Acts 13

1 Now there were certain prophets and teachers in the church that was at Antioch; Barnabas, and Simeon, who is called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who was brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Antioch pawlpi sung ah, kamsang le sya pawlkhat om hi; amate sia Barnabas, Niger a kici Simeom, Cyrene khuami Lucius, ngam uk Herod taw a khang khawm pa Manaen le Saul te a hihi.

2 And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to the work to which I have called them.

Amate sia Topa naseam uh a, an a tan uh ciang in, Tha Thiangtho in Barnabas le Saul sia amate ka sap nathu nasep seam tu in a tuam in hong koi tuamsak tavun, ci hi.

3 Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

Taciang amate antang in thu a nget zawk uh ciang, Barnabas le Saul tung ah khut nga in, paisak uh hi.

4 Therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed to Cyprus.

Tha Thiangtho in a sawl bangma in, Barnabas le Saul sia Seleucia ah pai uh a; tua mun pan in Cyprus ah tembaw taw pai uh hi.

5 And while they were in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogue of the Jews; and they had John as their attendant.

Taciang amate Salamis ah a om uh laitak in, Judah te synagogue te sung ah Pathian thuhil uh hi: taciang amate a hu tu in John zong om hi.

6 And having gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus;

Tuikul sung theampo pai uh a, Pathos dong theng uh hi, tua mun ah mitbum thiam, leilot kamsang, Judah mi Bar-jesus a kici khat taw ki mu uh hi:

7 and he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was a man of intelligence. This man called for Barnabas and Saul, and expressed an earnest wish to hear the word of God.

Ama sia Sergius Paulus a kici mipil ngam ukpa taw om khawm hi; tua Sergius Paulus in Pathian thu a zak nop man in Barnabas le Saul sam hi.

8 But the magician Elymas (for this is his name, when translated) withstood them, desiring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

Ahihang a min khiakna mitbum thiam a kici Elymas in, ngam ukpa sia a upna pan ki khealsak tu in Barnabas le Saul te khak hi.

9 Then Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking earnestly upon him,

Tua zawkciang in Paul zong a kici Saul sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim in, Elymas a tangtak in en a,

10 said: O full of all deceit and all wickedness, child of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Nang doaimangpa tapa, leilot thu le seksolna taw a kidim, phatngawlna theampo i ngal, Topa lampi pha te suksiatna pan in tawlnga ngawl lai tu ni ziam?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and he went about and sought some to lead him by the hand.

Tu in, en in, Topa khut na tung ah om hi, na mittaw tu a, a ciangtan hun sung theampo ni na mu batu hi, ci hi. Taciang thakhatthu in a tung ah meikai le khuamial hong theng a; a khut pan a len tu te zong in pai hi.

12 Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

Tua zawkciang in ngam ukpa in a vawt te mu in um hi, Topa hilna sia lamdangsa mama hi.

13 And Paul and his companions put to sea from Paphos, and went to Perga in Pamphylia. But John withdrew from them, and returned to Jerusalem.

Tu in Paul le a lawm te sia Paphos pan in ngunkuang taw pai uh a, Pamphylia ngam Perga theng uh hi: taciang John sia amate kung pan pai a Jerusalem ah cia kik hi.

14 But having passed through from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia; and on the sabbath-day they went into the synagogue, and sat down.

Ahihang Perga pan a pai ciang in, Pisidia ngam Antioch theng a, sabbath ni in synagogue sung ah tum in to hi.

15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Brethren, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, speak.

Taciang thukham le kamsang te a sim zawkciang ulian te in ngual paisak a, no u le nau te, mite atu in hanthotna kammal nei na hi uh le, son vun, ci hi.

16 Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said: Men of Israel, and you who fear God, give audience.

Tua zawkciang in Paul dingto in, a khut van hi, Israel mite le no Pathian zakta te, ngai vun.

17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he brought them out from it.

Hi Israel mite Pathian in i pu le pa te teal a, Egypt ngam ah peamta bang in a om laitak in lamsang hi, taciang a ban sangpi taw Egypt ngam pan in pusua hi.

18 And for about forty years, he cherished them in the wilderness.

Taciang senneal ngam sung ah kum sawmli kiim anvak hi.

19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land among them by lot.

Canaan ngam a om minam sali te a suksiat zawkciang in, amate ngam sia aisan in hawm uh hi.

20 And after that he gave them judges, for about four hundred and fifty years, till Samuel the prophet.

Tua zawkciang in kamsang Samuel hun hong thet ma kum zali le sawm nga sung, Pathian in thukhenmang te pia hi.

21 And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

Tua zawkciang in amate in kumpi ngen uh a: Pathian in Benjamin minam Kish i tapa Saul sia kum sawmli sung pia hi.

22 And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom he gave this testimony: I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.

Saul a hepkhiat zawkciang Pathian in David sia amate kumpi tu in tungto hi; taciang ama thu Pathian in tettipan na a piak na sia, ka lungtang bang a nei Jesse tapa David ka mu zo hi, ama in ka deina theampo khuangkhim tu hi, ci hi.

23 From the posterity of this man, God, according to his promise, raised up for Israel a Savior, Jesus;

Pathian in ama kamciam bang in Israel te ngumtu David suan Jesus tungdingsak hi:

24 John having first preached, before his coming, the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel.

Jesus hongpai ma in John in mawna ki sikkik na taw kisai tuiphumna thu sia Israel mite theampo tung ah hil masa zo hi.

25 And as John was finishing his course, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he; but behold, there is coming after me one, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

Taciang John in a nasep a man tu ciang in, note in keima kua nong ci uh ziam? Keima sia Ama ka hi bua hi. Ahihang, en vun, ka nung pan in khat hongpai a, a peangdap khau sutsak tu zong ka kilawm bua hi, ci hi.

26 Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

U le nau te awng, Abraham tate le note sung ah Pathian a zakta te, hi ngupna thu sia note tung ah hong kipuak a hihi.

27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the words of the prophets, which are read every sabbath-day, have fulfilled them in condemning him.

Banghangziam cile Jerusalem a om te le ulian te in Jesus a heak ngawl uh hang ahizong, sabbath ni sim in a sim kamsang te kammal te zong a heak ngawl lai uh hu in, amate in Jesus mawsak in kamsang te thu tangtungsak uh hi.

28 And though they found no cause of death, yet they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain.

Amate in Jesus tung ah thi tak mawna a mu bua uh hi, ahihang Ama sia that tu in Pilate kung ah ngen uh hi.

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

Jesus thu a ki atkholsa theampo te sia amate in a tangtunsak zawk uh ciang, thing tung pan in khiasuk uh a, than ah vui uh hi.

30 But God raised him from the dead.

Ahihang Pathian in Ama sia thina pan thokiksak hi:

31 And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

Ama taw Galilee pan Jerusalem dong a pai te in, ni tampi sung mu uh a, tua te sia midang te tung ah Ama i tetti te a hi uh hi.

32 And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers,

Taciang note tung ah lungdamna thupha sia kote in kong tangko uh hi, tua thu sia i pu le pa te tung a kivawt kamciam a hihi,

33 that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Tua thu sia Pathian in ko a tate kung ah Jesus a thawkiksak na tungtawn in khuagkhimsak hi; Psalm ni na sung ah, Nangma sia ka Tapa na hihi, tu ni in kong nei zo hi, ci in ki atkhol hi.

34 But that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Taciang Ama sia muat ngawl tu in thina pan a thawkik na thu taw kisai in, David i a muantak hesuakna kong pia tu hi, ci hi.

35 For which reason he says also in another Psalm: Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

Mundang Psalm sung ma ah, na mi Thiangtho a muatthong tu na oai bua hi, ci hi.

36 For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.

Banghangziam cile David in Pathian deina bang in ama hun mihing te atu na a sep zawkciang mu a, a pu le pa te kung ah vui in a pumpi muat hi:

37 But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.

Ahihang Pathian in a thawkiksak pa sia, a pumpi muat ngawl hi.

38 Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the remission of sins:

Tua ahikom u le nau te, hisia pa tungtawn in note tung ah maw maisakna thu kong hil uh hi, ci kong hesak hi:

39 and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Moses thukham tungtawn in na san thei ngawl uh thutang suana sia Jesus upna tungtawn in a um theampo na theampo pan in thutang suana nga hi.

40 Take heed, therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets come upon you:

Tua ahikom kamsang te sonkhol nate note tung ah hong thet thei ngawl natu in;

41 Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, though one fully declare it to you.

En vun, no ngual selno thei te, lamdangsa vun a, lalcip tavun: banghangziam cile no hun sung ah, ka vawt nasep sia bangbang po ahizong na um bua tu uh hi, a ci thu sia kidawm vun, ci hi.

42 And as they were departing from the synagogue, they were requested to speak these things to them on the next sabbath.

Taciang Judah te synagogue sung pan a pusua ciang in, Gentile mite in mai sabbath ni ciang in hi thu te hil tu in ngen uh hi.

43 Now, after the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them, and persuaded them to continue faithful to the grace of God.

Mipi te kikhop a man uh ciang in, Judah mi tampi le Judah biakna sung a tum Gentile te in Paul le Barnabas te zui uh hi: Paul le Barnabas in Pathian thuthiamna sung ah om suak tu in hanthawn uh hi.

44 And on the next sabbath-day, almost the whole city met together to hear the word of God.

A mai nipi Sabbath ni ciang in Pathian thu ngai tu in tua khuapi sung om mi bup dektak hongpai uh hi.

45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

Ahizong Judah mite in mihonpi a mu uh ciang in, hazatna taw kidim uh a, Paul i thuhil nate langpan le sonsia in pau uh hi.

46 But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said: It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first: but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to tho Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

Tua zawkciang in Paul le Barnabas te sia hangsan seseam uh a, Pathian thu note kong hil phot uh kul hi: ahihang note in na vawk uh a, noma le noma tawntung nuntakna nga tu kiphu ngawl in thu na khen uh hi, en vun, ko Gentile te sang ah ka kihei zo uh hi. (aiōnios g166)

47 For thus has the Lord given us commandment: I have placed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be for salvation to the most distant part of the earth.

Banghangziam cile Topa in thu hongpiakna ah, Gentile mite khuavak hi tu in, lei mong khat dong ngupna atu hi tu in kong koi zo hi, ci hi.

48 When the Gentiles heard this they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were determined to obtain eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)

Hi thu sia Gentile te in a zak uh ciang in, lungdam mama uh a, Topa thu poktek uh hi: taciang tawntung nuntakna nga tu in a koi sa te in um uh hi. (aiōnios g166)

49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole of that region.

Topa thu sia tua ngamsung theampo ah kizel hi.

50 But the Jews in cited the devout and influential women, and the first men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.

Ahihang Judah mite in biakna sang a ki pumpiak te le a zatakhuai nupi te, khuasung a om ulian te hanthawn uh hi, taciang Paul le Barnabas te nasia seseam in vawtsia uh a, amate ngamsung pan in hawlkhia uh hi.

51 But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.

Ahihang Paul le Barnabas te in a peang tung a bang leivui te thin uh a, Iconium sang ah pai uh hi.

52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.

Taciang nungzui te sia lungdamna le Tha Thiangtho taw kidim uh hi.
