Guncei 11
1 Judah ram thung kaawm e gunceinaw hoi hmaunawnghanaw ni Jentelnaw ni Cathut lawk a dâw awh toe tie a thai awh.
And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;
2 Hahoi teh Piter ni Jerusalem kho a pha toteh vuensom ka a naw ni ahni teh a pathoe awh.
and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,
3 Nangmanaw vuensom ka a hoeh e naw koe na kâen awh teh na canei awh telah yon a hnei awh.
saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.
4 Hahoi teh Piter ni hote a konglamnaw kahawicalah buet touh hnukkhu buet touh a dei pouh.
But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,
5 Joppa kho ka ratoum navah vision ka hmu. Hni kalenpui buet touh a takin pali touh kaawm e kalvan lahoi kabawt e ka hmu teh ka teng vah a pha.
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:
6 Athung vah kahawicalah ka khet teh talai van e a khok pali touh e moithangnaw, sarangnaw, a vawn hoi kâva e naw hoi tavanaw hah ka hmu.
on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.
7 Hahoi lawk buet touh ka thai. Piter thaw nateh, thet haw, hahoi teh cat loe, na ti pouh.
And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.
8 Hatei, kai ni coung thai mahoeh Bawipa, bangkongtetpawiteh, kathounghoehe hno teh ka kâko dawk kâen boihoeh ka ti pouh.
And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.
9 Hatnavah apâhni lah kalvan hoi e a lawk teh Cathut ni a thoungsak e nang ni thoung hoeh tet hanh a ti.
And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
10 Hettelah vai thum touh thung ati hnukkhu hotnaw pueng teh kalvan lah bout a tawm.
And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;
11 Hat navah, Kaisarea kho lahoi kai koe a patoun e tami kathum touh kai ka onae im hmalah a kangdue awh.
and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12 Hatnavah Kathoung Muitha ni oupvoutnae awm laipalah ahnimouh hoi rei cet lawih telah na ti pouh. Hete hmaunawngha taruk touh hai kai hoi rei a cei awh teh kaimouh teh ahni im ka kâen awh.
And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,
13 Hote tami ni kalvantami ni ahnie imthungkhu a kangdue teh Joppa kho lah tami patoun nateh Piter tie Simon hah kaw loe.
and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14 Ahni ni nangmouh imthungkhu abuemlah rungngang lah na o awh nahanlah a hmu e hah na dei pouh han ti teh a hmu e hah kaimouh koe a dei.
who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 Hahoi teh tang ka dei teh, Kathoung Muitha teh ahmaloe maimae lathueng a pha e patetlah ahnimouh lathueng hai a pha van.
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.
16 Hatnavah Jawhan ni tui baptisma a poe. Nangmouh teh Kathoung Muitha dawk baptisma na hmu awh han telah Bawipa ni a dei e lawn ka pouk.
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.
17 Hat torei teh, Cathut ni Bawipa Jisuh Khrih ka yuem e nangmouh na poe e poehno patetlah, ahnimouh haiyah a poe van dawkvah, bangtelah vai khuet ka rakhout thai toung va telah atipouh.
If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?
18 Ahnimouh teh hote lawk a thai navah sairasuepcalah ao awh. Hathnukkhu Cathut a pholen awh teh Cathut ni hringnae dawk pha sak lah kaawm e pankângainae phunglawk hah Jentelnaw koe haiyah a poe toe titeh a dei awh.
And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.
19 Stiven rektap kecu dawk kâkapek awh e naw teh, Phoenicia ram koehoi saipras tuilum hoi Antiok kho totouh a cei awh. Ahnimouh teh Judah miphun dei laipalah, api koehai kamthang lawk teh dei awh hoeh toe.
They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.
20 Hatei, Saipras hoi Grik kho e tami a tangawn ahnimouh koe a bawk teh Antiok kho a cei awh. Grik lawk ka dei e Judahnaw koe haiyah a dei pouh teh Bawipa Jisuh e kamthang kahawi teh a dei awh.
But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.
21 Bawipa e thaonae kut teh ahnimouh hoi rei ao dawkvah, tami moikapap ni a yuem awh teh Bawipa koe a kâthung awh.
And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Ahnimae kamthang teh Jerusalem kaawm e kawhmoun ni a thai navah, Barnabas hah Antiok kho cei hanlah a patoun awh.
And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:
23 Barnabas a pha teh, Cathut e lungmanae a hmu torei teh a lunghawi, ahnimanaw hanlah yuemnae lahoi Bawipa koe pou kâhnai hanelah tha a poe teh a hroecoe.
who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;
24 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh tami kahawilah ao dawkvah, Kathoung Muitha hoi thoseh, yuemnae hoi thoseh, kakawi e lah ao. Hatnavah tami moikapap Bawipa dawk a kâthung awh.
for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.
25 Barnabas teh Tarshish kho a cei teh, Sawl hah a tawng.
And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.
26 A kâhmo toteh Antiok khovah a thokhai teh kum touh thung kawhmoun hoi a kamkhueng awh teh tami moikapap a cangkhai awh. Antiok khovah ahnukkâbangnaw hah Khristennaw telah hmaloe a kaw awh.
And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Hatnae tueng dawkvah Jerusalem hoi Antiok khovah profetnaw a cei awh.
Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;
28 Ahnimouh thung dawkvah Agabus tie ni a kangdue teh, talaivan pueng dawkvah takang kalenpounge a tho han telah muitha lahoi a pâpho. Hote takang teh Kalawdias siangpahrang a tawk nah a tho.
and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.
29 Hatnavah a hnukkâbangnaw ni a tithai awh e patetlah kabawp hanelah lengkaleng a tâcokhai awh.
And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];
30 Ahnimouh ni hottelah a tâcokhai e hah Barnabas hoi Sawl koehoi patuen kacuenaw koe a patawn awh.
which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
