Acts 9
1 And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Sawluh naw Bawipa hnukläk jah mkyüh lü jah hnim khaia ngbüki naw,
2 And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and women of this way, 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 went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.
Acukba cit lü Damatet mlüh pei a pha law üng, khankhawa ka akvai cun angxita a peia vai law sawxatki.
4 And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Acunüng, Sawluh mdeka khana kyu lü, “Sawluh, Sawluh, i vai na na mkhuimkhaki ni?” tia kthai a ngjak.
5 Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
Sawluh naw, “Bawipa, nang u ni?” a ti. “Na mkhuimkha Jesuha ka kyaki ni; tia kthai a ngjak.
6 And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
Acunsepi tho law lü mlüh da cita, acunüng na pawh vai ni mtheh khaie ni” a ti.
7 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.
Acua a hlawnga cit hngakie naw kthai ngja u sepi, u am hmu u.
8 And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to 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 there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.
Mhnüp kthum khawdei am hmu lü i am eiaw lü veki.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. And he said: Behold I am here, 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 Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.
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 saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might 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 by many of this man, how much evil he hath 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 hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke 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 And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
Acunsepi, Bawipa naw, “Cita, Khyangmjükcee, sangpuxange ja Isarel khyangmjükcee venaka ka ngming cehpüi khaia ka xü ni.
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
“Ka ngminga phäha mkhuimkhanak ihlawka khamei khai tia ka ksing lawsak khai” a ti.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
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 as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.
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 when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at 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 Son 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 persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, 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 much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming 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 when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
Acunüng, asäng nghjawk se, Sawluh hnim khaiea Judahe nghmu u lü cengkie.
24 But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also 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 taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.
Acunsepi, axüisawe naw cehpüi u lü mthana vawh üng takie naw ngvawng üngkhyüh ami ju khyak.
26 And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing 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, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently 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 coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.
Acukba Sawluh cun Jerusalem khawa ami veia cit hü lü Bawipa ngming am ling lü ngthu pyenki.
29 He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.
Krik khyü pyenki Judahea veia ngthu pyen se, ngcupüikie naw, hnim khaie a ami bü.
30 Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
Acunüng, Jumeikie naw ami ksing law üng, Ketarih khawa cehpüi u lü Tasuh khawa ami tüihin u.
31 Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.
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, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at 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 Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.
Acua khyang mat, Eni ngming naki, xo lü kum khyet a ihnak üng ngjänki a hmu.
34 And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he 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 at Lydda and Saron, saw him: who were converted to the Lord.
Ludah mlüh ja Saron mlüha vekie naküt naw, Eni hmu u lü, Bawipa veia nghlatkie.
36 And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds 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 sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Acunüng, ani cun am mya lü thi se, a yawk cun mthi u lü ima khana ami mphän.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto 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 And Peter rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made 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 And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing 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 giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called 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 made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in 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 abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.
