Acts 13
1 The church at Antioch had prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the childhood friend of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
Entiok chaas ni khowah nyia nyootsootte eje angta: Erah loong ah langla Barnabaas, Simoon (mimak ih men rumta), Lusius (Siren nawa angta), Manaen (Kobono Herod ih haakpanta), nyia Sool loong ah ang rumta.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart Barnabas and Saul to do the work I've called them to.”
Erah loong ah ih samurangsoom tong rumta doh, Esa Chiiala ih baat rumta, “Barnabaas nyia Sool ngah ih tiim raangtaan ih poon nyuutang, erah moot ah moot suh danje an.”
3 After they had fasted, prayed, and placed their hands on them in blessing, they sent them on their way.
Neng loong ah samurangsoom ah tong rum ano rang ah soom ih rumta, eno nengnyi khoh ni taajoh rum ano daapkaat rumta.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, directed by the Holy Spirit, went to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Esa Chiiala ih kaat thuk nyu ano, Barnabaas nyia Sool Seleukia ni kanyu ano Juuloot ni Sipras hah ni daansoon kanyuuta.
5 Arriving at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their assistant.
Salamis ni thoknyu ano, Jehudi rangsoomnok ni Rangte jengkhaap baatkaat nyuuta. Nengnyi damdi Joon Maak ah nengnyi roong chosok suh waksiit nyuuta.
6 They traveled throughout the island and eventually came to Paphos. There they found a Jewish magician, a false prophet by the name of Bar-jesus.
Paphos maang thokthok juuloot ni hah maathan angta erah di tumkhoom jomrumta, erah di Jehudi nok hah maantaan wasiit heh men ah Bar-Jesus, ngeh ih men rumta warah chomui jomrumta, erah mina rah ih ngah khowah ngeh ih kachaangta.
7 He was close to the governor, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. Sergius Paulus invited Barnabas and Saul to come and visit him since he wanted to hear the word of God.
Eno erah mih ah langla juuloot dowa kobono joonte angta, kobono ah men Sergias Paulus ngeh ih angta eno erah mina ah rapne ejat mih angta. Erah warah ih Pool nyia Barnabaas ah heh reeni Rangte jengkhaap boichaat suh poon nyuuta.
8 But the magician Elymas (his Greek name) opposed them, trying to prevent the governor from trusting in God.
Enoothong maantaan Elimas (Erah men ah Grik jengkhaap lam ih menha) ah ih tanghaam ih nyuuta, timnge liidoh, kobono ih nengnyi jengkhaap ah phomok hanpi ah ngeh ih samthunta.
9 Saul, also called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and looked straight at him.
Eno Sool, Pool ngeh ih uh poon kah ih rumta warah Esa Chiiala te angta; Sool ih maantaan taangko ramram ih sok
10 “You are full of deception and all kinds of evil, you son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right! Will you never give up perverting the Lord's true ways?
ano liita, “An Hakhoh luuwang sah! Mootse kaatse mathan ah erah an raangtaan ih piiara tola. An tenthun mongtham ni ethih totoh thun hu, erah thoidi Teesu tiit ami ah eki eki ih deenbaat hu!
11 Look, the Lord's hand is on you and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for some time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell on him, and he had to find someone who could lead him by the hand.
Amamah doh Teesu ih, edook ih hoon thuk ho eno rangwu latup thang ih pootsiit ang uh.” Lakdamdam di Elimas mik ah nakdat eta, eno heh lak nah joh ano diisiitte taat tum taajota.
12 When the governor saw what happened he trusted in God, amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
Erah tup ano kobono ih ehanhan ih hanpiita; Teesu tiit nyootsoot nyuuta suh rapne ih paatjaata.
13 Then Paul and those with him sailed from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, while John left them and went back to Jerusalem.
Sool nyia heh joonte loong ah Paphos nawa Pamphilia ko Perga ngeh ih samnuthung esiit angta di juulam ih daansoon wang rumta, Joon Maak ah erah hah dowa neng ah thiinhaat rum ano Jerusalem ni ngaak wangta.
14 They went through Perga and on to Antioch of Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and were seated.
Neng loong ah Perga nawa Pisidia hadaang Entiok ni thok rum ano, Jehudi naangtongsa ja Jehudi rangsoomnok ni tong karumta.
15 After the readings from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent them a message saying, “Brothers, please share with the congregation any words of encouragement you may have.”
Moses Hootthe nyia Khowah loong ih raangthiinta ah weh rum ano, Jehudi rangsoomnok dowa saahaap loong ah ih neng suh maatbaat rumta: “Nga phono loong, noksong paangmeh suh chaankot jengkhaap je abah jeng an.”
16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand to get their attention, and began speaking. “Men of Israel, and all of you who have reverence for God, listen to me.
Pool ah toonchap ano, heh lak ah jap damdi jengta: “Ani songtongte Ijirel nok hah nyia Ranglajatte joon awaan loong; nga jeng ah boichaat thaak an!
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our forefathers, and gave our people prosperity during their stay in the land of Egypt. Then with his mighty power he led them out of Egypt,
Ijirel mina loong Rangte ih sengte sengwah loong ah Ijip ni nokmah wensang eh songtong kaat suh danje rumta eno erah ni songtong tokdi rapne eh jaat thuk rumta. Rangte ih Ijip hah nawa hechaan hephaan nawa ih doksiit rumta,
18 and he patiently dealt with them in the desert for about forty years.
eno paang rookbaji heh ih phisaang hah ni rapne ih naan rum ano sokboi riikoi rumta.
19 After he had overthrown seven nations living in the land of Canaan, God divided their land among the Israelites and gave it to them to inherit. This took about four hundred and fifty years.
Rangte ih hah sinat ah jenthuk rum ano Kanaan hah ni hah changte eh hoonthuk rumta.
20 Then he provided them with judges as leaders until the time of the prophet Samuel.
Chaabaji rookbangnga paang lidi kok semsong rumta. Erah lih adi, Samuel khowah maang dongka di neng mat hoonte nyia tiit hoonte ah dong thukta.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.
Eno Luuwang suk rum kano, Rangte ih Benjamin kuh awang dowa Kis sah Sool ah neng Luuwang paang rookbaji raangtaan ih ang thukta.
22 Then God removed Saul, and made David their king. God approved of David, saying ‘I found David the son of Jesse to be a man according to my own heart; he will do everything I intend.’
Sool ah dokphan ano, Rangte ih Dewid ah Luuwang ang thukta. Rangte ih amah liita: ‘Ngah ih ese chohang mina ah langla Jese sah Dewid, ngah ih tiim li ang erah mootkaat ah heh kah ah.’
23 Jesus is David's descendant; he is the Savior that God promised to bring to Israel.
Dewid sutom Jisu ah, Rangte ih heh kakham jun ih Ijirel mina puipangte ang thukta.
24 Before Jesus came, John announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Jisu maang raara di, Joon ih Ijirel mina loong asuh baat rumta, maama rangdah ah sekthun ano juutem theng.
25 As John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the one you're looking for. But after me one is coming whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie.’
Eno Joon ih juutem rum ano miloong asuh cheng rumta, ‘Sen ih ngasuh o ngeh ih thun hali? Sen ih bansok han ah ngah tah angkang. Boichaat an! Nga lidoh Heh raaha, ngah bah heh lasong khook haattha uh tah angkang.’
26 My brothers, children of Abraham and those of you who have reverence for God: the message of this salvation has been sent to us!
“Abraham sutom satoom, Ijirel phoh ano loong, nyia aadi Ranglajatte o mina Rangte rangsoomte eh hoon lan loong asuh jenglang: Khopiiroidong tiit ah seng raangtaan ih kaat thuk hala!
27 The people living in Jerusalem and their leaders didn't recognize Jesus or understand the words spoken by the prophets that are read every Sabbath. In fact they fulfilled the prophetic words by condemning him!
Jerusalem ni songte loong nyia neng mihak phokhoh loong ebah neng Pangte ah tajatka, adoleh khowah loong ih raangthiinta le ah naangtongsa rookweh weh rumha ah tajat rumka. Erabah uh khowah jengkhaap ah amiisak ih angla, neng ih Jisu ah kaanju ih rumha.
28 Even though they couldn't find any evidence to sentence him to death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Jisu ah tiim thoilam doh tek haat theng ah lajat rumkaano, Pilat suh tek haat etheng ngeh ih baat rumta.
29 After they had fulfilled everything predicted that they would do to him, they took him down from the cross and buried him in a tomb.
Erah lih adi jirep ah Rangteele ni ban raangthiinta likhiik Jisu ah bangphak dowa datthiin rum ano beng rumta.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Eno Rangte ih Jisu ah tek nawa ngaaksaat ih thukta,
31 and he appeared over the course of many days to those who had followed him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to the people.
eno Galili nawa Jerusalem ni heh damdi roong kaatte loong ah reeni hedop hedop dongkhoomta. Amadi neng loong ah Ijirel mina raangtaan ih heh tiit baatte angla.
32 We are here to bring to you the good news of the promise that God made to our forefathers,
Eno aadi sen suh Ruurang Ese ah thok hui hali; sengte sengwah loong asuh Rangte ih kakhamta jun ih kot ih hali; amadi hesuh hesah loong ah raangtaan ih Jisu ah tek nawa ngaakthing ih thukta. Dewid Bong leedap enyi ni raangha, ‘An nga Sah; chiinnyah ngah an Wah eh hoon lang.’
33 that he has now fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus from the dead. As it is written in Psalm 2: ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’
34 God raised him from the dead, never to die again, as he indicated by saying, ‘I will give you what is holy and trustworthy, as I promised to David.’
Eno Rangte ih tek nawa ngaaksaat tiit ah baatta, mangbeng nah mabah uh tachaamka; ‘Ngah ih Dewid damdi kakham tang ah, Ngah ih romseetam kot ih rumha.’
35 As another psalm says, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Eho ni uh heh ih li eha, ‘An ih toongtang laksuh ah mabah uh beng nah tachaam thukko,’
36 But David died, after he had done what God wanted in his own time, and he was buried with his ancestors, and his body decayed.
Heh roidong di Dewid ah Rangte tenthun jun ih heh moot ah mokah ano tiita, erah lih adi hete hewah damdi bengkaat ano heh sak ah chaam eta.
37 The one God raised from the dead saw no decay.
Enoothong tek nawa ngaaksaat thukta warah bah Rangte ih emah chaam thukmuh.
38 My brothers, I want you to understand that we're telling you that through this man sins are forgiven.
Ijirel phoh ano loong, Jisu mendoh ba sen rangdah ah biin anaan choh an ngeh ih baat hi; erah raangtaan ih Moses Hootthe jun di biin anaan lachote loong asuh Jisu suh laalom ano biin anaan choh ah ngeh ih baattaan hi.
39 Through him everyone who trusts in him is made morally right from all that is wrong—in a way that you could never be set right by the law of Moses.
40 Make sure that what the prophets said doesn't happen to you:
Erah raangtaan ih, maama teewah ih jat etheng, khowah loong ih baatta ah likhiik sen loong ah emah naktoom ang an:
41 ‘You who are scornful, look in amazement, and die! For what I'm doing in your lifetime is something that you could never believe, even if someone told you!’”
Sok thaak an teemaang mangda loong! Paatja anno ti an! Chiinnyah ngah reelang ah erah sen ih tabaam hanpi kan, o mina ih taat deen jaangbaat han bah uh ah!”
42 As they were leaving, the people pleaded with them to tell them more the next Sabbath.
Pool nyia Barnabaas Jehudi rangsoomnok nawa dokkhoom kanyuuta adi, naangtongsa ja boot nyootsoot esuh we ngaakwang ih hansih ngeh ih miloong ah ih phanbaat rumta.
43 After the meeting in the synagogue, many of the Jews and the converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas who spoke with them, encouraging them to continue to hold on to the grace of God.
Loongkhoon theng nawa miloong ah tiisoon kano, Jehudi mih nyia Ranglajatte hantek mina Rangte rangsoomte eh hoon rumta eno Pool nyia Barnabaas lilih ih khoom rumta. Pool nyia Barnabaas ih Rangte minchan doh songtong an ngeh ih chaankot jengkhaap ah renbaat ih nyuuta.
44 The following Sabbath almost the whole town turned out to hear the word of God.
Jehudi naangtongsa saalih adi samnuh dowa miloong ah Teesu tiitkhaap tiit boichaat ra rumtaha.
45 However, when the Jews saw the crowds, they became extremely jealous, contradicting what Paul was saying and cursing him.
Mih khoonthokta loong ah tup rum ano Jehudi nok hah loong ah ih miksuk ih rumta, Pool jengkhaap thoidi rookmui rum ano kaanju ih rumta.
46 So Paul and Barnabas spoke out strongly, saying “We had to speak the word of God to you first. But now that you're rejecting it—you're deciding that you're not worthy of eternal life—well now we're turning to the foreigners. (aiōnios g166)
Erabah uh Pool nyia Barnabaas ih ehanhan ih lacho laphaan ih baattaan nyu ano li rumta: “Rangte jengkhaap ah sen suh phangbaatjih angta. Enoothong sen ih lakap thoidi nyia khopiiroidong choh theethe tah angke li phiino, Ranglajatte jiinko kati. (aiōnios g166)
47 That's what the Lord has told us to do: ‘I've made you a light to the foreigners, and through you salvation will go to the ends of the earth.’”
Seng Teesu ih kotahe jengdang ah langla amah: ‘Ranglajatte loong raangtaan ih sen loong ah weephaak hoon rum taha, timnge liidi arah mongrep dowa loong ah toom puipang rum asuh ah.’”
48 When the foreigners heard this they were overjoyed, praising the Lord's word, and all those chosen for eternal life trusted in God. (aiōnios g166)
Ranglajatte loong ah erah japchaat rum ano, rapne ih tenroon rumta eno Teesu jengkhaap ah phoongpha ih rumta; o mina latek roidong chote ah erah loong ah Kristaan eh hoon rumta. (aiōnios g166)
49 So God's word was spread throughout the region.
Erah hah adi Teesu Jengkhaap ah noongrep ni ruurangta.
50 But the Jews incited the prominent religious women and leaders of the city to persecute Paul and Barnabas, and had them expelled from their territory.
Enoothong Jehudi loong ah ih samnuthung dowa Rangte rangsoomte mihak phokhoh nyia Ranglajatte minuh ejat eje loong ah rapne ih dantak rumta. Pool nyia Barnabaas ah miksuk siikhaam ih rum ano erah hah dowa phanjoot haat ih rumta.
51 So they shook the dust off their feet against them as a sign of protest, and went on to Iconium.
Kaamwah wanyi ah ih neng jeng phaaki nengnyi lah dowa botla ah jaanak nyu ano Ikoniam ko ih kanyuuta.
52 And the believers continued to be filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Entiok dowa kristaan loong ah sak ni Esa Chiiala kaat kohaano tenroon ih tong rumta.
