, atänga nghmukie.
By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Shelemun's porch.
13 Khyang kce u pi ami veia am ngkhaw dat; acunsepi khyange naw aktäa jah mhlünmtaikie.
None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
14 Acunüng, Bawipa jumei law kthaikia nghnumie ja kpamie khawha cun ami veia ngkhaw lawki;
More believers were added to the Lord, crowds of both men and women.
15 Acunüng, Pita cit hü lü a hnge naw a jah hneh vaia am myakie cun lama jah kawt law u lü ihnake ja phakea khana ami jah takie.
They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Kipha came by at the least his shadow would fall on some of them.
16 Acunüng, Jerusalem mlüh pipeia kae am myakie, khawyai ksea jah venake cun jah law püi u lü lawki he; acune cun mya be päihkie.
Crowds also came together from the cities around Urishlim, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
17 Acunüng, ktaiyü ngvai säih ja a püie Sadukee law u lü ngsä he ami jah ng’eiha phäh ami khana bi vaia ngtängkie.
But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
18 Ngsä xawi jah man u lü thawngim üng ami jah khyum.
and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
19 Acunakyase mthana, Bawipa khankhawngsä mat naw thawng ksawhe jah mhmawng law lü akpung da jah cehpüiki naw,
But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
20 “Cit ni, temple k'uma ngdüi ni lü, khyangea veia xünnak kthaia mawng va pyen nia” a ti.
"Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
21 Acunüng, acuna ngthu ani ngjak ja, khaw thai law üng temple k'uma lut ni lü, jah va mtheimthangki xawi. Acunsepi, ktaiyü ngvai ja a püie law u lü, bawi ja, Judah ngvaie naküt cun kawngcia mkhäm lawki he naw, angsä xawi cun thawngim üngkhyüh ami ja lawpüi vaia thawngim da khyang ami ja tüih.
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the people of Israyel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Acunsepi, jung ngvaie ami pha law üng thawngima angsä xawi cun am jah hmu u; acunüng, nghlat law be u lü kawngci a ami jah va mtheh,
But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
23 “Thawngim cun üp yekia ngkhai se, mtätkie pi ksawh peia ngdüi u se kami jah hmuh; acunsepi, kami mhmawng üng, a k'uma u pi am ja hmuh ve üng” ti u lü, ami ja mtheh law.
"We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
24 Acunüng, temple mtätkie ja ktaiyü ngvaie naw acuna ngthu ami ngjak üng, hikba ngsä hea ve hin i a ngjo ni tia, aktäa cäicingkie.
Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
25 Acunüng, khyang mat law lü ami veia, “Teng u, thawngima khyang nami ja khyum xawi naw temple k'uma ngdüi ni lü khyange jah mtheimthang ve ni” a ti law.
One came and told them, "Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
26 Acunüng, temple ngvai cun ami khyange am va cit u lü, khyange naw lung am ami jah kawng vai kyüh u lü, angsä xawi cun akdawa ami jah lawpüi be u.
Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
27 Acunüng, ja pha lawpüikie naw, Kawngci ja ktaiyü ngvai säiha hmaia jah ngdüihsak lü ami jah kthäh.
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
28 “Ahina ngming am käh nani jah mthei ti vai, tia kami ning jah mtheh päng, ngthu nani ja mtheinak cun Jerusalem üng ngthang hüki, “nani pawh cun ngai nia” ti lü a jah pyen. Ania thinak hin keimi khana nani phaw lawsak vaia nani pawhki aw.
saying, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Urishlim with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
29 Acunsepi, Pita ja ngsä kcee naw, “Khyanga pyen kami ngaiha kthaka Pamhnama pyen ni kani ngai khawm.
But Kipha and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than people.
30 “Nangmi naw Jesuh kutlamktung üng taih u lü, nami hnim cän kami pupaea Pamhnam naw mtho be pängki ni.
The God of our fathers raised up Yeshua, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
31 “Ani cun Pamhnam naw khawngmang ja küikyankia ve khaia Isarele ami mkhyekatnak üngkhyüh ngjut be lü ja mhlät khaia a khet da mhlünmtaiki.
God exalted him with his right hand to be a Leader and a Savior, to give repentance to Israyel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Acuna saksia kani kyaki ni; Ngmüimkhya Ngcim, Pamhnam bänak cun ani kcangnakia phäh ni” a ti.
We are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Rukha d'Qudsha, whom God has given to those who obey him."
33 Acunüng, acuna ngthu kawngci vawne naw ami ngjak üng, ami mlungso law se, Ngsäe cun jah hnim law hlükie.
But they, when they heard this, were furious, and wanted to kill them.
34 Acunsepi, Kawngci üngka khyang, a ngming Kamaleilah naki, Phariseea thum ksingki, khyange naküt üng a ngming ngthangki cun ngdüi law lü angsä xawi cun ami jah khyah be vaia a jah mtheh.
But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.
35 Acunüng, Kawngcia veia, “Nangmi Isarel khyange aw, hin xawia khana nami pawh vaia nami bü cän cäi lü ngai ma ua.
He said to them, "You men of Israyel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
36 “Ahlana pi, Theuhdah naw, ‘Kei khyang sawxat am ni’ ti lü ve se; a veia khyang khawha, phyakphyü bang a veia ngdawn vaikie. Acunsepi ani cun hnim u se, a ngthu läkie naküt pi avan cencawn hü päih u lü, ia am kya bekie ni.
For before these days Todah rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.
37 “Ania ve käna, ngming yu u lü ami mkhäm k'um üng, Kalilea ka Judah naki ve law beki; a veia khyang khawhah citkie. Acunsepi, ani pi thi se, a hnu läkie avan khyük päihkie.
After this man, Yehudah of Galila rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
38 “Acunakyase, atuh ka ning jah mtheki, hina khyange käh ja pana u, ani büa ve u se; ani mkhyäp ja ani bilawh, khyanga pawh sawxata akya üng amdanga khyük be sawxat khai ni;
Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of human origin, it will be overthrown.
39 acunsepi, Pamhnama bilawha, akya üng, am jah näng thei uki; am acunüng, Pamhnam nami tukia ksaia nami kya khai ni” a ti.
But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even to be fighting against God."
40 Acunüng, acuna pyen cun ngaisim u lü, angsä xawi cun jah khükie naw ami jah kpai; ami ja kpai päng üng Jesuha ngming am ngthu käh sang hü be ti khai xawia ami ja khyah be.
They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Yeshua, and let them go.
41 Acunüng, Kawngci üngka naw cit be ni lü, acuna Jesuha phäh luthui hmaisetnak khamei khaia ani nglawia phäha, aktäa jekie.
They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
42 Acunüng, amhnüp tä se, temple ja khyangea ima, Jesuh Mesijah mawng cun jah mtheimthang lü sangkie.
Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Yeshua is the Meshikha.
