¹As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

¹Huan, Peter leh Johanin mite kianga thu a gen lai un, siampute, biakin heutute leh Saddukaihon a kiang uah a hongtung guih ua,

²being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

²mi a hilh uh leh Jesu jiaka misi laka kipan thohnawnna thu a hilh jiak un a lungkimkei hial ua.

³They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

³Huan, a man ua, nitaklam a hih jiakin a jing phain suangkulh ah a khumta uh.

⁴But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

⁴Himahleh, thu ngaikhete akhen tampiten a ging ua; a tamlam uh tuh piching ngen leng sang nga khawng a ching uh hi.

⁵It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

⁵Huan, a jingin a heutute uh, upate, laigelhmite,

⁶Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

⁶siampu lianpen Ana te, Kaiapha te, Johan te, Aleksandar te, Siampu Lianpen chia tengtengte leng Jerusalem khua ah a om khawm ua.

⁷When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

⁷Huan, Peter leh Johan a laiah a dingsak ua, Bang hihtheih nain ahia kua minin ahia hiai khawng na hih uh? a chi ua, a dong ua.

⁸Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

⁸Huchiin, Peter Kha Siangthouin a dima, a kiang uah, Mi tengteng heutute aw, upate aw,

⁹if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

⁹mi hatlou hihhoih thu ah, Hiai mi bangjiakin ahia a hongdam tak? chiin tuniin na honsalh u leh, nou tengtengin thei un,

¹⁰be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.

¹⁰Israel mi tengtengin leng thei heh, kros a Nazaret Jesu Kris na kilhden uh, Pathianin misi lak apanin a kaithou nawna, amah min ngeiin hiai mi hiaiah na ma uah damin a dingta ahi.

¹¹He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’ Psalm 118:22

¹¹Nou in lamte aw, na suang paih uh, a ninga, suang phatuampen a honghita, amah ahi.

¹²There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”

¹²Mi dang kuamah kiangah hotdamna a om kei, van nuaia, mihing sak lakah, hon hondam ding min dang himhim a om kei, a chi a.

¹³Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

¹³Huan, Peter leh Johan hansandan a muh un, laisiamlou mi leh namtom maimai ahi uh chih a theih un, lamdang a sa mahmah ua; Jesu kiangah a om khin uh chih a theita uhi.

¹⁴Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

¹⁴Huan, mi a hihdam uh a kiang ua ding a muh un, bangmah a gense thei tuankei uhi.

¹⁵But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

¹⁵Huchiin, a vaihawmna ua pata a pai tuam sak nungun, a kihou ua,

¹⁶saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

¹⁶Hiai mite bangchiin i hih dia? Thillamdang minthang a hih uh Jerusalem khua a om tengtengin tel takin a theita uh; en leng i sel thei tuan kei hi.

¹⁷But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

¹⁷Himahleh, mi kianga a than semsem louhna ding un tunung siah kuamah kiangah hiai mina thu a gen louhna ding un I vau ding uh, a chi ua.

¹⁸They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

¹⁸Huchiin, amau a sam ua, Jesu mina thugen hetlouh ding leh hilh hetlouh ding, a chi chiltel ua.

¹⁹But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

¹⁹Himahleh, Peter leh Johanin, a kiang uah, Pathian mitmuhin Pathian thu man sangin noumau thu man a dik jaw hia ngaihtuah un.

²⁰for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

²⁰Kou jaw ka thil muh uh leh ka jakte uh gen louin ka om theikei uh, a chi ua.

²¹When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

²¹Huan, amau tuh a vau semsem ua, a khahta uh, mipi jiakin gawtna lemtang a mu kei uhi; a thilhih jiak un mi tengtengin Pathian a pahtawi ngal ua.

²²For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.

²²Thil lamdanga a hihdam uh kum sawmli sanga tamjaw hial ahi ngala.

²³Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

²³Huan, Peter leh Johan a pawt un amau lawmte kiangah a vahoh ua, siampu lalte leh upaten a kiang ua a gen peuh uh a hilh vek ua.

²⁴When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

²⁴Huchiin, a ngaikheten a kituakin aw ngaihtakin Pathian kiangah, Toupa, nang tuh van te, lei te, tuipi te, a sunga omte tengteng Bawlpa na hi;

²⁵who by the mouth of your servant, David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

²⁵Nang Kha siangthouin, ka pu uh na sikha David kamin, hiai thu na gen ahi: Jentelte bangchin eita a heh uh? Nam chihin bangchin ahia thil phatuam lou a ngaihtuah uh?

²⁶The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ Christ (Greek) and Messiah (Hebrew) both mean Anointed One. .’ Psalm 2:1-2

²⁶Khovel kumpipate a ding ua, heutute leng a kikhawm ua, Toupa leh a Kris kalhin, chiin.

²⁷“For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

²⁷Hiai khua ah na Sikha Siangthou, na thaunilh Jesu tungah, Herod leh Pontia Pilat toh, Jentelte leh Israel mite toh a kikhawmta uhi.

²⁸to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.

²⁸Na khut leh na lungsima hongtung dinga na sehkholh peuh hih dingin.

²⁹Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

²⁹Huchiin, tunah, Toupa, a honvau dan uh ngaiin; na sikhate kiangah na thu hangsantaka gen theihna pia in,

³⁰while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”

³⁰damsak dinga na khut na jaka, na sikha Jesu mina chiamtehnate leh thillamdangte hih a hih laiin, a chi ua.

³¹When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

³¹Huan, a thum khit un a omkhawmna uh a honglinga, a vek un Kha Siangthouin a hongdim ua, hangtakin Pathian thu a hilhta uh.

³²The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

³²Huan, a gingta mipite lungsim munkhat leh ngaihtuah munkhatin a om ua: a lak ua khatin leng a sumneih, keia tuam ahi, a chi kei; thil tengteng a kikop zo jel uhi.

³³With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

³³Huan, sawltakten thilhihtheihna thupi takin Toupa Jesu thohnawn thu a hilhhilh ua; a vek ua tungah hehpihna thupitak a om hi.

³⁴For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

³⁴Huan, a lak uah leng tasam kuamah a om kei uh; gam khawng, in khawng nei peuhin a juak ua, a thil khotte uh a man a hontawi ua, sawltakte khe bul ah a koih jel uh;

³⁵and laid them at the apostles’ feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

³⁵a deihdong ching hun chiatin a hawm chiat jel uhi.

³⁶Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

³⁶Huan, Joseph, sawltakten Barnaba a chih uh, (huai min omdan, Khamuanna Ta chihna ahi) Levi chi.Kupra tuikulh mi ahi a, a gam neih a juaka, a man a hontawia, sawltakte khe bulah a koihta.

³⁷having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
