Caeltueih 3
1 Pako kah thangthuinah tue ah Peter neh Johan tah bawkim la cet rhoi.
One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then,
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.
some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they went in.
3 Anih loh doedannah dang hamla a bih te bawkim khuila kun ham a cai rhoi vaengah Peter neh Johan loh a hmuh.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.
4 Tedae anih te Peter neh Johan loh a hmaitang tih, “Kaimih rhoi he n'so lah,” a ti nah.
Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."
5 Te dongah amih taengkah khat khat dang hamla a lamtawn tih amih te a laehdawn.
So he looked and waited, expecting to receive 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 have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"
7 Te phoeiah bantang kut neh a tuuk tih anih te a thoh hatah a kho neh a khocin khaw pahoi caang.
Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
8 Te dongah cangpet tih, pai tih cet. Te phoeiah amih neh bawkim khuila kun tih a caeh doela soi tih Pathen a thangthen.
Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Cet tih Pathen a thangthen te pilnam pum loh a hmuh vaengah,
All the people saw him walking 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.
and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement 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.
While he still clung to Peter and John, the people, awe-struck, ran up crowding round them in what was known as Solomon's Portico.
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.
Peter, seeing this, spoke to the people. "Israelites," he said, "why do you wonder at this man? Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him to 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 conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.
14 Tedae nangmih loh hlang cim hlang dueng te na hnawt uh tih hlang aka ngawn hlang vik te khodawkngai ham na bih uh.
Yes, you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favour the release of a murderer.
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.
The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.
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.
It is His name-- faith in that name being the condition--which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.
17 Tedae manuca rhoek, na boei rhoek bangla kotalhnah neh kho na boe bal te ka ming coeng.
"And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.
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 in this way God has fulfilled the declarations He made through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.
19 Te dongah yut uh lamtah ha mael uh laeh. Te daengah ni na tholhnah te hang huih eh.
Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,
20 Boeipa mikhmuh kah caihnah tue loh ha pai van saeh tila Khrih Jesuh te nangmih ham a coelh tih han tueih coeng.
and that He may send the Christ appointed beforehand for you--even Jesus.
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)
Heaven must receive Him until those times of which God has spoken from the earliest ages through the lips of His holy Prophets--the times of the reconstitution of all things. (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 declared, "'The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brethren as He has raised me. In all that He says to you, you must listen to Him.
23 Ana om saeh, te tonghma ol aka ya pawh hinglu boeih te tah pilnam lamloh a thup ni,” a ti.
And every one, without exception, who refuses to listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the People.'
24 Te dongah Samuel lamloh tonghma rhoek boeih neh a hnukthoi boeih long khaw a thui tih tihnin ah a doek uh.
Yes, and all the Prophets, from Samuel onwards--all who have spoken--have also announced the coming of this present time.
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 heirs of the Prophets, and of the Covenant which God made with your forefathers when He said to Abraham, 'And through your posterity all the families of the world shall 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.
It is to you first that God, after raising His Servant from the grave, has sent Him to bless you, by causing every one of you to turn from your wickedness."
