Caeltueih 9
1 Te vaengah Saul tah Boeipa kah hnukbang rhoek te hihhamnah neh ngawnnah dongah phit pueng.
But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the high priest,
2 Te dongah khosoihham te a paan tih Damasku la, tunim la, longpuei kah a hmuh sarhui, huta khaw tongpa khaw a om atah khih pahoi tih, Jerusalem la thak ham te capat a bih,
asked from him letters to Damascus against the synagogues, in order that if he should find any being of the way, both men and women, he might lead them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Te phoeiah cet tih Damasku a pha tom vaengah Vaan lamkah vangnah loh anih te buengrhuet a tue,
And it came to pass, while prosecuting the journey he drew near to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him;
4 Te vaengah diklai dongla bung tih ol pakhat a yaak tah, “Saul, Saul, balae tih kai nan hnaemtaek?” a ti nah.
and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord?
5 Te dongah, “Nang te ulae Boeipa,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai tah nang loh na hnaemtaek Jesuh ni.
And He said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
6 Tedae thoo lamtah kho khuila kun laeh. Na saii hamla a kuek te namah taengah han thui bitni,” a ti nah.
But stand up, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behooves thee to do.
7 Te vaengah anih neh aka yiin hmaih hlang rhoek loh tangawk la pai uh. Ol tah a yaak uh dae a muei tah hmu uh pawh,
And the men journeying along with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8 Saul loh diklai lamkah a thoh hang vaengah a mik a dai hatah ba khaw hmu pawh.
And Saul arose from the ground; and his eyes being open, he saw nothing: but leading him by the hand, they led him into Damascus;
9 Te dongah anih te a mawt uh tih Damasku la a khuen uh. Te vaengah hmu voel pawt tih a caak a ok mueh la hnin thum om,
and he was three days not seeing, neither did he eat nor drink.
10 Te vaengah hnukbang pakhat, a ming ah Ananias te Damasku ah om, Anih te Boeipa loh mangthui neh, “Ananias,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Boeipa ka om he,” a ti nah.
And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 Te phoeiah Boeipa loh anih te, “Thoo, imhlai laklo ah a dueng la a khue te paan lamtah, Tarsus hoel, a ming ah Sual te Judas im ah tlap, Anih te thangthui la ko te.
And the Lord said to him, Arising, go to the street which is called Straight, and seek a Tarsean, by name Saul, in the house of Judas; for, behold, he is praying,
12 A mangthui dongah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Ananias te ha kun tih anih te kut a tloeng thil daengah ni a mik tueng rhoe a tueng eh?,” a ti nah.
and he saw a man, Ananias by name, coming in, and putting his hands on him, in order that he may look up.
13 Te dongah Ananias loh, “Boeipa, tekah hlang kawng te hlang taeng lamloh boeih ka yaak coeng. Jerusalem ah na hlangcim taengah a saii te khaw bahoeng thae aih coeng.
And Ananias responded, Lord I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem:
14 He ah khaw na ming aka khue rhoek boeih te khih hamla khosoihham rhoek taengkah saithainah a khueh,” a ti nah.
and he here has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name.
15 Tedae Boeipa loh anih te, “Cet ngawn, anih tah Israel ca rhoek kah manghai rhoek neh namtom rhoek hmaiah ka ming aka phuei la kamah ham a tuek conghol paitaeh la om coeng.
And the Lord said to him, Go: because he is a vessel of election to me, to bear my name both before the Gentiles, and kings, and sons of Israel:
16 Ka ming kongah aka patang ham anih bahoeng a kuek te amah taengah kamah loh ka tueng bitni,” a ti nah.
for I will show him how many things it behooves him to suffer for my name's sake.
17 Te daengah Ananias loh cet tih im khuila kun, Te phoeiah anih te kut a tloeng thil tih, “Ka manuca Saul, na lo phai vaengkah longpuei ah nang taengla aka phoe Boeipa Jesuh loh kho na hmuh tih mueihla cim baetawt sak ham kai n'tueih coeng,” a ti nah.
And Ananias departed, and came into the house: and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, that appeared to you in the way in which thou didst come, hath sent me, that thou mayest look up, and he filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 Te vaengah a mik lamkah te a lip bangla hel khaek, Kho khaw a hmuh dongah thoo tih anih te a nuem,
And immediately there fell from his eyes as scales: and he looked up; and having stood up, was baptized,
19 Te phoeiah cak ok a doe tih a thaa koep sai, Te vaengah Damasku kah hnukbang rhoek taengah khohnin a yol om.
and having received food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples who were in Damascus some days;
20 Te phoeiah Jesuh tah Pathen capa ni tila tunim ah pahoi a hoe.
and immediately he was preaching Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 Aka hnatun rhoek boeih loh limlum uh tih, “Jerusalem ah Boeipa ming aka phoei rhoek aka thup te anih nim, anih pawt nim. Amih te pin vetih khosoihham rhoek taengah aka thak ham ni he la ha pawk dae,” a ti uh.
And all those hearing were astonished, and continued to say, Is not this the one laying waste those calling on this name in Jerusalem? and has come hither for this, that he may lead them bound to the chief priests.
22 Tedae Saul tah lat thaphoh uh tih Damasku kah Judah khosa rhoek te a huek, Te tah Khrih ni tila a cui sak.
And Saul continued to be the more filled up with dynamite, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that Jesus is the Christ.
23 Tedae khohnin muep a di vaengah tah anih te ngawn ham Judah rhoek loh a taeng uh.
And when many days were being filled up, the Jews issued a verdict to kill him:
24 Amih kah mangtaengnah te Saul loh a ming. Te vaengah anih ngawn hamla khoyin neh khothaih ah khaw vongka te a tawt uh.
but their plot was made known to Saul. And they were keeping the gates both day and night in order that they might kill him:
25 Tedae a hnukbang rhoek loh khoyin ah a khuen uh tih voh khuiah a sang uh phoeiah pangbueng longah a colh uh.
and his disciples taking him, let him down through the wall in the night, lowering him in a basket.
26 Jerusalem la a pawk vaengah hnukbang rhoek taengah kap ham a noemcai hatah anih te boeih a rhih uh. Hnukbang ni tila tangnah uh pawh.
And arriving in Jerusalem, he was endeavoring to join himself to the disciples: and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Tedae Barnabas long tah anih te a sambai tih caeltueih rhoek taengla a khuen. Te phoeiah longpuei ah Boeipa a hmuh tih anih a voek te khaw, Damasku ah Jesuh ming dongah a sayalh te khaw, “amih taengah a thui pah.
But Barnabas taking him, led him to the apostles, and related to them how he saw the Lord on the way, and that He spoke to him, and how he preached boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Te dongah Jerusalem kah a voei a bal rhuet ah amih tengah om tih Boeipa ming neh sayalh la a thui.
And he was with them going in and coming out in Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord;
29 Tedae a thui vaengah Hellenist rhoek neh oelh uh thae tih anih te ngawn ham cai uh.
and he was speaking and arguing against the Hellenists, and they undertook to kill him.
30 A manuca rhoek loh a ming dongah anih te Kaiserea la a khuen uh tih Tarsus la a tueih uh.
And the brethren, taking cognizance, led him to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
31 Te vaengah Judea, Galilee neh Samaria pum boeih kah hlangboel long khaw ngaimongnah a dang. Boeipa rhihnah neh hlinsai uh tih pongpa uh. Te dongah Cim Mueihla kah thaphohnah neh pinguh uh.
Then indeed the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified and progressing in the fear of the Lord; and was being multiplied by the exhortation of the Holy Ghost.
32 Peter khaw khotom rhali aka hil la om tih Lydda kah khosa hlangcim rhoek taeng khaw a pha,
And it came to pass, that Peter going through all parts, came down also to the saints living at Lydda.
33 Te vaengah aka khawn tih, phakdoeng dongah kum rhet aka yalh, hlang pakhat, a ming ah Aeneas te a hmuh,
And he found there a certain man, by name Eneas, lying on a bed eight years, who was paralyzed.
34 Peter loh, “Aeneas, Jesuh Khrih loh nang n'hoeih sak coeng. Thoo lamtah namah te khoem uh laeh,” a ti nah vaengah hlat thoo,
And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ heals thee: arise, and take up thy bed: and immediately he arose.
35 Lydda neh Sharon kah khosa rhoek boeih loh anih te a hmuh uh vaengah Boeipa taengla bal uh.
And all those dwelling at Lydda and Sharon, whosoever saw him, turned to the Lord.
36 Joppa ah khaw hnukbang pakhat, a ming ah Tabitha te om van. Te te Dorkas a ti tih a thuicaih. Anih tah khoboe then neh a soep la om tih doedannah khaw a saii.
But there was a certain disciple in Joppa, by name Tabitha, who being interpreted is called Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms which she was doing.
37 Tedae a khohnin a pha vaengah tah anih te tlo tih duek. Te dongah anih te tui a hluk uh tih imhman ah a khueh uh.
And it came to pass during those days, she being sick, died: and washing her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
38 Lydda neh Joppa he tah rhep a om dongah hnukbang rhoek loh Peter a om te a yaak uh. Te dongah hlang panit te a tueih uh tih, “Uelh mueh la kaimih taengah hang hil dae, “tila a tah uh.
And Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter is in it, sent two men to him, entreating him, Do not delay to come unto us.
39 Te dongah Peter te thoo tih amih te a puei, Anih a pha vaengah imhman la ana khuen uh. Anih a pai vanneh nuhmai rhoek loh boeih rhap uh tih Dorkas loh amih taengkah om vaengkah a saii angki neh himbai boeih te a tueng uh.
And Peter rising up came along with them; whom, on arrival, they led to the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing him the chitoons and himations, so many as Dorcas made, while with them.
40 Tedae Peter loh poengla boeih a tueih tih khuklu cungkueng doela thangthui. Te phoeiah rhok taengla mael tih, “Tabitha, thoo,” a ti nah. Anih long khaw a mik te a daii hatah Peter te a hmuh tih koe ngol,
And Peter having put them all out, and putting down his knees, prayed; and having turned toward the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and seeing Peter sat up.
41 Te phoeiah anih te kut a doe tih a thoh, Hlangcim rhoek neh nuhmai rhoek te a khue tih Dorcas a hing te a tueng,
And having given her his hand, he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Joppa kah tom boeih loh a ming la om coeng dongah hlang te yet loh Boeipa te a tangnah uh.
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord.
43 Te vaengkah khohnin te yet a om khuiah Joppa kah hlang pakhat maehpho Simon taengah puet naeh.
And it came to pass, that he remained some days in Joppa, with one Simon a tanner.
