¹Theophil, tumaa lai ah, Jesu thilhih leh a thuhilh pattung tengteng thu ka gelh ahi;

¹The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

²Kha Siangthou panpiha a sawltak telte kianga thu achiam khita vana pi touha a om ni tana thu.

²Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

³Huai sawltakte kiangah gimna a thuak nungin theihna juaulou tampiin a kimusaka, ni sawmli hial a kiang uah a kilaka, Pathian gam thu a gen gen hi.

³To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

⁴Huan, a om khawm uh a kithuahpih sama, Jerusalem khua paisan kei un, Pa thilchiam ka gen na jak uh na ngak un, a chi chiltela.

⁴And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

⁵Johanin tuiin a baptis jela, himahleh, ni sawt lou chikin Kha Siangthoua baptisin na om ding uh, a chi a.

⁵For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

⁶Huan, amau, a hongkikhop un, a kiangah, Toupa, tuin hia Israelte kianga gam na piak nawn ding? a chi ua, a dong uh.

⁶When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

⁷Huan, aman, a kiang uah, Pain a hun leh a ni amah thuthu a om dia a seh, nou na theih ding ahi kei.

⁷And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

⁸Abangabang hileh, Kha Siangthou na tung ua a hongtun chiangin thilhihtheihna na nei ding uh; huchiin, Jerusalem khua khawngah, Judia leh Samari gam khua tengah, kawlmong phain leng ka thu theihpihte na hi ding uh, a chi a.

⁸But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

⁹Huan, huai thu a gen khitin a muh laipi un, vana pi touhin a oma, huan, meiin a muh phak louh uah a pi touta hi.

⁹And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

¹⁰Huan, a pai touh laia vanlam a et nilouh lai un, ngai in, mi nih, puan ngou silhin, a kiang uah a hongding ua;

¹⁰And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

¹¹huai miten, Galili gama mite aw, bangdia vanlam en a ding? Hiai Jesu na kiang ua kipana vana pi touha om, vana a pai tou na muh mahbang un amah mah a hongkik nawn ding, a chi ua.

¹¹Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

¹²Huan, Olive tang a chih ua kipat Jerusalem khua ah a kik nawnta uh hi; huai tang tuh Jerusalem kho kiang ahi a, Khawlni a hohna hun lel ahi.

¹²Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

¹³Huan, a lut un, a omna dantan tungnung uah a paitou ua- Peter leh Johan toh, Jakob leh Andru toh, Philip leh Thoma toh Bartholomai leh Matthai toh, Alphai tapa Jakob leh, Simon Zelot Pawla leh, Jakob tapa Juda toh ahi uh.

¹³And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

¹⁴Huaite tengteng numei kuate hiam leh Jesu nu Mari toh, Jesu unaute toh, lungsim munkhata, phatuamngai taka thumin a om nilouh ua.

¹⁴These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

¹⁵Huan, huai niin unaute lakah Peter a ding a (a vek un ja leh sawmnih khawng ahi uh, )

¹⁵And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

¹⁶Unaute aw, Kha Siangthouin, David kama, Jesu mante makai Juda thu a genkholh laisiangthou thu a hong tung ding him ahi a.

¹⁶Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.

¹⁷Amah jaw i laka simtel ahi a, hiai nasepna ah tan leng a nei sam ngala.

¹⁷For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.

¹⁸(Huan, huai miin a khelhna manin mun khat a leia, a khupin a kia a, a laiah a a puakkhama, a gil tengteng a pawt vek a.

¹⁸Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

¹⁹Huan, huai thu tuh Jerusalem khua a omte tengtengin a naja ua; huchiin, huai mun tuh, amau pauin, Akeldama, a chi ua, huai tuh, Sisan Mun, chihna ahi.

¹⁹And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.

²⁰Sam bu ah hiai thu gelh ahi. A omna hihgamin om heh, a sungah kuamah om kei heh, chih leh, A heutu hihna mi dangin tang heh, chih.

²⁰For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

²¹Huchiin, Toupa Jesu i lak ua lut jel pawt jela a om sung tenga

²¹Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

²²Johan baptisma nung siah, i lak ua kipan vana pi touha a om ni tan-hiai honkithuahpihpihte laka mi khat a thohnawnna hontheihpih dingin a om ding ahi, a chi a.

²²Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.

²³Huan, mi nih a sepkhia ua, khat tuh Joseph Barsaba a chih uh, (a min dang Justa a chih uh) huan khat tuh Mathia ahi.

²³And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

²⁴Huan, a thum ua, Nang Toupa, mihing tengteng lungtang thei, hiai nihte akua jaw ahia na tel honhilhin,

²⁴And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

²⁵Judain amah omna apai dingin hiai nasepna leh sawltakna a kiaksan a sika dingin, a chi ua.Huan, ai a sansak ua, a aisan u tuh Mathia tungah a tu a; huchiin, amah sawltak sawmlekhatte laka sim tel a hita.

²⁵That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

²⁶Huan, ai a sansak ua, a aisan u tuh Mathia tungah a tu a; huchiin, amah sawltak sawmlekhatte laka sim tel a hita.

²⁶And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
