< Acts 11 >

1 NOW the apostles and brethren who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Jihudi nattabasingnasu Tengban Mapugi wa lousille haiba pakhonchatpasingna amadi Judea-da leiba thajabasingna tarammi.
2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision disputed with him,
Maram aduna Peter-na Jerusalem-da chatpada atoppa phurupsingsu un-kakkadabani haina thajabasingna mangonda yetladuna hairak-i,
3 saying, Thou hast gone in to men holding uncircumcision, and hast eaten with them.
“Nahakna un-kaktaba migi yumda changduna makhoiga chamin thakminnei.”
4 Then Peter taking up the matter from the beginning, explained it to them regularly, saying,
Maduda Peter-na thokkhiba thoudok pumnak adu ahoubadagi liba houraduna hairak-i,
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel descending as a vast sheet let down from heaven by its four corners; and it came close to me:
“Eina Joppa saharda haijaduna leiringeida uhanbiba ama urammi. Swarga hangdokpa aduga apakpa phigumba ama chuthek marida kanagumbana paiba manna swargadagi thadaraklammi aduga madu eigi inak yourakkhi.
6 on which looking attentively, I perceived, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the birds of the air.
Aduga eina maduda munna yengbada malemgi makhong mari panba sasing, lamlakki sasing, mapukna sittuna chatpasing amadi atiyagi ucheksing yaoba urammi.
7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, Rise, Peter; slay and eat.
Adudagi khonjel amana eingonda hairak-i, ‘Hougatlu Peter, hattuna chao’
8 But I said, By no means, Lord: for never yet hath any thing common or unclean entered into my mouth.
Maduda eina khumkhi, ‘Natte, Ibungo! Keidoungeidasu amaangba amasung sengdaba amata eigi chinda khak changkhidri.’
9 But the voice replied the second time from heaven, What God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
Adubu khonjel aduna swargadagi amukka hairak-i, ‘Tengban Mapuna senghanbikhraba adubu nahakna sengdabani haina louroidabani.’
10 Now this was repeated thrice: and the whole withdrawn again into heaven.
Madu ahumlak thokkhi aduga pumnamak adu swargada amuk chingkhatkhi.
11 And, lo! immediately three men stood before the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
Aduga khudak adumaktada Caesarea-dagi tharakpa nupa ahumna eina leiriba yum aduda thunglare.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no hesitation. But with me went also these six brethren, and we entered into the man’s house:
Eina makhoiga chingnaba leitana chatminnanaba Thawai Asengbana eingonda hairammi. Ichil inao taruk asisu eiga loinana chatlammi aduga eikhoi loina Cornelius-ki yumda changlammi.
13 and he informed us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and invite Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
Mahakna swarga dut ama mahakki yumda ukhiba adu eikhoida tamlammi aduga dut aduna mangonda hai, ‘Joppa-dagi Simon Peter kouba nupa amabu mi thaduna kouru.
14 who will speak words to thee, by which thou mayest be saved, and thy house.
Nahak amadi nahakki imung pumnamak aran-khubham phangnaba mahakna nangonda wa nganggani.’
15 So when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, just as on us at the beginning.
Hourakpada eikhoigi ithakta Thawai Asengbana lakpibagumna, eina wa ngangba hourakpada makhoigi mathaktasu lakpikhi.
16 Then I recollected the word of the Lord, how he had said, John indeed baptised with water; but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Ghost.
Maduda ‘John-nadi isingda baptize toubi adubu einadi nakhoibu Thawai Asengbada baptize toubigani’ haina Ibungona haikhiba wa adu eina ningsinglakkhi.
17 If God then gave an equal gift to them even as to us, on believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; I, indeed, who was I, that I should be able to restrain God?
Eikhoina Ibungo Jisu Christtabu thajaba matamda Tengban Mapuna eikhoida pibiba khudol adumak pibirabadi, eina kana oiduna Tengban Mapubu thinggadouribano?”
18 So when they heard these things they were satisfied, and glorified God, saying, Well! then hath God even to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.
Wa asi tabada makhoi tumin leire. Aduga makhoina Tengban Mapubu thagattuna hairak-i, “Tengban Mapuna Jihudi nattabasingsu hingba phangnabagi pukning hongba adu pibire.”
19 Now those also who were dispersed by the persecution which arose on account of Stephen passed on as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no man except the Jews only.
Stephen-bu hatkhiba matamda thokkhiba ot-neiba adugi maramna Phoenicia, Cyprus, amadi Antioch tanna chaithokkhraba thajabasing aduna Jihudising khaktada Tengban Mapugi wa sandoklammi.
20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they arrived at Antioch, spake to the Grecian proselytes, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Adubu Cyprus amadi Cyrene-dagi lakpa thajaba kharanadi Antioch-ta chattuna Greek-ki misingdasu Ibungo Jisugi maramda Aphaba Pao sandoklammi.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a vast multitude believing, turned to the Lord.
Aduga Ibungogi panggalna makhoiga loinarammi amasung mi mayam amana thajaraktuna Mapu Ibungoda mai onsillaklammi.
22 And the report concerning them was heard in the ears of the church which was at Jerusalem: and they dispatched Barnabas, to go as far as Antioch.
Pao asi Jerusalem-da leiba singlupki maphamda youraklammi maram aduna makhoina Barnabas-pu Antioch-ta tharaklammi.
23 Who, when he arrived there, and beheld the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted them all, with full purpose of heart to adhere to the Lord.
Mahakna thungba matamda Tengban Mapuna makhoibu yaipha thoujal pibiba adu urammi maduda mahak haraorammi aduga makhoina thajaba yana amadi thamoi sengna Ibungoda leinaba mahakna makhoida pukning thougatpirammi.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and a great multitude was added to the Lord.
Barnabas Thawai Asengbana amadi thajabana thanba aphaba mi amani. Mahakna mi kaya ama Mapu Ibungogi maphamda puraklammi.
25 Then went forth Barnabas to Tarsus, in search of Saul:
Adudagi Barnabas-na Saul-bu thiba Tarsus-ta chatlammi.
26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that during a whole year they were jointly employed in that church, and taught a vast multitude, and they called for the first time in Antioch the disciples Christians.
Mahakna Saul-bu thengnarabada mahakpu Antioch-ta puraklammi aduga chahi ama chupna makhoi singlupka loinana tinnarammi amadi mi kaya amabu tambirammi. Antioch-ta thajabasingbu ihan hanna Christian haina koukhi.
27 Now there came down in those days prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Matam asida Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichou khara Jerusalem-dagi Antioch-ta laklammi.
28 And one of them named Agabus, rising up, signified by the spirit that a great famine was coming upon the whole habitable globe: which also came in the reign of Claudius Caesar.
Makhoigi maraktagi Agabus kouba amana lepkhattuna taibangpanbagi mapham pumnamakta tamthiba chak tangba ama thokkani haina Thawaigi mapanna phongdoklammi. (Madu Claudius-na ningthourel oiba matamda thokkhi)
29 Then the disciples, as everyman had ability, determined every individual of them to send a sum to be distributed among the brethren who dwelt in Judea:
Antioch-ta leiba thajabasingna makhoi makhoigi ngamjaba matung inna Judea-da leiba thajabasingda mateng pinanaba lepnarammi.
30 which also they did, sending it off to the presbyters by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Madumak makhoina pangthoklammi aduga makhoina khudol adu Barnabas amasung Saul-gi khuthangda singlupki ahal lamansingda tharammi.
