1Anih a ngawnnah te aka rhoih la Sual khaw om. Te vaeng tue ah a nah la hlangboel hnaemtaeknah te Jerusalem ah om. Te dongah caeltueih rhoek bueng pawt atah hlang boeih loh Judea neh Samaria paeng tom la palang uh.
1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
2Stephen te aka cuep hlang rhoek loh a up uh tih anih te rhangsaenah a saii uh.
2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
3Tedae Saul tah im takuem la kun tih hlangboel te a phae. Huta tongpa te a mawt tih thongim ah a thak.
3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
4Te dongah aka palang rhoek long khaw caeh lam ah olthangthen a thui uh.
4Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
5Te vaengah Philip tah Samaria kho la cet tih amih taengah Khrih te a hoe.
5Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
6Philip loh a thui te hlangping loh a hnatung tih huek a yaak uh vaengah miknoek a saii te a hmuh uh.
6The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
7Rhalawt mueihla aka kaem rhoek te khaw ol ue la pang uh tih muep nong uh. Aka khawn neh aka khaem rhoek khaw muep hoeih uh.
7For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
8Te dongah khopuei khuiah omngaihnah te muep om.
8There was great joy in that city.
9Te vaengah kho khuikah aka om noek hlang pakhat, a ming ah Simon loh hlang a bi tih khat khat taengah amah te a len la om ham a ti dongah Samaria namtu te a limlum sak.
9But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
10Anih te a yit a len hlang boeih loh a hnatung uh tih, “A khuet la a khue Pathen kah a thaomnah ni he,” a ti uh.
10to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
11Amih te kum te yet khuiah hlangbi neh a limlum sak dongah ni anih te a hnatung uh.
11They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
12Tedae Philip loh a phong Pathen ram kawng neh Jesuh Khrih ming te a tangnah uh dongah huta tongpa a nuem.
12But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13Simon amah long khaw a tangnah dongah a nuem tih Philip taengah aka khuituk la coeng. Miknoek neh thaomnah tanglue a saii te a hmuh vaengah limlum.
13Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
14Samaria loh Pathen kah olka a doe te Jerusalem kah caeltueih rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah amih taengla Peter neh Johan te a tueih uh.
14Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
15A suntlak rhoi vaengah Mueihla Cim dang uh van saeh tila amih ham thangthui rhoi.
15who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
16Boeipa Jesuh ming neh nuem tangtae la om uh coeng dae, amih te Mueihla Cim loh pakhat khaw tlak thil la om hlan.
16for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
17Te dongah amih te kut a tloeng thil rhoi tih Mueihla Cim a dang uh.
17Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18Caeltueih rhoek kah kut a tloengnah lamloh Mueihla a paek te Simon loh a hmuh vaengah amih taengla tangka a khuen tih,
18Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
19“Tahae kah saithainah he kai khaw m'pae uh lamtah kut ka tloeng thil sarhui loh Mueihla Cim dang van saeh,” a ti nah.
19saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20Tedae Peter loh anih te, “Pathen kah kutdoe he tangka la kaelh ham na poek dongah, na tangka te namah taengah pocinah la om saeh.
20But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
21He olka dongah na hmulung neh khoyo a om moenih. Na thinko te Pathen hmaiah thaeng a om moenih.
21You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
22Na phayoenah he yut lamtah Boeipa taengah thangthui. Na thinko kah mangtaengnah loh nang n'hlah vuek khaming.
22Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23Olkhaa hmuet neh boethae kah pinyennah khuiah na om te ka hmuh,” a ti nah.
23For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
24Te dongah Simon loh a doo tih, “Boeipa taengah kai hamla nangmih loh thangtui uh lamtah na thui te kai soah ha thoeng boel saeh,” a ti nah.
24Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
25Te rhoek long te a uen uh tih Boeipa kah olka a thui pa uh phoeiah, Jerusalem la bal uh. Samaria kah kho te yet te khaw olthangthen phong pa uh.
25They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
26Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn loh Philip te a voek tih, “Thoo, tuithim long ben la cet lamtah , Jerusalem lamloh Gaza la suntla thuk. Te ah te khosoek om lah ko,” a ti nah.
26Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
27Te dongah thoo tih a caeh vaengah Ethiopia manghai nu Kandaki kah hlueikhu mangpa Ethiopia hlang pakhat lawt hum uh. Anih loh manghai nu kah khohrhang boeih a om thil. Te vaengah anih khaw bawk hamla Jerusalem ah ha lo.
27He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
28Te tlam te om tih a bal vaengah amah kah leng khuiah ngol tih tonghma Isaiah te a tae.
28He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29Te vaengah Philip te Mueihla loh, “Leng ke paan lamtah ben lah,” a ti nah.
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
30Puk a cuk vaengah tonghma Isaiah a tae te Philip loh a yaak tih, “Na tae te na yakming van nim te,” a ti nah.
30Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31Anih van long khaw, “Pakhat loh kai he long n'tueng pawt atah metlam ka coeng thai van eh?,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amah taengla luei tih ngol hamla Philip te a cael.
31He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
32Te dongah a tae olcim kah a hmuet a hma tah he tlam he om. Tu bangla maeh la a mawt tih, tuca bangla a mul aka rhuep hmaiah olmueh la om. Te dongah a ka khaw ang pawh.
32Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
33Amah kah laitloeknah loh amah te mathoe khuila a khuen. A hingnah te diklai lamkah a loh pah coeng dongah a rhuirhong te u long a thui eh?
33In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
34Te vaengah hlueikhu boei loh Philip te a doo tih, “Nang kan dawt lah eh, tahae kah a thui tonghma he u nim ca? Amah kawng a? A tloe khat khat kah a kawng a?” a ti nah.
34The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
35Te dongah Philip loh a ka a ong tih cacim lamloh a tong phoeiah Jesuh te anih taengah a phong.
35Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
36Long te a caeh phai rhoi vaengah tui pakhat te a pha rhoi. Te vaengah hlueikhu boei loh, “Tui ke, nuem ham ba long lae kai n'kang,” a ti nah.
36As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
37Te dongah Philip loh, “Na thinko boeih neh na tangnah nim ca?,” a ti nah hatah, “Jesuh Khrih tah Pathen capa ni tila ka tangnah,” a ti nah.
no verse 37 in this text
38Te dongah leng te pai sak ham ol a paek . Te phoeiah Philip khaw, hlueikhu boei khaw, tui khuila bok suntla rhoi tih anih te a nuem.
38He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
39Tedae tui lamkah loh ha yoeng hang vaengah Philip te Boeipa kah Mueihla loh vik a khuen. Te vaengah hlueikhu boei loh anih te hmu voel pawh. Tedae a caehlong ah omngaih la cet.
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
40Te phoeiah Philip tah Azotus ah phoe tih, aka cet te Kaisarea a pha hlan khuiah khopuei takuem la olthangthen a phong.
40But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
