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;

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

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

²and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

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

³But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

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.

⁴While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

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

⁵Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

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

⁶The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

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

⁷About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

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.

⁸Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

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.

⁹But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

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.

¹⁰She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

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

¹¹Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

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.

¹²By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

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

¹³None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.

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

¹⁴More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

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.

¹⁵They even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

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

¹⁶Multitudes also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰“Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”

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.

²¹When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

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

²²But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

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.

²³“We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

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.

²⁴Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.

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.

²⁵One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”

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.

²⁶Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

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

²⁷When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

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.

²⁸saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

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

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

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

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

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

³¹God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

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.

³²We are His witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

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

³³But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and determined to kill them.

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.

³⁴But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

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

³⁵He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

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.

³⁶For before these days Theudas rose up, making 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 nothing.

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.

³⁷After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

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;

³⁸Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

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

³⁹But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

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.

⁴⁰They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

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.

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

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

⁴²Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
