Caeltueih 11
1 Namtom rhoek loh Pathen kah olka a doe uh te Judea ah aka om caeltueih rhoek neh manuca rhoek loh a yaak uh.
Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 Tedae Peter loh Jerusalem la a caeh vaengah tah anih te yahvinrhetnah dongkah rhoek loh a boelhkhoeh uh.
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 “Pumdul la aka om hlang rhoek taengla na kun tih amih te na vael puei,” a ti nah.
saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4 Te dongah Peter loh amih taengah tuek tuek a saep pahoi tih,
But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
5 “Kai loh Joppa khopuei kah ka thangthui vaengah ka muei ka mang neh ka om tih mangthui ka hmuh. Te vaengah himbai len bangla kil pali aka om hno pakhat te vaan lamloh ha colh tih, kai taengla ha pawk.
“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 Te te ka hmaitang tih ka hmat hatah diklai rhamsa neh satlung khaw, rhulcai neh vaan kah vaa khaw ka hmuh.
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 Te phoeiah ol ka yaak bal tih, ‘Peter, thoo, ngawn lamtah ca,’ a ti.
I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
8 Tedae, ‘Moenih Boeipa, tanghnong tangaih neh rhalawt tah ka ka la a kun noek moenih,’ ka ti nah.
But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
9 Tedae vaan lamkah a pabae ol loh, ‘Pathen loh a ciim tangtae te nang loh poeih boeh,’ a ti.
But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
10 Te tlam te a om phoeikah a pathum dongah tah vaan la boeih a doek koep.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Te vaengah Kaisarea lamloh kai taengla han tueih hlang pathum tah ka om nah im ah pakcak ha pai uh pahoi.
Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 Mueihla long khaw kai taengah, ‘Boelhkhoeh kolla amih te puei laeh,’ a ti. Te dongah manuca parhuk he kamah neh kan lo puei tih hlang im khuila ka kun uh.
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 Anih long khaw a im ah a pai vaengah puencawn a hmuh tih, ‘Joppa ah hlang tueih lamtah Peter la a khue Simon te tah laeh.
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 Anih loh nang taengkah a thui ol dongah namah neh na imko boeih khaw khang la na om ni,’ a ti nah te kaimih taengah ha puen bal.
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
15 A cuek ca vaengkah mamih soah a tlak vanbangla thui hamla ka tong vaengah amih te Mueihla Cim loh a tlak thil coeng.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Te vaengah Boeipa kah ol, ‘Johan loh tui ah n'nuem. Tedae nangmih tah Mueihla Cim ah n'nuem ni,’ a ti te ka poek.
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 Te dongah mamih van bangla Boeipa Jesuh Khrih dongah aka tangnah tah Pathen loh amih te vanat la kutdoe a paek atah kai metlam ka om tih Pathen te ka kang thai eh,” a ti nah.
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 A yaak uh vaengah sap duem uh tih Pathen te a thangpom uh. Te dongah, “Hingnah ham yutnah te Pathen loh namtom taengah khaw a paek coeng,” a ti uh.
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 Phacip phabaem loh Stephen te a pai thil dongah amih khaw palang uh tih Phoiniki, Kupros neh Antiok la cet uh. Tedae Judah bueng pawt atah u taengah khaw ol thui uh pawh.
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 Te vaengah amih khuiah khaw Kuporos neh Kurena hlang rhoek khaw bet om van. Amih tah Antiok la cet uh tih Hellenist rhoek taengah khaw a thui uh vaengah Boeipa Jesuh ni a thui uh.
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 Amih te Boeipa kut loh a om puei dongah Boeipa taengla aka bal tih aka tangnah hlangmi long khaw ping uh.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Amih kawng te Jerusalem kah aka om hlangboel kah a hna ah olthang la a yaak uh. Te dongah Antiok la caeh ham Barnabas te a tueih uh.
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 a pha vaengah Pathen kah lungvatnah aka hmuh rhoek tah omngaih uh tih thinko mangtaengnah he Boeipa dongah rhaeh rhong ham boeih thaphoh uh thae.
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 te hlang then pakhat la om tih Mueihla Cim neh tangnah nen khaw baetawt. Te dongah hlangping loh Boeipa taengah muep tomthap la om.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25 Te phoeiah Saul tlap hamla Tarsus ah cet.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 A hmuh phoeiah Antiok la a khuen. A pha vaengah amih te kum khat puet hlangboel khuiah tingtun uh tih hlangping te yet te a thuituen. Te dongah hnukbang rhoek te Khrihca rhoek tila Antiok ah a khue lamhma cuek.
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 Te vaeng tue ah te tonghma rhoek tah Jerusalem lamkah Antiok la cet uh.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Te vaengah amih khuikah pakhat, a ming ah Agabus loh thoo tih lunglai pum ah om ham aka cai khokha tung te mueihla neh a phoe. Te te Klaudius tue vaengah thoeng coeng.
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 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek tah pakhat rhip loh amah kah a noeng bangla Judea kah manuca khosa rhoek taengah bomnah pat ham a hmoel uh.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 Te tlam te a saii phoeiah Barnabas neh Saul kut ah patong rhoek taengla a pat uh.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
