¹And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

¹Huan, huai niin Jerusalem khua a saptuam omte khawng, min nak pitakin a sawi panta ua; huchiin, sawltakte kia loungal Judia leh Samari gam kho tengah a dalhjakta vek uhi.

²And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

²Huan, Pathian limsak kuate hiamin Stephen a vui ua, nakpi takin a kah uh.

³But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.

³Saulain bel saptuam pawlte a sawia, in tengah a luta, numei pasal a kaikhia a, suangkulh ah a khum hi.

⁴They therefore that were scattered abroad, went about preaching the word.

⁴Huan, a dalhjakte kho teng ah a paita ua, thu tuh a gen jel uh.

⁵And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ.

⁵Huan, Samari khua ah Philip a hohsuk a, a kiang uah Kris thu a tangkoupih hi.

⁶And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.

⁶Huan, a thillamdang hihte a jak ua, a muh un, mipiten lungsim mun khatin, Philip thugente a limsakta uhi.

⁷For [from] many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed.

⁷Banghanghiam i chih leh, dawininte mi tampi a matte sung ua kipanin aw ngaihtaka kikou in a pawt ua; jaw leh khebai tampi hihdamin a om uhi.

⁸And there was much joy in that city.

⁸Huchiin tua khopi ah nakpitaka kipahna a om hi.

⁹But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

⁹Huan, mi khat a min Simon a oma; aman, Mi lian ka hi, chiin, tumalamin huai khua ah mitkhialdawiin Samari khuaa mite lamdang sa takin a bawl nilouhlouha.

¹⁰to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great.

¹⁰Mi tengtengin, tagahpen akipan lalpen tanin, Hiai mi Pathian thilhihtheihna thupi a chih uh, ahi tham, chiin, a thu a limsak chiat ua.

¹¹And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.

¹¹A mitkhialdawiin sawtpi lamdang sa taka a bawl nak jiakin a thu a limsak uhi.

¹²But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

¹²Himahleh, amau tuh Pathian gam tanchin hoih leh Jesu Kris min tanchin hoih Philip gen a gintak un, anumei apasalin baptisma a tangta ua.

¹³And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed.

¹³Huan, Simon nangawnin leng a gingtata a, huan, baptisma a tan zohin Philip kiangah a omgige a, chiamtehna leh thillamdang thuipite a mu a, lamdang a sa thei mahmah.

¹⁴Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

¹⁴Huan, sawltak Jerusalem khuaa omten Samari khuaa miten Pathian Thu a gingta ta uh chih a jak un, a kiang uah Peter leh Johan a sawl ua;

¹⁵who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:

¹⁵huai mite tuh a vatun suk uleh Kha Siangthou a muh theihna ding un a thumsak ua.

¹⁶for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁶Huai main a lak uah kuamah tungah a tung nai kei; Toupa minin baptisma a tang phet uh ahi.

¹⁷Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Huan, sawltakten a tunguah a khut uh a koih ua, Kha Siangthou a muta uhi.

¹⁸Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

¹⁸Huan, sawltakte khut koih jiaka Kha Siangthou piak ahi chih Simonin a muhin.

¹⁹saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹Hichibang thuneihna honpe sam un, kua tung peuh aleng khut ka koihnain Kha Siangthou a muh samna dingin, chiin, a kiang uah dangka piak a tum hi.

²⁰But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.

²⁰Himahleh Peterin a kiangah, Na dangka nang toh mang heh, Pathian thilpiak dangka suma lei na tup jiakin.

²¹Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.

²¹Hiai thu ah nang jaw na pang kei, tan leng na neikei hi; na lungtang Pathian ngaihin a dikkei ahi.

²²Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee.

²²Huaijiakin, hiai na gitlouhna tawp san inla, Toupa kiangah thumin, huchiin na lungtanga na ngaihtuah a honngaidam kha moh ding hiam.

²³For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.

²³Thil khakna sinkha ah leh gitlouh gaklopna ah na om chih ka thei hi, a chi a.

²⁴And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me.

²⁴Huan, Simonin, Na thil gen uh bangmah ka tunga hongtun louhna dingin noumauin Toupa kiangah honthumsak un, a chi a, a dawnga.

²⁵They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

²⁵Huchiin, amau Toupa thu a theihsak ua, a gen zoh nung un. Samari gama mite kho tampi kianga Tanchin Hoih a gen jel in, Jerusalem khua ah a pai nawn uh hi.

²⁶But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.

²⁶Huan, Toupa angel khatin Philip a houpiha, Thou inla, simlama Jerusalem khua akipana Gaza kho sunsuk lampi huai gamdai ah hoh in, a chi a.

²⁷And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;

²⁷Huchiin, a thou a, a paita. Huan, ngaiin, Ethiopia gama mi khat, Ethiopia kumpipa Kanda nuaia mi chilgeh laltak, a gou tengteng kempa, Jerusalem khua ah Pathian be dingin a hoh tou a,

²⁸and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

²⁸a pai lamin a kangtalaia tu kawmin jawlnei Isai laibu a simsim hi.

²⁹And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

²⁹Huan, Khain, Philip kiangah, Huai kangtalai vanaih inla, vakithuahpih in, a chi a.

³⁰And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

³⁰Huan, Philip tuh mi chilgeh kiangah a vataia, jawlnei Isai laibu a sim a ja a, Na sim a omdan na thei hia? a chi a.

³¹And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.

³¹Huan, aman, Kuamah honhilhchet louhin bangchin ka thei dia? a chi a. Huan, a kianga tu paisuak dingin Philip tuh achialta a.

³²Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

³²Huan, laisiangthou a sim lai tuh hiai ahi: Gohding belam bangin amah a pi ua; Belamnou a mulmetpa ma a a daidinden bangin aman leng a kam a ka kei;

³³In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.

³³A vuallelh laiin a tungah thu gen a phal kei uh; a suante tanchin kuan a hongen ding ua? khovel akipanin a hinna a laksak ngal ua, chiin.

³⁴And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?

³⁴Huan, mi chilgehin, Philip a houpiha, a kiangah, Jawlneiin hiai thu khawng kua thu a genna ahia, amah thu hia, midang thu? ka hondong ahi, a chi a.

³⁵And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

³⁵Huan, Philipin a gena, huai laisiangthou thu abul ah panin, a kiangah Jesu thu a hilh a.

³⁶And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

³⁶Huan, lampia a pai kawm un tui banghiam a tung ua; huan, mi chilgeh in, Endih, hiaiah tui a om, baptisma tanna ding bangin a hondal khola ahia? a chi a.

³⁷[And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.]

³⁷Huan, Philipin, Na lungtang tengtenga na gintak leh, na hi thei, a chi a. Huan, amah a dawnga, Jesu Kris tuh Pathian Tapa ahi chih ka gingta, a chi a.

³⁸And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

³⁸Huan, kangtalai a khawlsak ua, a nih un, Philip leh mi chilgeh, tui ah a hoh khawm suk ua; huan, Philipin amah a baptista hi.

³⁹And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.

³⁹Huan, tui apat a pai touh tak un Toupa Khain Philip tuh a la mangta hi; huan, mi chilgehin amah a mu nawnta kei, nuamsa takin a paita jel hi.Himahleh, Philip tuh Azota khua ah muhin a om nawnta hi; huan, a pai suak a, Kaisaria khua a tun masiah kho tengah Tanchin Hoih a gen jeljel hi.

⁴⁰But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

⁴⁰Himahleh, Philip tuh Azota khua ah muhin a om nawnta hi; huan, a pai suak a, Kaisaria khua a tun masiah kho tengah Tanchin Hoih a gen jeljel hi.
