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.

And the apostles and the brothers who are in Judea heard that the nations 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.

and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of circumcision were contending 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,

And Peter having begun, set [it] forth 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 I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of Heaven, and it came to me;

6 Te te ka hmaitang tih ka hmat hatah diklai rhamsa neh satlung khaw, rhulcai neh vaan kah vaa khaw ka hmuh.

at which having looked steadfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky;

7 Te phoeiah ol ka yaak bal tih, 'Peter, thoo, ngawn lamtah ca,’a ti.

and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;

8 Tedae, 'Moenih boeipa, tanghnong tangaih neh rhalawt tah ka ka la a kun noek moenih,’ ka ti nah.

and I said, Not so, Lord, because anything common or unclean has at no time entered into my mouth;

9 Tedae vaan lamkah a pabae ol loh, 'Pathen loh a ciim tangtae te nang loh poeih boeh,’ a ti.

and a voice answered me a second time out of Heaven, What God cleansed, you do not declare common.

10 Te tlam te a om phoeikah a pathum dongah tah vaan la boeih a doek koep.

And this happened three times, and again was all drawn up to Heaven,

11 Te vaengah Kaiserea lamloh kai taengla han tueih hlang pathum tah ka om nah im ah pakcak ha pai uh pahoi.

and behold, immediately, three men stood at the house in which 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.

and the Spirit said to me to go with them, doubting nothing, and these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the house of the man,

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 also declared to us how he saw the messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed 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 sayings 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.

And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as also on us in 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.

and I remembered the saying of the LORD, how He said, John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed 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.

if then God gave to them the equal gift as also to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to 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.

And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, “Then, indeed, God also gave conversion to life to the nations.”

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.

Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none 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.

and there were certain of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming good news—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.

and the hand of the LORD was with them, a great number also, having believed, 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.

And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through to 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, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave 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.

because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the LORD.

25 Te phoeiah Saul tlap hamla Tarsus ah cet.

And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek 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.

and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they assembled together a whole year in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

27 Te vaeng tue ah te tonghma rhoek tah Jerusalem lamkah Antiok la cet uh.

And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets 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.

and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, signified through the Spirit a great scarcity is about to be throughout all the world—which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar—

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.

and the disciples, according as anyone was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministry to the brothers dwelling in Judea,

30 Te tlam te a saii phoeiah Barnabas neh Sual kut ah patong rhoek taengla a pat uh.

which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
