Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Saasiit Pitar nyia Joon rangsoom saapoot chang kano rangnithung lih saasong saapootjom di rangsoomnok ni wang nyuuta.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Paakaalu jaase, ih men rumta adi, heh roi roitang ih ekoong ang arah wasiit katongta. Saarookwet, erah paakaalu adi ekoong ah piikaat leh Rangteenok nah wangte loong jiin nawa ngun thaang suh katongthiin kaat rumta.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Erah mih ah ih Joon nyia Pitar khoom ah japtup ano tiim ah tiim koh weehe tih ngeh ih suh nyuuta.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Nengnyi ih ekoong ah taangko soknyu ano, Pitar ih liita, “Sek taangko sok thaak ho!”
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Eno, ekoong ah ih tiim bah uh kot ih nyu hang ngeh ih laalom ano leksokta.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Enoothong Pitar ih liita, “Nga jiinni ngun bah tajeeka, enoothong nga jiinni tiim jeela erah koha: Najaret dowa Jisu Kristo mendoh toonchap uh!”
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Eno Pitar ih jaawah ko lak ih joh ano toonchap thukta. Erah damdam heh lah ah rongtangtang ih nak ano;
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
toonpitta, heh lalah ni toonchap ano lengkhoomta. Erah lih adi toonpit ano, Rangte rang ah phoong ano Pitar nyia Joon damdi Rangteenok ni roongwangta.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Miloong ah ih ekoong angta ah ih Rangte rangphoong rangsoom ih lengkhoom arah japtup rumta,
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
eno neng ih arah mih abah Paakaalu Ese ni tongte kunma ah ngeh ih jatjoh rum ano, neng uh rapne ih paatja rumta.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Kunma ah Pitar nyia Joon ih Solomon nok ngeh ih men rumta di, siit nyu arah tuprum ano miloong ah neng reeni soonwang rum taha.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Miloong ah tup ano, Pitar ih li rumta, “Ijirel ni, songtongte joon awaan loong, arah suh tiimnge paatja lan, tiim esuh sok hali? Arah mih ah Rangte likhiik hoon eno seng chaan nawa ih khoom thukli nih mokthun han?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Sengte sengwah Abraham, Isak, nyia Jaakob Rangte ih heh Laksuh Jisu suh rangka thuk suh chaan koha. Enoothong sen loong ah ih ngoong awang loong suh jokoh anno Pilat ngathong ni dut haattan, lang abah Pilat ih edaap etheng taat liita.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Heh toongtang nyia ese angta, enoothong sen loong ih dut haat ih tan, eno Pilat suh mih tek haatte li thuk tan.
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
Roidong lamsiitte ah sen ih tek haat tan, enoothong Rangte ih sen miksok di tek nawa ngaaksaat ih thukta—eno erah haaki kotte ah seng loong ah.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Jisu mendi chaan aphaan je tungkangdi ekoong ah jen khoom thukta. Sen ih tiim tup han nyia jat han ah langla heh mendi tuumaang thoidi deesiitta ah tup han: Jisu hanpi thoidi deela ah sen ih amadoh jensok ih an.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
“Amadi ngah ih jat ehang, ngaaphoh ngaano loong, sen mihak phokhoh loong ih Jisu ah lajat thoidi siiwi tan.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Teewadi Rangte ih khowah suh banbaat thukta Kristo ah cham ih ah ngeh ah, erah likhiik amiimi ih angla.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Erah raangtaan ih, sekthun ih an, eno Rangte reenah thok han, sen rangdah ah biin anaan ehan. Emah re anbah,
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
Teesu jiin nawa Esa chaan aphaan kaat suh saapoot thok eha, eno Jisu kaat thuk ha, Kristo ah sen raangtaan ih jen danje eta.
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Jirep ah ena ih maanghoon hoon, heh rangmong nah tong ah, erah tiit teewah di Rangte ih toongtang khowah loong suh banbaat ih thukta. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Erah thoidi Moses ih liita, ‘Ngah kaat thuk halang likhiik, sen Teesu Rangte ih khowah kaat thuk ha, eno erah mih ah sen mina dung nawa ang ah. Eno heh ih sen suh tiim baat han erah sen ih kap etheng ang ah.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Erah khowah jeng lah boichaatte ah Rangte mina re nawa maama ih hiik hoom ano thet haat ah.’
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Amadi mamah angla, erah loong ah, Samuel nyia heh lih ni kaatte khowah loong ih banbaat choi.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Sen raangtaan suh Rangte ih khowah loong damdi kakhamta, eno sente senwah damdi nuumi jengdang hoonta jun ih pan halan. Rangte ih Abraham suh liita, ‘Arah hah dowa mina loong ah an sutom satoom jun ih pan ang adoleh minchan ang.’
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Erah raangtaan ih Rangte ih Heh Laksuh ah danje ano seng reeni phangkaat thuk taha, seng loong lamthih nawa pui thuk suh ah.”
