Acts 13

1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, 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 doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.

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 prayer and going without food they put their hands on them, and 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 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they went by ship 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 at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them.

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 when they had gone through all the island to Paphos, they came across a certain wonder-worker and false prophet, a Jew 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 Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of 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 Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler 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 But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said,

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

10 O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from 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, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.

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 ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder 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 Then Paul and those who were with him went by ship from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and there John went away from them and came back 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 they, going through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and were seated.

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

15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the Synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a word of comfort for the people, say on.

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 And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear.

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 Israel made selection of our fathers, lifting the people up from their low condition when they were living in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm took them out of 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 put up with their ways in the waste land.

Taciang senneal ngam sung ah kum sawmli kiim anvak hi.

19 And having put to destruction seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the land for their heritage for about four hundred and fifty years.

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

20 And after these things he gave them judges, till the time of 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 Then at their request for a king, God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the family of Benjamin, who was their king 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 having put him on one side, he made David their king, to whom he gave witness, saying, I have taken David, the son of Jesse, a man dear to my heart, who will do all my pleasure.

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 this man's seed has God given to Israel a Saviour, even Jesus, as he gave his word;

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

24 For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart.

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 when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

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 My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is 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 the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging 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 no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.

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 done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.

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 gave him back from the dead:

Ahihang Pathian in Ama sia thina pan thokiksak hi:

31 And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before 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 are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the 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 Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.

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 And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain 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 Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.

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

36 Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:

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, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.

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

38 And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:

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 through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.

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 So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;

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

41 See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear 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 when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after.

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 when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in 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 Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to 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 such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.

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 Then Paul and Barnabas without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered to the 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 so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for salvation to the ends 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 And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith. (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 went through all the country.

Topa thu sia tua ngamsung theampo ah kizel hi.

50 But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts.

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, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came 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 full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.

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