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.
When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Te vaengah Phoiniki la aka hlaikan sangpho te ka hmuh uh dongah ka ngol uh tih ka kat uh.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and 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.
When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload 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.
Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6 Te phoeiah sangpho khuila ka yoeng uh tih amih khaw a im la bal uh.
After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.

On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 Anih taengah aka tonghma tah canu oila pali om.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Khohnin a sen a om phoeiah atah Judah tonghma pakhat, a ming ah Agabus te ha suntla,
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
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.
Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Judeans at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the 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.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to 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 Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua.”
14 Te dongah anih te ngaiyak voel kolla ka paa uh tih Boeipa kah kongaih bangla om ka ti uh.
When he would not 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.
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to 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.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 Te dongah Jerusalem la ka pawk uh vaengah kaimih he manuca rhoek loh hlaehlae n'doe uh.
When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 A vuen ah Paul tah kaimih neh James taengah ka kun uh tih a ham rhoek khaw boeih ha pawk uh.
The day following, Paul went in with us to Jacob; 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.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked amongst the Gentiles 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.
They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are amongst the Judeans of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Torah.
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.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are amongst the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
22 Namah na pawk he rhep a yaak uh vaengah metlam nim a om ve.
What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23 Te dongah ka thui uh bangla nang loh saii laeh. Amamih ah paipi aka khueh hlang pali loh kaimih taengah om,
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
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.
Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Torah.
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 the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
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 took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every 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 the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
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, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Torah, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled 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 seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him 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.
All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31 Anih ngawn hamla a toem uh dongah Jerusalem pum loh a puen te olthang loh caem kah rhalboeipa taengla a pha.
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
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.
Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating 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 commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and enquired who he was 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.
Some shouted one thing and some another, amongst the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Tedae kuihlak ah a om vaengah hlangping kah thaehuetnah te a om dongah Paul te rhalkap rhoek loh a koh uh.
When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Pilnam rhaengpuei loh a vai uh tih, “Anih te hang khuen,” tila pang uh.
for the multitude of the people followed after, 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?
As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
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.
Aren’t you then 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.
But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to 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,
When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
