Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Hat hnin roeroe vah Jerusalem e kawhmoun thungvah rektapnae a tâco. Gunceinaw hoeh e pueng teh Judah ram hoi Samaria ram lah koung a kampek awh.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
Cathutlae taminaw ni Stiven e a ro teh kahawicalah a kuem awh teh puenghoi a khuikakhai awh.
3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and dragging off men and women committed them to prison.
Sawl ni im buet touh hnukkhu buet touh a luen teh, ka yuem e napui tongpanaw hah a man teh thongim a paung teh kawhmoun hah a raphoe.
4 Therefore they that were scattered went every where preaching the word.
Voivang lah kâkapek e naw ni lawkkatang teh yuengyoe a pâpho awh.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them.
Filip hai Samaria ram e kho buet touh dawk a cei teh Khrih e kong hah a pâpho van.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he was performing.
Tami pueng ni Filip ni a sak e kângairuhnonaw hah a hmu awh navah ahnie a pâpho e naw hah rip a thai awh.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed and many sick with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
Bangkongtetpawiteh tami moikapap koe kaawm e kakhine muithanaw teh hramki laihoi a tâco awh. Kamkhuen e hoi khokkhemnaw hai moikapap a dam awh.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Hatdawkvah, hote kho thungvah lunghawinae kalenpoung a tawn awh.
9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, who before in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he was some great person:
Hote kho dawk Simon tie tami buet touh ao. Ahni teh camthoum e lahoi yah. Samaria taminaw koe kângairu ka sak thai e tami doeh telah a mahoima ouk a kâdei.
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Camo matawng pueng ni hete tami teh ka lentoe Cathut e bahu doeh ati awh.
11 And to him they had regard, because that for a long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Ahnimouh ni bangkongmaw a yuem awh, tetpawiteh cam thoum e lahoi kumtha moi kasawlah ahnimouh koe kângairunae a sak dawk doeh.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Hatei, Filip ni Cathut uknaeram hoi Jisuh Khrih e min hah a pâpho navah taminaw ni a yuem awh teh, tongpanaw dueng laipalah napuinaw hai tui baptisma a coe awh.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and was amazed, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Simon ama hai a yuem dawkvah tui baptisma a coe teh Filip koe a kâbang. Mitnoutnae hoi kângairuhnonaw hah a hmu awh teh kângairu laihoi hmawn a ngam awh.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:
Samaria taminaw ni Cathut a yuem awh toe tie hah Jerusalem khopui kaawm e gunceinaw ni a thai awh navah, Piter hoi Jawhan teh ahnimouh koe a patoun awh.
15 Who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:
Ahnimouh roi a pha toteh, Kathoung Muitha ahnimouh ni a coe thai awh nahanlah a ratoum pouh roi.
16 ( For as yet he had fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh Jisuh min lahoi tui baptisma dueng heh a coe awh rah dawkvah, ahnimouh thung dawk api koehai Kathoung Muitha a pha hoeh rah dawk doeh.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Hahoi, Piter hoi Jawhan ni ahnimae van kut a toung hnukkhu ahnimouh teh Kathoung Muitha a coe awh.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
Gunceinaw ni kut toung sin e lahoi taminaw ni Kathoung Muitha a coe awh e heh, Simon ni a hmu navah, gunceinaw koe tangka a sin teh,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
kai ni kut ka toung sin e tami pueng ni Kathoung Muitha a coe awh nahanelah, het patetlah e hnosakthainae hah kai hai na poe haw atipouh.
20 But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Hatnavah Piter ni nang ni Cathut e lungmanae hah tangka hoi ran thai telah na pouk dawkvah nama hoi na tangka teh mek kamko naseh.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
Na lungthin teh Cathut hmalah a lan hoeh dawkvah hete thaw dawk nang teh na tawk thai hoeh, nange na ham hai awm hoeh.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
Hatdawkvah, na pouknae kahawihoehe hah pankângai nateh Bawipa koe ratoum haw. Hottelah na tetpawiteh na pouknae kahawihoehe naw Bawipa ni doum na ngaithoum yawkaw han doeh.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
Bangkongtetpawiteh nang teh utnae hoi na kawi teh yon thongkabawt e lah na o e hah ka hmu telah atipouh.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
Simon ni, nangmouh ni na dei e buet touh boehai kai koe a pha hoeh nahanlah Bawipa koe na ratoum pouh awh telah bout a dei pouh.
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
Piter hoi Jawhan teh Bawipa e lawkkatang a kampang laihoi a pâpho roi hnukkhu, Samaria ram thung e khonaw koe kamthang kahawi a pâpho roi teh Jerusalem lah bout a ban roi.
26 And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert.
Hahoi Cathut e kalvantami ni Filip koe thaw nateh Jerusalem hoi Gaza kho lah cathuknae lam dawk akalah cet loe atipouh. Hote lamthung teh thingyeiyawn lamthung lah ao.
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
Hatdawkvah, Filip ni a thaw teh a cei. Hatnavah Ethiopia siangpahrangnu Kandeis e bawi lah kaawm ni teh siangpahrangnu e kâtawnnae kalen lah kaawm e Ethiopia tami buet touh teh,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.
Jerusalem vah bawknae a sak hnukkhu a ban navah amae rangleng van hoi profet Isaiah e Cakathoung hah a touk.
29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
Hatnavah Kathoung Muitha ni Filip koevah hote rangleng koe cet nateh hnai haw atipouh.
30 And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Filip ni hai rek a yawng sin. Ahni teh profet Isaiah ni a thut e heh vawtvawt a la touk. Filip ni, na touk e hah na thai panuek maw atipouh.
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he besought Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Hote bawi ni na ka dei pouh e awmhoeh pawiteh bangtelamaw ka thaipanuek han ati teh Filip heh ama koe reirei tahung hanelah a coun.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth:
Ahni ni a touk e teh, ahni teh thei hanlah sut hmoun e tu patetlah a hrawi awh. Tuca ni muen ngaw navah a hram hoeh e patetlah hram laipalah ao.
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
A dudam awh navah, ahni kampangkhai api awm hoeh. A hringnae teh talai van hoi takhoe lah ao dawkvah a catoun hah apinimaw bout a dei thai han va tie doeh.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Hahoi bawi ni Filip hanelah na pacei haw nei, profet ni api e kong maw hettelah a dei aw. Ama e kong ma aw. Hoeh teh alouke buet buet touh e kong ma aw atipouh.
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.
Hatteh Filip ni hote kongnaw hno lahoi Jisuh e kamthang hah a dei pouh.
36 And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Ahnimouh teh pou a cei awh navah tui koe a pha awh teh bawi ni tui baptisma ka hmu hoeh nahanelah bang ni maw kai na rakhan telah a ti.
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Filip ni, na lungthin abuemlahoi na yuem pawiteh tui baptisma na hmu han, telah atipouh. Jisuh Khrih teh Cathut capa doeh tie hah ka yuem telah a ti.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Hahoi, bawi ni rangleng kâhat hanelah kâ a poe hnukkhu, tui dawk a cei roi teh, Filip ni tui baptisma a poe.
39 And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Tui thung hoi bout a tâco roi toteh, Bawipa e Kathoung Muitha ni Filip teh oun a tawm teh, hote bawi ni hmawt hoeh toe. Hateiteh, lunghawi laihoi amae lamthung dawk pou a cei.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
Filip teh Azotus kho a tâco teh, Kaisarea ram totouh kho tangkuem Cathut e kamthang kahawi a pâpho.
