Acts 9
1 And Saul, still breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest,
Sawluh naw Bawipa hnukläk jah mkyüh lü jah hnim khaia ngbüki naw,
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus, for the synagogues, that, if he should find any who were of this persuasion, either men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Bawipa tuilam kläklamkie nghnumi kpamie naküt jah khit lü Jerusalema a jah lawpüi vaia, Damatet mlüha sinakoka veki am ca a ja pet vaia Jerusalema ktaiyü ngvaia veia kthäh khaia citki.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light from heaven.
Acukba cit lü Damatet mlüh pei a pha law üng, khankhawa ka akvai cun angxita a peia vai law sawxatki.
4 And when he had fallen to the earth, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
Acunüng, Sawluh mdeka khana kyu lü, “Sawluh, Sawluh, i vai na na mkhuimkhaki ni?” tia kthai a ngjak.
5 He answered: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute.
Sawluh naw, “Bawipa, nang u ni?” a ti. “Na mkhuimkha Jesuha ka kyaki ni; tia kthai a ngjak.
6 But rise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
Acunsepi tho law lü mlüh da cita, acunüng na pawh vai ni mtheh khaie ni” a ti.
7 The men who journeyed with him stood amazed; for they heard a voice, but saw no one.
Acua a hlawnga cit hngakie naw kthai ngja u sepi, u am hmu u.
8 And Saul arose from the earth, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one; but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Sawluh cun mdek üngka naw tho law be lü, hang mangki naw ipi am hmu thei se, a kut üng kaih u lü, Damatet mlüha ami cehpüi.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Mhnüp kthum khawdei am hmu lü i am eiaw lü veki.
10 Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. He answered: Behold me, Lord.
Acunüng, Damateta Anani ngming naki axüisaw mat veki. Pamhnam naw a ngmang üng, “Anani” a ti. Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, hia ve veng” a ti.
11 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he is praying;
Bawipa naw a veia, “Tho law lü, lam ngdüng ami tia lama cita, Sawluh naki Tasuh mlüha ka Judaha ima va suia; acua ktaiyü lü veki ni;
12 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and laying his hand on him, that he may receive his sight.
Anani ngming naki naw lut lü a mik a mdeisak be vaia, a khana a kut mtaih se, hmu päng veng” a ti.
13 But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem;
Anani naw, “Bawipa aw, acun cun, Jerusalem mlüha na khyangea khana a jah mkhuimkhanak, khyang ngcim khawhah mpyawng üng ka ngjaki;
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
acunüng, hia pi na ngming pyenki naküt a jah mannak vaia ktaiyü ngvaiea veia ana yah pängki ni” ti lü a msang.
15 But the Lord said to him: Go; for he is a vessel chosen by me to bear my name before nations and kings, and the sons of Israel.
Acunsepi, Bawipa naw, “Cita, Khyangmjükcee, sangpuxange ja Isarel khyangmjükcee venaka ka ngming cehpüi khaia ka xü ni.
16 For I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name.
“Ka ngminga phäha mkhuimkhanak ihlawka khamei khai tia ka ksing lawsak khai” a ti.
17 And Ananias went, and entered the house, and laying his hands on him, said: Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Acunüng, Anani cun va cit lü Sawluha venak ima lutki; a khana a kut mtaih lü, “Ka na Sawluh aw, na mika hmuhnak be vai ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am na benak vaia, na law lama Bawipa na veia ngdangki Jesuh naw a na tüih law ni” a ti.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he instantly received his sight; and he arose, and was immersed.
Acunja, a mik üngka naw ngalipa nglawh lawa mäiha nglo law lü, a mik mdei law beki; acunüng, tho law lü, Baptican khanki.
19 And, having taken food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples in Damascus for some days;
Acunüng, a ei päng ja, aktha ve law beki. Acunüng, Damatet khawa veki axüisawea veia asäng veki.
20 and immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Sou of God.
Sinakoka cit täih lü, Jesuh cun Pamhnama Cakpa akyaka mawng sangki.
21 And all that heard him were astonished, and said: Is not this he who destroyed in Jerusalem those that call on this name, and who has come hither for this purpose, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
A ngthu pyen ngjaki naküt naw cäi u lü, “Hin hin, Jerusalem mlüha hina ngming pyenki naküt ja khuimkha khawikia am kya ai se? Acune cun jah khit lü ktaiyü ngvaiea veia a jah cehpüi vaia lawki ni” ami ti.
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confuted the Jews that dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Acunsepi, Sawluh cun a pyen johit am be law lü, Damateta vekia Judahea pyen naküta ngthu ja msang lü, Jesuh cun Khritaw kcanga akyaka mawng a jah mtheh.
23 And, after many days had passed, the Jews determined to kill him.
Acunüng, asäng nghjawk se, Sawluh hnim khaiea Judahe nghmu u lü cengkie.
24 And their plot was made known to Saul; and they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
Acunsepi, Sawluh naw ami ceng a ksingei. Sawluh hnim khaiea bü u lü mkawte cun amhnüp mthana ami jah ngnäng.
25 But the disciples took him by night, and let him down through the vail in a basket,
Acunsepi, axüisawe naw cehpüi u lü mthana vawh üng takie naw ngvawng üngkhyüh ami ju khyak.
26 And having come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.
Acunüng, Sawluh naw Jerusalem mlüh a pha ja, axüisawe jah ngdawn hüpüi se, axüisawa kya hngaki ti am jum u lü ami van naw ami kyühei.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had boldly preached in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Banabah naw ngkhahpüi lü axüisawea veia lawpüiki naw, lama Bawipa hmu se a ngthuheipüia mawng, Damatet khawa am kyühei lü Jesuha ngming am ngthu a pyena mawng cun a jah mtheh.
28 And he was with them in Jerusalem, coming in and going out; and, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus,
Acukba Sawluh cun Jerusalem khawa ami veia cit hü lü Bawipa ngming am ling lü ngthu pyenki.
29 he conversed and reasoned with the Hellenists; but they undertook to kill him.
Krik khyü pyenki Judahea veia ngthu pyen se, ngcupüikie naw, hnim khaie a ami bü.
30 And when the brethren learned this, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him out to Tarsus.
Acunüng, Jumeikie naw ami ksing law üng, Ketarih khawa cehpüi u lü Tasuh khawa ami tüihin u.
31 Then the churches throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Sangcime cun Judah, Kalile ja Samariha dim’yenak am vekie; acunüng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw ngjuk ktha jah pe lü khyang nung law u lü Bawipa cun aktäa kyühkie.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, passing through all the places, came down also to the saints that dwelt in Lydda.
Pita cun hnün naküt üng cit hü lü Ludah mlüha veki Mhnama khyangea venaka ju citki.
33 And he found there a certain man named Æneas, who was a paralytic, and had kept his bed for eight years.
Acua khyang mat, Eni ngming naki, xo lü kum khyet a ihnak üng ngjänki a hmu.
34 And Peter said to him: Æneas, Jesus the Christ restores you to health; arise, and spread your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;
Pita naw, “Eni, Jesuh Khritaw naw ning mdaw be ve; tho law lü na ngjännak pyanga” ti se, acun üng, angxita tho lawki.
35 and all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Ludah mlüh ja Saron mlüha vekie naküt naw, Eni hmu u lü, Bawipa veia nghlatkie.
36 Now there was in Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name, when translated, is Dorcas. She was full of good works and deeds of charity which she did.
Jukpei mlüh k'uma Tabitah ngmingnakia nghnumi mat veki. A Krik ngming cun Dorka naki, ‘Sa khyuk’ tinaka kyaki. Acuna nghnumi cun jumei lü, akdaw bilo lü, aktäa petmsawkia nghnumia kyaki.
37 And it came to pass, in those days, that she was taken sick, and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Acunüng, ani cun am mya lü thi se, a yawk cun mthi u lü ima khana ami mphän.
38 And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to make no delay in coming to them.
Acunüng, Ludah mlüh cun Jukpei mlüh khyüh am thuk, axüisawe naw Pita acua veki tia ami ksing üng, “Käh sü lü, kami veia law kawpi” tia nghui na khaia, khyang nghngih ami jah tüih.
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them; and when he had come, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas made while she was with them.
Acunüng, Pita cun tho law lü, ami veia cit haki. A pha ja khan ima ami cehpüi; hmeinu naküt cun a peia ngdüi u lü, Dorka naw ami veia a ve ham üng a jah pyana kcue ja jihe jah büktengsak u lü kyapkie.
40 But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Acunsepi, Pita naw ami van kpunga ja lu lawsak lü a mkhuk süm lü ktaiyüki; yawk da nglat lü “Tabitah, tho law” a ti. Acunüng, mdei law lü, Pita a hmu ja tho law lü ngawki.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Acunüng, Pita naw a kut säng lü mthoki naw, jumeikie ja hmeinue jah khü lü, akxünga a jah mhnuh.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
Acun cun Jukpei mlüh üngkae ami van naw ngja u lü khyang khawha naw Bawipa jumkie.
43 And it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Pita cun Jukpei mlüha mhnüp khawvei savun pyangki Sihmona ima veki.
