< Sinthongei 13 >

1 Hanchu, Antioch koiindangngei lâia Dêipungei le minchupungei an oma; Ma ngei hah Barnabas ngei, Simeon (miduk an ti) ngei, Cyrene khuoa Lucius ngei, Manaen (Râiôt Herod'n a vâi minlien) ngei le Saul ngei an ni.

Among the members of the church at Antioch there were several prophets and teachers – Barnabas, Simeon who was known by the name of ‘Black’, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, foster-brother of Prince Herod, and Saul.

2 Pumapa sin an thoa, bu an ngêi lâiin Ratha Inthiengin an kôm, “Barnabas le Saul hih ko koina lama sintho rangin mi pêk roi,” a tia.

While they were engaged in the worship of the Lord and were fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.”

3 Bungêiin chubai an tho zoiin chu an chunga kutngei an minngama, an tîr ngei zoi.

Accordingly, after fasting and prayer, they placed their hands on them and dismissed them.

4 Ha anghan, Ratha Inthieng tîrin an sea, Seleucia khuo an tunga, ha mun renga Cyprus tuihuola rukuongin an se zoia.

Barnabas and Saul, sent on this mission, as they were, by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.

5 Hanchu, Salamis khuoa an tungin chu Judangei Synagog ngeia Pathien thurchi an misîra. John Mark hah an insanpui rangin an tuong sa.

On reaching Salamis, they began to tell the message of God in the Jewish synagogues; and they had John with them as an assistant.

6 Tuihuol hah Paphos dênin an chai suoa, dôithei, dêipu inti Juda inkhat a riming Bar-Jisua an tonga.

After passing through the whole island, they reached Paphos, where they found an astrologer who pretended to be a prophet – a Jew by birth, whose name was Barjoshua.

7 Ama hah tuihuol râiôt Sergius Paulus mi vâr tak khom a malpa ania. Ha râiôt han Pathien chong rangâi a nuom sikin Barnabas le Saul a koia.

He was at the court of the Governor, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who sent for Barnabas and Saul and asked to be told God’s message.

8 Hannirese, dôipu Elimus (Greek riming) han râiôt hah takminsôn loi rang pûtin anni hah a lei deia.

But Elymas, the astrologer (for that is the meaning of the word), opposed them, eager to divert the Governor’s attention from the faith.

9 Hanchu Saul, Paul an ti sa ngâi hah Ratha Inthiengin a sipa, dôipu hah a en ngita, a kôm,

However, Saul (who is the same as Paul), full of the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him and said,

10 male “Nangma khori nâipasal! satnangei nâm râlpa, milak ngei nâmin ni minsipa, zoratin Pathien chongtakngei hih chong milak min chang rang no bôk ngâi ani.

“You incarnation of deceit and all fraud! You son of the devil! You opponent of all that is good! Will you never cease to divert the straight paths of the Lord? Listen!

11 Atûn Pumapa kut nu chunga achum rang ani, ni mit jîng a ta, sûn khovâr mu khâino tini,” a tia. Sûm le ijîngin ama hah abok kelen zoia, a kairuoi rang mi zongin ânvâk titira.

The hand of the Lord is on you even now, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the sun.” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him, and he went feeling about for someone to guide him.

12 Râiôt han ahong mu lehan khoimo atung hah, a iem zoia; Pumapa minchuna chungroi hah a kamâm oka.

When the Governor saw what had happened, he became a believer in Christ, being greatly impressed by the teaching about the Lord.

13 Paul le a champuingei hah Paphos khopuilien renga rukuongin an sea, Pamphylia rama Perga an tunga, mahan John Mark'n anni hah a mâka, Jerusalema a kîr nôk zoia.

After this, Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

14 Anni hah Perga renga an se tita, Pisidia rama Antioch an tunga, male Sabbathnin chu Synagog taka an lûta, an insunga.

The others went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and took their seats.

15 Moses balam le dêipungei lekhabungei an miziekngei hah an pore suole chu Synagog ulienngeiin an kôm mi an tîra: “Sûngsuokngei, mohôkna chong nin dôn aomin chu mipuingei kôm misîr rangin nangni kin nuom ani,” an tia.

After the reading of the Law and the prophets, the synagogue leader sent them this message – “Friends, if you have any helpful words to address to the people, now is the time to speak.”

16 Paul ândinga, a kutin a jâpa, thurchi misîr a phut zoia: “Ki Israel champuingei le Jentialngei murdi Pathien biek ngei, ko chong rangâi roi!

So Paul rose and, motioning with his hand, said: “People of Israel and all here who worship God, hear what I have to say.

17 Israelngei Pathien mingei ei richibulngei a lei thanga, Egypt khuolmingei anghan an om lâiin nam lienpân a sina, a ranak lienin Egypt renga a kai suo ngeia,

The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors, and during their stay in Egypt increased the prosperity of the people, and then with uplifted arm brought them out from that land.

18 male kum sômminli ramchâra an sinthongei hah a en chien theia.

For about forty years he bore with them in the desert;

19 Canaan rama nam sari an inmanga, a mingei a ram puma a minchang zoi.

then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people –

20 Ma ngei nâm hah Kum raza minli sômrangnga alût ani. “Masuole han roijêkpungei a pêk ngeia, dêipu Samuel dêna han.

For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the prophet Samuel was the last.

21 Male Rêng an ngêna, ma anghan Pathien'n Saul, Kish nâipasal, Benjamin rûia mi hah kum sômminli sûnga an rêng rangin a pêk ngeia.

And, when they demanded a king, God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.

22 Ama hah an hengpai suole chu Pathien'n David hah an rêng aminchanga, ma chungroi hah Pathien'n hi anghin a misîra; ‘David Jesse nâipasal, ku lungdo mi ka mân zoi, ama han sin ranga ku nuom murdi sin a tih,’ a tia.

After removing him, he raised David to the throne, and bore this testimony to him – ‘In David, the son of Jesse, I have found a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my purposes.’

23 Mahi Jisua, David richisuonpârngei lâi renga han Israel mingei Sanminringpu'n ai sin ani, Pathien'n a lei khâm anghan.

It was from this man’s descendants that God, in accordance with his promise, gave Israel a Savior – Jesus;

24 Jisua'n a sin a phut mân han, Israel mingei an sietnangei renga an insîra baptisma an changna rangin John'n thurchi a misîr pe ngei ngâia.

John having first proclaimed, before the appearance of Jesus, a baptism on repentance for all the people of Israel.

25 Male John'n a sintum a zoi rangto han mipuingei kôm, ‘Keima hih tumo ani mi nin ti? nin ngâkpu hah keima hih ni mu ung. Aniatachu, rangâi ta u! ku nûka juong a tih, kei chu a kekok khek rang luo inhoi mu ung,’ a tia.

As John was drawing towards the end of his career, he said ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not the Christ. But there is “one coming” after me, whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.’

26 “Abraham richisuonpârngei, ki richibulngei le Jentailngei murdi Pathien biek ngei, hi Sanminringna chong hih ei kôm a juongtîr ani.

Brothers and sisters, descendants of Abraham, and all those among you who worship God, it was to us that the message of this salvation was sent.

27 Jerusalema mi omngei le an ruoipungei han sanminringpu ani an riet loi sik le dêipungei chong Sabbathni tina an pore ngâi hah aomtie an rietloi sikin Jisua theiloi min changin dêipungei chong an mintung min dik zoi.

The people of Jerusalem and their leaders, failing to recognize Jesus, and not understanding the utterances of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

28 Thina rang rak dôr a chunga ite abi an man no khomin that rangin Pilat kôm an ngêna.

They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;

29 Male a chungroi Pathien lekhabu'n a miziek murdi atung suole chu Khros renga an musuma, thâna an min jâl zoia.

and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.

30 Aniatachu, Pathien'n thina renga a kaithoi nôk zoi,

But God raised him from the dead;

31 Galilee ram renga Jerusalema ama leh munkhata lei se ngei kôm han sûn tamtak ânlâr ngâia; ha mingei hah atûna hin Israel mingei kôm ama rietpuipungei an ni.

and he appeared for many days to those who had gone up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and who are now witnesses for him to the people.

32 Ei richibulngei kôma Pathien'n chong a lei khâm hah, eini a richisuonpârngei ta rangin Pathien'n atûna hih Jisua kaithoiin atung ani ti Thurchi Sa nangni kin mintung pe. Lapui inikna taka aom anghan. ‘Ka Nâipasal ni ni; Avien hin na Pa ko hongni zoi.’

We also have good news to tell you, about the promise made to our ancestors –

That our children have had this promise completely fulfilled to them by God, by his raising Jesus. That is just what is said in the second Psalm – ‘You are my Son; this day I have become your Father.’

34 Monna mun thâna kîr nôk khâi loi rangin Pathien'n ama hah thina renga a kaithoi rang roi hi anghin a misîra; ‘Satvurna inthieng le adik David kôma kên khâm hah nang pêk ki tih,’ tiin.

As to his raising Jesus from the dead, never again to return to corruption, this is what is said – ‘I will give to you the sacred promises made to David;’

35 Masikin, minpâkna la dangin, ‘Ni mi inthieng chu thâna mon rangin phal no ti nih,’ ati sa.

And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said – ‘You will not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.’

36 David'n ama zora kai chu Pathien lungdo a sina, masuole chu a thia, a richibulngei leh an phûma, a takpum hah thâna amon zoi.

David, after obediently doing God’s will in his own time, fell asleep and was laid by the side of his ancestors, and did undergo corruption;

37 Pathien'n thina renga a kaithoipu ha chu mon mak.

but Jesus, whom God raised from the dead, did not undergo corruption.

38 Ki Israel sûngsuokngei, mahih nin riet rangin kin nuom, Jisua sikin ani sietnangei ngâidamna chong nin kôma misîrin aom; male tukhom ama iem kai chu Moses balamin a mojôk theiloi sietnangei murdi renga an jôk zoia.

I would, therefore, like you to know, friends, that through Jesus forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,

and that, in union with him, everyone who believes in him is absolved from every sin from which under the Law of Moses you could not be absolved.

40 Masikin, indîn roi, dêipungei lei ti hah nin chunga tung duoi nih.

Beware, therefore, that what is said in the prophets does not come true of you –

41 ‘Mumâkpungei, en ta u! kamâm aom ti ungla, thi roi! asikchu aviena sin ko tho hih, Mîn nangni ril minthâr pe khom rese ngei iem no tunui!’” ti hah a tia.

‘Look, you despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I am doing a deed in your days – a deed which, though told you in full, you will never believe’.”

42 Paul le Barnabas hah Synagog renga an jôkin chu sabbathni nôka ma chong hah hong misîr nôk rangin mipuingei han an siela.

As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people begged for a repetition of this teaching on the next Sabbath.

43 Ânbûm ngei an chîn zoiin chu Judangei le an Juda rotholngei tamtakin Paul le Barnabas an jûia, Tîrtonngei han, Pathien moroina nuoi han om tit rangin an mohôka.

After the congregation had dispersed, many of the Jews, and of the converts who joined in their worship, followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue to rely on the loving kindness of God.

44 Sabbathni nôka chu a khopui pumpui ti dôrin Pathien chong rangâi rangin an hong intûpa.

On the following Sabbath, almost all the city gathered to hear God’s message.

45 Judangei han mipuingei an mûn chu an narsa oka, Paul thurchi misîr hah an makhala, an misîr minpôta.

But the sight of the crowds of people filled the minds of the Jews with jealousy, and they kept contradicting Paul’s statements in violent language.

46 Aniatachu Paul le Barnabas han hâi uolin an misîra, “Pathien chong hi nin kôma misîr masa rang piel ani; hannirese, nin henga, kumtuong ringna manpui rangin ahunin nin be loi sikin, nangni mâkin Jentailngei tieng pan kin tih. (aiōnios g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out fearlessly, and said: “It was necessary that the message of God should be told to you first; but, since you reject it and reckon yourselves not worthy of the eternal life – we turn to the Gentiles! (aiōnios g166)

47 Mahi Pumapa chong mi pêk ani; ‘Jentailngei min vârpu'n nang ki minchang, masikin rammuol murdi an ring theina rangin ti hi,’” an tia.

For this is the Lord’s command to us – ‘I have destined you for a light to the Gentiles, a means of salvation to the ends of the earth’.”

48 Jentailngei han ha chong hah an rietin chu an râiasâna, Pumapa chong an chôiminsânga; kumtuong ringna chang ranga thang ngei kai chu iempungei an hong chang zoi. (aiōnios g166)

On hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and extolled God’s message; and all those who had been enrolled for eternal life became believers in Christ; (aiōnios g166)

49 Pumapa chong hah ramhuol muntina ânzar zoia.

and the Lord’s message was carried throughout that district.

50 Hannirese Khopuiliena Juda ulienngei le Pathien biek mi Jentail nupang mirit omngei an misieta; Paul le Barnabas hah an nuom an min loa, an ramhuol renga an rujûlpai zoia.

But the Jews incited the women of high social standing who worshiped with them, and the leading men of the town, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their region.

51 Tîrtonngei han anni ngei chunga an mulung hoiloi minlangnân an kepha taka pildi an không mathâka, Iconium an pan zoi.

They, however, shook the dust off their feet in protest,

52 Antioch taka iempungei chu râisânna le Ratha Inthiengin an sip zoi.

and went to Iconium, leaving the disciples full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
