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.

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

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

²And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

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

³As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

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

⁴Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.

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

⁵Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

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

⁶And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

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.

⁷For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

⁸Huchiin tua khopi ah nakpitaka kipahna a om hi.

⁸And there was great joy in that city.

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.

⁹But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

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

¹⁰To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

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

¹¹And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

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

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

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.

¹³Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

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;

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

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

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

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

¹⁶(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

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

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

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

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

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.

¹⁹Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

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

²⁰But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

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

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

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

²²Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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,

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

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

²⁸Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

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

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

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.

³⁰And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

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

³¹And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

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;

³²The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

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.

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

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.

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

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

³⁵Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

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.

³⁶And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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