Acts 1
1 The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Theophila, maa nakaw cauk lamma awh, Jesu a them saikhqi ingkaw a cawngpyinaak,
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
amah ing ak tyh ceityihkhqi venawh Ciim Myihla ak caming awi yyn nawh, khawk khana kaaina a awm hlan dy awhkaw awi ak kqawn peek khqi ce qee law hawh nyng.
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's kingdom.
Khuikhanaak a huh coengawh, vawhkaw thlangkhqi venawh hatnaak khawzah ing amah taw hqing hy tice dang sak hy. Khawnghi phlikip khuiawh dang pe nawh a mingmih a venawh Khawsa qam akawng ce kqawn pehy.
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
Hypboet taw a mingmih mi buh ami ai haih awh vawhkaw awi ve pehy: “Kai ing kak kqawn law za uhyk ti, Pa ak awikam ce qeh unawh taw Jerusalem ve koeh cehtaak kawm uk ti.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
Ikawtih Johan ingtaw tui ing baptisma ce pehy, cehlai khawnghi iqyt a dii hlanawh nangmih ing Cii Myihla ing baptisma ce hu kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
Cedawngawh kutoet na ami awm awh doet uhy, “Bawipa, Israel qam ce tuh nang dyih hly sak hawh nawh nu?” tina uhy.
7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
Cekkhqi venawh: “Pa ing amah ak caming a taak atym ingkaw khawnghi ce nangmih nami sim am ngaih hy.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
Cehlai Ciim Myihla ce nangmih ak khanawh a pha law awhtaw thaawmnaak ta kawm uk ti; cawh nangmih taw Jerusalem, Judah qam boeih ingkaw Samari qam khawmdek a dytnaak dyna kai a dyihthing na awm kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
Ve ak awi ak kqawn coengawh, a mingmih a mik huh awh khawk khan na zoek nace awm nawh, a mami huh thainaak dyna myi ing khyn zip hy.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Ceamyihna zoehna a awm ce a mi toek huiawh thlang pakkhih, hik baawk bai ing, ami venawh dyi law hy.
11 who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
Cekkqawi ing, “Klili thlangkhqi, ikawtih khanna mang unawh naming dyih khing? Khanna a kaai nami huh amyihna amah qoe a hu voei law tlaih kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
Cekcoengawh, Olive tlang ami ti awhkawng Jerusalem khawna voei uhy; ce tlang taw Jerusalem khaw kengawh awm nawh, Sabbath nynawh khin cehnaak khoek ni a hla hy.
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Ami pha awh, ami awmnaak khawi ipkhan na ce kaai uhy. Cawhkaw ak awmkhqi taw, Piter, Johan, Jakob ingkaw Mathai, Alpheaus a capa Jakob ingkaw Zealot tinawh amik khy Simon, Jakob a capa Juda, vetloek ve awm uhy.
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Cekkhqi ingkaw nukhqi, Jesu a nu Meri ingkaw a naakhqi mi kawlung kutoetna thahlynaak ing cykcah unawh kutoetna awm uhy.
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
Ce nyn awh ak cangnaak thlangkhqi ak khuiawh Piter taw dyi nawh, (ami cu boeihna siim ingkaw a thong law uhy),
16 "Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
“Koeinaakhqi, thlang a kut awh Jesu ak peekung Juda akawng awh, syn awh Ciim Myihla ing David am khaawh anak kqawn Cakciim awi ce a soep aham awm hy-
17 For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
anih ce ningnih anglakawh paa lawt nawh ve a bibi awm ana bi lawt hy,” tinak khqi hy.
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
(Cek thlang ing a khawboe seet phu a huh ing lo hun ce thlai hy; cawh ce ak chut tling na tla nawh, ak phoen ce pawk nawh ak khqikhqi awm a lengna cawn boeih hy.
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
Jerusalem awh ak awmkhqi boeih ing ce awithang ce za unawh, ce a lo hun ce a mimah ak awi na, 'Akeldama,' ti unawh, cetaw, 'Thi khawhun, tinaak ni.)
20 For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
Saam cauk awh vemyihna qeena awm hy, ‘Anih a awmnaak ce thlang ing cehta seitaw ak khuiawh uawm koeh awm seh nyng,’ ti ingkaw, ‘Sawikung anihnaak thlang chang ing ham seh nyng,' ti ce.
21 "Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Cedawngawh Bawipa Jesu ning lakawh a ceh a awm khuiawh,
22 beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
Johan a baptisma ak kqannaak awhkawng Jesu khawk khan na a kaai dy nangmih anglakawh ak awm poepa ak khui awhkaw a thawhtlaihnaak anik sim pyi khqi hamna thlang pynoet a awm ngaih hy,’ tihy.
23 They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Cedawngawh thlang pakkhih: Joseph ami ti Barsabbas (Justa tinawh awm khy bai uhy) ingkaw Matthia, ce hoep uhy.
24 They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
Cekcoengawh, “Bawipa, nang, thlak kawlung boeih ak simkung, ve ak thlang pakkhih ak khuiawh nang ing nak tyh ce nim huh khqi lah,
25 to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
Juda ing a cehtaak vawhkaw ceityih bibi ak bi hamna,” tinawh cykcah uhy.
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Cekcoengawh cekqawi ing taicung ce zyk nih saw Matthia ak khanawh tla hy; cedawngawh anih ce ceityih thlanghqa hlaioet ak noet sih uhy.
