Acts 8
1 And, Saul, was taking pleasure with them in his death. Moreover there arose, in that day, a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem; [and], all, were scattered abroad throughout the countries of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Taciang Stephen i thina ah Sawl a lungkim hi. Tua hun sung in Jerusalem pawlpi langpan in vawtsiatna lianpi om hi; sawltak te simngawl, thu um mite theampo sia Judah ngam le Samaria ngam muntheampo ah peakkeak uh hi.
2 Howbeit reverent men assisted at the burial of Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.
Stephen sia biakna sang a kipia mite in zawng in vui uh hi, taciang nasiatak in kaa uh hi.
3 But, Saul, went on to lay waste the assembly, along the houses, going in, and, dragging off both men and women, was
Saul sia inn sim ah tum a, numei pasal ci ngawl in kaikeak siat hi, taciang thonginn ah ap in, pawlpi susia hi.
4 They, indeed, therefore, who were scattered abroad, passed through, telling the good-news of the word;
Tua ahikom mun theampo ah a ki thethang te sia mun tatuam ah pai in Pathian thu tangko tek uh hi.
5 And, Philip, going down unto the city of Samaria, proclaimed unto them the Christ.
Tua zawkciang in Philip sia Samaria khuapi ah pai a, amate tung ah Christ thuhil hi.
6 And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working.
Taciang Philip in nalamdang te a vawtna za uh a, a mu uh hu in a thuhil nate sia mite in thukimtak in phatak in ngai uh hi.
7 For, from many who had impure spirits, shouting with a loud voice, they were going out, and, many that were paralysed and lame, were cured.
Banghangziam cile doai te nangawn in au in, amate i thin-apsak mihing te sung pan pusuak uh hi: taciang pumzaw te le peangbai te zong damsak hi.
8 And there came to be great joy in that city.
Taciang tua khuapi sung ah lungdamna lianpi om hi.
9 But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, —saying that himself was someone great:
Ahihang Simon a kici mi khat om a, ama sia nidang in tua khuapi sung ah bum le ai zang in Samaria mite bum a, ama le ama mi thupi khat in ki son hi.
10 Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying—This, is the Power of God, which is called Great.
Mi theampo, a nobel pan a lianbel dong in a thu phatak in ni uh a, hisia pa sia Pathian vangletna lianpi hi, ci uh hi.
11 And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them.
Hun saupi sung bum le ai taw ngual a bum hu in, ngual in ama sia zakta uh hi.
12 But, when they believed Philip telling the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be immersed, both men and women.
Ahihang Philip in Pathian kumpingam le Jesus Christ min taw kisai thu te a hil ciang in, numei zong pasal zong tui ki phum uh hi.
13 And, Simon himself also, believed; and, having been immersed, was in constant attendance on Philip, —and, beholding signs and great works of power coming to pass, was astonished.
Tua zawkciang in Simon ama tatak zong in um hi: taciang tui a ki phum zawkciang in, Philip taw ki thawl hi, taciang nalamdang le musakna vawtna te lamdangsa mama in en hi.
14 And the Apostles who were in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had welcomed the word of God, sent out unto them Peter and John;
Tu in Jerusalem a om sawltak te in Samaria mite in Pathian thu sang zo uh hi, ci a zak uh ciang in Peter le John sia amate kung ah paisak uh a:
15 Who, indeed, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive Holy Spirit; —
Amate a thet uh ciang in, Tha Thiangtho a nga thei natu in thungetsak hi:
16 For, not yet, had it, upon any one of them, fallen, but, only, to begin with, they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Banghangziam cile Tha Thiangtho sia kuama tung ah theng ngawl lai hi: Topa Jesus min taw tui ki phum bek sang pheang uh hi.
17 Then, proceeded they to lay their hands upon them, and they were receiving Holy Spirit.
Tua zawkciang in Peter le John in amate tung ah a khut te nga uh hi, taciang amate in Tha Thiangtho sang uh uh.
18 But Simon, seeing that, through means of the laying on of the hands of the Apostles, the Spirit was being given, offered unto them money,
Taciang sawltak te in khutngakna tungtawn in Tha Thiangtho piakna sia Simon in a mu ciang in, sawltak te dangka pia a,
19 Saying—Give unto me also this authority, —in order that, on whomsoever may lay my hands, he may receive Holy Spirit.
Akuapo tung ah khut ka nga ahizong Tha Thiangtho a san thei natu in, hi vangletna kei zong hong pia tavun, ci hi.
20 And Peter said unto him—Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free-gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained!
Ahihang Peter in ama tung ah, na dangka sia nangma taw ki lalcip tahen, banghangziam cile nangma in Pathian letsong sia dangka taw lei thei tu in na ngaisun hi.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for, thy heart, is not upright before God.
Hi thu sia nang in bangma kihel thei na le na san tu om ngawl hi: banghangziam cile Pathian mai ah na thinsung pha ngawl hi.
22 Repent, therefore, from this thy baseness, and entreat of the Lord—whether, after all, the purpose of thy heart shall be forgiven thee;
Tua ahikom hi na phatngawlna pan in kisik in a, Pathian kung ah thungen in, tabang hile na thinsung ngaisutna mawna hong maisak tu hi.
23 For see that thou servest as a gall-root of bitterness, and a bond of unrighteousness.
Banghangziam cile nangma sia a kha mama thinkha sung ah na om a, phatngawlna in hong hencip hi, ci ka he hi, ci hi.
24 And Simon, answering, said—Entreat ye, in my behalf, unto the Lord; that, nothing, may come upon me, of the things whereof ye have spoken!
Tua zawkciang in Simon in, na son thu te theampo khat zong ka tung ah hong thet ngawl natu in, Topa tung ah thu hong ngetsak tavun, ci hi.
25 They, therefore, having fully borne witness, and spoken the word of the Lord, began their return unto Jerusalem, and, unto many villages of the Samaritans, were they telling the glad tidings.
Taciang amate in Topa thuhil le tetti a pan zawk uh ciang Jerusalem ah heakkik uh a, Samaria mite khua tampi ah lungdamna thuhil uh hi.
26 And, a messenger of the Lord, spake unto Philip, saying—Arise, and be journeying along southward, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, —the same, is desert.
Taciang Topa vantungmi in Philip tung ah, ding in a, Jerusalem pan Gaza paina lampi thangsang ah paisuk in, tua mun sia senneal ngam a hihi, ci hi.
27 And, arising, he journeyed. And lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, one in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure [who] had come to worship in Jerusalem;
Taciang Pihlip sia ding in pai hi: taciang, en in, Ethiopa mi cil ki nget khat, Ethiopia kumpinu Candace khut nuai ah za lian mama le neisa theampo a keampa sia Jerusalem ah Pathian bia tu in hongpai a,
28 And was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Ama sia a ciakik lam in, siphu leang to in kamsang Isaiah laibu sim hi.
29 And the Spirit said unto Philip—Go near, and join thyself unto this chariot!
Thaa in Philip tung ah, neakphei in a, hi siphu leang tung ah ama taw paikhawm vun, ci hi.
30 And, running near, Philip heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said—Dost thou, then, understand what thou art reading?
Philip sia tua pa kung ah tai a, kamsang Isaiah laibu a sim za hi, taciang na sim sia na tel ziam? ci hi.
31 And, he, said—How indeed should be able—unless someone shall guide me? And he called upon Philip, to come up and sit with him.
Tua pa in, mi khatpo in hong hil bua ahile, bangbang in tel thei tu khi ziam? ci hi. Taciang ama in Philip sia siphu leang tung ah kato in ama taw tokhawm tu in sam hi.
32 Now, the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was, this: —As a sheep, unto slaughter, was he led, and, as a lamb, before him that sheareth it, is dumb, so, he openeth not his mouth.
Laithiangtho a sim na mun sia, Ama sia ngaw tu in a ki paipui tuu bang hi; taciang a mulmet pa mai ah a ham ngawl tuuno bang in, Ama sia a kam zong ka ngawl hi:
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away, —his generation, who shall describe? because, his life, is taken away from the earth.
Ki zawnsak na sung ah a man ngawl in thukhenna thuak hi: taciang akua in ama suan te tung ah tangko tu ziam? banghangziam cile ama nuntakna sia hi leitung pan in la uh hi, a ci na mun a hihi.
34 And the eunuch, making answer unto Philip, said—I pray thee! Of whom, is the prophet saying this? of himself, or, of some different person?
Taciang tua cil ki nget pa in Philip zo kik a, kong thum hi, hong son tan, kamsang in akua thu son ziam? ama thu ziam, a hibale midang thu son ziam? ci hi.
35 And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus.
Tua zawkciang in Philip in a kam hong a, tua laithiangtho pan kipan in, Jesus thu sia ama tung ah hil hi.
36 And, as they were journeying along the way, they came unto a certain water, —and the eunuch saith—Lo! water! What doth hinder my being immersed?
Tabang in amate lampi dung ah a pai uh laitak in, tui omna mun ah theng uh a: tua cil ki nget pa in, en in, hi mun ah tui om hi; tui ki phum tu bang in hong khak ziam? ci hi.
Taciang Philip in, na thinsung theampo taw na um nale, ki phum thei ni hi, ci hi. Taciang ama in, Jesus Christ sia Pathian Tapa hi, ci ka um hi, ci in zo hi.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down, both, into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, —and he immersed him.
Taciang ama in siphu leang tawlnga tu in thupia a: a ni in tuisung ah tuaksuk uh hi, taciang Philip in ama tuiphumna pia hi.
39 But, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he was going on his way rejoicing.
Taciang amate tui sung pan a pusua uh ciang in, Topa Thaa in Philip lato a, tua pa in mu kik nawn ngawl hi: taciang lungdamtak in a lampi dung ah paisuak hi.
40 Now Philip was found at Azotus; and, passing through, he was telling the glad tidings unto all the cities, until he came unto Caesarea.
Ahihang Philip sia Azotus khua ah, mite in mu uh a: Caesarea a thet dong khuapi theampo ah Pathian thuhil hi.
