Acts 1
1 The former treatise, O Theophilus, I made concerning all that Jesus undertook both to do and to teach;
Theophilus awng, amasa laibu ka atna sung ah, Jesus i sep le a hilna theampo a kipat pan in,
2 till the day in which He was taken up, after He had by the holy Spirit given instructions to the apostles whom He had chosen:
Ama a ki lakto ni dong, tuazawk Tha Thiangtho tungtawn in a tealsa sawltak te tung ah thupia hi:
3 to whom also He presented Himself alive, after He had suffered, by many certain proofs; being seen among them for forty days, and speaking of the things relating to the kingdom of God.
A thuak zawkciang in sawltak te in ni sawm li sung Ama mu uh a, Pathian kumpingam taw kisai thu te son hi, Ama nungta tatak hi, ci tetti kho tampi taw lak hi:
4 And meeting them together He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said He, ye have heard from me;
Munkhat ah amate taw a ki kaikhop laitak in, Jerusalem pan koima pai ngawl tu in, Keima tung pan na zaksa uh bangma in, Pa i kamciam na ngak vun.
5 for John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall within a few days be baptized with the holy Spirit.
Banghangziam cile John in tui taw tuiphumna hong pia takpi hi; ahihang ni tampi ma in Tha Thiangtho i tuiphumna na sang tu uh ci, ci in amate thupia hi.
6 Being therefore come together they asked Him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
Tua ahikom amate munkhat a a ki kaikhop tek uh ciang in, sawltak te in Jesus kung ah, Topa awng, tu in Israel te tung ah kumpingam na piakik tu ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
7 And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father hath reserved in his own power.
Jesus in amate tung ah, Pa in Ama vangletna sung ah a koisa hun le ni te sia, note i heak tu kisam ngawl hi.
8 But ye shall receive power from the holy Spirit coming upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
Ahihang note tung ah Tha Thiangtho hong thet zawkciang in, vangletna na nga tu uh hi: taciang in Jerusalem le Judah ngamsung theampo, taciang Samaria ngamsung le lei mong a tawp dong in, keima tetti te na hi tu uh hi, ci hi.
9 And having said these things, as they were looking upon Him, He was lifted up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
Taciang hi thu te a son zawkciang, amate in a et uh laitak in, Jesus sia a tungsang ah ki lato a; amate mutang in mei in lia hi.
10 And while they were looking stedfastly toward heaven, as He went up, behold two men in white stood by them;
Tabang in vantung ah a kato sia mate in a et tek uh laitak in, en vun, amate hui ah puanpak sil in mi ni hong ding hi;
11 who said, Ye men of Galilee, why do ye stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in the manner ye have seen Him going into heaven.
Tua te in, no Galilee mite, banghang in vantung en in ding top lai nu ziam? note kung pan in van ah a ki lato na mu uh bangma in, hongpai kik tu hi, ci uh hi.
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath-day's journey.
Tua zawkciang in amate Olive mual pan in Jerusalem ah heakkik uh hi, Olive mual sia Jerusalem pan in sabbath ni pai thei na tan khawng khuala hi.
13 And when they were come in to the city, they went up into an upper room, where Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude the brother of James, usually abode.
Jerusalem a thet uh ciang in, inn tung doituam ah kato tek uh a, tua mun ah, Peter, James le John, taciang Andrew, Philip le Thomas, Bartholomew le Matthew, Alphaeus tapa James, Simon Zealot, James naupa Judas te om uh hi.
14 These all persevered with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brethren.
Hiteng a vekpi lungkim in nupi te, Jesus nu Mary le a suapui te taw tatsat ngawl in thungen khawm tek uh hi.
15 And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, (now the number of the persons that were together was about an hundred and twenty, )
Taciang in Peter sia a nungzui te, mihing za le kul kiim i laizang ah ding a,
16 and said, Men and brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the holy Ghost spake by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus:
U le nau te awng, Tha Thiangtho in David i kam zangin a sonkholsa, Jesus man tute a makai Judas thu taw kisai in hi laithiangtho sia a tangtun hamtang kul hi.
17 for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry.
Banghangziam cile ama sia eite taw a kisim khawm hi a, hi Pathian nasepna sung ah panmun nga hi.
18 (Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling down on his face, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:
Hisia pa in phatngawlna a vawt man taw lo ciing khat lei hi; taciang a lusuk nuailam in tak in, a pumpi kisantham a, a ngil zong ke keak hi.
19 (and it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, the field of blood: )
Hi thu sia Jerusalem ah a om theampo in he uh a; tua lo sia amate kam in, Akeldama, ci uh hi, a khiakna sia, thisan lo, a cinopna a hihi.
20 for it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let none dwell in it; and again, Let another take his office.)
Banghangziam cile, Psalm labu sung ah, ama omna mun sia awngthong tahen a, a sung ah kuama om heak tahen: taciang a nasep sia midang in la tahen, ci in ki atkhol hi.
21 Wherefore it is necessary that one of these men, who have been conversant with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and out among us,
Tua ahikom Topa Jesus eite sung ah sungtum le pusuak in a om hunsung theampo ah,
22 from the baptism of John, till the day that He was taken up from us, should be joined with us as a witness of his resurrection.
John in tuiphumna a piakpan kipan, eite kung panvan ah a ki lakto ni dong, eite taw a omkhawm te sung pan khatpo sia thawkikna thu eite taw tetti a hi tu in, nasep piak hamtang tu a hihi, ci hi.
23 And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Taciang amate in, Barsabas kici a, Justus zong a kici Joseph le Matthias te ni teal uh hi.
24 And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, shew us, which of these two Thou hast chosen,
Amate in, Topa awng, nangma in mi theampo i thinsung na he hi, hi te ni sung pan kua na teal ziam, ci hong lak tan,
25 to take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas is fallen by his transgression, that he might go to his own place.
Tabang in ama in, thunit ngawlna hang in puk a, ama omna mun ah a pai Judas atu in, hi Pathian nasepna le sawltak te sung ah kihel tu hi, ci in thungen khawm uh hi.
26 And they gave out their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the apostles.
Taciang amate in aisan uh a; aitang sia Matthias tung ah tak hi; taciang ama sia sawltak sawm le khat te taw kisim khawm hi.
