King James Version with Apocrypha
1Paul te Agrippa loh, “Namah kawng na thui thai coeng,” a ti nah. Te dongah Paul loh kut a yueng tih,
1Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
2“Manghai Agrippa, Judah rhoek loh n'tingtoeh kawng boeih dongah tihnin kah namah hmaiah huul uh ham ka cai he yoethen la ka poek.
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:
3Olpuei la Namah khaw Judah rhoek kah khosing neh oldawtnah boeih aka ming la na om. Ka ol he vawlhvawlh na hnatun ham kam bih.
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.
4A tongcuek lamloh ka namtu taengah ka om tih Jerusalem ah ka camoe lamkah ka om ka ih khaw Judah rhoek loh boeih a ming uh.
4My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
5Bawknah khuiah kaimih kah buhlaelh he a cuep kahlik vanbangla Pharisee pakhat la ka hing te, phong sak ham ngaih uh cakhaw kai he m'ming uh hlaai coeng.
5Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6Tahae ah he Pathen loh a khueh olkhueh, a pa rhoek taengkah ngaiuepnah dongah ka pai nen ni lai n'tloek thil.
6And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
7Kamah pacaphung loh khoyin khothaih thahluenah neh a bawk tih pha hamla a ngaiuep. Manghai aw, te ngaiuepnah kawng dongah ni Judah rhoek loh n'tingtoeh.
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.
8Pathen loh aka duek a thoh coeng atah ba dongah lae nangmih loh aka tangnahmueh bangla lai na tloek uh.
8Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
9Kai kamah khaw Nazareth Jesuh ming te a kingkalh la muep saii thil ham a kuek tila kana poek thil van.
9I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10Jerusalem ah khaw ka saii tih, khosoihham rhoek taengkah saithainah ka dang dongah hlangcim te yet te thongim ah kamah loh ka uup coeng. Amih aka ngawn rhoek kah lungcang khaw ka kuk coeng.
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 .
11Tunim takuem ah khaw amih te tholhphu ka paek taitu tih, soehsal ham khaw ka tanolh coeng. Te vaengah taoe ka angsai tih kho voel duela amih te ka hnaemtaek.
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.
12Khosoihham rhoek kah saithainah, kotluepnah neh Damasku la ka cet.
12Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13Manghai aw, longpuei kah khothun lung ah, vaan khomik kah a aa aka poe vangnah loh kamah neh ka taengkah aka cet hmaih rhoek te phuk n'tue te ka hmuh.
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.
14Diklai la boeih ka bung uh vaengah ol pakhat ka yaak tih Hebrew ol la kai taengah, “ Saul, Saul, ba ham lae kai nan hnaemtaek, suehling thuih ham te na mangkhak aih mai,” a ti.
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.
15Te vaengah kamah loh u nang nim ca Boeipa,” ka ti nah. Te dongah Boeipa loh, ' Kai tah nang loh na hnaemtaek Jesuh ni .
15And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16Tedae thoo lamtah namah kho dongah pai laeh. Kai taengla na moe tih nang taengla ka moe van vaengkah tueihyoeih neh laipai la nang coelh ham ni nang taengah ka phoe .
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;
17Pilnam neh namtom kut lamkah nang aka hlawt, kamah long ni amih mik dai sak ham ,
17Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18yinnah lamkah vangnah la, Satan kah saithainah lamloh Pathen taengla bal puei ham, amih te tholh khodawkngainah, kai dongah tangnah neh a ciim tangtae rhoek taengah hmulung dang sak ham amih taengla nang kan tueih ,’ a ti.
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.
19Te dongah manghai Agrippa aw, vaan mangthui te aka lokhak la ka om moenih.
19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20Tedae lamhma la Damasku ah, te phoeiah Jerusalem, Judea paeng pum neh namtom rhoek taengah khaw tholh yut tih Pathen taengla mael sak ham, yutnah neh a tingtawk la khoboe hlawt ham ni ka puen pah.
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.
21Te dongah ni bawkim khuiah aka om kai he Judah rhoek loh n'tuuk tih ngawn ham m'moeh uh.
21For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me .
22Tedae Pathen taengkah bomnah ka dang dongah ni tihnin due tanoe kangham taengah ka pai tih ka laipai. Hmailong ah om hamla cai tih tonghma rhoek neh Moses loh a thui te a pueh la ka thui moenih.
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:
23Khrih loh patang cakhaw, pilnam neh namtom taengah vangnah te doek ham a cai dongah aka duek khuiah thohkoepnah loh a lamhma sak,” a ti nah.
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.
24Te nen te a huul uh dongah Phesto loh ol ue neh, “Paul, na ang coeng, na cabu cungkuem loh lutlatnah la m'vil coeng,” a ti nah.
24And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25Tedae Paul loh, “Hlangcong Phesto aw ka ang moenih, oltak neh cuepmueihnah ol ni ka thui.
25But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26He kawng he manghai loh a ming coeng dongah amah taengah khaw sayalh la ka thui. Anih ham pakhat khaw ka phah tih ka rhoih pawt moenih. Congket kah aka om khaw a saii mai he.
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.
27Manghai Agrippa, tonghma rhoek ke na tangnah a? Na tangnah te ka ming,” a ti nah.
27King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28Te vaengah Paul te Agrippa loh, “Khrihca la saii ham kai khaw rhaih nan yoek coeng he,” a ti nah.
28Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29Tedae Paul loh, “Nang bueng pawt tih tihnin kah kai ol aka hnatun rhoek boeih he khaw hloong kah a voel ah he kamah ka om bangla metlam a om poek eh tite Pathen taengah a toi a sen la ka thangthui,” a ti nah.
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.
30Te vaengah manghai khaw, khoboei khaw, Bernike khaw, amih taengkah aka ngol rhoek khaw boeih thoo uh.
30And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31A khoe uh phoeiah tah pakhat pakhat taengah thui uh thae tih, “Hekah hlang loh a saii he pakhat pataeng dueknah nen khaw, hloong nen khaw a tiing moenih,” a ti uh.
31And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32Te dongah Agrippa loh Phesto taengah, “Hekah hlang loh Kaisar te pha voel pawt cakhaw hlah hamla coeng thai,” a ti nah.
32Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar.
