Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
Stephen tek haat thukte ah Sool angta. Erah sa adi Jerusalem hah ni kristaan loong ah rapne ih siiwi rumta. Samaria nyia Judia hah noongrep ni Kristaan loong ah tiisoon rumta, Heliphante loong ah ba soon muh.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
Rangte jatte mina loong ah ih Stephen mang ah rongrongwah ih hu ari damdi bengkaat rumta.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Sool ih chaas jeeje ah thet haat taat chungta; nokrookwet ni tumkhoom ano, minuh miwah Jisu suh hanpiite loong ah thoontang dok hoom kaat ano phaatak ni sakkaat rumta.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
Noongrep ni tiisoonta hanpiite loong ah ih Rangte tiit ah tumbaat rumta.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
Samaria hah ko samnuthung longthoon ni tongte miloong asuh Philip ih Kristo tiit ah baat kaatta.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Philip ih baat rumta tiitkhaap ah mih lomkhoonta loong ah ih rapniine ih thaangchaat rumta, heh jeng boichaat rum adi Philip ih paatjaajih loong ah reeraang nyia noisok rumta.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Chiithih laakhah ah mina loong sak nawa riihu leh doksoon eta, erah damdi huimu nyia ekoong loong ah de ih rumta.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Erah thoidi erah hadaang adi rapne tenroon woksoon ih tong rumta.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Erah samnuh hah adi Simoon ngeh ih mih wasiit angta, heh ih Samaria dowa mina loong asuh pootsiit maantaan kanoisok rumta. Heh ih liita ngah mina elong esiit,
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
eno erah samnuthung dowa, kurep wangrep ih, heh jeng ah naaririh ih boichaat rumta. Miloong ah ih liita, heh jiinni juuba “Rangte chaan aphaan “Eloongthoon Chaan aphaan” ah jeela.
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Miloong asuh maantaan ah rekamdook ih noisok rum kano heh jeng boichaatte totoh ang rumta.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Enoothong Philip ih Rangmong Hasong nyia Jisu Kristo ruurang ese tiit ah baat rum kano, hanpi ih rumta, eno minuh miwah loong ah juutem rumta.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Simon ih nep hanpiita; eno heh uh juutemta, erah lih adi Philip damdam tong ano paatjaajih ah noisok kano Simon ah rapne ih paatjaata.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Kamwah loong ah Jerusalem ni angrum adi Samaria nok hah ih Rangte jengkhaap kap eha ngeh ih japchaat rum ano, neng reeni Pitar nyia Joon kaat thuk rumta.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Erah ni thoknyu ano, Kristaan loong sak nah Esa Chiiala toom pah ah ngeh ih rang ah soomkoh ih nyuuta.
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
Esa Chiiala ah o sak ni uh maangpat angra taha; Teesu mendi juutem luulu phang kap rumta.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Pitar nyia Joon ih neng khoh ni nengnyi lak ih tajoh nyu ano rangsoom kot kano ba Esa Chiiala ah pah ra taha.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
Kamwah loong ah ih Kristaan loong khoni joh ano rangsoom kot kano Chiiala pah arah Simon ih japtupta. Erah thoidi Simon ih Pitar nyia Joon suh ngun ah konyu ano
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
baat nyuuta, “Arah chaan ah ngasuh nep koh weehe tih, mikhoh nah taajoh angdoh Esa Chiiala toom pah raaha suh ah.”
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
Eno Pitar ih ngaak liita, “Rangte lakkot ah ngun ih reh ang ngeh ih thun hu bah, an ngun ah hui uno soolam nah toom wang uh!
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
Rangte mootkaat nah seng damdoh an tami room ru, timnge liidoh Rangte miksok di an tenthun ah kaateng tah angko.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Erah raangtaan, an ih sekthun ih uh, an tenthun mongtham ethih thunhu, eno erah likhiik ethih thunhu ah biin anaan toom eh ho asuh Teesu rangsoom uh.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
An thidokdok mih siikhaamte nyia rangdah khui ni ang uh rah tup hala.”
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
Simon ih Pitar nyia Joon suh li nyuuta, set ih Teesu suh rangsoom koh weehe tih, erah li hansih ah likhiik nga taangnah nak toom thok weethuk ha.”
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Nengnyi khiikkhi nyia Teesu jengkhaap ah baat nyu ano, Jerusalem ni ngaakwang nyuuta. Samaria ni hadaang hantek ni Ruurang Ese tiit ah lam jangtang ih baatwan nyuuta.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
Teesu rangsah ih Philip suh liita, “Jerusalem dowa ih Gaja ko kala lam adoh juumeh ko ih kaat suh khookhaam uh” (Arah lam adi mih amadi tah khoomka.)
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
Erah baat kano, Philip ah khookhaam ano dokkhom kata. Eno Ethopia wangcha nuh ngun thiinte, daamhun wasiit, heh nok ni ngaakwangte chomuita. Erah warah Jerusalem ni Rangte rangsoom kah ano mokkaari ni nok ni ngaak wangte angta. Heh lamni soon adi, Isaia khowah ih raang arah leedap weta.
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
Esa Chiiala ih Philip suh baatta, “Mokkaari ko kah uno heh re tiittiit ih chap kah uh.”
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
Philip soon kata adi khowah Isaia leedap banweh arah japchaat kata. Eno Philip ih chengta, “An ih wehu adi tiimjih liiha jat nih hu?”
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Saahaap ah ih ngaakbaatta, “O ih uh lahuk sekbaat rangbah mamah ma jat ang?” Eno Philip ah mokkaari adi heh damdi roongtong suh duupoonta.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
Rangteele erah weta adi amah raangta: Saap ah dook esuh siitkaat ah likhiik, saapsah heh roon sui adi lahu lari thang kah ang ah likhiik, heh khaapsiit taan uh jengmuh.
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
Heh kaanju ih rumta, tiim lathika di thetbaat rumta. Heh sutoom satoom loong tiit ah o ih uh tajen baatka, timnge liidi arah hah adi heh roidong ah thoon ih kata.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
Saahaap ah ih Philip suh chengta, “Baat thaak hang, khowah ih liiha ah o suh liiha? Heh teewah tiit tam wahoh tiit baat ha?”
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
Eno Philip ih phangbaatta; Rangteele erah dowa phangbaat ano, Jisu Ruurang Ese tiit ah baatta.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
Philip nyia saahaap ah lamdat ko ih daatsoon kanyu adi, joisah esiit japtup nyuuta, eno saahaap ah ih liita, “Arah di ju cheesah je ah. Ngah laang ah juutem suh tanih nook kang?”
Philip ih liita, “An ten nawa ih jen hanpi ubah juutem ah ejen tem ih uh.” “Hanpi ih hang,” heh ih ngaak baatta; “Nga ih Jisu Kristo ah Rangte Sah ngeh ih hanpi ehang.”
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Saahaap ah ih mokkaari ah tangchap thukta, eno nengnyi Philip ju ko ih daatkhoom kanyu ano, Philip ih heh ju ah temta.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Ju nawa dokkhoom nyuuha di, Teesu Chiiala ih Philip ah soonsiitta. Saahaap ah ih Philip ah takah chotupta, eno tenroon woksoon heh lamko ih wangta.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Philip heh teewah Ajotaas ni ang arah japtupta; eno Ruurang Ese tiit ah hadaang rep ni lam jangtang ih Kaisiria maang thokthok ih baat wanta.
