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 the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both 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 Jews who had refused obedience stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brethren.
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.
Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.
4 Tedae kho khuikah rhaengpuei tah paek uh thae tih, hlangvang loh Judah rhoek taengah, hlangvang loh caeltueih rhoek taengah om uh.
At length the people of the city split into parties, some siding with the Jews and some 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.
And when a hostile movement was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with the sanction of their magistrates, to maltreat and stone them,
6 A yaak uh vaengah Lukaonia kho rhoek, Lustra neh Derbe pingpang la yong uh tih,
the Apostles, having become aware of it, made their escape into the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe, and the neighbouring country.
7 olthangthen aka phong la pahoi om uh.
And there they continued to tell the Good News.
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.
Now a man who had no power in his feet used to sit in the streets of Lystra. He had been lame from his 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.
After this man had listened to one of Paul's sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily at him and perceiving that he had faith to be cured,
10 Te dongah ol ue la, “Na kho dongah a dueng la pai,” a ti nah. Te daengah dawm soi tih cet.
said in a loud voice, "Stand upright upon your feet!"
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.
So he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, rent the air with their shouts in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The gods have assumed human form and have come down to us."
12 Paul tah olka neh aka poek la a om dongah Barnabas te Zeus, Paul te khaw Hermes a sui uh.
They called Barnabas 'Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, 'Hermes.'
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.
And the priest of Zeus--the temple of Zeus being at the entrance to the city--brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, and in company with the crowd was intending to offer sacrifices to them.
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 the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, "Sirs, why are you doing all this?
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.
We also are but men, with natures kindred to your own; and we bring you the Good News that you are to turn from these unreal things, to worship the ever-living God, the Creator of earth and sky and sea and of everything that is in them.
16 Khum tangtae rhuirhong khuiah khaw namtom boeih te amah loh a longpuei ah pongpa sak ham a khueh.
In times gone by He allowed all the nations to go their own ways;
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.
and yet by His beneficence He has not left His existence unattested--His beneficence, I mean, in sending you rain from Heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and joyfulness."
18 Hnaeng hnaeng a thui rhoi long te ni amih rhoi taengah hmueih ngawn pawt ham hlangping te a duem sak pueng.
Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices 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.
But now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be 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.
When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe;
21 Olthangthen a phong uh loh khopuei te muep a bang sak phoeiah Lustra, Ikonium neh Antiok la bal uh.
and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps 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.
Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God."
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.
And in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested.
24 Te phoeiah Pisidia te a paan rhoi tih Pamphylia la pawk rhoi.
Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;
25 Perga ah olka a thui rhoi tih Attalia la suntla rhoi.
and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.
26 Te lamkah loh Antiok la kat rhoi. Te lamloh bibi coeng sak ham Pathen kah lungvatnah dongah tloeng la om coeng.
Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now 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.
Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.
28 Tedae hnukbang rhoek taengah a tue a loh rhoi khaw yool van pawh.
And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.
