Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
1Apollo Korin vangpui ah oh naah, Pawl loe aluek bang prae hoiah Efisa vangpui ah angzoh: toah thoemto hnukbang kaminawk to a hnuk,
2He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
2to naah nihcae khaeah, Na tang o pacoengah Kacai Muithla na hnuk o boeh maw? tiah a dueng; to naah nihcae mah, Kacai Muithla oh, tito ka thaih o vai ai, tiah pathim pae o.
3And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.
3Anih mah nihcae khaeah, to tih nahaeloe kawbaktih tuinuemhaih maw na hnuk o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Johan tuinuemhaih, tiah a naa o.
4Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
4Pawl mah, Johan tuinuemhaih loe dawnpakhuem tuinuemhaih ni, anih mah loe angmah hnukah angzo han koi kami to ni tang o hanah kaminawk khaeah thuih pae, to angzo han koi kami loe Jesu Kri thuih koehhaih ih ni, tiah a naa.
5When they heard this , they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
5Nihcae mah to lok to thaih o naah, Jesu Kri ih ahmin hoiah tuinuem o.
6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
6Pawl mah nihcae nuiah ban koeng pae naah, nihcae nuiah Kacai Muithla to angzoh; to naah nihcae mah kalah loknawk to apaeh o moe, lok to taphong o.
7And all the men were about twelve.
7Nihcae loe sungqum boih ah kami hatlai hnetto oh o.
8And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
8Pawl loe sineko thungah caeh moe, khrah thumto thung misahoihaih hoiah lokthuih, kaminawk Sithaw ukhaih prae ah paqoi thai hanah lok a thuih pae.
9But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
9Toe thoemto kaminawk loe palung thah o parai moe, a thuih ih lok to tang pae o ai, hae baktih Sithaw bokhaih loklam loe hoih ai, tiah kaminawk khaeah thuih pae o pongah, Pawl mah nihcae to caehtaak ving, hnukbang kaminawk hoi ampraek o pacoengah, Tyrana ca amtukhaih im ah nithokkruek ca to patuk.
10And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
10To tiah saning hnetto thung tok a sak, to pongah Asia prae ah kaom Judahnawk hoi Griknawk boih mah Angraeng Jesu ih lok to thaih o.
11And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
11Sithaw mah Pawl patohhaih rang hoiah dawnrai hmuennawk to sak:
12So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
12Pawl mah patoh ih pavawh hoi kaeng ah angzaeng ih kahni mataeng doeh ngantui ai kaminawk khaeah sinh pae o naah, to pavawh sui kaminawk boih ngantui o moe, kasae muithlanawk doeh nihcae thung hoiah tacawt o.
13¶ Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
13To naah taqawk haek thaih, Judahnawk mah, Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin hoiah kasae muithlanawk to haek hanah taqawk mah naeh ih kaminawk khaeah caeh o moe, Kami takoh thung hoi tacawt hanah Pawl mah taphong ih Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin hoiah lok kang paek, tiah a naa o.
14And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
14Kalen koek qaima, Judah kami, Sceva ih capa taruktonawk mah to tiah sak o.
15And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
15Kasae muithla mah, Jesu loe ka panoek, Pawl doeh ka panoek; toe nangcae loe mi aa? tiah a naa.
16And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
16To naah kasae muithla tawn kami mah nihcae to hmang, nihcae to apanh moe, pazawk; nihcae loe ahmaa cak o moe, to im hoiah bangkrai ah cawnh o ving.
17And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
17To hmuen kawng to Efisa vangpui ah kaom Judahnawk hoi Griknawk mah thaih o naah, nihcae loe zit o moe, Angraeng Jesu ih ahmin to pakoeh o.
18And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
18Pop parai tang caanawk angzoh o moe, a sak o ih hmuen kawng to taphong o.
19Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men : and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19Miklet kop kaminawk loe angmacae ih cabunawk to sinh o cuu moe, kaminawk hma ah hmai hoiah qoeng o: to cabu atho to nihcae mah pakoep o naah, sum phoisa sing pangato phak.
20So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
20To tiah Sithaw lok to qoeng moe, pung tahang.
21¶ After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
21To tiah hmuennawk oh pacoengah, Pawl loe Macedonia prae hoiah Akaia prae ah caeh poe moe, Jerusalem ah ka caeh pacoengah, Rom vangpui ah ka caeh han, tiah poekhaih a tawnh.
22So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
22Anih bomkung, Timote hoi Erasta to Macedonia prae ah patoeh, angmah loe Asia prae ah nawnetta thung cam vop.
23And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
23To nathuem ah bokhaih bang hoi kasaeng paroeai lokpunghaih to oh.
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
24Demetria, tiah ahmin kaom sum daeng kami maeto loe, Diana bokhaih im to sak pongah phoisa paroeai a hnuk;
25Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
25anih loe toksah ampuinawk hoi taqawk bokhaih im sah kaminawk to kawk moe, Ampuinawk, aicae loe hae tok a sak o haih hoiah paroeai amekhaih a hnuk o, tito na panoek o.
26Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
26Hae kami Pawl mah Efisa vangpui khue ai, Asia prae boih ah kami ban hoiah sak ih sithaw loe Sithaw tangtang na ai ni, tiah paroeai kaminawk to pacuek moe, loklam amkhraengsak boih boeh, tito na hnuk o moe, na thaih o boeh:
27So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
27to pongah kaminawk mah aicae ih tok hae kasae thui o tih, tiah doeh sah o mak ai boeh; lensawk Diana sithaw amno ih tempul doeh kaminawk mah khen o pasae ueloe, phrae o tih boeh; Asia prae boih hoi long pum mah bok o ih sithaw amno hoi sithaw lensawkhaih doeh anghmaa tih boeh, tiah a naa.
28And when they heard these sayings , they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
28To lok to nihcae mah thaih o naah, nihcae palungphui o moe, Efisa vangpui ih Diana hae len koek, tiah hang o.
29And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
29Vangpui loe lok angaekhaih hoiah koi: poek amhonghaih hoiah hnawhhaih imthung ah nawnto caeh o moe, Pawl hoi nawnto kholong kacaeh, Macedonia kami ah kaom, Kaia hoi Aristarka to naeh o.
30And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
30Pawl loe kaminawk salakah akun han koeh, toe hnukbang kaminawk mah pakaa pae o.
31And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
31Asia prae thungah kaom Pawl ih ampuinawk, thoemto angraengnawk mah doeh hnawhhaih imthung ah caeh han ai ah lokpat pae o.
32Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
32Toah kaom kaminawk loe poek anghmang o sut moe, maeto hoi maeto mah thuih ih lok lah boih pongah, paroeai kaminawk loe tipongah maw hae ah nawnto amkhueng o, tito panoek o ai.
33And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
33Alexander to pop parai kaminawk salak hoiah a zaeh o, Judahnawk mah anih to hmabang ah tanawt o. Alexander mah rangpuinawk khaeah lokthuih koeh pongah, ban hoi angmathaih to paek.
34But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
34Toe nihcae mah anih loe Judah kami ni, tiah panoek o naah loe, kaminawk boih mah lok maeto hoiah, Efisa kaminawk ih Diana hae len koek, tiah atue hnetto thung hang o.
35And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
35Avang thung ih ca tarik kami mah rangpui kaminawk to kamongah ohsak pacoeng ah, nangcae Efisa kaminawk, Efisa vangpui thungah kaom kaminawk loe Jupiter hoi kakrah tathuk kalen sawk Diana sithaw ih krang bok kami ah na oh o, tito panoek ai kami om tih maw?
36Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
36Hae lok hae mi mah doeh aek thai mak ai, to pongah kawbaktih hmuen doeh tha patohhaih hoi sah ai ah, na oh o duem han oh, tiah a naa.
37For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
37Hae kami hnik loe tempul ih hmuen paqu kami na ai ni, nangcae ih sithaw amno doeh kasae thui hoi ai to mah, haeah nang hoih o.
38Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
38Demetria hoi sum daeng angmah ih ampuinawk mah kaminawk nuiah palungphuihaih tawn o nahaeloe, lokcaekhaih ahmuen to oh: lokcaekkung doeh oh, toah maeto hoi maeto mikhmai kangtong ah lok a thuih o han oh.
39But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
39To pacoengah kalah hmuen kawng lokdueng han na koeh o nahaeloe, daan baktiah sak ih amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah lok to dueng han oh.
40For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
40Aicae pongah maw vaihniah kaom lokpunghaih hae oh moeng, tiah kho a poek o han oh, hae tiah rangpui angcuuhaih ahmuen ah thuih han koi lokpui parai maeto doeh om ai, tiah a naa.
41And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
41Anih mah to tiah lokthuih pacoengah, rangpui angcuuhaih to a boengsak.
