Caeltueih 3
1 Pako kah thangthuinah tue ah Peter neh Johan tah bawkim la cet rhoi.
Peter and John were on their way up to the Temple at the time of the afternoon prayer, around 3 p.m.
2 Te vaengah a manu bung khui lamloh aka khawn hlang pakhat te a khuen uh te om tih, bawkim khuila aka kun rhoek taengah doedannah bih sak ham sawtthen la a khue bawkim thohka ah hnin takuem a khueh uh.
A man who had been lame from birth was being carried there. Every day he was placed beside the Temple gate called “Beautiful” so he could beg from the people going into the Temple.
3 Anih loh doedannah dang hamla a bih te bawkim khuila kun ham a cai rhoi vaengah Peter neh Johan loh a hmuh.
He saw Peter and John as they were about to enter the Temple and asked them for some money.
4 Tedae anih te Peter neh Johan loh a hmaitang tih, “Kaimih rhoi he n'so lah,” a ti nah.
Peter looked right at him. John did, too. “Look at us!” Peter said.
5 Te dongah amih taengkah khat khat dang hamla a lamtawn tih amih te a laehdawn.
The lame man gave them his full attention, expecting to get something from them.
6 Te vaengah Peter loh, “Tangka neh sui khaw ka khueh moenih. Tedae nang kam paek ham te he ni ka khueh. Nazareth Jesuh Khrih ming neh thoo lamtah cet laeh,” a ti nah.
“I don't have any silver or gold,” Peter told him, “but I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!”
7 Te phoeiah bantang kut neh a tuuk tih anih te a thoh hatah a kho neh a khocin khaw pahoi caang.
Peter took him by the right hand and helped him up. Right away his feet and ankles became strong.
8 Te dongah cangpet tih, pai tih cet. Te phoeiah amih neh bawkim khuila kun tih a caeh doela soi tih Pathen a thangthen.
He jumped to his feet, and then began to walk. He went with them into the Temple, walking and jumping and praising God.
9 Cet tih Pathen a thangthen te pilnam pum loh a hmuh vaengah,
Everyone there saw him walking around and praising God.
10 anih te, bawkim kah sawtthen thohka ah doedannah lamtawn ham aka ngol ni tila a ming uh. Te dongah anih soah aka thoeng te ngaihmangnah neh mueimang bangla om uh.
They recognized him as the beggar who used to sit by the Temple's Beautiful Gate, and they were surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Te vaengah anih loh Peter neh Johan te a tuuk. Pilnam boeih loh Solomon impup la a khue kah amih taengah pawk ha capit uh.
He held on tightly to Peter and John while everyone ran to them by Solomon's Porch in complete astonishment at what had happened.
12 A hmuh vaengah Peter loh pilnam te, “Israel hlang rhoek, balae tih he dongah na ngai a hmanguh. Anih a caeh thai ham he amah thaomnah neh hingcimnah lamloh a saii bangla balae tih kaimih nan hmaitang uh.
When Peter saw this opportunity he told them, “People of Israel, why are you surprised at what's happened to this man? Why are you staring at us as if it was by our own power or faith that we made him walk?
13 Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen, Jakob Pathen, a pa rhoek kah Pathen loh, a ca Jesuh te a thangpom coeng. Anih te Pilat mikhmuh ah na voeih uh tih hlah hamla lai a tloek lalah na aal uh.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of our forefathers—has glorified his servant Jesus. He was the one you betrayed and rejected in the presence of Pilate, even after Pilate had decided to release him.
14 Tedae nangmih loh hlang cim hlang dueng te na hnawt uh tih hlang aka ngawn hlang vik te khodawkngai ham na bih uh.
You rejected the one who is holy and good, and demanded a murderer be released to you.
15 Te dongah hingnah a rhuihnun ni na ngawn uh. Tedae anih te Pathen loh duek khui lamkah a thoh coeng dongah a laipai la ka om uh.
You killed the author of life, the one God raised from the dead—and we are witnesses to this.
16 A ming neh tangnah dongah aka hoeih te na hmuh uh coeng. Te dongah a ming loh a hoeih sak te miing uh. Amah lamkah tangnah loh anih he nangmih boeih hmaiah hing soepnah a paek.
By trusting in Jesus' name this man was healed by him. You see this man here; you know him. Through trusting in Jesus this man has received complete healing right in front of all of you.
17 Tedae manuca rhoek, na boei rhoek bangla kotalhnah neh kho na boe bal te ka ming coeng.
Now I know, brothers and sisters, that you did this in ignorance, like your rulers.
18 Tedae Pathen loh tonghma boeih kah ka neh a thui taengtae amah kah Khrih a patang ham te ni aka soep tangloeng coeng.
But God fulfilled what he had prophesied through all the prophets: that his Messiah would suffer.
19 Te dongah yut uh lamtah ha mael uh laeh. Te daengah ni na tholhnah te hang huih eh.
Now repent, and change your ways, that your sins can be wiped away, so the Lord can send opportunities for you to heal and recover,
20 Boeipa mikhmuh kah caihnah tue loh ha pai van saeh tila Khrih Jesuh te nangmih ham a coelh tih han tueih coeng.
and send Jesus, the Messiah appointed for you.
21 Khosuen lamloh a tonghma rhoek, hlangcim rhoek kah a ka dongah Pathen loh a thui boeih te hlinsainah tue a pha duela vaan loh anih a doe ham a kuek. (aiōn g165)
For he must stay in heaven until the time when everything is restored, as God announced through his holy prophets long ago. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses long khaw, “Kai bang tonghma te Boeipa na Pathen loh na manuca khui lamkah nangmih ham a phoe sak bitni. Anih loh nangmih taengah a thui atah a thui te tah a pum la hnatun uh.
Moses said, ‘The Lord God will send you a prophet from among your own people who is like me. You must listen to everything he tells you.
23 Ana om saeh, te tonghma ol aka ya pawh hinglu boeih te tah pilnam lamloh a thup ni,” a ti.
Anybody who doesn't listen to him will be totally removed from the people.’
24 Te dongah Samuel lamloh tonghma rhoek boeih neh a hnukthoi boeih long khaw a thui tih tihnin ah a doek uh.
All the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel on, prophesied about these days.
25 Nangmih tah tonghma rhoek neh paipi kah a ca rhoek la na om uh. Te te Pathen loh na pa rhoek taengah a hal coeng. Te dongah Abraham te, “Na tiingan dongah, diklai nurhui parhui boeih te a yoethen ni,” a ti nah.
You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers when he said to Abraham, ‘From your descendants all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
26 Na halangnah te rhip na mael tak tih nangmih yoethen sak ham ni Pathen loh a ca te nangmih taengah lamhma la han tueih tih a thoh sak,” a ti nah.
God prepared his Servant and sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your evil ways.”
