Acts 1
1 The first narrative, indeed, made I, concerning all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began both to do and teach, —
Theophila, maa nakaw cauk lamma awh, Jesu a them saikhqi ingkaw a cawngpyinaak,
2 Until the day when, having given command unto the apostles, whom through Holy Spirit he had chosen, he was taken up;
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 Unto whom he also presented himself alive, after he had suffered, by many sure tokens, throughout forty days making himself visible unto them, and speaking the things concerning 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 And being in company with them he charged them, from Jerusalem, not to absent themselves, but—To abide around the promise of the Father which ye have heard of 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 Because, John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, in Holy Spirit shall be immersed, —after not many of these days.
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 They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying—Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel?
Cedawngawh kutoet na ami awm awh doet uhy, “Bawipa, Israel qam ce tuh nang dyih hly sak hawh nawh nu?” tina uhy.
7 He said unto them—It is not yours to get to know times or seasons which the Father hath put in his own authority;
Cekkhqi venawh: “Pa ing amah ak caming a taak atym ingkaw khawnghi ce nangmih nami sim am ngaih hy.
8 But ye shall receive power when the Holy Spirit cometh upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and [in] all Judaea and Samaria and as far as the uttermost part of the land.
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 And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.
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 And, while they were looking steadfastly into heaven as he was going his way, then lo! two men had taken their stand beside them, in white garments, —
Ceamyihna zoehna a awm ce a mi toek huiawh thlang pakkhih, hik baawk bai ing, ami venawh dyi law hy.
11 Who also said—Men of Galilee! why stand ye looking into heaven? This Jesus who hath been taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like manner as ye yourselves have gazed upon him going 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 returned they into Jerusalem, from a mountain called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s journey.
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 And, when they had entered, into the upper-story went they up, where remained behind—both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and 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 These all were giving constant attention with one accord unto the prayer, with [certain] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Cekkhqi ingkaw nukhqi, Jesu a nu Meri ingkaw a naakhqi mi kawlung kutoetna thahlynaak ing cykcah unawh kutoetna awm uhy.
15 And, in these days, Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, —and there was a multitude of names, of one accord, about a hundred and twenty, —
Ce nyn awh ak cangnaak thlangkhqi ak khuiawh Piter taw dyi nawh, (ami cu boeihna siim ingkaw a thong law uhy),
16 Brethren! It was needful for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit spake beforehand through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, —who became guide unto them who apprehended 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 For that he had come to be reckoned among us and obtained the lot of this ministry.—
anih ce ningnih anglakawh paa lawt nawh ve a bibi awm ana bi lawt hy,” tinak khqi hy.
18 This man therefore had possessed himself of a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, —and falling headlong burst asunder in the midst, and forth gushed all his bowels;
(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 And it became known unto all them who were dwelling in Jerusalem, so that that field was called, in their language, Akeldama, that is, 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 For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let his encampment become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein! And—his overseership, let a different man take!
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 It is needful then that, of the men who companied with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out over us,
Cedawngawh Bawipa Jesu ning lakawh a ceh a awm khuiawh,
22 Beginning from the immersion by John until the day when he was taken up from us, that, a witness of his resurrection along with us, should one of these become.
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 And they appointed two, —Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Cedawngawh thlang pakkhih: Joseph ami ti Barsabbas (Justa tinawh awm khy bai uhy) ingkaw Matthia, ce hoep uhy.
24 And, praying, they said—Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen, —of these two, one; —
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 take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went aside, to go his way unto his own place.
Juda ing a cehtaak vawhkaw ceityih bibi ak bi hamna,” tinawh cykcah uhy.
26 And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Cekcoengawh cekqawi ing taicung ce zyk nih saw Matthia ak khanawh tla hy; cedawngawh anih ce ceityih thlanghqa hlaioet ak noet sih uhy.
