Caeltueih 4
1 Pilnam ham a thui uh vaengah khosoih rhoek, bawkim kah imtawt boei neh Sadducee rhoek loh amih te a paan uh.
And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees —
2 Pilnam a thuituen tih duek lamloh thohkoepnah te Jesuh rhangneh a doek dongah a yakdam uh.
being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead —
3 Te dongah amih rhoi te kut a hlah thil uh tih a vuen duela thongim ah a khueh uh. Te vaengah hlaemhmah la om coeng.
and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already;
4 Tedae ol aka hnatun rhoek a yet ngai long tah a tangnah uh dongah hlang he hlangmi la thawng nga tluk lo uh.
and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
5 A vuen a pha vaengah a boei rhoek, patong rhoek neh cadaek rhoek te Jerusalem ah tingtun uh.
And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,
6 Te vaengah khosoihham Annas neh Kaiaphas, Johan, Alexander neh namtom khuikah khosoihpuei khaw boeih om uh.
and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest,
7 Amih rhoi te a laklung ah a pai sak uh tih, “Mebang thaomnah, u ming nen lae he he na saii rhoi, “tila a cae uh.
and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, 'In what power, or in what name did ye do this?'
8 Peter tah mueihla cim neh a bae dongah amih te, “Pilnam kah boei rhoek neh patong rhoek,
Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 Tattloel hlang pakhat sokah bibi then kongah tihnin ah boelh la ka om rhoi atah, ba nen lae anih a hoeih.
if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,
10 Nazareth Jesuh Khrih ming nen ni tila nangmih boeih neh Israel pilnam boeih loh hmat la om saeh. Anih te na tai uh dae a Pathen loh duek khui lamkah a thoh coeng. Anih rhangnen ni he hlangtlo loh nangmih hmaiah sading la a pai.
be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.
11 Amah tah nangmih imsa rhoek loh a hnaelcoe lungto la om dae imkil kah tlungyun la poeh coeng.
'This is the stone that was set at nought by you — the builders, that became head of a corner;
12 Te dongah khangnah long he a tloe mebang dongah khaw a om moenih. Mamih aka khang ham a kuek tih vaan hmuikah hlang lakliah a paek he ming tloe a om moenih,” a ti nah.
and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'
13 Te vaengah Peter neh Johan kah a sayalh te a hmuh uh tih caa aka ming mueh hlang neh hlangthawt ni tite a hmuhming uh. Te phoeiah amih rhoi te Jesuh taengah om rhoi ti khaw a ming uh tih a ngai hmanguh.
And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been —
14 Aka hoeih tih amih rhoi taengah aka pai hlang te khaw a hmuh uh dongah oelh ham khaw om voel pawh.
and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
15 Te dongah amih rhoi te khoboei im kah poengla caeh ham ol a paek uh.
and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another,
16 Khat neh khat a nuemnai uh tih, “Hekah hlang rhoi he metlam n'saii uh eh. Amih rhoi pum dongah miknoek loh a poekhloep la tueng coeng tih Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek boeih ham khaw rhep a mingpha coeng dongah hnawt ham a coeng moenih.
saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] manifest, and we are not able to deny [it];
17 Tedae pilnam taengla yilh a caeh voel pawt ham, a ming neh hlang pakhat taengah khaw thui pawt ham mah amih he hihham uh sih,” a ti uh.
but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.'
18 Te dongah amih rhoi te a khue uh tih Jesuh ming dongah thuituen pawt ham neh thui loengloeng pawt ham a uen uh.
And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus,
19 Tedae amih te Peter neh Johan loh a doo tih, “Pathen ol lakah nangmih ol hnatun lat ham Pathen hmaiah a thuem atah namamih loh laitloek uh nawn.
and Peter and John answering unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;
20 Ka hmuh neh ka yaak uh te ka thui pawt koinih a coeng moenih,” a ti nah.
for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'
21 Amih te metla a cawh ham khaw a hmuh uh pawt dongah a hihham uh tih a tueih uh. Tekah aka thoeng hno kongah pilnam pum loh Pathen te a thangpom uh.
And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,
22 Hoeihnah miknoek loh a thoeng thil hlang te tah a kum sawmli hlai a lo coeng dongah ni.
for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.
23 A loeih phoeiah amah rhoek taengla pawk rhoi tih khosoihham rhoek neh patong rhoek loh a thui boeih te amih taengah puen rhoi.
And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto them,
24 A yaak uh vaengah Pathen taengah ol huek a huel uh tih, “Boeikung, namah loh vaan neh diklai, tuitunli neh a khuikah boeih na saii.
and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou [art] God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,
25 A pa rhoek kah Pathen loh na tueihyoeih David kah a ka dongah Mueihla Cim neh, 'Balae tih namtom rhoek loh a sundaep uh tih pilnam loh a tlongtlaih la a mangtuk uh.
who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
26 Diklai manghai rhoek neh boei rhoek tah amamih te tingtun uh tih BOEIPA neh a Khrih te a pai thil uh,” a ti.
the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;
27 Te dongah ni na koelh tangtae Jesuh, na taengom cim te Herod neh Pontius Pilat, namtom neh Israel pilnam loh, oltak la khopuei khuiah a tingtun thil uh.
for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,
28 Na kut loh a saii tih aka thoeng ham koi boeih te na mangtaengnah loh a nuen coeng.
to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.
29 Te dongah aw Boeipa, amih te hihhamnah he so lamtah na ol aka thui ham na sal rhoek te sayalh la boeih khueh laeh.
'And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,
30 Hoeihnah ham na kut na yueng li vaengah na tueihyoeih cim Jesuh ming dongah miknoek neh khobae rhambae khaw thoeng coeng,” a ti uh.
in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'
31 A thangthui uh dongah tun a om nah hmuen khaw hinghoek uh tih Cim Mueihla neh boeih baetawt uh. Te dongah sayalh la Pathen kah ol khaw a thui uh.
And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
32 Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek khuikah rhaengpuei tah thinko hinglu pakhat la a khueh uh. A khuehtawn te amah bueng ham ni aka ti u pakhat khaw om pawh. Tedae a cungkuem te amih ham tun om coeng.
and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.
33 Boeipa Jesuh thohkoepnah te caeltueih rhoek loh a laipai neh thaomnah a len la a thuung uh vaengah amih boeih soah khaw lungvatnah muep om.
And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all,
34 Im kung lo kung la aka om boeih loh a im a lo a yoih uh.
for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
35 a yoih phu te caeltueih rhoek kah kho kung la a khuen uh tih a tloeng uh. Te phoeiah hlang boeih loh a ngoe tarhing ah rhip a tael uh dongah amih khuikah aka om boeih loh daeng voel pawh.
and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need.
36 Te vaengah caeltueih rhoek loh Barnabas Te tah thaphohnah capa ni a thuingaih la a khue, Kuporos kah Levi hoel Joseph loh,
And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas — which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort — a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
37 a lo khueh te a yoih vaengah tangka a khuen tih caeltueih rhoek kah kho kung ah a tloeng.
a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
