Cei 20

1 Awipungnaak a sit awh, Paul ing a hubatkhqi ce khy nawh thapeeknaak awi kqawn pehy, Cekcoengawh cekkhqi ce kut tlaih nawh Makedonia qam na cet hy.

And after the tumult was ceased, Paul calling to him the disciples, and exhorting them, took his leave, and set forward to go into Macedonia.

2 Ce a qam ce hqil nawh, thlangkhqi venawh thapeeknaak awi kqawn pek khqi hy, cekcoengawh Greek qam ce pha hy,

And when he had gone over those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece;

3 cawh ce hlak thum awm hy. Siria qam na cet vang ti hlai hy, Judakhqi ing ang hypna a mimah a dawngawh, Makedonia qam benna ceh aham cai hy.

Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria; so he took a resolution to return through Macedonia.

4 Berea khaw awhkaw Pyrrha a capa Sopater, Aristarka ingkaw Thessalonika khaw awhkaw Sekumda, Derbe khaw awhkaw Gaia, Timote, Asia qam awhkaw Tykhika ingkaw Trophima mih khqi ing bawng uhy.

And there accompanied him Sopater the son of Pyrrhus, of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 Vekkhqi ve lamma na haina a na cet unawh kaimih ce Troas khaw awh ni na qeh uhy.

These going before, stayed for us at Troas.

6 Cehlai hen amak Boei Phaihpi Poei a boeih awh Philipi khaw benna kawng lawng ing cet unyng, hqanyn a di awh cekkhqi mi Troas khaw awh hqum qu unyng, ce a khaw awh khqih nyn awm unyng.

But we sailed from Philippi after the days of the Azymes, and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.

7 Khawnghi khqih nyn khui awhkaw lamma cyk a nyn awh phaihpi thek haih aham cet unyng. Paul ing thlangkhqi venawh awi kqawn pek khqi hy, a khawngawi nyn awh cet hlah vang a ti hawh dawngawh thanlung dy awh awi kqawn hy.

And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow: and he continued his speech until midnight.

8 Ka ming cunnaak ip khan awh ce mai khawzah vang uhy.

And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled.

9 Cawh Eutuka ak mingnaak cadawng pynoet taw hlalang awng awh ngawi hy. Paul ing awi khawqyt ak kqawn awhtaw anih ce ip hy. A mik ih a tui huili awh im dawt a pakthumnaak awhkawng dek na tla nawh a qaawk na cung uhy.

And a certain young man named Eutychus, sitting on the window, being oppressed with a deep sleep, (as Paul was long preaching, ) by occasion of his sleep fell from the third loft down, and was taken up dead.

10 Paul ing nuk kqum nawh cadawng pa ce ak khan awh cuksih nawh a kut ing zuut hy. “Koeh ly uh. Hqing hyn hy!” tinak khqi hy.

To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him, and embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him.

11 Cekcoengawh ip khanna kai tlaih nawh phaihpi ce thek unawh ai hy. Myncang khawdai dy awi ak kqawn awh cekkhqi ce cehta hy.

Then going up, and breaking bread and tasting, and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed.

12 Thlangkhqi ing cadawng ce ak dip na im na ceh pyi unawh, a ming ngaih qep hy.

And they brought the youth alive, and were not a little comforted.

13 Kaimih taw lawng ing lamma na Asso Khaw na cet unyng, ce a khaw awhkawng Paul mi kutoet na lawng ing ceh aham cai unyng. Ce a khaw dy awh Paul amah taw khaw ing law aham cai hy.

But we, going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul; for so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land.

14 Asso khaw awh ka ming hqum coengawh, Mitulene khaw na anih ce lawng ing ceh pyi unyng.

And when he had met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.

15 A khawngawi awh ce a khaw awhkawng cet unyng saw Kios tuilak cung pha unyng. Cawh a khawngawi nyn awh Samos tuilak cung ce poeng unyng saw Mileta tuilak cung ce pha unyng.

And sailing thence, the day following we came over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus.

16 Asia qam awh a tym hawnaak ham ama ngaih a dawngawh, Paul ing Ephesa khaw ce cehtaak aham ngaih hy, ang coeng thai awhtaw, Pentekost nyn awh Jerusalem ce ang tawnna pha aham ngaih hy.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

17 Mileta awhkawng Ephesa khaw awhkaw thlangboel a hqamcakhqi ce Paul ing khy sak hy.

And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.

18 Cekkhqi ami pha law awh, cekkhqi venawh: “Asia qam na ka law cyk awhkawng nangmih a venawh ikawmyihna khaw ka saknaak tice sim hawh uhyk ti.

And when they were come to him, and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time,

19 Judakhqi ing him aham ni teng loet hlai uhy, kawdungnaak ingkaw mikphli ing Bawipa bi ka bi ce sim uhyk ti.

Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews;

20 Nangmih nami hawihkhangnaak aham kawmyih awm khypyi aham am tawngaa nyng, im pynoet coeng pynoet nangmih ce ni cawngpyi khqi nyng.

How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,

21 Khawsa venawh zutnaak kawlung ing voei unawh ningnih a Bawipa Jesu Khrih awh cangnaak ami taaknaak aham Judakhqi ingkaw Greekkhqi venawh awm awithang leek ve khypyi nyng.

Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Ciim Myihla a ceeinaak amyihna, tuh Jerusalem na cet kawng nyng, ce ka pha awh kak khan awh ikaw a pha law kaw, tice sim hlan nyng.

And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there:

23 Ka cehnaak khaw a hoei awh Ciim Myihla ing thawng tlaknaak ingkaw kyinaak ka huh hly kawi ce kqawn law loet nyng.

Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.

24 Cehlai, ka hqingnaak ve ikawna awm am sui voel nyng, vawhkaw bibi Khawsam qeennaak awithang leek khypyi, teei qunaak bibi Bawipa Jesu ing ani peek ve kak coeng mak awhtaw ti doeng ni kak poek hy.

But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 Qam awithang ak khypyi nangmih ak khui awhkaw u ingawm kai ve amni hu voel kawm uk ti, tice sim nyng.

And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

26 Cedawngawh, thlang boeih a thi awh ce kai taw ciimcaih nyng, tice tuhngawi awh nangmih a venawh kqawn law nyng.

Wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men;

27 Kawtih Khawsa a ngaihnaak boeih ce nangmih a venawh khypyi aham am yih nyng.

For I have not spared to declare unto you all the counsel of God.

28 ngaihta unawh, Ciim Myihla ing ak khoemkung na ani taak khqi hawh amyihna nami tuukhqi ce ak nep na khoem law uh. A thi ing ak thlaih, Khawsa a thlangboel ak khawl ak cuikung na awm law uh.

Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 Kai ka ceh awh, nangmih anglakawh ngentangkhqi kun law kawm usaw tuukhqi ce am tak khqi poek poek kawm uh tice sim nyng.

I know that, after my departure, ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Na mimah ak khuiawh zani amah benna hubatkhqi dawk aham awitak ak pleng pyikung thlangkhqi awm law kaw.

And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

31 Cedawngawh naming ngaihta uh; kum thum khuiawh khawmthan khawkdai mikphli tui ing nangmih ka ni cawngpyikhqi ce koeh hilh law uh.

Therefore watch, keeping in memory, that for three years I ceased not, with tears to admonish every one of you night and day.

32 Tuh nangmih ve Khawsa kut ingkaw am qeennaak awi ni khoem sak khqi nyng, ce ak awi ing nangmih ce ni taai sak khqi kawmsaw, a ciim sak thlangkhqi boeih a venawh qo ce ni pek khqi bit kaw.

And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up, and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.

33 Kai ing u a tangka awm, sui awm, suibai awm am nai nyng tice sim uhyk ti.

I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold, or apparel, as

34 Vawhkaw ka kut qawi ing kamah a ngoenaak ingkaw ka pyikhqi a ngoe ngaihnaak huh aham bibi hy tice na mimah ing sim uhyk ti.

You yourselves know: for such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.

35 Ik-oeih ka sai a hoei awh, Bawipa Jesu amah qoe ing, ‘Huhnaak anglakawh peeknaak ing phu ta bet hy,’ tinawh ak kqawn ce poek doena, vemyih bi kyi binaak ing ak voethlauhkhqi bawm aham awm hy, tice nim huh khqi hawh nyng,” tina hy.

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.

36 Ve ak awi ak kqawn boeih awh, cekkhqi boeih mi khuk sym unawh cykcah uhy.

And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.

37 Cekkhqi ing kawp uhy, mawk unawh kqang uhy.

And there was much weeping among them all; and falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,

38 Ka haai am hu voel kawm uk ti, a tinaak khqi dawngawh amik kaw se hy. Cawh lawng a awmnaak na ce thak uhy.

Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.
