Caeltueih 28
1 Malta a ti sanglak tah sading la ka hmuh uh.
And being got safe to land, they then knew that the island was called Melita.
2 Te vaengah kholong rhoek loh kaimih taengah lungnah a tueng sak te a mailai moenih. Rhotui ha pai tih khosik vaengah kaimih ham hmai boeih han toih uh tih n'doe uh.
And the barbarians treated us with uncommon humanity; for having kindled a fire, they brought us all to it, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 Paul loh thingpaem pok at te a sisuk tih hmai dongah a pup hatah hmaihu khui lamkah rhulthae ha thoeng tih a kut a kap pah.
Now, as Paul was gathering up a bundle of sticks, and laying them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened upon his hand.
4 A kut lamkah aka bat satlung te kholong rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah khat neh khat te, “Hekah hlang tah hlang aka ngawn la om tih tuili lamloh ha daem ngawn dae dantatnah loh anih he hing sak ham a hlah moenih,” a ti uh.
And as soon as the barbarians saw the fierce animal hanging on his hand, they said one to another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom justice has not permitted to live, though he be saved from the sea.
5 Tedae suva te hmai khuila a khoek tih a tloh lam khaw patang pawh.
But he, shaking off the fierce animal into the fire, suffered no evil.
6 Tedae anih a duih ham neh a duek la rhup a cungku ham ni a lamtawn uh. Amih te puet lamso dae anih taengah a lang la a om pawt te a hmuh uh. Te dongah poehlip uh tih, “Anih he pathen ni,” a ti uh.
However, they expected that he should have swollen, or suddenly have fallen down dead: and having waited a considerable time, and seeing no mischief befall him, changing their minds, they said he was a god.
7 Te vaengah a kaepvai hmuen te tah sanglak tongmang a ming ah Poplio kah khohmuen la om. Anih long te kaimih te n'doe tih hnin thum khuiah hlae hlae m'pah sak.
And in the neighborhood of that place, there was the estate of the chief of the island, whose name was Publius; who, having received us into his house, entertained us in a courteous manner for three days.
8 Te vaengah Poplio kah a napa te satloh neh tamthae nat tih yalh. Te dongah anih te Paul loh a kun thil tih a kut a tloeng thil phoeiah a thangthui pah hatah anih te hoeih.
And so it was, that the father of Publius, being seized with a fever and bloody flux, was confined to his bed: to whom Paul going in, and having prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Te tlam te a om dongah sanglak ah aka om tih tloh aka khueh rhoek long khaw ham paan uh tih hoeih uh.
Now, therefore, when this miracle was wrought, the rest also, who had disorders, in the island, came, and were healed.
10 Kaimih he amih loh hinyahnah neh muep n'hinyah uh van dongah tuili ka kat uh vaengkah ham a ngoengaih uh te han sang uh.
Who also honored us with great honors; and when we departed, put on board such things as were necessary.
11 Hla thum phoeiah sangpho neh ka kat uh tih rhaiphae miknoek Alexandria sanglak ah sikca ka boek uh.
And after three months, we departed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Te vaengah Surakousai la ka thoeng uh tih hnin thum ka om uh.
And being arrived at Syracuse, we continued there three days.
13 Te lamkah loh ka khoe uh tih Rhegion te kam pha uh. Tedae hnin at neh tuithim yilh ha hli tih a bae hnin ah Putioloi la ka pawk uh.
From thence we coasted round, and came over against Rhegium. And after one day the south wind arising, we came, in two days, to Puteoli:
14 Te ah te manuca rhoek ka hmuh tih amih loh hnin rhih om ham n'cael uh. Te phoeiah te Rom la ka cet uh tangloeng.
where we found brethren, and were entreated to stay with them seven days: and so we went for Rome.
15 Te lamloh kaimih kawng te manuca rhoek loh a yaak uh tih kaimih doe hamla Appios kholung neh impoem pathum duela ha pawk uh. Amih a hmuh vaengah Paul loh thahluenah la a loh tihPathen te a uem.
And from thence, the brethren, having heard of our affairs, came out to meet us, as far as Apii Forum, and the Three Taverns: whom, when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 Tedae Rom la ka kun uh vaengah Paul te amah aka tawt rhalkap neh amah ngaihloei ah om ham a paek.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the band: but Paul was permitted to dwell apart, in a house of his own, with a soldier that guarded him.
17 Hnin thum a cum phoeiah Judah rhoek kah a congkhang la aka om rhoek te a hueh tih a tingtun uh vaengah amih te, “Manuca rhoek ka hlang rhoek, kai tah Jerusalem lamloh Roman kut ah thongtla la m'voeih dae pilnam neh pacut rhoek kah khosing te a kingkalh la ka saii moenih.
And it came to pass, that, after three days, Paul called together those that were the chief of the Jews. And when they were come together, he said to them, Brethren, though I have done nothing contrary to the people, nor to our paternal customs, yet I was delivered a prisoner, from Jerusalem, into the hands of the Romans;
18 Amih loh kai he n'cae coeng dae dueknah neh a paelnaehnah te ka khuiah a om pawt dongah hlah ham a ngaih uh.
who, having examined me, were willing to have set me at liberty, as there was no cause of death in me.
19 Te vaengah Judah rhoek kah boekoek dongah Kaisar taeng pha ham ka tanolh. Ka namtu pawt bangla khat khat neh paelnaeh ham vik ha om.
But when the Jews opposed, I was obliged to appeal to Cesar; not as having anything of which to accuse my own nation.
20 He kawng he kungsut tih ni nangmih muei hmuh ham neh uen ham kan cael uh,” a ti nah. Israel kah ngaiuepnah kongah thirhui neh n'ven coeng he.
For this reason, therefore, I entreated, that I might see and speak with you; for on account of the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
21 Te daengah amih loh Paul te, “Nang kawng neh Judea lamkah capat te ka dang uh moenih, nang kawng pakhat khaw a thae la aka thui tih aka puen te manuca khui lamkah pakhat pataeng ha pawk moenih.
And they said to him, We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you; nor have any of the brethren, that have come hither, related, or said, any evil concerning you.
22 Tedae namah kah na poek te yaak ham ka ngaih uh. Buhlaelh kawng he tah khotomrhali ah boekoek la ka ming uh la om,” a ti uh.
But we desire to hear from you, what you think; for as concerning this sect, we know that it everywhere spoken against.
23 Te dongah Paul ham a tue a hmoel uh tih a taengah pahnah hmuen ah muep ha pawk uh. Te vaengah Pathen ram te neh a uen tih a yoek phoeiah Moses olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek dongkah Jesuh kawng te amih ham mincang lamkah hlaemhmah duela a saep pah.
And having appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things that relate to Jesus; both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 Te vaengkah a thui te hlangvang loh a rhooi tih hlangvang loh a hnalval pah.
And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken; and some believed not.
25 Te dongah a hlinghlang la om uh tih khat neh khat moeng uh thae. Paul kah a thui ol pakhat tah, “Mueihla Cim loh na pa rhoek te tonghma Isaiah dong lamkah,
And disagreeing with each other, they broke up the assembly: Paul saying this one word, Surely, well did the Holy Spirit speak, by Isaiah the prophet, to our fathers,
26 'Pilnam taengah he cet lamtah thui pah. Hnavue neh na yaak sui dae na hmuhming loengloeng mahpawh. Hmuh khaw na hmuh uh sui dae na hmat uh loengloeng mahpawh.
when he said, "Go to this people and say, Hearing you will hear, and will not understand; and seeing you will see, and will not perceive:
27 Pilnam he a ko talh tih, a hna nen khaw a hnatun uh tloel. A mik khaw a him uh. Mik neh hmu uh tih hna nen khaw yaak uh vaengah thinko neh a hmuhming uh vetih rhoeh ha bal uh vaengah amih te ka hoeih sak lah ve,’ a ti tih a thui te thuem coeng.
for the heart of this people is become gross, and with their ears they hear heavily; and they have drawn their eyes together, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
28 Te dongah Pathen kah khangnah he namtom rhoek taengla a thak vaengah amih loh a yaak uh ham te nangmih taengah om sak ham ming uh,” a ti nah.
Therefore be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
29 Te vaengah amah kah impham dongah kumhnih puet ngol pai tih,
And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, having great debates among themselves.
30 a taengla aka kun rhoek te boeih a doe.
But Paul continued two whole years in his own hired house, and received all who came to him;
31 Pathen kah ram te a hoe tih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kawng khaw sayalh la phaeng phaeng boeih a thuituen.
announcing the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which relate to the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, and without any restraint.
