Acts 13
1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
Te vaengkah Barnabas neh Niger la a khue Simeon, Kurena hoel Lukia, khoboei Herod kah thawnpuei Manaen neh Saul te Antiok kah aka poe hlangboel taengah tonghma neh saya la om uh.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
Amih khaw Boeipa taengkah thothueng neh a yaeh uh vaengah Mueihla Cim loh, “Barnabas neh Sual tah kai ham hoep uh laeh. Amih rhoi te kamah bibi ham ni ka khue,” a ti nah.
3 And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
Te dongah caak yaeh neh aka thangthui rhoek loh amih rhoi te kut a tloeng thil uh tih a tueih uh.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
Te phoeiah Mueihla Cim kah a tueih van bangla amih rhoi tah Seleukia la cet rhoi. Te lamloh Kupros la kat uh.
5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.
Salami kah a om vaengah khaw Judah rhoek kah tunim ah Pathen kah olka te a doek rhoi tih Johan te tueihyoeih la a khueh rhoi.
6 They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
Paphos duela tuisanglak te boeih a hil rhoi vaengah laithae tonghma kholo hlangcueih hlang pakhat te a hmuh rhoi. Anih te Judah ming ah Bar-Jesuh la om.
7 an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.
Anih tah tongpa lungming, Sergius khoboei Paul taengah om. Te long tah Pathen kah olka te yaak ham a toem dongah Barnabas neh Saul te a khue.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
Tedae amih rhoi te kholo hlangcueih Elymas loh a oelh. Amah ming loh a thuingaih tangloeng dongah khoboei pa te tangnah dong lamloh paimaelh ham a mae.
9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas
Tedae Saul Anih tah Paul ni tah Mueihla Cim neh a baetawt dongah anih te a hmaitang tih,
10 and said, “O child of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, you are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
“Tuengkhuepnah cungkuem, omthae cungkuem neh aka baetawt tih duengnah boeih kah a rhal rhaithae capa aw Boeipa kah longpuei dueng na maelh te toeng boeh ne.
11 Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Tedae Boeipa kut loh nang n'nan thil coeng he. Mikdael la na om vetih khoning pakhat dongah khomik na hmu mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah khomai neh yinnah loh anih te pahoi a tlak thil. Te dongah tinghil tih mawtkung a toem.
12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
Hno aka om te khoboei pa loh a hmuh vaengah Boeipa kah thuituennah dongah let tih a tangnah.
13 After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
Te phoeiah Paul taengkah rhoek tah Paphos lamloh nong uh tih Pamphylia kah Perga la pawk uh. Tedae Johan tah amih taeng lamloh mael tih Jerusalem la bal.
14 And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.
Amih ngawn tah Perga lamloh cet uh tih Pisidia kah Antiok la pawk uh. Tedae Sabbath hnin ah tah tunim la kun uh tih ngol uh.
15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”
Olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek kah cabu te taenah a boeih phoeiah amih te tamtaeng loh a tah tih, “Ka manuca neh ka hlang rhoek, pilnam ham thaphonah olka te nangmih taengah pakhat khaw a om atah thui uh,” a ti nah.
16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
Te dongah Paul loh pai tih kut a cavoih phoeiah, “Israel hlang rhoek neh Pathen aka rhih rhoek, hnatun uh lah.
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.
Israel pilnam kah Pathen loh a pa rhoek he ana tuek dongah Egypt kho ah yinlai la aka om pataeng pilnam la a pomsang. Te dongah ni a khui lamkah amih te a ban neh a sang la a doek.
18 He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
Te phoeiah amih te kum likip tluk khosoek ah a parhaeng.
19 And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
Kanaan kho kah namtu parhih te a hlak tih a khohmuen neh kum yali sawmnga khuiah m'phaeng.
20 All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
Te phoeiah laitloekkung rhoek neh tonghma Samuel taeng duela a paek.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Manghai a hoe uh vaengah Benjamin koca hlang pakhat, Kish capa Saul te amih ham kum sawmli khuiah Pathen loh a paek.
22 After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’
Anih a khoe phoeiah a manghai la David te a thoh pah. Anih te, “Ka ko aka tong hlang, Jesse capa David he ka hmuh. Ka kongaih he anih loh boeih a saii bitni,” a ti tih a phong.
23 From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.
A olkhueh bangla anih kah tiingan te ni Pathen loh Israel ham khangkung Jesuh la a poe sak.
24 Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
A kunnah hmai ah Johan kah a rhan he Israel pilnam boeih ham yutnah baptisma la om.
25 As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But He is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
Johan loh hma a khah vaengah, 'Kai ulae nan sui uh. Kai he moenih, Tedae kai hnukah ha pawk coeng ke. A kho dongkah khokhom hlam ham pataeng ka koih moenih,” a ti.
26 Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
Ka manuca neh ka hlang, Abraham imkhui koca rhoek neh nangmih khuiah Pathen aka rhih rhoek aw, mamih khangnah ol he han tueih coeng.
27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek neh a boei rhoek tah mangvawt uh. Te dongah Sabbath takuem kah a tae uh tonghma ol neh anih lai a tloek uh te soep coeng.
28 And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
Dueknah ham a paelnaehnah khaw hmu pawt dae anih te ngawn hamla Pilat taengah a bih uh.
29 When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
Anih kawng te boeih a daek soep uh phoeiah, thing dong lamloh a suh uh tih phuel la a khueh uh.
30 But God raised Him from the dead,
Tedae anih te Pathen loh duek khui lamkah a thoh.
31 and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.
Anih te Galilee lamkah Jerusalem la aka luei rhoek taengah khohnin te yet khuiah a phoe pah coeng. Amih tah pilnam taengah boeipa kah laipai la om uh coeng.
32 And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
A pa rhoek taengah aka thoeng olkhueh te ni nangmih taengah ka phong uh van.
33 He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’
Te te Pathen loh Jesuh a thoh sak dongah, tingtoeng lung dongkah a daek pabae vanbangla; Nang tah ka ca la na om. Tihnin ah kai loh nang kan sak coeng,” a ti te a ca rhoek mamih taengah soep coeng.
34 In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’
Anih te duek lamkah loh a thoh dongah pocinah la bal ham cai voel pawh. Te dongah, “Uepom David kah olcim te nangmih taengah kam paek ni, “tila a thui pah.
35 So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
Hmuen tloe ah khaw, “Na hlangcim te pocinah tong sak ham na paek moenih,” a ti tangloeng.
36 For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.
Amah tuetang vaengah David loh Pathen kah mangtaengnah te a bi. A ih vaengah a napa rhoek taengla khoem uh tih pocinah a tong.
37 But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
Tedae Pathen loh a thoh te tah pocinah tong pawh.
38 Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
Ka hlang rhoek neh ka manuca rhoek, nangmih taengah khaw mingpha la om saeh. Anih rhang neh nangmih taengah tholh khodawkngainah khaw, Moses kah olkhueng dongah na tang uh thai pawt boeih te a doek tangloeng coeng.
39 Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
Aka tangnah rhoek tah anih rhangneh boeih tang uh coeng.
40 Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:
Te dongah tonghma rhoek kah a thui loh n'thoeng thil pawt ham mah ngaithuen uh.
41 ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”
Pahoeh palaeh rhoek aw, ming uh lamtah, nangmih tue vaengah ka saii bibi ham ngaihmang khobing neh milh uh nawn. khat khat loh nangmih taengah hang hoe lalah khaw tekah bibi te na tangnah uh tlaih moenih,” a ti nah.
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.
A bal uh vaengah tahae kah olka he a laklo kah Sabbath vaengah amih taengah thui sak ham caeltueih rhoek te a cael uh.
43 After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Tunim kah aka phih uh Judah rhoek neh poehlip aka bawk rhoek loh Paul neh Barnabas te muep a vai uh. Te dongah amih te a uen tih Pathen kah lungvatnah khuiah rhaeh rhong ham a koilaw uh.
44 On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Sabbath a pha bal vaengah vang pum banghui loh Boeipa olka hnatun ham tingtun uh.
45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.
Hlangping te Judah rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah kohlopnah neh muep hah uh. Te dongah Paul kah a thui te a tloelh uh tih a soehsal uh.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Te vaengah Paul neh Barnabas loh sayalh la, “Pathen kah olka te thui lamhma ham nangmih taengah om tangkik. Te te na tueihno uh parhi vaengah dungyan hingnah kah amih lai na tloek khaw na tiing uh moenih. Namtom taengla ka mael uh coeng ne. (aiōnios g166)
47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
Te dongah Boeipa loh, 'Namtom rhoek taengah vangnah neh diklai khobawt due khangnah la na om ham nang kan khueh,’ tila mamih ng'uen bal coeng,” a ti rhoi.
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Namtom rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah omngaih uh tih Boeipa olka te a thangpom uh. Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih tah dungyan hingnah ham mop la om uh. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.
Te dongah Boeipa kah olka loh paeng tom la thang.
50 The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.
Tedae ak bawk nu hlangcong rhoek neh khopuei kah hlang lamhma rhoek te Judah rhoek loh a vueh uh tih Paul neh Barnabas te hnaemtaeknah neh a puengpuelh uh. Te phoeiah amih rhoi te a vaang khui lamloh a haek uh.
51 So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
Te dongah amih te a kho dongkah tangdik a khoek thil tih Ikonium la pawk rhoi.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Hnukbang rhoek khaw omngaihnah, Mueihla Cim neh baetawt uh.
