But there were in the church of Antiokia prophets and teachers, Bar Naba and Shemun who was called Niger, and Lukios who was from the city of Kyrene, and Manael, a fosterbrother of Herodes Tetrarka, and Shaol.

2 Cekkhqi ing Bawipa bibi unawh buh zeih cykcahnaak ami taak huiawh Ciim Myihla ing, “Kai aham Barnaba ingkaw Saul ce ka bi ak bi ham ka taak kqawi amyihna ni hoep pe uh,” tina hy.

And as they fasted and supplicated Aloha, the Spirit of Holiness said to them, Separate to me Shaol and Bar Naba for the work to which I have called them.

3 Cedawngawh buh zeih unawh ami cykcah coengawh, cekqawi ak khan awh kut tloeng unawh amik cykcah peek coengawh tyi uhy.

And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid upon them the hand, and dismissed them.

4 Cecoengawh Ciim Myihla ing a tyih qawi amyihna Silucia na nu cet nih nawh cawhkawng Kupra benna lawng ing cet hy nih.

And they, being sent by the Spirit of Holiness, went down to Selukia, and from thence proceeded by sea to Cyprus.

5 Salamis khaw ani pha awh, Judakhqi a sinakawk awh Khawsak awi ce khypyi hy nih. Johan awm ani bi ak bina ceh pyi lawt hy nih.

And when they had entered the city Salamina, they preached the word of our Lord in the congregations of the Jihudoyee, and Juhanon ministered to them.

6 Cawhkaw tuilak cung awh ce cet phat nih nawh Paphos khaw ce pha uhy. Ce a khaw awh Juda phyn miklet ak thoem tawngha qawl Bar - Jesu ak mingnaak thlang pynoet ce hu uhy.

And when they had itinerated through the whole island unto the city Paphos, they found a man, a certain sorcerer, a Jihudoya, who was a false prophet, whose name was Bar Shuma.

7 Anih taw Rom qam ukkung Sergia Paula a venawh awm hy. Cawhkaw qam ukkung cetaw thlakcyi na awm nawh, Khawsak awi ce zaak aham a ngaih a dawngawh Barnaba ingkaw Saul ce thlang tyi nawh khy sak hy.

This adhered to a wise man who was proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulos. And the proconsul called Shaol and Bar Naba and requested to hear from them the word of Aloha.

8 Cehlai Rom qam ukkung ing cangnaak ce ang hawi taak thainaak aham miklet ak thoem Elima (ce ce anih ang ming kqawn ngaihnaak ni) ing cekqawi ce ana oelh hy.

But this sorcerer, Bar Shuma, whose name interpreted is Elymos, stood against them, because he desired to avert the proconsul from faith.

9 Cawh Paul tinawh awm amik khy Saul ce Ciim Myihla ing be nawh, Elima ce a toek hqeet coengawh,

But Shaol, he who is called PAULOS, was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and beheld him,

10 “Nang ve qaai a cana na awm a dawngawh ik-oeih ak thym boeih a qaal na awm hyk ti! Thailatnaak soepkep ingkaw qaaikqawnnaak ing be hyk ti. Bawipa a lam ak thym na kawi sak ve amna qoeng hly nawh nu?

and said, O full of all deceits and all wickednesses, thou son of the devil, and adversary of all righteousness, ceasest thou not to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 Bawipa a kut ce nak khan awh awm hawh hy. Na mik hyp kawmsaw, tuhkawng khawkbe ce am hu voel kawp ti,” tina hy. Kawlhkalh awh khawmai ingkaw thannaak ce ak khan awh pha pe saw, kutawh tu nawh ak sawi aham thlang thoem hyhy hy.

And now the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not see the sun until the time. And in the hour there fell upon him obscurity and darkness, and he went about asking some one to hold him by the hand.

12 Qam ukkung ing cawhkaw a them sai ce a huh awh, cangna hy, Bawipa akawng cawngpyinaak awh ak kawpoek na kyi hy.

But when the proconsul saw what had been done, he wondered, and believed in the doctrine of the Lord.

13 Paphos khaw awhkawng Paul ingkaw a pyikhqi ce Pamphylia qam khuiawh kaw Perga khaw na ce lawng ing cet uhy, cawh Johan ing cekkhqi ce Jerusalem na hlat taak khqi hy.

BUT Paulos and Bar Naba went on by sea from the City Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia; and Juhanon separated from them, and went to Urishlem.

14 Perga khaw awhkawng Pisidian Antiok khaw na ce cet uhy.

But they went forth from Perga, and came to Antiokia, the city of Pisidia. And they entered the synagogue, and sat on the day of shabath.

15 Anaa awi ingkaw tawngha caukkhqi noetnaak a awm coengawh, sinakawk ukkungkhqi ing cekkhqi venawh, “Koeinaakhqi thapeek awi kqawn aham nami taak awhtaw, kqawn thai uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.

And after the law and the prophets had been read, the presbyters of the synagogue sent to them, and said, Men, brethren, have you a word of exhortation to say to the people?

16 Paul ing dyi nawh thlang boeih ce a kut ing zap khqi nawh: “Israel thlangkhqi ingkaw Khawsa ak bawk nangmih Gentelkhqi aw, kak awi ve ngai lah uh!

And Paulos arose, and signed with his hand, and said to them:

17 Israel thlangkhqi a Khawsa ing ningnih a pakhqi ce anak tyk hy; Izip qam awh ami awm awh cekkhqi ce boei a mang sak khqi hy, a boeimang thaawm kut ing cekkhqi ce qam khuiawh kawng sawi khqi tlaih hy,

Men, sons of Israel, and those who fear Aloha, hearken! The God of this people elected our fathers, and exalted and magnified them, when they were sojourners in the land of Metsreen, and with uplifted arm brought them out therefrom

18 a mingmih a khawboe qamlang ce qamkoh awh kum phlikip khuiawh yh hy,

And he nourished them in the desert forty years.

19 anih Kanan qam khuiawh kaw qam khqih ce noeng pe nawh qam ce cekkhqi avenawh qo na pehy.

And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land an inheritance. And four hundred and fifty years

20 Vemyihkhqi ve kum zali coengawh hakip dii hy. Cekcoengawh Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce tawngha Samuel a awm hlan dy awidengkungkhqi ana pehy.

he gave them judges, until Shamuel the prophet;

21 Cekcoeng awhkawng thlangkhqi ing sangpahrang ce ana thoeh unawh, cedawngawh Benjamin kaw ak khuiawh kaw Kish a capa Saul ce ana pek khqi hy, anih ing kum phlikip ak khuiawh ana uk khqi hy.

and then prayed they for themselves a king; and Aloha gave to them Shaol-bar-Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.

22 Saul ce a qoeng coengawh, David ce sangpahrang na taak pek khqi hy. David awh ce anih ing: ‘Kamah ak kawlung amyihna ak awm Jesse a capa David ce hu hawh nyng; kai ing sai sak aham ka ngaih ce anih ing sai boeih kaw,’ tihy.

And he took him, and raised unto them David the king, and testified of him, and said, I have found David, the son of Jeshai, a man according to my heart; he will perform all my will.

23 Ce ak thlang a cadil khui awhkawng Khawsa ing Israelkhqi venawh awi a taaknaak amyihna hulkung Jesu ce pehy.

From the seed of this (man) the God of Israel, as he had promised, raised up Jeshu the Redeemer.

24 Jesu a law hlanawh Johan ing zutnaak ing baptisma akawng ce Israelkhqi boeih a venawh anak khypyi hy.

And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole people of Israel.

25 Johan ing amah a bibi ak coeng tawm awh: ‘Kai ve a u nu tinawh namik poek? Kai taw anih amni. Cehlai ka hu awh ni a law hly hyn hy, anih a khawmyk qui ak hlam peek aham zani am kawih nyng,’ tihy.

And while Juhanon accomplished his ministry, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not (he), but, behold, he cometh after me, he, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose.

26 Koeinaakhqi, Abraham a cakhqi ingkaw nangmih Khawsa ak kqih Gentel thlangkhqi aw, cawhkaw hulnaak awithang ce ningnih a venawh pat law hawh hy.

MEN, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and they among you who fear Aloha, unto you is sent the word of life.

For they, the inhabitants of Urishlem and their princes, have not consented thereto, nor also to the writings of the prophets which are read on every shabath; but condemned him, and accomplished all that was written.

28 Thih sak thainaak aham a thawlhnaak awm am hu hlai uhy, him thainaak aham Pilat a venawh thoeh uhy.

And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might kill him.

29 Anih akawng qee hyt na ak awmkhqi boeih ce ami sai peek coengawh, thing awhkawng lo unawh phyi awh pup uhy.

And when they had fulfilled every thing that was written concerning him, they took him from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 Cehlai thihnaak awhkawng Khawsa ing anih ce thawh tlaih hy;

But Aloha raised him from among the dead.

31 khawnghi khawzah amah ingqawi Kalili awhkawng Jerusalem na ak cetkhqi mi hu qu uhy. Cekkhqi ce ningnih thlangkhqi venawh simpyikung na awm uhy.

And he was seen days many by those who had come up with him from Galila to Urishlem, and they are now his witnesses unto the people.

32 Cedawngawh awithang leek ve ka nik kqawn peek khqi: Ni pakhqi venawh Khawsa ing awi ana taak ce,

And we also, behold, we preach to you that that promise which was made to our fathers,

33 Jesu a thawh tlaihnaak ak caming, ningnih a cakhqi venawh soep law sak hawh hy. Saam pakkhihnaak: ‘Nang taw ka capa na awm hyk ti; tuhngawi awh na pa na awm nyng,’ tinawh ana qee amyihna.

behold, Aloha hath fulfilled it to their children, (in) that he hath raised up Jeshu; as it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son; This day have I begotten thee.

34 Khawsa ing anih ce ama hawnaak zip qoe qoe aham, thihnaak ak khuiawh kawng am thawh tlaihnaak awh ce vemyihna kqawn hy: ‘David a venawh ak ciim ingkaw zoseennaak awikam ka taak ce ni pe kawng nyng,’ tinawh.

And thus did Aloha raise him from among the dead, that again he should not return thither to see corruption; as he had said, I will give you the sure grace of David.

35 Hun ak chang awh vemyihna qee bai hy: ‘Nak thlang ciim ce ityk awh awm am thu sak zip kawp ti,’ ti bai hy.

And again he hath said in another place, Thou hast not given thy Saint to see corruption.

36 David ing Khawsa ang cainaak ce amah a khuk khuiawh a bi boeih coengawh thi hy; a pakhqi venawh pup unawh a pum ce thu zip hawh hy.

For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

37 Thihnaak awhkawng Khawsa ing am thawh tlaih thlang cetaw am thu zip kaw.

But This whom Aloha raised saw no corruption.

38 Cedawngawh ka koeinaakhqi, Jesu ak caming thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak ce nangmih a venawh khypyi na awm hy tive sim sak aham ni ngaih khqi nyng.

Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins;

39 Mosi a anaa awi ak caming am hu thai hlai uhyk ti, ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih taw anih ak caming dyngnaak ce hu hy.

and from all (from) which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified.

40 Tawngha ing anak kqawn hyt awi ce nangmih ak khan awh ama pha lawnaak aham ngaihta lah uh:

Beware, then, lest there come upon you that which is written in the prophets:

41 'Toek lah uh, nangmih thlang ak hepkhqi, namik kawpoek kyi sak unawh qeeng uh, thlang ing ak kqawn law awh awm, amna mik cangnaak qoe qoe aham, na hqing khuiawh ik-oeih sai law kawng nyng, tinawh ana qee hyt awi ve,' tinak khqi hy.

Behold, despisers, and wonder, and perish: For a work I work in your days Which you will not believe if one should declare it to you.

42 Paul ingkaw Barnaba ing sinakawk awhkawng ani ceh awh, ce akawng ce hai Sabbath nyn awh kqawn peek tlaih aham thlangkhqi ing ceei uhy.

And when they had gone out from among them, they besought of them that the next shabath they would speak to them these words.

43 Thlang kqeng a ceh coengawh, Juda thlang khawzah ingkaw Juda phungna ak hawi qu Khawsa ak kqih thlangkhqi ing Paul ingkaw Barnaba a hu ce hquut uhy, cekqawi mi awikqawn unawh, cekkhqi ce Khawsa qeennaak ak khuiawh awm poe aham awikqawn pe hy nih.

And when the congregation was dissolved, many Jihudoyee went after them; and also the proselytes who worshipped Aloha. And they discoursed (with) and persuaded them to cleave to the grace of Aloha.

44 Sabbath nyn a pha tlaih awh awm khawk khui awhkaw thlang ak kuum ngai taw Bawipa awi ak ngai aham law uhy.

AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha.

45 Judakhqi ing thlang kqeng ce ami huh awh tlai se unawh amak thym na Paul ak awih kqawn ce oelh pe uhy.

And when the Jihudoyee saw the great assemblage, they were filled with envy, and arose against the words which Paulos spake, and blasphemed.

46 Cedawngawh Paul ingkaw Barnaba ing cekkhqi ce qal leeknaak ing awi hlat pe hy nih: “Khawsak awi ve nangmih a venawh kak kqawn maa aham awm hy. Cehlai nangmih ing oelh u tiksaw na mimah ce kumqui hqingnaak ing ak kawih na amna mik poek a dawngawh tuh taw Gentelkhqi benna ni ka ming mang hly hawh hy. (aiōnios g166)

But Paulos and Bar Naba said to them openly, To you it behoved first to speak the word of Aloha; but because you repel it from you, and determine against yourselves that you are not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Ikawtih Khawsa ing vemyihna awi ni pe qawi hy: ‘Gentelkhqi vangnaak na nang ve ni sai hawh nyng, khawmdek a dytnaak dyna hulnaak ce na khynnaak aham,’ ti ak awi ve,” tina hy nih.

For so hath our Lord commanded, as it is written, I have set thee a light to the Gentiles, To be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

48 Gentelkhqi ing ce ak awi ce a ming zaak awh, zeel unawh Bawipak awi ce zoeksang uhy; kumqui hqingnaak huh aham a hoep thlangkhqi ing cangna uhy. (aiōnios g166)

And when the Gentiles heard, they rejoiced and glorified Aloha; and they believed who were disposed unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

49 Bawipak awi ce ce a qam pum awh thang hy.

And the word of Aloha was spoken in all that region.

50 Cehlai Judakhqi ing Khawsa ak kqih dyih hun ak sang nukhqi ingkaw khawk khuiawh kaw ukkung thlangkhqi ce cuih uhy. Paul ingkaw Barnaba ce the a kha na unawh ce a qam khui awhkawng hqek uhy.

But the Jihudoyee excited the principal men of the city and rich women, who with them feared Aloha, and raised a persecution against Paulos and against Bar Naba, and cast them out from their bounds.

51 Cedawngawh cekqawi ing cekkhqi a mami ngaih huh saknaak na ani khaw awhkaw dekpli ce khawk sih nih nawh Ikonium khaw na cehta hy nih.

And as they went forth, they shook off against them the dust of their feet; and they came to Ikanon, a city.

52 Hubatkhqi ce Ciim Myihla ing be unawh zeel soeih uhy.

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit of Holiness.
