Caeltueih 16
1 Te phoeiah Derbe neh Lustra khaw a pha. Te vaengah hnukbang pakhat, a ming ah Timothy tah tapkhoeh om. Anih tah Judah nu uepom neh a napa Greek hoel kah a capa ni.
BUT a certain disciple was there whose name was Timotheus, the son of a certain Jihudoytha, a believer, and his father an Aramoya.
2 Lustra neh Ikonium kah manuca rhoek loh anih te a oep uh.
And all the disciples who were of Lystra and Ikonia testified concerning him.
3 Anih te Paul loh amah neh caeh puei a ngaih. Tedae te rhoek hmuen ah Judah rhoek khaw om tih a napa khaw Greek ni tila boeih a ming uh dongah anih te a khuen tih yahvin a rhet pah.
This Paulos willed to take with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jihudoyee who were in the place; for they all knew his father that he was an Aramoya.
4 Kho takuem la a pah rhoi vaengah Jerusalem kah caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek loh a tloek oltloek te ngaithuen ham khaw amih taengah a pak pah rhoi.
And when they had gone into the cities they preached and instructed them to keep those statutes which the apostles and presbyters who were in Urishlem had written.
5 Te dongah hlangboel rhoek loh tangnah dongah cak uh tih hnin takuem ah hlangmi loh pungtai.
So were the churches confirmed in the faith, and multiplied in number every day.
6 Phrygia neh Galatia paeng a hil rhoi vaengah Asia ah olka thui sak ham Cim Mueihla loh a mah.
But they went through the countries of Phrygia and Galatia; and the Spirit of Holiness forbad them, that they should not preach the word of Aloha in Asia.
7 Musia a pha uh vaengah Bitunia la caeh ham khaw a noem uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Jesuh Mueihla loh hlah pawh.
And when they came to the region of Mysia they willed to go from thence to Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jeshu permitted them not.
8 Te dongah Musia a poeng vaengah Troas la suntla uh.
AND when they had gone forth from Mysia they came to the region of Troas.
9 Khoyin ah a mangthui loh Paul taengla a phoe pah. Te vaengah Makedonia hlang pakhat loh pai tih anih te a hloep. Te phoeiah, “Makedonia la ha hlaikan lamtah kaimih m'bom lah,” a ti nah.
And in a vision of the night, Paulos saw as a certain man, a Makedonoia, who stood and besought him, saying, Come unto Makedunia and help me.
10 Mangthui a hmuh nen tah Makedonia la aka cet ham ni pahoi a toem coeng. Amih taengah olthangthen thui ham Pathen loh kaimih n'khue tila a cului.
But when Paulos had seen this vision, he immediately willed to go forth to Makedunia, for he understood that our Lord called us to evangelize them.
11 Te dongah Troas lamkah Smothrace la thaeng kat rhoi. A vuen ah kho thai la,
And we went from Troas and proceeded directly to Samuthracia, and from thence the day after we came to Neapolis the city,
12 te lamkah te Philipi la pawkuh. Philipi he Rom kuthmui kho khuiah Makedonia khosa kho tanglue la om. Tekah kho ah ka om uh vaengah khaw a tue bet ka loh uh.
and from thence to Philippos, which is the head of Makedunia, and is a colony. But we were in that city certain days.
13 Sabbath hnin ah vongka la voelh ka cet uh tih tuiva kaengah thangthuinah om ni tila ka poek uh. Te phoeiah ka ngol uh tih huta aka tingtun rhoek taengah ka thui pauh.
And we went out on the day of shabath without the gate of the city to the bank of the river, because there was seen a house of prayer; and sitting down we discoursed with the women who assembled there.
14 Te vaengah huta pakhat, a ming ah Lydia, Thyatira kho kah daidihni aka yoi tih Pathen aka bawk long khaw a hnatun. Paul loh a thui te ngaithuen hamla Boeipa loh a thinko a puk sak.
And a certain female, a seller of purple, who feared Aloha, her name was Lydia, of Theatira the city, (was there, ) whose heart our Lord opened, and she heard that which Paulos spake.
15 Tedae a imkhui long khaw a nuem sak. Te dongah, “Boeipa taengah uepom la om ham kai nan boelh uh atah ka im ah ha kun uh lamtah pah uh dae,” a ti tih n'hloep uh. Te phoeiah kaimih te tlal n'hloh.
And she was baptized, she and the sons of her house. And she besought us and said, If it be that you truly think that I have believed in our Lord, come, remain in my house; and she constrained us much.
16 Te vaengah thangthuinah la ka cet uh tih hmayuep rhai aka khueh salnu pakhat tah kaimih doe hamla ha moe. Anih long te a hma neh boei rhoek ham bi muep a coeng pah.
AND it was while we went to the house of prayer, a certain damsel met us in whom was a spirit of divination, and she had produced her lords much gain by her divination.
17 Anih loh Paul neh kaimih te n'hloem tih, “Hekah hlang rhoek tah Khohni Pathen kah sal rhoek pai ni. Amih long ni nangmih taengah khangnah longpuei a doek uh,” a ti tih pang.
And she came after Paulos and after us, and cried and said, These men are the servants of Aloha the Most High, and announce to us the way of salvation.
18 Te tlamte hnin takuem a saii coeng. Tedae Paul loh a yakdam dongah rhai te a mael thil tih, “Nang he Jesuh Khrih ming neh ol kan paek, anih lamloh cet laeh,” a ti nah hatah amah te vaeng tue ah pahoi nong.
And this she did many days. And Paulos was indignant, and said to that spirit, I command thee in the name of Jeshu Meshiha to come out of her. And in that hour it came out.
19 A bibi kah ngaiuepnah loh tal coeng tila a boei rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah Paul neh Silas te a tuuk uh tih hnoyoih hmuen kah boei rhoek taengla a mawt uh.
And when her lords saw that the hope of their gain had gone from her, they laid hold on Paulos and Shilo and drew them to the public place, and brought them unto the prefects and to the chiefs of the city,
20 Amih rhoi te imtawt boei taengla a thak uh tih, “Hekah hlang rhoi loh kho khuikah aka om Judah rhoek, kaimih he n'ngaelawn coeng.
and said, These men are troubling our city, because they are Jihudoyee,
21 Roman la aka om kaimih loh doe ham aka tueng pawt tih saii pawt koi khosing te a doek rhoi,” a ti uh.
and are preaching to us those rites which it is not permitted us to receive and perform, because we are Rumoyee.
22 Te dongah amih rhoi te hlangping loh a thoh thil. Te vaengah imtawt boei rhoek loh a himbai te a phen pah tih boh ham ol a paek.
And a great gathering assembled against them. Then the prefects rent their vestments, and commanded to scourge them.
23 Amih rhoi te lucik neh muep a nan phoeiah thongim ah a hlak uh tih, amih te rhep tawt ham thong boei te a uen.
And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the house of the bound, and commanded the keeper of the house of the bound to keep them watchfully.
24 Tebang olpaek aka dang loh amih rhoi te thongim khui la a khueh tih a kho te thinglong neh a khoh pah.
But he, having received this command, brought in and shut them in the inner house of the house of the bound, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Tedae ihdulh ah Paul neh Silas loh thangthui neh Pathen a hlai rhoi te amih thongtla rhoek long khaw a hnatun uh.
And in the dividing of the night, Paulos and Shilo prayed and glorified Aloha, and the chained-ones heard them.
26 Te vaengah lingluei te muep hinghuen tarha tih thongim kah khoengim khaw hlinghloek. Te dongah thohka te boeih ong uh tarha tih hlang boeih kah hloong khaw boeih hlam uh.
And suddenly there was a great trembling, and the foundations of the house of the bound trembled, and at once the doors of all were opened, and the chains of all were loosened.
27 Thong boei loh a haenghang vaengah thongim thohka a ah la a om te a hmuh. Te dongah cunghang te a yueh tih amah te ngawn uh la cai. Thongtla rhoek te poenghal ham ni a poek coeng.
And when the keeper of the house of the bound awoke, and saw that the doors of the house of the bound were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself, because he thought that the chained-ones had fled.
28 Tedae Paul tah ol ue la pang tih, “Namah te thae saii boeh. Boeih ka om uh ngawn ta he,” a ti nah.
And Paulos cried with a high voice and said to him, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
29 Hmaivang a bih tih a muk phai. Te vaengah a thuen neh om tih Paul neh Silas te a bakop thil.
And he kindled for himself a lamp, and sprang, and came, perturbed, and fell at the feet of Paulos and of Shilo:
30 Tedae amih rhoi te voelh a lamhma phoeiah, “Boeipa rhoi aw, daem hamla ka saii koinih balae a kuek eh?” a ti nah.
and he brought them without, and said to them, My lords, what behoveth me to do that I may be saved?
31 Amih rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa Jesuh te tangnah lamtah namah neh na imkhui khaw na daem bitni,” a ti nah.
And they said to him, Believe in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 Te vaengah anih neh a im khuikah aka om rhoek boeih taengah Boeipa olka te a thui pah.
And they spoke with him the words of the Lord, and with all the sons of his house.
33 Te daengah amih rhoi te a khuen tih amah khoyin tue ah boengha te a pawt pah. Te phoeiah amah neh a taengkah boeih te pahoi a nuem.
And in the same hour of that night, he took and washed them from their stripes, and was forthwith baptized, and all the sons of his house.
34 Te phoeiah amih rhoi te im la a khuen tih caboei a phaih pah. Te dongah Pathen aka tangnah loh a imko te ko a hoe sak.
And he took and brought them up into his house, and set for them the table, and exulted, he and the sons of his house, in the faith of Aloha.
35 Khothaih a pha vaengah imtawt boei loh palik a tueih tih, “Tekah hlang rhoi te hlah laeh,” a ti nah.
And when it was morning the prefects sent to the bearers of rods to say to the chief of the house of the bound, Loose those men.
36 Te dongah thong boei loh Paul taengah, “Nangmih hlah ham imtawt boei loh n'tueih uh coeng. Te dongah coe lamtah ngaimong la cet rhoi laeh, “ti ol te a puen pah.
AND when the chief of the house of the bound heard, he entered and spoke that word to Paulos, that the prefects have sent that you might he dismissed; and now go forth (and) proceed in peace.
37 Tedae amih te Paul loh, “Roman hlang la aka om kaimih he lungla maila langya ah m'boh uh tih thongim khuiah nan ng'khueh uh he a huep la kaimih n'haek uh aya? Te moenih, amamih ha lo uh saeh lamtah kaimih he n'doek uh saeh,” a ti nah.
Paulos saith to him, They scourged us in the eyes of the world, (we) being innocent, (and) Roman men, and threw us into the house of the bound; and now would they bring us forth secretly? No, indeed, but they shall come and bring us out.
38 Hekah ol he palik rhoek loh imtawt boei taengah a puen pa uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Roman hlang ni tila a yaak uh vaengah a rhih uh.
And the bearers of rods went and told the prefects these words which had been spoken to them. And when they heard that they were Rumoyee, they feared.
39 Te dongah ha lo uh tih amih rhoi te a hloep uh. Te phoeiah a doek uh tih kho khui lamkah nong sak ham a hloep uh.
And they came to them, and besought them to come forth and depart from the city.
40 Te dongah thongim lamloh cet rhoi tih Lydia taengla kun rhoi. Te vaengah manuca rhoek te a tong tih a hloep phoeiah cet rhoi.
And when they had gone forth from the house of the bound, they entered with Lydia, and there saw the brethren, and consoled them. And they went forth
