Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Sawluh naw Bawipa hnukläk jah mkyüh lü jah hnim khaia ngbüki naw,
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Bawipa tuilam kläklamkie nghnumi kpamie naküt jah khit lü Jerusalema a jah lawpüi vaia, Damatet mlüha sinakoka veki am ca a ja pet vaia Jerusalema ktaiyü ngvaia veia kthäh khaia citki.
3 As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Acukba cit lü Damatet mlüh pei a pha law üng, khankhawa ka akvai cun angxita a peia vai law sawxatki.
4 And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
Acunüng, Sawluh mdeka khana kyu lü, “Sawluh, Sawluh, i vai na na mkhuimkhaki ni?” tia kthai a ngjak.
5 And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Sawluh naw, “Bawipa, nang u ni?” a ti. “Na mkhuimkha Jesuha ka kyaki ni; tia kthai a ngjak.
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
Acunsepi tho law lü mlüh da cita, acunüng na pawh vai ni mtheh khaie ni” a ti.
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Acua a hlawnga cit hngakie naw kthai ngja u sepi, u am hmu u.
8 Saul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Sawluh cun mdek üngka naw tho law be lü, hang mangki naw ipi am hmu thei se, a kut üng kaih u lü, Damatet mlüha ami cehpüi.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Mhnüp kthum khawdei am hmu lü i am eiaw lü veki.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
Acunüng, Damateta Anani ngming naki axüisaw mat veki. Pamhnam naw a ngmang üng, “Anani” a ti. Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, hia ve veng” a ti.
11 The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
Bawipa naw a veia, “Tho law lü, lam ngdüng ami tia lama cita, Sawluh naki Tasuh mlüha ka Judaha ima va suia; acua ktaiyü lü veki ni;
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
Anani ngming naki naw lut lü a mik a mdeisak be vaia, a khana a kut mtaih se, hmu päng veng” a ti.
13 But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
Anani naw, “Bawipa aw, acun cun, Jerusalem mlüha na khyangea khana a jah mkhuimkhanak, khyang ngcim khawhah mpyawng üng ka ngjaki;
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
acunüng, hia pi na ngming pyenki naküt a jah mannak vaia ktaiyü ngvaiea veia ana yah pängki ni” ti lü a msang.
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
Acunsepi, Bawipa naw, “Cita, Khyangmjükcee, sangpuxange ja Isarel khyangmjükcee venaka ka ngming cehpüi khaia ka xü ni.
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
“Ka ngminga phäha mkhuimkhanak ihlawka khamei khai tia ka ksing lawsak khai” a ti.
17 Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Acunüng, Anani cun va cit lü Sawluha venak ima lutki; a khana a kut mtaih lü, “Ka na Sawluh aw, na mika hmuhnak be vai ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am na benak vaia, na law lama Bawipa na veia ngdangki Jesuh naw a na tüih law ni” a ti.
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
Acunja, a mik üngka naw ngalipa nglawh lawa mäiha nglo law lü, a mik mdei law beki; acunüng, tho law lü, Baptican khanki.
19 He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Acunüng, a ei päng ja, aktha ve law beki. Acunüng, Damatet khawa veki axüisawea veia asäng veki.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
Sinakoka cit täih lü, Jesuh cun Pamhnama Cakpa akyaka mawng sangki.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests."
A ngthu pyen ngjaki naküt naw cäi u lü, “Hin hin, Jerusalem mlüha hina ngming pyenki naküt ja khuimkha khawikia am kya ai se? Acune cun jah khit lü ktaiyü ngvaiea veia a jah cehpüi vaia lawki ni” ami ti.
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Acunsepi, Sawluh cun a pyen johit am be law lü, Damateta vekia Judahea pyen naküta ngthu ja msang lü, Jesuh cun Khritaw kcanga akyaka mawng a jah mtheh.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Acunüng, asäng nghjawk se, Sawluh hnim khaiea Judahe nghmu u lü cengkie.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Acunsepi, Sawluh naw ami ceng a ksingei. Sawluh hnim khaiea bü u lü mkawte cun amhnüp mthana ami jah ngnäng.
25 but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Acunsepi, axüisawe naw cehpüi u lü mthana vawh üng takie naw ngvawng üngkhyüh ami ju khyak.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Acunüng, Sawluh naw Jerusalem mlüh a pha ja, axüisawe jah ngdawn hüpüi se, axüisawa kya hngaki ti am jum u lü ami van naw ami kyühei.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Banabah naw ngkhahpüi lü axüisawea veia lawpüiki naw, lama Bawipa hmu se a ngthuheipüia mawng, Damatet khawa am kyühei lü Jesuha ngming am ngthu a pyena mawng cun a jah mtheh.
28 He was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
Acukba Sawluh cun Jerusalem khawa ami veia cit hü lü Bawipa ngming am ling lü ngthu pyenki.
29 He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Krik khyü pyenki Judahea veia ngthu pyen se, ngcupüikie naw, hnim khaie a ami bü.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
Acunüng, Jumeikie naw ami ksing law üng, Ketarih khawa cehpüi u lü Tasuh khawa ami tüihin u.
31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Sangcime cun Judah, Kalile ja Samariha dim’yenak am vekie; acunüng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw ngjuk ktha jah pe lü khyang nung law u lü Bawipa cun aktäa kyühkie.
32 It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Pita cun hnün naküt üng cit hü lü Ludah mlüha veki Mhnama khyangea venaka ju citki.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
Acua khyang mat, Eni ngming naki, xo lü kum khyet a ihnak üng ngjänki a hmu.
34 Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
Pita naw, “Eni, Jesuh Khritaw naw ning mdaw be ve; tho law lü na ngjännak pyanga” ti se, acun üng, angxita tho lawki.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Ludah mlüh ja Saron mlüha vekie naküt naw, Eni hmu u lü, Bawipa veia nghlatkie.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
Jukpei mlüh k'uma Tabitah ngmingnakia nghnumi mat veki. A Krik ngming cun Dorka naki, ‘Sa khyuk’ tinaka kyaki. Acuna nghnumi cun jumei lü, akdaw bilo lü, aktäa petmsawkia nghnumia kyaki.
37 It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
Acunüng, ani cun am mya lü thi se, a yawk cun mthi u lü ima khana ami mphän.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
Acunüng, Ludah mlüh cun Jukpei mlüh khyüh am thuk, axüisawe naw Pita acua veki tia ami ksing üng, “Käh sü lü, kami veia law kawpi” tia nghui na khaia, khyang nghngih ami jah tüih.
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Acunüng, Pita cun tho law lü, ami veia cit haki. A pha ja khan ima ami cehpüi; hmeinu naküt cun a peia ngdüi u lü, Dorka naw ami veia a ve ham üng a jah pyana kcue ja jihe jah büktengsak u lü kyapkie.
40 Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Acunsepi, Pita naw ami van kpunga ja lu lawsak lü a mkhuk süm lü ktaiyüki; yawk da nglat lü “Tabitah, tho law” a ti. Acunüng, mdei law lü, Pita a hmu ja tho law lü ngawki.
41 He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Acunüng, Pita naw a kut säng lü mthoki naw, jumeikie ja hmeinue jah khü lü, akxünga a jah mhnuh.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Acun cun Jukpei mlüh üngkae ami van naw ngja u lü khyang khawha naw Bawipa jumkie.
43 It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
