Acts 13
1 Now there were in the church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of 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 as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken 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 they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, 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 they being sent by the Holy Ghost, went to Seleucia: and from thence they 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 when they were come to Salamina, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also in the ministry.
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 the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesu:
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 proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired 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 Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking 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, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking 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 guile, and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceasest not 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 thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him, and going about, he sought some one 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, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord.
Tua zawkciang in ngam ukpa in a vawt te mu in um hi, Topa hilna sia lamdangsa mama hi.
13 Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, 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 they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they 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 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to 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 rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear 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 the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,
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 the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.
Taciang senneal ngam sung ah kum sawmli kiim anvak hi.
19 And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, 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 As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until 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 after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, 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 them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.
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 Of this man’s seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Pathian in ama kamciam bang in Israel te ngumtu David suan Jesus tungdingsak hi:
24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance 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 when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his 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 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you 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 they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.
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 finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.
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 things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.
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 up from the dead the third day:
Ahihang Pathian in Ama sia thina pan thokiksak hi:
31 Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present 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 declare unto you, that the promise which was 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 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: 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 And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.
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 And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt 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, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto 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 hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.
Ahihang Pathian in a thawkiksak pa sia, a pumpi muat ngawl hi.
38 Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
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 In him every one that believeth, is justified.
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 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:
Tua ahikom kamsang te sonkhol nate note tung ah hong thet thei ngawl natu in;
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it 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 went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.
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 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue 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 But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came 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 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.
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 said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn 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 hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost 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 And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, 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 country.
Topa thu sia tua ngamsung theampo ah kizel hi.
50 But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts.
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 their feet against them, 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 filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.
Taciang nungzui te sia lungdamna le Tha Thiangtho taw kidim uh hi.
