Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Angraeng hnukbang kaminawk to pazih moe, hum han pacaeng, Saul loe kasang qaima khaeah caeh moe,
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
a caehhaih loklam ah hnuk ih nongpa maw, nongpata maw naeh moe, Jerusalem thongim thungah pakhrak thai hanah, Damaska vangpui ih Sineko ah tarik ih canawk to a hnik.
3 As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Anih loe kholong caeh moe, Damaska vangpui phak tom naah, poek ai pui ah van bang hoiah aanghaih mah a taeng boih to toeh pae:
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
anih loe long ah amtimh, Saul, Saul, tipongah Kai nang pacaekthlaek loe? tiah anih han thuih pae ih lok to a thaih.
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
To naah anih mah, Angraeng, nang loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Angraeng mah, Kai loe nang pacaekthlaek ih Jesu: kamsum pathuih loe nang hanah rai parai, tiah a naa.
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
Anih loe tasoeh hoi dawnraihaih hoiah Angraeng, timaw saksak han na koeh? tiah a naa. Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Angthawk ah loe vangpui thungah caeh ah, toah na sak han koi na thui tih hmang, tiah a naa.
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Anih hoi nawnto kholong caeh kaminawk loe lokpae ai ah angdoet o sut, lok loe a thaih o, toe mi doeh hnu o ai.
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
Saul loe long hoiah angthawk tahang; a mik padai naah mi doeh hnu thai ai: toe anih to ban ah patawnh o moe, Damaska vangpui thungah caeh o haih.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Anih loe ni thumto thung mikmaeng, buhcaa ai tui doeh nae ai ah oh.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
To naah Anania, tiah ahmin kaom hnukbang kami maeto Damaska vangpui thungah oh; anih ih ahmin loe Anania; Angraeng mah hnuksakhaih hoiah anih khaeah, Anania, tiah kawk; to naah anih mah, Khenah, Angraeng, haeah ka oh, tiah pathim pae.
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Angthawk ah loe Katoeng, tiah ahmin kaom loklam ah caeh ah, Tarsa vangpui ih Saul, tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto Juda im ah pakrong ah: khenah anih loe vaihi lawkthuih li, tiah a naa.
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
Anih mah Anania, tiah ahmin kaom kami loe, anih nuiah ban koeng moe, a mik amtuengsak hanah angzoh, tito hnuksakhaih hoiah a hnuk coek boeh.
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
Anania mah, Angraeng, hae kami mah kawkruk maw Jerusalem ah nang ih kaciim kaminawk pacaekthlaek, tito paroeai kaminawk mah thuih ih lok ka thaih.
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
Anih loe haeah angzoh moe, nang ih ahmin palawk kaminawk boih naeh hanah, kalen koek qaima khae hoi ih sakthaihaih anah to a tawnh, tiah a naa.
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
Toe Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Caeh ah: anih loe Gentelnawk, siangpahrangnawk hoi Israel caanawk hma ah, Kai ih ahmin phawkung ah ka qoih ih hmuen ah oh:
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
Ka hmin pongah anih mah kawkruk maw patangkhang tih, tto anih khaeah kam tuengsak han, tiah a naa.
17 Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Anania loe caeh moe, imthung ah akun; Saul nuiah ban to koeng moe, kam nawk Saul, haeah nang zoh naah loklam ah nang khaeah kamtueng, Angraeng Jesu mah, na mik to amtueng moe, Kacai Muithla hoi na koi hanah, kai ang patoeh, tiah a naa.
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
Akra ai ah Saul ih mik hoiah tanga hin kangkhok baktiah krak moe, a mik to amtueng pae roep, anih loe angthawk moe, tuinuemhaih to hnuk.
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Buhcaak pacoengah anih loe tha oh let. To pacoengah Saul loe Damaska ah kaom hnukbang kaminawk hoi nawnto atue kasawk ah cam.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
Akra ai ah anih mah Jesu loe Sithaw Capa ni, tiah Kri kawng to Sinekonawk ah taphong.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
Anih ih lok thaih kaminawk boih dawnrai o, Hae kami loe Jerusalem ah kaom Anih ih ahmin kawk kaminawk pacaekthlaek kami, nihcae to naeh moe, kalen koek qaima khaeah thak han ih na ai maw haeah angzoh? tiah thuih o.
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Toe Saul loe thacak aep, Damaska vangpui ah kaom Judahnawk ih lok to aek moe, Jesu loe Kri ni, tiah taphong.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Ni kasawk ah akra pacoengah, Judahnawk mah anih hum hanah patoem o:
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
toe nihcae mah pacaenghaih to Saul mah panoek. Anih hum thai hanah aqum athun khongkha to toep o.
25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
To naah hnukbang kaminawk mah anih to aqum ah lak o, benthang thungah pacaeng o moe, vangpui sipae tapang hoiah anghum o sak tathuk ving.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Saul Jerusalem phak naah, hnukbang kaminawk hoi nawnto angkom hanah a poek: toe hnukbangnawk mah anih to zit o, anih loe hnukbang kami maeto toeng ni, tito tang o ai.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Toe Barnaba mah anih to lak moe, patoeh ih kaminawk khaeah caeh haih, Kawbangah maw Angraeng to loklam ah ka hnuk moe, kawbangah maw Angraeng mah anih khaeah lokthuih pae pacoengah, kawbangah maw zithaih om ai ah Jesu ih ahmin hoiah Damaska vangpui ah tamthanglok a thuih, tito nihcae khaeah thuih pae.
28 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
To pacoengah Sual loe nihcae hoi nawnto oh, koeh baktiah Jerusalem ah akun moe, tacawt.
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Anih loe misa sae ai ah Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin hoiah lok to thuih, Grik lok apae kaminawk to lok a aek moe, lok a thuih pae: toe nihcae mah anih to hum hanah pacaeng o.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
To tamthang to nawkamyanawk mah panoek o naah, anih to Sisaria vangpui ah caeh o haih tathuk, to ahmuen hoiah anih to Tarsa ah patoeh o.
31 So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
To pacoengah loe Judea prae, Kalili prae hoi Samaria prae thungah kaom kricabunawk boih kamong ah oh o moe, Sithaw bokhaih bangah doeh hmacawn o; Angraeng zithaih hoiah khosak o moe, Kacai Muithla zaehhoihaih rang hoiah kami angpung o.
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Piter loe prae maeto pacoeng maeto ah kholong caeh, Lydda vangpui ah kaom kaciim kaminawk khaeah doeh caeh tathuk.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralyzed.
Toah Aeneas, tiah ahmin kaom saning tazetto thung iihkhun nuiah kangsong, ngan dueh nathaih tawn kami maeto a hnuk.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
Piter mah anih khaeah, Aeneas, Jesu Kri mah ngan ang tuisak boeh: angthawk ah loe kahni to la ah, tiah a naa. To naah Aeneas loe angthawk roep.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Lydda hoi Sharon ah kaom kaminawk boih mah hnuk o naah, Angraeng khaeah angqoi o.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
Joppa vangpui ah loe Tibitha (Dorka, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni) tiah ahmin kaom hnukbang kami maeto oh: to nongpata loe kahoih hmuen to sak moe, hmuen paekhaih hoi akoep kami ah oh.
37 In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
To naah, anih loe ngannat moe, duek ving: a qok to tui hoi pasaeh o pacoengah, ranui ih asom ah a suek o.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
Lydda vangpui loe Joppa vangpui hoi anghnai daek, hnukbang kaminawk mah, Piter Lydda vangpui ah oh ti, tiah thaih o naah, anih khaeah kami long hnetto patoeh o, nihcae hoi nawnto karangah caeh pae hanah tahmenhaih a hnik o.
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
To naah Piter loe angthawk moe, nihnik hoi nawnto caeh. A phak naah, anih to im ranui ih asom ah caeh o haih: lamhmainawk boih a taengah angdoet o moe, qah o, nihcae hoi nawnto oh naah Dorka mah sak ih tlangqui hoi kahninawk to patuek pae o.
40 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Piter mah nihcae to imthung hoi tacawtsak boih, khokkhu cangkrawn moe, lawk a thuih; kadueh qok bangah anghae moe, Tabitha, angthawk ah, tiah a naa. To naah nongpata loe mikpadai: nongpata mah Piter to hnuk naah, angthawk moe, anghnut.
41 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Piter mah anih ih ban to patawnh moe, pathawk tahang; kaciim kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk to a kawk moe, nihcae khaeah kahing let nongpata to a paek.
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
To tamthang loe Joppa vangpui boih ah amthang, paroeai kaminawk mah Angraeng to tang o.
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Piter loe Joppa vangpui ah Simon, tiah ahmin kaom, moihin hui kami ih im ah, ni kasawk ah cam.
