Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the LORD, having gone to the chief priest,
Sawl ni Bawipa a hnukkâbangnaw hah a pakhi teh thei hanlah ngainae a tawn, ahni ni vaihma kacue koe a cei teh,
2 asked from him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, that if he may find any being of The Way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Damaskas kho e sinakoknaw koe poe hanelah panue nahane ca a hei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa lamthung ka dawn e naw tongpa hoi napui thoseh, a hmu e pueng katek vaiteh Jerusalem lah hrawi thai na hanelah doeh.
3 And in the going, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly there shone around him a light from Heaven,
Hottelah ahni ni a cei teh Damaskas khopui teng a pha navah, kalvan lahoi angnae ni pheng a tue.
4 and having fallen on the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
Talai dawk a rawp teh, Sawl, Sawl bangkong kai na rektap telah ahni koe dei e lawk a thai.
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And the LORD said, “I am Jesus whom you persecute; [[hard for you to kick at the goads”;
Bawipa nang apimaw, telah a pacei navah Bawipa ni kai teh nang ni na rektap e Jisuh doeh.
6 trembling also, and astonished, he said, “Lord, what do You wish me to do?” And the LORD [said] to him, ]] “Arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told [to] you what you must do.”
Thaw nateh kho thung kâen lah, na sak hane thaw na dei pouh han, telah atipouh.
7 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice but seeing no one,
Ahni hoi kahlawng rei kacetnaw ni lawk teh a thai awh ei apihai a hmu awh hoeh dawkvah muen a ka ngai awh teh lawkkamuem lahoi hawvah a kangdue awh.
8 and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,
Sawl teh hluet a thaw ei banghai a hmu thai hoeh dawkvah, taminaw ni a kut dawk hoi a hrawi teh, Damaskas khopui lah a ceikhai awh.
9 and he was three days without seeing, and he neither ate nor drank.
Ahni teh hnin thum touh thung a mit a dawn teh rawca cat laipalah ao.
10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the LORD said to him in a vision, “Ananias”; and he said, “Behold me, Lord”;
Damaskas kho dawk Ananias tie a hnukkâbang buet touh ao. Kamnuenae lahoi, Bawipa ni, Ananias telah a kaw. Ahni ni, kai hivah ka o, Bawipa, telah atipouh.
11 and the LORD [says] to him, “Having risen, go on to the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he prays,
Bawipa ni ahni koe, thaw nateh, lam kalan tie koevah cet nateh Judah im vah Tarshish tami, Sawl tie hah tawng haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh a ratoum lahun.
12 and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.”
A kamnuenae dawk a mit kho bout a hmu thai nahanlah Ananias tie a kâen vaiteh a van vah kut a toung e a hmu, telah a ti.
13 And Ananias answered, “LORD, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your holy ones in Jerusalem,
Ananias ni, Bawipa, ahni ni Jerusalem kho e na tami kathoungnaw koe hno kahawihoehe moi a sak tie tami moikapap ni a dei e ka thai.
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Your Name.”
Vaihma bawinaw koehoi kâtawnnae hoi hivah a tho. Na min kakawnaw pueng man thainae kâ a tawn, telah atipouh.
15 And the LORD said to him, “Go, because this one is a chosen vessel to Me, to carry My Name before nations and kings—also the sons of Israel;
Hateiteh, Bawipa ni cet haw ahni teh Jentelnaw, siangpahrangnaw hoi Isarelnaw hmalah ka min ka sin hanelah ka rawi toe.
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for My Name.”
Ahni teh ka min kecu dawk rucatnae a khang hane naw ka panue sak han, telah a ti.
17 And Ananias went away, and entered into the house, and having put on him [his] hands, said, “Saul, brother, the LORD has sent me—Jesus who appeared to you in the way in which you were coming—that you may see again, and may be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Hahoi, Ananias ni a cei teh, imthungkhu vah a kâen. Sawl van vah a kut a toung teh, ka nawngha, Sawl na tho nah lam vah nang koe ka kamnuek e Bawipa Jisuh ni na mit bout ang sak teh, Kathoung Muitha hoi na kawi thai nahan kai na patoun, telah atipouh.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he also saw again instantly, and having risen, was immersed,
Hatnavah, vai touh lahoi a mit dawk hoi tanga lakep patetlah a kâkhawk teh, kho bout a hmu thai. Ahni ni a thaw teh Baptisma a coe.
19 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
Hahoi, rawca a ca hnukkhu a tha bout a sai. Sawl teh Damaskas khovah a hnukkâbangnaw koevah dongdengca ao.
20 and immediately he was preaching the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Sawl ni Khrih teh Cathut e ca doeh telah sinakoknaw dawk tang a pâpho.
21 And all those hearing were amazed and said, “Is this not he who laid waste in Jerusalem those calling on this Name, and here to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”
Hote lawk ka thai e naw abuemlah ni kângairu awh teh, hete tami teh Jerusalem kho e Bawipa min kakawnaw raphoe hanlah ka kâyawm e tami nahoehmaw, Ahnimanaw katek vaiteh vaihma bawinaw koevah hrawi hanelah hivah ka tho e nahoehmaw telah ati awh.
22 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Hatei, Sawl teh a tha hoe ao. Jisuh teh Khrih doeh ati teh kampangkhai dawkvah Damaskas kho kaawm e Judahnaw hah a kângairu sak.
23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
A hnin moi ao toteh, Judahnaw ni Sawl hah thei hanlah kho a khang awh.
24 and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
Hatei, Sawl ni a khokhang awh e a panue. Sawl thei hanelah kho a khang awh dawkvah tangmin tangtho longkha hah a ring awh.
25 and the disciples having taken him, by night let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
Hatnavah, a hnukkâbangnaw ni Sawl hah a hrawi awh teh, tangmin vah tapawm dawk hoi kho kalupnae rapan hloilah a pabo awh.
26 And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, tried to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,
Sawl ni Jerusalem a pha navah, a hnukkâbangnaw koe huiko hanlah a panki eiteh a yuem awh hoeh dawkvah a taki awh.
27 and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he saw the LORD in the way, and that He spoke to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the Name of Jesus.
Hatei Barnabas koevah bangtelamaw, Bawipa a hmu teh, Bawipa ni Sawl koe bangtelamaw lawk a dei tie naw hoi Damaskas kho dawk Jisuh min taranhawi lahoi a pâpho e kongnaw kacaicalah a dei pouh.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
Sawl teh Jerusalem vah gunceinaw hoi rei a ceio navah, Bawipa min lahoi taranhawi laihoi a pâpho awh.
29 and speaking boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus; he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,
Sawl teh Grik lawk ka dei e Judahnaw hoi a kâoun awh teh ahnimouh ni Sawl teh thei hanlah a kâcai awh.
30 and the brothers having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Hote kong hah a hmaunawnghanaw ni a thai awh navah, Kaisarea kho lah a ceikhai awh teh, Tarshish kho lah a patoun awh.
31 Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and going on in the fear of the LORD, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Hatnavah Judah kho, Galilee kho, Samaria kho kaawm e kawhmoun pueng ni teh karoumcalah ao awh. Ahnimanaw ni Bawipa takinae dawk thoseh, Kathoung Muitha e thapoenae dawk hai thoseh, a hring awh teh tami hoe a pung awh.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, passing throughout all [quarters], also came down to the holy ones who were dwelling at Lydda,
Piter ni hnintangkuem kahlawng a cei teh Lidda khovah a pha. Hote kho dawk kaawm e tami kathoungnaw koe a pai.
33 and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name—for eight years laid on a pallet—who was paralytic,
Hote kho dawkvah Aeneas tie tami teh kum taroe touh thung a kamkhuen teh ikhun dawk sut ayan e hah a hmu.
34 and Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you; arise and spread for yourself”; and immediately he rose,
Hatnavah Piter ni Aeneas koe Jisuh ni nang teh na dam sak toe, thaw nateh na iphah kalawng leih, atipouh navah ahni teh hluet tang a thaw.
35 and all those dwelling at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the LORD.
Lidda kho hoi Sharon kho e kaawm e naw ni ahni a hmu awh navah Cathut koe lah a lungkâthung awh.
36 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha (which interpreted, is called Dorcas); this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;
Joppa kho kaawm e Dawka tie Tabitha teh a hnukkâbang e napui buet touh lah ao. Ahni teh hnokahawi pou ka sak ni teh poenae lahoi thaw ka tawk e lah ao.
37 and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
Hatnae hnin navah ahni teh a pataw dawk a due. Taminaw ni a ro teh tui a pâhluk awh hnukkhu imvan e irakhan dawk a ta awh.
38 and Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men to him, calling on him not to delay to come through to them.
Joppa kho pui teh Lidda khopui hoi a hnai dawkvah Lidda khothung vah Piter ao tie a hnukkâbangnaw ni a thai toteh ahni koe tami kahni touh a patoun awh. Kaimanaw koevah karang tho ei telah ati pouh.
39 And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.
Hatdawkvah, Piter ni hluet a thaw teh ahnimouh hoi imvan e rakhan thung cungtalah a kâen. Piter a pha toteh lahmainunaw ni Piter e a teng a kangdue awh teh a kâ awh. Ahnimanaw ni Dawka a hring nah a khui e khohnanaw a pâtue awh.
40 And Peter having put them all forth outside, having bowed the knees, prayed, and having turned to the body, said, “Tabitha, arise”; and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,
Piter ni ahnimanaw alawilah a tâco sak hnukkhu, a khokcuengkhuem teh a ratoum. Hahoi a ro koe lah a kamlang teh Tabitha thaw leih atipouh navah ahni teh a mit a padai teh Piter hah a hmu toteh a thaw teh a tahung.
41 and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive,
Hahoi Piter ni Dawka hah a kut dawk hoi a pathaw teh a kangdue sak. Tami kathoungnaw hoi lahmainunaw a kaw teh bout a hring toe telah ahnimouh koe a patue.
42 and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the LORD;
Hote kamthang teh Joppa kho thung pueng dawk a kamthang teh tami moikapap ni Bawipa a yuem awh.
43 and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
Hot hnukkhu hoi Piter teh Joppa kho dawk phaivuen ka sak e Simon im vah hnin ka saw lah ao.
