And after the uproar had ceased, Paul called to him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

2 Tua ngamsung mun tatuam te ah pai a, thu tam mama taw hanthawn in tha a piak zawkciang, Greece ngam theng hi,

And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,

And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

4 Asia ngamsung a pai ciang in Berea khua mi Sopater; Thessalonica khua mi Aristarchus le Secundus; Derbe khua mi Gaius le Timothy, Asia ngam pan Tychicus le Trophimus te in tonpui hi.

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

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

7 Nipi kalkhat sung ni masabel ni in, nungzui te anluum bal tu in a ki kaikhop uh ciang, Paul in amate tung ah Pathian thuhil a, a zingciang pai tu hi zo ka hi uhkom in; zankim dong thuhil suak hi.

And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached to them, ready to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.

8 Amate kikhopna mun inn tung doi ah mei-inn tam mama om hi.

And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.

And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, having fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

10 Taciang Paul tuaksuk in, tangval pa tung ah bok hi, taciang koai a, Paul in buai heak vun, banghangziam cile a sung ah a nuntakna om hi, ci hi.

And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

11 Taciang Paul inn tung a kato kik ciang in, anluum balnen uh a, ne khawm uh hi, khuavak dong ngei mama thu a sonkhop zawkciang in Paul pai hi.

When he had come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.

12 Amate in tangval pa a nungta in hong paipui uh hu in, amate a thin uh nuam mama hi.

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

13 Paul muak kawm tu in tembaw taw Assos ah ka pai uh hi: banghangziam cile ama in peang taw pai tu ngaisun ahikom, hong sonkholsa a hihi.

And we went before to a ship, and sailed to Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so he had appointed, intending himself to go on foot.

14 Assos ah Paul taw ka ki situa uh a, ama ka muak uh hi, taciang Mitylene ka theng uh hi.

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

15 Tua mun pan in tembaw taw ka pai khawm leleau uh a, a zingciang in Chios ngalkhat ka theng uh hi; taciang a zingciang in Samos ka theng uh a, Trogyllium ah ka ngiak uh hi; taciang a zingciang in Miletus ka theng uh hi.

And we sailed from there, and came the next day opposite Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.

For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

17 Taciang Miletus pan in Ephesus ah mi paisak in, pawlpi upa te samsak hi.

And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.

18 Amate a thet ciang in, Paul in amate tung ah, Asia ngamsung ka thet masabel pan in, note kung ka om sung theampo bangbang in ka om, ci sia na heak uh a hihi,

And when they had come to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,

19 Thinsung kiniamkhiak le thitui tampi taw Topa na ka seam hi, taciang Judah mite in hong pang tawntung uh ahikom ka tung ah mawsiatna te hong theng hi:

Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and trials, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

20 Taciang note tung ah phattuamna khat zong khet nei ngawl khi hi, ahihang mihonpi te mai ah ahizong, inn khat zawk inn khat ah ahizong, hong lak in hong hil khi hi,

And how I kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have shown you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,

21 Judah mite le Greek mite tung ah zong, Pathian tung ah mawmaina le i Topa Jesus Christ tung ah upna thu tetti ka pang hi.

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Tu in, Jerusalem ah pai tu in Thaa in hong hen a, ka tung ah bang thu piang tu, ci zong ka he bua hi:

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

23 Ahizong khuapi tatuam ah hencip le haksatna te in hong ngak hi, ci Tha Thiangtho in tettipang hi.

Except that the Holy Spirit testifieth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

24 Ahihang Topa Jesus kung pan ka san Pathian thuthiamna lungdamna thupha tetti pan nasep sia, lungdamna taw ka zaw thei natu in, hi thu te in hong lingsak zo ngawl a, ka nuntakna zong pamai ka sa bua hi.

But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

25 Taciang tu in, en vun, Pathian kumpingam thuhil in ka pai na mun theampo ah note in ka maitang nong mu kik nawn ba tu uh hi, ci ka he hi.

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

26 Tua ahikom mi theampo i thisan pan in ka suakta hi, ci in tu ni note tung ah tetti kong pang hi.

Therefore I testify to you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

27 Banghangziam cile Pathian i tupna a vekpi in note tung ah ka pualak tu khet ka nei bua hi.

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

28 Tua ahikom Ama thisan taw a lei sa, Pathian pawlpi an vak tu le keamcing tu in Tha Thiangtho in a koi sa note atu in ahizong, tuu hon theampo atu in ahizong, kidawm tavun.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 Banghangziam cile ka pai zawkciang in ngia ngilo te note sung ah hong tum tu a, tuu hon te khoaikhe ngawl tu hi.

For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

30 Noma sung mama pan in pawlkhat te pusuak tu uh a, nungzui te kaizawn tu in a man ngawl thu te son tu uh hi.

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

31 Tua ahikom en vun, kum thum sung tawntung sun le zan tawlnga ngawl in thitui taw mi theampo kidop natu thu ka hil hi, ci phawk tawntung tavun.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

32 Tu in, suapui te awng, Pathian le Ama thuthiamna kammal kong ap hi, Ama in hong khangtosak zo tu a, mithiangtho te theampo sung ah ngamh hong pia tu hi.

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

33 Kuama i puansil nikten, le kham le ngun te ka eang bua hi.

I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

34 Hi ka khut taw keima le ka ompuite kisapna atu in na ka seam hi, ci sia note in na he uh hi.

Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to them that were with me.

35 Tabang in note in zong keima bang naseam a, thaneam te na hu uh kul hi, ci le, Nga na sang in piak na ah thupha tamzaw hi, ci Topa Jesus i son kammal te na phaw tawntung natu uh in hi thu te theampo a vekpi in kong laksiat zo hi, ci hi.

I have shown you all things, that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 Paul in a thuson man ciang in khupdin a, amate theampo taw thungen khawm uh hi.

And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.

37 Taciang amate theampo nasiatak in kap uh a, Paul ngawngkoai in nam uh hi,

And they all wept bitterly, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,

38 Kuama in a maitang mu nawn ngawl tu, ci a kammal hang in khuangai tuansap uh hi. Taciang amate in tembaw kung dong tha uh hi.

Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
