Sawltakte 2
1 Pentecost ni hong thet ciang in, amate a vekpi thukimtak in munkhat ah ki kaikhawm uh hi.
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together with one purpose.
2 Thakhatthu in van pan hui theau vapum bang aw nging hong theng a, amate to na inn hong dim hi.
And suddenly a roar came out of the sky, like the rushing of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Taciang leii taw a kibang meikuang hong kilang a, amate khatsim tung ah hong om hi.
Fiery tongues appeared and were distributed to them, and it [a tongue] landed on each one of them.
4 Amate a vekpi in Tha Thiangtho taw kidim uh a, Thaa in pau thei na a piak bang in, kam dang tek taw pau uh hi,
And they were all filled with Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages, as the Spirit was granting to them to speak out.
5 Van nuai ngam tatuam pan in biakna sang a ki pumpiak Judah mite Jerusalem ah om uh hi.
Now there were devout men, Jews, from every nation under heaven, dwelling in Jerusalem.
6 Tua aw a zak uh ciang in, mihonpi te hongpai ngawp uh a, amate i pauna sia amate kam tek taw za uh ahikom buai tek mama uh hi.
So when that roar occurred, the crowd came together, and was bewildered, because each one was hearing them speaking to him in his own dialect.
7 Taciang amate a vekpi in lungmang in lamdangsatek mama uh a, en vun, amate a vekpi uh in Galilee mite hi ngawl ziam?
So they were amazed and marveled, saying to one another: “Hey, aren't all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 Bangbang in i pianpui kam tek taw za hi ziam?
So how can each of us be hearing our own dialect in which we were born?
9 Eite sia Parthia ngam, Media ngam, Elam ngam, Mesopotamia ngam, Judah ngam, Cappadocia ngam, Pontus ngam, Asia ngam,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites; those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia ngam, Pamphylia ngam, Egypt ngam le Libya ngam Syrene khua pan i hi a, Rome sung leangna te, Judah mite le Judah biakna a bia Gentile te,
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; and visitors from Rome—both Jews and proselytes—
11 Cretes le Arabia ngam pan i hi a, amate i eima kam in a pau i zak sia Pathian i a lamdang nasep na hi, ci in khat le khat ki sason uh hi.
Cretans and Arabians; we hear them declaring the great works of God in our own languages.”
12 Amate a vekpi in lamdangsa mama uh a, lungmang mama in, hi thu sia a bang khiakna peuma ziam? ci in khat le khat ki dong uh hi.
Yes they were all amazed and perplexed, saying one to another, “Whatever is going on?”
13 A dang te in selno in, hite sia sapittui thak kham hon uh, ci uh hi.
But different ones were jeering, saying, “They are full of sweet wine!”
14 Ahihang Peter sia a dang sawm le khat te taw ding uh a, aw ngingtak in amate tung ah, no Judah mite le Jerusalem ah a omte, hi thu he tavun a, ka pau te ngai vun:
So Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and proclaimed to them: “Men—Jews and all who are dwelling in Jerusalem—let this be known to you; indeed, listen to my speech!
15 Banghangziam cile hite sia no i ngaisut bang in kham ngawl hi, zingsang nai kua hi pheang hi.
Because these are not drunk, as you suppose (since it is only the third hour of the day),
16 Ahihnag hi thu sia kamsang Joel i sonkholsa;
but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 Pathian in ni tawpkhak ni ciang in, mi theampo tung ah ka Thaa ka buak tu hi: taciang na tapa te le na tanu te in maisang thu pualak tu uh hi, taciang na tangval te in mangmu tu uh hi, taciang na puhuai te uh in mangman tu uh hi:
‘It will be in the last days, says God: I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your daughters will prophesy; your young men will see visions; your old men will dream a dream.
18 Tua ni ciang in, ka salpa le salnu te tung ah ka Thaa ka buak tu a; amate in mailam thu pualak tu hi:
In those days I will indeed pour out from my Spirit upon my male slaves and upon my female slaves, and they will prophesy.
19 Taciang vantung ah nalamdang te ahizong, lei nuai ah thisan, mei le meikhu musakna te ahizong, ka lak tu hi:
I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and smoke vapor.
20 A thupi le a cepte tak Topa ni hong thet ma in, ni hong mial tu a, tha zong thisan suak tu hi:
The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into ‘blood’ before the great and glorious day of the Lord will come.
21 Tua hun ciang in a kuamapo Topa min a sam theampo in ngupna nga tu hi.
And it will be: whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!’
22 No Israel mite, hi thu te ngai vun; Nazareth mi Jesus sia, Pathian in note sung ah a tumdang nate, nalamdang te le musakna te taw tettipang in a kipsak mihing a hihi, note mama in zong na heak uh bangma in:
“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Natsorean, a man from God attested to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in your midst, as you yourselves well know,
23 Ama sia, Pathian i khensat sa ngaisutna le heakkholsa bang in ki ap hi, taciang note in na man uh a, a seksol khut taw thinglamte tung ah khai in na that uh hi:
Him—being delivered up by the established purpose and foreknowledge of God—you murdered, having taken Him with lawless hands and crucified Him;
24 Ama sia thina in a letcip tu suakthei ngawl ahikom, Pathian in thokiksak a, thina ngimthuak na pan in suaktasak hi.
whom God raised up, ending the labor pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
25 Banghangziam cile David in Ama taw kisai in a son na ah, Topa sia a tawntung in ka mai ah ka mukhol hi, banghangziam cile Ama sia ka ziatsang ah om a, bangma in hong linglawngsak zo batu hi:
For David says concerning Him: ‘I always saw the Lord before my face, because He is at my right side so that I not be shaken.
26 Tua ahikom ka thinsung ah nopna om a, ka lei a lungdam hi; tuabek dom ngawl ka taksa zong lametna sung ah tawlnga tu hi:
Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Furthermore, even my flesh will repose upon hope,
27 Banghangziam cile nangma in ka tha sia hell sung ah na nusia bua hi, na Mi Thiangtho sia a muatcip tu na oai bua hi. (Hadēs g86)
because You will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Nangma in nuntakna lampi te nong hesak zo a; na maitang taw lungdamna dim in nong vawt tu hi, ci hi.
You have made known to me roads of life; with Your presence You make me full of gladness.’
29 Ka suapui te awng, minam te i pa David thu hangsan tak in kong son tu hi, ama sia thi a kivui zo hi, taciang tuni dong eite taw a than om nginge hi.
“Men, brothers, be it permitted to speak to you plainly about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Ama in cilesa lam a suanlepal te sung pan, Pathian in Christ sia thokiksak tu a, kumpi tokhum tung ah tosak tu hi, ci in kiciamna taw a kamciam na sia kamsang a hi nataw in he hi;
So then, he being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that of the fruit, according to flesh, of his loins He would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne,
31 Hi Christ thawkikna a mukhol hu in, a tha sia hell ah nusia ngawl hi, a taksa zong muat ngawl hi, ci son hi. (Hadēs g86)
he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, that His soul was not abandoned in Hades, nor did His flesh see decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Hi Jesus sia Pathian in thokiksak zo a, kote sia a tetti te ka hi uh hi.
“This Jesus God raised, to which we all are witnesses.
33 Tua ahikom Pathian i ziatsang ah ki lamsang a, Pa i kamciam Tha Thiangtho a san hu in, tu in na mu uh le na zak uh te sia Ama i hong buak a hihi.
Therefore, having been exalted to God's right hand, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this that you now see and hear.
34 Banghangziam cile David sia van ah kato ngawl hi: ahihang ama vateak in, Topa in ka Topa kung ah, ka ziatsang ah to in,
Further, David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand
35 Na ngalte ka peang koina in ka vawt mateng, ci hi.
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’
36 Tua ahikom Israel minam theampo in thiangtak in tel tavun, thinglamte tung ah na khai uh Jesus sia Pathian in Topa le Christ in vawt zo hi.
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified!”
37 Tu in amate in hi thu a zak uh ciang in, amate i thinsung hol a, Peter le adang sawltak te kung ah, U le nau te awng, banglaw tu khu ziam? ci uh hi.
Now upon hearing this they were cut to the heart and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?!”
38 Taciang in Peter in amate tung ah, na mawna uh kisik vun a, na mawna uh hang in na vekpi Jesus Christ min taw tui ki phum vun, taciang Tha Thiangtho letsong na nga tu uh hi.
So Peter said to them: “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, upon the name of Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Banghangziam cile kamciam sia noma, na tate, taciang a khuala mi theampo le Topa i Pathian in a sap tu theampo atu hi, ci hi.
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away—as many, that is, as the Lord our God may call.”
40 Peter in a dang kammal tampi taw tettipang in hanthawn a, hi minam seksol te kung pan in noma le noma ki ngum vun, ci hi.
With many different words he both testified and kept exhorting, saying, “Escape from this perverse generation!”
41 Tua zawkciang in Peter thuhilna sia lungdamtak in a sang te tui ki phum uh hi: taciang tua ni ma in mihing tul thum kiim amate kung ah ki belap hi.
Then those who gladly received his word were baptized, and that day about three thousand souls were added.
42 Amate sia sawltak te hilna le ki pawlkhopna, anluum bal na le thungetna ah tatsat ngawl in kiptak in om uh hi.
And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' teaching and in the fellowship, both in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.
43 Sawltak te in nalamdang tampi le musakna tampi vawt uh a, mi theampo tung ah launa hong theng hi.
Fear came upon every soul—many wonders and signs were taking place through the Apostles.
44 Taciang a um te theampo ki kaikhawm uh a, a neisa theampo zong neikhawm uh hi;
Now all who believed were together and had all things in common;
45 Amate neisa le van te zuak uh a, mi khatsim i a kisapna bang in, mi theampo tung ah hawm uh hi.
they started selling both possessions and goods and were distributing to all according as anyone had need.
46 Amate sia nisim tatsat ngawl in biakinn sung ah thukim in om tek uh hi, taciang inn khat zawk inn khat ah anluum te bal uh a, lungdamtak le thin ki si lung kisi in an ne khawm tek uh hi.
So day by day they continued steadfastly with one purpose in the temple and broke bread from house to house; they received their share of food with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Pathian pok khawm tek uh a, mi theampo taw maipha nga uh hi. Ngupna nga mi Topa in nisim in pawlpi sung ah belap hi.
praising God and having favor with all the people. And day by day the Lord added to the Church those who were being saved.
