Acts 4
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
Nihnik mah kaminawk khaeah lokthuih hoi li naah, qaimanawk, tempul thungah toksah kaminawk hoi Sadusinawk nihcae khaeah angzoh o,
2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
patoeh ih kami hnik mah kaminawk to patuk hoi moe, duekhaih thung hoi kangthawk let Jesu kawng to thuih hoi pongah, nihcae loe palungphui o.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
Nihcae mah patoeh ih kami hnik to naeh o, niduem boeh pongah, nihnik to khawnbang karoek to thongim pakhrak o.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
To tiah oh langlacadoeh, lok thaih pop parai kaminawk mah tanghaih to tawnh o; to naah tang kaminawk sang pangato phak o.
5 In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
Khawnbang phak naah loe, ukkungnawk, kacoehtanawk hoi ca tarik kaminawk,
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
kalen koek qaima Anna, Kaiapha, Johan, Alexander hoi kalen koek qaima ih imthung takoh boih Jerusalem ah amkhueng o.
7 When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
Nihnik to kaminawk salakah suek o moe, Naa ih sakthaihaih hoiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe mi ih ahmin hoiah maw hae hmuen hae na sak hoi? tiah lok a dueng o.
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
Piter loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi moe, nihcae khaeah, Nangcae kami ukkungnawk hoi Israel kacoehtanawk,
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
vai hniah tha kahnaem kami maeto nuiah kahoih hmuen sak pongah kawbangah maw ngan a tui, tiah lokdueng han ih nang kawk o nahaeloe;
10 may it be 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, this man stands here before you whole in him.
nangcae hoi Israel kaminawk boih mah, hae hmuen hae panoek o ah, thinglam pongah na takhing o boeh, toe Sithaw mah duekhaih thung hoiah pathawk let ih, Nazareth Jesu Kri rang hoiah ni nangcae hma ah angdoe hae kami hae ngan a tui.
11 He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
Hae loe nangcae imsah kaminawk mah na pahnawt o sut ih thlung ah oh, to thlung loe kahoih koek im takii ih thlung ah angcoeng boeh.
12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
Kalah pahlonghaih roe om ai: van tlim ah kaom kaminawk thungah aicae pahlong thaih ahmin kalah tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.
13 Now 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.
Piter hoi Johan loe ca amtuk ai kami, kami rumram ni, tito nihcae mah panoek o moe, nihnik ih misahoihaih to hnuk o naah, nihcae loe dawnrai o; toe nihcae mah hae kami hnik loe Jesu hoi nawnto kaom kami ni, tito panoek o.
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Nihnik hoi nawnto angdoe ngantui kami to doeh a hnuk o, toe anih hanah loe kawbangah doeh naa o ai.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Toe nihnik to lokcaekhaih ahmuen hoiah tacawtsak pacoengah, angmacae hoi angmacae lok angdueng o,
16 saying, “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.
hae kami hnik hae kawbangmaw a sak o han? Nihnik mah sak ih dawnrai hmuen loe Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih mah hnuk o boeh, to pongah aicae mah aek thai mak ai boeh.
17 But 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.”
Kaminawk salakah amthang let han ai hoi hae kami ih ahmin hoiah mi khaeah doeh lok a thuih hoi han ai ah, nihnik to pazih si, tiah a thuih o.
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
To pongah nihnik to a kawk o moe, Jesu ih ahmin hoiah patuk moe, lok roe thuih han ai ah lokthuih pae o.
19 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,
Piter hoi Johan mah nihcae khaeah, Sithaw mikhnuk ah Sithaw ih lok tahngaih pongah nangcae ih lok tahngaih han hoih kue maw, hoih kue ai tito nangmacae mah lok takroek oh.
20 for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
Kaihnik loe ka hnuk hoi moe, ka thaih hoi ih hmuen to thui ai ah kaom hoi thai ai, tiah a naa hoi.
21 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.
To tiah a sak hoi ih hmuen pongah, kaminawk boih mah Sithaw ih ahmin to pakoeh o pongah, nihnik to danpaek o thai ai, to pongah nihcae mah nihnik to pazih o pacoengah, prawt o let,
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
dawnrai koi kaom ah ngantuisak ih kami loe saning quipalito ranuih ah oh boeh.
23 Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Nihnik loih hoi pacoengah angmacae ampuinawk khaeah caeh hoi moe, kalen koek qaima hoi kacoehtanawk mah nihnik khaeah thuih ih loknawk to thuih pae hoi boih.
24 When 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;
To loknawk to a thaih o naah, poek maeto hoiah Sithaw khaeah, Angraeng, nang loe van, long, tuipui hoi a thungah kaom hmuennawk boih sahkung Sithaw ah na oh, tiah hangh o:
25 who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
na tamna David ih pakha hoiah, Tipongah maw Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe palungphui o moe, kaminawk mah avang ai hmuennawk to poek o?
26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
Long siangpahrangnawk loe angdoet o, ukkungnawk loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, Angraeng hoi Anih ih Kri to misa ah suek o, tiah lok na thuih.
27 “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
Tangtang ni, Herod, Pilat, Gentelnawk hoi Israelnawk mah situi na bawh ih, ciimcai nawkta Jesu to koeh o ai,
28 to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
canghnii hoi lok na takroek tangcae baktih toengah, na koehhaih to a sak o hanah, nihcae loe nawnto amkhueng o.
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
Angraeng, vaihi nihcae mah pazih ih loknawk to poek ah loe, misahoihaih boih hoiah na lok to a thuih o thai hanah, na tamnanawk to abom ah,
30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
nangmah ih kaciim nawkta Jesu ih ahmin hoiah, ngantuihaih, angmathaih hoi dawnrai hmuennawk sak hanah, na ban to payueng ah, tiah lawk a thuih o.
31 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.
Nihcae mah lawkthuih o naah, nihcae nawnto amkhuenghaih ahmuen to anghuen; nihcae loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi o boih moe, Sithaw lok to misahoihaih hoiah a thuih o.
32 The 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.
Tanghaih tawn paroeai kaminawk loe, poekhaih palung maeto ah amhong o: mi mah doeh a tawnh ih hmuen to angmah ih hmuen ah poek o ai; nihcae loe hmuen to nawnto patoh angbomh o boih.
33 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
Patoeh ih kaminawk mah kalen thacakhaih hoiah Angraeng Jesu angthawk lethaih hnukung ah ohhaih kawng to taphong o, nihcae nui boih ah kalen parai tahmenhaih to oh.
34 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,
Nihcae thungah kavawt kami mi doeh om ai: long hoi im tawn kaminawk loe long hoi im to zawh o moe, a zawh o ih hmuenmae tho to a sin o,
35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
patoeh kaminawk ih khokkung ah a suek o moe, angaih kaminawk hanah pazet o.
36 Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
Cyprus prae ih Levi kami Jose, patoeh ih kaminawk mah loe anih to Barnaba (pathloep ah kaom capa, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni) tiah kawk o, anih mah,
37 having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
a tawnh ih long to zawh moe, tangka to patoeh ih kaminawk khokkung ah sinh.
