1 Amate in mipi tung ah thu a hil uh laitak in, thiampi te, biakinn lampui te le Sadducee te amate kung ah hongpai uh hi,

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

2 Sawltak te in mipi te thuhil a, Jesus tungtawn in thina pan thawkikna thu a pualak uh hu in, amate thinna in om tek uh hi.

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

3 Taciang amate in sawltak te man uh a, a zingciang dong thongtaksak uh hi: banghangziam cile tu in khua niam zo hi.

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

4 Ahihang a thuhilna a za te in um uh hi; a umte a mimal in tul nga kiim pha uh hi.

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

5 A zingciang in amate i lampui te, upa te le thukhamhil te,

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

6 Taciang thiampi sang Annas le Caiaphas, John le Alexander, taciang thiampi sang i mealheak te theampo taw Jerusalem ah ki kaikhawm tek uh hi.

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

7 Amate a laizang ah dingsak uh a, bang thuneina, a hibale akua min taw in hibang te vawt nu ziam? ci dong hi.

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

8 Tua zawkciang in Peter sia Thaa Thiangtho taw kidim a, amate tung ah, no mipi lampui te le Israel upa te,

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,

9 Tuni in hi cina pa tung ah napha vawtsak na le banghang in dam, ci thu taw kisai in thu hong dong nahi uh le;

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

10 No teng theampo le Israel mi theampo in he tavun, thinglamte tung ah na khai uh a, Pathian in thina pan a thawkiksak Nazareth mi Jesus Christ min taw, note mai ah a ding pa sia dam hi.

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

11 Noma inn sate in na nil uh hi suangtum sia inn khuampi suak hi.

This one is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.

12 Ngupna sia mundang ah om ngawl hi; banghangziam cile ngupna i nga thei natu in vantung leinuai ah mindang a kipia om ngawl hi, ci hi.

And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved."

13 Amate in Peter le John te hangsanna a mu uh ciang in, lai he ngawl le pilna nei ngawl te, ci he uh a, lamdangsa mama uh hi; taciang amate sia Jesus taw omkhawm ngei hi, ci zong he kik uh hi.

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

14 Taciang a damsak pa sia amate taw a dingkhawm nginge a mu uh hu in, tua thu langpan in bangma zong a pau thei bua uh hi.

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

15 Amate a thuhil na mun pan pusuak tu thu a piak zawk uh ciang in amate bek thu kikum khawm uh a,

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

16 Hite sia banglaw tu hi ziam? banghangziam cile amate in a cepte tak nalamdang te vawt uh a, Jerusalem ah a om mi theampo mai ah vawt uh hi; taciang hi thu sia i nial thei bua hi.

saying, "What should we do with 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 cannot deny it.

17 Ahihang hi thu sia mite sung ah kizel seseam ngawl tu in ahizong, kuama tung ah hi min taw thuhil ngawl tu ahizong, nasiatak in lauthawn tawng, ci uh hi.

But so this does not spread any further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name."

18 Taciang amate sam uh a, Jesus min taw thuhil ngawlhet tu le son nawn ngawl tu in thupia uh hi.

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

19 Ahihang Peter le John in, Pathian thu sang in note i thu man tu sia Pathian mai ah a pha le a pha ngawl noma in khensat vun.

But 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,

20 Banghangziam cile ka mu uh thu le ka zak uh thu te son ngawl in ka om thei bua uh hi, ci in zo uh hi.

for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard."

21 Tua ahikom amate in a lauthot zawk uh ciang in, bangbang in danpia tu ci a heak ngawl uh hu in suatak uh hi, banghangziam cile mi theampo in hi a sep uh te hang in Pathian minthang pok tek uh hi.

When 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.

22 Banghangziam cile damna nalamdang a tung ah kilangpa sia kum sawm li val zo hi.

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

23 A suatak zawk uh ciang, amate sia a lawmte kung ah pai uh a, thiampi lian te le upa te in amate tung ah a son theampo sonkik uh hi.

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

24 Tua thu amate in a zak uh ciang in, thinkhat lung khat in Pathian kung ah au tek uh a, Topa awng, Nangma sia van le lei, tuipi le a sung om theampo a vawt Pathian na hihi:

When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "Lord, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them.

25 Na naseam David tungtawn a son thu, banghang in Gentile mite thin-uk ziam, taciang mihing te banghang in matlap ngawl thu te ngaisun uh ziam?

You said through the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant: 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?

26 Leitung kumpi te ding uh a, taciang ngam uk te zong ki kaikhawm in Topa le Christ langpan uh hi.

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.'

27 Banghangziam cile sathau na buaksa Nangma i a thiangtho nauno Jesus sia Herod le Pontius Pilate, Gentile mite le Israel mite taw, ki kaikhawm tek in, nasiatak in langpan uh hi,

"For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews and the people of Israel, were gathered together

28 Banghangziam cile na khut taw na vawt tu te le na khensatsa ngaisutna te na khuangkhim natu a hihi.

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

29 Tu in Topa awng, amate i hong lauthot nate en in: na sal te tung ah na thuhil tu in hangsanna hongpia tan,

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

30 Na nauno thiangtho Jesus min taw cina te damsak tu le musakna te le nalamdang te vawt tu in na ban hong phal ta in, ci in thungen khawm uh hi.

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

31 Amate thu a nget zawk uh ciang in, a kikhopna mun ling hi; taciang amate sia Tha Thiangtho taw kidim uh a, Pathian thu hangsantak in son uh hi.

When 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.

32 Taciang thu um mihonpi te sia thinkhat lungkhat taw in omkhawm tek uh hi: kuama in a neisa te uh keima a hi, ci ngawl uh hi; ahihang amate neisa na theampo neikhawm tek uh hi.

And the full number 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.

33 Topa Jesus thawkikna thu sia sawltak te in vangletna lianpi taw tettipang uh a: amate tung ah hesuakna lianpi om hi.

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

34 Amate sung ah a ki tangsam khat zong a om bua uh hi: banghangziam cile lo ngam te, a hibale inn nei te in zuak uh hi, taciang a sum nga uh teng keng uh a,

For 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,

35 Sawltak te peang ah koi tek uh hi: taciang khatsim i kisapna bang in hawm uh hi.

and put them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

36 Taciang Joses, sawltak te in Barnabas a ci uh, Barnabas i a khiakna sia, henepna tapa a kici pa, ama sia Levi minam hi a, Cyprus ngam mi a hihi,

Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus by birth,
