Guncei 28
1 Kaimouh teh lungmawngcalah hoi a kongteng ka pha awh hnukkhu vah hote tuilum teh Malta tuilum doeh tie ka panue awh.
And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,
2 Tamipathunaw ni kaimouh koe lungpatawnae a kamnue sak awh. Kho a rak teh hroung a pâding dawkvah hmai a patawi awh teh kaimouh abuemlah na kamben sak awh.
and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
3 Pawl ni thingnaw a racum navah a thung hoi tahrun kathout a tâco teh Pawl e a kut dawk a khue pouh.
but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] upon the fire, a viper — out of the heat having come — did fasten on his hand.
4 Tamipathunaw ni Pawl e kut dawk lawng kanghoi e tahrun hah a hmu awh navah, hete tami heh tami ka thet e han doeh, tui dawk hoi a hlout ei nakunghai, phunglawk ni hring sak han ngai hoeh telah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpankhai awh.
And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, 'Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;'
5 Pawl ni hote tahrun hah hmai dawk a kathek, hatei, ama teh bangtelah hai awmhoeh
he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
6 Ahni teh a takbuem a phing han, a kamlei vaiteh a due han, titeh a ring awh. Hatei, bangtelah hai ao hoeh torei teh a lungkâthung awh teh hete tami teh cathut han doeh atipouh awh.
and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
7 Hote hmuen koehoi a hnainae koe vah Publius telah kaw e tuilum khobawi e talai ao. Hote khobawi ni kaimanaw na o sak hloilah hnin thum touh thung rawca totouh na khetyawt awh.
And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge [us];
8 Publius khobawi e a na pa teh a pâding e hoi a vontamci lah a pataw teh sut a yan. Hatnavah Pawl ni a kâen sin teh a ratoum pouh hnukkhu a kut a toung pouh teh a dam sak.
and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
9 Hettelah a hnosak e a hmu awh navah tuilum kho kaawm e kapatawnaw pueng a thokhai awh teh damnae a coe awh.
this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;
10 Ahnimanaw ni barinae a sin awh teh na bari awh, ka ban awh to hai panki e naw moi a pâseng awh.
who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail — they were lading [us] with the things that were necessary.
11 Thapa yung thum touh hnukkhu, tuilum koe kaawm e, kut sak kahrai ca kamphei e mei kâbet e Alexandria long hoi ka cei awh.
And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
12 Sirakus kho ka pha awh teh hote kho dawk hnin thum touh ka roe awh.
and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
13 Haw hoi bout ka cei awh teh Regium kho ka pha awh. Atangtho vah akalae kahlî a tho dawkvah apâhni hnin vah Puteoli kho ka pha awh.
thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli;
14 Hote kho dawk hmaunawnghanaw hoi kâhmo awh teh hnin sari touh o hanelah na coun awh. Hettelah hoi Rom kho ka pha awh.
where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;
15 Kaimae kamthang ka thai e Rom kho e hmaunawnghanaw teh kaimouh hoi kâhmo hanelah, Rom kho hoi Appius hno yonae hoi bangla kathum touh tie totouh a tho awh. Pawl ni ahnimouh a hmu nah, Cathut koe lunghawi lawk a dei teh a thahmei awh.
and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns — whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
16 Rom kho a pha awh toteh Pawl teh ama ka ring hane ransa buet touh hoi aloukcalah o hanelah ransabawi ni kâ a poe.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
17 Hnin thum touh hnukkhu, Pawl ni Judah kahrawikungnaw a kaw teh, a kamkhueng sak teh, hmaunawnghanaw kai ni Judah miphun ahawihoehnae ka sak hoeh. Mintoenaw e singyoe hai ka pahnawt hoeh. Jerusalem kho thongim na pabo awh, Romnaw e kut dawk na hnawng awh.
And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: 'Men, brethren, I — having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers — a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans;
18 Romnaw ni lawk bout na pacei awh hnukkhu, due han kamcu e yonnae a hmu awh hoeh dawkvah hlout sak hanelah a ngai awh.
who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
19 Judahnaw ni a ngai awh hoeh torei teh, Sizar siangpahrang koe nganga ka cet e doeh. Ka taminaw koe yon pen han bangcahai ka tawn hoeh.
and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar — not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
20 Hete kong dawk nangmouh na kâhmo teh kâpan han ka ngai dawk na kaw awh e doeh. Isarel miphunnaw ni ngaihawinae kong dawkvah, hete sumbawtarui hoi kai teh na pâkhi awh atipouh.
for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'
21 Hattoteh ahnimanaw ni, nange kong dawk Judah ram hoi ca ka hmawt awh hoeh. Haw hoi ka tho e hmaunawnghanaw apinihai nang dawk na yon telah ka dei e awmhoeh.
And they said unto him, 'We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee,
22 Hatei, hete bawknae hoi kâkuen lah, kho tangkuem vah na taran awh teh, na pathoe awh tie hah kaimouh ni sut ka panue dawkvah, nang ni bangtelamaw na pouk tie kaimouh ni thai hanelah ka ngai atipouh awh.
and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;'
23 Hathnukkhu Pawl hoi hnin a kâdawk awh teh, ahni a luennae koe hoe kapap lah a tho awh. Pawl ni amom hoi tangmin lah ditouh ahnimouh koe Cathut uknaeram kong a cangkhai, a kampangkhai teh, Mosi e kâlawk hoi Profetnaw ni a thut e naw hno lahoi Jisuh kong hah a dei pouh.
and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,
24 Atangawn teh Pawl ni a dei e hah a yuem awh. Atangawnnaw teh yuem awh hoeh.
and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
25 Hottelah buet touh hoi buet touh lungkânging hoeh hoi a cei awh navah, Pawl ni lawkkam touh a dei e teh, Kathoung Muitha ni Profet Isaiah hno lahoi a dei e hah atang doeh.
And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word — 'Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
26 Cet nateh dei pouh, a thai awh han ei thai panuek awh mahoeh, a hmu awh han ei hmawt panuek a mahoeh atipouh.
saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,
27 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh a hnâpang, a mitdawn awh teh, a lungthin kamlang awh hoeh. Hoehpawiteh, a mit hoi hmawt awh vaiteh, hnâ hoi thai awh vaiteh, a lung hoi a thaipanuek awh vaiteh, kâthung awh vaiteh, kai ni ka dam sak han a ti.
for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.
28 Hatdawkvah Cathut e rungngangnae teh Jentelnaw koe poe lah ao toung dawkvah, ahnimanaw ni teh a ngai awh han tie hah panuek awh telah Pawl ni a dei pouh.
'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'
29 Hete lawk hah Pawl ni a dei navah, Judahnaw teh thouk a kâoun awh teh a ban awh.
and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;
30 Kum hni touh thung Pawl teh im a hlai e dawk a o, ama koe ka tho e naw pueng a luen sak teh,
and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him,
31 banghai tarawknae awm laipalah, Cathut uknaeram kong hah, taranhawi laihoi a pâpho teh, Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e a kongnaw hah a cangkhai.
preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness — unforbidden.
