Acts 13
1 Among the members of the church at Antioch there were several prophets and teachers – Barnabas, Simeon who was known by the name of “Black”, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, foster-brother of Prince Herod, and Saul.
Entiok chaas ni khowah nyia nyootsootte eje angta: Erah loong ah langla Barnabaas, Simoon (mimak ih men rumta), Lusius (Siren nawa angta), Manaen (Kobono Herod ih haakpanta), nyia Sool loong ah ang rumta.
2 While they were engaged in the worship of the Lord and were fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.’
Erah loong ah ih samurangsoom tong rumta doh, Esa Chiiala ih baat rumta, “Barnabaas nyia Sool ngah ih tiim raangtaan ih poon nyuutang, erah moot ah moot suh danje an.”
3 Accordingly, after fasting and prayer, they placed their hands on them and dismissed them.
Neng loong ah samurangsoom ah tong rum ano rang ah soom ih rumta, eno nengnyi khoh ni taajoh rum ano daapkaat rumta.
4 Barnabas and Saul, sent on this mission, as they were, by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.
Esa Chiiala ih kaat thuk nyu ano, Barnabaas nyia Sool Seleukia ni kanyu ano Juuloot ni Sipras hah ni daansoon kanyuuta.
5 On reaching Salamis, they began to tell the message of God in the Jewish synagogues; and they had John with them as an assistant.
Salamis ni thoknyu ano, Jehudi rangsoomnok ni Rangte jengkhaap baatkaat nyuuta. Nengnyi damdi Joon Maak ah nengnyi roong chosok suh waksiit nyuuta.
6 After passing through the whole island, they reached Paphos, where they found an astrologer who pretended to be a prophet – a Jew by birth, whose name was Barjoshua.
Paphos maang thokthok juuloot ni hah maathan angta erah di tumkhoom jomrumta, erah di Jehudi nok hah maantaan wasiit heh men ah Bar-Jesus, ngeh ih men rumta warah chomui jomrumta, erah mina rah ih ngah khowah ngeh ih kachaangta.
7 He was at the court of the Governor, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who sent for Barnabas and Saul and asked to be told God’s message.
Eno erah mih ah langla juuloot dowa kobono joonte angta, kobono ah men Sergias Paulus ngeh ih angta eno erah mina ah rapne ejat mih angta. Erah warah ih Pool nyia Barnabaas ah heh reeni Rangte jengkhaap boichaat suh poon nyuuta.
8 But Elymas, the astrologer (for that is the meaning of the word), opposed them, eager to divert the Governor’s attention from the faith.
Enoothong maantaan Elimas (Erah men ah Grik jengkhaap lam ih menha) ah ih tanghaam ih nyuuta, timnge liidoh, kobono ih nengnyi jengkhaap ah phomok hanpi ah ngeh ih samthunta.
9 However, Saul (who is the same as Paul), full of the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him and said,
Eno Sool, Pool ngeh ih uh poon kah ih rumta warah Esa Chiiala te angta; Sool ih maantaan taangko ramram ih sok
10 ‘You incarnation of deceit and all fraud! You son of the devil! You opponent of all that is good! Will you never cease to divert the straight paths of the Lord? Listen!
ano liita, “An Hakhoh luuwang sah! Mootse kaatse mathan ah erah an raangtaan ih piiara tola. An tenthun mongtham ni ethih totoh thun hu, erah thoidi Teesu tiit ami ah eki eki ih deenbaat hu!
11 The hand of the Lord is on you even now, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the sun.’ Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him, and he went feeling about for someone to guide him.
Amamah doh Teesu ih, edook ih hoon thuk ho eno rangwu latup thang ih pootsiit ang uh.” Lakdamdam di Elimas mik ah nakdat eta, eno heh lak nah joh ano diisiitte taat tum taajota.
12 When the Governor saw what had happened, he became a believer in Christ, being greatly impressed by the teaching about the Lord.
Erah tup ano kobono ih ehanhan ih hanpiita; Teesu tiit nyootsoot nyuuta suh rapne ih paatjaata.
13 After this, Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
Sool nyia heh joonte loong ah Paphos nawa Pamphilia ko Perga ngeh ih samnuthung esiit angta di juulam ih daansoon wang rumta, Joon Maak ah erah hah dowa neng ah thiinhaat rum ano Jerusalem ni ngaak wangta.
14 The others went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and took their seats.
Neng loong ah Perga nawa Pisidia hadaang Entiok ni thok rum ano, Jehudi naangtongsa ja Jehudi rangsoomnok ni tong karumta.
15 After the reading of the Law and the prophets, the synagogue leader sent them this message – ‘Friends, if you have any helpful words to address to the people, now is the time to speak.’
Moses Hootthe nyia Khowah loong ih raangthiinta ah weh rum ano, Jehudi rangsoomnok dowa saahaap loong ah ih neng suh maatbaat rumta: “Nga phono loong, noksong paangmeh suh chaankot jengkhaap je abah jeng an.”
16 So Paul rose and, motioning with his hand, said: ‘People of Israel and all here who worship God, hear what I have to say.
Pool ah toonchap ano, heh lak ah jap damdi jengta: “Ani songtongte Ijirel nok hah nyia Ranglajatte joon awaan loong; nga jeng ah boichaat thaak an!
17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, and during their stay in Egypt increased the prosperity of the people, and then with uplifted arm brought them out from that land.
Ijirel mina loong Rangte ih sengte sengwah loong ah Ijip ni nokmah wensang eh songtong kaat suh danje rumta eno erah ni songtong tokdi rapne eh jaat thuk rumta. Rangte ih Ijip hah nawa hechaan hephaan nawa ih doksiit rumta,
18 For about forty years he bore with them in the desert;
eno paang rookbaji heh ih phisaang hah ni rapne ih naan rum ano sokboi riikoi rumta.
19 then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people –
Rangte ih hah sinat ah jenthuk rum ano Kanaan hah ni hah changte eh hoonthuk rumta.
20 For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the prophet Samuel was the last.
Chaabaji rookbangnga paang lidi kok semsong rumta. Erah lih adi, Samuel khowah maang dongka di neng mat hoonte nyia tiit hoonte ah dong thukta.
21 And, when they demanded a king, God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.
Eno Luuwang suk rum kano, Rangte ih Benjamin kuh awang dowa Kis sah Sool ah neng Luuwang paang rookbaji raangtaan ih ang thukta.
22 After removing him, he raised David to the throne, and bore this testimony to him – “In David, the son of Jesse, I have found a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my purposes.”
Sool ah dokphan ano, Rangte ih Dewid ah Luuwang ang thukta. Rangte ih amah liita: ‘Ngah ih ese chohang mina ah langla Jese sah Dewid, ngah ih tiim li ang erah mootkaat ah heh kah ah.’
23 It was from this man’s descendants that God, in accordance with his promise, gave Israel a Saviour – Jesus;
Dewid sutom Jisu ah, Rangte ih heh kakham jun ih Ijirel mina puipangte ang thukta.
24 John having first proclaimed, before the appearance of Jesus, a baptism on repentance for all the people of Israel.
Jisu maang raara di, Joon ih Ijirel mina loong asuh baat rumta, maama rangdah ah sekthun ano juutem theng.
25 As John was drawing towards the end of his career, he said “What do you suppose that I am? I am not the Christ. But there is ‘one coming’ after me, whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
Eno Joon ih juutem rum ano miloong asuh cheng rumta, ‘Sen ih ngasuh o ngeh ih thun hali? Sen ih bansok han ah ngah tah angkang. Boichaat an! Nga lidoh Heh raaha, ngah bah heh lasong khook haattha uh tah angkang.’
26 Brothers and sisters, descendants of Abraham, and all those among you who worship God, it was to us that the message of this salvation was sent.
“Abraham sutom satoom, Ijirel phoh ano loong, nyia aadi Ranglajatte o mina Rangte rangsoomte eh hoon lan loong asuh jenglang: Khopiiroidong tiit ah seng raangtaan ih kaat thuk hala!
27 The people of Jerusalem and their leaders, failing to recognise Jesus, and not understanding the utterances of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Jerusalem ni songte loong nyia neng mihak phokhoh loong ebah neng Pangte ah tajatka, adoleh khowah loong ih raangthiinta le ah naangtongsa rookweh weh rumha ah tajat rumka. Erabah uh khowah jengkhaap ah amiisak ih angla, neng ih Jisu ah kaanju ih rumha.
28 They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;
Jisu ah tiim thoilam doh tek haat theng ah lajat rumkaano, Pilat suh tek haat etheng ngeh ih baat rumta.
29 and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.
Erah lih adi jirep ah Rangteele ni ban raangthiinta likhiik Jisu ah bangphak dowa datthiin rum ano beng rumta.
30 But God raised him from the dead;
Eno Rangte ih Jisu ah tek nawa ngaaksaat ih thukta,
31 and he appeared for many days to those who had gone up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and who are now witnesses for him to the people.
eno Galili nawa Jerusalem ni heh damdi roong kaatte loong ah reeni hedop hedop dongkhoomta. Amadi neng loong ah Ijirel mina raangtaan ih heh tiit baatte angla.
32 We also have good news to tell you, about the promise made to our ancestors –
Eno aadi sen suh Ruurang Ese ah thok hui hali; sengte sengwah loong asuh Rangte ih kakhamta jun ih kot ih hali; amadi hesuh hesah loong ah raangtaan ih Jisu ah tek nawa ngaakthing ih thukta. Dewid Bong leedap enyi ni raangha, ‘An nga Sah; chiinnyah ngah an Wah eh hoon lang.’
33 That our children have had this promise completely fulfilled to them by God, by his raising Jesus. That is just what is said in the second Psalm – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father.”
34 As to his raising Jesus from the dead, never again to return to corruption, this is what is said – “I will give to you the sacred promises made to David;”
Eno Rangte ih tek nawa ngaaksaat tiit ah baatta, mangbeng nah mabah uh tachaamka; ‘Ngah ih Dewid damdi kakham tang ah, Ngah ih romseetam kot ih rumha.’
35 And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said – “You will not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.”
Eho ni uh heh ih li eha, ‘An ih toongtang laksuh ah mabah uh beng nah tachaam thukko,’
36 David, after obediently doing God’s will in his own time, fell asleep and was laid by the side of his ancestors, and did undergo corruption;
Heh roidong di Dewid ah Rangte tenthun jun ih heh moot ah mokah ano tiita, erah lih adi hete hewah damdi bengkaat ano heh sak ah chaam eta.
37 but Jesus, whom God raised from the dead, did not undergo corruption.
Enoothong tek nawa ngaaksaat thukta warah bah Rangte ih emah chaam thukmuh.
38 I would, therefore, like you to know, friends, that through Jesus forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,
Ijirel phoh ano loong, Jisu mendoh ba sen rangdah ah biin anaan choh an ngeh ih baat hi; erah raangtaan ih Moses Hootthe jun di biin anaan lachote loong asuh Jisu suh laalom ano biin anaan choh ah ngeh ih baattaan hi.
39 and that, in union with him, everyone who believes in him is absolved from every sin from which under the Law of Moses you could not be absolved.
40 Beware, therefore, that what is said in the prophets does not come true of you –
Erah raangtaan ih, maama teewah ih jat etheng, khowah loong ih baatta ah likhiik sen loong ah emah naktoom ang an:
41 “Look, you despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I am doing a deed in your days – a deed which, though told you in full, you will never believe”.’
Sok thaak an teemaang mangda loong! Paatja anno ti an! Chiinnyah ngah reelang ah erah sen ih tabaam hanpi kan, o mina ih taat deen jaangbaat han bah uh ah!”
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people begged for a repetition of this teaching on the next Sabbath.
Pool nyia Barnabaas Jehudi rangsoomnok nawa dokkhoom kanyuuta adi, naangtongsa ja boot nyootsoot esuh we ngaakwang ih hansih ngeh ih miloong ah ih phanbaat rumta.
43 After the congregation had dispersed, many of the Jews, and of the converts who joined in their worship, followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue to rely on the loving kindness of God.
Loongkhoon theng nawa miloong ah tiisoon kano, Jehudi mih nyia Ranglajatte hantek mina Rangte rangsoomte eh hoon rumta eno Pool nyia Barnabaas lilih ih khoom rumta. Pool nyia Barnabaas ih Rangte minchan doh songtong an ngeh ih chaankot jengkhaap ah renbaat ih nyuuta.
44 On the following Sabbath, almost all the city gathered to hear God’s message.
Jehudi naangtongsa saalih adi samnuh dowa miloong ah Teesu tiitkhaap tiit boichaat ra rumtaha.
45 But the sight of the crowds of people filled the minds of the Jews with jealousy, and they kept contradicting Paul’s statements in violent language.
Mih khoonthokta loong ah tup rum ano Jehudi nok hah loong ah ih miksuk ih rumta, Pool jengkhaap thoidi rookmui rum ano kaanju ih rumta.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out fearlessly, and said: ‘It was necessary that the message of God should be told to you first; but, since you reject it and reckon yourselves not worthy of the eternal life – we turn to the Gentiles! (aiōnios g166)
Erabah uh Pool nyia Barnabaas ih ehanhan ih lacho laphaan ih baattaan nyu ano li rumta: “Rangte jengkhaap ah sen suh phangbaatjih angta. Enoothong sen ih lakap thoidi nyia khopiiroidong choh theethe tah angke li phiino, Ranglajatte jiinko kati. (aiōnios g166)
47 For this is the Lord’s command to us – “I have destined you for a light to the Gentiles, a means of salvation to the ends of the earth”.’
Seng Teesu ih kotahe jengdang ah langla amah: ‘Ranglajatte loong raangtaan ih sen loong ah weephaak hoon rum taha, timnge liidi arah mongrep dowa loong ah toom puipang rum asuh ah.’”
48 On hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and extolled God’s message; and all those who had been enrolled for eternal life became believers in Christ; (aiōnios g166)
Ranglajatte loong ah erah japchaat rum ano, rapne ih tenroon rumta eno Teesu jengkhaap ah phoongpha ih rumta; o mina latek roidong chote ah erah loong ah Kristaan eh hoon rumta. (aiōnios g166)
49 and the Lord’s message was carried throughout that district.
Erah hah adi Teesu Jengkhaap ah noongrep ni ruurangta.
50 But the Jews incited the women of high social standing who worshiped with them, and the leading men of the town, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their region.
Enoothong Jehudi loong ah ih samnuthung dowa Rangte rangsoomte mihak phokhoh nyia Ranglajatte minuh ejat eje loong ah rapne ih dantak rumta. Pool nyia Barnabaas ah miksuk siikhaam ih rum ano erah hah dowa phanjoot haat ih rumta.
51 They, however, shook the dust off their feet in protest,
Kaamwah wanyi ah ih neng jeng phaaki nengnyi lah dowa botla ah jaanak nyu ano Ikoniam ko ih kanyuuta.
52 and went to Iconium, leaving the disciples full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
Entiok dowa kristaan loong ah sak ni Esa Chiiala kaat kohaano tenroon ih tong rumta.
