Acts 4
1 And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
Pita ja Johan naw khyangea veia ngthu ani pyen k'um üng, ktaiyüe, Temple mtätki ngvaie ja, Sadukee cun ani veia pha lawki he,
2 being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
khyang ani ja mthei ja, Jesuha phäha khyang kthi a thaw bea ngthu ani pyena phäha, ami mlung aktäa am je.
3 And they laid hands upon them, and put them in prison until the next day; for it was now evening.
Ja man u lü, mü lama akyaa phäha, ngawi cäpa thawngim üng ami ja khyum.
4 Many however of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became five thousand.
Acunsepi, ngthu ngaikie jumei u lü; acune cun thawngmhma bang lawki he.
5 And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes,
Acunüng, a ngawia, Judah mkhawnge, ami ngvaie, thum ksinge Jerusalema ngbäm lawki he.
6 and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high-priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
Amimi cun ktaiyü ngvai säih Anna, Kaiphah, Johan, Aleksanda ja, ktaiyü ngvaia a pacae naküt üng nghmukie.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, did ye do this?
Pita ja Johan cun anglunga jah ngdüihsak u lü, “Ihawkba ahin nani pawh ni. Ia johit ja ua ngming nani sumei ni” ti u lü ami jah kthäh.
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel!
Pita naw Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be lü ami veia, “Khyanga, mkhawnge ja ngvaie aw,
9 If we are this day examined in respect to a good deed done to a cripple, by what means he hath been restored,
a khaw kxo mdaw be üng, ‘Hin hin ise daw law beki ni?’ tia tungawi keini nami jah kthäh üng,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, —by him doth this man stand here before you sound.
nami ngkhä naw ksing ua, Isarel khyange naküt naw pi ksing u se, Nazaret Jesuh Khritaw kutlamktung üng nami taih, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be, ania ngming am, hin üng nami hmaia mya lü ngdüiki.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone.
Jesuh mawng Cangcim naw a pyen ta, imsae naw ami hawiha lung cun akyäp säiha thawn law be khai, a ti.
12 And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been given among men, by which we must be saved.
Küikyannak hin ani üngkhyüh ni a law, khankhawa kea jah küikyan khaia ania thea ta Mhnam naw u pi am pe.”
13 And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
Acunüng kawngci üng ngpüikie naw Pita ja Johana ani lingnak jah hmu u lü, ca am ksingki xawi, khyang sawxat xawi tia ami ja ksing üng, aktäa cäikie; ani xawi cun ajana Jesuh hlawnga ve khawiki xawi tia ami jah ksing law.
14 And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.
Acunüng, Pita ja Johan naw ani mdaw be cun ani hlawnga ngdüi se ami hmuh ua kyase, ipi am pyen thei u.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Acunakyase kawngci k'um üngkhyüh jah ksät u lü ami mät ngthähngkhyahkie.
16 saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
“Hin xawi hin ihawkba mi jah pawh vai u ni? Müncam phya kcangki pawhki xawi ni tia, Jerusalem mlüha veki avan naw ksingkie; mimi naw pi mi ksingki.
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly forbid them with threats to speak any longer in this name to any one.
Acunsepi, khyangea veia am ani jah mtheh hü vaia, atuh üng tün lü, ua veia pi hina Jesuha ngming üng käh ani jah mtheh hü vai ja mi jah pawh vai u ami ti.”
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus.
Acunüng, Pita ja Johan jah khü u lü, Jesuha ngming pyen lü käh ani jah mthei vaia ami jah mtheh.
19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.
Acunsepi, Pita ja Johan naw ami msang ta, “Pamhnama hmuha Pamhnama ngthu ngaih hin dawki aw, nangmia ngthu ngaih hin daw bawk khai aw ti cun ngai sum u.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
Keini ta kani hmuh ja kani ngjak cun am pyen lü am ve thei ni ngü” ani ti.
21 So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.
Acunüng, kawngci ngvaie naw jah mkyüh kse hlen be tü u lü, ami jah mhlät be. Acunüng, ani bilawha phäha khyang naküt naw Pamhnam mküimtokie; khyangea phäha ami jah khuimkhanak vaia am hmu lü vekie.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.
Müncam phya khaia ani mdaw be cun kum kphyükipa kthaka dämkia kyaki.
23 And being released they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
Acunüng, Pita ja Johan cun ani lät be ja, ani püiea venaka cit ni lü, ktaiyüe ngvaie ja angvaie naw ani veia ami pyen naküt ani ja mtheh be.
24 And on hearing it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art he that made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are in them;
Acunüng, acun ami ngjak üng, atänga Pamhnama veia ami ktaiyü ta, “Bawipa aw, nang khankhaw, khawmdek ja mlik tui ja a k'uma veki naküt mhnünkia na kyaki;
25 who by the mouth of thy servant David said, “Why did the heathen rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?
nang naw, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am, na mpya Davit kami pupa naw a pyen ta, ‘Ise khyang mjü kce ami mlungsoki? Ise khyange naw, am ngtähkia ngaikie ni?
26 The kings of the earth came up, and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed.”
Khawmdek sangpuxange ja jah upkie naw atänga ngkhyum u lü, Bawipa ja Mesijah cun jah ngtük ngkhaih püikie ni’ a ti.
27 For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, did both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, assemble in this city,
“Hina mlüh üng na mpya ngcim Jesuh, Mesijaha na mcawn hneng u lü, Herod ja Pontas Pilat cun khyang mjü kcee ja Isarele akcanga ngkhyumkie ni.
28 to do whatever thy hand and thy will before determined to be done.
Thawn law khaia na khyaihnak ja na ngjak'hlüa ajana na mhnün päng cän pawh khaiea atänga ngcun lawki he.
29 And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
Acunüng, Bawipa aw, atuh ami jah mkyüh hin büktenga; na mpya xawi hin lingnak am na ngthu jah pyensaka.
30 while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are wrought through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.
Khyange jah mdaw be khai xawia, nang naw na kut säng lü; na mpya ngcim Jesuha ngming am, müncamnak ja cäicatnak jah pawhsak kawm pi” tia, ktaiyükie.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Acunüng, acukba ami ktaiyü law päng ja, ngkhäm u lü, ami venak cun ngsün lawki. Ami van Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be law u lü Pamhnama ngthu cun ling lü sangkie.
32 And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart, and of one soul; and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
Acunüng, jummeikia khyange cun, mlung mat takie. U naw pi ami ka üng ka kaa ni am ti u. Ami tak cun avan naw ng’yeteikie.
33 And with great power did the apostles give their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.
Acunüng, ngsä he naw johit däm üng Bawi Jesuha thawnak be cun saksi na u se; ami khana dawkyanak Mhnam naw jah peki.
34 For there was no one among them that was in want; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
Acunüng, ami veia hlükawki u am ve; ime ni, laie ni, jah takie naw jawi u lü, ami jawiha phu ja lawpüi u lü,
35 and laid them at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
ngsä hea khaw kunga, jah ta law u se, hlükawki üng ahlükawa kba ami jah yet.
36 And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, when interpreted, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, born in Cyprus,
Acunüng, Josep, Kuparuh khaw khyang, Levih paca, ngsä he naw Banabah ami ti, (Acun cun “ngjuktha jah pe theiki”) naw,
37 having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
a lo jawi lü, a yah ngui cun law püi lü, ngsä he üng a jah ap.
