Caeltueih 14
1 Ikoniam a pha vaengah Judah rhoek kah tunim la kun rhoi tih a thui bal dongah Judah neh Greek rhaengpuei te yet loh a tangnah uh.
At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Te vaengah olaek Judah rhoek loh namtom kah a hinglu te a cahoeh pa uh tih manuca rhoek te a hnaep uh.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3 Te dongah Boeipa ham sayalh la a tue puet a loh rhoi tih a lungvatnah ol te a phong. Miknoek neh khobae rhambae amih rhoi kut neh saii ham a paek.
So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.
4 Tedae kho khuikah rhaengpuei tah paek uh thae tih, hlangvang loh Judah rhoek taengah, hlangvang loh caeltueih rhoek taengah om uh.
The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.
5 Te vaengah amih rhoi neet ham neh dae hamla namtom rhoek khaw, Judah rhoek neh a boei rhoek khaw thathohnah a khueh.
But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,
6 A yaak uh vaengah Lukaonia kho rhoek, Lustra neh Derbe pingpang la yong uh tih,
they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,
7 olthangthen aka phong la pahoi om uh.
where they continued to preach the gospel.
8 Lustra ah tattloel hlang pakhat tah a kho dongah sut ngol. Anih tah a manu bung lamkah khawn coeng tih a pongpa noek moenih.
In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
9 Anih long khaw Paul kah a thui te a hnatun. Anih te Paul loh a hmaitang hatah a hoeih hamla tangnah a khueh te a hmuh.
This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.
10 Te dongah ol ue la, “Na kho dongah a dueng la pai,” a ti nah. Te daengah dawm soi tih cet.
In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.
11 Paul kah a saii te hlangping loh a hmuh uh vaengah a ol a huel uh tih Lukaonia ol neh, “Pathen rhoi tah hlang la ha saa uh tih mamih taengla ha rhum rhoi coeng,” a ti uh.
When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”
12 Paul tah olka neh aka poek la a om dongah Barnabas te Zeus, Paul te khaw Hermes a sui uh.
Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Kho taengah aka om Zeus khosoih long khaw hmueih nawn ham a ngaih dongah vaito neh rhaihulh te vongka kah hlangping taengla hang khuen.
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.
14 Tedae caeltueih rhoi Barnabas neh Paul loh a yaak rhoi vaengah a himbai te a phen rhoi phoeiah hlangping te a muk rhoi tih pang rhoi.
But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,
15 Te vaengah, “Ka hlang rhoek aw hekah he bahamlae na saii uh. Kaimih rhoi khaw nangmih bangla hlang van boeiloeih ni. A honghi lamloh aka hing Pathen taengla na bal uh ham ni nangmih taengah olthangthen thui la a om. Amah loh vaan neh diklai, tuitunli neh a khuikah aka om boeih khaw a saii.
“Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.
16 Khum tangtae rhuirhong khuiah khaw namtom boeih te amah loh a longpuei ah pongpa sak ham a khueh.
In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.
17 Te vaengah a then saii te a hlahpham tih amah kawng te a bil moenih. Khoning vaengah a thaitak la nangmih taengah vaan rhotui khaw m'paek dongah ni na thinko te buh neh omngaihnah neh a hah,” a ti nah rhoi.
Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Hnaeng hnaeng a thui rhoi long te ni amih rhoi taengah hmueih ngawn pawt ham hlangping te a duem sak pueng.
Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.
19 Te vaengah Antiok neh Ikonium lamkah aka pawk Judah rhoek loh hlangping te a yoek tih Paul te a dae uh. Anih te duek coini tila a poek uh dongah khopuei vongvoel la a mawt uh.
Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.
20 Tedae anih te hnukbang rhoek loh a vael uh vaengah thoo tih khopuei khuila kun. A vuen ah Barnabas neh Derbe la cet rhoi.
But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
21 Olthangthen a phong uh loh khopuei te muep a bang sak phoeiah Lustra, Ikonium neh Antiok la bal uh.
They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Hnukbang rhoek kah a hinglu te a thoh phoeiah, “Tangnah dongah ngol pai thai ham neh Pathen ram khuiah kun ham he mamih loh phacip phabaem muep tong ham a kuek, “tila a hloep.
strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
23 Hlangboel takuem ah amamih kah a ham la a coelh rhoek te khaw yaehnah neh thangthui uh tih aka tangnah te Boeipa amah taengah taengah a nawn uh.
Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
24 Te phoeiah Pisidia te a paan rhoi tih Pamphylia la pawk rhoi.
After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 Perga ah olka a thui rhoi tih Attalia la suntla rhoi.
And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 Te lamkah loh Antiok la kat rhoi. Te lamloh bibi coeng sak ham Pathen kah lungvatnah dongah tloeng la om coeng.
From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.
27 A pha rhoi vaengah hlangboel te a cului tih Pathen loh amih rhoi taengah a saii boeih neh namtom rhoek ham tangnah thohka a ong pah te a puen pah.
When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Tedae hnukbang rhoek taengah a tue a loh rhoi khaw yool van pawh.
And they spent a long time there with the disciples.
