¹But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,

¹Himahleh, mi khat a min Anania, a ji Sapphira toh a om ua; Ananiain a neih uh a juaka, a ji theihin a man a khen a imta a;

²and kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

²huan, a khen a hontawia, sawltakte khebul ah a koih a.

³But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?

³Himahleh, Peterin, Kha Siangthou khem ding leh gamman a khen imdingin bangdia Setanin na lungtang hihkhauh ahia?

⁴While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou has not lied unto men, but unto God.

⁴A om laiteng nanga ahi gige ka hia? na juak nungin leng na thuthuin a om ka hia? bangachia hiai thute na lungtanga ngaihtuah? Mihing khem na hi kei, Pathian khem na hi jaw, a chi a.

⁵And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it.

⁵Huan, Ananiain huai thu a jak takin a puka, a sita a; huan, a za peuhin a lau mahmahta uh.

⁶And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁶Huan, tangval hon a thou ua, a tuam ua, a jawng khia ua, a vuita uh.

⁷And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

⁷Huan, dakkal thum ding hiam nung in, thil omdan theilouin a ji a hongluta.

⁸And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much.

⁸Huan, Peterin a kiangah, honhilh in, gam, hiai zah phetin maw na juak uh? a chi a. Huan, aman, He, hiai zah phetin ahi, a chi a.

⁹But Peter [said] unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.

⁹Huan, Peterin a kiangah, bangachia Toupa Kha zeet dinga kithutuak na hi ua? Ngaiin, kongkhak bul ah na pasal vuite khepek a hongomta, nang leng a honjawng khe ding uh, a chi a.

¹⁰And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹⁰Huan, thakhatin a khe bul ah a puk paha, a sita hi; huan, tangval hon a honglut ua, amah tuh siin a hongmu ua, a jawngkhia ua, a pasal kiangah a vuita uhi.

¹¹And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.

¹¹Huan, saptuamte tengteng leh huai thu za peuhten a lauta mahmah uhi.

¹²And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

¹²Huan, mi lakah Pathianin sawltakte khutin chiamtehna leh thillamdang tampi a hih jel hi. Huan, amaute a vek un lungsim mun khatin Solomon in lim ah a kikhawm jel uhi.

¹³But of the rest durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;

¹³Mi dang bel kuamah a lak uah a pang ngamta kei uh; himahleh, min amaute a phat ngal ua.

¹⁴and believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of them and women;

¹⁴Huan, a gingthak hon numei leh pasal tampi takin Toupa kiangah a honbehlap tuantuan uh.

¹⁵insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.

¹⁵Huchiin mi damloute leng kongzing khawngah a lumsak ua, Peter pai kawma a lim bekin a lak ua khat bek a liah theihna ding in, a chi ua.

¹⁶And there also came together the multitudes from the cities round about Jerusalem, bring sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.

¹⁶Huan, Jerusalem kho kim khua akipan mipite leng huai damloute dawi nin hihgimte honpiin a hongkhawm ua; huaite leng a hongdam chiatta uh.

¹⁷But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,

¹⁷Huan, siampu lianpen leh a lawmte tengteng a hongkisa ua, (huai a lawmte tuh Saddukai pawl ahi uh) a haza mahmah ua.

¹⁸and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward.

¹⁸Sawltakte a man ua, vantang khumna ah a khumta uhi.

¹⁹But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said,

¹⁹Himahleh, janin Toupa angel khatin kongkhakte a honhonga, a pikhia a.

²⁰Go ye, and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life.

²⁰Pathian biakin ah vading unla, mi kiangah hiai hinna thute vagen un, a chi a.

²¹And when they heard [this], they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought.

²¹Huan, huai thu a jak un khovak hun laiin, Pathian biakin ah a valut ua, thu a vahilhta uh. Himahleh, Siampu Lian leh a lawmte a hong ua, vaihawmte leh Israel suante upate tengteng a sam khawm ua, sawltakte hon pi sak dingin suangkulh ah mi a sawl uhi.

²²But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and they returned, and told,

²²Himahleh, upate a vahoh ua, suangkulh ah lah amau a mu kei ua; huchiin a kik nawn uh.

²³saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

²³Suangkulh bit tak a kikhakin, a vengte leng kongkhak bulah dingin a mu ngal ua, himahleh, ka hong ua, a sungah kuamah ka mu sam kei ua, chiin a gen ua.

²⁴Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow.

²⁴Huan, Pathian biakin upa leh siampu lalten, huai thute a jak un, Hiai bang, bangchi phetin a thang de aw? chiin, a thu ah a mang uh a bang petpeta.

²⁵And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people.

²⁵Huan, mi khat a honga, a kiang uah, Ngai un, suang kulha na mi khumte un Pathian biakina dingin mi a hilh uh, ka chi! chiin a honggen a.

²⁶Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, [but] without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

²⁶Huchiin upa tuh upate toh a vahoh ua vantang a kihtak jiak un, hiamgamna om louin a honpi ua, huchi hikei leh suanga den ahi kha ding uh.

²⁷And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

²⁷Huan, a honpi tun tak un, vaihawmmite maah a dingsak ua. Huan, siampu lianpenin, a kiang uah,

²⁸saying, We strictly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

²⁸Huai minin thu hilh louh ding ka honchita ua; thei un, na thuhilh un Jerusalem khua a hihdim vekta uh, hiai mipa sisan honkhuksak tum nei ve ua, chiin a sal a.

²⁹But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.

²⁹Himahleh, Peter leh sawltakten, Mihing thu sangin Pathian thu i man a kiphamohjaw hi.

³⁰The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.

³⁰Nou singah Jesu khaikangin na hihlumua, i pipute Pathianin a kaithou nawnta ahi.

³¹Him did God exalt with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

³¹Amah mah tuh Pathianin Kumpipa leh Hondampa a om dingin a taklam ah a hihlianta a, Israelte khelhna pan kiheisak ding leh ngaidam dingin.

³²And we are witnesses of these things; and [so is] the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

³²Huai thute kou a theihpihte ka hi ua; Kha Siangthou, Pathianin a thu jui peuhte kianga a piak tak, a theipa ahi nawn lai, a chi ua, a dawng ua.

³³But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and minded to slay them.

³³Huan, amau, huai thu a jak un a sin uh a thak mahmaha, hihlup a tumta uh.

³⁴But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honor of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while.

³⁴Himahleh, vaihawmte lakah, a min Gamaliel, Pharisai, Dantheimi, mi tengteng laka minthangpi mi khat a dinga, tua mite khah takdih ding thu a pia a.

³⁵And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do.

³⁵Huan, vaihawmte kiangah, Nou Israel mite aw, hiai mite tunga na thilhih tup uh pilvang un.

³⁶For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought.

³⁶Tumalamin leng, Theuda, mi lian kichiin, a hongoma, huai mipa kiangah mi tampi, za li phial, a na awn ua, amah tuh hihlupin a omta a; a thu jui peuhmah a vek un a dalhjakta uh, bangmah a hita kei uhi.

³⁷After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the enrolment, and drew away [some of the] people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

³⁷Huai mi om nungin min gelh laiin, Galili gama mi huai Juda a hongom nawna; a lamah mi khenkhat a hip nawna; himahleh amah leng a sita a, a thu jui peuhmah tuh a vek un a dalhjakta uh.

³⁸And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown:

³⁸Huai jiakin tuin ka honhilh ahi, hiai mite khoih kei unla, amau om omin omsak un; hiai a thiltup uh leh a thilhih uh mihing akipan ahihleh a mang ding;

³⁹but if it is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God.

³⁹ahihhangin Pathian akipan ahihleh amau na hihmang theikei ding uh; huchilouin jaw Pathian dou na nahi zenzen kha ding uh, a chi a.

⁴⁰And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

⁴⁰Huan, a gen tuh lem a sata ua; huchiin, sawltakte tuh a sam ua, a vua ua; a vuak khit un, Jesu mina thu gen louh ding chi bikbekin a khahta uh.

⁴¹They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.

⁴¹Huchiin, vaihawmte laka kipan a pawtkhia ua, tua Min jiaka daina thuak taka seh ahihjiak un a kipak mahmah uhi.Huan, nitengin Pathian biakin ah leh amau in khawng bangah, Jesu tuh Kris ahi, chiin, thuhilh leh gen a tawp tuan kei uhi.

⁴²And every day, in the temple and at home, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus [as] the Christ.

⁴²Huan, nitengin Pathian biakin ah leh amau in khawng bangah, Jesu tuh Kris ahi, chiin, thuhilh leh gen a tawp tuan kei uhi.
