Acts 11
1 The apostles and brothers in Judea heard that foreigners had also accepted the word of God.
Judea ram pumpuia tîrtonngei le iempungei hah Jentailngei khom Pathien chong an rieta an lei modôm zoi.
2 When Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, those who believed circumcision was still essential argued with him.
Peter hah Jerusalema a sea, hanchu sertan ngei han ama an lei dema, a kôm,
3 “You went into the homes of uncircumcised men, and ate with them,” they said.
“Sertanloi Jentailngei ina nu tunga an kôma sâk khom na sâk ngâi!” an tia.
4 Peter began to explain to them everything that had happened.
Masikin Peter'n abul renga anrêngin aroi omtie murdi a misîrpe ngâia.
5 “While I was in the town of Joppa I was praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. Something that looked like a large sheet was being let down by its four corners from heaven, and it came down to me.
“Joppa khopuiliena chubai ko tho lâiin, inlârna ku mua. Puon chêk lientak anghan arikil minlia inthung invân renga juong musum ko kôla juong om ku mua.
6 When I looked inside I saw animals, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds.
Mahan anâikikin ke enna insûng sa le ram sa, rôpa intol ngâi le vângei ku mua.
7 Then I heard a voice that told me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’
Masuole chong mirîng ki rieta ko kôm, ‘Inthoi roh Peter; that inla sâk roh,’ a tia.
8 But I replied, ‘Absolutely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth!’
Hannirese keiman ‘Nimak Pumapa! ânthieng loi le ânnim ite ka bâia lût ngâi mak’ ki tia.
9 The voice from heaven spoke again, and said, ‘Don't you call unclean what God has made clean!’
Invân renga rôl han avoiniknân, ‘Pathien'n ânthieng a ti sai hi nangman inthieng mak tino roh!’ a ti nôka.
10 This happened three times, and then it was all taken back into heaven.
Ma anghan voithum ajuong oma masuole azoinataka chu invân tieng lâk pâiin a oma.
11 At that very moment three men were standing in front of the house where we were staying. They had been sent from Caesarea to see me.
Ma zora tak han Caesarea renga mi inthum hongtîra om ngei hah ko omna in an hong tunga.
12 The Spirit told me to go with them, and not to worry about who they were. These six brothers here also went with me, and we went into the man's house.
Ratha'n mulung inlakloia anni ngei jûi ngei rangin mi rila. Hi iempu uruk Joppa renga Caesarea hong ngei khom min jûisa kin rêngin Cornelius ina kin lûta.
13 He explained to us how an angel had appeared to him in his house, who told him, ‘Send someone to Joppa, and fetch Simon, also called Peter,
Ama han a ina vântîrton inding a mua, vântîrton han a kôma, Joppa khuoa mi tîr inla mi inkhat a riming Simon Peter an ti hah hong minkoi roh.
14 who will tell you what you need to hear so you can be saved—you and your whole household.’
Ama han chong nang misîrpe a ta, ama chong han nangma le ni insûngmingei sânminjôkin om nin tih, tiin khom mi ril sa.
15 When I started speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as happened to us in the beginning.
Chongril ko hong phut lehan motona ei chunga ajuongtung anghan Ratha Inthieng an chunga ajuongtunga.
16 Then I remembered what the Lord said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
Male Pumapa'n a ti ‘John'n tui le mi a baptis ania, nangni chu Ratha Inthiengin baptis la chang nin tih,’ a ti hah ki rietsuok nôka.
17 Since God gave them the same gift as he gave us when we trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ, what power did I have to oppose God?”
Pumapa Jisua Khrista ei iema ama chongpêk nanâk hah Jentailngei khom a pêk ani ti ânthâr ani. Kei hih tumo ki ni, Pathien khap rang bôkpu hi!” a tia.
18 After they had heard this explanation, they didn't argue with him anymore, and praised God, saying, “Now God has granted the opportunity to repent and have eternal life to foreigners as well.”
Ma chong hah an riet lechu dem khâi mak ngei, Pathien an minpâka, “Pathien'n Jentailngei khom insîra ring rangin zora inchum a pêk ani hi!” an tia.
19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that happened when Stephen was killed, traveled all the way to Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch. They only spread the good news among the Jews.
Hanchu Stephan an that zora dûkmintongna sika chekinchâi ngei hah Phoenicia Ram, Cyprus tuikul le Antioch khuo dênin an sea Judangei kôm vai thurchi an rila.
20 But when some of them who were from Cyprus and Cyrene arrived in Antioch, they shared the good news with the Greeks too, telling them about the Lord Jesus.
Hannirese, iempu senkhat: Cyprus tuihuol le Cyrene a mingei hah Antioch'a an sea, Jentailngei kôm khom Thurchi Sa an misîra, Pumapa Jisua Thurchi Sa an rila.
21 The power of the Lord was with them and a large number trusted in the Lord and turned to him.
Pumapa ranakin a san ngeia, mi tamtakin an iema, Pumapa tieng an inhei zoia.
22 News about what had happened reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
Ma thurchi hah Jerusalema koiindang ngeiin an lei rieta, masikin Barnabas hah Antioch taka an tîra.
23 When he arrived and saw for himself how God's grace was working, he was delighted. He encouraged all of them to completely dedicate themselves to God and to stay true.
Ama hah a tungin chu mataka mingei Pathien'n satavur tie hah a mûn chu a râisân tataka, an mulungngei murdia Pathien taksônna om mindet rangin anrêngin a mohôk ngeia.
24 Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit, and put his whole trust in God. Many people were brought to the Lord.
Barnabas hah mi satak, Ratha Inthieng le iemna sip ania, masikin mi tamtak Pumapa tieng a tuong zoia.
25 Then Barnabas went on to Tarsus to look for Saul,
Hanchu Barnabas hah Saul rokin Tarsus khuoa a sea.
26 and when he found him, he took Saul back with him to Antioch. Over the course of the next year they worked together with the church, teaching the message to crowds of people. It was in Antioch that the believers were first called “Christians.”
A mu lehan Antioch tieng a hong tuonga, kum khat piel koiindangngei inkhômna an inchel ngâia, mi tamtak an minchu sa ngâi. Antioch'a han kêng iempungei hah Khristien an ti masatak.
27 It was during this time that some prophets went from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Ma zora han Dêipu senkhat ngei Jerusalem renga Antioch an sea.
28 One of them called Agabus stood up and gave a prophetic warning by the Spirit that there would be a terrible famine that would affect the known world. (This came true in the reign of Emperor Claudius.)
An lâia mi inkhat a riming Agabus ândinga rammuol pumpuia mâitâm natak chul atih, ti ratha min rietin a phuonga; ha mâitâm hah Claudius inlal lâiin atung zoi.
29 The believers decided to send funds to help the brothers that lived in Judea, with everyone giving according to what they had.
Ha anghan, ruoisingei han an thei lam chitin Judea rama iempungei kôm sanna muthuon rang an masata.
30 So they did this and sent the money with Barnabas and Saul to the church leaders there.
Ma hah an thoa masuole sum han koiindang upangei kôm pêk rangin Barnabas le Saul kuta an muthuon zoi.
