Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Acunsepi, khyang mat Anani ngmingnaki, a khyu Saphira am veki xawi; Ani xawi naw khawhnün jawi lü,
2 and kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
a khyua ksinga khawhnün phu avang thup lü, avang däk lawpüi lü Ngsäea khaw kunga a tak law.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
Acunsepi, Pita naw, “Anani aw, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim na mhlei na khai ja, khawhnün phu avang na mji khaia, ise khawyam naw na mlung üng bi a bi ni?
4 Whiles it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Acuna khawhnün cun a ve ham üng na kaa am kyaki aw? Na jawih käna a phu haw na kaa am kya se aw? Ise hikba na ngaiki ni? Khyang na mhleiki am ni, Pamhnam na mhleiki” a ti.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it.
Acunüng, Anani naw acuna ngthu a ngjak ja kyu lü thiki; acunüng, ksingkie naküt cun aktäa kyüheikie.
6 And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him.
Acunüng, cawngpyange naw ngdüi law u lü, a yawk hlawp u lü kawtkie naw ami va k’ut.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Acunkäna, naji kthum bang anghjawk ja, a khyu i am ksing lü, lut lawki.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much.
Pita naw, “Na mtheha, khawhmün cun hihah däka aw nani jawi?” ti lü, a kthäh. Acunüng, ani naw, “Ä hihah däka ni” a ti.
9 But Peter [said] unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
Acunüng, Pita naw, “Ise Bawipaa Ngmüimkhya cam khaia nani büki ni? Tenga, na cei k’utkiea khawleh mkawt peia veki, nang pi ni kawt hnga khaie” a ti.
10 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
Acun üng angxita, a khaw kunga kyu lü thi sawxatki; acunüng, cawngpyange lut lawki he naw thi se hmu u lü, kawt u lü a ceia peia ami k’ut hnga.
11 And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
Acunüng, sangcime avan ja acuna ngjakie naküt naw aktäa kyüheikie.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Acunüng, khyangea ksunga Pamhnam naw, Ngsäea khyüh müncamkse ja cäicingnak phyaki he khawha, jah biki. Acunüng, ami cun ami ngkhä mlung mat ta u lü, Solamona mkawt ami tia, atänga nghmukie.
13 But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;
Khyang kce u pi ami veia am ngkhaw dat; acunsepi khyange naw aktäa jah mhlünmtaikie.
14 and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;
Acunüng, Bawipa jumei law kthaikia nghnumie ja kpamie khawha cun ami veia ngkhaw lawki;
15 insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.
Acunüng, Pita cit hü lü a hnge naw a jah hneh vaia am myakie cun lama jah kawt law u lü ihnake ja phakea khana ami jah takie.
16 And there also came together the multitude from the cities round about Jerusalem, bringing sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Acunüng, Jerusalem mlüh pipeia kae am myakie, khawyai ksea jah venake cun jah law püi u lü lawki he; acune cun mya be päihkie.
17 But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
Acunüng, ktaiyü ngvai säih ja a püie Sadukee law u lü ngsä he ami jah ng’eiha phäh ami khana bi vaia ngtängkie.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward.
Ngsä xawi jah man u lü thawngim üng ami jah khyum.
19 But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said,
Acunakyase mthana, Bawipa khankhawngsä mat naw thawng ksawhe jah mhmawng law lü akpung da jah cehpüiki naw,
20 Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life.
“Cit ni, temple k'uma ngdüi ni lü, khyangea veia xünnak kthaia mawng va pyen nia” a ti.
21 And when they heard [this], they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought.
Acunüng, acuna ngthu ani ngjak ja, khaw thai law üng temple k'uma lut ni lü, jah va mtheimthangki xawi. Acunsepi, ktaiyü ngvai ja a püie law u lü, bawi ja, Judah ngvaie naküt cun kawngcia mkhäm lawki he naw, angsä xawi cun thawngim üngkhyüh ami ja lawpüi vaia thawngim da khyang ami ja tüih.
22 But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told,
Acunsepi, jung ngvaie ami pha law üng thawngima angsä xawi cun am jah hmu u; acunüng, nghlat law be u lü kawngci a ami jah va mtheh,
23 saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
“Thawngim cun üp yekia ngkhai se, mtätkie pi ksawh peia ngdüi u se kami jah hmuh; acunsepi, kami mhmawng üng, a k'uma u pi am ja hmuh ve üng” ti u lü, ami ja mtheh law.
24 Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow.
Acunüng, temple mtätkie ja ktaiyü ngvaie naw acuna ngthu ami ngjak üng, hikba ngsä hea ve hin i a ngjo ni tia, aktäa cäicingkie.
25 And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people.
Acunüng, khyang mat law lü ami veia, “Teng u, thawngima khyang nami ja khyum xawi naw temple k'uma ngdüi ni lü khyange jah mtheimthang ve ni” a ti law.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, [but] without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
Acunüng, temple ngvai cun ami khyange am va cit u lü, khyange naw lung am ami jah kawng vai kyüh u lü, angsä xawi cun akdawa ami jah lawpüi be u.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
Acunüng, ja pha lawpüikie naw, Kawngci ja ktaiyü ngvai säiha hmaia jah ngdüihsak lü ami jah kthäh.
28 saying, We straitly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
“Ahina ngming am käh nani jah mthei ti vai, tia kami ning jah mtheh päng, ngthu nani ja mtheinak cun Jerusalem üng ngthang hüki, “nani pawh cun ngai nia” ti lü a jah pyen. Ania thinak hin keimi khana nani phaw lawsak vaia nani pawhki aw.
29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.
Acunsepi, Pita ja ngsä kcee naw, “Khyanga pyen kami ngaiha kthaka Pamhnama pyen ni kani ngai khawm.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.
“Nangmi naw Jesuh kutlamktung üng taih u lü, nami hnim cän kami pupaea Pamhnam naw mtho be pängki ni.
31 Him did God exalt with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
“Ani cun Pamhnam naw khawngmang ja küikyankia ve khaia Isarele ami mkhyekatnak üngkhyüh ngjut be lü ja mhlät khaia a khet da mhlünmtaiki.
32 And we are witnesses of these things; and [so is] the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Acuna saksia kani kyaki ni; Ngmüimkhya Ngcim, Pamhnam bänak cun ani kcangnakia phäh ni” a ti.
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were minded to slay them.
Acunüng, acuna ngthu kawngci vawne naw ami ngjak üng, ami mlungso law se, Ngsäe cun jah hnim law hlükie.
34 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honour of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while.
Acunsepi, Kawngci üngka khyang, a ngming Kamaleilah naki, Phariseea thum ksingki, khyange naküt üng a ngming ngthangki cun ngdüi law lü angsä xawi cun ami jah khyah be vaia a jah mtheh.
35 And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do.
Acunüng, Kawngcia veia, “Nangmi Isarel khyange aw, hin xawia khana nami pawh vaia nami bü cän cäi lü ngai ma ua.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought.
“Ahlana pi, Theuhdah naw, ‘Kei khyang sawxat am ni’ ti lü ve se; a veia khyang khawha, phyakphyü bang a veia ngdawn vaikie. Acunsepi ani cun hnim u se, a ngthu läkie naküt pi avan cencawn hü päih u lü, ia am kya bekie ni.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrollment, and drew away [some of the] people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
“Ania ve käna, ngming yu u lü ami mkhäm k'um üng, Kalilea ka Judah naki ve law beki; a veia khyang khawhah citkie. Acunsepi, ani pi thi se, a hnu läkie avan khyük päihkie.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown:
“Acunakyase, atuh ka ning jah mtheki, hina khyange käh ja pana u, ani büa ve u se; ani mkhyäp ja ani bilawh, khyanga pawh sawxata akya üng amdanga khyük be sawxat khai ni;
39 but if it is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God.
acunsepi, Pamhnama bilawha, akya üng, am jah näng thei uki; am acunüng, Pamhnam nami tukia ksaia nami kya khai ni” a ti.
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Acunüng, acuna pyen cun ngaisim u lü, angsä xawi cun jah khükie naw ami jah kpai; ami ja kpai päng üng Jesuha ngming am ngthu käh sang hü be ti khai xawia ami ja khyah be.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour for the Name.
Acunüng, Kawngci üngka naw cit be ni lü, acuna Jesuha phäh luthui hmaisetnak khamei khaia ani nglawia phäha, aktäa jekie.
42 And every day, in the temple and at home, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus [as] the Christ.
Acunüng, amhnüp tä se, temple ja khyangea ima, Jesuh Mesijah mawng cun jah mtheimthang lü sangkie.
