Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Theophiluh aw: Ka yuk kcüka cauk cun Jesuh naw jah mtheimthang lü khut a pawh lawnak üng tünei lü,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
khankhawa a kai be vei cäpa ania mawnglama kyaki. Ani cun naw khankhawa am a kai be ham üng, a xüa Ngsäe cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcima johit am lam jah msüm hütki.
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
Ani cun a thih käna mhnüp kphyükipa k'um üng Ngsäea veia khawvei ngdang be lü a xün bea mawng cun akcanga mdang hütki. Ngsäe naw ani cun hmukie, ani naw pi Pamhnama pea mawng jah mthehki.
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, says he, you have heard of me.
Acunüng, Ngsäe jah ngbämsaki naw, “Jerusalem käh cehta u lü, ka Paa khyütam, nami ngjaka ka pyen khawi cän ana k'äih ua.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Johan naw tui üng Baptican ning ja peki, khaw mhnüp am hjo lü Ngmüimkhya Ngcim üng Baptican nami kham khai” a ti.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Acunüng, amimi cun, atänga ngkhäm law u lü, “Bawipa aw, atuha Isarele üng pe na jah pet khai aw?” ti u lü, ami kthäh.
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in his own power.
Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Akcün ja ahnün cun ka Pa naw amäta themnak üng a cenga kyase, nangmi naw nami ksing vaia am kya ve.
8 But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come on you: and you shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
Acunsepi, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim nami khana a pha law üng, johit am nami be law khai. Acunüng, Jerusalem mlüh, Judah, Samarih ja khawmdeka adütnak cäpa, kei a saksia nami kya khai” a ti.
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Acuna ngthu a pyen law päng üng, ami hmuh mahmaha khana kai be se, khawngmei naw am ami hmuh be thei vaia a thupin.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
A hang kai be üng axüisawe naw khankhawa han bük kyetkie. Acunüng, khyang nghngih suisak abawk jah suisa ni lü, ami peia ngdüi lawki xawi.
11 Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.
Acu xawi naw, “Kalile khyange aw, ise khankhawa hang mang u lü, nami ngdüikie ni? Hina Jesuh hin nami vei üngkhyüh nami hmuha khana a kaia mäiha, law be khai” ani ti.
12 Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
Acunüng, Ngsäe cun Olip mcung ami ti üngka naw Jerusalem mlüha cit bekie. Acuna mcung cun Jerusalem mlüh üngkhyüh kilometer mat banga thuki.
13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where stayed both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Amimi cun mlüha pha be u lü, ami im kainaka k'uma lutkie: acune cun, Pita, Johan, Jakuk, Andru, Philip, Thomah, Batolame, Mahte, Alaphaha cakpa Jakuk, Sihmon Zelot ja Jakuka cakpa Judaha kyakie.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Amimi cun, Jesuha nu Marih ja akce nghnumie ni, Jesuha a nae am, atänga ngkhäm u lü ktaiyü läkie.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
Acunüng, angawi tiktuh üng, jumkia khyange ami ngkhäa phya ja mku cun ngkhäm lawki he. Pita naw ami nglunga ngdüi law lü,
16 Men and brothers, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
“Ka benae aw, Jesuh man khaie üng, lam ja msümkia, Judah Iskarota mawng Cangcim üng veki cun küm päng ve. Acuna Cangcim cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw Davit üngkhyüha a pyena kyaki.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Judah cun axüisaw mata kyase, khut mi binak üng pi ngpüi vaia a xüa kyaki.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Ani cun am daw khaia ngui yah lü khaw hnün mat khyäiki, acunüng kya law lü ta a khawn pawk lü, a khyü avan lut law päihki.
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
Acuna mawng cun Jerusalema vekia khyang avan naw ngja u lü, acuna khaw hnün cun, amimäta ngthu am, ‘Akeldama ami sui, acun cun, ‘Thisen Hnün’ tinaka kyaki.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his position as bishop let another take.
“Salan caup üng, ‘A im xawngei lü, ak'uma u am ve se,’ ti lü ng’yuki, acuna thea ng’yuk betüki ta, ‘khyang kce naw ania hnün bi se’ a ti.
21 Why of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
“Acunakyase, Johan naw Baptican a ja petnak üng tün lü, Jesuh khana a kai be cäpa, mi veia citcawn hü lü vekie üngka, Bawipa Jesuha a thawhnak be saksi na lü jah sang püi khaia khyang mat mi mcawn be khai” a ti.
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Acunüng, ani cun khyang nghngih üngka mat xü vaia mkyäpkie. Acun xawi ta Josep: Barsaba ami tia Jastas ja Matthias kyaki.
24 And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two you have chosen,
Acunüng, amimi ktaiyü u lü, “Bawipa, khyanga mlung avan na ksingki,
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
a venak vaia cit pängki Judaha hnün üng ngsä khut bi khaia hin xawi üngka u na xüki, jah mtheha” ami ti.
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Acunüng, cung kphawng u lü, Matthias naw cung yah se, ani cun ngsä xaleiate am atänga khutbi hnga khaia mcawnkie.
