Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1To pacoengah Agrippa mah Pawl khaeah, Vaihi loe nangmah kawng na thuih thai boeh, tiah a naa. To naah Pawl mah ban payangh moe, lokthuih:
1Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
2Agrippa siangpahrang, Judahnawk mah zae ang net o haih kawng thuih hanah vaihni na hma ah kang doet thai pongah kawnh parai:
2I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
3Judahnawk khosakhaih dan hoi lokduenghaihnawk to na panoek pongah, ka thuih ih lok hae palungsawkhaih hoiah nang tahngaih pae hanah tahmenhaih kang hnik.
3Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4Kai loe nawkta nathuem hoi Jerusalem vangpui ah kaimah ih acaeng salakah kawbangmaw khosak, tito Judahnawk boih mah ang panoek o;
4My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
5nihcae mah thuih han koeh o nahaeloe, kai loe bokhaih bangah kacip koek, Farasi kami maeto ah ka oh, tiah ang thuih o thaih, nihcae mah kai hae tangsuek na hoiah ang panoek o boeh.
5Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6Sithaw mah kam panawk khaeah sak ih lokkamhaih nuiah oephaih ka tawnh pongah, vaihi lokcaekhaih ka tongh:
6And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
7to lokkamhaih loe akoep tih, tiah oephaih tawnh o pongah, acaeng hatlai hnettonawk mah aqum athun Sithaw tok to sak o. Siangpahrang Agrippa, to oephaih pongah ni Judahnawk mah kai zaehaih ang net o.
7Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
8Tipongah Sithaw mah kadueh kaminawk pathawk let tih, tiah thuih ih lok loe tang han om ai, tiah na poek o loe?
8Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
9Kai doeh Nazareth Jesu ih ahmin to aek hanah sak thaih thung toksak han angaih, tiah ka poek vaih.
9I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10To baktih hmuen to Jerusalem vangpui ah ka sak boeh; kalen koek qaima ih sakthaihaih akaa to ka patoh moe, pop parai kaciim kaminawk to thongim ka pakhrak, nihcae to a hum o naah, dueksak hanah palung ka due haih.
10Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them .
11Nihcae hraem hanah sineko maeto pacoeng maeto ah ka caeh, nihcae han Sithaw ih ahmin kasae ka thuisak nganga; nihcae nuiah palung ka phui hmoek pongah, nihcae pacaekthlaek hanah kalah vangpuinawk khoek to ka caeh.
11And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
12To tiah ka sak naah, kalen koek qaima khae hoi ih sakthaihaih to ka lak moe, Damaska vangpui ah ka caeh.
12Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13Athun naah loe, Aw siangpahrang, loklam ka caeh li naah, van hoiah aanghaih to ka hnuk, to aanghaih loe ni pongah aang kue, to aanghaih mah kai hoi nawnto kholong caeh kaminawk to toeh phaeng.
13At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
14To naah kaicae loe long ah kam timh o boih, to tiah ka oh o nathuem ah Hebru lok hoi ang thuih ih lok to ka thaih, Saul, Saul, tipongah kai nang pacaekthlaek loe? Soekhring na pathuih hanah rai parai, tiah ang naa.
14And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15To naah kai mah, Angraeng, nang loe mi aa? tiah ka naa. To naah anih mah, Kai loe nang pacaekthlaek ih Jesu ni.
15And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16Toe vaihi angthawk ah loe angdoe ah: na hnuk tangcae hmuennawk hoi kang patuek han ih hmuennawk hnukung ah na oh moe, toksah kami maeto ah kang ohsak hanah, nang khaeah kam tueng boeh;
16But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17nangmacae kami hoi Gentel kaminawk salak hoiah kang pahlong han,
17Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18nihcae mik amtuengsak moe, khoving thung hoi aanghaih thungah amlaemsak hanah, Setan thacakhaih thung hoiah Sithaw khaeah amlaemsak moe, zae tahmenhaih a hnuk o pacoengah, kai tanghaih hoiah ciimhaih hnu tangcae kaminawk salakah qawk a toep o thai hanah, vaihi nihcae khaeah kang patoeh boeh.
18To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
19To pongah siangpahrang Agrippa, van hoiah ang hnuksak ih hmuen to ka aek ai:
19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20tangsuek naah Damaska vangpui ah kaom kaminawk, Jerusalem kaminawk, Judea kaminawk boih khae khue ai, Gentelnawk khaeah doeh dawnpakhuem o moe, Sithaw khaeah amlaem o pacoengah, dawnpakhuemhaih amtueng o sak hanah, lok ka thuih pae.
20But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21Hae pongah Judahnawk mah tempul thungah kai ang naeh o moe, kai hum hanah pacaeng o.
21For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me .
22To pongah Sithaw mah ang bomh, vaihni ni khoek to kathoeng kalen kaminawk hma ah lokthuih hanah kang doet, Mosi hoi tahmaanawk mah angzo han koi thuicoek ih lok laep ah, kalah lok tita doeh ka thui ai:
22Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23Kri loe patangkhang tih, Anih loe kadueh kaminawk thung hoi angthawk hmaloe Kami ah om ueloe, angmah kaminawk hoi Gentelnawk khaeah aanghaih lok to thui tih, tiah kaom lok to ni ka thuih, tiah a naa.
23That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
24Angmah angvaenghaih lok Pawl mah thuih li naah, Festa mah hangh thuih moe, lok to pakha pae ving, Pawl, Na poekhaih amkhraeng ving boeh; kasangah nam tukhaih mah amthusak boeh, tiah a naa.
24And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25Toe Pawl mah, Kahoih koek Festa, Kam thu ai; loktang lok hoi angcoeng thaih lok to ni ka thuih, tiah a naa.
25But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26Siangpahrang mah hae hmuen kawngnawk hae panoek, to pongah anih hma ah kamtueng ah lok ka thuih: hae hmuennawk loe takii taket ah tamquta hoi sak ih hmuen na ai ni, anih mah panoek ai ih hmuen tidoeh om ai, tito ka panoek, tiah a naa.
26For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
27Agrippa siangpahrang, Tahmaanawk to na tang maw? Na tang, tiah ka panoek, tiah a naa.
27King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28To naah Agrippa mah Pawl khaeah, Nang pacaehaih mah kricaa ah ka oh duih boeh, tiah a naa.
28Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29Pawl mah, nang khue na ai, vaihniah kai ih lok thaih kaminawk boih, hae tiah ang naeh o haih kawng hae thui ai ah, kai baktiah na oh o duih han ih khue ai, na oh o thai boih hanah, Sithaw khaeah lawk ka thuih, tiah a naa.
29And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30To tiah lok a thuih pacoengah, siangpahrang loe angthawk tahang, to naah prae ukkung, Bernice hoi to ahmuen ah nihcae hoi nawnto anghnu kaminawk doeh angthawk o boih.
30And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31Nihcae ahmuen kalah bang caeh o pacoengah, Hae kami loe thongim pakrak moe, paduek han khoek to hmuen tidoeh sah ai, tiah maeto hoi maeto a thuih o.
31And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32Agrippa mah Festa khaeah, Caesar khaeah caeh han hni ai nahaeloe, hae kami hae prawt han oh boeh, tiah a naa.
32Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar.
