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.

Now the apostles and brethren that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had 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 was come up to Jerusalem, those that were of the circumcision contended with him, saying,

3 “Pumdul la aka om hlang rhoek taengla na kun tih amih te na vael puei,” a ti nah.

Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and didst eat with them.

4 Te dongah Peter loh amih taengah tuek tuek a saep pahoi tih,

But Peter began and laid the matter in order before them,

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.

saying, I was praying in the city of Joppa; and in a trance I saw a vision, some thing like a large sheet descending from heaven, let down by the four corners; and it came close to me.

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

And looking stedfastly upon it, I observed four-footed creatures and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air.

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

And I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.

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

But I said, By no means, Lord: for nothing polluted or unclean hath ever 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 the voice answered me a second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed do not thou call polluted.

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

And this was done thrice: and then they were all drawn up again 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 at that very time there came three men to the house where I was, sent from Cesarea 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 ordered me to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren also came with me, and we entred into the man's house;

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.

and he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and fetch hither Simon,

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.

whose sirname is Peter, who will tell thee things, by which thou shalt be saved and all thy family.

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 when I began to speak, the holy Spirit fell on them, even as it did upon us at 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.

Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with 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.

As therefore God gave to them the like gift that He did to us, upon our believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I should be 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 when they heard these things they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God given to the Gentiles also repentance unto life.

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.

Now they that were dispersed by the trouble, which arose about Stephen, travelled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but the 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.

But some of them were Cyprians, and Cyrenians, who when they came to Antioch, discoursed with the Grecians also, preaching 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, and a great number believed, and turned unto 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 report of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem; and they sent Barnabas 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, when he was come, and saw the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted them all with steadiness of heart to adhere 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.

For he was a good man, and full of the holy Spirit, and of faith: and many were added unto the Lord.

25 Te phoeiah Saul tlap hamla Tarsus ah cet.

Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek Saul: and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch.

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 they assembled in the church a whole year, and taught much people: and the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

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

And in these days came down prophets from Jerusalem 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, named Agabus, stood up and signified by the Spirit, that there would be a great famine over all the earth: which accordingly came to pass in the reign of Claudius Cesar.

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 each of the disciples, according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea.

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

Which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
