Cei 28
1 Ceng ami pha boeih awhtaw, cawhkaw tuilak cung ce Malta tuilak cung ti uhy, tice sim unyng.
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 Ce a tuilak awh ak awmkhqi boeih ing kaimih ce ni toek ni teng khqi uhy. Kaimih aham mai tih law unawh aawm unyng, khaw a nawh khaw ding hy.
And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 Paul ing thikkohkhqi ce boem nawh mai awh a tih awh ak chy ak ngan khqui ce maih hlawk ang zaak awh ce cawn law hy, Paul ce a kut awh cuk nawh bat hy.
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 Ce a tuilak cung awh ak awmkhqi ing Paul a kut awhkaw khqui ak bat ce ami huh awh, “Ve ak thlang ve thlang ak him vani hy voei, tui awhkawng taw loet hawh hlai hy, amak thym phu suinaak ing a hqing am ngaih nawh ni ve,” ti uhy.
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffers not to live.
5 Cehlai Paul ing khqui ce mai awh phum nawh a tlawh am za qoe hy.
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Thlangkhqi ingtaw a kut ce hling kaw, tlu law kawmsaw thik tlang kaw tinawh poek uhy, cehlai ami qeh khing awh awm Paul taw ikawmyihna awm am awm hy, cawhtaw amik kaw ce thaw unawh anih ve khawsa va ni hy voei tinawh poek uhy.
However, they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 Ce a tuilak cung awh boei na ak awm Publiu a dum ce ce a venawh awm hy. Anih ing kaimih ce nik khy khqi nawh a im awh khaw thum voei ani awm sak khqi awh ak leek cana ni toek ni teng khqi hy.
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 A pa ce tlo nawh zaih hy, a sa tlo nawh tumthe awm tlo hy. Paul ing anih a venna cet hy, cykcahnaak taak pe nawh ak khan awh a kut a tloeng peek awh qoei hy.
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Cawhkaw ik-oeih ce ami huh awh, ce tuilak cung awh amik awm thlak chang boeih awm law unawh qoeinaak hu uhy.
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10 A mingmih ing kaimih ce nim kyihcah khqi uhy, cet hlah u sih ka mi ti awh kaimih a ngoengaihnaakkhqi boeih ce toen law uhy.
Who also honored us with many honors; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 Hla thum a di coeng awhtaw, ang ming phir, Alexandria khaw awhkaw lawng, chikca awhkawng tuilak cungawh ak awm hawh, ce a lawng ing cet unyng.
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Sirakuse khaw na thoeng unyng saw, cawh ce khaw thum voei awm unyng.
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
13 Ce a khaw awhkawng cet tlaih bai unyng saw Rhegium khaw pha bai unyng. A khawngawi nyn awh kham benna kaw khaw ce hli law nawh cawhkaw a khawngawi nyn bai awh Puteoli khaw ce pha unyng.
And from there we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
14 Ce a khaw awh koeinaakhqi thlang vang ce awm uhy, a mingmih ing khaw khqih nyn awm pyi aham kaimih ce nik khy khqi uhy. Cawhkawng ce Rom khaw na cet unyng.
Where we found brothers, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
15 Cawhkaw amik awm koeinaakhqi ing kaimih law hy ti aming zaak cawh, Appia hun awhkaw ik-oeih zawihnaak ingkaw savang im pakthum a awmnaak hun dyna kaimih ce ni do khqi uhy. Cawhkaw thlangkhqi ce Paul ing a huh awh Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn nawh ang ngaih qep hy.
And from there, when the brothers heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 Rom khaw ka mi pha awh, Paul taw qalkap pynoet ing doen nawh amah poek awh awm thainaak ce pe uhy.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
17 Khaw thum voei a awm coengawh Paul ing Juda thlang sawikungkhqi ce khy hy. Cekkhqi boeih ce ami law awh, Paul ing cekkhqi venawh: “Koeinaakhqi, nik thlangkhqi ing ami nu pa a phung ak kalh na ikaw awm am sai hlai nyng, Jerusalem khaw awh nim tu unawh Romkhqi kut awh ni pe uhy.
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said to them, Men and brothers, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Cekkhqi ing awi a mini deng awh thihnaak khoek na thawlhnaak ikaw am ka sai dawngawh hlah aham ni ngaih uhy.
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Cehlai Judakhqi ing am ngaih unawh, Kaisara a ven pha aham kai ing thoeh nyng. Kak thlangkhqi ak khan awh thawlh puk aham amni.
But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not that I had something to accuse my nation of.
20 Vawh nangmih mi hu qu unawh awi kqawn aham nik khy khqi nyng. Israelkhqi ang ngaih-unaak awh ni kai ve thiqui ing khih na ka awm,” tina hy.
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
21 Cekkhqi ing, Nang akawng awh ce Judah nakawng capat am hu unyng, cekcoengawh ce nakawng amik law koeinaa u ingawm nang a seetnaak ikaw ap kqawn hlan uhy.
And they said to him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the brothers that came showed or spoke any harm of you.
22 Cehlai nang a huhnaak ikawmyihna a awmnaak tice zaak aham ngaih unyng, a hun hoei awhkaw thlangkhqi ingtaw vawhkaw thlangboel ak thai na ak awm ve ak che ngai na kqawn uhy,” tina uhy.
But we desire to hear of you what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23 Khaw hypoet awh Paul ing hqum aham awi amik kqawn awh, Paul a awmnaak im awh thlang khawzah ce law uhy. Mymcang awhkawng khawmy dy na cekkhqi venawh Khawsa qam awithang leek ce ak kqawn peek awh Mosi a anaa awi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ak cauk awhkawng Jesu akawng ce aming zaksimnaak aham kqawn pek khqi hy.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 Ak awihkqawn awhkawng thlang a vang ingtaw am cang na uhy.
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 A mimah ce oelh qu unawh, a hukhit na Paul ing vawhkaw awi ve ak kqawn awhtaw voei uhy: “Ciim Myihla ing nami pakdamkhqi venawh Isaiah hawnaak ing awitak ce vemyihna anak kqawn hy:
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Ghost by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
26 Ve thlangkhqi venawh cet nawhtaw, Za hlai voei uk ti am zasim kawm uk ti; hu hlai voei uk ti, am hat kawm uk ti.
Saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and not perceive:
27 ikawtih vekkhqi ak kaw ve qep aih nawh; aming hakhqi ingawm am za thai uhy, ami mik ce him uhy. Cemyih am mantaw hu kawm usaw, za kawm uh, kawlung ing zasim kawm usaw hlat kawm uh, cawh kai ing qoei sak khqi hy kawng,’ tihy.
For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; 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 Cedawngawh Gentelkhqi venawh Khawsa a hulnaak ce pha hawh nawh, a mingmih ing ngai kawm uh, tice nami sim aham ngaih nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
29 Ve ak awi ak kqawn awh, Judakhqi ce a mimah ingkaw a mimah aming oelh qu doena cet uhy.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 Khaw kum hih khui cawh ce Paul ing im vat nawh awm hy. A venna ak law thlangkhqi boeih ce ak nep cana do hy.
And Paul dwelled two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in to him,
31 Qaal leeknaak ing ak kangkung a awm kaana Khawsa qam a kawng ce ak kqawn awh Jesu Khrih akawng ce cawngpyi hy.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
