Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Aw Theophilu lamhma kah olka ngawn tah cungkuem la ka khueh coeng.
2 until the day in which, after he had through the Holy Spirit given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
Te tah Jesuh loh a saii ham neh thuituen ham a tong lamloh Mueihla Cim dongah caeltueih rhoek a uen khohnin hil kah ni. Amih ni a. tuek tih a loh.
3 to whom also he showed himself living, after he had suffered, by many sure proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
A patang phoeiah a hing te mingphanah cungkuem neh amah loh a pai puei bal coeng. Khohnin sawmli khuiah amih taengla phoe tih Pathen ram kawng te a thui.
4 And while in assembly with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for what had been promised by the Father, which [[said he]] ye heard from me;
Te vaengah, “Jerusalem lamkah nong kolla tingtun uh lamtah kai taengkah pa olkhueh na yaak uh te rhingoel uh.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Nangmih te Johan loh tui n'nuem coeng dae khohnin muep a di mueh la Mueihla Cim neh n'nuem uh ni,” tila amih te a uen.
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Te dongah aka tingtun rhoek loh amah te a dawt uh tih, “Boeipa, tihnin ah Israel ram na thoh koinih ta,” a ti na uh.
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Tedae amih taengah, “Pa loh amah kah saithainah neh a khueh a tue khohnin he nangmih kah a ming koi la a om moenih.
8 But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Tedae nangmih soah aka thoeng Cim Mueihla kah saithainah na dang uh bitni. Te vaengah Jerusalem neh Judea pum, Samaria neh diklai khobawt duela kai kah laipai la na om uh ni,” a ti nah.
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
He rhoek he a thui tih a sawt uh vaengah Boeipa te a pom hang. Te phoeiah khomai loh amih mikhmuh lamkah voelh a doe.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Amah vaan la a caeh vaengah rhep aka hmaitang la amih te om uh. Te vaengah hlang panit loh himbai bok neh amih taengah pakcak a pai pah.
11 who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.
Te rhoi long khaw, “Galilee hlang rhoek, balae na pai uh tih vaan ke na dan uh. Jesuh he nangmih taeng lamkah vaan la a loh dongah vaan la a caeh na hmuh vaengkah a longim bangla ha pawk ni,” a ti nah.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Te phoeiah Olive la a khue tlang lamloh Jerusalem la bal uh. Tekah te Sabbath kah yincaeh khoeng Jerusalem taengah om.
13 And when they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were making their abode, namely, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
Cet uh tih imhman la a luei uh vaengah, Peter neh Johan, James neh Andrew, Philip neh Thomas, Bartholomew neh Matthai, Alphaeus capa James, namlung Simon neh James capa Judah khaw ana pah uh tih ana om uh.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Amih boeih loh huta rhoek nen khaw, Jesuh kah a manu Mary, a manuca rhoek nen khaw, thikat la om tih thangthuinah te a khuituk uh.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said, (the number of the names together was about one hundred and twenty, )
Te vaengah hnin ah Peter loh manuca rhoek kah laklung ah pai Hmuen pakhat ah ming pakhat neh aka om hlangping he ya pakul tluk tah om van tih,
16 Brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus.
“Ka hlang rhoek, ka manuca rhoek, Jesuh aka tu rhoek kah longtueng la aka om, Judas kawng dongah, David ka dongah Mueihla Cim loh a thui olcim te a soep ham a kuek.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
Te dongah mamih khuikah aka om he tae sih lamtah tahae kah bibi he hmulung neh yo saeh.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of the iniquity; and falling headlong he burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out.
Anih loh boethae phu neh khohmuen te kaelh ngawn cakhaw singling singloei lamni a om. Te dongah a laklung ah vawh tih a kotak boeih coe coeng.
19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field is called in their own tongue, Aceldamach, that is, Field of Blood.
Te dongah Jerusalem kah khosa boeih loh a hmat om coeng tih khohmuen te amah ol neh Akeldamah a sui. Te tah hlang thii khohmuen ni.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell therein;” and, “Let another take his office.”
Te dongah ni tingtoeng cabu dongah khaw, “A dap te khosoek la poeh saeh lamtah a khuiah khosa loh om boel saeh. Te phoeiah, anih kah hiphoelnah te hlang tloe loh loh pah saeh, “tila a daek.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Te dongah Boeipa Jesuh tah mamih taengah a voei a bal tue khui boeih ah hlang rhoek he mamih taengah a tingtun ham a kuek.
22 from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us, must one be made a witness with us of his resurrection.
Johan kah baptisma lamloh a tong tih mamih taeng lamkah a loh hnin duela mamih taengkah aka om longtah a thohkoepnah laipai pakhat la om van saeh,” a ti.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Te dongah Barasabbas la a khue Joseph Anih te Justus lam khaw a khue neh Matthias hlang panit te a pai sakuh.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Te phoeiah thangthui uh tih, “Soeprhaep boeih kah lungming Boeipa nang loh he rhoi khuiah tahae kah bibi neh caeltueih hmuen aka lo ham na tuek pakhat te phoe sak lah.
25 to take the part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell away, that he might go to his own place.
Amah hmuen la aka cet ham koi Judas tah palang coeng,” a ti uh.
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Te phoeiah amih rhoi ham hmulung a naan uh hatah Matthias te hmulung loh a tlak thil tih a hlaikhat nah caeltueih la a tae thiluh.
