Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Sawluh naw Bawipa hnukläk jah mkyüh lü jah hnim khaia ngbüki naw,
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Bawipa tuilam kläklamkie nghnumi kpamie naküt jah khit lü Jerusalema a jah lawpüi vaia, Damatet mlüha sinakoka veki am ca a ja pet vaia Jerusalema ktaiyü ngvaia veia kthäh khaia citki.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
Acukba cit lü Damatet mlüh pei a pha law üng, khankhawa ka akvai cun angxita a peia vai law sawxatki.
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Acunüng, Sawluh mdeka khana kyu lü, “Sawluh, Sawluh, i vai na na mkhuimkhaki ni?” tia kthai a ngjak.
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Sawluh naw, “Bawipa, nang u ni?” a ti. “Na mkhuimkha Jesuha ka kyaki ni; tia kthai a ngjak.
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Acunsepi tho law lü mlüh da cita, acunüng na pawh vai ni mtheh khaie ni” a ti.
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Acua a hlawnga cit hngakie naw kthai ngja u sepi, u am hmu u.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Sawluh cun mdek üngka naw tho law be lü, hang mangki naw ipi am hmu thei se, a kut üng kaih u lü, Damatet mlüha ami cehpüi.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Mhnüp kthum khawdei am hmu lü i am eiaw lü veki.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Acunüng, Damateta Anani ngming naki axüisaw mat veki. Pamhnam naw a ngmang üng, “Anani” a ti. Ani naw, “Bawipa aw, hia ve veng” a ti.
11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
Bawipa naw a veia, “Tho law lü, lam ngdüng ami tia lama cita, Sawluh naki Tasuh mlüha ka Judaha ima va suia; acua ktaiyü lü veki ni;
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
Anani ngming naki naw lut lü a mik a mdeisak be vaia, a khana a kut mtaih se, hmu päng veng” a ti.
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
Anani naw, “Bawipa aw, acun cun, Jerusalem mlüha na khyangea khana a jah mkhuimkhanak, khyang ngcim khawhah mpyawng üng ka ngjaki;
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
acunüng, hia pi na ngming pyenki naküt a jah mannak vaia ktaiyü ngvaiea veia ana yah pängki ni” ti lü a msang.
15 But the Lord said to him, Go; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel.
Acunsepi, Bawipa naw, “Cita, Khyangmjükcee, sangpuxange ja Isarel khyangmjükcee venaka ka ngming cehpüi khaia ka xü ni.
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
“Ka ngminga phäha mkhuimkhanak ihlawka khamei khai tia ka ksing lawsak khai” a ti.
17 And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Acunüng, Anani cun va cit lü Sawluha venak ima lutki; a khana a kut mtaih lü, “Ka na Sawluh aw, na mika hmuhnak be vai ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am na benak vaia, na law lama Bawipa na veia ngdangki Jesuh naw a na tüih law ni” a ti.
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Acunja, a mik üngka naw ngalipa nglawh lawa mäiha nglo law lü, a mik mdei law beki; acunüng, tho law lü, Baptican khanki.
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
Acunüng, a ei päng ja, aktha ve law beki. Acunüng, Damatet khawa veki axüisawea veia asäng veki.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Sinakoka cit täih lü, Jesuh cun Pamhnama Cakpa akyaka mawng sangki.
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may bring them bound to the chief priests.
A ngthu pyen ngjaki naküt naw cäi u lü, “Hin hin, Jerusalem mlüha hina ngming pyenki naküt ja khuimkha khawikia am kya ai se? Acune cun jah khit lü ktaiyü ngvaiea veia a jah cehpüi vaia lawki ni” ami ti.
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Acunsepi, Sawluh cun a pyen johit am be law lü, Damateta vekia Judahea pyen naküta ngthu ja msang lü, Jesuh cun Khritaw kcanga akyaka mawng a jah mtheh.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Acunüng, asäng nghjawk se, Sawluh hnim khaiea Judahe nghmu u lü cengkie.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Acunsepi, Sawluh naw ami ceng a ksingei. Sawluh hnim khaiea bü u lü mkawte cun amhnüp mthana ami jah ngnäng.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Acunsepi, axüisawe naw cehpüi u lü mthana vawh üng takie naw ngvawng üngkhyüh ami ju khyak.
26 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Acunüng, Sawluh naw Jerusalem mlüh a pha ja, axüisawe jah ngdawn hüpüi se, axüisawa kya hngaki ti am jum u lü ami van naw ami kyühei.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Banabah naw ngkhahpüi lü axüisawea veia lawpüiki naw, lama Bawipa hmu se a ngthuheipüia mawng, Damatet khawa am kyühei lü Jesuha ngming am ngthu a pyena mawng cun a jah mtheh.
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Acukba Sawluh cun Jerusalem khawa ami veia cit hü lü Bawipa ngming am ling lü ngthu pyenki.
29 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay him.
Krik khyü pyenki Judahea veia ngthu pyen se, ngcupüikie naw, hnim khaie a ami bü.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Acunüng, Jumeikie naw ami ksing law üng, Ketarih khawa cehpüi u lü Tasuh khawa ami tüihin u.
31 The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
Sangcime cun Judah, Kalile ja Samariha dim’yenak am vekie; acunüng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw ngjuk ktha jah pe lü khyang nung law u lü Bawipa cun aktäa kyühkie.
32 And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
Pita cun hnün naküt üng cit hü lü Ludah mlüha veki Mhnama khyangea venaka ju citki.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Acua khyang mat, Eni ngming naki, xo lü kum khyet a ihnak üng ngjänki a hmu.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Pita naw, “Eni, Jesuh Khritaw naw ning mdaw be ve; tho law lü na ngjännak pyanga” ti se, acun üng, angxita tho lawki.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Ludah mlüh ja Saron mlüha vekie naküt naw, Eni hmu u lü, Bawipa veia nghlatkie.
36 Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
Jukpei mlüh k'uma Tabitah ngmingnakia nghnumi mat veki. A Krik ngming cun Dorka naki, ‘Sa khyuk’ tinaka kyaki. Acuna nghnumi cun jumei lü, akdaw bilo lü, aktäa petmsawkia nghnumia kyaki.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Acunüng, ani cun am mya lü thi se, a yawk cun mthi u lü ima khana ami mphän.
38 And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come to us.
Acunüng, Ludah mlüh cun Jukpei mlüh khyüh am thuk, axüisawe naw Pita acua veki tia ami ksing üng, “Käh sü lü, kami veia law kawpi” tia nghui na khaia, khyang nghngih ami jah tüih.
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas made while she was with them.
Acunüng, Pita cun tho law lü, ami veia cit haki. A pha ja khan ima ami cehpüi; hmeinu naküt cun a peia ngdüi u lü, Dorka naw ami veia a ve ham üng a jah pyana kcue ja jihe jah büktengsak u lü kyapkie.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
Acunsepi, Pita naw ami van kpunga ja lu lawsak lü a mkhuk süm lü ktaiyüki; yawk da nglat lü “Tabitah, tho law” a ti. Acunüng, mdei law lü, Pita a hmu ja tho law lü ngawki.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Acunüng, Pita naw a kut säng lü mthoki naw, jumeikie ja hmeinue jah khü lü, akxünga a jah mhnuh.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Acun cun Jukpei mlüh üngkae ami van naw ngja u lü khyang khawha naw Bawipa jumkie.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
