Acts 1
1 The former narrative I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus both did and taught from the beginning
Theophilus awng, amasa laibu ka atna sung ah, Jesus i sep le a hilna theampo a kipat pan in,
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;
Ama a ki lakto ni dong, tuazawk Tha Thiangtho tungtawn in a tealsa sawltak te tung ah thupia hi:
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 thuak zawkciang in sawltak te in ni sawm li sung Ama mu uh a, Pathian kumpingam taw kisai thu te son hi, Ama nungta tatak hi, ci tetti kho tampi taw lak hi:
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;
Munkhat ah amate taw a ki kaikhop laitak in, Jerusalem pan koima pai ngawl tu in, Keima tung pan na zaksa uh bangma in, Pa i kamciam na ngak vun.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
Banghangziam cile John in tui taw tuiphumna hong pia takpi hi; ahihang ni tampi ma in Tha Thiangtho i tuiphumna na sang tu uh ci, ci in amate thupia hi.
6 They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel?
Tua ahikom amate munkhat a ki kaikhop tek uh ciang in, sawltak te in Jesus kung ah, Topa awng, tu in Israel te tung ah kumpingam na piakik tu ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
7 But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Pa in Ama vangletna sung ah a koisa hun le ni te sia, note i heak tu kisam ngawl hi.
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.
Ahihang note tung ah Tha Thiangtho hong thet zawkciang in, vangletna na nga tu uh hi: taciang in Jerusalem le Judah ngamsung theampo, taciang Samaria ngamsung le lei mong a tawp dong in, keima tetti te na hi tu uh hi, ci hi.
9 And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Taciang hi thu te a son zawkciang, amate in a et uh laitak in, Jesus sia a tungsang ah ki lato a; amate mutang in mei in lia hi.
10 And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel,
Tabang in vantung ah a kato sia mate in a et tek uh laitak in, en vun, amate hui ah puanpak sil in mi ni hong ding hi;
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.
Tua te in, no Galilee mite, banghang in vantung en in ding top lai nu ziam? note kung pan in van ah a ki lato na mu uh bangma in, hongpai kik tu hi, ci uh hi.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem, from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, within a sabbath-day's journey.
Tuazawkciang in amate Olive mual pan in Jerusalem ah heakkik uh hi, Olive mual sia Jerusalem pan in sabbath ni pai thei na tan khawng khuala hi.
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.
Jerusalem a thet uh ciang in, inn tung doituam ah kato tek uh a, tua mun ah, Peter, James le John, taciang Andrew, Philip le Thomas, Bartholomew le Matthew, Alphaeus tapa James, Simon Zealot, James naupa Judas te om uh hi.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer, with women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
Hiteng a vekpi lungkim in nupi te, Jesus nu Mary le a suapui te taw tatsat ngawl in thungen khawm tek uh hi.
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, )
Taciang in Peter sia a nungzui te, mihing za le kul kiim i laizang ah ding a,
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.
U le nau te awng, Tha Thiangtho in David i kam zangin a sonkholsa, Jesus man tute a makai Judas thu taw kisai in hi laithiangtho sia a tangtun hamtang kul hi.
17 For he was numbered among us, and obtained the allotment of this ministry.
Banghangziam cile ama sia eite taw a kisim khawm hi a, hi Pathian nasepna sung ah panmun nga hi.
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.
Hisia pa in phatngawlna a vawt man taw lo ciing khat lei hi; taciang a lusuk nuailam in tak in, a pumpi kisantham a, a ngil zong ke keak hi.
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.
Hi thu sia Jerusalem ah a om theampo in he uh a; tua lo sia amate kam in, Akeldama, ci uh hi, a khiakna sia, thisan lo, a cinopna a hihi.
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.”
Banghangziam cile, Psalm labu sung ah, ama omna mun sia awngthong tahen a, a sung ah kuama om heak tahen: taciang a nasep sia midang in la tahen, ci in ki atkhol hi.
21 Of these men, therefore, who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Tua ahikom Topa Jesus eite sung ah sungtum le pusuak in a om hunsung theampo,
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.
John in tuiphumna a piakpan kipan, eite kung panvan ah a ki lakto ni dong, eite taw a omkhawm te sung pan khatpo sia thawkikna thu eite taw tetti a hi tu in, nasep piak hamtang tu a hihi, ci hi.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Taciang amate in, Barsabas kici a, Justus zong a kici Joseph le Matthias te ni teal uh hi.
24 And they prayed saying, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen
Amate in, Topa awng, nangma in mi theampo i thinsung na he hi, hi te ni sung pan kua na teal ziam, ci hong lak tan,
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.
Tabang in ama in, thunit ngawlna hang in puk a, ama omna mun ah a pai Judas atu in, hi Pathian nasepna le sawltak te sung ah kihel tu hi, ci in thungen khawm uh hi.
26 And they cast lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Taciang amate in aisan uh a; aitang sia Matthias tung ah tak hi; taciang ama sia sawltak sawm le khat te taw kisim khawm hi.
