1Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
1Patoeh ih kaminawk hoi Judea prae thungah kaom nawkamyanawk loe Gentelnawk mah doeh Sithaw lok talawk o toeng boeh, tiah thaih o.
2When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
2Piter Jerusalem ah caeh naah, tangzat hin aat kaminawk mah anih khaeah,
3saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
3Tangzat hin aat ai kaminawk khaeah na caeh moe, nihcae hoi nawnto buh na caak, tiah naa o; to pongah anih to palungphui o thuih.
4But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
4Toe Piter mah to hmuen kawng to amtonghaih hoi boeng khoek to nihcae khaeah kamnoek ah a thuih pae.
5“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
5Kai loe Joppa vangpui ah ka oh moe, lawk ka thuih, to naah hmuen hnuksakhaih maeto ka hnuk: kalen pui kahni baktiah kaom takii palito kaom hmuen maeto van bang hoiah kai khaeah krak tathuk:
6When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
6to tiah kaom hmuen to ka khet naah, long nuiah kaom akhok palito kaom moinawk, moisannawk, long ah kavak hmuennawk hoi van ah kazawk tavaanawk to ka hnuk.
7I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
7To naah lok maeto ka thaih, to lok mah kai khaeah, Piter, angthawk ah, bop loe caa ah, tiah ang naa.
8But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
8Toe kai mah, Angraeng, angcoeng thai ai: caak vai ai ih hmuen, to tih ai boeh loe ciimcai ai hmuen roe ka pakha thungah akun vai ai vop, tiah ka naa.
9But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
9Toe van bang ih lok mah, Sithaw mah ciimcaisak tangcae hmuen to, nang mah caak vai ai ih hmuen, tiah thuih han om ai, tiah ang naa.
10This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
10To tiah vaithumto oh pacoengah, to hmuennawk to van bangah lak tahang let.
11Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
11Khenah, to nathuem ah Caesarea vangpui hoiah kai khaeah patoeh ih kami long thumtonawk loe ka ohhaih im ah phak o boeh.
12The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
12To pacoengah Kacai Muithla mah palunghaenghaih om ai ah, nihcae hoi nawnto caeh hanah ang thuih. Hae ih nawkamya taruktonawk doeh kai hoi nawnto caeh o toeng, to tiah kami maeto ih im ah ka kun o:
13He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
13to kami mah, Angmah im ah kangdoe van kami to a hnuk, van kami mah anih khaeah, Piter, tiah ahmin kaom Simon to kawk hanah, Joppa vangpui ah kami patoeh ah, tiah a thuih pae;
14who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
14nangmah hoi nangmah imthung takoh boih pahlonghaih na hnuk o hanah, anih mah nang hanah loknawk na thui pae tih, tiah ang naa, tiah kaicae khaeah ang thuih.
15As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
15Lokthuih kam tong naah, tangsuek naah aicae khaeah krak baktih toengah, nihcae nuiah Kacai Muithla to krak toeng.
16I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
16To naah Angraeng mah, Johan mah loe tui hoiah ni tuinuemhaih to paek, toe nangcae mah loe Kacai Muithla hoiah tuinuenhaih to na paek o tih, tiah thuih ih lok to ka panoek let.
17If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
17Aicae mah Angraeng Jesu Kri a tang o naah, Sithaw mah aicae khaeah paek ih tangqum baktih toengah, nihcae han doeh paek nahaeloe, kai mah kawbangah maw, Sithaw ih lok to ka aek thai tih? tiah a naa.
18When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
18To lok to a thaih o naah, nihcae loe anghngai o duem moe, Sithaw to saphaw o: to tiah nahaeloe Sithaw mah Gentelnawk han doeh hinghaih hnuk o hanah, dawnpakhuemhaih to paek boeh, tiah a thuih o.
19They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
19Stephen pongah pacaekthlaekhaih tongh pacoengah, ahmuen kruekah amhet kaminawk loe Phonicia, Cyprus hoi Antiok vangpui khoek to phak o, nihcae loe Judah kaminawk khae khue ah tamthanglok to thuih o.
20But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
20Nihcae thungah Cyprus, Cyrene hoiah angzo thoemto kaminawk loe Antiok vangpui ah caeh o moe, Grik kaminawk khaeah Angraeng Jesu ih tamthanglok to thuih o.
21The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
21Angraeng ih ban nihcae nuiah oh pongah, paroeai kaminawk mah tang o moe, Angraeng khaeah angqoi o.
22The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
22To tamthang to Jerusalem ah kaom kricanawk mah thaih o: to naah nihcae mah Barnabas to Antiok vangpui ah patoeh o.
23who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
23Anih to vangpui ah phak moe, Sithaw tahmenhaih to hnuk naah anghoehaih a tawnh; nihcae mah palungthin tang hoi kacakah Angraeng ah oh o poe thai hanah, nihcae boih khaeah thapaekhaih lok to a thuih pae.
24For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
24Anih loe kahoih kami ah oh, Kacai Muithla hoi tanghaih hoiah koi kami ah oh: paroeai kaminawk loe Angraeng khaeah angqoi o.
25Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
25To pacoengah Barnabas loe Saul to pakrong hanah, Tarsa vangpui ah caeh:
26When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
26Saul to a hnuk naah, anih to Antiok vangpui ah a hoih. Nihnik loe saningto thung kricanawk hoi nawnto angkom o moe, paroeai kaminawk to patuk hoi. Antiok vangpui ah kaom hnukbang kaminawk to Kricaa, tiah kawk o hmaloe.
27Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
27To nathuem ah tahmaanawk loe Jerusalem hoiah Antiok vangpui ah caeh o.
28One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
28Nihcae thung ih Agaba, tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto loe angthawk moe, Muithla panoeksakhaih rang hoiah long pum ah takaang thohhaih om tih, tiah taphong: to takaang thohhaih loe Klaudia Caesar ukhaih atue thungah oh)
29As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
29To pongah hnukbang kaminawk loe angmacae sak thaih thung Judea prae thungah kaom nawkamyanawk khaeah abomhaih paek hanah lokkhaeh o:
30which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
30to tiah a sak o pacoengah kacoehtanawk khaeah paek hanah, abomhaih tangqum to Barnaba hoi Saul ban ah paek o.
