Acts 9
1 And Saul, still breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest,
Sawl ni Bawipa a hnukkâbangnaw hah a pakhi teh thei hanlah ngainae a tawn, ahni ni vaihma kacue koe a cei teh,
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.
Damaskas kho e sinakoknaw koe poe hanelah panue nahane ca a hei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa lamthung ka dawn e naw tongpa hoi napui thoseh, a hmu e pueng katek vaiteh Jerusalem lah hrawi thai na hanelah doeh.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light from heaven.
Hottelah ahni ni a cei teh Damaskas khopui teng a pha navah, kalvan lahoi angnae ni pheng a tue.
4 And when he had fallen to the earth, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
Talai dawk a rawp teh, Sawl, Sawl bangkong kai na rektap telah ahni koe dei e lawk a thai.
5 He answered: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute.
Bawipa nang apimaw, telah a pacei navah Bawipa ni kai teh nang ni na rektap e Jisuh doeh.
6 But rise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
Thaw nateh kho thung kâen lah, na sak hane thaw na dei pouh han, telah atipouh.
7 The men who journeyed with him stood amazed; for they heard a voice, but saw no one.
Ahni hoi kahlawng rei kacetnaw ni lawk teh a thai awh ei apihai a hmu awh hoeh dawkvah muen a ka ngai awh teh lawkkamuem lahoi hawvah a kangdue awh.
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.
Sawl teh hluet a thaw ei banghai a hmu thai hoeh dawkvah, taminaw ni a kut dawk hoi a hrawi teh, Damaskas khopui lah a ceikhai awh.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Ahni teh hnin thum touh thung a mit a dawn teh rawca cat laipalah ao.
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.
Damaskas kho dawk Ananias tie a hnukkâbang buet touh ao. Kamnuenae lahoi, Bawipa ni, Ananias telah a kaw. Ahni ni, kai hivah ka o, Bawipa, telah atipouh.
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 ni ahni koe, thaw nateh, lam kalan tie koevah cet nateh Judah im vah Tarshish tami, Sawl tie hah tawng haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh a ratoum lahun.
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.
A kamnuenae dawk a mit kho bout a hmu thai nahanlah Ananias tie a kâen vaiteh a van vah kut a toung e a hmu, telah 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;
Ananias ni, Bawipa, ahni ni Jerusalem kho e na tami kathoungnaw koe hno kahawihoehe moi a sak tie tami moikapap ni a dei e ka thai.
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
Vaihma bawinaw koehoi kâtawnnae hoi hivah a tho. Na min kakawnaw pueng man thainae kâ a tawn, telah atipouh.
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.
Hateiteh, Bawipa ni cet haw ahni teh Jentelnaw, siangpahrangnaw hoi Isarelnaw hmalah ka min ka sin hanelah ka rawi toe.
16 For I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name.
Ahni teh ka min kecu dawk rucatnae a khang hane naw ka panue sak han, telah 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.
Hahoi, Ananias ni a cei teh, imthungkhu vah a kâen. Sawl van vah a kut a toung teh, ka nawngha, Sawl na tho nah lam vah nang koe ka kamnuek e Bawipa Jisuh ni na mit bout ang sak teh, Kathoung Muitha hoi na kawi thai nahan kai na patoun, telah atipouh.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he instantly received his sight; and he arose, and was immersed.
Hatnavah, vai touh lahoi a mit dawk hoi tanga lakep patetlah a kâkhawk teh, kho bout a hmu thai. Ahni ni a thaw teh Baptisma a coe.
19 And, having taken food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples in Damascus for some days;
Hahoi, rawca a ca hnukkhu a tha bout a sai. Sawl teh Damaskas khovah a hnukkâbangnaw koevah dongdengca ao.
20 and immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Sou of God.
Sawl ni Khrih teh Cathut e ca doeh telah sinakoknaw dawk tang a pâpho.
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?
Hote lawk ka thai e naw abuemlah ni kângairu awh teh, hete tami teh Jerusalem kho e Bawipa min kakawnaw raphoe hanlah ka kâyawm e tami nahoehmaw, Ahnimanaw katek vaiteh vaihma bawinaw koevah hrawi hanelah hivah ka tho e nahoehmaw telah ati awh.
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confuted the Jews that dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Hatei, Sawl teh a tha hoe ao. Jisuh teh Khrih doeh ati teh kampangkhai dawkvah Damaskas kho kaawm e Judahnaw hah a kângairu sak.
23 And, after many days had passed, the Jews determined to kill him.
A hnin moi ao toteh, Judahnaw ni Sawl hah thei hanlah kho a khang awh.
24 And their plot was made known to Saul; and they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
Hatei, Sawl ni a khokhang awh e a panue. Sawl thei hanelah kho a khang awh dawkvah tangmin tangtho longkha hah a ring awh.
25 But the disciples took him by night, and let him down through the vail in a basket,
Hatnavah, a hnukkâbangnaw ni Sawl hah a hrawi awh teh, tangmin vah tapawm dawk hoi kho kalupnae rapan hloilah a pabo awh.
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.
Sawl ni Jerusalem a pha navah, a hnukkâbangnaw koe huiko hanlah a panki eiteh a yuem awh hoeh dawkvah a taki awh.
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.
Hatei Barnabas koevah bangtelamaw, Bawipa a hmu teh, Bawipa ni Sawl koe bangtelamaw lawk a dei tie naw hoi Damaskas kho dawk Jisuh min taranhawi lahoi a pâpho e kongnaw kacaicalah a dei pouh.
28 And he was with them in Jerusalem, coming in and going out; and, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus,
Sawl teh Jerusalem vah gunceinaw hoi rei a ceio navah, Bawipa min lahoi taranhawi laihoi a pâpho awh.
29 he conversed and reasoned with the Hellenists; but they undertook to kill him.
Sawl teh Grik lawk ka dei e Judahnaw hoi a kâoun awh teh ahnimouh ni Sawl teh thei hanlah a kâcai awh.
30 And when the brethren learned this, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him out to Tarsus.
Hote kong hah a hmaunawnghanaw ni a thai awh navah, Kaisarea kho lah a ceikhai awh teh, Tarshish kho lah a patoun awh.
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.
Hatnavah Judah kho, Galilee kho, Samaria kho kaawm e kawhmoun pueng ni teh karoumcalah ao awh. Ahnimanaw ni Bawipa takinae dawk thoseh, Kathoung Muitha e thapoenae dawk hai thoseh, a hring awh teh tami hoe a pung awh.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, passing through all the places, came down also to the saints that dwelt in Lydda.
Piter ni hnintangkuem kahlawng a cei teh Lidda khovah a pha. Hote kho dawk kaawm e tami kathoungnaw koe a pai.
33 And he found there a certain man named Æneas, who was a paralytic, and had kept his bed for eight years.
Hote kho dawkvah Aeneas tie tami teh kum taroe touh thung a kamkhuen teh ikhun dawk sut ayan e hah 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;
Hatnavah Piter ni Aeneas koe Jisuh ni nang teh na dam sak toe, thaw nateh na iphah kalawng leih, atipouh navah ahni teh hluet tang a thaw.
35 and all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Lidda kho hoi Sharon kho e kaawm e naw ni ahni a hmu awh navah Cathut koe lah a lungkâthung awh.
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.
Joppa kho kaawm e Dawka tie Tabitha teh a hnukkâbang e napui buet touh lah ao. Ahni teh hnokahawi pou ka sak ni teh poenae lahoi thaw ka tawk e lah ao.
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.
Hatnae hnin navah ahni teh a pataw dawk a due. Taminaw ni a ro teh tui a pâhluk awh hnukkhu imvan e irakhan dawk a ta awh.
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.
Joppa kho pui teh Lidda khopui hoi a hnai dawkvah Lidda khothung vah Piter ao tie a hnukkâbangnaw ni a thai toteh ahni koe tami kahni touh a patoun awh. Kaimanaw koevah karang tho ei telah ati pouh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Piter ni hluet a thaw teh ahnimouh hoi imvan e rakhan thung cungtalah a kâen. Piter a pha toteh lahmainunaw ni Piter e a teng a kangdue awh teh a kâ awh. Ahnimanaw ni Dawka a hring nah a khui e khohnanaw a pâtue awh.
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.
Piter ni ahnimanaw alawilah a tâco sak hnukkhu, a khokcuengkhuem teh a ratoum. Hahoi a ro koe lah a kamlang teh Tabitha thaw leih atipouh navah ahni teh a mit a padai teh Piter hah a hmu toteh a thaw teh a tahung.
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.
Hahoi Piter ni Dawka hah a kut dawk hoi a pathaw teh a kangdue sak. Tami kathoungnaw hoi lahmainunaw a kaw teh bout a hring toe telah ahnimouh koe a patue.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
Hote kamthang teh Joppa kho thung pueng dawk a kamthang teh tami moikapap ni Bawipa a yuem awh.
43 And it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Hot hnukkhu hoi Piter teh Joppa kho dawk phaivuen ka sak e Simon im vah hnin ka saw lah ao.
