Toksahkungnawk 20

1 Lokpunghaih boeng pacoengah, Pawl mah hnukbang kaminawk to kawk moe, thapaekhaih lok a thuih pae; nihcae ban sin pacoengah, Macedonia prae ah a caeh.

Once the uproar had died down, Paul called the believers together and encouraged them. Then he said goodbye, and left for Macedonia.

2 To prae to caeh takui pacoengah, toah kaom kaminawk hanah thapaekhaih lok a thuih pae, to pacoengah Grik prae ah a caeh.

He passed through the area, sharing many words of encouragement with the believers there, and then traveled on to Greece.

3 Toah khrah thumto a cam. Anih loe Syria prae ah caeh hanah amsak, toe Judahnawk mah anih to angang o pongah, Macedonia prae bang hoi amlaem let hanah a poek.

After he had spent three months there and just as he was about to sail to Syria, it was discovered that the Jews were plotting against him. So he decided to return through Macedonia.

4 Berea vangpui kami, Sopater mah anih to Asia ah caeh haih, Aristarka hoi Thessalonika vangpui ih Senkunda, Derbe vangpui ih Kaia hoi Timote, Asia prae ih Tykhika hoi Trophima cae doeh athum o toeng.

These were the people who traveled with him: Sopater of Berea, the son of Pyrrhus; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.

5 Hae kaminawk loe caeh o hmaloe moe, Troas vangpui ah kaicae ang zing o.

They went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.

6 Toe taeh thuh ai ih takawcakhaih poih boeng naah loe, Philippi vangpui hoi palong hoiah ka caeh o, ni pangato naah Troas to ka phak o, to vangpui ah ni tarukto ka cam o.

After the Feast of Unleavened Bread we sailed from Philippi, and met them five days later in Troas, where we spent a week.

7 Ni tarukto thung ni hmaloe koekah loe, takaw a-aeh hanah hnukbang kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o; Pawl loe khawnbangah kholong caeh amsak pongah, qum taning khoek to lok a thuih.

Paul was speaking on the first day of the week as we gathered together to break bread. He was planning to leave in the morning, and went on speaking until midnight.

8 Nihcae nawnto amkhuenghaih im ranui ah loe hmai-im to oh mangh.

(The upstairs room where we were meeting was lit by many lamps.)

9 To naah Eutika, tiah ahmin kaom thendoeng maeto loe thokbuem taengah anghnut moe, iih angam; Pawl mah lokthuih li naah, anih loe iih ving, to tiah anih loe im ranui asom thumto hoiah krak tathuk, anih ih kadueh qok to akhuih o.

A young man called Eutychus was sitting in the window, and he began feeling very sleepy. As Paul went on speaking he fell sound asleep and tumbled down from the third story. When they picked him up they found he was dead.

10 Pawl loe anghum tathuk moe, thendoeng to tapom, mawn o hmah, a hinghaih oh vop, tiah a naa.

Paul went down, stretched himself out upon him, and hugged him. “Don't worry, he's alive,” he said.

11 To pacoengah im ranui asom ah caeh tahang, takaw to a-aeh moe, a caak o, khodai khoek to lokthuih pacoengah, kholong ah a caeh.

Paul went back upstairs, broke bread, and ate together with them. He went on talking with them until dawn came, and then he left.

12 Kaminawk mah thendoeng to kahing ah im ranui ah caeh o haih, nihcae loe toah kamong ah oh o.

They took the young man home alive and well, and were very thankful for this.

13 Kaicae loe Assos vangpui ah kacaeh palong hoiah ka caeh o hmaloe, toah Pawl hoi nawnto palong hoi caeh hanah kam sak o, toe Pawl loe to vangpui karoek to khok hoi caeh hanah amsak.

We went on ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos. There we were due to pick up Paul, since that was what he had planned as he decided to travel on foot.

14 Anih hoi Asso vangpui ah kang qum o naah, anih to kalak o moe, Mytilene vangpui ah palong hoiah ka caeh o.

He did indeed meet us at Assos. We picked him up, and went on to Mitylene.

15 To vangpui hoiah palong hoi ka caeh o moe, khawnbangah Kios vangpui to ka phak o; omvaih niah Samos vangpui to ka phak o, Trogyllium ah kang hak o moe, khawnbangah Mileta vangpui to ka phak o.

Sailing on from there we arrived off Kios, and the next day we stopped briefly at Samos, and the following day we arrived at Miletus.

16 Pawl loe angcoeng thaih nahaeloe Pentecost ni pha ai naah Jerusalem vangpui to phak han koeh pongah, Asia prae ah atue patoh han koeh ai, to pongah Efisa vangpui ah cam ai ah, caeh poe han poekhaih a tawnh.

Paul had planned to sail on past Ephesus so he wouldn't have to spend time in the province of Asia. He was keen to get to Jerusalem in time for the Day of Pentecost.

17 Efisa vangpui ih kricaabu zaehoikung kacoehtanawk anih khaeah angzoh o hanah, Pawl mah Miletus hoiah kami patoeh.

From Miletus Paul sent a message to the elders of the church in Ephesus.

18 To kaminawk anih khae phak o naah, Pawl mah nihcae khaeah, Asia prae ah ka phak tangsuek nathuem hoi kamtong, vaihi karoek to nangcae salakah kawbangmaw kho ka sak,

When they arrived, he told them, “You know how I always behaved while I was with you from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.

19 kai loe poek pahnaemhaih, mikkhraetui paroeai longhaih, tanoekhaihnawk, Judahnawk mah kai hum han pacaenghaihnawk to ka tongh, to tiah kaom hmuen thung hoiah ni Angraeng ih tok ka sak, tito nang panoek o.

I served the Lord in humility and in tears. I put up with the troubles and stress caused by the plots of the Jews.

20 Nangcae han atho kaom hawk ih hmuen tidoeh om ai, kamtueng ah ni im maeto pacoeng maeto ah kang patuk o.

However, I never held back from sharing with you anything that would be to your benefit, and I taught you in public, going from house to house.

21 Sithaw ah dawnpakhuemhaih tawnh o moe, aicae Angraeng Jesu tanghaih a tawnh o thai hanah, Judah hoi Grik kaminawk khaeah lok ka thuih.

I witnessed both to Jews and Greeks that it was essential to repent and turn to God, and to trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Khenah, Muithla mah pacaehaih rang hoiah vaihi Jerusalem ah ka caeh han, toah kawbaktih hmuen maw ka nuiah pha tih, tito ka panoek ai:

Now the Spirit is insisting that I go to Jerusalem, and I have no idea what will happen to me there.

23 ka caeh ih vangpui kruekah, thongim krak moe, ka tongh han koi karai hmuennawk kawng to Kacai Muithla mah ang thuih.

All I know is that in every city I visit the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and suffering are waiting for me.

24 Toe Sithaw tahmenhaih, kahoih tamthanglok hae ka thuih moe, Angraeng Jesu khae hoi ka hnuk ih, ka sak han koi tok hae, anghoehaih hoiah ka sak thai hanah, pacaekthlaekhaihnawk loe tiah doeh ka poek ai, ka hinghaih doeh ka paawt ai.

But I don't consider my life as worth anything to me. I only want to finish my mission and the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave to me, to witness to the good news of the grace of God.

25 Khenah, nangcae khae boih ah Sithaw ukhaih prae tamthanglok thuih hanah ka caeh boeh, vaihi mi mah doeh kai ih krang hnu o let mak ai boeh, tiah ka panoek.

Now I am certain that you will not see my face again, you among whom I shared the news of the kingdom.

26 To pongah kai loe kaminawk boih ih athii hoiah ka ciim, tiah vaihniah kang thuih o.

So I declare to you today that I am not responsible if anyone is lost.

27 Angphat ai ah Sithaw koehhaih to nangcae khaeah kang thuih o boih boeh.

I didn't hesitate to tell you everything God wants you to know.

28 To pongah nangcae loe acoehaih hoiah khosah oh, Kacai Muithla mah khenzawnkung ah ang suek o baktih toengah, tuucaanawk boih to kahoihah khenzawn oh, angmah ih athii hoi qan tangcae ih Sithaw kricaabu khenzawnkung ah om oh.

Take care of yourselves and of all the flock, which the Holy Spirit has given to you to supervise. Feed the Lord's church which he bought with his own blood.

29 Ka caeh pacoengah, nangcae salakah kasan tasuinawk angzo o tih, tuucaanawk to paquem o mak ai, tito ka panoek.

I know that after I leave vicious wolves will come among you, and won't spare the flock.

30 Hnukbang kaminawk nihcae hnukah bangsak ving hanah, loklam amkhraenghaih lokthui kami loe, nangmacae thung hoiah ni tacawt tih.

From among your own group men will rise up perverting what is right and good so they can lead believers to follow them.

31 To pongah acoehaih hoiah om oh, saning thumto thung aqum athun mikkhraetui hoiah kang patuk o ih lok to pahnet o hmah.

So watch out! Don't forget that for three years I went on instructing all of you night and day, often crying over you.

32 Nawkamyanawk, vaihi angmah ih tahmenhaih lok hoiah Sithaw khaeah kang aap o, ciimcai kaminawk khae boih ah qawk paek hanah, to lok mah na qoeng o sak tih.

Now I commit you in God's care and to the message of his grace, which is able to build you up and provide you with the inheritance that belongs to all who are kept right with him.

33 Kai loe minawk ih phoisa maw, to tih ai boeh loe sui maw, to tih ai boeh loe khukbuennawk maw khithaih ka tawn ai.

I never had any desire for anyone's silver or gold or clothing.

34 Ue, kaimah hoi kam puinawk angaihaih akoep thai hanah, kaimah ih ban hoiah ni tok ka sak, tito na panoek o.

You know that I worked with my own hands to provide for my own needs, as well as for those who were with me.

35 Hae tiah toksakhaih hoiah thazok kaminawk to na bomh o han angaih, tito kang patuek o boeh, Anih mah, Talawk pongah loe paek to tahamhoihhaih oh kue, tiah thuih: to tiah Angraeng Jesu mah thuih ih lok to pahnet o hmah.

I have given you an example in everything: work to help those who are weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

36 Hae loknawk a thuih boih pacoengah, nihcae boih hoi nawnto khokkhu cangkrawn o moe, lawk a thuih o.

When he finished speaking, he kneeled down and prayed with all of them.

37 Nihcae loe qah o boih, Pawl to takop o moe, a mok o,

They all wept as they hugged and kissed him.

38 ka krang na hnu o let mak ai boeh, tiah a thuih ih lok pongah, nihcae loe paroeai palungset o. To pacoengah nihcae mah palong anghakhaih ahmuen karoek to thak o.

What upset them the most was what he said about never seeing him again... Then they walked down to the ship with him.
