Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

A certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.
3 Anih loh doedannah dang hamla a bih te bawkim khuila kun ham a cai rhoi vaengah Peter neh Johan loh a hmuh.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
4 Tedae anih te Peter neh Johan loh a hmaitang tih, “Kaimih rhoi he n'so lah,” a ti nah.
Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, “Look at us.”
5 Te dongah amih taengkah khat khat dang hamla a lamtawn tih amih te a laehdawn.
He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Te vaengah Peter loh, “Tangka neh sui khaw ka khueh moenih. Tedae nang kam paek ham te he ni ka khueh. Nazareth Jesuh Khrih ming neh thoo lamtah cet laeh,” a ti nah.
But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”
7 Te phoeiah bantang kut neh a tuuk tih anih te a thoh hatah a kho neh a khocin khaw pahoi caang.
He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
8 Te dongah cungpet tih, pai tih cet. Te phoeiah amih neh bawkim khuila kun tih a caeh doela soi tih Pathen a thangthen.
Leaping up, he stood and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.

All the people saw him walking and praising God.
10 anih te bawkim kah sawtthen thohka ah doedannah lamtawn ham aka ngol ni tila a ming uh. Te dongah anih soah aka thoeng te ngaihmangnah neh mueimang bangla om uh.
They recognised him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Te vaengah anih loh Peter neh Johan te a tuuk. Pilnam boeih loh Solomon impup la a khue kah amih taengah pawk ha capit uh.
As the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.

When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, “You men of Israel, why do you marvel at this man? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him walk?
13 Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen, Jakob Pathen, a pa rhoek kah Pathen loh a ca Jesuh te a thangpom coeng. Anih te Pilat mikhmuh ah na voeih uh tih hlah hamla lai a tloek lalah na aal uh.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 Tedae nangmih loh hlang cim hlang dueng te na hnawt uh tih hlang aka ngawn hlang vik te khodawkngai ham na bih uh.
But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,
15 Te dongah hingnah a rhuihnun ni na ngawn uh. Tedae anih te Pathen loh duek khui lamkah a thoh coeng dongah a laipai la ka om uh.
and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, to which we are witnesses.
16 A ming neh tangnah dongah aka hoeih te na hmuh uh coeng. Te dongah a ming loh a hoeih sak te ming uh. Amah lamkah tangnah loh anih he nangmih boeih hmaiah hing soepnah a paek.
By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 Tedae manuca rhoek, na boei rhoek bangla kotalhnah neh kho na boe bal te ka ming coeng.
“Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.
18 Tedae Pathen loh tonghma boeih kah ka neh a thui taengtae amah kah Khrih a patang ham te ni aka soep tangloeng coeng.
But the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
19 Te dongah yut uh lamtah ha mael uh laeh. Te daengah ni na tholhnah te hang huih eh.
“Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord,
20 Boeipa mikhmuh kah caihnah tue loh ha pai van saeh tila Khrih Jesuh te nangmih ham a coelh tih han tueih coeng.
and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before,
21 Khosuen lamloh a tonghma rhoek, hlangcim rhoek kah a ka dongah Pathen loh a thui boeih te hlinsainah tue a pha duela vaan loh anih a doe ham a kuek. (aiōn g165)
whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses long khaw, ‘Kai bang tonghma te Boeipa na Pathen loh na manuca khui lamkah nangmih ham a phoe sak bitni. Anih loh nangmih taengah a thui atah a thui te tah a pum la hnatun uh.
For Moses indeed said to the fathers, ‘The Lord God will raise up a prophet for you from amongst your brothers, like me. You shall listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.
23 Ana om saeh, te tonghma ol aka ya pawh hinglu boeih te tah pilnam lamloh a thup ni,’ a ti.”
It will be that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from amongst the people.’
24 “Te dongah Samuel lamloh tonghma rhoek boeih neh a hnukthoi boeih long khaw a thui tih tihnin ah a doek uh.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel and those who followed after, as many as have spoken, also told of these days.
25 Nangmih tah tonghma rhoek neh paipi kah a ca rhoek la na om uh. Te te Pathen loh na pa rhoek taengah a hal coeng. Te dongah Abraham te, ‘Na tiingan dongah diklai nurhui parhui boeih te a yoethen ni,’ a ti nah.
You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘All the families of the earth will be blessed through your offspring.’
26 Na halangnah te rhip na mael tak tih nangmih yoethen sak ham ni Pathen loh a ca te nangmih taengah lamhma la han tueih tih a thoh sak,” a ti nah.
God, having raised up his servant Jesus, sent him to you first to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your wickedness.”
