Pakhonchatpa 8
1 Stephen-bu hatpada Saul-na ayaba pikhi. Numit adumaktada Jerusalem-da leiba singlup adugi mathakta akanba ot-neiba thoklammi. Pakhonchatpasing nattana thajaba makhoi pumnamak Judea amadi Samaria-gi mapham pumnamakta ichai chaithoklammi.
With these words he fell asleep. And Saul fully approved of his murder. On this very day there broke out a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostle were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
2 Tengban Mapubu chetna ningba mi kharana Stephen-bu leirol challammi amadi mahakkidamak kanna tengtharammi.
Devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentations over him.
3 Adubu Saul-na yum yumda changduna thajaba nupa nupisingbu chingthoklaga keisumsangda thamjinduna singluppu manghanba hotnarammi.
But Saul was laying waste the church. He was wont to enter into every house, and to drag off men and women, and to commit them to prison.
4 Chaithokkhraba thajabasing aduna makhoina chatpa chatpa mapham khudingda Tengban Mapugi wa sandoklammi.
So those who were scattered abroad were going everywhere preaching the word.
5 Philip-na Samaria-gi sahar amada chatlammi aduga mapham adugi misingda Christtagi maramda sandoklammi.
Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and began to preach Christ there.
6 Miyam aduna Philip-ki wa tabada amadi mahakna touba angakpa khudamsing adu ubada mahakna haiba wa aduda makhoi pukning changna tarammi.
The crowd with one accord were giving heed to what he said, when they heard and saw the signs that he did.
7 Phattaba thawaisingna mi kayadagi ahouba khonjel laoduna thoraklammi pangthaduna naba kaya amadi khong tekpa kaya ama pharammi.
For with a loud cry unclean spirits would come out of many possessed by them, and many that were palsied and lame were healed.
8 Maram aduna sahar aduda yamna haraorammi.
There began to be great joy in that city.
9 Mapham aduda Simon kouba nupa ama leirammi, mahakna matam khara hikap-yaikap touduna Samaria-gi misingbu ngak-hallammi. Mahakna masabu athoiba mi amani haiduna chaothokcharammi.
Now for some time a man named Simon had been practising sorcery in that city, and had amazed the people of Samaria. He gave himself out to be some great person.
10 Aduga sahar adugi achou pisak mi pumnamakna mahakna haiba wa pukning changna tarammi. Makhoina hairak-i, “Mahak asi ‘Thoihellaba Panggal’ kouba Tengban Mapugi panggal aduni.”
Many from all classes would give heed to him, declaring, "This man is the Power of God, known as the Great Power."
11 Matam kuina mahakna mahakki hikap-yeikapna makhoibu ngak-hanbagi maramna makhoina mahakki matung illammi.
They were giving heed to him because, for a long time, he had amazed them with his sorceries.
12 Adubu Philip-na Tengban Mapugi leibakki amadi Jisu Christtagi maramda sandokpa aphaba pao adu makhoina thajaduna nupa nupi animak yaona makhoi baptize lourammi.
But when they believed Philip, who was preaching glad tidings about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they began to be baptized, both men and women.
13 Simon masamaksu thajaduna baptize lourammi. Philip-na chatpa mapham khuding mahak matung illammi amasung mahakna angakpa khudamsing amadi angakpa thabaksing adu ubada ngaklammi.
And Simon himself also believed, and after his baptism he remained with Philip, and was full of amazement as he beheld the signs and striking miracles which were performed.
14 Samaria-gi misingna Tengban Mapugi wa lousille haiba tabada Jerusalem-da leiba pakhonchatpasingna Peter amadi John-bu makhoigi manakta tharammi.
The apostle at Jerusalem, when they heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, sent to them Peter and John.
15 Makhoina thunglabada thajabasing adu Thawai Asengba phangnanaba makhoigidamak haijabirammi.
Who came down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
16 Maramdi Thawai Asengbana makhoi kana amatagi mathakta laklamdri; makhoidi Ibungo Jisugi mingda baptize toubatani.
For he had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Adudagi Peter amadi John-na makhoigi mathakta khut thambirammi amasung makhoina Thawai Asengba phangjarammi.
Then the apostles laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Pakhonchatpasingna makhoigi mathakta khut thambibada Thawai Asengba pibiba adu Simon-na ubada mahakna makhoida sel kattuna
But when Simon perceived that, by the laying on of the apostles’ hands, the Spirit was given, he offered them money saying,
19 hairak-i, “Eina khut thamba mi khudingmakna Thawai Asengba phangnanaba matik adu eingondasu pibiyu.”
"Give me, too, this power, so that on whomever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit."
20 Maduda Peter-na mangonda khumlak-i, “Selna Tengban Mapugi khudolbu leiba yai haina nahakna khanba maram asina nahakki sel nahakka loinana mangba oisanu!
But Peter said to him. "Your money perish with you, because you have supposed that with money you can obtain God’s free gift!"
21 Eikhoigi thabak asida nahakki saruk amadi thoudang amata yaode maramdi Tengban Mapugi mangda nahakki thamoi adu chumde.
"You have no part or lot in this matter." Your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Phattaba asidagi nahak pukning hong-u aduga nahakki thamoida adugumba wakhal leiba adugidamak Mapu Ibungoda haijou adu oirabadi nahakpu kokpiba yai.
Repent then of this your wickedness, and beseech the Lord to forgive you this purpose of your heart.
23 Nahak kalakpana thalle amadi ayol aranna pulle haiba eina u-i.”
"For I perceive that you still stand in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of unrighteousness."
24 Maduda Simon-na Peter amadi John-da hairak-i, “Nakhoina haikhibasing adu ithakta tadanaba eigidamak Mapu Ibungoda haijabiyu.”
And Simon answered, "Pray to the Lord for me, both of you, that nothing which you have said may happen to me."
25 Makhoina sakhi piraba amadi Mapu Ibungogi wa adu sandoklaba matungda Peter amadi John Samaria-gi khun kayada Aphaba Pao sandok sandokna Jerusalem tanna hallammi.
So the apostles, after bearing solemn witness, and declaring the message of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, evangelizing many Samaritan villages as they went.
26 Mapu Ibungogi swargadut amana Philip-ta hairak-i, “Kha pangna Jerusalem-dagi Gaza taba leikanglagi lambi aduda chatlu.” (Houjikti lambi asi sijinnadre.)
And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise and go on your way south, along the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert way."
27 Maram aduna mahakna chatpa hourammi, mahakki khongchat manungda Ethopia-gi leimarembi Candace-gi lan-thum pumnamak panaba masa onba maru-oiba phamnaiba ama thengnarammi. Mahak Jerusalem-da Tengban Mapubu khurumjaba chatlubani.
So he arose and went. And behold an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, who was a high official (a chief treasurer) of Candace, the queen of Ethiopia, who had come to Jerusalem to worship
28 Aduga mahakna mayum hallakpagi lambida mahakki sagol gari mathakta phamduna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou Isaiah-gi lairik adu paduna leirammi.
Was now on his way home, and was reading the Prophet Isaiah as he sat in his chariot.
29 Maduda Thawai Asengbana Philip-ta hairak-i, “Sagol gari adugi manakta changsillaga leiyu.”
And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go up and join that chariot."
30 Adudagi Philip-na sagol gari adugi manakta chensillammi aduga mahakna maichou Isaiah-gi lairik pariba adu tare. Maduda Philip-na mangonda hanglak-i, “Nahakna pariba adu khangba ngambra?”
So Philip ran up, and heard him reading Isaiah the Prophet, and said to him. "Do you understand what you are reading?"
31 Mahakna khumlak-i, “Kanagumba amana eingonda takpidrabadi karamna khanggani?” Maram aduna mahakna Philip-pu sagol gari mathakta kakhatlaga mahakka phamminnanaba haijarammi.
The eunuch answered, "Why, how can I unless someone shall show me the way?" And he begged Philip to get up and sit with him.
32 Mahakna pariba Mapugi puya adugi saruk adu asini: “Sa hatphamda puba yaogum Ibungobu chingle, yao machana magi matu kakpagi mangda tumin leibagumna Ibungona wa ngangkhide.
Now the portion of Scripture which he was reading was as follows. He was led a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is dumb, So he opened not his mouth.
33 Ibungobu ikaiba pire amadi Ibungoda achumba wayel phanghandre. Kananasu Ibungogi mirolgi maramda haiba ngamlaroi, maramdi Ibungogi thawai malemdagi louthokkhre.”
In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who will declare his posterity? For his life is cut off from the earth.
34 Phamnaiba aduna Philip-ta hanglak-i, “Maichou asina kanagi maramda hairibano? Mahak masagi maramdara nattraga kanagumba amagi maramdara?”
"Pray," asked the eunuch of Philip, "of whom is the prophet speaking? Of himself, or of some one else?"
35 Adudagi Philip-na puyagi mapham asidagi houraga mangonda Jisugi maramgi Aphaba Pao adu sandoklammi.
Then Philip opened his lips, and beginning from that same scripture, he preached the gospel of Jesus to him.
36 Makhoina lam aduda asum lakpada ising leiba mapham ama youraklammi maduda phamnaiba aduna hairak-i, “Mapham asida ising khara leire. Eibu baptize toubibada kari apanba leibage?”
And as they were going on their way they came to a certain water, and the eunuch said. "See, here is water! What hinders my being baptized?"
37 Maduda Philip-na mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna nahakki thamoi pumnamak yaona thajarabadi yai.” Maduda mahakna khumlak-i, “Tengban Mapugi Machanupa adu Jisu Christtani haiba eina thajei.”
And Philip said, "If you believe with your whole heart, you may." The eunuch answered, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
38 Phamnaiba aduna sagol gari adu lepnaba yathang pirammi aduga makhoi ani haibadi Philip amadi phamnaiba aduna isingda kumtharammi aduga Philip-na mahakpu baptize toubire.
And he ordered the chariot to stop; and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.
39 Makhoina isingdagi kakhatlakpa matamda Mapu Ibungogi Thawaina Philip-pu khanghoudana puthokkhre aduga phamnaiba aduna mahakpu ukhidre adubu mahak haraona chatkhi.
And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but continued on his way rejoicing.
40 Adubu Philip masamak Azotus-ta leire haiba khangle mahakna Caesarea youdriphaoba mahakna lakpada sahar pumnamakta Aphaba Pao sandoklammi.
Philip found himself at Ashdod. Then visiting town after town, he kept preaching the good news in all the cities until he reached Caesarea.
