Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that 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 he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
Ama a ki lakto ni dong, tuazawk Tha Thiangtho tungtawn in a tealsa sawltak te tung ah thupia hi:
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to 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 assembled with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard from 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 For John truly baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
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 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to 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 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
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, after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
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 when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
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 looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
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, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus, who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go 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 they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from 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 come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother 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 continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the 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 those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of the names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
Taciang in Peter sia a nungzui te, mihing za le kul kiim i laizang ah ding a,
16 Men, brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took 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 he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
Banghangziam cile ama sia eite taw a kisim khawm hi a, hi Pathian nasepna sung ah panmun nga hi.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
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 was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; therefore that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The 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 habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and his office let another 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 Therefore of these men who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Tua ahikom Topa Jesus eite sung ah sungtum le pusuak in a om hunsung theampo ah,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
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 Barsabas, 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 they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen,
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 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to 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 forth their lots; 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.
