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.
Stephen tek haat thukte ah Sool angta. Erah sa adi Jerusalem hah ni kristaan loong ah rapne ih siiwi rumta. Samaria nyia Judia hah noongrep ni Kristaan loong ah tiisoon rumta, Heliphante loong ah ba soon muh.
2 Howbeit reverent men assisted at the burial of Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.
Rangte jatte mina loong ah ih Stephen mang ah rongrongwah ih hu ari damdi bengkaat rumta.
3 But, Saul, went on to lay waste the assembly, along the houses, going in, and, dragging off both men and women, was
Sool ih chaas jeeje ah thet haat taat chungta; nokrookwet ni tumkhoom ano, minuh miwah Jisu suh hanpiite loong ah thoontang dok hoom kaat ano phaatak ni sakkaat rumta.
4 They, indeed, therefore, who were scattered abroad, passed through, telling the good-news of the word;
Noongrep ni tiisoonta hanpiite loong ah ih Rangte tiit ah tumbaat rumta.
5 And, Philip, going down unto the city of Samaria, proclaimed unto them the Christ.
Samaria hah ko samnuthung longthoon ni tongte miloong asuh Philip ih Kristo tiit ah baat kaatta.
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.
Philip ih baat rumta tiitkhaap ah mih lomkhoonta loong ah ih rapniine ih thaangchaat rumta, heh jeng boichaat rum adi Philip ih paatjaajih loong ah reeraang nyia noisok rumta.
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.
Chiithih laakhah ah mina loong sak nawa riihu leh doksoon eta, erah damdi huimu nyia ekoong loong ah de ih rumta.
8 And there came to be great joy in that city.
Erah thoidi erah hadaang adi rapne tenroon woksoon ih tong rumta.
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:
Erah samnuh hah adi Simoon ngeh ih mih wasiit angta, heh ih Samaria dowa mina loong asuh pootsiit maantaan kanoisok rumta. Heh ih liita ngah mina elong esiit,
10 Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying—This, is the Power of God, which is called Great.
eno erah samnuthung dowa, kurep wangrep ih, heh jeng ah naaririh ih boichaat rumta. Miloong ah ih liita, heh jiinni juuba “Rangte chaan aphaan “Eloongthoon Chaan aphaan” ah jeela.
11 And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them.
Miloong asuh maantaan ah rekamdook ih noisok rum kano heh jeng boichaatte totoh ang rumta.
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.
Enoothong Philip ih Rangmong Hasong nyia Jisu Kristo ruurang ese tiit ah baat rum kano, hanpi ih rumta, eno minuh miwah loong ah juutem rumta.
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.
Simon ih nep hanpiita; eno heh uh juutemta, erah lih adi Philip damdam tong ano paatjaajih ah noisok kano Simon ah rapne ih paatjaata.
14 And the Apostles who were in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had welcomed the word of God, sent out unto them Peter and John;
Kamwah loong ah Jerusalem ni angrum adi Samaria nok hah ih Rangte jengkhaap kap eha ngeh ih japchaat rum ano, neng reeni Pitar nyia Joon kaat thuk rumta.
15 Who, indeed, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive Holy Spirit; —
Erah ni thoknyu ano, Kristaan loong sak nah Esa Chiiala toom pah ah ngeh ih rang ah soomkoh ih nyuuta.
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.
Esa Chiiala ah o sak ni uh maangpat angra taha; Teesu mendi juutem luulu phang kap rumta.
17 Then, proceeded they to lay their hands upon them, and they were receiving Holy Spirit.
Pitar nyia Joon ih neng khoh ni nengnyi lak ih tajoh nyu ano rangsoom kot kano ba Esa Chiiala ah pah ra taha.
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,
Kamwah loong ah ih Kristaan loong khoni joh ano rangsoom kot kano Chiiala pah arah Simon ih japtupta. Erah thoidi Simon ih Pitar nyia Joon suh ngun ah konyu ano
19 Saying—Give unto me also this authority, —in order that, on whomsoever may lay my hands, he may receive Holy Spirit.
baat nyuuta, “Arah chaan ah ngasuh nep koh weehe tih, mikhoh nah taajoh angdoh Esa Chiiala toom pah raaha suh ah.”
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!
Eno Pitar ih ngaak liita, “Rangte lakkot ah ngun ih reh ang ngeh ih thun hu bah, an ngun ah hui uno soolam nah toom wang uh!
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for, thy heart, is not upright before God.
Rangte mootkaat nah seng damdoh an tami room ru, timnge liidoh Rangte miksok di an tenthun ah kaateng tah angko.
22 Repent, therefore, from this thy baseness, and entreat of the Lord—whether, after all, the purpose of thy heart shall be forgiven thee;
Erah raangtaan, an ih sekthun ih uh, an tenthun mongtham ethih thunhu, eno erah likhiik ethih thunhu ah biin anaan toom eh ho asuh Teesu rangsoom uh.
23 For see that thou servest as a gall-root of bitterness, and a bond of unrighteousness.
An thidokdok mih siikhaamte nyia rangdah khui ni ang uh rah tup hala.”
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!
Simon ih Pitar nyia Joon suh li nyuuta, set ih Teesu suh rangsoom koh weehe tih, erah li hansih ah likhiik nga taangnah nak toom thok weethuk ha.”
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.
Nengnyi khiikkhi nyia Teesu jengkhaap ah baat nyu ano, Jerusalem ni ngaakwang nyuuta. Samaria ni hadaang hantek ni Ruurang Ese tiit ah lam jangtang ih baatwan nyuuta.
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.
Teesu rangsah ih Philip suh liita, “Jerusalem dowa ih Gaja ko kala lam adoh juumeh ko ih kaat suh khookhaam uh” (Arah lam adi mih amadi tah khoomka.)
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;
Erah baat kano, Philip ah khookhaam ano dokkhom kata. Eno Ethopia wangcha nuh ngun thiinte, daamhun wasiit, heh nok ni ngaakwangte chomuita. Erah warah Jerusalem ni Rangte rangsoom kah ano mokkaari ni nok ni ngaak wangte angta. Heh lamni soon adi, Isaia khowah ih raang arah leedap weta.
28 And was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 And the Spirit said unto Philip—Go near, and join thyself unto this chariot!
Esa Chiiala ih Philip suh baatta, “Mokkaari ko kah uno heh re tiittiit ih chap kah uh.”
30 And, running near, Philip heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said—Dost thou, then, understand what thou art reading?
Philip soon kata adi khowah Isaia leedap banweh arah japchaat kata. Eno Philip ih chengta, “An ih wehu adi tiimjih liiha jat nih hu?”
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.
Saahaap ah ih ngaakbaatta, “O ih uh lahuk sekbaat rangbah mamah ma jat ang?” Eno Philip ah mokkaari adi heh damdi roongtong suh duupoonta.
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.
Rangteele erah weta adi amah raangta: Saap ah dook esuh siitkaat ah likhiik, saapsah heh roon sui adi lahu lari thang kah ang ah likhiik, heh khaapsiit taan uh jengmuh.
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away, —his generation, who shall describe? because, his life, is taken away from the earth.
Heh kaanju ih rumta, tiim lathika di thetbaat rumta. Heh sutoom satoom loong tiit ah o ih uh tajen baatka, timnge liidi arah hah adi heh roidong ah thoon ih kata.”
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?
Saahaap ah ih Philip suh chengta, “Baat thaak hang, khowah ih liiha ah o suh liiha? Heh teewah tiit tam wahoh tiit baat ha?”
35 And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus.
Eno Philip ih phangbaatta; Rangteele erah dowa phangbaat ano, Jisu Ruurang Ese tiit ah baatta.
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?
Philip nyia saahaap ah lamdat ko ih daatsoon kanyu adi, joisah esiit japtup nyuuta, eno saahaap ah ih liita, “Arah di ju cheesah je ah. Ngah laang ah juutem suh tanih nook kang?”
Philip ih liita, “An ten nawa ih jen hanpi ubah juutem ah ejen tem ih uh.” “Hanpi ih hang,” heh ih ngaak baatta; “Nga ih Jisu Kristo ah Rangte Sah ngeh ih hanpi ehang.”
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.
Saahaap ah ih mokkaari ah tangchap thukta, eno nengnyi Philip ju ko ih daatkhoom kanyu ano, Philip ih heh ju ah temta.
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.
Ju nawa dokkhoom nyuuha di, Teesu Chiiala ih Philip ah soonsiitta. Saahaap ah ih Philip ah takah chotupta, eno tenroon woksoon heh lamko ih wangta.
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.
Philip heh teewah Ajotaas ni ang arah japtupta; eno Ruurang Ese tiit ah hadaang rep ni lam jangtang ih Kaisiria maang thokthok ih baat wanta.
