Acts 4
1 [Meanwhile, in the temple courtyard, there were some] priests, the officer who was in charge of the temple police, and [also some] [SYN] Sadducee [sect members]. These men came to Peter and John while the two of them were speaking to the people.
Peter le John in mipi ho henga thu asei jing lai lhonin, Thempu ho le Houin vengbit a pang vaipo, chuleh Sadducee ho themkhat chun lungphamo tah-in ahung kimaito piuvin,
2 These men were very angry, because the [two] apostles were teaching the people [about Jesus]. What they were telling the people was that because ([God caused Jesus to become alive again/God raised] Jesus [from the dead]), [God] would cause other people who had died to become alive again.
Peter le John in Yeshua vanga thokitna aume tithu ahil lhon jeh chun hiche lamkai ho chu alung phamo lheh jengun ahi.
3 So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. [They had to wait] until the next day [to question Peter and John], because it was already evening [and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night].
Chuin amani chu amanun, nilhah lam ahiphat in ajing khovah kah chun songkul'a akhum tauvin ahi.
4 However, many people who had heard the message [from Peter] believed [in Jesus]. (OR, But many people had [already] believed [in Jesus, because] they had heard the message [from Peter].) So the number of men [who believed in Jesus] increased to about five 5,000.
Ahin athuhil lhon jaho lah a mi tamtah chun athuhil lhon chu atahsan tauvin ahileh numei chapang simlouvin tahsan mi sang-nga aval tauvin ahi.
5 The next day [the supreme priest summoned] the [other] chief priests, the teachers of the [Jewish] laws, and the other members [of the Jewish Council, and they] gathered together [in one place] in Jerusalem.
Chuin ajing nikho chun, avaipoteu le a-upateu chule danthu sunho chu Jerusalema akikhomun ahi.
6 Annas, [the former] supreme priest, Caiaphas [who was the new supreme priest], [two other former supreme priests whose names were] John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest [were there].
Ama ho lah-a chun Annas thempu chungnung jaonan Caiaphas, John, Alexander, chuleh thempu chungnung insung mite dang jong aumun ahi.
7 They [commanded guards to] bring Peter and John into the courtroom [MTY] and have them stand in front of them. [Then one of] the leaders questioned [the two of] them, saying, “Who [do you two claim] gave you the power [to heal this man]? And who authorized [MTY] you to do this [DOU]?”
Chuin amaho angsunga chun solchah teni chu ahin puilut-un thudoh aneiyun, “Ipi thaneina, ahilouleh koi mina hitobang thilhi nabol lhonham?” tin adongun ahi.
8 So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You [fellow Israelites] who rule us and [all of you other] elders, [listen]!
Chuin Lhagao Theng dimset pumin Peter chun adonbut-un, “Vaipo hole Upate ho,
9 Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
Elbaipa chunga thilpha kaboljeh lhona thudoh neibol'u ham? Elbaipa hi iti dam ham nahet chet nomu ham?
10 So [we(exc) want] you and all [of our other] fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah [MTY] from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. [God considers that] it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
Nangho le Israel chate jouse dingin kichehtah in naseipeh uving kate, Nanghon thingpel chunga nakhetbeh uva ahivanga Pathen in thina a kona akaithoukit, thaneitah Nazareth Yeshua Christa mina dama ahi.
11 [In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: ] He is [like] [MET] the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building [that they were building]. [Jesus is that stone, and] you [are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one].
Ajeh chu Yeshua thudola Pathen lekhabun hiti hin aseiyin ahi, nangho insahon nadeimova napaiyu song aninga apipena panga chu ama hi ahi.
12 So he alone can save us [MTY]. [God] has sent only one person [MTY] into the world who can save us [from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus]!”
Chule koima danga huhhingna aumpoi, vannoiya huhhing'a ium nadiu mindanga mindang Pathen in eipe pouve,” ati
13 The [Jewish leaders] realized that Peter and John (were not afraid [of them]/spoke boldly). They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.
Chuin vaipo ho chun Peter le John hansanna chu amuvin adatmo lheh jengun ahi. Ajeh chu lekha themlou le jilna neimi ahi lhon lou chu aheuvin chule Yeshua to anaumkhom ahi lhon jong aheuvin ahi.
14 They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with [the two of] them, so they were not able to say anything [to oppose Peter and John].
Ahin akiboldam mipa alailungtah-uva adin amujeh'u chun, vaipo ho chun seibe ding ahetapouvin ahi.
15 So the [Jewish leaders] commanded [guards] to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room [where those leaders were meeting. After they did so], the leaders talked with each other [about Peter and John].
Chuin kikhop khomna in'a kona potdoh dingin Peter le John chu thu apeuvin, chuin amaho le amaho chu akihouvun,
16 [Being frustrated, one after another], they said, “(There is really nothing that we can do to [punish] these [two] men!/How can we [(inc)] do anything to [punish] these [two] men?) [RHQ] Almost everyone [HYP] who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!
“Hiche miteni hi i-ilo dingu ham? Thil bolmo kidang abol lhon la inelthei pouvin, chule Jerusalema mijousen jong ahen,
17 However, [we] must not allow other people to hear about [this miracle]. So we must tell these men that [we will punish them if they] continue to tell other people about this [MTY] man [who they say gave them the power to do it].”
Ahin Yeshua mina thu ahiljomkit lhon louna dingin gihsalna neiyu hite,” akitiuvin ahi.
18 So the Jewish leaders [commanded guards] to bring the two apostles [into that room again. After they did so], they [commanded] them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach [anyone about him] [MTY] [again].
Chuin Solchah teni akoulut kitun, Yeshua mina thu ahilkit lhon louna dingin thu apeuvin ahi.
19 But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right [for us two] to obey you and not [to obey] him? [We(exc) will let] you decide [which of those you think is proper].
Ahin Peter le John in adonbut lhonin, “Pathen thu ngailouva nangho thujoh kangai diu chu Pathen in deijonte tia nagel uham?
20 [But as for us, we cannot obey you]. We will not stop telling people about the things that we [(exc)] have seen [Jesus do] and what we have heard [him teach].”
Kamu jouseu le kajah jouseu sapphong ding hi kangah thei lhon louding ahi,” ati lhonin ahi.
21 Then the [Jewish leaders] again told [Peter and John] not to disobey them. But all the people [there] were praising God about what had happened [to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John] to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than 40 years old [and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles]. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, [they finally] let them go.
Chuin amahon agihsal kit'un achainan alhadoh tauvin ahi, ajeh chu mipi tamtah jeh-a chu asuhgim thei lou u ahi. Mijousen Pathen avahchoiyun ahi.
Ajeh chu kum somli elbaipa kiboldamna chu bolmo thil kidangtah ahi.
23 After Peter and John had been released, they went to the other believers and reported all that the chief priests and [other Jewish] elders had said to them.
Chuin alhadoh jou jouvun, Peter le John chu tahsan chate koma ahung kile lhonin thempu hole upate hon asei jouseu chu asei lhon tan ahileh.
24 When they heard that, they [all] agreed as they prayed to God, and [one of] them prayed, “O Lord! You [(sg)] made the sky, the earth and the oceans, and everything in them.
akomuva Peter le John thusei ajah jah'u chun tahsan chate jouse chun o khat tah in Pathen koma hiti hin atao tauvin ahi. “Vo thaneipen Pakai, Van le leiset, twikhanglen le asunga thil umjouse hinsempa,
25 The Holy Spirit caused our ancestor, [King] David [MTY], who served you, to write these words: [It is ridiculous] [RHQ] that the non-Jews became angry and the Israelite people planned uselessly [to oppose God].
Nangin Lhagao Thenga kapuluiyu nalhacha David kam'a ‘Namtin vaipi ibola lunghanga hiuvem? Chule ibola mihon mohthil angaitou ham?
26 The kings of the world prepared to fight [God’s Ruler], and the [other] rulers assembled together [with them] to oppose the Lord [God] and the one whom he had appointed [to be the Messiah].
Leiset chunga a lengteu galsat din akigong chaiyun, a Pakai le a Christa dou dingin avaipoteu akikhomui’ tia nasei sah ahin,
27 [Lord, we know that what you(sg) said long ago was true], because [King] Herod and the [governor], Pontius Pilate, and many other people, both non-Jews and Israelites, assembled together [here] in this city. [They] planned [to kill] Jesus, who devotedly served you [and] whom you appointed [MTY] [to be the Messiah].
Atah beh in hiche khopi sunga hin alhungtai! Ajeh chu Herod Antipas, gamvaipo Pontius Pilate, chidang namdangte le Israel chate jouse chu nangma thaonusa nalhacha theng Yeshua dou dingin akitho khom sohkei tauvin ahi.
28 [Because] you [(sg)] are all-powerful, those people did [only] what you [SYN] allowed [them to do]. It was what you decided long ago would happen.”
Ahinlah abol jouseu hi nangma lungchamtah aboldinga umsa ahi.
29 “So now, Lord, listen to what they are saying about punishing us! Help us who serve you [(sg)] to very boldly speak messages from you [(sg) about Jesus]
Chuleh tun O Pakai, amigihsal nauhi ngaiyin lang nalhachate hin nathu kasapphong nadiuvin hansanna lentah chu neipeuvin.
30 [Also], by your power [MTY] miraculously heal [sick people] and do other amazing miracles [SYN] that show people your power! Ask Jesus, who always serves you, [to give us the authority] [MTY] [to do such miracles]!”
Namidamsah theina thahat toh thon nakhut hinlhang inlang, nalhacha theng Yeshua minin melchihna le bolmo kidang dang bolu hen” atiuve.
31 When the believers had finished praying, the place where they were meeting shook. All of them were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of them}, with the result that they began to speak boldly the words that God [told them to speak].
Hitia atao jouvun, akikhopnau inchu ahung kilingin, abonchauvin Lhagao Theng adimset un, hangsan tah-in Pathen thu alhangsamun ahi.
32 The group of people who had believed [in Jesus] were completely agreed about what they thought and what they wanted/desired. Not one of them claimed that he [alone] owned anything. Instead, they shared with one another everything that they had.
Chuin Tahsan chate jouse chu lungkhat le thakhat ahiuvin, koiman jong anei chu keiya tum ahi tilouvin, anei jouseu abonchan aneikhomun ahi.
33 The apostles continued to tell others, very powerfully, [that God] had (caused the Lord Jesus to become alive again/raised the Lord Jesus from the dead). [People knew that God] was graciously helping all the believers.
Solchah ho chun thaneitah in Pakai Yeshua thokit thudol chu ahettohsah jiuvin, chule Pathen phatthei bohna lentah chu amaho chunga aumtan ahi.
34 [Some of] the believers who owned land or houses would occasionally sell [some of] their property. Then they would bring [the money for what they sold]
Amaho lah-a chun alhasam angaicha anaumpouvin ahi ajeh chu gam leiset le in neihon ahinjoh-un,
35 and they would present it to the apostles [MTY]. Then [the apostles] would give money to any [believer] who needed [it]. So no one among the believers was lacking anything.
asum chu solchahho kengbul'a ahinchoiyun alhasam angaicha ho chu anahop peh jiuvin ahi.
36 [For example, there was] Joseph. [He was] a descendant of Levi [and he was born] on Cyprus [Island]. The apostles called him Barnabas; [in the Jewish language] that name means a person who [IDM] always encourages [others].
Chuin Joseph, solchah hon Barnabas asah-u (hichu lungmonna chapa tina ahi) chu Levi phungmi Cyprus twikol gam mi ahi.
37 He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
Amapa chun lou munkhat anei chu ahinjoh in asum chu solchahte kengbul'a ahin choiyin ahi.
