Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting to his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all were scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Male Saul khomin Stephan thi hah apompui sa. Ma nikhuo renga han Jerusalema koiindangngei hah dûk an mintong ngei kelen zoia. Hanchu tîrtonngei telloi iempu adang nâm chu Judea le Samaria ram khuotina chek an inchâi zita.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
Pathien sabei senkhatin Stephan ruok hah an phûma, mulungna takin an châ zoi.
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering house after house, and dragging both men and women, committed them to prison.
Sual chu koiindang minboipai rang bôkin in tina a lûta, iempungei nupang, pasal a kaisuo ngeia intâng ina a khum ngei zoi.
4 Now those that had been scattered abroad went through the country preaching the word.
Iempu khuotina chekinchâi ngei hah muntina an sea, thurchisa an ril tira.
5 And Philip went down to a city of Samaria, and preached to them the Christ.
Philip chu Samari khopuilien a lûta, an kôm Khrista thurchi a rila.
6 And the multitudes with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he wrought.
Mipuingeiin Philip chongril an rieta, sininkhêl a tho ngei an mûn chu a chongril ngei hah asân an rangâia.
7 For from many that had unclean spirits came they out crying with a loud voice; and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were cured.
Ramkhoringei hah inringtakin in-iekin mi tamtak sûng renga an hong jôka, phalkhatthi le kholra tamtak khom a mindam ngeia.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Ha khuo mingei hah an râisân tataka.
9 But before their arrival a certain man, named Simon, was in the city, a man practising sorcery, and amazing the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was some great person;
Ma khopui han mi inkhat a riming Simon, dôithei a oma, mi inlal takin an bea, Samari mingei han a dôi hah an kamâm tataka.
10 to whom they gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the Power of God, which is called Great.
Khopuilien sûnga mi murdi, achîn alienin a chong asân an rangâia, “Hi mi hih Pathien sinthotheina roiinpui an ti hah ani,” an tia.
11 And to him they gave heed, because they had for a long time been amazed by his sorceries.
A mitphildôi hah zora sôttak kamâm tataka an lei ti zoi sikin a chong kamâm omtak hah an rangâi ngâia.
12 But when they believed Philip, publishing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Aniatachu Pathien Rêngram thurchisa le Jisua Khrista riming Philip'n a ril hah an iem le chu nupang, pasalin baptisma an changa.
13 And Simon himself also believed, and having been baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed when he beheld the miracles and signs which were wrought.
Simon khomin a iema; baptisma a chang zoia, Philip kôm han aom bang ngâia, sininkhêl kamâmruoi a sinngei hah a mua kamâm aom sabak a tia.
14 And the apostles at Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John;
Jerusalema tîrton omngei han Samari khuoa omngei chu Pathien chong an pom zoi tih an rieta Peter le John an kôm an tîra.
15 who, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
Anni hah an tungin chu a iempu thar ngeiin Ratha Inthieng an chang theina rangin chubai an thope ngeia.
16 For it had not yet fallen upon any of them; but they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
An lâia tute chunga khom Ratha Inthieng la chum mak; Pumapa Jisua riminga baptisma an chang vai kêng ala ni.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Hanchu Peter le John'n an lu chunga kut an minngama, male Ratha Inthieng an chang zoi.
18 But Simon, seeing that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, offered them money,
Tîrtonngei han iempungei chunga kut an min ngamin Ratha Inthieng pêk an ni ti, Simon han amûn chu, Peter le John hah sum a pêk ngeia,
19 saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
“Hi anga sinthotheina hi mi pêk roi, tu chunga khom ku kut ki minngamna chita Ratha Inthieng an chang theina rangin,” a tia.
20 But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee! because thou didst think to obtain the gift of God with money.
Hannisenla, Peter'n a kôm han, “Nangma le nu sum hih meidîla se rese, Pathien manboipêk suma rochôk rang no bôk sikin!
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
Kin sinna hin kopna le rangtum dôn mak che, nu mulungrîl Pathien mitmûn adikloi sikin.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if haply the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
Masikin, hih no bôkna saloi renga hi insîr inla Pumapa kôm invûi roh, ni mindon hih nang ala ngâidam theina rangin.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
Mulungrîl bôkna khâtak ne pêla, sietnân nang a khitrap iti nang ki riet,” a tia.
24 And Simon answering said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me.
Simon'n Peter le John kôm, “Nin ti ngei hi inkhat luo ku chunga atung loina rangin nangnin rangâihoitak Pumapa kôm chubai mi thope roi,” a tia.
25 They then, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and publishing the glad tidings in many villages of the Samaritans.
Peter le John'n an thurchi le Pumapa thurchi an misîr zoiin chu Jerusalema an kîr nôka, lampuia Samari rama khuo tamtaka Thurchi Sa an misîra.
26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert way.
Pumapa tîr vântîrtonin Philip hah a chongpuia, “Inthok inla, Jerusalem renga Gaza panna lampuia saktieng ramchâr pielna han se roh,” a tia. (Atûn hin chu hi lampui hih mang nikhâi mak.)
27 And he arose and went; and lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a high officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
Masikin Philip ânthoka a sea. Ethopia rama mi inkhat an Rêngnu nuoia sinpêl milien inlaltak a sum murdi enkolpu, Jerusalema Pathien chubaimûk rangin a sea. A kîr nôk tieng chu tali chunga chuongin dêipu Isaiah lekhabu a porea.
28 was returning and sitting in his chariot; and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot.
Ratha'n Philip kôm, “Tali so va pan inla vanâi roh,” a tia.
30 And Philip ran up, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Well, but dost thou understand what thou art reading?
Hanchu Philip a tâna, dêipu Isaiah lekhabu a pore hah a rieta, no pore hah ni rietthei mo? tiin a rekela.
31 And he said, How can I, unless some one shall guide me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
“Ama'n tutên mi rilminthâr pe loiin i angin mo ki riet thei ranga?” tiin a thuona. Hanchu Philip ha tali chunga a kala a kôla insungpui rangin a koia.
32 And the passage of the scripture which he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he openeth not his mouth.
Pathien lekhabu a pore hah ma hi ani: “Belri that rang angin belri angin ama hah an tuonga, Belrite a mul eplâitak khomin a dâirek angin, Chongbai khat luo ti maka.
33 In his humiliation judgment was refused him; and who shall describe his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth.”
Ântem lâiin a roijêkna hah lâkpe'n a oma. A richisuonpârngei thurchi tûn mo ril ta nih, Rammuol renga a ringna ahek zoi sikin,” ti hi.
34 And the eunuch answering said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? Of himself, or of some other man?
Milien han Philip kôm han, “Ni ril ta, dêipu hin tu thurchi mo a misîr? Ama thurchi mo, midang thurchi mo?” tiin a rekela.
35 And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this scripture declared to him the glad tidings concerning Jesus.
Hanchu Philip'n, hi Pathien lekhabua phutin Jisua Khrista Thurchi sa a rila.
36 And as they went along the road, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch saith, See, here is water; what is there to hinder my being baptized?
An sea suk an chumin chu, tui omna an tunga, milien han “mahin tui aom, baptis ka chang loina rangin imo mikhap?” a tia.
Philip'n a kôm, “Nu mulungrîl murdi'n ni iemin chu na chang thei,” a tia. Ama han, “Ki iem,” Jisua Khrista chu Pathien nâi ani ti ki iem, tiin a thuona.
38 And he commanded that the chariot should stop; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Hanchu, tali ha an min ngama, an chuma Philip le milien hah tuia an juong sea. Philip'n Ethopia milien hah baptis a min changa.
39 But when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Tui renga an hong jôka, Pumapa Ratha Inthiengin Philip hah a lâk min manga, ama hah mu khâi maka, hankhom râisântakin a in tieng a sea.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus; and passing through, he published the glad tidings in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Philip chu mingeiin Azotus khuoa an mu nôka, hanchu a sea, Caesarea khuo a tung mâka chu khopui murdia Thurchi Sa a misîr tira.
