Acts 11

1 Now the Apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judaea heard that, the nations also, had welcomed the word of God.

Gentile te in zong Pathian thu sang zo uh hi, ci Judah ngamsung ah a om sawltak te le suapui te in za uh hi.

2 And, when Peter came up unto Jerusalem, they of the circumcision began to find fault with him,

Taciang Peter sia Jerusalem ah a thet ciang in, vunteap tan te in ama nalh uh a,

3 Saying—he went in unto men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.

Vunteap at ngawl te kung ah na pai a, amate taw an na ne hi, ci uh hi.

4 But Peter, making a beginning, went on to set forth the matter unto them in order, saying—

Ahihang Peter in tua thu sia a kipat pan in sonkik a, a ban a ban in amate son siat hi,

5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and saw in a trance, a vision: —coming down a sort of vessel, like a large sheet, by four corners, being let down out of heaven, and it came even unto me:

Joppa khua ah thu ka nget laitak in, mang ka mu na sung ah, puanlam zai mama taw a kibang kingli nei na koina khat van pan hong ki khiasuk a, ka kung ah hong theng hi:

6 Into which steadfastly looking, began to observe, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of heaven.

A tung ah phatak in ka en a, ka ngaisut ciang in, a sung ah leitung nganhing peang li nei a tatuam, sapi te, a bokvak te le van a leang vacim te ka mu hi.

7 Moreover heard a voice also, saying unto me—Rise, Peter! slay and eat.

Taciang aw khat ka za a, Peter awng, tho in, ngo in a, ne in, hong ci hi.

8 But I said—By no means, Lord, because, a common or unclean thing, hath at no time entered into my mouth.

Ahihang keima in, hi ngawl hi, Topa awng: banghangziam cile a nin, ahible, a thiangtho ngawl peuma ka kamsung ah bangmahun in tum ngei ngawl hi, ka ci hi.

9 And a voice answered, a second time, out of heaven—What things, God, hath cleansed, be not, thou, making common.

Ahihang van pan in tua aw in, Pathian i a thianthosak te nangma in nin hi ci heak in, ci in hong zo kik hi.

10 And, this, took place thrice, —and the whole was drawn up again into heaven;

Hisia bang in thumvei dong hong ci hi: taciang a vekpi in van ah lato kik siat hi.

11 And lo! immediately, three men halted at the house wherein we were, sent from Caesarea unto me.

Taciang, en vun, tasia pociang in Caesarea pan hong kisawl mihing thum te sia ka omna mun inn ah hong theng uh hi.

12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also; and we entered into the house of the man,

Taciang in bangma ngaisun nawn ngawl in amate taw pai tu in Thaa in hong sawl hi. Tuabek domngawl in hi suapui luk te in hong zui uh hi, taciang Corneliua innsung ah tum tek khu hi:

13 And he related to us how he had seen the messenger in his house, standing, and saying—Send away unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter;

Taciang Cornelius in a innsung ah vantungmi a mu na thu hong son hi, tua vantungmi sia ding a a kung ah, Joppa khua ah mi sawl in a, Peter a kici Simon sam in;

14 Who shall speak words unto thee, whereby thou shall be saved, thou, and all thy house.

Ama in thu hong hil tu a, tabang in nangma le na innkuan bup in ngupna na nga tu uh hi, ci in son hi.

15 And, as I began to be speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also at the beginning.

Taciang thuhil ka kipan a, a kipat in kote tung ah Tha Thiangtho hong thet bangma in amate tung zong ah theng hi.

16 And I was put in mind of the word of the Lord, how he used to say—John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, shall be immersed in Holy Spirit.

Tua zawkciang in, John in tui taw tuiphumna hong pia takpi hi; ahihang note Tha Thiangtho taw tuiphumna na sang tu uh hi, a ci Topa kammal ka phawkkik hi.

17 If therefore the like free-gift God gave unto them, as even unto us, when we had believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who was, I, that could withstand God?

Banghangziam cile Pathian in Topa Jesus Christ a um te tung ah letsong a piak sia, kote hongpiak taw a kibang a hihi; Pathian khak zo tu in keima sia akua khi ziam? ci hi.

18 And, having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying—Hence, even unto the nations, God hath granted repentance unto life.

Amate in hi thu te a zak uh ciang in, thim khipkhep in om uh a, Pathian in Gentile mite zong nuntakna atu maw ki sikkik na pia zohi, ci in Pathian poktek uh hi.

19 They, therefore, who had been scattered abroad by reason of the tribulation that took place on account of Stephen, passed through as far as Phoenice and Cyprus and Antioch, unto no one speaking the word, save alone unto Jews.

Stephen thu pan vawtsiatna hang in mun tatuam ah a ki thethang te sia, Phoenicia, Cyprus le Antioch ciang dong pai a, Pathian thu midang te tung ah hil ngawl in Judah mite tung bek ah hil hi.

20 And there were some from among them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who, indeed, coming unto Antioch, began speaking, even unto the Grecian Jews, announcing the glad tidings as to the Lord Jesus;

Ahihang Cyprus le Cyrene a om mi pawlkhat te in, Antioch a thet ciang in, Greek te paupui a, Topa Jesus thuhil hi.

21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number—they who believed—turned unto the Lord.

Taciang Topa khut amate tung ah om hi: tabang in mi tampi te in um uh a, Topa kung ah hong heakkik uh hi.

22 And the matter was reported in the hearing of the assembly that was in Jerusalem, concerning them; and they sent forth Barnabas, as far as Antioch;

Tua zawkciang in hi thupha sia Jerusalem pawlpi dong ah hong theng hi: taciang amate in Barnabas sia Antioch dong pai tu in sawl uh hi.

23 Who, arriving, and seeing the favour which was of God, rejoiced, and went on to beseech all, with the purpose of their heart, to abide [in] the Lord;

Barnabas sia Antioch a thet ciang in Pathian i hesuakna mu a, angtang mama hi, taciang amate theampo in thinsung ngealna taw Topa beal tu in hanthawn hi.

24 Because he was a good man, and full of Holy Spirit and faith; and a considerable multitude were added unto the Lord.

Banghangziam cile Barnabas sia mipha hi a, Tha Thiangtho le upna taw kidim hi: taciang mi tampi te Topa kung ah kibelap hi.

25 He went away, however, unto Tarsus, to seek up Saul;

Tua zawkciang in Barnabas sia Saul zong tu in Tarsus ah pai hi:

26 And, finding him, he brought him unto Antioch. And so it was with them, that, for a whole year, they were brought together in the assembly, and taught a considerable multitude; also that the disciples, first in Antioch, were called, Christians.

A mu ngawl ciang in Antioch ah paipui hi. Ama te sia kum khat sung buppi pawlpi taw kikhawm uh a, mi tampi te thuhil hi. Taciang nungzui te sia, Christian te, a kici phitbel na sia Antioch khua ah a hihi.

27 Now, in these days, there came down from Jerusalem, prophets, unto Antioch.

Tua hun sung in kamsang te sia Jerusalem pan in Antioch ah hongpai uh hi.

28 And one from among them, by name Agabus, rising up, gave a sign, through means of the Spirit, that, a great famine, was coming over all the inhabited earth; which, indeed, came to pass under Claudius.

Amate sung pan Agabus a kici kamsang khat hong ding a, leitung mun theampo ah kialpi tung tu hi, ci in thaa in telsak hi: tua kialpi sia Claudius Caesar hun lai in tung hi.

29 And, according as any one of the disciples was being prospered, they each one of them set apart [something] for ministering, to send unto the brethren, who dwelt in Jerusalem; —

Nungzui te in amate hi thei za tek taw Judah ngam a om suapui te hu na thak tu in khensatna nei tek uh a:

30 Which thing they also did, sending it unto the Elders, through the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

Amate in upa te kung ah Barnabas le Saul te khut tungtawn in thak uh hi.
