Acts 1
1 THE former book have I written, O Theophilus concerning all the things which our Lord Jesus Messiah began to do and teach,
Theophilus, ka lungpataw e, Jisuh ni a thaw tawknae hoi a cangkhai e naw pueng a kamtawngnae koehoi a rawi e gunceinaw Kathoung Muitha lahoi kâpoelawknaw a poe hnukkhu,
2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had instructed those legates whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit.
Lathueng lah tawm lah ao hnin totouh e akong pueng hah ka thut.
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after he had suffered, by numerous signs, during forty days, while he was seen by them, and spoke of the kingdom of God.
A due hnukkhu hoi ama teh kahring e lah ka o tie hah hote gunceinaw koe avai moikapap a kamnue pouh teh, hnin 40 touh thung ahnimouh koe a kamnue pouh. Cathut uknaeram kong hah a pâpho.
4 And when he had eaten bread with them, he instructed them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which (said he) ye have heard from me.
Hathnukkhu hoi cungtalah a kamkhueng awh navah Jisuh ni, Jerusalem kho dawk hoi tâcawt laipalah apa koe e lawkkam ring awh.
5 For John baptized with water; but ye will be baptized with the Holy Spirit after not many days.
Lawkkam poe e teh, Jawhan ni tui dawk Baptisma na poe awh, hatei nâsittouh o hoehnahlan Kathoung Muitha dawk Baptisma na hmu awh han telah atipouh.
6 And they, when assembled, asked him and said to him: Our Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
Jisuh hoi cungtalah kamkhueng awhnae koe vah gunceinaw ni, Bawipa a tu maw Isarel miphunnaw hah, uknaeram bout na poe han toung telah a pacei awh.
7 He said to them: It is not yours, to know the time or times which God hath placed in his own power.
Jisuh ni Pa e kâtawnnae hninthanaw hoi a tuengnaw hah nangmouh ni panue han ngai hoeh.
8 But when the Holy Spirit shall come upon you, ye will receive energy, and will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and also among the Samaritans, and unto the ends of the earth.
Hateiteh, nangmae lathueng vah Kathoung Muitha a tho toteh nangmouh teh bahu hoi na kawi awh vaiteh Jerusalem hoi na kamtawng awh vaiteh Judah ram, Samaria ram, talai a pout ditouh kai kapanuekkhaikung lah na o a han atipouh.
9 And when he had said these things, while they beheld him, he was taken up, and a cloud received him, and he was hidden from their eyes.
Hote lawk a dei hnukkhu hoi ahnimae a mithmu vah Bawipa teh kahlun tawm lah a o, tâmai ni a kayo teh ahnimouh ni hmawt awh hoeh toe.
10 And while they were looking toward heav, as he departed, two men were found standing near them, in white garments,
Hottelah, gunceinaw ni Bawipa kalvan a luen e a khet awh lahun nah ahnimae a teng hnipangaw kâkhu e tami kahni touh a kangdue.
11 and saying to them: Ye Galilean men, why stand ye and look toward heaven? This Jesus, who is taken up from you to heaven, will so come, as ye have seen him ascend to heaven.
Ahnimouh roi ni, Galilee taminaw kalvan lah na khet awh teh bangkongmaw sut na kangdue awh vaw. Nangmouh koehoi kalvan lah tawm e Jisuh hah kalvan lah a luen e na hmu awh e patetlah let bout a kum e na hmu awh han, atipouh.
12 And afterwards they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called the place of Olives, which was near to Jerusalem, and distant from it about seven furlongs.
Hathnukkhu hoi ahnimouh teh Olive Mon hoi Jerusalem lah a ban awh. Hote mon teh Jerusalem hoi sabbath hnin hnin touh lamcei ahla.
13 And when they had entered, they went to an upper chamber; where were Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, and Philip, and Thomas, and Matthew, and Bartholomew, and James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the son of James.
Ahnimouh teh khothung a kâen awh teh a luennae imvan a luen awh. Ahnimanaw teh; Piter, Jawhan, Jem, Andru, Filip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Mathai, Alfe capa Jem, miphun kampangkhai Simon hoi Jem capa Judah tinaw doeh.
14 All these unitedly persevered in prayer, with one soul, together with the women, and with Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Ahnimouh ni, Jisuh e a manu Meri, napuinaw hoi a nawnghanaw hoi cungtalah lungkânging lahoi thouk a ratoum awh.
15 And in those days stood up Simon Cephas in the midst of the disciples, (the persons there assembled being about one hundred and twenty, ) and said:
Hatnavah tami 120 touh e hmaunawnghanaw teh cungtalah a kamkhueng awh navah, Piter ni a kangdue teh,
16 Men, brethren, it was right that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus.
Hmaunawnghanaw Jisuh man hanelah lam kapâtuekung Judah Isakarot e kong hoi Kathoung Muitha ni Devit koe sut a dei e lawk Cakathoung dawk a thut e patetlah kuep laipalah awm mahoeh.
17 For he was numbered with us, and had a part in this ministry.
Judah teh maimouh hoi cungtalah rawi e lah ao teh hete thaw dawk na kambawngkhai van.
18 He purchased a field with the wages of sin; and he fell upon his face on the ground, and burst in the middle, and all his entrails were poured out.
Ahni teh kathounghoehe kutphu hoi lawhmuen buet touh a ran ei hawvah bungling lah a boteh a von a tangpo dawk a ruennaw hai koung a tâco.
19 And this was known to all that dwelt at Jerusalem; so that the field was called, in the language of the country, Aceldama, which is interpreted Field of Blood.
Hete hah Jerusalem kaawm e naw pueng ni a panue awh teh hote talai hah Akeldama telah a phung awh. A deingainae teh thi talai tinae doeh.
20 For it is written, in the book of Psalms: Let his habitation be desolate, and let no resident be in it; and let another take his service.
Sam cauk dawkvah aonae hmuen teh tami kingdi lah awm naseh, im thung pihai awm hanh naseh. Ahnie thaw a ya ni lawm naseh telah a kâthut.
21 It should therefore be, that one of these persons, who have been with us all the time that our Lord Jesus went in and out with us,
Jawhan ni Baptisma a poenae koehoi, kamtawng teh,
22 commencing from the baptism of John, unto the day he was taken up from us, should be, with us, a witness of his resurrection.
Bawipa Jisuh maimouh hoi kamphei teh kahlun lah tawm e hnin totouh a hnukkâbangnaw hoi rei ceionae pueng dawk, maimouh koe kambawng e tami buet buet touh ni Bawipa thawnae kong a pâpho teh kaimouh hoi cungtalah kapanuekkhaikung lah ao han telah Piter ni a pâpho.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Justus, and Matthias.
Hatnavah Barsabbas telah a kaw awh teh Justus telah a awitawm awh e Joseph hoi Matthias a rawi awh.
24 And when they had prayed, they said: Thou, Lord, knowest what is in the hearts of all, manifest which thou hast chosen of these two,
Hahoi a ratoum awh teh, Bawipa nang ni tami lungthin koung na panue.
25 that he should take part in this ministry and legateship, from which Judas broke away, that he might go to his own place.
Taminaw pueng e lungthin ka panuek e Cathut, Judah teh ama onae hmuen koe cei hanelah kacangkhaikung thaw, guncei thaw dawk hoi a kâtakhoe teh ahnie yueng lah bout ka tawk hane tami kahni touh thung dawkvah na rawi tangcoung e tami na patue haw telah a ratoum awh.
26 And they cast lots, and it came upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven legates.
Hahoi ahnimouh roi hanlah cungpam a rayu sak awh teh Matthias ni a hmu dawkvah ahni teh guncei hlaibun touh hoi mek touksin lah ao toe.
