Acts 1
1 The first narrative, indeed, made I, concerning all things, O Theophilus, which Jesus began both to do and teach, —
Theophilus awng, amasa laibu ka atna sung ah, Jesus i sep le a hilna theampo a kipat pan in,
2 Until the day when, having given command unto the apostles, whom through Holy Spirit he had chosen, he was taken up;
Ama a ki lakto ni dong, tuazawk Tha Thiangtho tungtawn in a tealsa sawltak te tung ah thupia hi:
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.
A thuak zawkciang in sawltak te in ni sawm li sung Ama mu uh a, Pathian kumpingam taw kisai thu te son hi, Ama nungta tatak hi, ci tetti kho tampi taw lak hi:
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,
Munkhat ah amate taw a ki kaikhop laitak in, Jerusalem pan koima pai ngawl tu in, Keima tung pan na zaksa uh bangma in, Pa i kamciam na ngak vun.
5 Because, John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, in Holy Spirit shall be immersed, —after not many of these days.
Banghangziam cile John in tui taw tuiphumna hong pia takpi hi; ahihang ni tampi ma in Tha Thiangtho i tuiphumna na sang tu uh ci, ci in amate thupia hi.
6 They, therefore, having come together, began to question him, saying—Lord! art thou at this time duly establishing the kingdom unto Israel?
Tua ahikom amate munkhat a a ki kaikhop tek uh ciang in, sawltak te in Jesus kung ah, Topa awng, tu in Israel te tung ah kumpingam na piakik tu ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
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;
Jesus in amate tung ah, Pa in Ama vangletna sung ah a koisa hun le ni te sia, note i heak tu kisam ngawl hi.
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.
Ahihang note tung ah Tha Thiangtho hong thet zawkciang in, vangletna na nga tu uh hi: taciang in Jerusalem le Judah ngamsung theampo, taciang Samaria ngamsung le lei mong a tawp dong in, keima tetti te na hi tu uh hi, ci hi.
9 And having said these things, as they were beholding, he was lifted up, and a cloud caught him away from their eyes.
Taciang hi thu te a son zawkciang, amate in a et uh laitak in, Jesus sia a tungsang ah ki lato a; amate mutang in mei in lia hi.
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, —
Tabang in vantung ah a kato sia mate in a et tek uh laitak in, en vun, amate hui ah puanpak sil in mi ni hong ding hi;
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.
Tua te in, no Galilee mite, banghang in vantung en in ding top lai nu ziam? note kung pan in van ah a ki lato na mu uh bangma in, hongpai kik tu hi, ci uh hi.
12 Then returned they into Jerusalem, from a mountain called Olivet, which is nigh unto Jerusalem a Sabbath day’s journey.
Tua zawkciang in amate Olive mual pan in Jerusalem ah heakkik uh hi, Olive mual sia Jerusalem pan in sabbath ni pai thei na tan khawng khuala hi.
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.
Jerusalem a thet uh ciang in, inn tung doituam ah kato tek uh a, tua mun ah, Peter, James le John, taciang Andrew, Philip le Thomas, Bartholomew le Matthew, Alphaeus tapa James, Simon Zealot, James naupa Judas te om uh hi.
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.
Hiteng a vekpi lungkim in nupi te, Jesus nu Mary le a suapui te taw tatsat ngawl in thungen khawm tek uh hi.
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, —
Taciang in Peter sia a nungzui te, mihing za le kul kiim i laizang ah ding a,
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;
U le nau te awng, Tha Thiangtho in David i kam zangin a sonkholsa, Jesus man tute a makai Judas thu taw kisai in hi laithiangtho sia a tangtun hamtang kul hi.
17 For that he had come to be reckoned among us and obtained the lot of this ministry.—
Banghangziam cile ama sia eite taw a kisim khawm hi a, hi Pathian nasepna sung ah panmun nga hi.
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;
Hisia pa in phatngawlna a vawt man taw lo ciing khat lei hi; taciang a lusuk nuailam in tak in, a pumpi kisantham a, a ngil zong ke keak hi.
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.—
Hi thu sia Jerusalem ah a om theampo in he uh a; tua lo sia amate kam in, Akeldama, ci uh hi, a khiakna sia, thisan lo, a cinopna a hihi.
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!
Banghangziam cile, Psalm labu sung ah, ama omna mun sia awngthong tahen a, a sung ah kuama om heak tahen: taciang a nasep sia midang in la tahen, ci in ki atkhol hi.
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,
Tua ahikom Topa Jesus eite sung ah sungtum le pusuak in a om hunsung theampo ah,
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.
John in tuiphumna a piakpan kipan, eite kung panvan ah a ki lakto ni dong, eite taw a omkhawm te sung pan khatpo sia thawkikna thu eite taw tetti a hi tu in, nasep piak hamtang tu a hihi, ci hi.
23 And they appointed two, —Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Taciang amate in, Barsabas kici a, Justus zong a kici Joseph le Matthias te ni teal uh hi.
24 And, praying, they said—Thou Lord! observer of the hearts of all men! shew forth whom thou hast chosen, —of these two, one; —
Amate in, Topa awng, nangma in mi theampo i thinsung na he hi, hi te ni sung pan kua na teal ziam, ci hong lak tan,
25 To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas went aside, to go his way unto his own place.
Tabang in ama in, thunit ngawlna hang in puk a, ama omna mun ah a pai Judas atu in, hi Pathian nasepna le sawltak te sung ah kihel tu hi, ci in thungen khawm uh hi.
26 And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Taciang amate in aisan uh a; aitang sia Matthias tung ah tak hi; taciang ama sia sawltak sawm le khat te taw kisim khawm hi.
