Acts 8
1 Saul approved of his killing. On that very day terrible persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and everyone except for the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
Stephen tek haat thukte ah Sool angta. Erah sa adi Jerusalem hah ni kristaan loong ah rapne ih siiwi rumta. Samaria nyia Judia hah noongrep ni Kristaan loong ah tiisoon rumta, Heliphante loong ah ba soon muh.
2 (Some faithful followers of God buried Stephen, with great mourning.)
Rangte jatte mina loong ah ih Stephen mang ah rongrongwah ih hu ari damdi bengkaat rumta.
3 But Saul set about destroying the church, going from house to house, dragging both men and women off to prison.
Sool ih chaas jeeje ah thet haat taat chungta; nokrookwet ni tumkhoom ano, minuh miwah Jisu suh hanpiite loong ah thoontang dok hoom kaat ano phaatak ni sakkaat rumta.
4 Those who had been scattered spread the word wherever they went.
Noongrep ni tiisoonta hanpiite loong ah ih Rangte tiit ah tumbaat rumta.
5 Philip went to the town of Samaria, and told them about the Messiah.
Samaria hah ko samnuthung longthoon ni tongte miloong asuh Philip ih Kristo tiit ah baat kaatta.
6 When the crowds heard what Philip was saying and saw the miracles he did they all paid attention to what he was telling them.
Philip ih baat rumta tiitkhaap ah mih lomkhoonta loong ah ih rapniine ih thaangchaat rumta, heh jeng boichaat rum adi Philip ih paatjaajih loong ah reeraang nyia noisok rumta.
7 Many were freed from possession by evil spirits that screamed as they came out, and many who were lame or disabled were healed.
Chiithih laakhah ah mina loong sak nawa riihu leh doksoon eta, erah damdi huimu nyia ekoong loong ah de ih rumta.
8 The people who lived in the city were overjoyed.
Erah thoidi erah hadaang adi rapne tenroon woksoon ih tong rumta.
9 Now there was a man named Simon who lived in the city. He practiced sorcery. He claimed that he was someone very important, and had astounded the people of Samaria
Erah samnuh hah adi Simoon ngeh ih mih wasiit angta, heh ih Samaria dowa mina loong asuh pootsiit maantaan kanoisok rumta. Heh ih liita ngah mina elong esiit,
10 so they all paid attention to him. From the lowest to the highest in society they said, “This man is ‘God the Great Power.’”
eno erah samnuthung dowa, kurep wangrep ih, heh jeng ah naaririh ih boichaat rumta. Miloong ah ih liita, heh jiinni juuba “Rangte chaan aphaan “Eloongthoon Chaan aphaan” ah jeela.
11 They were impressed by him because he had amazed them with his magic for so long.
Miloong asuh maantaan ah rekamdook ih noisok rum kano heh jeng boichaatte totoh ang rumta.
12 But when they believed in what Philip told them about the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Enoothong Philip ih Rangmong Hasong nyia Jisu Kristo ruurang ese tiit ah baat rum kano, hanpi ih rumta, eno minuh miwah loong ah juutem rumta.
13 Simon too believed and was baptized. He accompanied Philip, amazed at the miraculous signs and wonders he saw.
Simon ih nep hanpiita; eno heh uh juutemta, erah lih adi Philip damdam tong ano paatjaajih ah noisok kano Simon ah rapne ih paatjaata.
14 When the apostles back in Jerusalem heard that the people of Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to visit them.
Kamwah loong ah Jerusalem ni angrum adi Samaria nok hah ih Rangte jengkhaap kap eha ngeh ih japchaat rum ano, neng reeni Pitar nyia Joon kaat thuk rumta.
15 When they arrived they prayed for the converts in Samaria to receive the Holy Spirit.
Erah ni thoknyu ano, Kristaan loong sak nah Esa Chiiala toom pah ah ngeh ih rang ah soomkoh ih nyuuta.
16 The Holy Spirit hadn't come to any of these converts yet—they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Esa Chiiala ah o sak ni uh maangpat angra taha; Teesu mendi juutem luulu phang kap rumta.
17 The apostles placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Pitar nyia Joon ih neng khoh ni nengnyi lak ih tajoh nyu ano rangsoom kot kano ba Esa Chiiala ah pah ra taha.
18 When Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given when the apostles placed their hands on people, he offered them money.
Kamwah loong ah ih Kristaan loong khoni joh ano rangsoom kot kano Chiiala pah arah Simon ih japtupta. Erah thoidi Simon ih Pitar nyia Joon suh ngun ah konyu ano
19 “Give me this power, too,” he asked them, “so that anyone I place my hands on will receive the Holy Spirit.”
baat nyuuta, “Arah chaan ah ngasuh nep koh weehe tih, mikhoh nah taajoh angdoh Esa Chiiala toom pah raaha suh ah.”
20 “May your money be destroyed together with you for thinking God's gift is something that can be bought!” Peter replied.
Eno Pitar ih ngaak liita, “Rangte lakkot ah ngun ih reh ang ngeh ih thun hu bah, an ngun ah hui uno soolam nah toom wang uh!
21 “You're not part of any of this. None of this work belongs to you, because in God's eyes your attitude is totally wrong.
Rangte mootkaat nah seng damdoh an tami room ru, timnge liidoh Rangte miksok di an tenthun ah kaateng tah angko.
22 Repent of your evil ways! Pray to the Lord and ask forgiveness for thinking like this.
Erah raangtaan, an ih sekthun ih uh, an tenthun mongtham ethih thunhu, eno erah likhiik ethih thunhu ah biin anaan toom eh ho asuh Teesu rangsoom uh.
23 I can see that you are full of bitter envy, and chained down by your sin.”
An thidokdok mih siikhaamte nyia rangdah khui ni ang uh rah tup hala.”
24 “Please pray for me, that nothing you've said may happen to me!” Simon replied.
Simon ih Pitar nyia Joon suh li nyuuta, set ih Teesu suh rangsoom koh weehe tih, erah li hansih ah likhiik nga taangnah nak toom thok weethuk ha.”
25 After they had given their testimony and shared the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, sharing the good news in many Samaritan villages along the way.
Nengnyi khiikkhi nyia Teesu jengkhaap ah baat nyu ano, Jerusalem ni ngaakwang nyuuta. Samaria ni hadaang hantek ni Ruurang Ese tiit ah lam jangtang ih baatwan nyuuta.
26 An angel of the Lord told Philip, “Get ready and go south to the desert road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
Teesu rangsah ih Philip suh liita, “Jerusalem dowa ih Gaja ko kala lam adoh juumeh ko ih kaat suh khookhaam uh” (Arah lam adi mih amadi tah khoomka.)
27 So Philip set out, and met an Ethiopian man, a eunuch who had a high position in the service of the Kandake, Queen of Ethiopia. He was her chief treasurer. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship there, and
Erah baat kano, Philip ah khookhaam ano dokkhom kata. Eno Ethopia wangcha nuh ngun thiinte, daamhun wasiit, heh nok ni ngaakwangte chomuita. Erah warah Jerusalem ni Rangte rangsoom kah ano mokkaari ni nok ni ngaak wangte angta. Heh lamni soon adi, Isaia khowah ih raang arah leedap weta.
28 was returning from his trip, sitting in his chariot. He was reading out loud from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
29 The Spirit told Philip, “Go over close to the chariot.”
Esa Chiiala ih Philip suh baatta, “Mokkaari ko kah uno heh re tiittiit ih chap kah uh.”
30 So Philip ran over, and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. “Do you understand what you're reading?” Philip asked him.
Philip soon kata adi khowah Isaia leedap banweh arah japchaat kata. Eno Philip ih chengta, “An ih wehu adi tiimjih liiha jat nih hu?”
31 “How can I, unless someone explains it?” the man replied. He invited Philip to get in and sit beside him.
Saahaap ah ih ngaakbaatta, “O ih uh lahuk sekbaat rangbah mamah ma jat ang?” Eno Philip ah mokkaari adi heh damdi roongtong suh duupoonta.
32 The Scripture passage he was reading was this: “He was led like a sheep to be slaughtered. Like a lamb is silent in front of his shearer, he didn't say a word.
Rangteele erah weta adi amah raangta: Saap ah dook esuh siitkaat ah likhiik, saapsah heh roon sui adi lahu lari thang kah ang ah likhiik, heh khaapsiit taan uh jengmuh.
33 He was humiliated and denied justice. No one can speak of his descendants, for his life came to an end.”
Heh kaanju ih rumta, tiim lathika di thetbaat rumta. Heh sutoom satoom loong tiit ah o ih uh tajen baatka, timnge liidi arah hah adi heh roidong ah thoon ih kata.”
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, who is the prophet talking about? Is it himself, or someone else?”
Saahaap ah ih Philip suh chengta, “Baat thaak hang, khowah ih liiha ah o suh liiha? Heh teewah tiit tam wahoh tiit baat ha?”
35 Philip started explaining, beginning from this Scripture, telling him about Jesus.
Eno Philip ih phangbaatta; Rangteele erah dowa phangbaat ano, Jisu Ruurang Ese tiit ah baatta.
36 As they continued on, they came to a stretch of water. The eunuch said, “Look, there's water here—why shouldn't I be baptized?”
Philip nyia saahaap ah lamdat ko ih daatsoon kanyu adi, joisah esiit japtup nyuuta, eno saahaap ah ih liita, “Arah di ju cheesah je ah. Ngah laang ah juutem suh tanih nook kang?”
Philip ih liita, “An ten nawa ih jen hanpi ubah juutem ah ejen tem ih uh.” “Hanpi ih hang,” heh ih ngaak baatta; “Nga ih Jisu Kristo ah Rangte Sah ngeh ih hanpi ehang.”
38 He ordered that the chariot be stopped. Philip and the eunuch both went down into the water and Philip baptized him.
Saahaap ah ih mokkaari ah tangchap thukta, eno nengnyi Philip ju ko ih daatkhoom kanyu ano, Philip ih heh ju ah temta.
39 When they came out of the water the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again, but he continued on his way full of joy. Philip found himself at Azotus.
Ju nawa dokkhoom nyuuha di, Teesu Chiiala ih Philip ah soonsiitta. Saahaap ah ih Philip ah takah chotupta, eno tenroon woksoon heh lamko ih wangta.
40 He spread the good news in all the towns along the way until he arrived at Caesarea.
Philip heh teewah Ajotaas ni ang arah japtupta; eno Ruurang Ese tiit ah hadaang rep ni lam jangtang ih Kaisiria maang thokthok ih baat wanta.
