Acts 13
1 And there were prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch; Barnabas, and Symeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenean, and Manahem, the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Antiok mlüha sangcime üngka, sahmae ja sajae vekie; acune cun Banabah, Simeon (Khyang le), (Kurinih) khawa ka Lucia, (Herod jah upnakia dä däm lawkia) Manin ja Sawluha kyakie.
2 And they ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Now separate unto me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
Acunüng, Bawipaa khüibi bi u lü ami ei ami jeih k'um üng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw, “Khutbi khai xawia ka jah mcawna Banabah ja Sawluh cun na jah phyäi hnga ua” a ti.
3 Then they having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, sent them away.
Ami ei jeih u lu ami ktaiyü law päng üng, ani khana ami kut mtaih u lü, ami ja tüih.
4 Then they indeed, having been sent away by the Holy Ghost, came down to Seleucia; and thence sailed away to Cyprus.
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw Banabahh ja Sawluh a jah tüihnak üng Selukih mlüha ju cit ni lü, acun üngka naw Kuparuh kawnga mlawng üng citki xawi.
5 And being in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they also had John as their helper.
Acunüng, Salamih mlüha ani pha üng, Judahea sinakoka Pamhnama ngthu pyenki xawi; Johan ami tia Makuh pi jah kpüi khaia ani cehpüi.
6 And having gone through the whole island to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet, to whom was the name of Bar-Jesus:
Acuna kyawn avan üng cit hü ni lü, Papos cäpa cit hüki xawi; acunüng Judah khyang mat sui khyaihki a ngming Bar Jesuh naw kei sahmaki tiki ani hmuh.
7 who was with Sergius Paulus, the proconsul, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God;
Sekijah Pawluh cun Bar-Jesuh a nglawipüia kyaki. Sekijah Pawluh cun khyang kthema kya lü Papos kyawn upki kyaki. Ani naw Banabah ja Sawluh jah khü lü, Pamhnama ngthu ngai hlüki.
8 but Elymas the magician (for thus his name is interpreted) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Acunsepi, sui khyaihki Eluma (Krik ngminga kyaki) naw jah upki cun am jumei khaia, angsä xawi a jah mah.
9 And Saul, (who is also Paul), being filled with the Holy Ghost, fixing his eyes on him,
Sawluh naki Pawluh ami ti naw, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be lü, acuna Bar Jesuh cun büktengki naw,
10 said, O thou full of all guile and rascality, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of God?
“Nang khawyaia ca ni, nang cun dawkyanaka ye ni, kpyüpyehnak naküt am na beki, Bawipaa ngthukcange hleihlaka nghlatsak khai na ktha naki!
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness; and going about he was seeking people to lead him by the hand.
“Tukbäih Bawipa kut na khana pha lawki tia ksinga, khawkdei käh na hmu khaia na mik mü khai” a ti. Acun ja Eluma cun nghmüp naw jin se, a kut kha hü lü kaih khai suiki.
12 Then the deputy, seeing that which took place, believed; being delighted with the teaching of the Lord.
Acunüng, kyawn upki naw acun hmuh lü, Bawipa mawng mtheimthangnak cun müna lü aktäa kyühei lü jumeiki.
13 And those around Paul having sailed from Paphos, came into Perge of Pamphylia: and John having departed from them returned to Jerusalem.
Pawluh cun a ngkhahpüi xawi am, Papos üngka naw mlawng am cit u lü Pampulih hne Parkah mlüha pha u se, acunüng, Johan naki Makuh naw jah cehta lü, Jerusalem da nglat beki.
14 And they having come from Perge, arrived into Picidian Antioch, and having come into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
Acunsepi, anini cun Parkah mlüh üngka naw cit laihlaih ni lü, Pisidih hne Antiok mlüh pha ni lü, acunüng, sabbath mhnüp üng sinakoka lut ni lü ngawki xawi.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the chief rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if there is any word of consolation to the people in you, speak.
Mosia Thume ja sahmaea cae ami khe law Päng üng, sinakok ngvaie naw, ani veia khyang tüih u lü, “Bena xawi aw, khyang nani jah mcäinak vaia ngthu a ve üng pyen nia” ami ti.
16 And Paul, rising up, and beckoning with his hand said; Israelitish men, and those fearing God, hear.
Pawluh ngdüi law lü a kut säng lü, “Pamhnam kyühkia Isarele ja khyangmjükcee aw, ngai ua.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm led them out of it;
Hina Isarel khyangmjüe Pamhnam naw, mi pupae jah xü lü, khina kba Egypt pea ami ve üng khyangmjü kdäma a pawh. Pamhnam naw a themnak am Egypt pe üngkhyüh a jah lawpüi be.
18 and when he supported them about the time of forty years in the wilderness,
Kum kphyükip khawkhyawng khawa a jah mcei.
19 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the inheritance of the land about four hundred and fifty years.
Kanan pea khyangmjü khyüh ja näng lü acun käna acuna pe cun Isarele am a jah kanaksak.
20 And after these things he gave them judges, till Samuel the prophet.
Acun käna, sahma Samuilah am a ve law ham üng, kum phyakphyü ja mhmakip ngthumkhyahkie am a jah na pet law.
21 And then they asked for a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years;
Acun käna sangpuxang mso u se, Benjamina mjü üngka Kisah a cakpa Sawluh ngming naki, khawkum kphyükip ami sangpuxang vaia Pamhnam naw a jah pet.
22 and having deposed him, he raised up to them David for a king; to whom witnessing he also said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who will do all my wishes.
Acun käna ani ksät lü Isarelea sangpuxang vaia Davit a mcawn be; Pamhnam naw cuna mawng cun ngsingsak lü, ‘Jisea cakpa, Davit, ka mlunga mäi mlung naki hmu veng, ani naw ka ngjakhlü naküt bi khai’ a ti.
23 From whose seed according to the promise he led forth Jesus, the Savior, to Israel:
Pamhnam naw khyütam a jah peta mäiha, Isarele jah küikyan khai Davita mjü üngka Jesuh a jah pet,
24 and John having preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel, before the face of his coming.
Jesuh naw khutbi, am a tünei law ham üng, Johan naw ami mkhyekatnak nglata u lü baptican ami khan vaia Isarel khyangea veia ngthu a pyen.
25 And when John fulfilled his course, he said, What do you consider me to be? I am not he: but, behold, there comes one after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose.
Johana khut binak a päih law hlü üng, Johan naw, ‘U a nami na ngaiki ni? Kei nami ngäng ua am kya nawng. Acunsepi, ngai u, ka hnua law khai khyang ta, kei naw ania khawdawk suh pet khaia pi am nglawi veng’ a ti.
26 Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, unto us the word of this salvation was sent.
Abrahama mjü üngka ka püi Isarel khyange ja, hin üng Pamhnam hjawkhah khyangmjükcee aw, hina küikyannaka ngthu cun mi veia a jah kbi lawa kyaki.
27 For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and the rulers, having rejected him, condemning him, have
Jerusalem mlüha vekie ja ami ngvaie naw, Jesuh cun küikyanaka Bawia, am ami ksinga phäha ja sahmaea ngthu sabbath mhnüp naküt üng ami kheh cun am ami ksinga phäha, acuna ngthue cun Jesuh ami mkat üng kümbesakie.
28 fulfilled the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath; and having found no cause of death, asked Pilate that he should be executed;
A thihnak vai i am hmu u lüpi, Pilata veia hnim vaia msokie.
29 and when they perfected all the things which had been written concerning him, taking him down from the cross, placed him in a sepulchre.
Acunüng, a mawng sahmae naküt naw ami yuk, ami kümsak käna, kutlamktung üngka naw khya u lü lungdüa ami k’ut.
30 And God raised him from the dead;
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be.
31 who appeared to those coming up with him to Jerusalem from Galilee many days, who are now his witnesses to the people.
Acun käna Kalile üngka naw, Jerusalema a jah cehpüi khyangea veia khaw mhnüp khawvei ngdang be se, acune cun atuh Isarel khyangea veia saksikiea kyakie.
32 And we preach unto you the promise, which was made to the fathers,
Keini naw pi, mi pupaea veia khyütam, thangkdaw ka ning jah mtheh lawki ni, acukba Pamhnam naw Jesuh a mthawh benak am, hina khyütam mi cae üng kümsakki, Salan anghnginak üng pi, ‘Nang ka ning cakpaa na kyaki; tungawi na paa ka kyaki’ tia ng’yuki.
33 that God has fulfilled this unto our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second Psalm it has been written, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 And because he raised him up from the dead, no longer about to return to corruption, He has thus said, I will give unto you the faithful mercies of David.
Ng’uh hnüna thukyawnaka käh cit khaia Pamhnam naw ani cun thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be vaia ngthu cun hikba a pyen, ‘Davita veia ngcimcaih lü ngsingkia dawkyanak cän nang üng ka ning pet khai’ a ti.
35 Therefore He also says in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
Acunakyase, Salan kce üng pi, ‘Sitihki na mpya a thukyaw vai am tängki’ a ti sih.
36 For David, indeed having served his own generation according to the will of God, went to sleep, and did see corruption:
Davit pi, a xün k'um üng Pamhnama ngjakhlü bi a bi käna, thi se, a pupaea hlawnga k’ut u se, lungdüa kyaw pängki ni.
37 but he, whom God raised up, did not see corruption.
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngkhyüh amthawh be cun acukba am kya.
38 Then let it be known unto you, men brethren, that through this one remission of sins is preached:
Acunakyase, ka püi Isarele aw, acuna Bawi Jesuh üng mkhyekat mhlätnaka ngthu kami pyen law hin nami ksing vai hlüei veng. Mosi naw am a ning jah mhlät khawh mkhye üngkhyüh ani jumeiki avan cun jah mhlät khawhki.
39 and in him every one believing is justified from all things from which ye were not able to be justified by the law of Moses.
Au pi ani jumeiki naküt cun Mosia thum naw, am a mhlät thei pi mhlät khai.
40 Then beware, lest the word which has been spoken by the prophets may come upon you;
Acunakyase, sahmae naw ami pyen cän nami khana käh apha law vaia mcei ua.
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: because I work a work in your days, a work which you may not believe, though one may proclaim it to you.
Acun cun, ‘Hleihlakkie aw, bükteng ua, cäicing u lü thi ua; bi mat ka kpäng, acun cun khyang naw ning jah mtheh u sepi, nami xüna küt üng am jum uki” a ti.
42 And they going out, they continued to entreat them that these words should be spoken to them on the next Sabbath.
Pawluh ja Banabah cun Sinakok üngka naw ani lu law be üng, khyange naw, acuna ngthu cun sabbath bekce üng pi ani pyen be vaia ami jah nghuinak.
43 And the synagogue having been adjourned, many of the Jews and pious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking with them, continued to persuade them to abide in the grace of God.
Ngkhämkie ami ngpyen be ja, Judahea ja Judah thuma ngpyawtkie khyangmjükcee naw Pawluh ja Banabah jah läk u se, Pamhnama bäkhäknak üng ami ve nglät vaia jah mcäiki xawi.
44 And on the following Sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the word of the Lord.
Acunüng, sabbath betü üng, Bawipaa ngthu ngai khaiea, mlüh üngka avan lawki he.
45 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the word spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Acunsepi, Judahe naw khyange ami jah hmuh üng, aktäa jah cawkei u lü, Pawluha a ngthu pyen cun ngcuhpüi u lü ami ksenak.
46 And Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: since you have rejected it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold we now turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Acunüng, Pawluh ja Banabah naw ling ni lü, “Pamhnama ngthu nangmia veia pyen ma vaia kya kungki; acunsepi, mah u lü anglät xünnak am nami yah vaia nami pawha kya se, Pamhnama a jah ah mcäia mäiha khyangmjükceea veia ning jah nghlatak ve ning. (aiōnios g166)
47 For thus the Lord has commanded us, I have placed thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shalt be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth.
Acukba Bawipa naw ngthu a na pet cun, ‘Khawmdeka khütnak cäpa küikyanak na bi khaia, khyangmjükceea phäha akvaia ka ning mcawnki’ tia, kyaki” a ti.
48 And the Gentiles hearing, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and so many as had been ordained unto eternal life believed: (aiōnios g166)
Acunüng, khyangmjükcee naw acuna ngthu ami ngjak üng je u lü Bawipaa ngthu mhlünmtaikie; acunüng, angläta xüng khaia a xü naküt naw jumkie. (aiōnios g166)
49 and the word of the Lord was carried throughout all the country.
Bawipa ngthu cun acuna khaw avan üng ngthang päihki.
50 And the Jews stirred up the noble godly women, and the first men of the city, and they raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
Acunsepi, Judahe naw mlüh ngvaie ja Pamhnam hjawkhahki khyangmjükcee üngka nghnumie ami jah ksük. Ami naw Pawluh ja Banabah jah khuimkhasak u lü acuna khaw üngka naw ami jah ksät.
51 And having cast off the dust from their feet against them, they came into Iconium.
Acunüng, ngsä xawi naw ani khawpha üngka mput cun khawk hüt ni lü Ikonih khawa citki xawi.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and the Holy Ghost.
Antioka vekia jumeikie cun jekyainak ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am bekie.
