Acts 11
1 Now the Apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judaea heard that, the nations also, had welcomed the word of God.
Judah khawa vekiea Ngsäe ja jumeikie naw, khyangmjükcee naw pi Pamhnama ngthu ja hngakie tia ami ksing.
2 And, when Peter came up unto Jerusalem, they of the circumcision began to find fault with him,
Acunüng, Pita Jerusalema a ceh üng, vun mawi hlükie khyangmjükcee naw pi Pita cun kcäh u lü,
3 Saying—he went in unto men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
“Ami vun am mawikiea ima lut lü ami veia na ei haki” ti u lü ami ngcuhpüi.
4 But Peter, making a beginning, went on to set forth the matter unto them in order, saying—
Acunsepi, Pita naw aphung üng tünei lü ja mthehki naw,
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and saw in a trance, a vision: —coming down a sort of vessel, like a large sheet, by four corners, being let down out of heaven, and it came even unto me:
“Jukpei mlüha ktaiyü lü ka veki; acunüng, jinua mäih üng khankhawa ka naw kya law se ka hmu; ka pei yea na k’et lawki;
6 Into which steadfastly looking, began to observe, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of heaven.
acun bükteng lü ka ngaikyu hui üng, khisae naküt khawmdek üng ngvak hükie ja khana khae ka jah hmuh.
7 Moreover heard a voice also, saying unto me—Rise, Peter! slay and eat.
Acunüng, kthai naw, ‘Pita, tho law, jah hnim lü ja eia’ ti se, ka ngjak.
8 But I said—By no means, Lord, because, a common or unclean thing, hath at no time entered into my mouth.
Acunsepi, kei naw, ‘Bawipa aw, acukba am kya, am ngcimcaiki ja mtüikheh ka mka üng am ju lut khawi naw’ ka ti.
9 And a voice answered, a second time, out of heaven—What things, God, hath cleansed, be not, thou, making common.
Acunsepi, khankhawa ka kthai naw, ‘Pamhnam naw a ngcimcaihsak haw cen, nang naw am ngcimki käh tia’ ti lü a na msang.
10 And, this, took place thrice, —and the whole was drawn up again into heaven;
Acukba kthum vei a ve law päng üng, avan khankhawa a jähei be.
11 And lo! immediately, three men halted at the house wherein we were, sent from Caesarea unto me.
Acunüng, khyang kthum, Ketarih mlüha kae cun ka veia jah tüi law u se, ka venaka ima pha lawki he.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also; and we entered into the house of the man,
Ngmüimkhya naw käh cücawn lü ka ja läk khaia a na tüih. Hina jumeiki khyuke naw pi na läk law hnga u se, Koneliha ima kami lutkie;
13 And he related to us how he had seen the messenger in his house, standing, and saying—Send away unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
ani naw, a ima khankhaw ngsä ngdüi se a hmuh ja, khankhaw ngsä naw a veia, ‘Jukpei mlüha khyang tüi lü, Sihmon Pita ami ti jäng laksaka;
14 Who shall speak words unto thee, whereby thou shall be saved, thou, and all thy house.
ani naw ngthu ning mtheh se, acuna ngthu am nang ja na khui im kyawnglawng cun küikyana nami kya khai’ a tia mawng a jah mtheh.
15 And, as I began to be speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also at the beginning.
Acunüng, ngthu cutei lü ka pyen law ja, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim akcüka mi khana a pha lawa mäiha, amimia khana pi pha lawki.
16 And I was put in mind of the word of the Lord, how he used to say—John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, shall be immersed in Holy Spirit.
Acunüng Bawipa ngthu, ‘Johan naw tui am khyang Baptican jah peki, acunsepi nangmi cun Ngmüimkhya Ngcim üng Baptican nami khan khai’ a ti, ka süm law beki.
17 If therefore the like free-gift God gave unto them, as even unto us, when we had believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who was, I, that could withstand God?
Pamhnam naw Bawipa Jesuh Khritaw mi jumei ja, amdanga a jah peta khawh cun khyangmjü kcee pi acuna khawh a jah pet hnga üng, kei cun ia kya lü acuna Pamhnam ka ma khai ni?” a ti.
18 And, having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying—Hence, even unto the nations, God hath granted repentance unto life.
Acuna ngthu ami ngjak ja, jum u lü, “Acuna akyaküng, Pamhnam naw khyangmjükcee haw ngjut be u lü xünnak ami ya vaia mawng cun ja pe ha ve” ti u lü Pamhnam mküimtokie.
19 They, therefore, who had been scattered abroad by reason of the tribulation that took place on account of Stephen, passed through as far as Phoenice and Cyprus and Antioch, unto no one speaking the word, save alone unto Jews.
Stephena phäha ami jah khuimkhae, Phonisia, Kuparuh ja Antiok mlüh cäpa dawng hü u lü Judah khyange dänga veia Pamhnama ngthu sang hükie.
20 And there were some from among them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who, indeed, coming unto Antioch, began speaking, even unto the Grecian Jews, announcing the glad tidings as to the Lord Jesus;
Acunsepi, avange cun Kuparuh mlüh ja Kuriniha kaea kyakie, acune naw Antiok mlüh ami pha üng, khyangmjükcee veia pi ngthu pyen u lü, Bawipa Jesuha thangkdaw ami sang.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number—they who believed—turned unto the Lord.
Bawipa johit naw jah vepüi se; khyang khawhah naw jum u lü, Bawipa veia nghlat law päihkie.
22 And the matter was reported in the hearing of the assembly that was in Jerusalem, concerning them; and they sent forth Barnabas, as far as Antioch;
Ami mawngma cun Jerusalema veki sangcim naw ngja u lü, Banabah cun Antiok mlüha ami tüih.
23 Who, arriving, and seeing the favour which was of God, rejoiced, and went on to beseech all, with the purpose of their heart, to abide [in] the Lord;
Banabah a va pha üng, Pamhnama jah pet dawkyanak hmu lü aktäa jeki, ktha na kcang u lü Bawipa üng anglät se ami khäng vaia ami van a jah mcäi.
24 Because he was a good man, and full of Holy Spirit and faith; and a considerable multitude were added unto the Lord.
Banabah cun khyang kdawa kya lü, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim ja jumeinak am bekia kyase, Bawipa veia khyang khawhah ngdawn lawki he.
25 He went away, however, unto Tarsus, to seek up Saul;
Acunüng, Banabah cun Sawluh sui khaia Tasuh mlüha citki.
26 And, finding him, he brought him unto Antioch. And so it was with them, that, for a whole year, they were brought together in the assembly, and taught a considerable multitude; also that the disciples, first in Antioch, were called, Christians.
Va hmu lü Antiok mlüha a cehpüi. Kum mät bang Sangcim üng veki khyange am hmu hnga ni lü, khyang khawha ja mtheimthangki xawi. Acuna Antiok mlüha jumeikie cun “Khritjane” tia ami jah sui law kcüka kyaki.
27 Now, in these days, there came down from Jerusalem, prophets, unto Antioch.
Acuna kcün üng, sahma avange cun Jerusalem üngka naw Antioka ju citkie.
28 And one from among them, by name Agabus, rising up, gave a sign, through means of the Spirit, that, a great famine, was coming over all the inhabited earth; which, indeed, came to pass under Claudius.
Amimi üngka mat, Akabas ngming naki ngdüi law lü khawmdek khan avan üng khawjaw law khai tia Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am a pyen; acuna khawjawnak cun Ketah sangpuxang Kalawdih naw a jah upa kcün üng pha lawki.
29 And, according as any one of the disciples was being prospered, they each one of them set apart [something] for ministering, to send unto the brethren, who dwelt in Jerusalem; —
Axüsawe naw ami khyaih khawha, Judah khawa vekiea jumeikie cun ja kpüikpak vaia ami mkhyah u.
30 Which thing they also did, sending it unto the Elders, through the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Acukba ami büa mäiha ami ja kpüikpaknak cun Banabah ja Sawluha kut üngka naw, sangcim ngvaiea veia ami jah kbi.
