Acts 9
1 But, Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, going unto the High-priest,
Taciang Saul in Topa nungzui te that tu in nasiatak in tawng tawntung lai a, thiampi sang pa kung ah pai in,
2 asked from him letters for Damascus, unto the synagogues; to the end that, if he should find, any, who were of The Way, whether men or women, he might bring them, bound, unto Jerusalem.
Ama tung pan in, Damascus synagogue te tung piak tu lai te ngen hi, tua mun ah Topa lampi zui te a mu le, numei pasal ci ngawl, hen in Jerusalem ah paipui sawm hi.
3 But, as he was journeying, it came to pass that he was drawing near unto Damascus, and, suddenly, there flashed around him a light out of heaven;
Saul ama sia khualhaw in, Damascus a thet dektak ciang, thakhatthu in van pan khuavak in a kimkot teng tan hi:
4 And, falling unto the earth, he heard a voice saying unto him—Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting?
Ama sia lei ah pusuk a, Saul, Saul, banghang hong vawtsia ni ziam? ci aw za hi.
5 And he said—Who art thou, Lord? And, he, [said] —I, am Jesus, whom, thou, art persecuting!
Saul in, Topa awng, akua ni ziam? ci hi. Taciang Topa in, Keima sia na vawtsiat Jesus khi hi: nangma atu in a zum khat sui sia thuakhak mama hi, ci hi.
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Taciang ama sia ling va dil le laukawm in, Topa awng, bang hong vawtsak nuam ni ziam? ci hi. Taciang Topa in ama tung ah, Ding in a, khuapi sung ah pai in, taciang na vawt hamtang tu thu kong son tu hi, ci hi.
7 But, the men who were accompanying him, stood speechless, —hearing, indeed, the voice, but beholding no one.
Taciang ama taw khualhaw te in aw nging za uh hinapi, mihing khat zong mu ngawl uh a hikom kamkhat zong pau ngawl in ding uh hi.
8 And Saul arose from the earth, and, his eyes being opened, he could see nothing; and, taking him by the hand, they led him into Damascus, —
Saul sia lei pan tho to a; a mit a ha ciang in, mihing kuama mu ngawl hi: ahihang amate in a khut pan kai a, Damascus khua sung ah paipui hi.
9 And he was three days without seeing, and did neither eat nor drink.
Taciang ni thum sung khua mu ngawl a, an ne ngawl in tui zong dawn ngawl hi.
10 Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias; and, the Lord, said unto him in a vision—Ananias! And, he, said—Lo! I, [am here], Lord!
Damascus khuasung ah Ananias a kici nungzui khat om hi; taciang Topa in mangmusak na sung pan in ama kung ah, Ananias awng, ci hi. Taciang ama in, en in, Topa awng, keima hiak ah ka om hi, ci hi.
11 And the Lord [said] unto him—Rise! go into the street which is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, one Saul, by name, of Tarsus. For lo! he is praying, —
Topa in ama tung ah, Ding in a, a Tang, a kici lampi ah pai tan, taciang Judah inn ah Tarsus khuami, Saul a kici mi khat zong in: banghangziam cile, en in, ama thungen in om hi,
12 And hath seen a man [in a vision], Ananias by name, coming in and laying on him his hands, to the intent he should see.
Taciang ama in Ananias a kici mi khat tum a, khua a mu thei natu in, ama tung ah a khut a ngak sia mangmu na sung ah mu zo hi, ci hi.
13 And Ananias, answered—Lord! I have heard from many concerning this man, how many evil things unto thy saints he hath done in Jerusalem;
Ananias in, Topa awng, Jerusalem ah na mithiangtho te kung ah phat ngawlna a vawt bangza in tam ci, hisia pa thu mi tampi te tung pan in ka za zo hi:
14 And, here, he hath authority from the High-priests to bind all them that call upon thy name.
Taciang na min hong sam theampo hen tu in thiampi lian te tung pan thuneina nei hi, ci in zo hi.
15 But the Lord said unto him—Be going thy way; for, a choice vessel unto me, is this man, to bear my name before both [the] nations and kings, and the sons of Israel;
Ahihang Topa in Ananias tung ah, Pai in, banghangziam cile ama sia keima atu in a kiteal beal hi a, Gentile mite, kumpi te le Israel tate mai ah ka min a pua tu pa hi:
16 For, I, will let him understand how many things he must needs, for my name, suffer.
Banghangziam cile keima in ama sia ka min hang in a thuak hamtang tu te bangza in lian ziam, ci sia kong lak tu hi, ci hi.
17 And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and, laying upon him his hands, said—Saul, brother! The Lord, hath sent me, —Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way by which thou wast coming, —that thou mayest recover sight, and be filled with Holy Spirit.
Taciang Ananias pai a, inn sung ah tum hi; Saul tung ah a khut nga a, suapui pa Saul awng, khua mu in, Tha Thiangtho taw na dim thei natu, nong pai na lampi, na tung ah hong kilang Topa Jesus in hong sawl hi, ci hi.
18 And, straightway, there fell from him—from his eyes, —as it were scales; he recovered sight also, and, arising, was immersed:
Tasia pociang in Saul i mit pan in ngasalip bang khat tak a: thakhatthu in khuamu hi, taciang ding a, tui ki phum hi.
19 And, receiving food, gained strength. And he came to be with the disciples who were in Damascus certain days;
Saul sia an a neak zawkciang in, thadim hi. Tua zawkciang in Damascus ah nungzui te taw ni tampi sung omkhawm uh hi.
20 And, straightway, in the synagogues, he began proclaiming Jesus, that, This, is the Son of God.
Tasia pociang in synagogue sung ah Christ sia Pathian Tapa hi, ci in thuhil hi.
21 And all who were hearing were astonished, and began to say—is not, this, he who destroyed, in Jerusalem, them that invoke this name; and, here, for this purpose, had come, in order that he might lead them, bound, unto the High-priests?
Ahihang a zate theampo in lamdangsa mama uh a, ama sia Jerusalem ah Jesus min a lo te theampo a susia pa hi ngawl ziam, amate a hen zawkciang, thiampi lian te kung ah a paipui nop hang hi ngawl ziam? ci uh hi.
22 But, Saul, was the more gaining power; and was confounding the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, shewing, by comparison, that—This, is the Christ.
Ahihang Saul sia thahat seseam a, Jesus in Christ a hihi, ci a pualak hu in, Damascus a om Judah mite buaisak mama hi.
23 Now, when a considerable number of days were being fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Ni tampi a cin zawkciang in, Judah mite in ama that tu in kikum khawm uh hi.
24 But their plot was made known unto Saul, —and they were even narrowly watching the gates, both day and night, that they might kill him;
Ahihang amate i pan hunlam Saul in he hi. Taciang amate in Saul that tu in kongpi te sun taw zan taw cing uh hi.
25 But the disciples, taking him by night, through the wall, let him down, lowering him in a basket.
Tua zawkciang in nungzui te in Saul sia zan in paipui uh a, bawm taw luphung pan in khiasuk uh hi.
26 And, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he made attempts to join himself unto the disciples; and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Saul sia Jerusalem a thet ciang in, nungzui te taw kikop sawm hi: ahihang amate in Saul sia nungzui hi, ci um ngawl in lau uh hi.
27 But, Barnabas, taking him, brought him unto the apostles, and related unto them, —how, in the way, he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken unto him; and how, in Damascus, he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
Ahihang Barnabas in panpui a, sawltak te kung ah paipui hi, taciang lampi ah ama in Topa mu a, Topa zong in ama paupui hi, ci le, Damascus ah Jesus min taw hangsantak in Pathian thuhil hi, ci amate tung ah tangko hi.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord;
Taciang Saul sia Jerusalem ah amate taw sungtum le pusuak in omtek uh hi.
29 And was both speaking and discussing with the Grecian Jews, —but, they, were setting to work to kill him.
Taciang Topa Jesus min taw hangsantak in thuhil a, Greek mite taw ki nial uhhi: tua ahikom amate in Saul that nuam uh hi.
30 And the brethren, discovering it, brought him down into Caesarea, and sent him away unto Tarsus.
Tua thu suapui te in a heak uh ciang in, Caesaria ah paipui uh a, Tarsus ah puak uh hi.
31 So then, the assembly throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, had peace, building itself up, and going on its way in the fear of the Lord; and, by the advocacy of the Holy Spirit, was being multiplied.
Tua zawkciang in Judah ngam, Galilee ngam le Samaria ngam theampo ah pawlpi te thinnopna taw kiptak in om uh hi; taciang Topa zatakna le Tha Thiangtho henepna sung ah nungta in, khangto uh hi.
32 And it came to pass that, Peter, going through all [quarters] went down unto the saints also dwelling in Lydda.
Peter sia mun tatuam ah khualhaw a, Lydda khua a om mithiangtho te kung theng hi.
33 And he found there a certain man, by name Aeneas, who, for eight years, had been lying prostrate upon a bed, for he was paralysed.
Tua mun ah Aeneas a kici khat taw ki mu hi, ama sia a pumzaw a, lupmun tung ah kum liat sung tho thei ngawl in lum hi.
34 And Peter said unto him—Aeneas! Jesus Christ healeth thee! Arise, and smooth thy bed for thyself. And, straightway, he arose.
Peter in ama tung ah, Aeneas awng, Jesus Christ in hong damsak hi: tho in a, na lupna zial in, ci hi. Tasia pociang in tho hi.
35 And all who dwelt in Lydda and Saron, saw him, —and, they, turned unto the Lord.
Taciang Lydda le Sharon ah a om theampo in mu uh a, Topa sang ah heakkik uh hi.
36 Now, in Joppa, there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which, being translated, means Dorcas [a Gazelle]. The same, was full of good works and alms which she was doing.
Tu in Joppa khua ah Tabitha a kici nungzui khat om hi. Tabitha a khiakna sia Dorcas a cinopna a hihi: hi numei in na pha tampi vawt a, mizawng tampi hu hi.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she, sickening, died; and, bathing her, they laid her in an upper room.
Tua ni in, ama sia a cina in thi hi: taciang amate in a luang a sil zawk uh ciang, inn tung doituam ah sial uh hi.
38 Now, Lydda being nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was therein, sent off two men unto him, beseeching him—Do not delay to come through unto us!
Lydda sia Joppa taw kinai ahikom in nungzui te in Peter tua mun ah om hi, ci za uh a, manlangtak in hongpai natu in, mihing sawl in sam uh hi.
39 And Peter, arising, went with them, —whom, when he arrived, they brought up into the upper room; and there stood by him all the widows, weeping, and showing the tunics and mantles—whatsoever things Dorcas was making while she was with them.
Taciang Peter ding in amate taw pai hi. A thet uh ciang in Peter sia inntung doituam ah paipui uh hi: tua mun ah meingong te theampo a hui ah ding in kap lialua uh a, a nuntaklai a ta laktong le puan te zong lak hi.
40 But Peter, putting them all outside, knelt down and prayed; and, turning towards the body, said—Tabitha, arise! And she, opening her eyes and seeing Peter, sat up.
Peter in amate pusuaksak siat a, khupdin in thu a nget zawkciang, a luang sang ah kihei in, Tabitha, tho in, ci hi. Taciang a mit hong hak a: Peter a mu ciang in, to hi.
41 And, giving her his hand, he raised her up; and, calling the saints and the widows, presented her, living.
Peter in a khut thak in kaito a, mithiangtho te le meingong te a sap zawkciang in, a nungta in ap hi.
42 And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed upon the Lord.
Tua thu sia Joppa khua sung theampo ah thang a; mi tampi in Topa um uh hi.
43 And it came to pass that, for a considerable number of days, he abode in Joppa, with one Simon, a tanner.
Peter sia Joppa khua ah savun vawtpa Simon kung ah ni tampi sung om hi.
