Caeltueih 4
1 Pilnam ham a thui uh vaengah khosoih rhoek, bawkim kah imtawt boei neh Sadducee rhoek loh amih te a paan uh.
As Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees came to them,
2 Pilnam a thuituen tih duek lamloh thohkoepnah te Jesuh rhangneh a doek dongah a yakdam uh.
greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from 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.
So they arrested them and took them into custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
4 Tedae ol aka hnatun rhoek a yet ngai long tah a tangnah uh dongah hlang he hlangmi la thawng nga tluk lo uh.
But many who heard the word believed, and the number of men who believed came to about five thousand.
5 A vuen a pha vaengah a boei rhoek, patong rhoek neh cadaek rhoek te Jerusalem ah tingtun uh.
On the next day, the rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,
6 Te vaengah khosoihham Annas neh Kaiaphas, Johan, Alexander neh namtom khuikah khosoihpuei khaw boeih om uh.
along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were members of the high-priestly family.
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.
After making Peter and John stand before them, they began to question them: “By what power or by what name did you do this?”
8 Peter tah mueihla cim neh a bae dongah amih te, “Pilnam kah boei rhoek neh patong rhoek,
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to 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 are being examined today about a good deed done to a disabled man and by what means he has been healed,
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.
let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead.
11 Amah tah nangmih imsa rhoek loh a hnaelcoe lungto la om dae imkil kah tlungyun la poeh coeng.
This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
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.
There is salvation in no other, for there is no other name given among men by which we must 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.
When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and when they realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Aka hoeih tih amih rhoi taengah aka pai hlang te khaw a hmuh uh dongah oelh ham khaw om voel pawh.
But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, they had nothing to say in opposition.
15 Te dongah amih rhoi te khoboei im kah poengla caeh ham ol a paek uh.
So they ordered Peter and John to step out from the Sanhedrin while they conferred 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 should we do with these men? For it is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem that a notable sign has been done through them, and we cannot 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 so that it may not spread any further among the people, we will strictly warn them to speak no more in this name to any of the people.”
18 Te dongah amih rhoi te a khue uh tih Jesuh ming dongah thuituen pawt ham neh thui loengloeng pawt ham a uen uh.
Then they called them in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all 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.
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge.
20 Ka hmuh neh ka yaak uh te ka thui pawt koinih a coeng moenih,” a ti nah.
For we cannot help but speak about what we have seen and heard.”
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.
So after threatening Peter and John further, they released them, finding no way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
22 Hoeihnah miknoek loh a thoeng thil hlang te tah a kum sawmli hlai a lo coeng dongah ni.
For the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.
23 A loeih phoeiah amah rhoek taengla pawk rhoi tih khosoihham rhoek neh patong rhoek loh a thui boeih te amih taengah puen rhoi.
After being released, Peter and John went to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to 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.
When they heard this, they lifted up their voices with one accord to God and said, “Master, yoʋ are God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is 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.
It is yoʋ who said through the mouth of yoʋr servant David, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot foolish 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 stand up, and the rulers are gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed.’
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 indeed both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against yoʋr holy servant Jesus, whom yoʋ anointed,
28 Na kut loh a saii tih aka thoeng ham koi boeih te na mangtaengnah loh a nuen coeng.
to do whatever yoʋr hand and yoʋr plan had foreordained to take place.
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, take note of their threats and grant it to yoʋr servants to speak yoʋr word with all boldness,
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.
as yoʋ stretch out yoʋr hand to heal and to perform signs and wonders through the name of yoʋr holy servant 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.
After they prayed, the place where they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking the word of God with boldness.
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.
Now the hearts and souls of the multitude of believers were one, and no one was saying that any of their belongings was his own, but everything they owned was held 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.
With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
34 Im kung lo kung la aka om boeih loh a im a lo a yoih uh.
There was no one needy among them, for all who owned plots of land or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was 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.
They laid the money at the feet of the apostles, and the proceeds were distributed to anyone who 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,
Joses, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”), a Levite and Cypriot by birth,
37 a lo khueh te a yoih vaengah tangka a khuen tih caeltueih rhoek kah kho kung ah a tloeng.
also sold a field he owned and then brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.
