Toksahkungnawk 11
1 Patoeh ih kaminawk hoi Judea prae thungah kaom nawkamyanawk loe Gentelnawk mah doeh Sithaw lok talawk o toeng boeh, tiah thaih o.
Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 Piter Jerusalem ah caeh naah, tangzat hin aat kaminawk mah anih khaeah,
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 Tangzat hin aat ai kaminawk khaeah na caeh moe, nihcae hoi nawnto buh na caak, tiah naa o; to pongah anih to palungphui o thuih.
saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4 Toe Piter mah to hmuen kawng to amtonghaih hoi boeng khoek to nihcae khaeah kamnoek ah a thuih pae.
But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
5 Kai loe Joppa vangpui ah ka oh moe, lawk ka thuih, to naah hmuen hnuksakhaih maeto ka hnuk: kalen pui kahni baktiah kaom takii palito kaom hmuen maeto van bang hoiah kai khaeah krak tathuk:
“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 to tiah kaom hmuen to ka khet naah, long nuiah kaom akhok palito kaom moinawk, moisannawk, long ah kavak hmuennawk hoi van ah kazawk tavaanawk to ka hnuk.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
7 To naah lok maeto ka thaih, to lok mah kai khaeah, Piter, angthawk ah, bop loe caa ah, tiah ang naa.
I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
8 Toe kai mah, Angraeng, angcoeng thai ai: caak vai ai ih hmuen, to tih ai boeh loe ciimcai ai hmuen roe ka pakha thungah akun vai ai vop, tiah ka naa.
But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
9 Toe van bang ih lok mah, Sithaw mah ciimcaisak tangcae hmuen to, nang mah caak vai ai ih hmuen, tiah thuih han om ai, tiah ang naa.
But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
10 To tiah vaithumto oh pacoengah, to hmuennawk to van bangah lak tahang let.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Khenah, to nathuem ah Caesarea vangpui hoiah kai khaeah patoeh ih kami long thumtonawk loe ka ohhaih im ah phak o boeh.
Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 To pacoengah Kacai Muithla mah palunghaenghaih om ai ah, nihcae hoi nawnto caeh hanah ang thuih. Hae ih nawkamya taruktonawk doeh kai hoi nawnto caeh o toeng, to tiah kami maeto ih im ah ka kun o:
The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
13 to kami mah, Angmah im ah kangdoe van kami to a hnuk, van kami mah anih khaeah, Piter, tiah ahmin kaom Simon to kawk hanah, Joppa vangpui ah kami patoeh ah, tiah a thuih pae;
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
14 nangmah hoi nangmah imthung takoh boih pahlonghaih na hnuk o hanah, anih mah nang hanah loknawk na thui pae tih, tiah ang naa, tiah kaicae khaeah ang thuih.
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
15 Lokthuih kam tong naah, tangsuek naah aicae khaeah krak baktih toengah, nihcae nuiah Kacai Muithla to krak toeng.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 To naah Angraeng mah, Johan mah loe tui hoiah ni tuinuemhaih to paek, toe nangcae mah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah tuinuenhaih to na paek o tih, tiah thuih ih lok to ka panoek let.
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
17 Aicae mah Angraeng Jesu Kri a tang o naah, Sithaw mah aicae khaeah paek ih tangqum baktih toengah, nihcae han doeh paek nahaeloe, kai mah kawbangah maw, Sithaw ih lok to ka aek thai tih? tiah a naa.
If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
18 To lok to a thaih o naah, nihcae loe anghngai o duem moe, Sithaw to saphaw o: to tiah nahaeloe Sithaw mah Gentelnawk han doeh hinghaih hnuk o hanah, dawnpakhuemhaih to paek boeh, tiah a thuih o.
When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
19 Stephen pongah pacaekthlaekhaih tongh pacoengah, ahmuen kruekah amhet kaminawk loe Phonicia, Cyprus hoi Antiok vangpui khoek to phak o, nihcae loe Judah kaminawk khae khue ah tamthanglok to thuih o.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 Nihcae thungah Cyprus, Cyrene hoiah angzo thoemto kaminawk loe Antiok vangpui ah caeh o moe, Grik kaminawk khaeah Angraeng Jesu ih tamthanglok to thuih o.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 Angraeng ih ban nihcae nuiah oh pongah, paroeai kaminawk mah tang o moe, Angraeng khaeah angqoi o.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 To tamthang to Jerusalem ah kaom kricanawk mah thaih o: to naah nihcae mah Barnabas to Antiok vangpui ah patoeh o.
The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
23 Anih to vangpui ah phak moe, Sithaw tahmenhaih to hnuk naah anghoehaih a tawnh; nihcae mah palungthin tang hoi kacakah Angraeng ah oh o poe thai hanah, nihcae boih khaeah thapaekhaih lok to a thuih pae.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
24 Anih loe kahoih kami ah oh, Kacai Muithla hoi tanghaih hoiah koi kami ah oh: paroeai kaminawk loe Angraeng khaeah angqoi o.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25 To pacoengah Barnabas loe Saul to pakrong hanah, Tarsa vangpui ah caeh:
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 Saul to a hnuk naah, anih to Antiok vangpui ah a hoih. Nihnik loe saningto thung kricanawk hoi nawnto angkom o moe, paroeai kaminawk to patuk hoi. Antiok vangpui ah kaom hnukbang kaminawk to Kricaa, tiah kawk o hmaloe.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 To nathuem ah tahmaanawk loe Jerusalem hoiah Antiok vangpui ah caeh o.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Nihcae thung ih Agaba, tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto loe angthawk moe, Muithla panoeksakhaih rang hoiah long pum ah takaang thohhaih om tih, tiah taphong: to takaang thohhaih loe Klaudia Caesar ukhaih atue thungah oh)
One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 To pongah hnukbang kaminawk loe angmacae sak thaih thung Judea prae thungah kaom nawkamyanawk khaeah abomhaih paek hanah lokkhaeh o:
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 to tiah a sak o pacoengah kacoehtanawk khaeah paek hanah, abomhaih tangqum to Barnaba hoi Saul ban ah paek o.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
