Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Nawkamyanawk, ampanawk, vaihi nangcae khae kang thuih o ih kaimah hoi kaimah angvaehaih lok hae tahngai oh, tiah a naa.
1Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2Hebru lok hoiah Pawl mah nihcae khaeah lokthuih pae, tito a thaih o naah, nihcae loe angam o duem; anih mah,
2(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3kai loe Cilicia prae, Tarsa vangpui ah tapen, Judah kami maeto ah ka oh, toe hae vangpui thung ih Gamaliel ban thungah ni ka qoeng tahang, kam panawk ih daan to kahoihah kam tuk, vaihniah Sithaw khae palung nang paek o ih baktih toengah, kai doeh ka oh toeng.
3I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4Hae Angraeng bokhaih loklam pazui kaminawk to duek khoek to ka pacaekthlaek, nongpa nongpata tih ai, ka naeh moe, thongim thungah ka pakhrak.
4And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5To tiah ka sak ih hmuen to kalen koek qaima hoi kacoehtanawk boih mah doeh panoek o: nawkamyanawk panoeksak hanah nihcae khae ih ca to ka lak, Damaska vangpui thungah kaom hae kaminawk hae ka naeh, dan ka paek moe, Jerusalem ah thak hanah Damaska vangpui ah ka caeh.
5As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6Kholong ka caeh li, Damaska vangpui ka phak tom athun naah, poek ai pui hoi van bang ih aanghaih mah ka taeng boih to toeh.
6And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7Kai loe long ah kam timh, to naah Saul, Saul, tipongah kai nang pacaekthlaek loe? tiah thuih ih lok to ka thaih.
7And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8To pongah kai mah, Angraeng, Nang loe mi aa? tiah ka naa. To naah anih mah, Kai loe nang pacaekthlaek ih Nazareth Jesu ni, tiah ang naa.
8And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9Kai hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk loe aanghaih to hnuk o naah, zit o; toe kai khaeah lokthui Anih ih lok to nihcae mah thai o ai.
9And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10Kai mah, Timaw ka sak han, Angraeng? tiah ka naa. To naah Angraeng mah, Angthawk loe, Damaska vangpui thungah caeh ah; toah na sak han koi hmuennawk boih to na thui tih hmang, tiah ang naa.
10And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11To aanghaih tha mah ka mik ang maengsak khoep boeh pongah, kai hoi nawnto kaom kaminawk mah ban hoiah kai ang zaeh o moe, Damaska vangpui ah ang caeh o haih.
11And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12To naah Ananias, tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto kai khaeah angzoh, anih loe kaalok baktiah Sithaw lok pazui kami ah oh moe, to vangpui thung kaom Judah kaminawk boih mah saiqat ih kami ah oh,
12And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there ,
13anih loe angzoh moe, kai khaeah angdoet pacoengah, Kam nawk Saul, na mik amtueng lai ah, tiah ang naa. To naah ka mik amtueng roep, anih to ka khet tahang.
13Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14To pacoengah anih mah, Anih koehhaih to panoek moe, Katoeng Kami to na hnuk pacoengah, Anih pakha ih lok to na thaih hanah, aicae ampanawk ih Sithaw mah ang qoih boeh.
14And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15Na hnuk moe, na thaih ih hmuen pongah, kaminawk boih khaeah hnukung ah na om tih.
15For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16Tipongah na zing khing loe? Angthawk ah, tuinuemhaih to hnu ah, na zaehaihnawk to pasaeh loe, Angraeng ih ahmin to kawk ah, tiah ang naa.
16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17Jerusalem ah kam laem let moe, tempul thungah lawk ka thuih naah, hmuen hnuksakhaih to ka hnuk;
17And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18na thuih ih lok to nihcae mah tahngai o mak ai, karangah Jerusalem to tacawt taak ah, tiah kai khaeah lokthui Anih to ka hnuk.
18And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19Kai mah, Angraeng, Nang tanghaih tawn kaminawk thongim pakhrak moe, boh hanah, sineko kruekah ka caeh, tito nihcae mah panoek o:
19And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20tasar ah kadueh nangmah ih kami Stephen athii long naah, anih taengah kang doet moe, anih hum hanah nihcae angdoe haih kami ah ka oh, anih hum kaminawk ih kahni to ka sin pae, tiah ka naa.
20And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21To naah anih mah kai khaeah, Caeh ah: hae ahmuen hoi angthla parai Gentelnawk khaeah kang patoeh han, tiah ang naa.
21And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22Hae loknawk thuih pacoeng karoek to kaminawk mah anih ih lok to tahngaih pae o, to pacoengah loe to baktih kami to long nuiah hingsak han om ai: anih loe hing han krah ai, tiah a hang o.
22And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23To tiah nihcae hang o pacoengah, angmacae ih khukbuen to asih o moe, maiphu to van ah a haeh o,
23And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24to naah misatuh angraeng mah Pawl to misatuh kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh haih hanah lokpaek, tipongah maw kaminawk mah anih to hae tiah hang o thuih, tiah panoek han koeh pongah, boh moe lokdueng hanah lok a paek.
24The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25Nihcae mah moihin qui hoiah taoengh o naah, Pawl mah a taengah angdoe cumvaito ukkung misatuh angraeng khaeah, zaehaih hnu ai naah, Rom kami maeto hae tiah na boh thai maw? tiah a naa.
25And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26Cumvaito ukkung misatuh mah to lok to thaih naah, kalen koek misatuh angraeng khaeah caeh moe, Na toksakhaih pongah acoe ah, hae kami loe Rom kami ni, tiah a naa.
26When the centurion heard that , he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27To naah kalen koek misatuh angraeng loe Pawl khaeah caeh moe, Nang loe Rom kami maw? Na thui ah, tiah a naa. To naah anih mah, Ue, Rom kami ah ka oh, tiah pathim pae.
27Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28To naah kalen koek misatuh angraeng mah, Kai loe Rom kami ah oh thai hanah phoisa pop ah ka paek bae, tiah a naa. Toe Pawl mah, Kai loe Rom kami ah ni ka tapen, tiah a naa.
28And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29To pacoengah loe anih lokdueng han angzo kaminawk doeh anih hnukbang ah karangah angnawn o: Rom kami ah kaom Pawl to sumqui hoi pathlet pongah, kalen koek misatuh angraeng loe paroeai mawnh.
29Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30Khawnbangah loe, tipong maw Judah kaminawk mah Pawl zaehaih net o, tiah panoek han koeh pongah, Pawl to prawt moe, kalen koek qaima hoi lokcaek kaminawk to a kawksak. To pacoengah Pawl to hoih o tathuk moe, nihcae hma ah angdoet o sak.
30On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
