Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Te vaengah Saul tah Boeipa kah hnukbang rhoek te hihhamnah neh ngawnnah dongah phit pueng.
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Te dongah khosoihham te a paan tih Damasku la, tunim la, longpuei kah a hmuh sarhui, huta khaw tongpa khaw a om atah khih pahoi tih, Jerusalem la thak ham te capat a bih.
3 As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Te phoeiah cet tih Damasku a pha tom vaengah Vaan lamkah vangnah loh anih te buengrhuet a tue.
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
Te vaengah diklai dongla bung tih ol pakhat a yaak tah, “Saul, Saul, balae tih kai nan hnaemtaek?” a ti nah.
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Te dongah, “Nang te ulae Boeipa,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai tah nang loh na hnaemtaek Jesuh ni.
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
Tedae thoo lamtah kho khuila kun laeh. Na saii hamla a kuek te namah taengah han thui bitni,” a ti nah.
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Te vaengah anih neh aka yiin hmaih hlang rhoek loh tangawk la pai uh. Ol tah a yaak uh dae a muei tah hmu uh pawh.
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
Saul loh diklai lamkah a thoh hang vaengah a mik a dai hatah ba khaw hmu pawh. Te dongah anih te a mawt uh tih Damasku la a khuen uh.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Te vaengah hmu voel pawt tih a caak a ok mueh la hnin thum om.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
Te vaengah hnukbang pakhat, a ming ah Ananias te Damasku ah om, Anih te Boeipa loh mangthui neh, “Ananias,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Boeipa ka om he,” a ti nah.
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
Te phoeiah Boeipa loh anih te, “Thoo, imhlai laklo ah a dueng la a khue te paan lamtah, Tarsus hoel, a ming ah Saul te Judas im ah tlap, Anih te thangthui la ko te.
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
A mangthui dongah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Ananias te ha kun tih anih te kut a tloeng thil daengah ni a mik tueng rhoe a tueng eh,” a ti nah.
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
Te dongah Ananias loh, “Boeipa, tekah hlang kawng te hlang taeng lamloh boeih ka yaak coeng. Jerusalem ah na hlangcim taengah a saii te khaw bahoeng thae aih coeng.
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
He ah khaw na ming aka khue rhoek boeih te khih hamla khosoihham rhoek taengkah saithainah a khueh,” a ti nah.
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
Tedae Boeipa loh anih te, “Cet ngawn, anih tah Israel ca rhoek kah manghai rhoek neh namtom rhoek hmaiah ka ming aka phuei la kamah ham a tuek conghol paitaeh la om coeng.
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
Ka ming kongah aka patang ham anih bahoeng a kuek te amah taengah kamah loh ka tueng bitni,” a ti nah.
17 Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Te daengah Ananias loh cet tih im khuila kun. Te phoeiah anih te kut a tloeng thil tih, “Ka manuca Saul, na lo phai vaengkah longpuei ah nang taengla aka phoe Boeipa Jesuh loh kho na hmuh tih Mueihla Cim baetawt sak ham kai n'tueih coeng,” a ti nah.
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
Te vaengah a mik lamkah te a lip bangla hel khaek. Kho khaw a hmuh dongah thoo tih anih te a nuem.
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Te phoeiah cak ok a doe tih a thaa koep sai. Te vaengah Damasku kah hnukbang rhoek taengah khohnin a yol om.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
Te phoeiah Jesuh tah Pathen capa ni tila tunim ah pahoi a hoe.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
Aka hnatun rhoek boeih loh limlum uh tih, “Jerusalem ah Boeipa ming aka phoei rhoek aka thup te anih nim, anih pawt nim. Amih te pin vetih khosoihham rhoek taengah aka thak ham ni he la ha pawk dae,” a ti uh.
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Tedae Saul tah lat thaphoh uh tih Damasku kah Judah khosa rhoek te a huek, Te tah Khrih ni tila a cui sak.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Tedae khohnin muep a di vaengah tah anih te ngawn ham Judah rhoek loh a taeng uh.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Amih kah mangtaengnah te Saul loh a ming. Te vaengah anih ngawn hamla khoyin neh khothaih ah khaw vongka te a tawt uh.
25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Tedae a hnukbang rhoek loh khoyin ah a khuen uh tih voh khuiah a sang uh phoeiah pangbueng longah a colh uh.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Jerusalem la a pawk vaengah hnukbang rhoek taengah kap ham a noemcai hatah anih te boeih a rhih uh. Hnukbang ni tila tangnah uh pawh.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Tedae Barnabas long tah anih te a sambai tih caeltueih rhoek taengla a khuen. Te phoeiah longpuei ah Boeipa a hmuh tih anih a voek te khaw, Damasku ah Jesuh ming dongah a sayalh te khaw amih taengah a thui pah.
28 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
Te dongah Jerusalem kah a voei a bal rhuet ah amih taengah om tih Boeipa ming neh sayalh la a thui.
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Tedae a thui vaengah Hellenist rhoek neh oelh uh thae tih anih te ngawn ham cai uh.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
A manuca rhoek loh a ming dongah anih te Kaisarea la a khuen uh tih Tarsus la a tueih uh.
31 So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Te vaengah Judea, Galilee neh Samaria pum boeih kah hlangboel long khaw ngaimongnah a dang. Boeipa rhihnah neh hlinsai uh tih pongpa uh. Te dongah Cim Mueihla kah thaphohnah neh ping uh.
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Peter khaw khotom rhali aka hil la om tih Lydda kah khosa hlangcim rhoek taeng khaw a pha.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralyzed.
Te vaengah aka khawn tih, phakdoeng dongah kum rhet aka yalh, hlang pakhat, a ming ah Aeneas te a hmuh.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
Peter loh, “Aeneas, Jesuh Khrih loh nang n'hoeih sak coeng. Thoo lamtah namah te khoem uh laeh,” a ti nah vaengah hlat thoo.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Lydda neh Sharon kah khosa rhoek boeih loh anih te a hmuh uh vaengah Boeipa taengla bal uh.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
Joppa ah khaw hnukbang pakhat, a ming ah Tabitha te om van. Te te Dorkas a ti tih a thuicaih. Anih tah khoboe then neh a soep la om tih doedannah khaw a saii.
37 In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Tedae a khohnin a pha vaengah tah anih te tlo tih duek. Te dongah anih te tui a hluk uh tih imhman ah a khueh uh.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
Lydda neh Joppa he tah rhep a om dongah hnukbang rhoek loh Peter a om te a yaak uh. Te dongah hlang panit te a tueih uh tih, “Uelh mueh la kaimih taengah hang hil dae,” tila a tah uh.
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Te dongah Peter te thoo tih amih te a puei. Anih a pha vaengah imhman la ana khuen uh. Anih a pai vanneh nuhmai rhoek loh boeih rhap uh tih Dorkas loh amih taengkah om vaengkah a saii angki neh himbai boeih te a tueng uh.
40 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Tedae Peter loh poengla boeih a tueih tih khuklu cungkueng doela thangthui. Te phoeiah rhok taengla mael tih, “Tabitha, thoo,” a ti nah. Anih long khaw a mik te a dai hatah Peter te a hmuh tih koe ngol.
41 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Te phoeiah anih te kut a doe tih a thoh. Hlangcim rhoek neh nuhmai rhoek te a khue tih Dorkas a hing te a tueng.
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Joppa kah tom boeih loh a ming la om coeng dongah hlang te yet loh Boeipa te a tangnah uh.
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Te vaengkah khohnin te yet a om khuiah Joppa kah hlang pakhat maehpho Simon taengah puet naeh.
