Berean Standard Bible
1Tahmaa hoi patukkungnawk loe, Antiok vangpui ih kricabu pum-im thungah oh o, Barnabas, Niger, tiah kawk o ih Simeon, Cyrene vangpui ih Lucius, Manen (anih loe prae ahap ukkung Herod hoi nawnto kaqoeng ampui ah oh) hoi Saul cae doeh oh o.
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.
2Angraeng ih tok to sak o moe, buh a zah o naah, toksak han Ka kawk ih baktih toengah, Barnabas hoi Saul to Kai hanah pahoe oh, tiah Kacai Muithla mah thuih.
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.”
3Nihcae loe buhzah hoiah lawkthuih o, nihnik nuiah bankoeng pae o moe, nihnik to patoeh o.
3And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
4Nihnik loe Kacai Muithla mah patoeh ih baktih toengah, Silucia ah caeh hoi tathuk moe, to ahmuen hoiah Cyprus ah palong hoiah a caeh hoi.
4So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
5Salamis vangpui a phak hoi naah, Judahnawk ih Sineko ah Sithaw lok to a thuih hoi: nihnik bomkung ah oh hanah, Johan doeh caeh toeng.
5When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.
6Tui mah takui ih prae hoiah a caeh o poe, Paphos phak o naah loe Barjesu, tiah ahmin kaom, tahmaa ah kangsah, miklet kop, Judah kami maeto a hnuk o:
6They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
7anih loe prae ukkung Sergia Paula khaeah oh, prae ukkung loe palungha kami ah oh, anih loe Sithaw lok thaih han koeh pongah, Barnaba hoi Saul to kawk.
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.
8Toe prae ukkung mah tanghaih tawnh han ai ah, (miklet kop, tiah ahmin kaom,) Elima mah nihnik ih lok to aek.
8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
9To naah Paul, tiah kawk ih Saul loe Kacai Muithla hoiah koi, miklet kop kami to mikpakhrip ai ah a khet moe,
9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas
10alinghaih, sethaih boih hoiah kakoi, nang taqawk caa, toenghaih hmuennawk boih ih misa, katoeng Angraeng ih loklam hoiah kami loklam nam khraengsakhaih tok to na toengh mak ai maw?
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?
11Khenah, Angraeng ih ban na nuiah oh, mik na maeng ueloe, khotue nasetto thungah maw loe ni aengh to na hnu mak ai, tiah a naa. Akra ai ah tamai hoi khoving to anih nuiah krak; to naah ban hoi zaeh hanah anih mah kaminawk to pakrong.
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.
12Prae ukkung mah to hmuen to hnuk naah, tanghaih tawnh, Angraeng ih patukhaih hmuen nuiah a dawnrai.
12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
13Pawl hoi angmah ih ampuinawk loe Paphos vangpui hoi Pamphylia prae thungah kaom Perga vangpui ah caeh o: Johan mah to ahmuen hoiah nihcae to Jerusalem ah amlaem taak ving.
13After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
14Nihcae loe Perga hoiah Pesidia prae, Antiok ah caeh o, Sabbath niah loe Sineko ah caeh o moe, anghnut o.
14And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.
15Kaalok hoi tahmaanawk ih cabu to kroek o pacoengah, Sineko ukkungnawk mah nihcae khaeah, nawkamyanawk, thapaekhaih lokthuih han om nahaeloe, a thuih o hanah, kami to patoeh moe, thaih o sak.
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.”
16Pawl loe angdoet tahang moe, kaminawk boih ban payangh thuih pacoengah, Israel kaminawk hoi Sithaw zii kaminawk, ka lok hae tahngai oh:
16Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
17hae Israel kaminawk ih Sithaw mah aicae ampanawk to qoih moe, Izip prae thungah angvin ah a oh o naah, nihcae to tapom tahang, a thacakhaih ban hoiah nihcae to prae thung hoiah tacawt haih.
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.
18Saning quipalito thung praezaek ah nihcae to a khetzawn.
18He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
19Anih mah Kanaan prae thung ih acaeng taruktonawk to pazawk moe, prae to nihcae khaeah qawk ah pazet.
19And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
20To pacoengah tahmaa Samuel dung karoek to, saning cumvai pali, pangato thung lokcaekkungnawk khaeah a paek.
20All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
21To pacoengah nihcae mah siangpahrang to hnik o, to pongah Benjamin acaeng thung hoiah Kish capa Saul to a paek, anih mah saning quipalito thung uk.
21Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
22Anih mah Saul to pahnawt pacoengah, David to nihcae ih siangpahrang ah a suek pae; David kawng pongah, Kaimah ih palung baktiah kaom, Jesse capa David to ka hnuk boeh, anih mah ni saksak han ka koeh ih hmuen to akoepsak tih, tiah a thuih.
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.’
23Hae kami ih atii thung hoiah Sithaw mah Israel kaminawk khaeah lokkamhaih sak baktih toengah, Pahlongkung, Jesu to a paek:
23From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.
24anih angzo ai naah, Johan mah Israelnawk boih khaeah dawnpakhuem tuinuemhaih kawng to thuih pae.
24Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25A sak ih tok pacoeng tom naah Johan mah, kai loe mi kawbaktih kami ah maw na poek o? Kai loe Anih to na ai ni. Khenah, ka hnukah angzo kami Maeto oh, kai loe Anih ih khokpanai khram pae han mataeng doeh kam cuk ai, tiah a naa.
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.’
26Nawkamyanawk, Abraham ih caa hoi nangcae thungah kaom Sithaw zii kaminawk, nangcae khaeah hae pahlonghaih lok hae patoeh boeh.
26Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
27Jerusalem vangpui ah kaom kaminawk hoi nihcae ukkungnawk mah, Anih to panoek o ai, Sabbath ni kruekah a kroek o ih tahmaanawk ih lok doeh thaih o kop ai, Anih zae nethaih rang hoiah tahmaanawk mah thuih o ih lok to nihcae mah akoep o sak boeh.
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.
28Nihcae loe Anih duek han khoek to zaehaih hnu o ai, toe Anih to hum hanah Pilat khaeah a hnik o.
28And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
29Tarik ih Anih thuihhaih lok boih loe nihcae mah akoep o sak boeh, thinglam hoiah a lak o moe, Anih to taprong ah aphum o.
29When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
30Toe Sithaw mah Anih to duekhaih thung hoiah pathawk let:
30But God raised Him from the dead,
31Kalili hoi Jerusalem ah Anih hoi nawnto kacaeh kaminawk mah loe ni paroeai thungah Anih to hnuk o, nihcae loe kaminawk han hnukung ah oh o.
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.
32To pongah aicae ampanawk khaeah Sithaw mah paek ih lokkamhaih, kahoih tamthanglok to nangcae khaeah kang thuih o.
32And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
33Sithaw mah a caa ah kaom aicae khaeah, Jesu pathawk lethaih to akoepsak boeh; Saam Cabu hnetto pongah doeh, Nang loe Ka Capa ni, nang loe vaihniah kang tapenh, tiah tarik ih oh.
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.’
34Sithaw mah duekhaih thung hoiah anih pathawk let naah, vaihi kaqong thungah amlaem let mak ai boeh, tiah a thuih: David khaeah ka suek ih kacak palungnathaih lok to kang paek o han, tiah a thuih.
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.’
35Kalah Saam Cabu pongah loe, Nangmah ih kaciim kami to natuek naah doeh na qongsak mak ai, tiah thuih let bae.
35So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
36Sithaw koehhaih baktiah David loe angmah ih adung thung Sithaw ih tok to sak moe, a duek; anih loe ampanawk khaeah aphum o, anih ih takpum loe amro.
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.
37Toe Sithaw mah pathawk let ih kami loe amro ai.
37But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
38To pongah nawkamyanawk, hae kami rang hoiah zae tahmenhaih nangcae khaeah taphong boeh, tito panoek oh.
38Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
39Mosi ih kaalok hoiah toenghaih to hnu thai ai, toe anih rang hoiah loe tangcaanawk boih mah toenghaih to hnuk o.
39Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
40Acoe oh, to tih ai nahaeloe tahmaanawk mah thuih ih lok to nangcae nuiah phak moeng tih;
40Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:
41Khen oh, nangcae kami khet patoek kaminawk, dawnrai oh loe, anghmaa angtaa oh: na hing o thung tok ka sak, to tiah sak ih tok to kami maeto mah na thui o cadoeh na tang o thai mak ai, tiah thuih ih lok to nangcae nuiah pha o sak hmah, tiah a naa.
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.’”
42Judahnawk ih Sineko hoi tacawt o pacoengah, Gentelnawk mah to kawng to hmabang ih Sabbath niah, nihcae khae thuih let hanah tahmenhaih hnik o.
42As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.
43Amkhuenghaih boeng pacoengah, Judahnawk hoi Judah bokhaih thungah angqoi kaminawk loe Paul hoi Barnaba hnukah bang o: nihnik mah Sithaw tahmenhaih thungah oh o poe hanah, lokthuih pae hoi.
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.
44Hmabang ih Sabbath ni phak let naah doeh, Sithaw lok to tahngaih hanah, vangpui thung ih kapop kaminawk angzoh o.
44On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
45Toe Judahnawk mah kaminawk to hnuk o naah, uthaih palung hoiah koi o, Paul mah thuih ih loknawk to aek o moe, kasae a thuih o.
45But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.
46To pacoengah Paul hoi Barnabas loe misahoihaih hoiah nihcae khaeah lokthuih pae hoi, Sithaw lok loe nangcae khaeah thuih o hmaloe han oh: toe nangcae mah na pahnawt o moe, nangmacae hoi nangmacae to dungzan hinghaih hoi kamcuk ai ah na poek o pongah, khenah, kaihnik loe Gentelnawk khaeah kang qoi hoi boeh.
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.
47Angraeng mah kaihnik khaeah hae tiah lok a thuih; long boeng khoek to pahlonghaih sin hanah, nanghnik loe Gentelnawk aanghaih ah kang ohsak boeh, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.
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.’”
48Gentelnawk mah to lok to thaih o naah, anghoe o moe, Angraeng ih lok to pakoeh o; dungzan hinghaih hnuk hanah pahoe ih kaminawk boih mah tang o.
48When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
49Angraeng ih lok loe to prae thung boih ah amthang.
49And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.
50Toe Judahnawk mah Sithaw kazom kami, araengh kasang nongpatanawk hoi vangpui thung ih ukkungnawk to pacuek moe, Pawl hoi Barnabas to pacaekthlaek sak, nihnik to angmacae prae thung hoiah a haek o.
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.
51To pongah nihnik mah nihcae koeh ai ih hmuen amtuengsak hanah, akhok pong ih maiphu to takhoek hoi thuih moe, Ikonium vangpui ah a caeh hoi taak.
51So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
52Hnukbang kaminawk loe anghoehaih hoi Kacai Muithla hoiah koi o.
52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
