Acts 13

1 And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers: both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also—Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother—and Saul;

Antioch pawlpi sung ah, kamsang le sya pawlkhat om hi; amate sia Barnabas, Niger a kici Simeom, Cyrene khuami Lucius, ngam uk Herod taw a khang khawm pa Manaen le Saul te a hihi.

2 and in their ministering to the LORD and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate to Me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,”

Amate sia Topa naseam uh a, an a tan uh ciang in, Tha Thiangtho in Barnabas le Saul sia amate ka sap nathu nasep seam tu in a tuam in hong koi tuamsak tavun, ci hi.

3 then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.

Taciang amate antang in thu a nget zawk uh ciang, Barnabas le Saul tung ah khut nga in, paisak uh hi.

4 These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus,

Tha Thiangtho in a sawl bangma in, Barnabas le Saul sia Seleucia ah pai uh a; tua mun pan in Cyprus ah tembaw taw pai uh hi.

5 and having come to Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John [as] a servant;

Taciang amate Salamis ah a om uh laitak in, Judah te synagogue te sung ah Pathian thuhil uh hi: taciang amate a hu tu in John zong om hi.

6 and having gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] Bar-Jesus;

Tuikul sung theampo pai uh a, Pathos dong theng uh hi, tua mun ah mitbum thiam, leilot kamsang, Judah mi Bar-jesus a kici khat taw ki mu uh hi:

7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God,

Ama sia Sergius Paulus a kici mipil ngam ukpa taw om khawm hi; tua Sergius Paulus in Pathian thu a zak nop man in Barnabas le Saul sam hi.

8 and there withstood them Elymas the magus—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

Ahihang a min khiakna mitbum thiam a kici Elymas in, ngam ukpa sia a upna pan ki khealsak tu in Barnabas le Saul te khak hi.

9 And Saul—who also [is] Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked steadfastly on him,

Tua zawkciang in Paul zong a kici Saul sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim in, Elymas a tangtak in en a,

10 said, “O full of all guile, and all recklessness, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the right ways of the LORD?

Nang doaimangpa tapa, leilot thu le seksolna taw a kidim, phatngawlna theampo i ngal, Topa lampi pha te suksiatna pan in tawlnga ngawl lai tu ni ziam?

11 And now, behold, a hand of the LORD [is] on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season”; and instantly there fell on him a mist and darkness, and he, going around, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand;

Tu in, en in, Topa khut na tung ah om hi, na mittaw tu a, a ciangtan hun sung theampo ni na mu batu hi, ci hi. Taciang thakhatthu in a tung ah meikai le khuamial hong theng a; a khut pan a len tu te zong in pai hi.

12 then the proconsul having seen what has come to pass, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the LORD.

Tua zawkciang in ngam ukpa in a vawt te mu in um hi, Topa hilna sia lamdangsa mama hi.

13 And those around Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, turned back to Jerusalem,

Tu in Paul le a lawm te sia Paphos pan in ngunkuang taw pai uh a, Pamphylia ngam Perga theng uh hi: taciang John sia amate kung pan pai a Jerusalem ah cia kik hi.

14 and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, they sat down,

Ahihang Perga pan a pai ciang in, Pisidia ngam Antioch theng a, sabbath ni in synagogue sung ah tum in to hi.

15 and after the reading of the Law and of the Prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there be a word in you of exhortation to the people—say on.”

Taciang thukham le kamsang te a sim zawkciang ulian te in ngual paisak a, no u le nau te, mite atu in hanthotna kammal nei na hi uh le, son vun, ci hi.

16 And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, listen:

Tua zawkciang in Paul dingto in, a khut van hi, Israel mite le no Pathian zakta te, ngai vun.

17 the God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and He exalted the people in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and He brought them out of it with a high arm;

Hi Israel mite Pathian in i pu le pa te teal a, Egypt ngam ah peamta bang in a om laitak in lamsang hi, taciang a ban sangpi taw Egypt ngam pan in pusua hi.

18 and about a period of forty years He endured their conduct in the wilderness,

Taciang senneal ngam sung ah kum sawmli kiim anvak hi.

19 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided their land to them by lot.

Canaan ngam a om minam sali te a suksiat zawkciang in, amate ngam sia aisan in hawm uh hi.

20 And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges—until Samuel the prophet;

Tua zawkciang in kamsang Samuel hun hong thet ma kum zali le sawm nga sung, Pathian in thukhenmang te pia hi.

21 and thereafter they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

Tua zawkciang in amate in kumpi ngen uh a: Pathian in Benjamin minam Kish i tapa Saul sia kum sawmli sung pia hi.

22 and having removed him, He raised up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, He said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.

Saul a hepkhiat zawkciang Pathian in David sia amate kumpi tu in tungto hi; taciang ama thu Pathian in tettipan na a piak na sia, ka lungtang bang a nei Jesse tapa David ka mu zo hi, ama in ka deina theampo khuangkhim tu hi, ci hi.

23 Of this one’s seed, God, according to promise, raised to Israel a Savior—Jesus,

Pathian in ama kamciam bang in Israel te ngumtu David suan Jesus tungdingsak hi:

24 John having first preached, before His coming, an immersion of conversion to all the people of Israel;

Jesus hongpai ma in John in mawna ki sikkik na taw kisai tuiphumna thu sia Israel mite theampo tung ah hil masa zo hi.

25 and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom do you suppose I am? I am not [He], but behold, He comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [His] feet.

Taciang John in a nasep a man tu ciang in, note in keima kua nong ci uh ziam? Keima sia Ama ka hi bua hi. Ahihang, en vun, ka nung pan in khat hongpai a, a peangdap khau sutsak tu zong ka kilawm bua hi, ci hi.

26 Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

U le nau te awng, Abraham tate le note sung ah Pathian a zakta te, hi ngupna thu sia note tung ah hong kipuak a hihi.

27 for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, having not known this One, also the voices of the Prophets, which are being read every Sabbath—having judged [Him]—fulfilled,

Banghangziam cile Jerusalem a om te le ulian te in Jesus a heak ngawl uh hang ahizong, sabbath ni sim in a sim kamsang te kammal te zong a heak ngawl lai uh hu in, amate in Jesus mawsak in kamsang te thu tangtungsak uh hi.

28 and having found no cause of death, they asked of Pilate that He should be slain,

Amate in Jesus tung ah thi tak mawna a mu bua uh hi, ahihang Ama sia that tu in Pilate kung ah ngen uh hi.

29 and when they fulfilled all the things written about Him, having taken [Him] down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb;

Jesus thu a ki atkholsa theampo te sia amate in a tangtunsak zawk uh ciang, thing tung pan in khiasuk uh a, than ah vui uh hi.

30 and God raised Him out of the dead,

Ahihang Pathian in Ama sia thina pan thokiksak hi:

31 and He was seen for many days of those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

Ama taw Galilee pan Jerusalem dong a pai te in, ni tampi sung mu uh a, tua te sia midang te tung ah Ama i tetti te a hi uh hi.

32 And we proclaim good news to you—that the promise made to the fathers,

Taciang note tung ah lungdamna thupha sia kote in kong tangko uh hi, tua thu sia i pu le pa te tung a kivawt kamciam a hihi,

33 God has completed this in full to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it has been written: You are My Son—I have begotten You today.

Tua thu sia Pathian in ko a tate kung ah Jesus a thawkiksak na tungtawn in khuagkhimsak hi; Psalm ni na sung ah, Nangma sia ka Tapa na hihi, tu ni in kong nei zo hi, ci in ki atkhol hi.

34 And that He raised Him up out of the dead, to no longer return to corruption, He has said this: I will give to You the holy [blessings] of David [that are] faithful;

Taciang Ama sia muat ngawl tu in thina pan a thawkik na thu taw kisai in, David i a muantak hesuakna kong pia tu hi, ci hi.

35 for what reason He also says in another [place]: You will not give Your Holy One to see corruption;

Mundang Psalm sung ma ah, na mi Thiangtho a muatthong tu na oai bua hi, ci hi.

36 for David, indeed, having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption,

Banghangziam cile David in Pathian deina bang in ama hun mihing te atu na a sep zawkciang mu a, a pu le pa te kung ah vui in a pumpi muat hi:

37 but He whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

Ahihang Pathian in a thawkiksak pa sia, a pumpi muat ngawl hi.

38 Let it therefore be known to you, men, brothers, that the forgiveness of sins is declared to you through this One,

Tua ahikom u le nau te, hisia pa tungtawn in note tung ah maw maisakna thu kong hil uh hi, ci kong hesak hi:

39 and from all things in the Law of Moses from which you were not able to be declared righteous, everyone who is believing in this One is declared righteous;

Moses thukham tungtawn in na san thei ngawl uh thutang suana sia Jesus upna tungtawn in a um theampo na theampo pan in thutang suana nga hi.

40 see, therefore, it may not come on you that has been spoken in the Prophets:

Tua ahikom kamsang te sonkhol nate note tung ah hong thet thei ngawl natu in;

41 See, you despisers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, a work in which you may not believe, though anyone may declare [it] to you.”

En vun, no ngual selno thei te, lamdangsa vun a, lalcip tavun: banghangziam cile no hun sung ah, ka vawt nasep sia bangbang po ahizong na um bua tu uh hi, a ci thu sia kidawm vun, ci hi.

42 And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling on [them] that on the next Sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,

Taciang Judah te synagogue sung pan a pusua ciang in, Gentile mite in mai sabbath ni ciang in hi thu te hil tu in ngen uh hi.

43 and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

Mipi te kikhop a man uh ciang in, Judah mi tampi le Judah biakna sung a tum Gentile te in Paul le Barnabas te zui uh hi: Paul le Barnabas in Pathian thuthiamna sung ah om suak tu in hanthawn uh hi.

44 And on the coming Sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,

A mai nipi Sabbath ni ciang in Pathian thu ngai tu in tua khuapi sung om mi bup dektak hongpai uh hi.

45 and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul—contradicting and slandering.

Ahizong Judah mite in mihonpi a mu uh ciang in, hazatna taw kidim uh a, Paul i thuhil nate langpan le sonsia in pau uh hi.

46 And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the word of God be first spoken to you, and seeing you thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the continuous life, behold, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)

Tua zawkciang in Paul le Barnabas te sia hangsan seseam uh a, Pathian thu note kong hil phot uh kul hi: ahihang note in na vawk uh a, noma le noma tawntung nuntakna nga tu kiphu ngawl in thu na khen uh hi, en vun, ko Gentile te sang ah ka kihei zo uh hi. (aiōnios g166)

47 for so the LORD has commanded us: I have set you for a light of nations—for your being for salvation to the end of the earth.”

Banghangziam cile Topa in thu hongpiakna ah, Gentile mite khuavak hi tu in, lei mong khat dong ngupna atu hi tu in kong koi zo hi, ci hi.

48 And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the LORD, and believed—as many as were appointed to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)

Hi thu sia Gentile te in a zak uh ciang in, lungdam mama uh a, Topa thu poktek uh hi: taciang tawntung nuntakna nga tu in a koi sa te in um uh hi. (aiōnios g166)

49 and the word of the LORD was spread abroad through all the region.

Topa thu sia tua ngamsung theampo ah kizel hi.

50 And the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and put them out from their borders;

Ahihang Judah mite in biakna sang a ki pumpiak te le a zatakhuai nupi te, khuasung a om ulian te hanthawn uh hi, taciang Paul le Barnabas te nasia seseam in vawtsia uh a, amate ngamsung pan in hawlkhia uh hi.

51 and having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium,

Ahihang Paul le Barnabas te in a peang tung a bang leivui te thin uh a, Iconium sang ah pai uh hi.

52 and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.

Taciang nungzui te sia lungdamna le Tha Thiangtho taw kidim uh hi.
