¹But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

¹Saulain bel Toupa nungjuite a vau thu leh thah a tup thu a se khe nalailai hi.

²and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

²Siampu Lianpen kiangah a hoha, Damaska khua a kikhopna in tengtenga mite kianga piak dingin lai a ngena, Lama mi kuapeuh a muh leh, numei leng, pasal leng, Jerusalem khuaa hensa a a honpi theihna dingin.

³And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:

³Huan, a pai lain, Damaska khua a tun kuanin, thakhatin van akipan vak a kimah a hongvak puapa.

⁴and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁴Huan, lei ah a puka a kiangah, Saula, Saula, Bangachia nang honsawi na hia? Chiin, aw a ja a.

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:

⁵Huan, aman, Toupa, kua na hia? a chi a. Huan, Toupan, Jesu, na sawi ka hi;

⁶but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁶himahleh, thou inla, khopi ah lut in, huchiin na hihding hilhin na om ding hi, a chi a.

⁷And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.

⁷Huan, a kianga paite pau theihloin a ding ua, aw jaw a zana ua, himahleh kuamah a mu kei uhi.

⁸And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁸Huan, lei akipanin Saula a thou a; huan, a honghaka bangmah a mu theita keia; huchiin a khutin a kai ua, Damaska khua ah apilut uh hi.

⁹And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.

⁹Huan, ni thum kho mu louin a oma, bangmah a dawnin a ne kei hi.

¹⁰Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.

¹⁰Huan, Damaska khua ah a min Anania nungjui khat a om. Huan, Toupan mengmu bangin a kiangah, Anania, a chi a.

¹¹And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;

¹¹Huan, aman, En in, Toupa, hiaiah ka om, a chi a. Huan, Toupan a kiangah, Thou inla, kongzing Tang a chih uah hoh inla, Juda in ah, Tarsa khuaa mi, a min Suala, kankhia in;

¹²and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.

¹²ngaiin, a thum laitak ahi; a min Anania mi khat luta, a mit hihvak dingin a tungah khut koihin a muta hi, a chi a.

¹³But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:

¹³Huan, Ananiain, Toupa huai mi Jerusalem khua a na mi siangthoute tunga a tatsiat thu mi tampi kam ah ka ja a.

¹⁴and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.

¹⁴Huan, hiaiah leng na min lou peuhmah henna dingin siampu lalte kianga kipanin thu a mu a, a chi a, a dawng a.

¹⁵But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:

¹⁵Himahleh, Toupan a kiangah, Hoh mai in; Jentelte, kumpipate, Israel suante kianga ka min puaklutna dia ka bel-she ahi;

¹⁶for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.

¹⁶Ka min jiakin gimna bangchia thupi ahia a thuak ding a kiangah ka theisak ding ahi, a chi a.

¹⁷And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Huan, Anania tuh avahoha, in ah a luta, huan, a tungah a khut a koiha, Unau Saula, na mit vakna ding leh, Kha Siangthou dima na om theihna dingin, Toupa, na hongna lampia na kianga kilak Jesuin, a honsawl ahi, a chi a.

¹⁸And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;

¹⁸Huan, thakhatin a mit akipan lip bang a keta a, a mit a vak nawnta hi; huan, a thou a, baptisma a tangta hi.

¹⁹and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.

¹⁹Huan, an a ne a, a halhta hi. Huan, Damaska khuaa nungjui omte kiangah ni bangjah hiam khawng a oma.

²⁰And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

²⁰Kikhopna in khawngah Jesu tuh Pathian Tapa a hihdan thu a tangkoupih pah ngala.

²¹And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.

²¹Huan, a thu zate tengtengin lamdang a sa mahmah ua, Hiai mi Jerusalem khua ahiai min loute sawi jelpa ahi ka hia? Huai mite siampu lalte kianga hensa a pi, a hongna pen ahi, a chi ua.

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

²²Saula bel a honghat diaka, huai mi tuh Kris ahi taktak chih a hilhchiana, Damaska khuaa Juda omte khawng gending beiin a koih hilhial hi.

²³And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:

²³Huan, ni sawttak nungin Saula hihlum dingin Judate a kihou ua;

²⁴but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:

²⁴Himahleh, aman a thutup uh a na theia. Huan, hihlum dingin kulh kong tengah a sun a janin a tang uh.

²⁵but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

²⁵Himahleh, a nungzuiten amah a pi ua, janin kulh tohlet ah bawmin a khaikheta uhi.

²⁶And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

²⁶Huan, Saula Jerusalem khua a tun takin nungjuite kithuahpih a tuma; amau bel avek un amah a kihta uhi, nungjui a hih sam a ging kei uh.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

²⁷Barnabain amah a pi a, sawltakte kiangah a honpaipiha, lampia Toupa a muha, a houpihdan bang, Damaska khua a Jesu mina hangtaka thu a hilh dan bang leng a kiang uah a genta a.

²⁸And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,

²⁸Huchiin, Saula tuh Jerusalem khua ah a kiang uah lut jel pawt jelin a omta hi, Toupa minin hangtakin thu a gen jel a.

²⁹preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.

²⁹Huan Grik-Judate kiangah thu a gena, a sela; amau bel amah hihlup a tum uhi.

³⁰And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³⁰Huan, unauten huai a theih tak un, Kaisari khua ah a pi suk ua, Tarsa khua ah a sawl mangta uh.

³¹So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.

³¹Huchiin, saptuamte tuh Judia gam kimah, Galili gam kimah, Samari gam kimah a kip deuhdeuh ua, muangtakin a omta uhi; huan, Toupa laudan siamin, Kha Siangthou khamuanin, a om ua, a hongpung deuhdeuh uhi.

³²And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.

³²Huan, Peterin khokim a tot vialvial kawmin, Lidda khua a mi siangthou omte kiangah leng a hoh suk a.

³³And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.

³³Huaiah mi khat a min Ainisi a jawt jiaka kum giat lupna a lum nilouh a mu a.

³⁴And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.

³⁴Huan Peterin a kiangah, Ainisi aw, Jesu Krisin a honhihdam, thou inla, na awngphah jial in, a chi a. Huchiin, a thou pahta ngala.

³⁵And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

³⁵Huan, Lidda khua leh Saron phaia omte tengtengin Ainisi a mu ua, Toupa lam a nga duam uhi.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

³⁶Huan, Joppa khua ah a min Tabitha nungjui khat a oma, (Tabitha omdan tuh Dorka ahi); huai numeiin thilhih hoih leh thilpiak a hau mahmah hi.

³⁷And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.

³⁷Huan, huai lain, a chi a na a, a sita a; huan, a silsiang ua, indan tungnung ah a lumsak ua.

³⁸And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.

³⁸Huan, Lidda khua tuh Joppa khokiang ahihjiakin, nungjuiten Peter huaiah a om chih a ja ua, sawt hal louin ka kiang uah hongpai in, chia vathum dingin a kiangah mi nih a sawl ua.

³⁹And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

³⁹Huan, Peter a thou a, a kiang uah a paita hi. Huan, a tun takin indan tungnung ah a pi ua; meithai tengteng dingin Dorka a kiang ua a om laia a puannak bawlte a puan bawlte lak kawmin a kap chiat ua.

⁴⁰But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴⁰Himahleh, Peterin a vek un a pawtsaka, a khukdina, a thumta hi; huan, luang lam a nga a, Tabitha, thou in, a chi a. Huchiin, a mit a honghaka, Peter a muh takin a tu touta a.

⁴¹And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁴¹Huan, Peterin a khut a pia a, a kaithouta a; huan, mi siangthoute leh meithaite a sama, damin a peta hi.

⁴²And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.

⁴²Huan, huai tuh Joppa khua tengtengin a thei vek ua; mi tampiin Toupa a gingta uh.Huan, Joppa khuaah savun bawlpa Simon in ah ni tampi tak Peter a tam nilouh a.

⁴³And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

⁴³Huan, Joppa khuaah savun bawlpa Simon in ah ni tampi tak Peter a tam nilouh a.
