Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
Stephen-bu hatpada Saul-na ayaba pikhi. Numit adumaktada Jerusalem-da leiba singlup adugi mathakta akanba ot-neiba thoklammi. Pakhonchatpasing nattana thajaba makhoi pumnamak Judea amadi Samaria-gi mapham pumnamakta ichai chaithoklammi.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
Tengban Mapubu chetna ningba mi kharana Stephen-bu leirol challammi amadi mahakkidamak kanna tengtharammi.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Adubu Saul-na yum yumda changduna thajaba nupa nupisingbu chingthoklaga keisumsangda thamjinduna singluppu manghanba hotnarammi.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
Chaithokkhraba thajabasing aduna makhoina chatpa chatpa mapham khudingda Tengban Mapugi wa sandoklammi.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
Philip-na Samaria-gi sahar amada chatlammi aduga mapham adugi misingda Christtagi maramda sandoklammi.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Miyam aduna Philip-ki wa tabada amadi mahakna touba angakpa khudamsing adu ubada mahakna haiba wa aduda makhoi pukning changna tarammi.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Phattaba thawaisingna mi kayadagi ahouba khonjel laoduna thoraklammi pangthaduna naba kaya amadi khong tekpa kaya ama pharammi.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Maram aduna sahar aduda yamna haraorammi.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Mapham aduda Simon kouba nupa ama leirammi, mahakna matam khara hikap-yaikap touduna Samaria-gi misingbu ngak-hallammi. Mahakna masabu athoiba mi amani haiduna chaothokcharammi.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
Aduga sahar adugi achou pisak mi pumnamakna mahakna haiba wa pukning changna tarammi. Makhoina hairak-i, “Mahak asi ‘Thoihellaba Panggal’ kouba Tengban Mapugi panggal aduni.”
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Matam kuina mahakna mahakki hikap-yeikapna makhoibu ngak-hanbagi maramna makhoina mahakki matung illammi.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Adubu Philip-na Tengban Mapugi leibakki amadi Jisu Christtagi maramda sandokpa aphaba pao adu makhoina thajaduna nupa nupi animak yaona makhoi baptize lourammi.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Simon masamaksu thajaduna baptize lourammi. Philip-na chatpa mapham khuding mahak matung illammi amasung mahakna angakpa khudamsing amadi angakpa thabaksing adu ubada ngaklammi.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Samaria-gi misingna Tengban Mapugi wa lousille haiba tabada Jerusalem-da leiba pakhonchatpasingna Peter amadi John-bu makhoigi manakta tharammi.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Makhoina thunglabada thajabasing adu Thawai Asengba phangnanaba makhoigidamak haijabirammi.
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
Maramdi Thawai Asengbana makhoi kana amatagi mathakta laklamdri; makhoidi Ibungo Jisugi mingda baptize toubatani.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Adudagi Peter amadi John-na makhoigi mathakta khut thambirammi amasung makhoina Thawai Asengba phangjarammi.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
Pakhonchatpasingna makhoigi mathakta khut thambibada Thawai Asengba pibiba adu Simon-na ubada mahakna makhoida sel kattuna
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
hairak-i, “Eina khut thamba mi khudingmakna Thawai Asengba phangnanaba matik adu eingondasu pibiyu.”
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
Maduda Peter-na mangonda khumlak-i, “Selna Tengban Mapugi khudolbu leiba yai haina nahakna khanba maram asina nahakki sel nahakka loinana mangba oisanu!
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
Eikhoigi thabak asida nahakki saruk amadi thoudang amata yaode maramdi Tengban Mapugi mangda nahakki thamoi adu chumde.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Phattaba asidagi nahak pukning hong-u aduga nahakki thamoida adugumba wakhal leiba adugidamak Mapu Ibungoda haijou adu oirabadi nahakpu kokpiba yai.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
Nahak kalakpana thalle amadi ayol aranna pulle haiba eina u-i.”
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
Maduda Simon-na Peter amadi John-da hairak-i, “Nakhoina haikhibasing adu ithakta tadanaba eigidamak Mapu Ibungoda haijabiyu.”
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Makhoina sakhi piraba amadi Mapu Ibungogi wa adu sandoklaba matungda Peter amadi John Samaria-gi khun kayada Aphaba Pao sandok sandokna Jerusalem tanna hallammi.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
Mapu Ibungogi swargadut amana Philip-ta hairak-i, “Kha pangna Jerusalem-dagi Gaza taba leikanglagi lambi aduda chatlu.” (Houjikti lambi asi sijinnadre.)
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
Maram aduna mahakna chatpa hourammi, mahakki khongchat manungda Ethopia-gi leimarembi Candace-gi lan-thum pumnamak panaba masa onba maru-oiba phamnaiba ama thengnarammi. Mahak Jerusalem-da Tengban Mapubu khurumjaba chatlubani.
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Aduga mahakna mayum hallakpagi lambida mahakki sagol gari mathakta phamduna Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou Isaiah-gi lairik adu paduna leirammi.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
Maduda Thawai Asengbana Philip-ta hairak-i, “Sagol gari adugi manakta changsillaga leiyu.”
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
Adudagi Philip-na sagol gari adugi manakta chensillammi aduga mahakna maichou Isaiah-gi lairik pariba adu tare. Maduda Philip-na mangonda hanglak-i, “Nahakna pariba adu khangba ngambra?”
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Mahakna khumlak-i, “Kanagumba amana eingonda takpidrabadi karamna khanggani?” Maram aduna mahakna Philip-pu sagol gari mathakta kakhatlaga mahakka phamminnanaba haijarammi.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
Mahakna pariba Mapugi puya adugi saruk adu asini: “Sa hatphamda puba yaogum Ibungobu chingle, yao machana magi matu kakpagi mangda tumin leibagumna Ibungona wa ngangkhide.
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
Ibungobu ikaiba pire amadi Ibungoda achumba wayel phanghandre. Kananasu Ibungogi mirolgi maramda haiba ngamlaroi, maramdi Ibungogi thawai malemdagi louthokkhre.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
Phamnaiba aduna Philip-ta hanglak-i, “Maichou asina kanagi maramda hairibano? Mahak masagi maramdara nattraga kanagumba amagi maramdara?”
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
Adudagi Philip-na puyagi mapham asidagi houraga mangonda Jisugi maramgi Aphaba Pao adu sandoklammi.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
Makhoina lam aduda asum lakpada ising leiba mapham ama youraklammi maduda phamnaiba aduna hairak-i, “Mapham asida ising khara leire. Eibu baptize toubibada kari apanba leibage?”
Maduda Philip-na mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna nahakki thamoi pumnamak yaona thajarabadi yai.” Maduda mahakna khumlak-i, “Tengban Mapugi Machanupa adu Jisu Christtani haiba eina thajei.”
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Phamnaiba aduna sagol gari adu lepnaba yathang pirammi aduga makhoi ani haibadi Philip amadi phamnaiba aduna isingda kumtharammi aduga Philip-na mahakpu baptize toubire.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Makhoina isingdagi kakhatlakpa matamda Mapu Ibungogi Thawaina Philip-pu khanghoudana puthokkhre aduga phamnaiba aduna mahakpu ukhidre adubu mahak haraona chatkhi.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Adubu Philip masamak Azotus-ta leire haiba khangle mahakna Caesarea youdriphaoba mahakna lakpada sahar pumnamakta Aphaba Pao sandoklammi.
