1 Paul sia Derbe le Lystra theng uh hi: taciang, en vun, nungzui khat om a, a min sia Timothy kici hi, a nu sia Judah mi hi a, thu um mi a hihi; ahihang a pa sia Greek mi a hihi:

Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold there was a certain disciple there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father.

2 Lystra le Iconium a om suapui te in Timothy sia phatson mama uh hi.

Who was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium:

3 Timothy sia Paul in tonpui nuam ahikom in a vunteap tansak hi, banghangziam cile tua kiim a om Judah mite theampo in a pa sia Greek mi hi, ci he uh hi.

wherefore Paul was desirous that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 Jerusalem ah sawltak te le upa te in zui tu in a khensat na thu sia, amate pai na khua tatuam ah ap uh hi.

And as they passed through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been made by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.

5 Tua ahikom pawlpi te upna sung ah kho uh a, nisim in khang uh hi.

And so the churches were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6 Tu in amate Phrygia le Galatia ngamsung ah pai uh a a kantan zawk uh ciang in, Tha Thiangtho in Asia ngam ah Pathian thuhil tu in hong khak hi,

And when they had passed through Phrygia and Galatia, being forbidden by the holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia, they came to Mysia, and endeavoured to go to Bithynia:

7 Mysia ngam a thet zawk uh ciang in, Bithynia ngamsung ah paisawm uh hi: ahihang Thaa in a pai tu uh oai ngawl hi.

but the Spirit suffered them not.

8 Taciang amate Mysia ngam kantan uh a, Troas theng uh hi.

So they passed by Mysia, and came down to Troas.

9 Tua zan in Paul in mangmu hi; Macedonia mi khat ding a, Macedonia ah hongpai tan a, hong hu tan, ci in ngen hi.

And Paul saw a vision in the night, There stood a certain man of Macedonia, intreating him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

10 Paul in mang a mu zawkpo ciang in, Macedonia ah lungdamna thupha tangko tu in Topa in hong sam hi, ci thiangtak in tel ka hi uhkom, pai tu in ka hanciam uh hi.

And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to depart into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord called us to preach the gospel to them.

11 Tua ahikom Troas pan in ngunkuang taw ka pai uh a, Samotracia ah a tangtan in ka pai uh hi, taciang a zingciang in Neapolis ka theng uh hi;

Therefore we set sail from Troas, and came in a direct course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;

12 Tua mun pan in Macedonia ngamkhen sung pan khuapi lianbel Philippi ka theng uh hi, Philippi khua sia Rome te in ngamkeak in ukna ngam a hihi: tua khuapi sung ah tawlkhat sung ka om uh hi.

and from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a Roman colony. And we staid some time in this city.

13 Sabbath ni in ngunhui khuapi ah ka pai uh hi, thunget na mun ah ka to uh a, hongpai numei te ka paupui uh hi.

And on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to a river-side, where there used to be prayer: and we sat down and preached to the women that resorted thither.

14 Taciang Lydia a kici Thyatira khua mi, puan sandup a zuak numei khat om a, ama sia Pathian bia khat a hihi: ama in Paul i thuhilna te ngai tu in Topa in a thinsung honsak hi.

And a certain woman named Lydia, a purple-seller of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that were spoken by Paul.

15 Ama le a innkuanpui te tui a ki phum zawk uh ciang in, Topa tung ah muantak hi, ci in nong mu uh ahile, ka inn ah hongpai tavun a, taam tavun, ci in hong sam a, hong thum hi.

And when she was baptized and her family, she requested us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and lodge there. And she constrained us.

16 Thungen tu ka pai uh ciang in, a sung ah maisang thu sonkhol theina thaa nei a, a to te atu in dangka tampi a ngasak naseam numei no in hong muak hi:

Now as we were going to the place of prayer, there met us a young woman that had a spirit of divination, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

17 Ama in Paul le kote nung pan in hongzui a, hi mite sia ngupna lampi hong lak tu a sangbel Pathian i sal te a hi uh hi, ci in au hi.

She following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who shew us the way of salvation.

18 Taciang ama in hibang in ni tampi sung vawt hi. Ahihang Paul sia a thin-uk in le-et a, tua thaa kung ah, Jesus Christ min taw hi numei sung pan pusuak tu in thu kong pia hi, ci hi. Tuahun laitak lian in pusuak hi.

And this she did for many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.

19 A to te in dangka tampi nga natu lametna om nawn ngawl hi, ci a mu uh ciang in Paul le Silas te man uh a, thukhen zum ulian te kung ah kai uh hi.

And he came out that instant. And when her masters saw, that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the court to the magistrates.

20 Taciang ulian te kung ah paipui a, hi Judah mite in i khuapi nasiatak in buaisak hi,

And when they brought them to the governors, they said, These men cause great disturbance in our city, for they are Jews, and teach customs,

21 Ko Rome mite in ka san thei ngawl uh le ka zui ngawl uh ngeina te hil hi, ci uh hi.

which it is not lawful for us to receive, nor practise, who are Romans.

22 Taciang mihonpi te hong ding tek in: ulian te in zong a puan uh eaukeaksak uh a, Paul le Silas te vel tu in thupia uh hi.

And the populace rose up together against them: and the officers stripped off their clothes, and ordered them to be scourged.

23 Amate in nasiatak in a sat zawk uh ciang in, thonginn sung ah khia uh a, thong cing pa in phatak a cin natu in vaitha hi:

And when they had given them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely.

24 Thu a vaithak thonginn cingpa in, thonginn doi sung ah khumsuk a, a peang te peangkol bul in koi hi.

Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 Zan laitak in Paul le Silas sia thungen uh a, Pathian pok na lasa khawm uh hi: taciang thongtak te in za uh hi.

Now in the middle of the night Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, and the prisoners heard them.

26 Thakhatthu in zin nasiatak hong ling a, thong innbul te ki lok hi: tasia pociang in kongkha te a vekpi in ki hong siat a, a ki hen na uh theampo zong ki sut siat hi.

And on a sudden there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bonds were loosed.

27 Thongcingpa hong khanglo a, kongkha te a ki hong a mu ciang in, thongtak te taisiat zo sa a, a namsau dok in, ama le ama ki tha sawm hi.

The jailor waking, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword and was going to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners were fled.

28 Ahihang Paul ngingtak in au a, nangma le nangma ki vawtsia heak in: banghangziam cile ka vekpi in hi mun ah ka om nginge uh hi, ci hi.

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Tua zawkciang in thongcingpa in mei ngen a, hong bingbung hi, taciang ling vadil kawm in hongpai a, Paul le Silas te mai ah bok hi,

Then he called for lights, and sprang in, and being in a tremor fell down before Paul and Silas:

30 Taciang amate pusua a, ka topa te awng, ngupna nga natu in bang ka vawt tu ziam? ci hi.

and bringing them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 Amate in, Topa Jesus Christ um in a, nangma le na innkuanpui te ngupna na nga tu uh hi, ci uh hi.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thine house.

32 Taciang Paul le Silas te in amate a innsung a om te theampo tung ah Topa thuhil uh hi.

And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all in his family.

33 Tua zan in thongcingpa in amate pusua a, a liamma uh te silsak hi; taciang ama le a innkuanpui theampo tui ki phum pai uh hi.

And he took them at that very time of the night, and bathed their stripes: and was baptized, he and all his immediately after.

34 Saul le Silas sia ama inn ah ciapui a, amate mai ah anlui hi, taciang ama le a innkuanpui theampo in Pathian um uh a, lungdam mama uh hi.

And he brought them into his house, and spread a table for them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his household.

35 A zingciang in, ulian te in palik mang te sawl a, tua mihing te pusua vun, ci hi.

And when it was the day the governors sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

36 Taciang thongcingpa in Paul kung ah, ulian te in note sam tu in mi sawl hi; tua ahikom tu in pusuak vun a, thinnuamtak in pai vun, ci hi.

And the jailor told these words to Paul, saying, the governors have sent orders, that you should be discharged; now therefore depart, and go in peace.

37 Ahihang Paul in amate tung ah, kote sia Rome ngammi ka hi uh hi, mawsiatna om ngawlpi kilangtak in hong sat a, thong hong taksak hi; tu in kuama heak ngawl in hong hawlkhia nuam ziam? hi thei ngawl hi; ahihang amate hongpai ta hen a hong suatak tahen, ci hi.

But Paul said unto them, They have publicly beaten us, uncondemned, and Romans, and cast us into prison, and do they now turn us out privately? No verily, let them come themselves and fetch us out.

38 Taciang palik mang te in hi thu a ulian te kung ah son uh hi: taciang amate sia Rome ngam mi hi, ci a zak uh ciang in, ulian te patau mama hi.

And the serjeants reported these words to the governors: and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.

39 Taciang amate hongpai uh a, Paul te thum uh hi, taciang suatak uh a, tua khuapi sung pan pusuak tu in sawl uh hi.

And they came and intreated them, and when they had brought them out, they desired them to leave the city.

40 Amate sia thong sung pan pusuak uh ah, Lydia te innsung ah tum uh hi: taciang suapui te a mu uh ciang in heneam uh a, paikik uh hi.

And when they were come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia: and seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
