Caeltueih 21
1 Amih taeng lamloh ka khoe uh tih ka kat ham a om vaengah Koce la, a vuen ah Rhodo la, te lamkah loh Patria la thaeng ka pawk uh.
And it came to pass, when we set sail, having torn ourselves from them, running a straight course, we came unto Cos, and, on the next day, unto Rhodes, —and from thence unto Patara;
2 Te vaengah Phoiniki la aka hlaikan sangpho te ka hmuh uh dongah ka ngol uh tih ka kat uh.
and, finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, going on board, we set sail.
3 Tedae Kupros a tueng vaengah banvoei la ka phael uh. Syria la ka hlaikan uh tih sangpho te hnopai hal ham a om dongah Tyre ah ka duem uh.
And, sighting Cyprus, and leaving it behind to the left, we held on our voyage to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for, there, the ship was to discharge her cargo.
4 Te vaengah hnukbang rhoek neh pahoi ka hum uh tih hnin rhih ka om uh. Jerusalem la Paul a kun pawt ham amih te mueihla loh a thui sak.
And, finding up the disciples, we remained there seven days, and they, unto Paul, began to say, through the Spirit, that he would gain no footing in Jerusalem.
5 Tedae khohnin a cuum tom vaengah kaimih khaw caeh ham ka khoe uh tih kaimih te khopuei vongvoel duela huta camoe boeih loh n'thak uh. Te vaengah tuikaeng ah khuklu cungkueng neh thangthui tih khat neh khat ka phih uh thae.
And, when it came to pass that we had completed the days, we went forth, and continued our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, as far as outside the city; and, kneeling down on the beach in prayer,
6 Te phoeiah sangpho khuila ka yoeng uh tih amih khaw a im la bal uh.
we tare ourselves from each other, and we went on board the ship, while, they, returned unto their homes.
7 Tedae Tyre lamloh Patolema ka pha uh vaengah yincaeh te ka khah uh. Te vaengah manuca rhoek te ka voek uh tih amih te hnin at ka om puei uh.
And, we, finishing the voyage from Tyre, reached Ptolemais, and, saluting the brethren, abode one day with them;
8 A vuen ah ka cet uh tih Kaiserea te ka pha uh. Te vaengah olthangthen aka thui parhih khuikah aka om Philip im khuila ka kun uh tih anih taengah ka rhaeh uh.
and, on the morrow departing, we came to Caesarea, and, entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.
9 Anih taengah aka tonghma tah canu oila pali om.
Now—this man, had four virgin daughters, who used to prophesy.
10 Khohnin a sen a om phoeiah atah Judah tonghma pakhat, a ming ah Agabus te ha suntla,
And, as we stayed on many days, there came down a certain man from Judaea, a prophet, by name Agabus;
11 Tedae kaimih taengla ha pawk vaengah Paul kah cihin te hang khuen tih a kut a kho te a yen. Te phoeiah, “'Hekah cihin kungmah la aka om hlang te Jerusalem ah Judah rhoek loh a pin vetih namtom kut ah a voeih ni, 'tila Mueihla Cim loh a thui,” a ti.
and, coming unto us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said—Thus, saith the Holy Spirit, the man whose this girdle is, shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver up into the hands of Gentiles.
12 Te te ka yaak uh vaengah kaimih neh khokung khomah rhoek long khaw Jerusalem la caeh pawt ham amah te ka hloep uh.
And, when we heard these things, both, we, and they of the place began beseeching him, not to go up unto Jerusalem.
13 Te vaengah Paul loh, “Rhah te na saii uh tih ka thin paeng, Tedae kai tah Jerusalem ah pin ham bueng pawt tih Boeipa Jesuh ming dongah duek ham khaw sikim la ka om coeng,” a ti nah.
Then, answered Paul—What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For, I, not only to be bound, but to die in Jerusalem, am ready, in behalf of the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Te dongah anih te ngaiyak voel kolla ka paa uh tih Boeipa kah kongaih bangla om ka ti uh.
And, as he was not to be persuaded, we ceased, saying—the Lord’s, will be done!
15 Khohnin te muep a thok phoeiah Jerusalem la caeh ham ka hlah uh.
And, after these days, making ready what we had, we started to go up unto Jerusalem;
16 Te vaengah Kaiserea lamkah hnukbang rhoek khaw kaimih taengla m'puei uh tih hnukbang rhuem pakhat, Kuporos hoel Manason taengah pah hamla n'thak uh.
and there went certain also of the disciples from Caesarea, along with us, who were to introduce us unto one with whom we might be entertained, one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple.
17 Te dongah Jerusalem la ka pawk uh vaengah kaimih he manuca rhoek loh hlaehlae n'doe uh.
Now, when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren, gladly welcomed us.
18 A vuen ah Paul tah kaimih neh James taengah ka kun uh tih a ham rhoek khaw boeih ha pawk uh.
And, on the next day, Paul went in with us unto James, and, all the elders, were present.
19 Te vaengah amih te a voek tih a bibi dongah Pathen loh namtom rhoek ham a saii pah te pakhat phoeiah pakhat rhip a thui pah.
And, saluting them, he went on to narrate, one by one, each of the things which God had wrought among the nations through his ministry.
20 Te dongah aka ya rhoek loh Pathen te a thangpom uh tih anih te, “Manuca nang, Judah khuiah aka tangnah rhoek te a thawng a sang la muep om uh tih olkhueng neh aka hmae la boeih a om uh khaw na hmuh coeng.
And, they, having heard, began glorifying God; and they said to him—Thou observest, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jews who have believed, and, all, are zealous for the law.
21 Nang kawng khaw a thuituen uh. Namtom bangla Judah pum te Moses taeng lamloh a phaelhnah ni na thuituen. Ca rhoek kah a yahvin a rhet pawt neh a khosing dongah a pongpa pawt ni na thui.
Now they have heard it rumoured concerning thee, that, an apostacy, art thou teaching, from Moses, unto all the Jews, who are among the nations, telling them not to be circumcising their children, nor, by the customs, to be walking.
22 Namah na pawk he rhep a yaak uh vaengah metlam nim a om ve.
What, then, is it? at all events, they will hear that thou hast come.
23 Te dongah ka thui uh bangla nang loh saii laeh. Amamih ah paipi aka khueh hlang pali loh kaimih taengah om,
This, then, do, which unto thee, we say: —We have four men who have a vow upon themselves.
24 Te rhoek te khuen lamtah amih neh ciim laeh. A lu a vok vaengkah ham khaw tangka te hnonah thil, Te daengah ni nang kawng a thui uh te a hong ni tila hlang boeih loh a ming eh. Tedae olkhueng aka tuem long tah namah khaw vai van.
Taking these unto thee, be purified with them, and spend something upon them, that they may shave their head; and all will get to know, that the things which they have heard rumoured concerning thee, are, nothing, —on the contrary, thou thyself, dost keep the ranks, guarding the law.
25 Aka tangnah namtom rhoek kawng dongah mueirhol buh neh thii, rhawnkhak neh Cukhalnah he rhael ham ol ka tloek uh tih ca ka pat uh coeng,” a ti uh.
But, concerning them of the nations who have believed, we ourselves, sent, deciding that they should be guarding themselves, both as to idol sacrifice, and blood, and what is strangled, and fornication.
26 Te dongah hlang rhoek te Paul loh a khuen tih, hnin at a om phoeiah amih te a ciim tih bawkim khuila kun, ciimnah khohnin kah pahong te a doek nen tah amamih kah hmueih te pakhat rhip ham a nawn pah.
Then Paul, taking unto him the men, on the next day, with them, being purified, began entering into the temple to declare the filling up of the days of the purification—until, the offering, had been presented for each one of them.
27 Hnin rhih a thok tom vaengah Asia lamkah Judah rhoek loh Paul te bawkim ah a hmuh uh. Hlangping te boeih a huek uh tih anih te kut a hlah thil uh.
When, however, the seven days were on the point of being concluded, the Jews from Asia, observing him in the temple, began to urge-on all the multitude, and thrust upon them their hands,
28 “Israel hlang rhoek aw n'bom uh lah. Anih he pilnam nen khaw, olkhueng nen khaw, he hmuen nen khaw a kingkalh la om tih khotomrhali ah boeih a thuituen, Te phoeiah Greek rhoek khaw bawkim la hang khuen tih hmuen cim he a poeih bal,” tila pang uh.
crying out—Israelites! be giving help! This, is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, is teaching, all men everywhere; furthermore, even Greeks, hath he brought into the temple, and hath profaned this holy place.
29 Anih neh khopuei ah Ephesa kah Trophimu neh a hmaitang nah om coeng. Te dongah anih te Paul loh bawkim khuila a khuen tila a poek uh.
For they had before seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city along with him, whom they were supposing, Paul, had brought, into the temple.
30 Te dongah khopuei tah a pum la tuen tih pilnam khuikah a capinah om. Paul te a tuuk uh tih bawkim poengvoel la a mawt uh phoeiah thohka te tloep a khaih uh.
And the whole city was set in motion, and there took place a running together of the people, and, laying hold of Paul, they proceeded to drag him outside the temple, and, straightway, the doors were made fast.
31 Anih ngawn hamla a toem uh dongah Jerusalem pum loh a puen te olthang loh caem kah rhalboeipa taengla a pha.
When, also, they were seeking to slay him, there was carried up information, unto the captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion: —
32 Anih long te rhalkap neh rhalboei rhoek tlek a khuen tih amih te a suntlak thil. Rhalboeipa neh rhalkap rhoek te a hmuh uh daengah Paul a boh uh te a toeng uh.
who, instantly taking unto him soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them; and, they, seeing the captain and the soldiers, left off striking Paul.
33 Te vaengah rhalboeipa loh ham paan tih a tuuk tih thirhui panit neh pin ham ol a paek, Te phoeiah anih te metla om tih a saii tholh ba a om khaw a cae pueng.
Then, the captain, drawing near, laid hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains, —and began to enquire, who he might be, and what he had done;
34 Tedae hlangping khuiah khat khat loh a paluep paluep a o uh tih, olpung kacan kongah a thuem a ham la a ming thai pawt dongah Paul te rhalkap im la khuen ham ol a paek.
but, others, were calling out, something else, in the multitude; and so, as he could not get to know the certainty, because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the castle.
35 Tedae kuihlak ah a om vaengah hlangping kah thaehuetnah te a om dongah Paul te rhalkap rhoek loh a koh uh.
And, when he came unto the stairs, so it was that he was borne along by the soldiers, because of the force of the multitude;
36 Pilnam rhaengpuei loh a vai uh tih, “Anih te hang khuen,” tila pang uh.
for the throng of the people was following, crying out—Away with him!
37 Rhalkap im la a khuen tom vaengah Paul loh rhalboeipa te, “A tueng atah nang taengah ol pakhat khaw ka thui dae ni,” a ti nah. Te long khaw, “Greek ol na ming nama?
But, when he was on the point of being taken into the castle, Paul saith unto the captain—Is it allowed me, to say somewhat unto thee? And he said—With Greek, art thou acquainted?
38 Hnukbuet tue vaengkah boe aka koek tih hlangrhet la tongpa thawngli te khosoek la aka mawt, Egypt hoel te nang pawt nim?” a ti nah.
Not, then, art, thou, the Egyptian, who, before these days, stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four-thousand men of the Assassins?
39 Te dongah Paul loh, “Kai tah Kilikia Tarsus kah Judah hlang la ka om tih kho mailai kah pilnam moenih, Te dongah pilnam taengah thui ham khaw kai nan paek ham nang kan dawt,” a ti nah.
And Paul said—I, indeed, am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, —a citizen, of no obscure city; but I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people!
40 Anih long khaw a paek dongah kuihlak dongah aka pai Paul loh pilnam te kut a cavoih thil. Kamkhuemnah neh boeih a om vaengah Hebrew ol la a thui tih,
And, when he had given leave, Paul, standing upon the stairs, waved with his hand unto the people; and, when great silence was secured, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying—
