1 Pentekos hnin a pha vaengah pakhat la tun boeih om uh.
And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,
2 Te vaengah vaan lamkah olhum tah khohli puei aka hli bangla tarha om tih aka ngol rhoek a om nah im te khuk bae.
and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,
3 Te vaengah amih taengah hmai bangla thoeng a lai long khaw phik uh tih amih pakhat rhip soah a ngol thil.
and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it sat also upon each one of them,
4 Te vengah Mueihla Cim neh boeih bae uh tih Mueihla loh amih taengah thui ham a paek vanbangla ol tloe neh koe cal uh.
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.
5 Te vaengah Jerusalem kah khosa Judah rhoek, vaan hmui neh namtom boeih khuikah aka cuep hlang rhoek khaw om uh.
And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven,
6 Tekah ol a om vaengah amih kah a thui te pakhat rhip loh amah ol la a yaak uh dongah rhaengpuei loh tingtun tih puen uh.
and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were each one hearing them speaking in his proper dialect,
7 Limlum uh tih a ngaihmang uh dongah, “Hekah aka om boeih he Galilee ol la aka cal rhoek moenih a he?
and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto another, 'Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 Balae tih mamih loh n'thaang nah kah m'mah ol la rhip n'yaak uh.
and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born?
9 Parthian, Mede neh Elamite khaw, Mesopotamia kah khosa rhoek khaw, Judea neh Kappadokia khaw, Pontus neh Asia khaw,
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,
10 Phrygia neh Pamphylia khaw, Egypt neh Lybia pingpang Kurene ben khaw, Roman laiom khaw,
Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya, that [are] along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Judah rhoek neh poehlip rhoek long khaw, Krete neh Arab rhoek long kaw a thui te mah ol n'yaak uh tih, Pathen tah lenduet pai,” a ti uh.
Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.'
12 Hlang boeih loh limlum uh tih hit uh. Pakhat loh pakhat taengah, “Balae a ngaih tih he tlam he a om,” a ti uh.
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one unto another, 'What would this wish to be?'
13 Tedae a tloe rhoek loh a nueih thil uh tih, “Didip tui aka rhuihmil rhoek ni,” a ti uh.
and others mocking said, — 'They are full of sweet wine;'
14 Tedae Peter neh hlaikhat loh a pai doeah a ol a huel tih amih te, “Judah hlang rhoek neh Jerusalem kah khosa boeih, he tah nangmih loh na hmat uh hamla om saeh lamtah ka olthui mah hna kaenguh.
and Peter having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and declared to them, 'Men, Jews! and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and harken to my sayings,
15 Na ngaihoih uh bangla he rhoek tah a rhui uh moenih. Khothaih khonoek pataeng pathum ni a lo pueng.
for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 Tedae hekah he tah tonghma Joel lamloh a thui te ni.
'But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 “Khohnin hnukkhueng dongla a om vaengah, Pathen loh, 'Pumsa boeih te ka Mueihla ka lun thil vetih, na canu na capa rhoek loh ol a phong uh ni. Na cadong rhoek loh mikhlam a hmuh uh ni. Nangmih kah patong rhoek loh mang a man uh ni.
And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 Tekah khohnin ah Ka sal rhoek so neh ka salnu rhoek soah khaw ka Mueihla ka lun vetih ol a phong uh ni.
and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants, in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy;
19 Vaan so ah khobae rhambae, diklai hmui ah miknoek te thii, hmai, tuihu hmaikhu neh ka paek ni.
and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon the earth beneath — blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke,
20 Boeipa kah a len neh mingom khohnin ha pawk tomah tah khomik loh yinnah la, hla khaw thii la poeh ni.
the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord — the great and illustrious;
21 Te vaengah ana om bitni, Boeipa ming aka phoei boeih te tah daem ni.
and it shall be, every one — whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.
22 Israel hlang rhoek, ol he hnatun uh. Nazareth Jesuh, nangmih taengah Pathen loh han tai hlang te, na ming uh bangla anih lamkah ni thaomnah, khobae rhambae neh miknoek khaw Pathen loh nangmih lakli ah a saii.
'Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known;
23 Pathen kah mangtaengnah neh mingnah loh a hoep anih te lailak kut loh han tloeng dongah na tai uh tih na ngawn uh.
this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified — ye did slay;
24 Tedae dueknah loh anih a pin ham tah a coeng koi la a om pawt dongah dueknah bungtloh te a hlam pah tih Pathen loh amah te a thoh.
whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it,
25 Anih te David long khaw a thui tih, “Boeipa te ka hmaiah vawp vawp ka hmaitang yoeyah tih ka bantang ah a om dongah ka hinghoek mahpawh.
for David saith in regard to him: I foresaw the Lord always before me — because He is on my right hand — that I may not be moved;
26 Te dongah ka thinko loh a uum tih ka ol loh hlampan. Ka pum long khaw ngaiuepnah dongah kho a sak bal pueng ni.
because of this was my heart cheered, and my tongue was glad, and yet — my flesh also shall rest on hope,
27 Ka hinglu he saelkhui ah na phap sut pawt tih na hlangcim te pocinah tong sak ham na paek moenih. (Hadēs g86)
because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou give Thy Kind One to see corruption; (Hadēs g86)
28 Hingnah longpuei te kai nan tueng tih, na mikhmuh ah omngaihnah neh kai nan baetawt sak.
Thou didst make known to me ways of life, Thou shalt fill me with joy with Thy countenance.
29 Manuca rhoek, ka hlang rhoek aw, patuel David kawng he nangmih taengah sayalh la thui ham m'pae mai. Anih te duek coeng tih a up bal coeng dae a phuel tah tihnin duela mamih taengah om.
'Men, brethren! it is permitted to speak with freedom unto you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day;
30 Te dongah tonghma la aka om long khaw Pathen loh a pumpu kah a thaih khui lamkah a ngolkhoel dongah ngol sak ham a taengah olhlo neh a toemngam te khaw a ming.
a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne,
31 Anih te saelkhui ah phap sut pawt ham neh a pumsa loh pocinah tong pawt ham khaw Khrih kah thohkoepnah kawng te a hmaitang tih a thui coeng. (Hadēs g86)
having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Pathen loh Jesuh a thoh dongah mamih boeih he laipai la n'om uh.
'This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all witnesses;
33 Te vaengah Pathen kah bantang ah a pomsang. Mueihla Cim kah olkhueh, na hmuh uh tih na yaak uh te pa taeng lamloh han lun tih, na dang uh.
at the right hand then of God having been exalted — also the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father — he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;
34 Te dongah David loh vaan la cet hlan dae anih te a voek vaengah,
for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
35 Boeipa loh, “Ka Boeipa aw, na rhal te na kho ham khotloeng la ka khueh hlan atah, kai kah bantang ah ngol dae,” a ti nah.
till I make thy foes thy footstool;
36 Te dongah Israel imkhui boeih loh Boeipa amah neh Pathen loh a khueh Khrih khaw rhep ming saeh. Jesuh amah he ni na tai uh,” a ti.
assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know, that both Lord and Christ did God make him — this Jesus whom ye did crucify.'
37 A yaak uh vaengah thinko a thun pah tih Peter neh a tloe caeltueih rhoek taengah, “Ka manuca rhoek, ka hlang rhoek, balae ka saii uh eh,” a ti uh.
And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, 'What shall we do, men, brethren?'
38 Tedae Peter loh amih taengah, “Yut uh lamtah na tholh khodawkngainah ham nangmih khat rhip loh Jesuh Khrih ming dongah nuem uh lah. Te daengah ni Cim Mueihla kah kutdoe te na dang uh eh.
and Peter said unto them, 'Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,
39 Mamih kah Boeipa Pathen loh a khue boeiloeih atah na ca rhoek ham khaw, khohla kah rhoek boeih ham khaw nangmih taengah olkhueh om coeng,”a ti nah.
for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.'
40 Ol tloe nen khaw muep a uen tih amih a hloep vaengah, “Vilvak cadil khui lamkah he daem uh laeh,” a ti nah.
Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, 'Be saved from this perverse generation;'
41 A ol aka dueh rhoek ngawn tah a nuem. Te dongah hnin at dongah hinglu thawngthum tluk thap uh thae.
then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,
42 A om uh vaengah caeltueih rhoek kah thuituennah neh rhoinaengnah, vaidam aehnah neh thangthuinah te a khuituk uh.
and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.
43 Rhihnah loh hinglu boeih taengah cuen tih caeltueih loh khobae rhambae neh miknoek khaw muep a saii uh.
And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles,
44 Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih loh thikat la om uh tih tun boeih cut uh thae.
and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common,
45 Hnopai neh khuehtawn a yoih uh vaengah khaw khat rhip loh a ngoe atah rhip a tael uh.
and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need.
46 Hnin takuem bawkim te huek a khuituk uh. Im lamkah vaidam te khaw a tael uh. Kohoenah neh thinko lunghoih la buh a doe uh.
Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 Pathen a thangthen uh long te pilnam boeih taengah lungvatnah a dang uh bal. Khang la aka om rhoek te khaw a taengla hnin takuem Boeipa loh a thap.
praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.
