Acts 1
1 Dear Theophilus, in my previous book I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning
Theophila, maa nakaw cauk lamma awh, Jesu a them saikhqi ingkaw a cawngpyinaak,
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven. This was after he'd given instructions through the Holy Spirit to his chosen apostles.
amah ing ak tyh ceityihkhqi venawh Ciim Myihla ak caming awi yyn nawh, khawk khana kaaina a awm hlan dy awhkaw awi ak kqawn peek khqi ce qee law hawh nyng.
3 Over the course of forty days after the death he suffered, he showed himself to them, proving that he was alive with convincing evidence. He appeared to them, and told them about the kingdom of God.
Khuikhanaak a huh coengawh, vawhkaw thlangkhqi venawh hatnaak khawzah ing amah taw hqing hy tice dang sak hy. Khawnghi phlikip khuiawh dang pe nawh a mingmih a venawh Khawsa qam akawng ce kqawn pehy.
4 While he was still with them he instructed them, “Do not leave Jerusalem. Wait to receive what the Father promised, just as you heard it from me.
Hypboet taw a mingmih mi buh ami ai haih awh vawhkaw awi ve pehy: “Kai ing kak kqawn law za uhyk ti, Pa ak awikam ce qeh unawh taw Jerusalem ve koeh cehtaak kawm uk ti.
5 It's true that John baptized with water, but in just a few days' time you will be baptized by the Holy Spirit.”
Ikawtih Johan ingtaw tui ing baptisma ce pehy, cehlai khawnghi iqyt a dii hlanawh nangmih ing Cii Myihla ing baptisma ce hu kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
6 So when the disciples met with Jesus, they asked him, “Lord, is this the time when you will re-establish Israel's kingdom?”
Cedawngawh kutoet na ami awm awh doet uhy, “Bawipa, Israel qam ce tuh nang dyih hly sak hawh nawh nu?” tina uhy.
7 “You don't need to know about the dates and times that are set by the Father's authority,” he told them.
Cekkhqi venawh: “Pa ing amah ak caming a taak atym ingkaw khawnghi ce nangmih nami sim am ngaih hy.
8 “But you will be given power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest places on earth.”
Cehlai Ciim Myihla ce nangmih ak khanawh a pha law awhtaw thaawmnaak ta kawm uk ti; cawh nangmih taw Jerusalem, Judah qam boeih ingkaw Samari qam khawmdek a dytnaak dyna kai a dyihthing na awm kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
9 After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
Ve ak awi ak kqawn coengawh, a mingmih a mik huh awh khawk khan na zoek nace awm nawh, a mami huh thainaak dyna myi ing khyn zip hy.
10 While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them.
Ceamyihna zoehna a awm ce a mi toek huiawh thlang pakkhih, hik baawk bai ing, ami venawh dyi law hy.
11 “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?” they asked. “This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”
Cekkqawi ing, “Klili thlangkhqi, ikawtih khanna mang unawh naming dyih khing? Khanna a kaai nami huh amyihna amah qoe a hu voei law tlaih kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
12 Then the disciples went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives which is about a Sabbath day's walk from Jerusalem.
Cekcoengawh, Olive tlang ami ti awhkawng Jerusalem khawna voei uhy; ce tlang taw Jerusalem khaw kengawh awm nawh, Sabbath nynawh khin cehnaak khoek ni a hla hy.
13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the upper room where they were staying: Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Ami pha awh, ami awmnaak khawi ipkhan na ce kaai uhy. Cawhkaw ak awmkhqi taw, Piter, Johan, Jakob ingkaw Mathai, Alpheaus a capa Jakob ingkaw Zealot tinawh amik khy Simon, Jakob a capa Juda, vetloek ve awm uhy.
14 They all joined together in prayer, together with the women and Mary, Jesus' mother, and his brothers.
Cekkhqi ingkaw nukhqi, Jesu a nu Meri ingkaw a naakhqi mi kawlung kutoetna thahlynaak ing cykcah unawh kutoetna awm uhy.
15 At this time Peter stood up and addressed a crowd of around one hundred and twenty believers who had gathered together.
Ce nyn awh ak cangnaak thlangkhqi ak khuiawh Piter taw dyi nawh, (ami cu boeihna siim ingkaw a thong law uhy),
16 “My brothers and sisters,” he said, “The Scriptures, spoken by the Holy Spirit through David, had to be fulfilled regarding Judas, who guided those who arrested Jesus.
“Koeinaakhqi, thlang a kut awh Jesu ak peekung Juda akawng awh, syn awh Ciim Myihla ing David am khaawh anak kqawn Cakciim awi ce a soep aham awm hy-
17 He was counted as one of us, and shared in this ministry.”
anih ce ningnih anglakawh paa lawt nawh ve a bibi awm ana bi lawt hy,” tinak khqi hy.
18 (Judas had bought a field with his ill-gotten gains. There he fell down headfirst, and his body burst apart, spilling out all his intestines.
(Cek thlang ing a khawboe seet phu a huh ing lo hun ce thlai hy; cawh ce ak chut tling na tla nawh, ak phoen ce pawk nawh ak khqikhqi awm a lengna cawn boeih hy.
19 Everybody who lived in Jerusalem heard about this so that the field was called in their language “Akeldama,” which means, “Field of blood.”)
Jerusalem awh ak awmkhqi boeih ing ce awithang ce za unawh, ce a lo hun ce a mimah ak awi na, 'Akeldama,' ti unawh, cetaw, 'Thi khawhun, tinaak ni.)
20 As it's written in the book of Psalms, “Let his home be abandoned, and no-one live there;” and “Let someone else take over his position.”
Saam cauk awh vemyihna qeena awm hy, ‘Anih a awmnaak ce thlang ing cehta seitaw ak khuiawh uawm koeh awm seh nyng,’ ti ingkaw, ‘Sawikung anihnaak thlang chang ing ham seh nyng,' ti ce.
21 “So now we have to choose someone who has been with us the whole time that Jesus was with us,
Cedawngawh Bawipa Jesu ning lakawh a ceh a awm khuiawh,
22 from the time John was baptizing up until the day Jesus was taken up to heaven from us. One of these must be chosen to join together with us as we witness, giving evidence of Jesus' resurrection.”
Johan a baptisma ak kqannaak awhkawng Jesu khawk khan na a kaai dy nangmih anglakawh ak awm poepa ak khui awhkaw a thawhtlaihnaak anik sim pyi khqi hamna thlang pynoet a awm ngaih hy,’ tihy.
23 Two names were put forward: Joseph Justus, also known as Barsabbas, and Matthias.
Cedawngawh thlang pakkhih: Joseph ami ti Barsabbas (Justa tinawh awm khy bai uhy) ingkaw Matthia, ce hoep uhy.
24 They prayed together and said, “Lord, you know everyone's thoughts please show us which of these two you have chosen
Cekcoengawh, “Bawipa, nang, thlak kawlung boeih ak simkung, ve ak thlang pakkhih ak khuiawh nang ing nak tyh ce nim huh khqi lah,
25 to replace Judas as an apostle in this ministry that he gave up to go to where he belongs.”
Juda ing a cehtaak vawhkaw ceityih bibi ak bi hamna,” tinawh cykcah uhy.
26 They cast lots, and Matthias was chosen. He was counted as an apostle with the other eleven.
Cekcoengawh cekqawi ing taicung ce zyk nih saw Matthia ak khanawh tla hy; cedawngawh anih ce ceityih thlanghqa hlaioet ak noet sih uhy.
