Toksahkungnawk 1
1 Aw Theophila, hmaloe ah ka sak ih cabu pongah, Jesu mah sak ih hmuen hoi patuk amtonghaih kawng to,
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Yeshua began both to do and to teach,
2 patoeh han a qoih ih kaminawk khaeah, Kacai Muithla rang hoiah lok to paek moe, ranui bangah lakhaih ni pha ai karoek to a thuih pae ih lok to ka tarik boeh.
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Ruach ha-Kodesh to the emissaries whom he had chosen.
3 Anih loe patangkhang pacoengah, nihcae khaeah ni quipalito thung amtueng pae moe, Sithaw prae kawng to a thuih: anih loe hing, tiah nihcae khaeah paroeai hnuksakhaih hoiah amtuengsak:
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
4 Patoeh ih kaminawk hoi nawnto amkhueng o naah, ka thuih ih lok to na thaih o boeh, Pa Lokkamhaih to zing oh, Jerusalem hae caeh o taak hmah.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 Johan loe tui hoiah ni tuinuemhaih to paek; toe nangcae loe akra ai ah Kacai Muithla hoiah tuinuemhaih to na hnu o tih, tiah a naa.
For John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Ruach ha-Kodesh not many days from now."
6 Nihcae mah nawnto amkhueng o naah, anih khaeah, Angraeng, vaihi Israel prae nang doetsak let han boeh maw? tiah a dueng o.
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Pa mah a thacakhaih rang hoiah suek ih ani hoi atuenawk na panoek o han angai ai.
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Toe nangcae nuiah Kacai Muithla angzoh pacoengah, thacakhaih to na hnu o tih: to naah Jerusalem, Judea prae hoi Samaria prae thung boih, long boenghaih ahmuen khoek to, Kai hnukung ah na om o tih, tiah a naa.
But you will receive power when the Ruach ha-Kodesh has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 Hae loknawk a thuih pacoengah, nihcae mik hnukah, anih loe van ah lak tahang ah oh; anih loe nihcae mah hnu thai ai karoek to tamai nuiah caeh tahang.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Anih ranui bang caeh naah, nihcae mah boeng ai ah khet o tahang, khenah, kahni kanglung angkhuk kami hnetto, nihcae taengah angdoet pae;
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 nihnik mah, Kalili kaminawk, Tih pongah nang doet o moe, ranui bangah na khet o khing loe? Nangcae khae hoi van ah lak tahang ah kaom, nangcae mik hnukah Jesu van ah lak tahang baktih toengah, anih loe angzo let tih, tiah a naa.
who also said, "You men of Galil, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Yeshua, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
12 To pacoengah loe nihcae mah Jerusalem hoi Sabbath nito caehhaih kangthla, Olive, tiah kawk ih mae hoiah Jerusalem ah amlaem o.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, Jacob, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, Jacob the son of Halfai, Shim'on the Zealot, and Judah the son of Jacob.
14 Nongpatanawk, Jesu amno Meri, Anih ih amnawknawk boih loe poekhaih maeto hoiah lawkthuih o.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Miriam the mother of Yeshua, and with his brothers.
15 To na niah Piter loe (cumvaito pacoeng, pumphaeto) kamkhueng, a hnukbang kaminawk salakah angdoet moe, )
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 nawkamyanawk, Jesu naeh kaminawk loklam patuekkung, canghnii ah Kacai Muithla mah David ih pakha hoiah Juda kawng thuih ih hae Cabu lok loe akoep han oh.
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Ruach ha-Kodesh spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judah, who was guide to those who took Yeshua.
17 Anih loe aicae hoi nawnto kroek o moe, hae tok doeh a sak toeng, tiah a thuih.
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 Juda loe zaehaih atho hoiah long to qanh; anih loe lu bang hoiah long ah krak, a zok um ah tapok phawt pongah, tazae taqawnnawk doeh amsah boih.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 To tiah kaom hmuen to Jerusalem kaminawk boih mah panoek o; to pongah to long ahmuen loe a taengah kaom kaminawk ih lok hoiah Akeldama, tiah kawk o, athii hoi qan ih long, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni.
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
20 Saam Cabu thungah, Anih ohhaih ahmuen to pong sut nasoe loe, toah mi doeh om hmah nasoe: zaehoikung ah a ohhaih tok to kalah kami mah la nasoe, tiah tarik ih oh.
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 To pongah, Angraeng Jesu aicae salakah oh moe, tacawt naah, aicae hoi nawnto kaom toepsoep kami,
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Yeshua went in and out among us,
22 aicae hoi nawnto Jesu angthawk lethaih hnukung ah oh hanah, Johan mah tuinuemhaih paek tangsuek nathuem hoi kamtong, Anih aicae khae hoi ranui bangah lak karoek to, aicae hoi nawnto kaom kami maeto tokpaek han oh, tiah a thuih.
beginning from the immersion of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23 To pongah nihcae mah kami hnetto, Barsabas, tiah kawk ih Joseph (Justa, tiah doeh kawk o) hoi Mathia to qoih o.
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
to take part in this ministry and office of emissary from which Judah turned away to go to his own place."
26 To pacoengah nihcae mah taham khethaih phoisa to vah o; taham khethaih phoisa loe Mathia khaeah amtimh; to pongah anih to patoeh ih kami hathlai hnetto thungah athum o sak.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven emissaries.
