Acts 8
1 And Saul consented to his death, and at that time, there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Hierusalem, and they were all scattered abroad thorowe the regions of Iudea and of Samaria, except the Apostles.
Sawluh naw Stephen ami hnim vai jah tängpüiki. Acuna mhnüp üng Jerusalem mlüha veki sangcim cun aktäa mkhuimkhanak kham lawki he; acunakyase, Ngsäe däk ve hüt u se, jumeikie naküt cun Judah ja Samarih hnea ngpyeng hükie.
2 Then certaine men fearing God, caried Steuen amongs them, to be buried, and made great lamentation for him.
Acunüng, Pamhnam jumkie naw, Stephen cun k’ut u lü, aktäa ami kya.
3 But Saul made hauocke of the Church, and entred into euery house, and drewe out both men and women, and put them into prison.
Acunüng, Sawluh naw sangcime aktäa a jah khuimkha, im naküt üng lut hü lü jumeikia nghnumi kpamie jah man lü jah kaih hü lü, thawngim üng a jah khyum.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went to and from preaching the worde.
Acunüng, pyeng hükia jumkie naw hne naküt üng cit u lü ngthu pyen hükie.
5 Then came Philip into the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them.
Philip cun Samarih hnea mlüh ktunga ju citki naw, Mesijaha mawng khyange veia a ju pyen.
6 And the people gaue heed vnto those things which Philippe spake, with one accorde, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
Khyange naw, ngja u lü Philip naw a mdana müncam phyaki he ami jah hmu üng, a ngthu pyen cun aktäa ami ngaih.
7 For vncleane spirits crying with a loud voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them: and many taken with palsies, and that halted, were healed.
Isetiakyaküng, khawksea jah venake ami k'um üngka naw khawyaie ngpyang u lü lut lawki he. A khaw kceke ja xokie pi ami daw law bea phäha kyaki.
8 And there was great ioy in that citie.
Acuna mlüh üngkae cun aktäa jekyaikie.
9 And there was before in the citie a certaine man called Simon, which vsed witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he himselfe was some great man.
Sihmon ngming nakia khyang mat veki; ani naw, ajana acuna mlüh üng, sui pawh lü Samarih khyange jah cäicatsak khawikia kyaki. “Kei cun khyang sawxat am ni” a ti.
10 To whome they gaue heede from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that great power of God.
Mlüha veki naküt khyang akdik akdäm naküt naw “Ani hin ‘Hlüngtaikia Johit’ tia ngthangkia Pamhnama Johit ni” ti lü a ngthu pyen cun mcek lü ngaikie.
11 And they gaue heed vnto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
A sui bilaw am, aksoa cäicat kphyaki he a ja bilawh khawha phäha, a ngthu cun aktäa ami münnak.
12 But assoone as they beleeued Philip, which preached the thinges that concerned the kingdome of God, and the Name of Iesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women.
Acunsepi, Pamhnama pe thangkdaw ja Jesuh Khritawa ngming thangkdaw Philipa pyen ami jum ja, nghnumi kpami Baptican khan lawki he.
13 Then Simon himselfe beleeued also and was baptized, and continued with Philippe, and wondred, when he sawe the signes and great miracles which were done.
Sihmon naw pi jum law hnga lü Baptican a kham law päng ja Philipa hlawnga ve lü, müncamkse ja müncamnak a jah pawh cun hmu lü cäiki.
14 Nowe when the Apostles, which were at Hierusalem, heard say, that Samaria had receiued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn.
Acunüng, Jerusalema vekia Ngsäe naw Samarih hnea khyange naw pi Pamhnama ngthu jumkie tia ami ksing law üng, ami veia Pita ja Johan ami jah tüih;
15 Which whe they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receiue the holy Ghost.
acu xawi ani ju pha üng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ami yahnak vaia ami jah ktaiyü pet.
16 (For as yet, hee was fallen downe on none of them, but they were baptized onely in the Name of the Lord Iesus.)
Am acun ham üng ta ua khana Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am pha law; Bawi Jesuha ngming am Baptican däk va khan hamkiea kyaki.
17 Then layd they their handes on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost.
Angsä xawi naw ami khana ani kut taih ni se, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim yaheikie.
18 And when Simon sawe, that through laying on of the Apostles hands the holy Ghost was giuen, he offred them money,
Acunüng, Ngsäea kut taiha phäha Ngmüimkhya Ngcim pha lawki ti cun Sihmon naw a hmuh. Acunüng ngui cun Pita ja Johana veia lawpüiki naw,
19 Saying, Giue mee also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay the handes, he may receiue the holy Ghost.
“Kei pi, khyange khana ka kut taih ngüse, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ami yahnak thei vaia johit na pe nia” ti lü a jah kthäh.
20 Then saide Peter vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obteined with money.
Pamhnama bäkhäknak cun a ngui am khyäi khaia a büa phäha, Pita naw, “Na xünak ja na ngui mulaia cit ni se,
21 Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this businesse: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God.
na mlung Pamhnama hmaia käh ngsungpyunkia kyase, hin üng käh na ngpüi hngaki, na ham pi am ve;
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickednes, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee.
acunakyase, na mkhyekatnak ngjut lü Bawipa veia ktaiyüa, acunüng, na mlung üng na ngaihnak ni mhlät khai ni.
23 For I see that thou art in the gall of bitternes, and in the bonde of iniquitie.
“Nang cun püi ng’eihnak am bebang lü mkhyekatnaka thawng kyuma na kyaki ti ksing veng” a ti.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye haue spoken, come vpon me.
Acunüng, Sihmon naw, nani pyen ka khana am a pha lawnak vaia, nangni naw Bawipa veia na ktaiyü pe nia” ti lü Pita ja Johan a jah mtheh.
25 So they, when they had testified and preached the worde of the Lord, returned to Hierusalem, and preached the Gospel in many townes of the Samaritans.
Acunüng, ani xawi naw saksi ja Bawipa ngthu ami ksingsak käna, Jerusalem mlüha citbeki xawi. Ani ceh sawa Samarih ngnam khawhah üng Thangkdaw sangki xawi.
26 Then the Angel of the Lord spake vnto Philip, saying, Arise, and goe towarde the South vnto the way that goeth downe from Hierusalem vnto Gaza, which is waste.
Bawipaa khankhawngsä mat naw Philipa veia, “Tho law lü Jerusalem üngkhyüh Kaza khawa cehnaka lam üng cita” a ti (Acuna lam cun tuh ta am sumei ti u.)
27 And hee arose and went on: and beholde, a certaine Eunuche of Ethiopia, Candaces the Queene of the Ethiopians chiefe Gouernour, who had the rule of all her treasure, and came to Hierusalem to worship:
Acunüng, tho law lü citki. Acua Ethiopia khawa Candace, Ethiopia upki nghnumia khawthem naküt msümcei lü nghnumi awmki cun Jerusalem khawa Pamhnam va hjawkhah khaia citki;
28 And as he returned sitting in his charet, he read Esaias the Prophet.
a nglat law be lama, a senghlea khana ngaw lü sahma Hesajah cauk üngka kheki.
29 Then the Spirit said vnto Philip, Goe neere and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
Acunüng, Ngmüimkhya naw Philipa veia, “Cana senghle veia cit lü a hlawnga va vea” a ti.
30 And Philip ranne thither, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, But vnderstandest thou what thou readest?
Acunüng, Philip cun acuna ngvaia veia va cit lü sahma Hesajaha cauk khe se ngjaki naw, “Na khea asuilam na ksingki aw?” a ti.
31 And he saide, Howe can I, except I had a guide? And he desired Philip, that he would come vp and sit with him.
Ani naw, “U naw am a na mtheh cun ihawkba ka ksing thei khai ni?” a ti. Acunüng, a veia ngaw hnga khaia Philip cun a khü.
32 Nowe the place of the Scripture which he read, was this, Hee was lead as a sheepe to the slaughter: and like a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth.
Acunüng, Cangcim a khe cun: “Hnim vaia toa mäiha ani cun ami cehpüi; To a mu ami kteih üng käh khihkheh lü a vea mäiha, ani pi käh khihkheh lü veki;
33 In his humilitie his iudgement hath bene exalted: but who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
Ani cun hnemnak a khamei üng, am cangkia lei ami mtai pet; u naw pi a mjükphyüi mawng am pyen khawh u, isetiakyaküng khawmdeka ania sak cun päihki” kyaki.
34 Then the Eunuche answered Philippe, and saide, I pray thee of whome speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man?
Acunüng, ngvai naw Philipa veia, “Sahma naw hin hin ua mawng ni a pyen? Amäta mawng mä, khyang kcea mawng mä? Ni kthäh veng na mtheha” a ti.
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus.
Philip naw, thangkdaw cun ahina Cangcim üngkhyüh tünei lü Jesuha mawng cun a mtheh.
36 And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certaine water, and the Eunuche said, See, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptized?
Acunüng, lam ani ceh k'um üng, tuia venak pha ni se; ngvai naw, “Tenga, hin üng tui ve ve, Baptican kham vaia i naw na kyawhki ni?” ti se,
37 And Philippe said vnto him, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. Then he answered, and saide, I beleeue that that Iesus Christ is that Sonne of God.
Philip naw, “Na mlungmthin avan am na jumei üng na kham theiki” ti se; ngvai naw, “Jesuh Khritaw, Pamhnama Cakpaa kyaki ti ka jumki” ti lü a msang.
38 Then he commanded the charet to stand stil: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuche, and he baptized him.
Acunüng, angvai naw senghle ngdüihsak lü, Philipa dä ngvai cun tui da citki xawi. Acun üng Philip naw Baptican a khamsak.
39 And assoone as they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuche sawe him no more: so he went on his way reioycing.
Acunüng, tui üngka naw ani thaw law be ja, Bawipaa Ngmüimkhya naw Philip cun cehpüi. Angvai naw Philip am hmu ti kyaw lüpi jekyainak am amäta lama citbeki.
40 But Philippe was found at Azotus, and he walked to and from preaching in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
Acunsepi, Philip cun Azuk mlüha ngdang law be lü; a ceh sawa acuna mlüh üngkhyüh Ketarih am a pha hama küt üng, mlüh naküt üng thangkdaw sang hüki.
