Acts 13
1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenaean, and Manaen, the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Antiok mlüha sangcime üngka, sahmae ja sajae vekie; acune cun Banabah, Simeon (Khyang le), (Kurinih) khawa ka Lucia, (Herod jah upnakia dä däm lawkia) Manin ja Sawluha kyakie.
2 And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
Acunüng, Bawipaa khüibi bi u lü ami ei ami jeih k'um üng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw, “Khutbi khai xawia ka jah mcawna Banabah ja Sawluh cun na jah phyäi hnga ua” a ti.
3 Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Ami ei jeih u lu ami ktaiyü law päng üng, ani khana ami kut mtaih u lü, ami ja tüih.
4 They therefore being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, came down to Seleucia, and from thence sailed to Cyprus.
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw Banabahh ja Sawluh a jah tüihnak üng Selukih mlüha ju cit ni lü, acun üngka naw Kuparuh kawnga mlawng üng citki xawi.
5 And having come to Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John as an assistant.
Acunüng, Salamih mlüha ani pha üng, Judahea sinakoka Pamhnama ngthu pyenki xawi; Johan ami tia Makuh pi jah kpüi khaia ani cehpüi.
6 And when they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magian, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus,
Acuna kyawn avan üng cit hü ni lü, Papos cäpa cit hüki xawi; acunüng Judah khyang mat sui khyaihki a ngming Bar Jesuh naw kei sahmaki tiki ani hmuh.
7 who was with the proconsul of the country, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.
Sekijah Pawluh cun Bar-Jesuh a nglawipüia kyaki. Sekijah Pawluh cun khyang kthema kya lü Papos kyawn upki kyaki. Ani naw Banabah ja Sawluh jah khü lü, Pamhnama ngthu ngai hlüki.
8 But Elymas the magian (for so is his name interpreted) withstood them, seeking so turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Acunsepi, sui khyaihki Eluma (Krik ngminga kyaki) naw jah upki cun am jumei khaia, angsä xawi a jah mah.
9 But Saul (who is also called Paul), filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him
Sawluh naki Pawluh ami ti naw, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be lü, acuna Bar Jesuh cun büktengki naw,
10 and said, O full of all deceit, and of all mischief, son of the Devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
“Nang khawyaia ca ni, nang cun dawkyanaka ye ni, kpyüpyehnak naküt am na beki, Bawipaa ngthukcange hleihlaka nghlatsak khai na ktha naki!
11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou wilt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought to find some who would lead him by the hand.
“Tukbäih Bawipa kut na khana pha lawki tia ksinga, khawkdei käh na hmu khaia na mik mü khai” a ti. Acun ja Eluma cun nghmüp naw jin se, a kut kha hü lü kaih khai suiki.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what had taken place, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
Acunüng, kyawn upki naw acun hmuh lü, Bawipa mawng mtheimthangnak cun müna lü aktäa kyühei lü jumeiki.
13 And Paul and his company, having put to sea from Paphos, came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.
Pawluh cun a ngkhahpüi xawi am, Papos üngka naw mlawng am cit u lü Pampulih hne Parkah mlüha pha u se, acunüng, Johan naki Makuh naw jah cehta lü, Jerusalem da nglat beki.
14 And they, going on from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and sat down.
Acunsepi, anini cun Parkah mlüh üngka naw cit laihlaih ni lü, Pisidih hne Antiok mlüh pha ni lü, acunüng, sabbath mhnüp üng sinakoka lut ni lü ngawki xawi.
15 And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.
Mosia Thume ja sahmaea cae ami khe law Päng üng, sinakok ngvaie naw, ani veia khyang tüih u lü, “Bena xawi aw, khyang nani jah mcäinak vaia ngthu a ve üng pyen nia” ami ti.
16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoned with his hand and said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken.
Pawluh ngdüi law lü a kut säng lü, “Pamhnam kyühkia Isarele ja khyangmjükcee aw, ngai ua.
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and he exalted the people in their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm he brought them out of it;
Hina Isarel khyangmjüe Pamhnam naw, mi pupae jah xü lü, khina kba Egypt pea ami ve üng khyangmjü kdäma a pawh. Pamhnam naw a themnak am Egypt pe üngkhyüh a jah lawpüi be.
18 and for about forty years he nourished them in the wilderness.
Kum kphyükip khawkhyawng khawa a jah mcei.
19 And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as a possession.
Kanan pea khyangmjü khyüh ja näng lü acun käna acuna pe cun Isarele am a jah kanaksak.
20 And after that, for about four hundred and fifty years, he gave judges, until Samuel the prophet.
Acun käna, sahma Samuilah am a ve law ham üng, kum phyakphyü ja mhmakip ngthumkhyahkie am a jah na pet law.
21 And afterward they asked for a king; and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;
Acun käna sangpuxang mso u se, Benjamina mjü üngka Kisah a cakpa Sawluh ngming naki, khawkum kphyükip ami sangpuxang vaia Pamhnam naw a jah pet.
22 and having removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king, to whom he gave testimony, saying, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.”
Acun käna ani ksät lü Isarelea sangpuxang vaia Davit a mcawn be; Pamhnam naw cuna mawng cun ngsingsak lü, ‘Jisea cakpa, Davit, ka mlunga mäi mlung naki hmu veng, ani naw ka ngjakhlü naküt bi khai’ a ti.
23 From the seed of this man hath God, according to his promise, brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
Pamhnam naw khyütam a jah peta mäiha, Isarele jah küikyan khai Davita mjü üngka Jesuh a jah pet,
24 before whose coming forward John had first preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Jesuh naw khutbi, am a tünei law ham üng, Johan naw ami mkhyekatnak nglata u lü baptican ami khan vaia Isarel khyangea veia ngthu a pyen.
25 And as John was finishing his course, he said, Who do ye think that I am? I am not He. But lo I there cometh after me one, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
Johana khut binak a päih law hlü üng, Johan naw, ‘U a nami na ngaiki ni? Kei nami ngäng ua am kya nawng. Acunsepi, ngai u, ka hnua law khai khyang ta, kei naw ania khawdawk suh pet khaia pi am nglawi veng’ a ti.
26 Brethren, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you was the word of this salvation sent forth.
Abrahama mjü üngka ka püi Isarel khyange ja, hin üng Pamhnam hjawkhah khyangmjükcee aw, hina küikyannaka ngthu cun mi veia a jah kbi lawa kyaki.
27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled them in condemning him.
Jerusalem mlüha vekie ja ami ngvaie naw, Jesuh cun küikyanaka Bawia, am ami ksinga phäha ja sahmaea ngthu sabbath mhnüp naküt üng ami kheh cun am ami ksinga phäha, acuna ngthue cun Jesuh ami mkat üng kümbesakie.
28 And though they found nothing deserving death in him, they asked of Pilate that he should be slain.
A thihnak vai i am hmu u lüpi, Pilata veia hnim vaia msokie.
29 And when they had accomplished all that was written of him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.
Acunüng, a mawng sahmae naküt naw ami yuk, ami kümsak käna, kutlamktung üngka naw khya u lü lungdüa ami k’ut.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be.
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.
Acun käna Kalile üngka naw, Jerusalema a jah cehpüi khyangea veia khaw mhnüp khawvei ngdang be se, acune cun atuh Isarel khyangea veia saksikiea kyakie.
32 And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was made to the fathers
Keini naw pi, mi pupaea veia khyütam, thangkdaw ka ning jah mtheh lawki ni, acukba Pamhnam naw Jesuh a mthawh benak am, hina khyütam mi cae üng kümsakki, Salan anghnginak üng pi, ‘Nang ka ning cakpaa na kyaki; tungawi na paa ka kyaki’ tia ng’yuki.
33 God hath fulfilled to us their children, in raising up Jesus [[from the dead]]; as it is also written in the first Psalm: “Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee.”
34 And that he raised him up from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath thus spoken: “I will give you the sure holy things promised to David.”
Ng’uh hnüna thukyawnaka käh cit khaia Pamhnam naw ani cun thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be vaia ngthu cun hikba a pyen, ‘Davita veia ngcimcaih lü ngsingkia dawkyanak cän nang üng ka ning pet khai’ a ti.
35 Wherefore also in another Psalm he saith, “Thou wilt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption:”
Acunakyase, Salan kce üng pi, ‘Sitihki na mpya a thukyaw vai am tängki’ a ti sih.
36 For David, after having in his own generation served the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption;
Davit pi, a xün k'um üng Pamhnama ngjakhlü bi a bi käna, thi se, a pupaea hlawnga k’ut u se, lungdüa kyaw pängki ni.
37 but he whom God raised from the dead did not see corruption.
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngkhyüh amthawh be cun acukba am kya.
38 Be it therefore known to you, brethren, that through this man is announced to you the forgiveness of sins;
Acunakyase, ka püi Isarele aw, acuna Bawi Jesuh üng mkhyekat mhlätnaka ngthu kami pyen law hin nami ksing vai hlüei veng. Mosi naw am a ning jah mhlät khawh mkhye üngkhyüh ani jumeiki avan cun jah mhlät khawhki.
39 and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Au pi ani jumeiki naküt cun Mosia thum naw, am a mhlät thei pi mhlät khai.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the Prophets,
Acunakyase, sahmae naw ami pyen cän nami khana käh apha law vaia mcei ua.
41 “Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish! for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will not believe, though one should plainly declare it to you.”
Acun cun, ‘Hleihlakkie aw, bükteng ua, cäicing u lü thi ua; bi mat ka kpäng, acun cun khyang naw ning jah mtheh u sepi, nami xüna küt üng am jum uki” a ti.
42 And as they were going out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them on the next sabbath.
Pawluh ja Banabah cun Sinakok üngka naw ani lu law be üng, khyange naw, acuna ngthu cun sabbath bekce üng pi ani pyen be vaia ami jah nghuinak.
43 And when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and proselyte worshippers followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.
Ngkhämkie ami ngpyen be ja, Judahea ja Judah thuma ngpyawtkie khyangmjükcee naw Pawluh ja Banabah jah läk u se, Pamhnama bäkhäknak üng ami ve nglät vaia jah mcäiki xawi.
44 And on the next sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of the Lord.
Acunüng, sabbath betü üng, Bawipaa ngthu ngai khaiea, mlüh üngka avan lawki he.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with indignation, and spoke against what was spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
Acunsepi, Judahe naw khyange ami jah hmuh üng, aktäa jah cawkei u lü, Pawluha a ngthu pyen cun ngcuhpüi u lü ami ksenak.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly and plainly, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of the everlasting life, lo! we turn to the gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Acunüng, Pawluh ja Banabah naw ling ni lü, “Pamhnama ngthu nangmia veia pyen ma vaia kya kungki; acunsepi, mah u lü anglät xünnak am nami yah vaia nami pawha kya se, Pamhnama a jah ah mcäia mäiha khyangmjükceea veia ning jah nghlatak ve ning. (aiōnios g166)
47 For thus hath the Lord commanded us: “I have set thee to be a light of the gentiles, that thou mayst bring salvation even to the end of the earth.”
Acukba Bawipa naw ngthu a na pet cun, ‘Khawmdeka khütnak cäpa küikyanak na bi khaia, khyangmjükceea phäha akvaia ka ning mcawnki’ tia, kyaki” a ti.
48 And when the gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were ordained to everlasting life, believed. (aiōnios g166)
Acunüng, khyangmjükcee naw acuna ngthu ami ngjak üng je u lü Bawipaa ngthu mhlünmtaikie; acunüng, angläta xüng khaia a xü naküt naw jumkie. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout the whole country.
Bawipa ngthu cun acuna khaw avan üng ngthang päihki.
50 But the Jews stirred up the women of rank who worshipped God, and the chief men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them from their borders.
Acunsepi, Judahe naw mlüh ngvaie ja Pamhnam hjawkhahki khyangmjükcee üngka nghnumie ami jah ksük. Ami naw Pawluh ja Banabah jah khuimkhasak u lü acuna khaw üngka naw ami jah ksät.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Acunüng, ngsä xawi naw ani khawpha üngka mput cun khawk hüt ni lü Ikonih khawa citki xawi.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Antioka vekia jumeikie cun jekyainak ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am bekie.
