Caeltueih 5
1 Tedae hlang pakhat a ming ah Aninias neh a yuu Sapphira loh hnopai a yoih.
But a certain man, named Ananias, with Sapphira, his wife, sold an estate,
2 Tedae a phu te a uep. A yuu khaw a yaak sak phoeiah a ngen te a khuen tih caeltueih rhoek kah kho kungah cukdek a tloeng.
and secreted a part of the price, his wife also, being privy to it: and bringing a certain part, he laid it down at the feet of the Apostles.
3 Te dongah Peter loh, “Ananias, balae tih Satan loh na thinko a hah sak, Mueihla Cim te na laithae thil. Te dongah ni khohmuen phu te na uep coeng.
But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to impose on the Holy Spirit, and to secrete a part of the price of the land?
4 Aka om tangtae tah namah taengah om tih na yoih vaengah namah ah saithainah a om moenih a? Balae tih na thinko khuiah te bang hno te na khueh. Hlang taeng bueng mueh la Pathen taengah khaw na laithae coeng,” a ti nah.
While it remained, did it not continue yours? and when it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you admitted this thing into your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.
5 Te ol te Ananias loh a yaak vaengah cungku tih duek. Te dongah aka ya rhoek boeih te rhihnah loh muep a kun thil.
And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired: and great fear fell on all that heard these things.
6 Te dongah cadong rhoek loh thoo uh tih anih te a cun uh phoeiah a khuen uh tih a up uh.
Then the young men arose, and bound him up, and carrying him out, they buried him.
7 Khonoek pathum tluk di tih a om phoeiah olka aka om te a yuu loh a ming mueh la kun van.
After the interval of about three hours, his wife, also, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 Te vaengah anih te Peter loh, “Kai taengah thui laeh, khohmuen na thuung te heyet bueng nim,” a ti nah hatah, “Ue heyet ni,” a ti nah.
And Peter said to her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
9 Tedae anih te Peter loh, “Balae tih Boeipa Mueihla noemcai ham na rhoih uh rhoi. Thohka kah na va aka up rhoek kah a kho loh nang khaw n'thak bal ni he,” a ti nah.
Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of those who have been burying your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.
10 Te vaengah pahoi cungku tih a kho kungah duek bal. Te dongah cadong rhoek aka kun rhoek loh anih te a duek la a hmuh uh vaengah a khuen uh tih a va taengah a up uh.
And immediately she fell down at his feet, and expired: and the young men coming in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
11 Te dongah hlangboel boeih neh te te aka ya rhoek boeih te rhihnah loh muep a kun thil.
And great fear came on all the assembly, and on all that heard these things.
12 Caeltueih rhoek kah a kut loh pilnam taengah miknoek neh khobae rhambae muep a saii dongah Solomon impup ah thikat la boeih om uh.
And many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles, (and they were all unanimously in Solomon's portico;
13 Amih te a tloe loh ben ham ngaingaih pawt cakhaw amih te pilnam loh a oep.
and not one of the rest presumed to join himself to them, but the people magnified them:
14 Boeipa aka tangnah huta tongpa rhaengpuei loh taoe thap uh thae.
and believers were more and more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women: )
15 Te dongah Peter ha pawk atah a mueihlip rhung long khaw bet dah saeh tila tattloel te thingkong neh phakdoeng soah a ngol sak uh tih toltung la a khuen uh.
insomuch that along the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds, and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, coming by, might overshadow some of them.
16 Jerusalem khopuei kaepvai kah rhaengpuei long khaw ha tingtun uh. Tattloel khaw, rhalawt mueihla loh a ven rhoek te khaw a khuen uh tih boeih hoeih uh.
And multitudes also, out of the cities round about, came together to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those that were troubled with unclean spirits, who were all healed.
17 Khosoihham a thoh nen tah a taengkah rhoek boeih, Sadducee kah buhlaelh la aka om rhoek loh kohlopnah neh khuk hah uh.
But the high priest arising, and all they that were him, being the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with zeal,
18 Te phoeiah caeltueih rhoek te kut a hlah thil uh tih thongim ah langya la a hlak uh.
and laid their hands on the Apostles, and put them into the common prison.
19 Tedae khoyin ah Boeipa kah puencawn loh thongim thohka te a ong tih a mawt.
But a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison, and bringing them out, said,
20 Te phoeiah amih rhoi te, “Cet rhoi, bawkim kah pilnam taengah pai rhoi lamtah hingnah ol he boeih thui rhoi,” a ti nah.
Go, and presenting yourselves in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this life.
21 Mincang ah bawkim la kun rhoi tih a thuituen rhoi te a yaak uh. Te dongah khosoihham aka pawk rhoek neh a taengkah rhoek loh khoboei neh Israel ca khuikah paham rhoek te boeih a hueh uh tih amih rhoi aka lo ham thongim la a tueih uh.
And hearing this, they went very early into the temple, and taught. But the high priest being come, and they that were with him, they called together the Sanhedrim, even the whole Senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Tedae tueihyoeih rhoek loh a pha uh vaengah amih rhoi te thongim khuiah a hmu uh pawt dongah bal uh tih puen uh.
But when the officers came, they found them not in the prison. Returning, therefore, they made their report,
23 Te vaengah, “Thongim te cakrhuet la boeih a khaih tih thohka ah aka tawtkung rhoek a pai uh khaw ka hmuh uh dae a ong vaengah a khuiah u khaw ka hmuh uh pawh,” a ti uh.
saying, We found, indeed, the prison shut with all safety, and the keepers standing before the doors; but, having opened them, we found no one within.
24 Bawkim kah imtawt boei neh khosoihham loh he ol a yaak vaengah amih ham te metlam a om co tila khobing uh.
Now, when the high priest, and the captain of the temple guard, and the chief priests heard these words, they doubted concerning them, what this could be.
25 Te vaengah pakhat ha pawk tih, “Thongim ah na khueh uh hlang rhoi loh bawkim ah pai rhoi tih pilnam a thuituen rhoi he, “tila amih taengah a puen pah.
But one came, and told them, Behold, the men whom you put in prison, are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Te dongah imtawt boei neh a tueihyoeih rhoek te cet uh tih amih rhoi te a mawt uh. Tedae pilnam kah a dae te a rhih uh dongah vikvueknah neh saii uh pawh.
Then the captain went, with the officers, and brought them, (not by violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned: )
27 A khuen uh neh amih rhoi te khoboei hmaiah a pai rhoi vaengah khosoihham loh a dawt tih,
and when they had brought them, they set them before the Sanhedrim. And the high priest asked them,
28 “Te ming neh thuituen pawt ham nangmih rhoi taengah oluen khaw kang uen uh moenih a? Tedae nangmih kah thuituennah neh Jerusalem ah bae coeng he. Hlang thii he kaimih soah tla saeh na ti rhoi a?” a ti nah.
saying, Did we not strictly charge you, that you should not teach in this name? and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would bring this man's blood upon us.
29 Peter neh caeltueih rhoek loh a doo uh, “Hlang ol lakah Pathen ol ngai lat ham a kuek.
But Peter and the other Apostles answered, and said, It is necessary to obey God rather than men.
30 A pa rhoek kah Pathen loh Jesuh a thoh coeng. Anih na ngawn uh tih thing dongah na hoei uh.
The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew, hanging him on a tree:
31 Israel te yutnah neh tholh khodawkngainah paek ham Pathen loh a bantang ah rhuihnun neh khangkung la a pomsang coeng.
HIM has God exalted at his right hand, a Prince and Saviour, to give reformation to Israel, and remission of sins.
32 Te dongah kaimih loh te olthang kah laipai la ka om uh tih, anih ol aka ngai rhoek te Pathen loh Mueihla Cim a paek coeng,” a ti rhoi.
And we are witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them who submit to his government.
33 Tedae aka ya rhoek loh phuk a paeng uh dongah amih te thup hamla cai uh.
And when they heard this, they were enraged, and consulted to put them to death.
34 Te vaengah Pharisee pakhat, a ming ah Gamaliel, pilnam boeih loh saya la a hinyah te, khoboei lakli ah thoo tih hlang rhoek te poeng la rhaih khueh ham ol a paek.
But a certain Pharisee in the Sanhedrim, whose name was Gamaliel, a doctor of law, in great esteem among all the people, rose up, and commanded the Apostles to be taken out for a little while;
35 Te phoeiah amih te, “Israel hlang rhoek, he hlang rhoek taengah metla saii ham na cai uh khaw namamih ngaithuen uh.
and he said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you are about to do to these men.
36 Amih hlankah Theudas a cungpoeh hnin ah khaw amah te khat khat la om ham a thui dongah hlang he hlangmi yali tluk loh anih taengla bop uh. Tedae anih a thup uh vaengah anih aka ngaitang boeih loh boeih milh uh tih a honghi la poeh.
Some time ago Theudas arose, pretending himself to be a person of note: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, adhered, who was slain; and all who hearkened to him were scattered, and came to nothing.
37 Hlangmi soepnah tue vaengah khaw Galilee kah Judah te phoe bal tih a hnukah pilnam te a yoek bal. Tedae anih khaw poci tih anih aka ngaitang boeih tah muep paltham uh.
After him, Judas, the Galilean, arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew a multitude of people after him, and he was destroyed; and all who hearkened to him were dispersed.
38 Te dongah nangmih ham ka thui coeng he. Hekah hlang rhoek he nong tak uh lamtah hlah uh mai. He he hlang kah mangtaengnah neh a khoboe la a om atah a phae pah bitni.
And now, in the present case, I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this design and work be of men, it will be defeated;
39 Tedae Pathen lamkah la a om atah amih te na palet thai mahpawh, nangmih te boekoek la m'hmuh uh boel saeh,” a ti nah vaengah anih ol te a rhooi uh.
but if it be of God, you can not defeat them: lest, perhaps, you be found fighters against God.
40 Te dongah caeltueih rhoek te a khue uh tih a tam uh. Jesuh ming neh thui pawt ham khaw a uen uh tih a hlah uh.
And they yielded to him; and having called in the Apostles, and scourged them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
41 Te vaengah, “A ming ham yahbai nen khaw n'tiing uh pai,” a ti uh dongah khoboei hmai lamloh omngaih la mael uh.
And they departed from the presence of the Sanhedrim. rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be exposed to infamy for the sake of his name.
42 Tedae bawkim khui neh im lamkah hnin takuem ah toeng mueh la a thuituen uh tih Khrih Jesuh te a phong uh.
And, daily, in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and declare the good news, that Jesus is the Messiah.
