1Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
1Huan, Antiok khuaa saptuam omte lakah jawlnei kuate hiam leh, thuhilhmi kuate hiam a om ua; huaite tuh Barnaba bang, Sumeon Niger a chih bang uh, Kurini khuaa mi Lusia bang, kumpipa Herod unau ding Manaen bang, Saula bang ahi uh.
2And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
2Huan, Toupa na a sem ua, an a ngawl lai un, Kha Siangthouin, Barnaba leh Saula amaute ka sehna hih dingin honhih khensak un, a chi a.
3Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
3Huchiin, an a ngawl ua, a thum khit un a tunguah a khut uh a koih ua, a paisakta uh.
4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
4Huchiin, Kha Siangthou sawlkhiak in a pai ua, Seliusia khua ah a hoh suk ua, huai akipanin Kupra tuikulh ah longin a pai uh.
5And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.
5Huan, Salami khuaa a om lai un Judate kikhopna in ah Pathian thu a gen ua; Johan leng a nek uh bawl dingin a pi ua.
6And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus;
6Huan, tuikulh tuh Papho khua phain a nawk suak ua, bumsiam, jawlnei taklou, Juda mi khat a mu ua, a min tuh Bar-Jesu ahi.
7who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
7Huai mi tuh gamukpa Serjia Paulus -mi piltak kianga om ahi. Huai gamukpa Barnaba leh Saula a sama, Pathian thu jak a tum a.
8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
8Himahleha, bumsiam Elima, (Bar-Jesu min omdan ahi a); huaiin gamukpa ginlouhsak tumin, amau tuh a na khak hi.
9But Saul, who is also [called] Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
9Huchiin, Saula, Paula a chih mah uh; Kha Siangthouin a dima, amah tuh a ensala.
10and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
10Nang mi khem leh huathuai chitenga dimpa, diabol tapa aw, nang diktatna teng teng melmapa aw, Toupa lam diktakte hihsiat na tawp kei ding maw?
11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
11Theiin, tuin Toupa khut na tungah a tu ahi, na mita hongto dinga, khovak na mu tadih kei ding, a chi a. Huchiin mei leh mialin amah a boh pah ngala, khuta kai ding zongin a vak a vakta hi.
12Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
12Huan, gamukpan huai thilhih tuh a mu a, Toupa thuhilh tuh lamdang a sa mahmah hi, a gingtata hi.
13Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
13Huan, Paula tuh a tonpihte toh Papho khua akipanin longin a pai ua, Pamphilia gama Perga khua a tung ua; huan, Johanin amau a paisana, Jerusalem khua ah a kik nawnta hi.
14But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
14Himahleh, amau Perga khua akipan a pai jel ua, Pisidia gama Antiok khua a tung ua; huan, Khawlniin kikhopna in ah a lut ua, a tu ua.
15And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
15Huan, Dan laibu leh jawlneite laibu a sim khit un, kikhopna in upaten a kiang uah mi a sawl ua, Unaute aw, mite hasotna thu banghiam na neih uh leh gen un, a chi ua.
16And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:
16Huan, Paula a dinga, khutin a japa, a gen a; Israel mite leh Pathian laudansiamte aw, ngai un.
17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.
17Hiai Israel chite Pathianin I pipute a tela, Aigupta gama a tam lai un a hihthupi a, tungnung khutin huaia kipanin a pikheta.
18And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.
18Huan, kum sawmli khawng gamdai ah a thilhihte uh a thuak theitheia.
19And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:
19Huan, Kanan gama nam sagih a hihsiat khitin, a gam uh luah dingin a pe jela, kum za li leh kum sawmnga sung teng.
20and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.
20Huai nungin vaihawmmite a pe jela, jawlnei Samuel tannin.
21And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.
21Huan, huai nungin kumpipa a ngen ua; huchiin Pathianin, Saula, Kish tapa, Benjamin chia, amau a pia a, kum sawmli sung dingin.
22And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who shall do all My will.
22Huan, amah a suan mang nungin a kumpipa ding ua om dingin David a bawlta a; Pathianin huai thu theihsakin, David, Jesai tapa, ka lungtang bang pu mi ka mukheta, aman ka deihlam peuh a hih ding, a chi a.
23Of this man's seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
23Huai suante lakah Pathianin, thuchiam bang jelin, Israelte kiangah Hondampa Jesu a hontuna;
24when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
24A hongpai main Johanin kisikna baptisma thu Israel mi tengteng kiang ah a na hilh msask hi.
25And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.
25Huan, Johanin a lam a tot khit kuan lain, Nouten kua dingin non sep ua? Amah jaw ka hi kei. Himahleh, ngai un, ka nungah mi kuahiam khat hongpai dek ahi, kei jaw a khepeka khetuam phel tham leng ka hi kei, a chi a.
26Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.
26Unaute aw, Abraham suana tate aw, na lak ua Pathian laudansiamte tengteng aw, eimahte kiangah hiai hotdamna thu a honkhakkhia uhi.
27For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].
27Jerusalem khuaa omten a makaite utoh, amah tuh a theih louh jiak uleh, jawlneite thu, Khawlni peuhmahai a sim jel uh, a theih louh jiak un, amah tuh siamlouh tangsakin, huai thu ana hihtangtungta uh ahi.
28And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.
28A sihna ding khop a tungah bangmah a muh louh un leng, Pilat kiangah hihlup dingin a ngen ua.
29And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
29Huan, a thu jawlneiten a gelh kholh tengteng uh a hihtangtun khit un, singa kipanin a lakhia ua, han ah a sialta uhi.
30But God raised him from the dead:
30Himahleh, Pathianin misi lak akipan a kaithou nawnta a;
31and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.
31huan, Galili gam akipan Jerusalem khuaa amah toh hohtoute kiangah ni sawtpi tak a kilak ngitngeta; huai mite tun ah mi kianga a thu theihpihte ahi uh.
32And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,
32Kou leng pipute kianga chiamsa huai thuchiam a tanchin kipahhuai ka honhilh uhi;
33that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
33huchia Pathianin Jesu a kaihthoh, I tate kiangah huai tuh a hihtangtung ahi; Sam nihna ah, Ka tapa na knahi a, tuniin kon suang, chih gelh bangin.
34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.
34Muatna muna pai nawn lou dingin Pathianin amah misi akipan a kaihthoh dingdan thu sehsa bangin a gen, David kianga hehpihna ka chiamte nangmah ka honpe ding, chiin.
35Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give Thy Holy One to see corruption.
35Huaijiakin Sam dangah, Na Mi Siangthou muatmang na phal kei ding, a chi behlap hi.
36For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
36David jaw, Pathian vaihawm sak bangin a hinpihte na a sep khitin, a ihmu a, a pipute kiangah a sial ua, a muat mangta ahi;
37but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.
37himahleh Pathian kaihthohin jaw muatna a mu kei hi.
38Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:
38Huchiin, unaute aw, thei un; amah jiakin khelhna ngaihdamna thu na kiang ua gen ahi;
39and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
39kuapeuh a gingta tuh bangkim ah amah siamtan sakin a om, huaiah tuh Mosi danin siamtansakin na om theikei uh.
40Beware therefore, lest that come upon [you] which is spoken in the prophets:
40Huaijiakin pilvang un, huchilou in jaw jawlneite laibu a a gen uh na tunguah a hongtung ding hi,
41Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.
41Musitte aw, en un, lamdang sa unla, mangthang un; na damsung un na khat ka sem hi, huai na tuh, min nou honhilh mahle uh, na gingta kei hial ding uhi, chih, a chi a.
42And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.
42Huan, a pawtun, Khawlni nawn chianga huai thute gen nawn dingin a ngen uh.
43Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
43Huan, kikhawmte tuh a kikhen tak un, Judate leh phungkaite Pathian limsak laka mi tampiin Paula leh Barnaba a jui jel ua; amau a na houpih ua, Pathian hehpihna ah om gige dingin a hasuan uh.
44And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
44Huan, Khawlni nawnin, a khojang phialin Pathian thu ngaikhe dingin a hongkikhawm ua.
45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
45Himahleh, Judaten mipite a muh tak un a haza mahmah ua; Paula thugen a kalh ua, a gensia uhi.
46And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
46Huan, Paula leh Barnabain hangtakin a genkhia ua, Pathian thu jaw noumaute kiangah gen masak ding him ahi; himahleh, na nial ua, khantawna hing tak loua na kisehkhit nung un, thei un, Jentelte lam ka ngata uh.
47For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.
47Huchibangin Toupan thu a honpia hi, Jentelte hihvakpa din ka honsep a, kawlmong pha a Hondampa dia na om theihna dingin, chih gelh bangin, a chi a.
48And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
48Huan, Jentelten huai thu a jak un, a kipak ua, Pathian thu a pahtawi ua, huan, khantawna hing dinga seh peuhmahin a gingta uhi.
49And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.
49Huan, Toupa thu tuh, huai gam khokim khovel ah a dalhta a.
50But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.
50Himahleh, Judaten numei zahtakhuai Pathian limsakte leh khua upahonte a hasuan ua, Paula leh Barnaba a sawisak ua, a gam ua kipan a delhkhia uh.
51But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
51Huan, amau a tunguah a khepek ua leivui a singkhia ua, Ikoniam khua a tung uh.Huan, nungjuite kipahna leh Kha Siangthouin a dim chiat uh.
52And the disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
52Huan, nungjuite kipahna leh Kha Siangthouin a dim chiat uh.
