Toksahkungnawk 23
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pawl mah lokcaekkungnawk khet pacoengah, Kaminawk, nawkamyanawk, Sithaw ih tok hae vaihni ni khoek to poek toenghaih hoiah ni ka sak, tiah a naa.
1And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2To lok to thaih naah kalen koek qaima Ananias mah, anih taengah angdoe kami khaeah, Pawl ih pakha to boh pae hanah lokpaek.
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3To naah Pawl mah, Nang, rong kanglung hoi nok ih tapang! Sithaw mah nang ni bop lat tih: daan baktiah kai lokcaek han ih na ai maw toah nang hnut, tipongah daan ai ah kai boh han ih lok na paek loe? tiah a naa.
3Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4To naah Pawl taengah angdoe kaminawk mah, Sithaw kami, kalen koek qaima to hae tiah zoeh sai maw? tiah a naa o.
4And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
5Pawl mah, Nawkamyanawk, anih loe kalen koek qaima ni, tiah ka panoek ai pongah ni: nangmacae ukkungnawk to zoeh hmah, tiah tarik ih oh khoep bae, tiah a naa.
5Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
6Toe toah kaom thoemto kaminawk loe Sadusi kami ah oh o, kalah thoemto kaminawk loe Farasi ah oh o, tiah Pawl mah panoek naah, Kaminawk, nawkamyanawk, kai loe Farasi capa ah ka oh pongah, Farasi ah ka oh: kadueh kami angthawk lethaih nuiah oephaih ka tawnh pongah, vaihi lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah kang doet, tiah a naa.
6But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7To lok a thuih pacoengah, Farasinawk hoi Sadusinawk lok angaek o moe, abu hnetto ah ampraek o.
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8Sadusinawk mah loe kadueh kami angthawk lethaih om ai, van kami doeh om ai, pakhra doeh om ai, tiah thuih o; toe Farasinawk mah loe to hmuennawk to oh, tiah tang o.
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9To pacoengah angzoehhaih lok to oh, nihcae thung ih ca tarik thoemto Farasi kaminawk loe angthawk o moe, lok aek pae o; nihcae mah, Hae kami zaehaih tidoeh om ai: muithla mah maw, van kami mah maw, lokthui pae nahaeloe kawbangmaw na tih o han? To pongah Sithaw koeh ai ih hmuen baktiah angzoeh o hma si, tiah a naa o.
9And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10Lokpung o parai pongah, Pawl to naeh o ueloe, taprawt o pat tih boeh, tiah misatuh angraeng mah zit pongah, misatuh kaminawk to patoeh tathuk, Pawl to nihcae salak hoiah tha hoi zaehsak moe, misatuh kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh haih ving hanah lok a paek.
10And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11To na aqum ah Angraeng Pawl taengah angdoet pae, Poek caksak ah, Jerusalem vangpui ah kai nang doet haih baktih toengah, Rom vangpui ah doeh nang doet haih han oh, tiah a naa.
11And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12Khawnbang phak naah thoemto Judahnawk loe nawnto amkhueng o, Pawl hum ai karoek to buhcaak han ai ah, lokkamhaih a sak o.
12And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13Pawl hum han pacaeng kaminawk loe quipalito pong pop o.
13And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14Nihcae loe kalen koek qaima hoi kacoehtanawk khaeah caeh o moe, Pawl ka hum o ai karoek to buhcaak han ai ah lokkamhaih ka sak o boeh, tiah a naa o.
14And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15To pongah vaihi nangcae lokcaek kaminawk, Hae kami kawng kahoih ah ka panoek o thai hanah, khawnbangah anih nangcae khae patoeh let hanah, misatuh angraeng khaeah hni oh: Pawl nangcae khae pha ai naah anih hum hanah kam sak o coek boeh, tiah a naa o.
15Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16Pawl hum hanah nihcae mah loklam ah angang o boeh, tiah Pawl tanuh ih capa mah thaih naah, misatuh kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh moe, Pawl khaeah thuih pae.
16And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17To naah Pawl mah cumvaito ukkung misatuh to kawk moe, Hae thendoeng hae misatuh angraeng khaeah caeh haih ah: anih khaeah lok maeto thuih han a tawnh, tiah a naa.
17Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him , and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18To pongah misatuh ukkung mah anih to misatuh angraeng khaeah caeh haih; thongim krah Pawl mah kai ang kawk moe, hae thendoeng mah nang khaeah lokthuih han a tawnh, to pongah nang khaeah caeh haih ah, tiah ang hnik, tiah a naa.
18So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him , and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19Misatuh angraeng mah thendoeng to ban ah patawnh, ahmuen kalah bangah caeh haih moe, tamquta hoi lok a dueng, tih lok maw thuih han na tawnh? tiah a naa.
19Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him , What is that thou hast to tell me?
20To naah anih mah, Judahnawk mah khawnbangah Pawl to kamnoekta ah lokdueng han koeh o pongah, anih to lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah caeh haih tathuk hanah nang khaeah hni si, tiah lokthuih o boeh.
20And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21Toe Pawl hae nihcae khaeah patoeh hmah: tipongah tih nahaeloe kami quipalito pong kapop kaminawk loe Pawl hum ai karoek to buhcaak o han ai ah, lokkamhaih sak o moe, anih to loklam ah angang o boeh: vaihi nang ih lok ni a zing o, tiah a naa.
21But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22Misatuh angraeng mah to thendoeng khaeah, Kai khae nang thuih ih hmuennawk hae minawk khaeah thuih hmah, tiah thuih pae pacoengah, anih to amlaem sak.
22So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
23Anih mah misatuh cumvaito ukkung kami hnetto kawk moe, misatuh cumvai hnetto, hrang angthueng misatuh quitarukto, tayae sin misatuh cumvai hnettonawk to vaiduem atue thumto naah Caesarea ah caeh han amsak o coek ah, tiah lokpaek.
23And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24Prae ukkung Filix khaeah, Pawl kahoihah phak thai hanah, hrang to suem pae o coek ah, tiah a naa.
24And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
25Misatuh angraeng mah atlim bang ih baktiah;
25And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26Klaudias Lisias mah, kahoih koek Prae ukkung angraeng Filix khaeah, Bansinhaih ca kang pat.
26Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
27Hae kami loe Judahnawk mah naeh o moe, hum han thuih o boeh: anih loe Rom kami ah oh, tiah ka panoek naah, misatuh kaminawk hoi ka caeh o moe, anih to ka pahlong o.
27This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28Tipong maw anih zaehaih a net o, tiah panoek han ka koeh pongah, angmacae lokcaekhaih hma ah kang doetsak:
28And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29to tiah zae nethaih loe angmacae ih daan hoi kasaeng hmuen ah oh, tiah ka panoek, to pongah anih loe thong pakhrak moe, paduek han krah ai, tiah ka hnuk.
29Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30Anih to hum hanah angang o, tiah ang thuih o pongah, nang khaeah karangah kang patoeh; anih zaehaih net kaminawk mah doeh anih kawng nang khaeah thuih o hanah, kang patoeh roep, ngantui nasoe, tiah ca tarik pae.
30And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
31To pongah misatuh angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, misatuh kaminawk mah Pawl to lak o moe, khoving ah Antipatris vangpui ah caeh o haih.
31Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32Hrang angthueng misatuh kaminawk loe khawnbangah Pawl hoi nawnto caeh o, khok hoiah kacaeh misatuh kaminawk loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem o let:
32On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33hrang angthueng kaminawk Caesarea vangpui phak o naah, prae ukkung angraeng khaeah ca to paek o moe, Pawl to anih hma ah aap o.
33Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34Prae ukkung mah ca to kroek pacoengah, naa bang prae ah kaom kami maw? tiah lok a dueng. Anih mah Cilicia ah kaom kami ni, tiah panoek naah;
34And when the governor had read the letter , he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35Anih khaeah, Na zaehaih net kaminawk phak o naah, nang kawng to thui si, tiah a naa. To pacoengah Pawl to a ohhaih Herod lokcaekhaih im ah kahoihah suek o hanah lok a paek.
35I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
