Caeltueih 11

1 Namtom rhoek loh Pathen kah olka a doe uh te Judea ah aka om caeltueih rhoek neh manuca rhoek loh a yaak uh.

Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.

2 Tedae Peter loh Jerusalem la a caeh vaengah tah anih te yahvinrhetnah dongkah rhoek loh a boelhkhoeh uh.

And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,

3 “Pumdul la aka om hlang rhoek taengla na kun tih amih te na vael puei,” a ti nah.

Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.

4 Te dongah Peter loh amih taengah tuek tuek a saep pahoi tih,

But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,

5 “Kai loh Joppa khopuei kah ka thangthui vaengah ka muei ka mang neh ka om tih mangthui ka hmuh. Te vaengah himbai len bangla kil pali aka om hno pakhat te vaan lamloh ha colh tih, kai taengla ha pawk.

I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:

6 Te te ka hmaitang tih ka hmat hatah diklai rhamsa neh satlung khaw, rhulcai neh vaan kah vaa khaw ka hmuh.

And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.

7 Te phoeiah ol ka yaak bal tih, 'Peter, thoo, ngawn lamtah ca,’a ti.

And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

8 Tedae, 'Moenih boeipa, tanghnong tangaih neh rhalawt tah ka ka la a kun noek moenih,’ ka ti nah.

But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.

9 Tedae vaan lamkah a pabae ol loh, 'Pathen loh a ciim tangtae te nang loh poeih boeh,’ a ti.

But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

10 Te tlam te a om phoeikah a pathum dongah tah vaan la boeih a doek koep.

And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.

11 Te vaengah Kaiserea lamloh kai taengla han tueih hlang pathum tah ka om nah im ah pakcak ha pai uh pahoi.

And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.

12 Mueihla long khaw kai taengah, 'Boelhkhoeh kolla amih te puei laeh,’ a ti. Te dongah manuca parhuk he kamah neh kan lo puei tih hlang im khuila ka kun uh.

And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:

13 Anih long khaw a im ah a pai vaengah puencawn a hmuh tih, Joppa ah hlang tueih lamtah Peter la a khue Simon te tah laeh.

And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;

14 Anih loh nang taengkah a thui ol dongah namah neh na imko boeih khaw khang la na om ni,’ a ti nah te kaimih taengah ha puen bal.

Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.

15 A cuek ca vaengkah mamih soah a tlak vanbangla thui hamla ka tong vaengah amih te Mueihla Cim loh a tlak thil coeng.

And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.

16 Te vaengah Boeipa kah ol, 'Johan loh tui ah n'nuem. Tedae nangmih tah Mueihla Cim ah n'nuem ni,’ a ti te ka poek.

And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

17 Te dongah mamih van bangla Boeipa Jesuh Khrih dongah aka tangnah tah Pathen loh amih te vanat la kutdoe a paek atah kai metlam ka om tih Pathen te ka kang thai eh,” a ti.

If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?

18 A yaak uh vaengah sap duem uh tih Pathen te a thangpom uh. Te dongah, “Hingnah ham yutnah te Pathen loh namtom taengah khaw a paek coeng,” a ti uh.

And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.

19 Phacip phabaem loh Stephen te a pai thil dongah amih khaw palang uh tih Phoiniki, Kupros neh Antiok la cet uh. Tedae Judah bueng pawt atah u taengah khaw ol thui uh pawh.

Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.

20 Te vaengah amih khuiah khaw Kuporos neh Kurena hlang rhoek khaw bet om van. Amih tah Antiok la cet uh tih Hellenist rhoek taengah khaw a thui uh vaengah Boeipa Jesuh ni a thui uh.

But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.

21 Amih te Boeipa kut loh a om puei dongah Boeipa taengla aka bal tih aka tangnah hlangmi long khaw ping uh.

And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.

22 Amih kawng te Jerusalem kah aka om hlangboel kah a hna ah olthang la a yaak uh. Te dongah Antiok la caeh ham Barnabas te a tueih uh.

And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:

23 Anih a pha vaengah Pathen kah lungvatnah aka hmuh rhoek tah omngaih uh tih thinko mangtaengnah he Boeipa dongah rhaeh rhong ham boeih thaphoh uh thae.

Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:

24 Anih te hlang then pakhat la om tih Mueihla Cim neh tangnah nen khaw baetawt. Te dongah hlangping loh Boeipa taengah muep tomthap la om.

For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.

25 Te phoeiah Saul tlap hamla Tarsus ah cet.

Then he went on to Tarsus, looking for Saul;

26 A hmuh phoeiah Antiok la a khuen. A pha vaengah amih te kum khat puet hlangboel khuiah tingtun uh tih hlangping te yet te a thuituen. Te dongah hnukbang rhoek te Khrihca rhoek tila Antiok ah a khue lamhma cuek.

And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.

27 Te vaeng tue ah te tonghma rhoek tah Jerusalem lamkah Antiok la cet uh.

Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

28 Te vaengah amih khuikah pakhat, a ming ah Agabus loh thoo tih lunglai pum ah om ham aka cai khokha tung te mueihla neh a phoe. Te te Klaudius tue vaengah thoeng coeng.

And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.

29 Te dongah hnukbang rhoek tah pakhat rhip loh amah kah a noeng bangla Judea kah manuca khosa rhoek taengah bomnah pat ham a hmoel uh.

And the disciples, everyone as he was able, made a decision to send help to the brothers living in Judaea:

30 Te tlam te a saii phoeiah Barnabas neh Sual kut ah patong rhoek taengla a pat uh.

Which they did, sending it to the rulers of the church by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
