Caeltueih 2
1 Pentekos hnin a pha vaengah pakhat la tun boeih om uh.
At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;
2 Te vaengah vaan lamkah olhum tah khohli puei aka hli bangla tarha om tih aka ngol rhoek a om nah im te khuk bae.
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 Te vaengah amih taengah hmai bangla thoeng a lai long khaw phik uh tih amih pakhat rhip soah a ngol thil.
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 Te vengah Mueihla Cim neh boeih bae uh tih Mueihla loh amih taengah thui ham a paek vanbangla ol tloe neh koe cal uh.
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 Te vaengah Jerusalem kah khosa Judah rhoek, vaan hmui neh namtom boeih khuikah aka cuep hlang rhoek khaw om uh.
Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every part of the world.
6 Tekah ol a om vaengah amih kah a thui te pakhat rhip loh amah ol la a yaak uh dongah rhaengpuei loh tingtun tih puen uh.
So when this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.
7 Limlum uh tih a ngaihmang uh dongah, “Hekah aka om boeih he Galilee ol la aka cal rhoek moenih a he?
They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, "Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?
8 Balae tih mamih loh n'thaang nah kah m'mah ol la rhip n'yaak uh.
How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them?
9 Parthian, Mede neh Elamite khaw, Mesopotamia kah khosa rhoek khaw, Judea neh Kappadokia khaw, Pontus neh Asia khaw,
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 Phrygia neh Pamphylia khaw, Egypt neh Lybia pingpang Kurene ben khaw, Roman laiom khaw,
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 Judah rhoek neh poehlip rhoek long khaw, Krete neh Arab rhoek long kaw a thui te mah ol n'yaak uh tih, Pathen tah lenduet pai,” a ti uh.
Yet we all alike hear these Galilaeans speaking in our own language about the wonderful things which God has done."
12 Hlang boeih loh limlum uh tih hit uh. Pakhat loh pakhat taengah, “Balae a ngaih tih he tlam he a om,” a ti uh.
They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another, "What can this mean?"
13 Tedae a tloe rhoek loh a nueih thil uh tih, “Didip tui aka rhuihmil rhoek ni,” a ti uh.
But others, scornfully jeering, said, "They are brim-full of sweet wine."
14 Tedae Peter neh hlaikhat loh a pai doeah a ol a huel tih amih te, “Judah hlang rhoek neh Jerusalem kah khosa boeih, he tah nangmih loh na hmat uh hamla om saeh lamtah ka olthui mah hna kaenguh.
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 Na ngaihoih uh bangla he rhoek tah a rhui uh moenih. Khothaih khonoek pataeng pathum ni a. lo pueng.
For this is not intoxication, as you suppose, it being only the third hour of the day.
16 Tedae hekah he tah tonghma Joel lamloh a thui te ni.
But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:
17 “Khohnin hnukkhueng dongla a om vaengah, Pathen loh, 'Pumsa boeih te ka Mueihla ka lun thil vetih, na canu na capa rhoek loh ol a phong uh ni. Na cadong rhoek loh mikhlam a hmuh uh ni. Nangmih kah patong rhoek loh mang a man uh ni.
"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 Tekah khohnin ah Ka sal rhoek so neh ka salnu rhoek soah khaw ka Mueihla ka lun vetih ol a phong uh ni.
and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 Vaan so ah khobae rhambae, diklai hmui ah miknoek te thii, hmai, tuihu hmaikhu neh ka paek ni.
I will display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
20 Boeipa kah a len neh mingom khohnin ha pawk tomah tah khomik loh yinnah la, hla khaw thii la poeh ni.
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 Te vaengah ana om bitni, Boeipa ming aka phoei boeih te tah daem ni.
and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
22 Israel hlang rhoek, ol he hnatun uh. Nazareth Jesuh, nangmih taengah Pathen loh han tai hlang te, na ming uh bangla anih lamkah ni thaomnah, khobae rhambae neh miknoek khaw Pathen loh nangmih lakli ah a saii.
"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 Pathen kah mangtaengnah neh mingnah loh a hoep anih te lailak kut loh han tloeng dongah na tai uh tih na ngawn uh.
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 Tedae dueknah loh anih a pin ham tah a coeng koi la a om pawt dongah dueknah bungtloh te a hlam pah tih Pathen loh amah te a thoh.
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 Anih te David long khaw a thui tih, “Boeipa te ka hmaiah vawp vawp ka hmaitang yoeyah tih ka bantang ah a om dongah ka hinghoek mahpawh.
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 Te dongah ka thinko loh a uum tih ka ol loh hlampan. Ka pum long khaw ngaiuepnah dongah kho a sak bal pueng ni.
For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope.
27 Ka hinglu he saelkhui ah na phap sut pawt tih na hlangcim te pocinah tong sak ham na paek moenih. (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 Hingnah longpuei te kai nan tueng tih, na mikhmuh ah omngaihnah neh kai nan baetawt sak.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'
29 Manuca rhoek, ka hlang rhoek aw, patuel David kawng he nangmih taengah sayalh la thui ham m'pae mai. Anih te duek coeng tih a up bal coeng dae a phuel tah tihnin duela mamih taengah om.
"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 Te dongah tonghma la aka om long khaw Pathen loh a pumpu kah a thaih khui lamkah a ngolkhoel dongah ngol sak ham a taengah olhlo neh a toemngam te khaw a ming.
Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon his throne,
31 Anih te saelkhui ah phap sut pawt ham neh a pumsa loh pocinah tong pawt ham khaw Khrih kah thohkoepnah kawng te a hmaitang tih a thui coeng. (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 Pathen loh Jesuh a thoh dongah mamih boeih he laipai la n'om uh.
This Jesus, God has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.
33 Te vaengah Pathen kah bantang ah a pomsang. Mueihla Cim kah olkhueh, na hmuh uh tih na yaak uh te pa taeng lamloh han lun tih, na dang uh.
"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 Te dongah David loh vaan la cet hlan dae anih te a voek vaengah,
For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
35 Boeipa loh, “Ka Boeipa aw, na rhal te na kho ham khotloeng la ka khueh hlan atah, kai kah bantang ah ngol dae,” a ti nah.
until I make thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
36 Te dongah Israel imkhui boeih loh Boeipa amah neh Pathen loh a khueh Khrih khaw rhep ming saeh. Jesuh amah he ni na tai uh,” 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 A yaak uh vaengah thinko a thun pah tih Peter neh a tloe caeltueih rhoek taengah, “Ka manuca rhoek, ka hlang rhoek, balae ka saii uh eh,” a ti uh.
Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, "Brethren, what are we to do?"
38 Tedae Peter loh amih taengah, “Yut uh lamtah na tholh khodawkngainah ham nangmih khat rhip loh Jesuh Khrih ming dongah nuem uh lah. Te daengah ni Cim Mueihla kah kutdoe te na dang uh eh.
"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 Mamih kah Boeipa Pathen loh a khue boeiloeih atah na ca rhoek ham khaw, khohla kah rhoek boeih ham khaw nangmih taengah olkhueh om coeng,”a ti nah.
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 Ol tloe nen khaw muep a uen tih amih a hloep vaengah, “Vilvak cadil khui lamkah he daem uh laeh,” a ti nah.
And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, "Escape from this crooked generation."
41 A ol aka dueh rhoek ngawn tah a nuem. Te dongah hnin at dongah hinglu thawngthum tluk thap uh thae.
Those, therefore, who joyfully welcomed his Message were baptized; and on that one day about three thousand persons were added to them;
42 A om uh vaengah caeltueih rhoek kah thuituennah neh rhoinaengnah, vaidam aehnah neh thangthuinah te a khuituk uh.
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 Rhihnah loh hinglu boeih taengah cuen tih caeltueih loh khobae rhambae neh miknoek khaw muep a saii uh.
Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.
44 Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih loh thikat la om uh tih tun boeih cut uh thae.
And all the believers kept together, and had everything in common.
45 Hnopai neh khuehtawn a yoih uh vaengah khaw khat rhip loh a ngoe atah rhip a tael uh.
They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.
46 Hnin takuem bawkim te huek a khuituk uh. Im lamkah vaidam te khaw a tael uh. Kohoenah neh thinko lunghoih la buh a doe uh.
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 Pathen a thangthen uh long te pilnam boeih taengah lungvatnah a dang uh bal. Khang la aka om rhoek te khaw a taengla hnin takuem Boeipa loh a thap.
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.
