Acts 13
1 NOW there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Antiok khaw awhkaw thlangboel ak khuiawh tawnghakhqi ingkaw cawngpyikungkhqi ce awm uhy; cekkhqi taw Barnaba, Niger tinawh amik khy Simeon, Cyqene khaw awhkaw Lucius, Herod a koeina hly Manen ingkaw Saul vetloek ve awm uhy.
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Cekkhqi ing Bawipa bibi unawh buh zeih cykcahnaak ami taak huiawh Ciim Myihla ing, “Kai aham Barnaba ingkaw Saul ce ka bi ak bi ham ka taak kqawi amyihna ni hoep pe uh,” tina hy.
3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Cedawngawh buh zeih unawh ami cykcah coengawh, cekqawi ak khan awh kut tloeng unawh amik cykcah peek coengawh tyi uhy.
4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Cecoengawh Ciim Myihla ing a tyih qawi amyihna Silucia na nu cet nih nawh cawhkawng Kupra benna lawng ing cet hy nih.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
Salamis khaw ani pha awh, Judakhqi a sinakawk awh Khawsak awi ce khypyi hy nih. Johan awm ani bi ak bina ceh pyi lawt hy nih.
6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus:
Cawhkaw tuilak cung awh ce cet phat nih nawh Paphos khaw ce pha uhy. Ce a khaw awh Juda phyn miklet ak thoem tawngha qawl Bar - Jesu ak mingnaak thlang pynoet ce hu uhy.
7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
Anih taw Rom qam ukkung Sergia Paula a venawh awm hy. Cawhkaw qam ukkung cetaw thlakcyi na awm nawh, Khawsak awi ce zaak aham a ngaih a dawngawh Barnaba ingkaw Saul ce thlang tyi nawh khy sak hy.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
Cehlai Rom qam ukkung ing cangnaak ce ang hawi taak thainaak aham miklet ak thoem Elima (ce ce anih ang ming kqawn ngaihnaak ni) ing cekqawi ce ana oelh hy.
9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Cawh Paul tinawh awm amik khy Saul ce Ciim Myihla ing be nawh, Elima ce a toek hqeet coengawh,
10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
“Nang ve qaai a cana na awm a dawngawh ik-oeih ak thym boeih a qaal na awm hyk ti! Thailatnaak soepkep ingkaw qaaikqawnnaak ing be hyk ti. Bawipa a lam ak thym na kawi sak ve amna qoeng hly nawh nu?
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
Bawipa a kut ce nak khan awh awm hawh hy. Na mik hyp kawmsaw, tuhkawng khawkbe ce am hu voel kawp ti,” tina hy. Kawlhkalh awh khawmai ingkaw thannaak ce ak khan awh pha pe saw, kutawh tu nawh ak sawi aham thlang thoem hyhy hy.
12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
Qam ukkung ing cawhkaw a them sai ce a huh awh, cangna hy, Bawipa akawng cawngpyinaak awh ak kawpoek na kyi hy.
13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
Paphos khaw awhkawng Paul ingkaw a pyikhqi ce Pamphylia qam khuiawh kaw Perga khaw na ce lawng ing cet uhy, cawh Johan ing cekkhqi ce Jerusalem na hlat taak khqi hy.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
Perga khaw awhkawng Pisidian Antiok khaw na ce cet uhy.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Anaa awi ingkaw tawngha caukkhqi noetnaak a awm coengawh, sinakawk ukkungkhqi ing cekkhqi venawh, “Koeinaakhqi thapeek awi kqawn aham nami taak awhtaw, kqawn thai uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
Paul ing dyi nawh thlang boeih ce a kut ing zap khqi nawh: “Israel thlangkhqi ingkaw Khawsa ak bawk nangmih Gentelkhqi aw, kak awi ve ngai lah uh!
17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
Israel thlangkhqi a Khawsa ing ningnih a pakhqi ce anak tyk hy; Izip qam awh ami awm awh cekkhqi ce boei a mang sak khqi hy, a boeimang thaawm kut ing cekkhqi ce qam khuiawh kawng sawi khqi tlaih hy,
18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
a mingmih a khawboe qamlang ce qamkoh awh kum phlikip khuiawh yh hy,
19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
anih Kanan qam khuiawh kaw qam khqih ce noeng pe nawh qam ce cekkhqi avenawh qo na pehy.
20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
Vemyihkhqi ve kum zali coengawh hakip dii hy. Cekcoengawh Khawsa ing cekkhqi ce tawngha Samuel a awm hlan dy awidengkungkhqi ana pehy.
21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
Cekcoeng awhkawng thlangkhqi ing sangpahrang ce ana thoeh unawh, cedawngawh Benjamin kaw ak khuiawh kaw Kish a capa Saul ce ana pek khqi hy, anih ing kum phlikip ak khuiawh ana uk khqi hy.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
Saul ce a qoeng coengawh, David ce sangpahrang na taak pek khqi hy. David awh ce anih ing: ‘Kamah ak kawlung amyihna ak awm Jesse a capa David ce hu hawh nyng; kai ing sai sak aham ka ngaih ce anih ing sai boeih kaw,’ tihy.
23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Ce ak thlang a cadil khui awhkawng Khawsa ing Israelkhqi venawh awi a taaknaak amyihna hulkung Jesu ce pehy.
24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Jesu a law hlanawh Johan ing zutnaak ing baptisma akawng ce Israelkhqi boeih a venawh anak khypyi hy.
25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
Johan ing amah a bibi ak coeng tawm awh: ‘Kai ve a u nu tinawh namik poek? Kai taw anih amni. Cehlai ka hu awh ni a law hly hyn hy, anih a khawmyk qui ak hlam peek aham zani am kawih nyng,’ tihy.
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
Koeinaakhqi, Abraham a cakhqi ingkaw nangmih Khawsa ak kqih Gentel thlangkhqi aw, cawhkaw hulnaak awithang ce ningnih a venawh pat law hawh hy.
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
Jerusalem khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi ingkaw a mingmih ak ukkungkhqi ing Jesu ce am hat uhy, Sabbath a hoeiawh ami noet tawnghakhqik awi ce a soepnaak aham anih ce thawlh sak kuphlet uhy.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
Thih sak thainaak aham a thawlhnaak awm am hu hlai uhy, him thainaak aham Pilat a venawh thoeh uhy.
29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
Anih akawng qee hyt na ak awmkhqi boeih ce ami sai peek coengawh, thing awhkawng lo unawh phyi awh pup uhy.
30 But God raised him from the dead:
Cehlai thihnaak awhkawng Khawsa ing anih ce thawh tlaih hy;
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
khawnghi khawzah amah ingqawi Kalili awhkawng Jerusalem na ak cetkhqi mi hu qu uhy. Cekkhqi ce ningnih thlangkhqi venawh simpyikung na awm uhy.
32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
Cedawngawh awithang leek ve ka nik kqawn peek khqi: Ni pakhqi venawh Khawsa ing awi ana taak ce,
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
Jesu a thawh tlaihnaak ak caming, ningnih a cakhqi venawh soep law sak hawh hy. Saam pakkhihnaak: ‘Nang taw ka capa na awm hyk ti; tuhngawi awh na pa na awm nyng,’ tinawh ana qee amyihna.
34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
Khawsa ing anih ce ama hawnaak zip qoe qoe aham, thihnaak ak khuiawh kawng am thawh tlaihnaak awh ce vemyihna kqawn hy: ‘David a venawh ak ciim ingkaw zoseennaak awikam ka taak ce ni pe kawng nyng,’ tinawh.
35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Hun ak chang awh vemyihna qee bai hy: ‘Nak thlang ciim ce ityk awh awm am thu sak zip kawp ti,’ ti bai hy.
36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
David ing Khawsa ang cainaak ce amah a khuk khuiawh a bi boeih coengawh thi hy; a pakhqi venawh pup unawh a pum ce thu zip hawh hy.
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
Thihnaak awhkawng Khawsa ing am thawh tlaih thlang cetaw am thu zip kaw.
38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
Cedawngawh ka koeinaakhqi, Jesu ak caming thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak ce nangmih a venawh khypyi na awm hy tive sim sak aham ni ngaih khqi nyng.
39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Mosi a anaa awi ak caming am hu thai hlai uhyk ti, ak cangnaak thlangkhqi boeih taw anih ak caming dyngnaak ce hu hy.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
Tawngha ing anak kqawn hyt awi ce nangmih ak khan awh ama pha lawnaak aham ngaihta lah uh:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
'Toek lah uh, nangmih thlang ak hepkhqi, namik kawpoek kyi sak unawh qeeng uh, thlang ing ak kqawn law awh awm, amna mik cangnaak qoe qoe aham, na hqing khuiawh ik-oeih sai law kawng nyng, tinawh ana qee hyt awi ve,' tinak khqi hy.
42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
Paul ingkaw Barnaba ing sinakawk awhkawng ani ceh awh, ce akawng ce hai Sabbath nyn awh kqawn peek tlaih aham thlangkhqi ing ceei uhy.
43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Thlang kqeng a ceh coengawh, Juda thlang khawzah ingkaw Juda phungna ak hawi qu Khawsa ak kqih thlangkhqi ing Paul ingkaw Barnaba a hu ce hquut uhy, cekqawi mi awikqawn unawh, cekkhqi ce Khawsa qeennaak ak khuiawh awm poe aham awikqawn pe hy nih.
44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
Sabbath nyn a pha tlaih awh awm khawk khui awhkaw thlang ak kuum ngai taw Bawipa awi ak ngai aham law uhy.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
Judakhqi ing thlang kqeng ce ami huh awh tlai se unawh amak thym na Paul ak awih kqawn ce oelh pe uhy.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Cedawngawh Paul ingkaw Barnaba ing cekkhqi ce qal leeknaak ing awi hlat pe hy nih: “Khawsak awi ve nangmih a venawh kak kqawn maa aham awm hy. Cehlai nangmih ing oelh u tiksaw na mimah ce kumqui hqingnaak ing ak kawih na amna mik poek a dawngawh tuh taw Gentelkhqi benna ni ka ming mang hly hawh hy. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Ikawtih Khawsa ing vemyihna awi ni pe qawi hy: ‘Gentelkhqi vangnaak na nang ve ni sai hawh nyng, khawmdek a dytnaak dyna hulnaak ce na khynnaak aham,’ ti ak awi ve,” tina hy nih.
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Gentelkhqi ing ce ak awi ce a ming zaak awh, zeel unawh Bawipak awi ce zoeksang uhy; kumqui hqingnaak huh aham a hoep thlangkhqi ing cangna uhy. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
Bawipak awi ce ce a qam pum awh thang hy.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
Cehlai Judakhqi ing Khawsa ak kqih dyih hun ak sang nukhqi ingkaw khawk khuiawh kaw ukkung thlangkhqi ce cuih uhy. Paul ingkaw Barnaba ce the a kha na unawh ce a qam khui awhkawng hqek uhy.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
Cedawngawh cekqawi ing cekkhqi a mami ngaih huh saknaak na ani khaw awhkaw dekpli ce khawk sih nih nawh Ikonium khaw na cehta hy nih.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
