But Saul (the man is also Paul) having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having gazed on him,
10 “Tuengkhuepnah cungkuem, omthae cungkuem neh aka baetawt tih duengnah boeih kah a rhal rhaithae capa aw Boeipa kah longpuei dueng na maelh te toeng boeh ne.
said, O man full of all deceit and all recklessness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease distorting the straight ways of the Lord?

And having removed him, he raised up David for a king to them, also about whom he said, when he testified, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who will do all my purposes.
23 A olkhueh bangla anih kah tiingan te ni Pathen loh Israel ham khangkung Jesuh la a poe sak.
From this man's seed according to promise, God brought salvation to Israel,

And when they completed all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb.

But God raised him from the dead,
31 Anih te Galilee lamkah Jerusalem la aka luei rhoek taengah khohnin te yet khuiah a phoe pah coeng. Amih tah pilnam taengah boeipa kah laipai la om uh coeng.
who was seen for more days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are witnesses of him to the people.
32 A pa rhoek taengah aka thoeng olkhueh te ni nangmih taengah ka phong uh van.
And we proclaim good news to you: the promise to the fathers, which happened because God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus,
33 Te te Pathen loh Jesuh a thoh sak dongah, tingtoeng lung dongkah a daek pabae vanbangla; Nang tah ka ca la na om. Tihnin ah kai loh nang kan sak coeng,” a ti te a ca rhoek mamih taengah soep coeng.

And because he raised him from the dead, no longer going to return to decay, he has spoken this way: I will give to you the faithful holy things of David.
35 Hmuen tloe ah khaw, “Na hlangcim te pocinah tong sak ham na paek moenih,” a ti tangloeng.
Therefore also he says in another, Thou will not give thy Holy Man to see decay.
36 Amah tuetang vaengah David loh Pathen kah mangtaengnah te a bi. A ih vaengah a napa rhoek taengla khoem uh tih pocinah a tong.
For indeed David, who served his own generation in the plan of God, became asleep, and was added near his fathers, and saw decay.
37 Tedae Pathen loh a thoh te tah pocinah tong pawh.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
38 Ka hlang rhoek neh ka manuca rhoek, nangmih taengah khaw mingpha la om saeh. Anih rhang neh nangmih taengah tholh khodawkngainah khaw, Moses kah olkhueng dongah na tang uh thai pawt boeih te a doek tangloeng coeng.

Watch therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets should come upon you:

Behold, ye scoffers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, which ye would, no, not believe, if some man should fully narrate it to you.
42 A bal uh vaengah tahae kah olka he a laklo kah Sabbath vaengah amih taengah thui sak ham caeltueih rhoek te a cael uh.
And as they went out from the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles urged that these sayings be spoken to them the next sabbath.
43 Tunim kah aka phih uh Judah rhoek neh poehlip aka bawk rhoek loh Paul neh Barnabas te muep a vai uh. Te dongah amih te a uen tih Pathen kah lungvatnah khuiah rhaeh rhong ham a koilaw uh.
Now after the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, while conversing, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Sabbath a pha bal vaengah vang pum banghui loh Boeipa olka hnatun ham tingtun uh.
And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was assembled to hear the word of God.
45 Hlangping te Judah rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah kohlopnah neh muep hah uh. Te dongah Paul kah a thui te a tloelh uh tih a soehsal uh.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled of envy, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and slandering.
46 Te vaengah Paul neh Barnabas loh sayalh la, “Pathen kah olka te thui lamhma ham nangmih taengah om tangkik. Te te na tueihno uh parhi vaengah dungyan hingnah kah amih lai na tloek khaw na tiing uh moenih. Namtom taengla ka mael uh coeng ne. (aiōnios g166)
But having spoken boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you, but since ye thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Te dongah Boeipa loh, 'Namtom rhoek taengah vangnah neh diklai khobawt due khangnah la na om ham nang kan khueh,’ tila mamih ng'uen bal coeng,” a ti rhoi.
For so the Lord has commanded us: I have placed thee for a light of Gentiles, for thee to be for salvation as far as the extremity of the earth.
48 Namtom rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah omngaih uh tih Boeipa olka te a thangpom uh. Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih tah dungyan hingnah ham mop la om uh. (aiōnios g166)
And hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as were appointed for eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Te dongah Boeipa kah olka loh paeng tom la thang.
And the word of the Lord was spread abroad through the whole region.
50 Tedae ak bawk nu hlangcong rhoek neh khopuei kah hlang lamhma rhoek te Judah rhoek loh a vueh uh tih Paul neh Barnabas te hnaemtaeknah neh a puengpuelh uh. Te phoeiah amih rhoi te a vaang khui lamloh a haek uh.
But the Jews incited the religious women, and the prominent women, and the principle men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they threw them out of their boundaries.
51 Te dongah amih te a kho dongkah tangdik a khoek thil tih Ikonium la pawk rhoi.
But after shaking off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium.
52 Hnukbang rhoek khaw omngaihnah, Mueihla Cim neh baetawt uh.
And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
