Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
1Te vaengkah Barnabas neh Niger la a khue Simeon, Kurena hoel Lukia, khoboei Herod kah thawnpuei Manaen neh Saul te Antiok kah aka poe hlangboel taengah tonghma neh saya la om uh.
2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
2Amih khaw Boeipa taengkah thothueng neh a yaeh uh vaengah Mueihla Cim loh , “Barnabas neh Sual tah kai ham hoep uh laeh. Amih rhoi te kamah bibi ham ni ka khue,” a ti nah.
3And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
3Te dongah caak yaeh neh aka thangthui rhoek loh amih rhoi te kut a tloeng thil uh tih a tueih uh.
4So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
4Te phoeiah Mueihla Cim kah a tueih van bangla amih rhoi tah Seleukia la cet rhoi. Te lamloh Kupros la kat uh.
5When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.
5Salami kah a om vaengah khaw Judah rhoek kah tunim ah Pathen kah olka te a doek rhoi tih Johan te tueihyoeih la a khueh rhoi.
6They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
6Paphos duela tuisanglak te boeih a hil rhoi vaengah laithae tonghma kholo hlangcueih hlang pakhat te a hmuh rhoi. Anih te Judah ming ah Bar-Jesuh la om.
7an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.
7Anih tah tongpa lungming, Sergius khoboei Paul taengah om. Te long tah Pathen kah olka te yaak ham a toem dongah Barnabas neh Saul te a khue.
8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
8Tedae amih rhoi te kholo hlangcueih Elymas loh a oelh. Amah ming loh a thuingaih tangloeng dongah khoboei pa te tangnah dong lamloh paimaelh ham a mae.
9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas
9Tedae Saul Anih tah Paul ni tah Mueihla Cim neh a baetawt dongah anih te a hmaitang tih,
10and said, “O child of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, you are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
10“Tuengkhuepnah cungkuem, omthae cungkuem neh aka baetawt tih duengnah boeih kah a rhal rhaithae capa aw Boeipa kah longpuei dueng na maelh te toeng boeh ne.
11Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
11Tedae Boeipa kut loh nang n'nan thil coeng he. Mikdaella na om vetih khoning pakhat dongah khomik na hmu mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah khomai neh yinnah loh anih te pahoi a tlak thil. Te dongah tinghil tih mawtkung a toem.
12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
12Hno aka om te khoboei pa loh a hmuh vaengah Boeipa kah thuituennah dongah let tih a tangnah.
13After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
13Te phoeiah Paul taengkah rhoek tah Paphos lamloh nong uh tih Pamphylia kah Perga la pawk uh. Tedae Johan tah amih taeng lamloh mael tih Jerusalem la bal.
14And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.
14Amih ngawn tah Perga lamloh cet uh tih Pisidia kah Antiok la pawk uh. Tedae Sabbath hnin ah tah tunim la kun uh tih ngol uh.
15After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”
15Olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek kah cabu te taenah a boeih phoeiah amih te tamtaeng loh a tah tih, “ Ka manuca neh ka hlang rhoek, pilnam ham thaphonah olka te nangmih taengah pakhat khaw a om atah thui uh ,” a ti nah.
16Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
16Te dongah Paul loh pai tih kut a cavoih phoeiah, “Israel hlang rhoek neh Pathen aka rhih rhoek, hnatun uh lah.
17The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.
17Israel pilnam kah Pathen loh a pa rhoek he ana tuek dongah Egypt kho ah yinlai la aka om pataeng pilnam la a pomsang. Te dongah ni a khui lamkah amih te a ban neh a sang la a doek.
18He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
18Te phoeiah amih te kum likip tluk khosoek ah a parhaeng.
19And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
19Kanaan kho kah namtu parhih te a hlak tih a khohmuen neh kum yali sawmnga khuiah m'phaeng.
20All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
20Te phoeiah laitloekkung rhoek neh tonghma Samuel taeng duela a paek.
21Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
21Manghai a hoe uh vaengah Benjamin koca hlang pakhat, Kish capa Saul te amih ham kum sawmli khuiah Pathen loh a paek.
22After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’
22Anih a khoe phoeiah a manghai la David te a thoh pah. Anih te, “Ka ko aka tong hlang, Jesse capa David he ka hmuh. Ka kongaih he anih loh boeih a saii bitni,” a ti tih a phong.
23From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.
23A olkhueh bangla anih kah tiingan te ni Pathen loh Israel ham khangkung Jesuh la a poe sak.
24Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
24A kunnah hmai ah Johan kah a rhan he Israel pilnam boeih ham yutnah baptisma la om.
25As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But He is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
25Johan loh hma a khah vaengah, 'Kai ulae nan sui uh. Kai he moenih, Tedae kai hnukah ha pawk coeng ke. A kho dongkah khokhom hlam ham pataeng ka koih moenih,” a ti.
26Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
26Ka manuca neh ka hlang, Abraham imkhui koca rhoek neh nangmih khuiah Pathen aka rhih rhoek aw, mamih khangnah ol he han tueih coeng.
27The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
27Jerusalem kah khosa rhoek neh a boei rhoek tah mangvawt uh. Te dongah Sabbath takuem kah a tae uh tonghma ol neh anih lai a tloek uh te soep coeng.
28And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
28Dueknah ham a paelnaehnah khaw hmu pawt dae anih te ngawn hamla Pilat taengah a bih uh.
29When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
29Anih kawng te boeih a daek soep uh phoeiah, thing dong lamloh a suh uh tih phuel la a khueh uh.
30But God raised Him from the dead,
30Tedae anih te Pathen loh duek khui lamkah a thoh.
31and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.
31Anih te Galilee lamkah Jerusalem la aka luei rhoek taengah khohnin te yet khuiah a phoe pah coeng. Amih tah pilnam taengah boeipa kah laipai la om uh coeng.
32And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
32A pa rhoek taengah aka thoeng olkhueh te ni nangmih taengah ka phong uh van.
33He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’
33Te te Pathen loh Jesuh a thoh sak dongah, tingtoeng lung dongkah a daek pabae vanbangla; Nang tah ka ca la na om. Tihnin ah kai loh nang kan sak coeng,” a ti te a ca rhoek mamih taengah soep coeng.
34In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’
34Anih te duek lamkah loh a thoh dongah pocinah la bal ham cai voel pawh. Te dongah, “Uepom David kah olcim te nangmih taengah kam paek ni, “tila a thui pah.
35So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
35Hmuen tloe ah khaw, “Na hlangcim te pocinah tong sak ham na paek moenih,” a ti tangloeng.
36For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.
36Amah tuetang vaengah David loh Pathen kah mangtaengnah te a bi. A ih vaengah a napa rhoek taengla khoem uh tih pocinah a tong.
37But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
37Tedae Pathen loh a thoh te tah pocinah tong pawh.
38Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
38Ka hlang rhoek neh ka manuca rhoek, nangmih taengah khaw mingpha la om saeh. Anih rhang neh nangmih taengah tholh khodawkngainah khaw, Moses kah olkhueng dongah na tang uh thai pawt boeih te a doek tangloeng coeng.
39Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
39Aka tangnah rhoek tah anih rhangneh boeih tang uh coeng.
40Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:
40Te dongah tonghma rhoek kah a thui loh n'thoeng thil pawt ham mah ngaithuen uh.
41‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”
41Pahoeh palaeh rhoek aw, ming uh lamtah, nangmih tue vaengah ka saii bibi ham ngaihmang khobing neh milh uh nawn. khat khat loh nangmih taengah hang hoe lalah khaw tekah bibi te na tangnah uh tlaih moenih,” a ti nah.
42As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.
42A bal uh vaengah tahae kah olka he a laklo kah Sabbath vaengah amih taengah thui sak ham caeltueih rhoek te a cael uh.
43After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
43Tunim kah aka phih uh Judah rhoek neh poehlip aka bawk rhoek loh Paul neh Barnabas te muep a vai uh. Te dongah amih te a uen tih Pathen kah lungvatnah khuiah rhaeh rhong ham a koilaw uh.
44On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
44Sabbath a pha bal vaengah vang pum banghui loh Boeipa olka hnatun ham tingtun uh.
45But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.
45Hlangping te Judah rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah kohlopnah neh muep hah uh. Te dongah Paul kah a thui te a tloelh uh tih a soehsal uh.
46Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
46Te vaengah Paul neh Barnabas loh sayalh la, “Pathen kah olka te thui lamhma ham nangmih taengah om tangkik. Te te na tueihno uh parhi vaengah dungyan hingnah kah amih lai na tloek khaw na tiing uh moenih. Namtom taengla ka mael uh coeng ne.
47For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
47Te dongah Boeipa loh, 'Namtom rhoek taengah vangnah neh diklai khobawt due khangnah la na om ham nang kan khueh,’ tila mamih ng'uen bal coeng,” a ti rhoi.
48When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
48Namtom rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah omngaih uh tih Boeipa olka te a thangpom uh. Te dongah aka tangnah rhoek boeih tah dungyan hingnah ham mop la om uh.
49And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.
49Te dongah Boeipa kah olka loh paeng tom la thang.
50The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.
50Tedae ak bawk nu hlangcong rhoek neh khopuei kah hlang lamhma rhoek te Judah rhoek loh a vueh uh tih Paul neh Barnabas te hnaemtaeknah neh a puengpuelh uh. Te phoeiah amih rhoi te a vaang khui lamloh a haek uh.
51So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
51Te dongah amih te a kho dongkah tangdik a khoek thil tih Ikonium la pawk rhoi.
52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
52Hnukbang rhoek khaw omngaihnah, Mueihla Cim neh baetawt uh.
