Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold property,
Acunsepi, khyang mat Anani ngmingnaki, a khyu Saphira am veki xawi; Ani xawi naw khawhnün jawi lü,
2 and kept back from the price, his wife also having joint awareness. And having brought a certain part, he placed it at the apostles' feet.
a khyua ksinga khawhnün phu avang thup lü, avang däk lawpüi lü Ngsäea khaw kunga a tak law.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back from the price of the land?
Acunsepi, Pita naw, “Anani aw, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim na mhlei na khai ja, khawhnün phu avang na mji khaia, ise khawyam naw na mlung üng bi a bi ni?
4 While it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, it was in thine authority. Why is it that thou have placed this matter in thy heart? Thou have not lied to men, but to God.
Acuna khawhnün cun a ve ham üng na kaa am kyaki aw? Na jawih käna a phu haw na kaa am kya se aw? Ise hikba na ngaiki ni? Khyang na mhleiki am ni, Pamhnam na mhleiki” a ti.
5 And Ananias hearing these words, after falling down he expired. And great fear developed in all who heard these things.
Acunüng, Anani naw acuna ngthu a ngjak ja kyu lü thiki; acunüng, ksingkie naküt cun aktäa kyüheikie.
6 And after rising the young men wrapped him, and having carried him out they buried him.
Acunüng, cawngpyange naw ngdüi law u lü, a yawk hlawp u lü kawtkie naw ami va k’ut.
7 And it came to pass after an interval of three hours, his wife also came in, not knowing that which happened.
Acunkäna, naji kthum bang anghjawk ja, a khyu i am ksing lü, lut lawki.
8 And Peter responded to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
Pita naw, “Na mtheha, khawhmün cun hihah däka aw nani jawi?” ti lü, a kthäh. Acunüng, ani naw, “Ä hihah däka ni” a ti.
9 But Peter said to her, How is it that it was agreed by you to challenge the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
Acunüng, Pita naw, “Ise Bawipaa Ngmüimkhya cam khaia nani büki ni? Tenga, na cei k’utkiea khawleh mkawt peia veki, nang pi ni kawt hnga khaie” a ti.
10 And immediately she fell down at his feet and expired. And after coming in the young men found her dead, and having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
Acun üng angxita, a khaw kunga kyu lü thi sawxatki; acunüng, cawngpyange lut lawki he naw thi se hmu u lü, kawt u lü a ceia peia ami k’ut hnga.
11 And great fear developed in the whole church, and in all who heard these things.
Acunüng, sangcime avan ja acuna ngjakie naküt naw aktäa kyüheikie.
12 And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders happened among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
Acunüng, khyangea ksunga Pamhnam naw, Ngsäea khyüh müncamkse ja cäicingnak phyaki he khawha, jah biki. Acunüng, ami cun ami ngkhä mlung mat ta u lü, Solamona mkawt ami tia, atänga nghmukie.
13 But of the rest no man dared join them, but the people magnified them.
Khyang kce u pi ami veia am ngkhaw dat; acunsepi khyange naw aktäa jah mhlünmtaikie.
14 And more who believe were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,
Acunüng, Bawipa jumei law kthaikia nghnumie ja kpamie khawha cun ami veia ngkhaw lawki;
15 so as to bring the feeble to the thoroughfares, and to place them on cots and mats, so that while coming, the shadow of Peter might at the least overshadow some of them.
Acunüng, Pita cit hü lü a hnge naw a jah hneh vaia am myakie cun lama jah kawt law u lü ihnake ja phakea khana ami jah takie.
16 And also the populace of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem bringing the feeble, and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
Acunüng, Jerusalem mlüh pipeia kae am myakie, khawyai ksea jah venake cun jah law püi u lü lawki he; acune cun mya be päihkie.
17 But after rising up, the high priest and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees) were filled of envy.
Acunüng, ktaiyü ngvai säih ja a püie Sadukee law u lü ngsä he ami jah ng’eiha phäh ami khana bi vaia ngtängkie.
18 And they threw their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
Ngsä xawi jah man u lü thawngim üng ami jah khyum.
19 But an agent of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and after leading them out, he said,
Acunakyase mthana, Bawipa khankhawngsä mat naw thawng ksawhe jah mhmawng law lü akpung da jah cehpüiki naw,
20 Go ye, and after standing in the temple, speak to the people all the sayings of this Life.
“Cit ni, temple k'uma ngdüi ni lü, khyangea veia xünnak kthaia mawng va pyen nia” a ti.
21 And having heard, they entered into the temple at early morning, and taught. But the high priest having arrived, and those with him, they called the council together, and all the senate of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the prison for them to be brought.
Acunüng, acuna ngthu ani ngjak ja, khaw thai law üng temple k'uma lut ni lü, jah va mtheimthangki xawi. Acunsepi, ktaiyü ngvai ja a püie law u lü, bawi ja, Judah ngvaie naküt cun kawngcia mkhäm lawki he naw, angsä xawi cun thawngim üngkhyüh ami ja lawpüi vaia thawngim da khyang ami ja tüih.
22 But the subordinates who came did not find them in the prison. And having returned, they reported,
Acunsepi, jung ngvaie ami pha law üng thawngima angsä xawi cun am jah hmu u; acunüng, nghlat law be u lü kawngci a ami jah va mtheh,
23 saying, We found the prison indeed shut in all security, and the guards standing before the doors, but after opening, we found no man inside.
“Thawngim cun üp yekia ngkhai se, mtätkie pi ksawh peia ngdüi u se kami jah hmuh; acunsepi, kami mhmawng üng, a k'uma u pi am ja hmuh ve üng” ti u lü, ami ja mtheh law.
24 Now when they heard these words, the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests, were perplexed about them, whatever this would become.
Acunüng, temple mtätkie ja ktaiyü ngvaie naw acuna ngthu ami ngjak üng, hikba ngsä hea ve hin i a ngjo ni tia, aktäa cäicingkie.
25 But a certain man who arrived, reported to them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
Acunüng, khyang mat law lü ami veia, “Teng u, thawngima khyang nami ja khyum xawi naw temple k'uma ngdüi ni lü khyange jah mtheimthang ve ni” a ti law.
26 Then after departing, the captain with the subordinates brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they would be stoned.
Acunüng, temple ngvai cun ami khyange am va cit u lü, khyange naw lung am ami jah kawng vai kyüh u lü, angsä xawi cun akdawa ami jah lawpüi be u.
27 And having brought them, they placed them in the council. And the high priest demanded them,
Acunüng, ja pha lawpüikie naw, Kawngci ja ktaiyü ngvai säiha hmaia jah ngdüihsak lü ami jah kthäh.
28 saying, Did we not command by an order for you not to teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem of your doctrine, and intend to bring upon us this man's blood.
“Ahina ngming am käh nani jah mthei ti vai, tia kami ning jah mtheh päng, ngthu nani ja mtheinak cun Jerusalem üng ngthang hüki, “nani pawh cun ngai nia” ti lü a jah pyen. Ania thinak hin keimi khana nani phaw lawsak vaia nani pawhki aw.
29 And Peter and the apostles having answered, they said, We must obey God rather than men.
Acunsepi, Pita ja ngsä kcee naw, “Khyanga pyen kami ngaiha kthaka Pamhnama pyen ni kani ngai khawm.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye murdered, having hung on a tree.
“Nangmi naw Jesuh kutlamktung üng taih u lü, nami hnim cän kami pupaea Pamhnam naw mtho be pängki ni.
31 God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
“Ani cun Pamhnam naw khawngmang ja küikyankia ve khaia Isarele ami mkhyekatnak üngkhyüh ngjut be lü ja mhlät khaia a khet da mhlünmtaiki.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.
Acuna saksia kani kyaki ni; Ngmüimkhya Ngcim, Pamhnam bänak cun ani kcangnakia phäh ni” a ti.
33 And when they heard this, they were as being split with a saw, and wanted to annihilate them.
Acunüng, acuna ngthu kawngci vawne naw ami ngjak üng, ami mlungso law se, Ngsäe cun jah hnim law hlükie.
34 But after standing up in the council, a certain Pharisee named Gamaliel, a law teacher, esteemed by all the people, commanded to make the apostles be outside a little while.
Acunsepi, Kawngci üngka khyang, a ngming Kamaleilah naki, Phariseea thum ksingki, khyange naküt üng a ngming ngthangki cun ngdüi law lü angsä xawi cun ami jah khyah be vaia a jah mtheh.
35 And he said to them, Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves what ye are going to do against these men.
Acunüng, Kawngcia veia, “Nangmi Isarel khyange aw, hin xawia khana nami pawh vaia nami bü cän cäi lü ngai ma ua.
36 For before these days Theudas rose up saying himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, bonded themselves, who was killed. And all, as many as were persuaded by him, were dispersed and developed into nothing.
“Ahlana pi, Theuhdah naw, ‘Kei khyang sawxat am ni’ ti lü ve se; a veia khyang khawha, phyakphyü bang a veia ngdawn vaikie. Acunsepi ani cun hnim u se, a ngthu läkie naküt pi avan cencawn hü päih u lü, ia am kya bekie ni.
37 After this man Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the registration, and drew a considerable crowd behind him. That man was also destroyed, and all, as many as were persuaded by him, were scattered.
“Ania ve käna, ngming yu u lü ami mkhäm k'um üng, Kalilea ka Judah naki ve law beki; a veia khyang khawhah citkie. Acunsepi, ani pi thi se, a hnu läkie avan khyük päihkie.
38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them go, because if the project or this work is from men, it will be overthrown,
“Acunakyase, atuh ka ning jah mtheki, hina khyange käh ja pana u, ani büa ve u se; ani mkhyäp ja ani bilawh, khyanga pawh sawxata akya üng amdanga khyük be sawxat khai ni;
39 but if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it, and perhaps ye may be found to be fighting against God.
acunsepi, Pamhnama bilawha, akya üng, am jah näng thei uki; am acunüng, Pamhnam nami tukia ksaia nami kya khai ni” a ti.
40 And they were persuaded by him. And after summoning the apostles, having beat them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
Acunüng, acuna pyen cun ngaisim u lü, angsä xawi cun jah khükie naw ami jah kpai; ami ja kpai päng üng Jesuha ngming am ngthu käh sang hü be ti khai xawia ami ja khyah be.
41 Indeed therefore they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to be treated shamefully for the name of Jesus.
Acunüng, Kawngci üngka naw cit be ni lü, acuna Jesuha phäh luthui hmaisetnak khamei khaia ani nglawia phäha, aktäa jekie.
42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching good news, Jesus, the Christ.
Acunüng, amhnüp tä se, temple ja khyangea ima, Jesuh Mesijah mawng cun jah mtheimthang lü sangkie.
