1Angraeng hnukbang kaminawk to pazih moe, hum han pacaeng, Saul loe kasang qaima khaeah caeh moe,
1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
2a caehhaih loklam ah hnuk ih nongpa maw, nongpata maw naeh moe, Jerusalem thongim thungah pakhrak thai hanah, Damaska vangpui ih Sineko ah tarik ih canawk to a hnik.
2and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3Anih loe kholong caeh moe, Damaska vangpui phak tom naah, poek ai pui ah van bang hoiah aanghaih mah a taeng boih to toeh pae:
3As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4anih loe long ah amtimh, Saul, Saul, tipongah Kai nang pacaekthlaek loe? tiah anih han thuih pae ih lok to a thaih.
4He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
5To naah anih mah, Angraeng, nang loe mi aa? tiah a naa. Angraeng mah, Kai loe nang pacaekthlaek ih Jesu: kamsum pathuih loe nang hanah rai parai, tiah a naa.
5“Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
6Anih loe tasoeh hoi dawnraihaih hoiah Angraeng, timaw saksak han na koeh? tiah a naa. Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Angthawk ah loe vangpui thungah caeh ah, toah na sak han koi na thui tih hmang, tiah a naa.
6“Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7Anih hoi nawnto kholong caeh kaminawk loe lokpae ai ah angdoet o sut, lok loe a thaih o, toe mi doeh hnu o ai.
7The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
8Saul loe long hoiah angthawk tahang; a mik padai naah mi doeh hnu thai ai: toe anih to ban ah patawnh o moe, Damaska vangpui thungah caeh o haih.
8Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
9Anih loe ni thumto thung mikmaeng, buhcaa ai tui doeh nae ai ah oh.
9For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
10To naah Anania, tiah ahmin kaom hnukbang kami maeto Damaska vangpui thungah oh; anih ih ahmin loe Anania; Angraeng mah hnuksakhaih hoiah anih khaeah, Anania, tiah kawk; to naah anih mah, Khenah, Angraeng, haeah ka oh, tiah pathim pae.
10In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
11Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Angthawk ah loe Katoeng, tiah ahmin kaom loklam ah caeh ah, Tarsa vangpui ih Saul, tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto Juda im ah pakrong ah: khenah anih loe vaihi lawkthuih li, tiah a naa.
11“Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
12Anih mah Anania, tiah ahmin kaom kami loe, anih nuiah ban koeng moe, a mik amtuengsak hanah angzoh, tito hnuksakhaih hoiah a hnuk coek boeh.
12In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
13Anania mah, Angraeng, hae kami mah kawkruk maw Jerusalem ah nang ih kaciim kaminawk pacaekthlaek, tito paroeai kaminawk mah thuih ih lok ka thaih.
13But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
14Anih loe haeah angzoh moe, nang ih ahmin palawk kaminawk boih naeh hanah, kalen koek qaima khae hoi ih sakthaihaih anah to a tawnh, tiah a naa.
14And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
15Toe Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Caeh ah: anih loe Gentelnawk, siangpahrangnawk hoi Israel caanawk hma ah, Kai ih ahmin phawkung ah ka qoih ih hmuen ah oh:
15“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.
16Ka hmin pongah anih mah kawkruk maw patangkhang tih, tto anih khaeah kam tuengsak han, tiah a naa.
16I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
17Anania loe caeh moe, imthung ah akun; Saul nuiah ban to koeng moe, kam nawk Saul, haeah nang zoh naah loklam ah nang khaeah kamtueng, Angraeng Jesu mah, na mik to amtueng moe, Kacai Muithla hoi na koi hanah, kai ang patoeh, tiah a naa.
17So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18Akra ai ah Saul ih mik hoiah tanga hin kangkhok baktiah krak moe, a mik to amtueng pae roep, anih loe angthawk moe, tuinuemhaih to hnuk.
18At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
19Buhcaak pacoengah anih loe tha oh let. To pacoengah Saul loe Damaska ah kaom hnukbang kaminawk hoi nawnto atue kasawk ah cam.
19and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
20Akra ai ah anih mah Jesu loe Sithaw Capa ni, tiah Kri kawng to Sinekonawk ah taphong.
20Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
21Anih ih lok thaih kaminawk boih dawnrai o, Hae kami loe Jerusalem ah kaom Anih ih ahmin kawk kaminawk pacaekthlaek kami, nihcae to naeh moe, kalen koek qaima khaeah thak han ih na ai maw haeah angzoh? tiah thuih o.
21All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22Toe Saul loe thacak aep, Damaska vangpui ah kaom Judahnawk ih lok to aek moe, Jesu loe Kri ni, tiah taphong.
22But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
23Ni kasawk ah akra pacoengah, Judahnawk mah anih hum hanah patoem o:
23After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
24toe nihcae mah pacaenghaih to Saul mah panoek. Anih hum thai hanah aqum athun khongkha to toep o.
24but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
25To naah hnukbang kaminawk mah anih to aqum ah lak o, benthang thungah pacaeng o moe, vangpui sipae tapang hoiah anghum o sak tathuk ving.
25One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
26Saul Jerusalem phak naah, hnukbang kaminawk hoi nawnto angkom hanah a poek: toe hnukbangnawk mah anih to zit o, anih loe hnukbang kami maeto toeng ni, tito tang o ai.
26When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27Toe Barnaba mah anih to lak moe, patoeh ih kaminawk khaeah caeh haih, Kawbangah maw Angraeng to loklam ah ka hnuk moe, kawbangah maw Angraeng mah anih khaeah lokthuih pae pacoengah, kawbangah maw zithaih om ai ah Jesu ih ahmin hoiah Damaska vangpui ah tamthanglok a thuih, tito nihcae khaeah thuih pae.
27Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who spoke to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.
28To pacoengah Sual loe nihcae hoi nawnto oh, koeh baktiah Jerusalem ah akun moe, tacawt.
28So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29Anih loe misa sae ai ah Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin hoiah lok to thuih, Grik lok apae kaminawk to lok a aek moe, lok a thuih pae: toe nihcae mah anih to hum hanah pacaeng o.
29He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
30To tamthang to nawkamyanawk mah panoek o naah, anih to Sisaria vangpui ah caeh o haih tathuk, to ahmuen hoiah anih to Tarsa ah patoeh o.
30When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31To pacoengah loe Judea prae, Kalili prae hoi Samaria prae thungah kaom kricabunawk boih kamong ah oh o moe, Sithaw bokhaih bangah doeh hmacawn o; Angraeng zithaih hoiah khosak o moe, Kacai Muithla zaehhoihaih rang hoiah kami angpung o.
31Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
32Piter loe prae maeto pacoeng maeto ah kholong caeh, Lydda vangpui ah kaom kaciim kaminawk khaeah doeh caeh tathuk.
32As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
33Toah Aeneas, tiah ahmin kaom saning tazetto thung iihkhun nuiah kangsong, ngan dueh nathaih tawn kami maeto a hnuk.
33There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.
34Piter mah anih khaeah, Aeneas, Jesu Kri mah ngan ang tuisak boeh: angthawk ah loe kahni to la ah, tiah a naa. To naah Aeneas loe angthawk roep.
34“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,
35Lydda hoi Sharon ah kaom kaminawk boih mah hnuk o naah, Angraeng khaeah angqoi o.
35and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
36Joppa vangpui ah loe Tibitha (Dorka, tiah thuih koehhaih ih ni) tiah ahmin kaom hnukbang kami maeto oh: to nongpata loe kahoih hmuen to sak moe, hmuen paekhaih hoi akoep kami ah oh.
36In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.
37To naah, anih loe ngannat moe, duek ving: a qok to tui hoi pasaeh o pacoengah, ranui ih asom ah a suek o.
37At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.
38Lydda vangpui loe Joppa vangpui hoi anghnai daek, hnukbang kaminawk mah, Piter Lydda vangpui ah oh ti, tiah thaih o naah, anih khaeah kami long hnetto patoeh o, nihcae hoi nawnto karangah caeh pae hanah tahmenhaih a hnik o.
38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
39To naah Piter loe angthawk moe, nihnik hoi nawnto caeh. A phak naah, anih to im ranui ih asom ah caeh o haih: lamhmainawk boih a taengah angdoet o moe, qah o, nihcae hoi nawnto oh naah Dorka mah sak ih tlangqui hoi kahninawk to patuek pae o.
39So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40Piter mah nihcae to imthung hoi tacawtsak boih, khokkhu cangkrawn moe, lawk a thuih; kadueh qok bangah anghae moe, Tabitha, angthawk ah, tiah a naa. To naah nongpata loe mikpadai: nongpata mah Piter to hnuk naah, angthawk moe, anghnut.
40Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41Piter mah anih ih ban to patawnh moe, pathawk tahang; kaciim kaminawk hoi lamhmainawk to a kawk moe, nihcae khaeah kahing let nongpata to a paek.
41Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.
42To tamthang loe Joppa vangpui boih ah amthang, paroeai kaminawk mah Angraeng to tang o.
42This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
43Piter loe Joppa vangpui ah Simon, tiah ahmin kaom, moihin hui kami ih im ah, ni kasawk ah cam.
43And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
