Acts 11
1 And the apostles and the brothers who are in Judea heard that the nations also received the word of God,
Judah khawa vekiea Ngsäe ja jumeikie naw, khyangmjükcee naw pi Pamhnama ngthu ja hngakie tia ami ksing.
2 and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of circumcision were contending with him,
Acunüng, Pita Jerusalema a ceh üng, vun mawi hlükie khyangmjükcee naw pi Pita cun kcäh u lü,
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”
“Ami vun am mawikiea ima lut lü ami veia na ei haki” ti u lü ami ngcuhpüi.
4 And Peter having begun, set [it] forth to them in order, saying,
Acunsepi, Pita naw aphung üng tünei lü ja mthehki naw,
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of Heaven, and it came to me;
“Jukpei mlüha ktaiyü lü ka veki; acunüng, jinua mäih üng khankhawa ka naw kya law se ka hmu; ka pei yea na k’et lawki;
6 at which having looked steadfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky;
acun bükteng lü ka ngaikyu hui üng, khisae naküt khawmdek üng ngvak hükie ja khana khae ka jah hmuh.
7 and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;
Acunüng, kthai naw, ‘Pita, tho law, jah hnim lü ja eia’ ti se, ka ngjak.
8 and I said, Not so, Lord, because anything common or unclean has at no time entered into my mouth;
Acunsepi, kei naw, ‘Bawipa aw, acukba am kya, am ngcimcaiki ja mtüikheh ka mka üng am ju lut khawi naw’ ka ti.
9 and a voice answered me a second time out of Heaven, What God cleansed, you do not declare common.
Acunsepi, khankhawa ka kthai naw, ‘Pamhnam naw a ngcimcaihsak haw cen, nang naw am ngcimki käh tia’ ti lü a na msang.
10 And this happened three times, and again was all drawn up to Heaven,
Acukba kthum vei a ve law päng üng, avan khankhawa a jähei be.
11 and behold, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me,
Acunüng, khyang kthum, Ketarih mlüha kae cun ka veia jah tüi law u se, ka venaka ima pha lawki he.
12 and the Spirit said to me to go with them, doubting nothing, and these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the house of the man,
Ngmüimkhya naw käh cücawn lü ka ja läk khaia a na tüih. Hina jumeiki khyuke naw pi na läk law hnga u se, Koneliha ima kami lutkie;
13 he also declared to us how he saw the messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
ani naw, a ima khankhaw ngsä ngdüi se a hmuh ja, khankhaw ngsä naw a veia, ‘Jukpei mlüha khyang tüi lü, Sihmon Pita ami ti jäng laksaka;
14 who will speak sayings by which you will be saved, you and all your house.
ani naw ngthu ning mtheh se, acuna ngthu am nang ja na khui im kyawnglawng cun küikyana nami kya khai’ a tia mawng a jah mtheh.
15 And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as also on us in the beginning,
Acunüng, ngthu cutei lü ka pyen law ja, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim akcüka mi khana a pha lawa mäiha, amimia khana pi pha lawki.
16 and I remembered the saying of the LORD, how He said, John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit;
Acunüng Bawipa ngthu, ‘Johan naw tui am khyang Baptican jah peki, acunsepi nangmi cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim üng Baptican nami khan khai’ a ti, ka süm law beki.
17 if then God gave to them the equal gift as also to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to withstand God?”
Pamhnam naw Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw mi jumei ja, amdanga a jah peta khawh cun khyangmjü kcee pi acuna khawh a jah pet hnga üng, kei cun ia kya lü acuna Pamhnam ka ma khai ni?” a ti.
18 And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, “Then, indeed, God also gave conversion to life to the nations.”
Acuna ngthu ami ngjak ja, jum u lü, “Acuna akyaküng, Pamhnam naw khyangmjükcee haw ngjut be u lü xünnak ami ya vaia mawng cun ja pe ha ve” ti u lü Pamhnam mküimtokie.
19 Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;
Stephena phäha ami jah khuimkhae, Phonisia, Kuparuh ja Antiok mlüh cäpa dawng hü u lü Judah khyange dänga veia Pamhnama ngthu sang hükie.
20 and there were certain of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming good news—the Lord Jesus,
Acunsepi, avange cun Kuparuh mlüh ja Kuriniha kaea kyakie, acune naw Antiok mlüh ami pha üng, khyangmjükcee veia pi ngthu pyen u lü, Bawipa Jesuha thangkdaw ami sang.
21 and the hand of the LORD was with them, a great number also, having believed, turned to the LORD.
Bawipa johit naw jah vepüi se; khyang khawhah naw jum u lü, Bawipa veia nghlat law päihkie.
22 And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through to Antioch,
Ami mawngma cun Jerusalema veki sangcim naw ngja u lü, Banabah cun Antiok mlüha ami tüih.
23 who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the LORD,
Banabah a va pha üng, Pamhnama jah pet dawkyanak hmu lü aktäa jeki, ktha na kcang u lü Bawipa üng anglät se ami khäng vaia ami van a jah mcäi.
24 because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the LORD.
Banabah cun khyang kdawa kya lü, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ja jumeinak am bekia kyase, Bawipa veia khyang khawhah ngdawn lawki he.
25 And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,
Acunüng, Banabah cun Sawluh sui khaia Tasuh mlüha citki.
26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they assembled together a whole year in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Va hmu lü Antiok mlüha a cehpüi. Kum mät bang Sangcim üng veki khyange am hmu hnga ni lü, khyang khawha ja mtheimthangki xawi. Acuna Antiok mlüha jumeikie cun “Khritjane” tia ami jah sui law kcüka kyaki.
27 And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,
Acuna kcün üng, sahma avange cun Jerusalem üngka naw Antioka ju citkie.
28 and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, signified through the Spirit a great scarcity is about to be throughout all the world—which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar—
Amimi üngka mat, Akabas ngming naki ngdüi law lü khawmdek khan avan üng khawjaw law khai tia Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am a pyen; acuna khawjawnak cun Ketah sangpuxang Kalawdih naw a jah upa kcün üng pha lawki.
29 and the disciples, according as anyone was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministry to the brothers dwelling in Judea,
Axüsawe naw ami khyaih khawha, Judah khawa vekiea jumeikie cun ja kpüikpak vaia ami mkhyah u.
30 which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Acukba ami büa mäiha ami ja kpüikpaknak cun Banabah ja Sawluha kut üngka naw, sangcim ngvaiea veia ami jah kbi.
