1Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye the account which I now give unto you.
1Nawkamyanawk, ampanawk, vaihi nangcae khae kang thuih o ih kaimah hoi kaimah angvaehaih lok hae tahngai oh, tiah a naa.
2(And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.)
2Hebru lok hoiah Pawl mah nihcae khaeah lokthuih pae, tito a thaih o naah, nihcae loe angam o duem; anih mah,
3And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day:
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.
4Who persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
4Hae Angraeng bokhaih loklam pazui kaminawk to duek khoek to ka pacaekthlaek, nongpa nongpata tih ai, ka naeh moe, thongim thungah ka pakhrak.
5As the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the ancients: from whom also receiving letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus, that I might bring them bound from thence to Jerusalem to be punished.
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.
6And it came to pass, as I was going, and drawing nigh to Damascus at midday, that suddenly from heaven there shone round about me a great light:
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.
7And falling on the ground, I heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
7Kai loe long ah kam timh, to naah Saul, Saul, tipongah kai nang pacaekthlaek loe? tiah thuih ih lok to ka thaih.
8And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
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.
9And they that were with me, saw indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spoke with me.
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.
10And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Arise, and go to Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things that thou must do.
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.
11And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus.
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.
12And one Ananias, a man according to the law, having testimony of all the Jews who dwelt there,
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,
13Coming to me, and standing by me, said to me: Brother Saul, look up. And I the same hour looked upon him.
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.
14But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will, and see the Just One, and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth.
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.
15For thou shalt be his witness to all men, of those things which thou hast seen and heard.
15Na hnuk moe, na thaih ih hmuen pongah, kaminawk boih khaeah hnukung ah na om tih.
16And now why tarriest thou? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, invoking his name.
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.
17And it came to pass, when I was come again to Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance,
17Jerusalem ah kam laem let moe, tempul thungah lawk ka thuih naah, hmuen hnuksakhaih to ka hnuk;
18And saw him saying unto me: Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
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.
19And I said: Lord, they know that I cast into prison, and beat in every synagogue, them that believed in thee.
19Kai mah, Angraeng, Nang tanghaih tawn kaminawk thongim pakhrak moe, boh hanah, sineko kruekah ka caeh, tito nihcae mah panoek o:
20And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I stood by and consented, and kept the garments of them that killed him.
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.
21And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off, will I send thee.
21To naah anih mah kai khaeah, Caeh ah: hae ahmuen hoi angthla parai Gentelnawk khaeah kang patoeh han, tiah ang naa.
22And they heard him until this word, and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live.
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.
23And as they cried out and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,
23To tiah nihcae hang o pacoengah, angmacae ih khukbuen to asih o moe, maiphu to van ah a haeh o,
24The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him.
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.
25And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
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.
26Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune, and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.
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.
27And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me, art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea.
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.
28And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.
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.
29Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen, and because he had bound him.
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.
30But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the priests to come together, and all the council: and bringing forth Paul, he set him before them.
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.
