Acts 13
1 Now there were in Antioch, distributed through the existing assembly, —prophets and teachers: both Barnabas and Symeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also, Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother, and Saul.
Antiok mlüha sangcime üngka, sahmae ja sajae vekie; acune cun Banabah, Simeon (Khyang le), (Kurinih) khawa ka Lucia, (Herod jah upnakia dä däm lawkia) Manin ja Sawluha kyakie.
2 And, as they were publicly ministering unto the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said—Separate forthwith unto me, Barnabas and Saul, unto the work whereunto I have called them.
Acunüng, Bawipaa khüibi bi u lü ami ei ami jeih k'um üng, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw, “Khutbi khai xawia ka jah mcawna Banabah ja Sawluh cun na jah phyäi hnga ua” a ti.
3 Then, fasting and praying, and laying their hands upon them, they sent them away.
Ami ei jeih u lu ami ktaiyü law päng üng, ani khana ami kut mtaih u lü, ami ja tüih.
4 They, therefore, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down unto Seleucia, and, from thence, sailed away unto Cyprus;
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw Banabahh ja Sawluh a jah tüihnak üng Selukih mlüha ju cit ni lü, acun üngka naw Kuparuh kawnga mlawng üng citki xawi.
5 And, coming to be in Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; —and they had, John also, as an attendant.
Acunüng, Salamih mlüha ani pha üng, Judahea sinakoka Pamhnama ngthu pyenki xawi; Johan ami tia Makuh pi jah kpüi khaia ani cehpüi.
6 And, passing through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false-prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus;
Acuna kyawn avan üng cit hü ni lü, Papos cäpa cit hüki xawi; acunüng Judah khyang mat sui khyaihki a ngming Bar Jesuh naw kei sahmaki tiki ani hmuh.
7 Who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The same, calling for Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God.
Sekijah Pawluh cun Bar-Jesuh a nglawipüia kyaki. Sekijah Pawluh cun khyang kthema kya lü Papos kyawn upki kyaki. Ani naw Banabah ja Sawluh jah khü lü, Pamhnama ngthu ngai hlüki.
8 But Elymas the magician, —for so, when translated, is his name, —withstood them; seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
Acunsepi, sui khyaihki Eluma (Krik ngminga kyaki) naw jah upki cun am jumei khaia, angsä xawi a jah mah.
9 But Saul, who is also Paul, filled with Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly at him,
Sawluh naki Pawluh ami ti naw, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am be lü, acuna Bar Jesuh cun büktengki naw,
10 Said—O full of all guile, and all recklessness! Son of an adversary! Enemy of all righteousness!—Wilt thou not cease to pervert the straight ways of the Lord?
“Nang khawyaia ca ni, nang cun dawkyanaka ye ni, kpyüpyehnak naküt am na beki, Bawipaa ngthukcange hleihlaka nghlatsak khai na ktha naki!
11 Now, therefore, lo! the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun, until a fitting time. And, instantly, there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and, going about, he was seeking such as might lead him by the hand.
“Tukbäih Bawipa kut na khana pha lawki tia ksinga, khawkdei käh na hmu khaia na mik mü khai” a ti. Acun ja Eluma cun nghmüp naw jin se, a kut kha hü lü kaih khai suiki.
12 Then, the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
Acunüng, kyawn upki naw acun hmuh lü, Bawipa mawng mtheimthangnak cun müna lü aktäa kyühei lü jumeiki.
13 And, setting sail from Paphos, Paul’s company came into Perga of Pamphylia; but, John, withdrawing from them, returned unto Jerusalem.
Pawluh cun a ngkhahpüi xawi am, Papos üngka naw mlawng am cit u lü Pampulih hne Parkah mlüha pha u se, acunüng, Johan naki Makuh naw jah cehta lü, Jerusalem da nglat beki.
14 They, however, passing through from Perga, arrived at Antioch of Pisidia; and, going into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, sat down.
Acunsepi, anini cun Parkah mlüh üngka naw cit laihlaih ni lü, Pisidih hne Antiok mlüh pha ni lü, acunüng, sabbath mhnüp üng sinakoka lut ni lü ngawki xawi.
15 And, after the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue-rulers sent unto them, saying—Brethren! if there is in you a word of exhortation unto the people, say on.
Mosia Thume ja sahmaea cae ami khe law Päng üng, sinakok ngvaie naw, ani veia khyang tüih u lü, “Bena xawi aw, khyang nani jah mcäinak vaia ngthu a ve üng pyen nia” ami ti.
16 And Paul, standing up, and making a sign with his hand, said—Ye men of Israel! and such as revere God! hearken: —
Pawluh ngdüi law lü a kut säng lü, “Pamhnam kyühkia Isarele ja khyangmjükcee aw, ngai ua.
17 The God of this people Israel, chose our fathers, and, the people, he exalted, by their sojourn in the land of Egypt, —and, with a high arm, brought he them out of it;
Hina Isarel khyangmjüe Pamhnam naw, mi pupae jah xü lü, khina kba Egypt pea ami ve üng khyangmjü kdäma a pawh. Pamhnam naw a themnak am Egypt pe üngkhyüh a jah lawpüi be.
18 And, for the time of about forty years, bare with their manners in the desert;
Kum kphyükip khawkhyawng khawa a jah mcei.
19 And, overthrowing seven nations in the land of Canaan, gave them their land as an inheritance—about four hundred and fifty years.
Kanan pea khyangmjü khyüh ja näng lü acun käna acuna pe cun Isarele am a jah kanaksak.
20 And, after these things, he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
Acun käna, sahma Samuilah am a ve law ham üng, kum phyakphyü ja mhmakip ngthumkhyahkie am a jah na pet law.
21 And, from that time, they asked for themselves a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years;
Acun käna sangpuxang mso u se, Benjamina mjü üngka Kisah a cakpa Sawluh ngming naki, khawkum kphyükip ami sangpuxang vaia Pamhnam naw a jah pet.
22 And, setting him aside, raised up, David, unto them for king, —of whom he also said, bearing witness—I have found David, the son of Jesse, —[a man] according to my heart, who will do all my will.
Acun käna ani ksät lü Isarelea sangpuxang vaia Davit a mcawn be; Pamhnam naw cuna mawng cun ngsingsak lü, ‘Jisea cakpa, Davit, ka mlunga mäi mlung naki hmu veng, ani naw ka ngjakhlü naküt bi khai’ a ti.
23 From this man’s seed, hath God, according to promise, brought unto Israel, a saviour—Jesus:
Pamhnam naw khyütam a jah peta mäiha, Isarele jah küikyan khai Davita mjü üngka Jesuh a jah pet,
24 John, beforehand proclaiming, before the face of his coming in, an immersion of repentance, unto all the people of Israel.
Jesuh naw khutbi, am a tünei law ham üng, Johan naw ami mkhyekatnak nglata u lü baptican ami khan vaia Isarel khyangea veia ngthu a pyen.
25 And, as John was fulfilling his course, he was saying—Whom are ye supposing that I am? I, am not he! But lo! there cometh, after me, one of whom I am not worthy, the sandals of his feet, to loosen.
Johana khut binak a päih law hlü üng, Johan naw, ‘U a nami na ngaiki ni? Kei nami ngäng ua am kya nawng. Acunsepi, ngai u, ka hnua law khai khyang ta, kei naw ania khawdawk suh pet khaia pi am nglawi veng’ a ti.
26 Brethren! sons of the race of Abraham, and those who among you revere God, —unto you, hath this word of salvation been sent forth.
Abrahama mjü üngka ka püi Isarel khyange ja, hin üng Pamhnam hjawkhah khyangmjükcee aw, hina küikyannaka ngthu cun mi veia a jah kbi lawa kyaki.
27 For, they who were dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not recognising him, have, by judging him, fulfilled, the very voices of the prophets which every sabbath are being read;
Jerusalem mlüha vekie ja ami ngvaie naw, Jesuh cun küikyanaka Bawia, am ami ksinga phäha ja sahmaea ngthu sabbath mhnüp naküt üng ami kheh cun am ami ksinga phäha, acuna ngthue cun Jesuh ami mkat üng kümbesakie.
28 And, though no single cause of death they found, yet claimed they of Pilate that he should be slain.
A thihnak vai i am hmu u lüpi, Pilata veia hnim vaia msokie.
29 And, when they had finished all those things which, concerning him, had been written, taking him down from the tree, they put him in a tomb.
Acunüng, a mawng sahmae naküt naw ami yuk, ami kümsak käna, kutlamktung üngka naw khya u lü lungdüa ami k’ut.
30 But, God, raised him from among the dead:
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be.
31 Who appeared, during many days, unto them who had come up with him from Galilee unto Jerusalem; who, indeed, [now] are his witnesses unto the people.
Acun käna Kalile üngka naw, Jerusalema a jah cehpüi khyangea veia khaw mhnüp khawvei ngdang be se, acune cun atuh Isarel khyangea veia saksikiea kyakie.
32 We, therefore, unto you, bring the good news, as to the promise which, unto our fathers, was made, —
Keini naw pi, mi pupaea veia khyütam, thangkdaw ka ning jah mtheh lawki ni, acukba Pamhnam naw Jesuh a mthawh benak am, hina khyütam mi cae üng kümsakki, Salan anghnginak üng pi, ‘Nang ka ning cakpaa na kyaki; tungawi na paa ka kyaki’ tia ng’yuki.
33 That God hath fulfilled, the same, for our children, by raising up Jesus: as also, in the second psalm, it is written—My son, art, thou: I, this day, have begotten thee.
34 And, in that he raised him from among the dead, no more destined to return unto corruption, on this wise hath he spoken—I will give unto you the faithful lovingkindnesses of David.
Ng’uh hnüna thukyawnaka käh cit khaia Pamhnam naw ani cun thihnak üngka naw a mthawh be vaia ngthu cun hikba a pyen, ‘Davita veia ngcimcaih lü ngsingkia dawkyanak cän nang üng ka ning pet khai’ a ti.
35 Wherefore also, in a different [place], he saith—Thou wilt not give thy man of lovingkindness to see corruption.
Acunakyase, Salan kce üng pi, ‘Sitihki na mpya a thukyaw vai am tängki’ a ti sih.
36 For, David, indeed, unto his own generation having done service, by the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was added unto fathers, and saw corruption;
Davit pi, a xün k'um üng Pamhnama ngjakhlü bi a bi käna, thi se, a pupaea hlawnga k’ut u se, lungdüa kyaw pängki ni.
37 But, he whom God hath raised, did not see corruption.
Acunsepi, Pamhnam naw thihnak üngkhyüh amthawh be cun acukba am kya.
38 Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, —that, through this man, unto you, remission of sins is declared;
Acunakyase, ka püi Isarele aw, acuna Bawi Jesuh üng mkhyekat mhlätnaka ngthu kami pyen law hin nami ksing vai hlüei veng. Mosi naw am a ning jah mhlät khawh mkhye üngkhyüh ani jumeiki avan cun jah mhlät khawhki.
39 And, from all things from which ye could not, by the law of Moses, be justified, by this man, everyone that believeth, is justified.
Au pi ani jumeiki naküt cun Mosia thum naw, am a mhlät thei pi mhlät khai.
40 Be taking heed, therefore, lest that come upon you which hath been spoken in the prophets—
Acunakyase, sahmae naw ami pyen cän nami khana käh apha law vaia mcei ua.
41 See, ye despisers, and marvel, and disappear: in that, a work, am, I, working in your days, —a work, which in nowise will ye believe, though one relate it in full unto you.
Acun cun, ‘Hleihlakkie aw, bükteng ua, cäicing u lü thi ua; bi mat ka kpäng, acun cun khyang naw ning jah mtheh u sepi, nami xüna küt üng am jum uki” a ti.
42 And, as they were going out, they kept on beseeching that, on the ensuing sabbath, might be spoken unto them these things.
Pawluh ja Banabah cun Sinakok üngka naw ani lu law be üng, khyange naw, acuna ngthu cun sabbath bekce üng pi ani pyen be vaia ami jah nghuinak.
43 And, when the congregation was broken up, there followed many of the Jews, and of the devout proselytes, with Paul and Barnabas; who, indeed, in speaking unto them, went on persuading them to abide in the favour of God.
Ngkhämkie ami ngpyen be ja, Judahea ja Judah thuma ngpyawtkie khyangmjükcee naw Pawluh ja Banabah jah läk u se, Pamhnama bäkhäknak üng ami ve nglät vaia jah mcäiki xawi.
44 And, on the coming sabbath, almost all the city, was gathered together, to hear the word of God.
Acunüng, sabbath betü üng, Bawipaa ngthu ngai khaiea, mlüh üngka avan lawki he.
45 But, the Jews, seeing, the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, —and began speaking against the things which, by Paul, were being spoken, defaming them.
Acunsepi, Judahe naw khyange ami jah hmuh üng, aktäa jah cawkei u lü, Pawluha a ngthu pyen cun ngcuhpüi u lü ami ksenak.
46 And Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said—Unto you, was it necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken: seeing ye are thrusting it from you, and, unworthy, are judging yourselves of the age-abiding life, lo! we turn unto the nations; (aiōnios g166)
Acunüng, Pawluh ja Banabah naw ling ni lü, “Pamhnama ngthu nangmia veia pyen ma vaia kya kungki; acunsepi, mah u lü anglät xünnak am nami yah vaia nami pawha kya se, Pamhnama a jah ah mcäia mäiha khyangmjükceea veia ning jah nghlatak ve ning. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us—I have set thee for a light of nations, that thou mayest be for salvation unto the end of the earth.
Acukba Bawipa naw ngthu a na pet cun, ‘Khawmdeka khütnak cäpa küikyanak na bi khaia, khyangmjükceea phäha akvaia ka ning mcawnki’ tia, kyaki” a ti.
48 And they of the nations, hearing [this], began to rejoice, and to be glorifying God, and they believed—as many as had become disposed for life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
Acunüng, khyangmjükcee naw acuna ngthu ami ngjak üng je u lü Bawipaa ngthu mhlünmtaikie; acunüng, angläta xüng khaia a xü naküt naw jumkie. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord went on to be carried through the whole country.
Bawipa ngthu cun acuna khaw avan üng ngthang päihki.
50 But, the Jews, urged on the devout women of the higher class, and the chief men of the city, and roused up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, —and thrust them out from their bounds.
Acunsepi, Judahe naw mlüh ngvaie ja Pamhnam hjawkhahki khyangmjükcee üngka nghnumie ami jah ksük. Ami naw Pawluh ja Banabah jah khuimkhasak u lü acuna khaw üngka naw ami jah ksät.
51 But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came into Iconium.
Acunüng, ngsä xawi naw ani khawpha üngka mput cun khawk hüt ni lü Ikonih khawa citki xawi.
52 And, the disciples, were filled with joy, and with Holy Spirit.
Antioka vekia jumeikie cun jekyainak ja Ngmüimkhya Ngcim am bekie.
