King James Version with Apocrypha
1Anih duekhaih to Saul mah doeh palungdue haih. To nathuem ah Jerusalem ah kaom kricanawk loe paroeai pacaekthlaekhaih to tongh o; to pongah patoeh ih kaminawk khue ai ah loe, kaminawk boih Judea hoi Samaria prae ah cawnh o.
1And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
2Sithaw khae angpaek kaminawk mah Stephen ih qok to lak o moe, aphum o, anih to paroeai palungset o haih.
2And devout men carried Stephen to his burial , and made great lamentation over him.
3Saul mah kricabu to phraek, im kruekah akun, nongpa hoi nongpatanawk to a naeh moe, thongim ah pakhrak.
3As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4To pongah kacawn kaminawk phakhaih ahmuen kruekah tamthanglok to taphong o.
4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5Philip loe Samaria vangpui ah caeh tathuk moe, to ih kaminawk khaeah Kri kawng to a thuih.
5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6Toah kaom kaminawk loe Philip mah thuih ih lok to palung paekhaih hoiah tahngaih pae o, a sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk doeh a hnuk o.
6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7Kaciim ai pakhranawk loe, tha hoi hang o moe, taqawk tawn kaminawk ih takoh thung hoiah tacawt o: pop parai angtawt thai ai kaminawk hoi khokkhaem kaminawk ngantui o.
7For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them : and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8To pongah to avang ih kaminawk loe paroeai anghoehaih tawnh o.
8And there was great joy in that city.
9To avang ah kaom Simon, tiah kawk ih kami maeto loe angmah hoi angmah to lensawk kami ah amkoeh moe, miklet patohhaih hoiah Samaria kaminawk hma ah dawnrai hmuen to a sak:
9But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10kathoeng hoi kalen koek kaminawk mah, Hae kami loe kalen koek Sithaw thacakhaih to tawnh, tiah thuih o moe, anih ih lok to tahngaih pae o.
10To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11Anih mah to ih kaminawk dawnraisak hanah miklet hoiah saning kasawkah doi boeh pongah, nihcae mah Simon ih lok to tahngaih pae o.
11And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12Toe Philip mah Sithaw ukhaih prae kawng hoi Jesu Kri ih ahmin to taphong naah loe, nihcae mah tang o moe, nongpa nongpata tih ai tuinuemhaih to hnuk o.
12But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13Simon angmah doeh tanghaih tawnh moe, tuinuemhaih to hnuk: Philip mah sak ih dawnrai hmuen hoi angmathaihnawk to a hnuk naah, dawnrai moe, Philip hnukah a bang.
13Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14Jerusalem ah kaom patoeh ih kaminawk mah Samaria kaminawk loe Sithaw lok tang o boeh ti, tiah thaih o naah, Piter hoi Johan to nihcae khaeah patoeh o:
14Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15nihcae mah Kacai Muithla hnuk o thai hanah, to ahmuen ah a caeh hoi tathuk moe, nihcae han lawkthuih pae hoi:
15Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16(nihcae loe Jesu ih ahmin khue hoiah ni tuinuemhaih to hnuk o vop pongah, Kacai Muithla nihcae nuiah krah ai vop.)
16(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17Piter hoi Johan mah nihcae nuiah ban koeng moe, lawkthuih pae hoi naah loe, nihcae mah Kacai Muithla to talawk o.
17Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18Patoeh ih kaminawk mah ban koeng naah Kacai Muithla hnuk o ti, tiah Simon mah hnuk naah, nihnik hanah phoisa a paek,
18And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19ban ka koeng pae ih kaminawk mah, Kacai Muithla hnuk o thai hanah, hae sakthaihaih tha hae kai hanah doeh na paek hoi toeng ah, tiah a naa.
19Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20Toe Piter mah anih khaeah, Sithaw ih tangqum to phoisa hoi qan han na poek pongah, phoisa hoi nawnto nang hmaa hoi hmaek tih, tiah a naa.
20But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21Sithaw hmaa ah na poekhaih toeng ai pongah, hae toksakhaih nuiah na thum han koi tidoeh na tawn mak ai, tiah a naa.
21Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22Hae na poek pazaehaih hmuen nuiah dawnpakhuem ah loe, Angraeng khaeah lawkthui ah, to tih nahaeloe palung thung hoi na poek pazaehaih to na tahmen pae khoe doeh om tih.
22Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23Nang loe kakhaa tui to na naek moe, zae mah taoenghaih thung hoiah na loih ai vop, tito ka panoek, tiah a naa.
23For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24To naah Simon mah, Na thuih hoi ih hmuennawk ka nuiah phak han ai ah, Angraeng khaeah lawk na thui pae hoih, tiah a naa.
24Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25Peter hoi Johan loe Angraeng ih lok to taphong hoi, to tiah lokthuih hoi pacoengah Jerusalem ah amlaem hoi; paroeai Samaria avangnawk ah doeh kahoih tamthanglok to taphong hoi.
25And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26Angraeng ih van kami mah Philip khaeah, Angthawk ah loe, Jerusalem hoi Gaza bang caeh tathukhaih praezaek loklam aloih bangah caeh ah, tiah a naa.
26And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27To pongah anih loe angthawk moe, a caeh: khenah, Ethiopia siangpahrang nongpata Kandace ukhaih tlim ah toksah, paroeai akaa tawn hmuenmae pakuemkung, tangyat dueh kami maeto loe Sithaw bok hanah Jerusalem ah caeh,
27And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28anih im ah amlaem naah, angmah ih hrang mawtaka nuiah angthueng moe, tahmaa Isaiah mah tarik ih Cabu to a kroek.
28Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29Muithla mah Philip khaeah, Anih hoi kanghnai ah caeh ah loe, to hrang mawtaka to patom ah, tiah a naa.
29Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30Philip loe anih khaeah cawnh, anih mah kroek ih tahmaa Isaiah ih Cabu lok to thaih naah, Na kroek ih lok to na thaikop maw? tiah a dueng.
30And Philip ran thither to him , and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31Anih mah, Mi mah doeh patukhaih om ai ah kawbangmaw ka panoek thai tih? tiah a naa. To pongah anih loe hrang mawtaka nuiah angthueng moe, anih hoi nawnto anghnut hanah Philip to kawk.
31And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32To kami mah kroek ih Cabu loe, Boh han kaom tuu baktiah Anih to hoih o; Anih loe angmah ih amui aat kami hma ah kaom duem tuucaa baktiah pakha aang ai:
32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33anih loe azat kaom ah lokcaek o, toenghaih hoiah lokcaek o ai: a hinghaih long hoiah lak pae o ving pongah, anih loe kawbangmaw acaeng tawn thai tih? tiah oh.
33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34Tangyat dueh kami mah, Tahmaa mah mi kawng maw thuih? Angmah kawng maw, to tih ai boeh loe kalah kami kawng, na thui ah? tiah a dueng.
34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35To naah Philip mah, To Cabu thung ih lok hoi Jesu kawng to anih khaeah thuih pae.
35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36Loklam a caeh hoi li naah, tui ohhaih ahmuen to a phak hoi: tangyat dueh kami mah, khenah, haeah tui oh; tuinuemhaih ka hnuk hanah mi mah maw pakaa thai tih? tiah a naa.
36And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37Philip mah, Na palungthin boih hoi na tang nahaeloe, tuinuemhaih na hnu thai tih, tiah a naa. Anih mah, Jesu loe Sithaw Capa ni, tiah ka tang, tiah a naa.
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38To pongah anih mah hrang mawtaka to angdoetsak: Philip hoi tangyat dueh kami loe tui ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh hoi tathuk moe, Philip mah anih to tuinuemhaih paek.
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39Tui thung hoi angthawk hoi tahang naah, Angraeng ih Muithla mah Philip to lak ving, to pongah tangyat dueh kami mah anih to hnu ai boeh: Ethiopia kami loe anghoehaih hoiah a caeh han ih loklam ah a caeh poe.
39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40Philip loe Azota prae ah hnuk o let: Sisaria avang pha ai karoek to a caehhaih loklam avang boih ah kahoih tamthanglok to a thuih.
40But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
