1 Theophilus awng, amasa laibu ka atna sung ah, Jesus i sep le a hilna theampo a kipat pan in,
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Ama a ki lakto ni dong, tuazawk Tha Thiangtho tungtawn in a tealsa sawltak te tung ah thupia hi:
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 A thuak zawkciang in sawltak te in ni sawm li sung Ama mu uh a, Pathian kumpingam taw kisai thu te son hi, Ama nungta tatak hi, ci tetti kho tampi taw lak hi:
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's kingdom.
4 Munkhat ah amate taw a ki kaikhop laitak in, Jerusalem pan koima pai ngawl tu in, Keima tung pan na zaksa uh bangma in, Pa i kamciam na ngak vun.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.

Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Jesus in amate tung ah, Pa in Ama vangletna sung ah a koisa hun le ni te sia, note i heak tu kisam ngawl hi.
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 Taciang hi thu te a son zawkciang, amate in a et uh laitak in, Jesus sia a tungsang ah ki lato a; amate mutang in mei in lia hi.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
12 Tua zawkciang in amate Olive mual pan in Jerusalem ah heakkik uh hi, Olive mual sia Jerusalem pan in sabbath ni pai thei na tan khawng khuala hi.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

14 Hiteng a vekpi lungkim in nupi te, Jesus nu Mary le a suapui te taw tatsat ngawl in thungen khawm tek uh hi.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 U le nau te awng, Tha Thiangtho in David i kam zangin a sonkholsa, Jesus man tute a makai Judas thu taw kisai in hi laithiangtho sia a tangtun hamtang kul hi.
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.

Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.

For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'

"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
