Acts 28
1 And after being saved, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
Tui pei cun akdima kami pek käna, khaw kawng cun Malitah ngming nakia kami ksing law.
2 And the foreigners presented uncommon kindness to us, for, having kindled a fire, they received us all because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
Khaw a lü, khaw sik se, acuna khyang jah mhlänakie. Khaw a lü khaw sik se, khawmahe naw mei tik u lü kami van jah na dokie.
3 And Paul having gathered a quantity of sticks, and having placed them on the fire, a viper having come out from the heat, it fastened on his hand.
Pawluh naw thing pawk mkhäm lü, mei am a tih üng ngling law se, kphyu lut lawki naw, a kut cui lü a ven law.
4 And when the foreigners saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to each other, Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, though saved from the sea, Justice did not allow to live.
Khyange naw, kphyu cun hmu u lü, “Hina khyang hin, khyang hnimkia kya kung ve, tui üng lät sepi, Phu sui beki naw a xüng vai am ti ve” ami ti.
5 Indeed therefore having shaken off the creature into the fire, he experienced nothing harmful.
Acunsepi, Pawluh ia am thawn lü kphyu cun mei üng a khyak.
6 But they expected he was going to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead, but when they were long expecting, and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, thinking differently, they declared him to be a god.
Amimi naw cun, a pumsa hngawh ta ngphyüng law se, thi lü kyu law khaia ami ngai; acunüng pi khawvei ami k’ä ih käna ia pi am veki tia ami ksing üng, ami mlung nglat se, “mhnama kya ve” ami ti law.
7 Now among the things around that place were fields of the chief of the island, named Publius, who, having received us kindly, lodged us three days.
Acuna hnün peia, acuna lai ka nakia ngvai säih, Puhbalih ngming naki naw ja je na lü, mhnüp kthum a ja khinnak.
8 And it came about for the father of Publius to be laid down, gripped by fever and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered in, and having prayed, having laid his hands on him, healed him.
Acua Puhbaliha pa mhnatei lü a khawn pi msawi se a ihnaka veki. Pawluh a veia lut lü, a khana a kut mtaihki naw, ktaiyü pe se mya be.
9 Therefore when this happened, the others also who had infirmities on the island came and were healed,
Acukba a thawn law ja, acuna kyawn üngka khyange am myaki law u se a jah mdaw be.
10 who also honored us with many honorariums. And while putting out to sea, they furnished the things for our necessities.
Acunee naw, aktäa letsawng ami jah pet; mlawnga khana kami hlükaw naküt cun ami jah pet.
11 And after three months we set out in a ship that wintered at the island, an Alexandrian with The Twin Brothers emblem.
Khya kthum Aleksandria mlüh üngkhyüh mlawng “Mhnam Ngphi” ngming naki am kami ceh käna, khawsik khyaa kyase Malta kami awmki.
12 And after being brought down to Syracuse, we remained there three days,
Sarakuh mlüha pha u lü, acua mhnüp kthum kami awmki.
13 from where having made a circuit, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, wind from the south having developed, we came a second day to Puteoli,
Acuna mlüh üngka naw cit u lü Rekon mlüh kami phaki. Angawi üng, cum khawkhi law se, mhnüp nghngihnak üng Pawtajolih mlüh kami phaki.
14 where, having found brothers, we were invited to stay with them seven days. And so we went toward Rome.
Acua jumeikie jah hmu u lü, ami veia mhnüp khyüh kami ve khaw ami jah nghuinak. Acukba cu Romah mlüh da kami lawki.
15 And from there the brothers, who heard these things about us, came for a meeting with us as far as Appius Forum and The Three Taverns, whom, when Paul saw, having expressed thanks to God, he took courage.
Romaha veki jumeikie naw kami mawng ksing u se, acun üngka naw, Apijah jawihtuknaka hnüna khyüh thukia law u lü, khina kainak hnün kthuma venak cäpa jah na do lawki he. Pawluh naw jah hmu se Pamhnam je na lü a ktha ve lawki.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commandant, but Paul was allowed to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Romaha kami pha üng, Pawluh cun yekap mat naw k'äih lü amät ami vesak.
17 And it came to pass after three days, for Paul to call together those who were the principle men of the Jews. And when they came together, he said to them, Men, brothers, I, having done nothing against the people, or the paternal customs, I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Amhnüp kthum käna Pawluh naw, ngnama Judah ngvaie cun jah khü lü ngkhyumkie. Ami ngkhäm law üng Pawluh naw ami veia, “Ka püi Isarele aw, mi khyange ja mi pupaea thum am ka jah lümkanki, cunsepi, thawng üng na khyum u lü Jerusalem üngka naw Romahe kut üng ami na mhjum ni.
18 who, after examining me, wanted to release me, because there was not one cause of death in me.
Romah khyange naw na kthäh u lü, thihnak vai hlawka ka bilawh i am hmu u se, ami na hlät be vai ami täng kyaw.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation.
Cunsepi, Judah khyange naw am täng u lü, Empero Sangpuxanga veia ka ngdang khaia amthuia ami na pawh. Ka khyange cun am jah mkatei veng.
20 Because of this reason therefore I summoned you to see and to speak with me, for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
Acunakyase, nangmi ning ja hmu lü, nami veia ngthueipüi vaia ka ning jah khü ni. Isarele naw ami äpei khyanga phäh kei hin mthiyüi am ami khih ni” a ti.
21 And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judea about thee, nor did any of the brothers who came report or speak anything bad about thee.
Amimi naw a veia, “Na mawngma Judah hne üngka naw ca am ami yahki, mi khyang u pi hia law lü na khana am dawki mawng cun pi am pyen law u.
22 But we think it worthy to hear from thee what thou think. For indeed about this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.
Acunsepi, na ngpüinak mawng cun hnün naküta khyange naw ksekhanakie kyase na cungaih cun keimi naw pi kami ngai hlükie ni” ami ti.
23 And having appointed a day for him, more came to him into his lodging, to whom he expounded, solemnly testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.
Acunüng khaw mhnüp tamkie. Acuna mhnüp a pha law üng Pawluh venak ima khyang khawha lawki he. Angawi lam üngkhyü tünei lü mü vei cäpa Pamhnama khyawng pe cun Mosia Thum ja sahmaea yuknak üngka Jesuha mawng khe lü khyange cun a jah ksingsak vaia jah mthehki.
24 And some were convinced by the things that were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Avang naw a ngthu pyen jum u se, avange naw am jum u.
25 And being discord among each other, they departed after Paul spoke one thing, saying, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Acunüng, käh ngkhawt law u se, Pawluh naw ngthu mat a pyen käna cit bekie. A ngthu pyen cun hina kyaki; “Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw sahma Hesajah üngkhyüh nami pupae veia a pyen hin ihlawka cangki ni,
26 saying, Go thou to this people, and say, Hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.
‘Hina khyangea veia cit lü va pyena, akcanga nami ngai khai, acunsepi a suilam am ksing u. Akcanga bükteng u lü pi, am hmuh thei u,
27 For this people's heart was made fat, and they hear heavily with the ears. And they shut their eyes, lest they may perceive with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should turn, and I would heal them.
‘isetiakyaküng ami mlung nghmüp lü ami nghnga pi kdenkie lü ami mik pi kbawmkie. Acukba käh thawn lü ami mik naw hmu lü ami nghnga naw pi ngjak khai kyaw. Ami mlung pi ksing u lü kei da nglat law lü ka jah myasak khai ti lü Pamhnam naw a ti.”
28 Be it known to you therefore, that the salvation of God was sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.
Acunakyase, Pamhnama küikyannaka ngthu cun Khyangmjükceea veia jah tha lü ami naw cungai khaie” akpäihnak a ti.
29 And when he said these things, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves.
Acuna ngthu a pyen päng ja, Judahe amimät naw ngcuh u lü cit bekie.
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired lodging. And he received all who came in to him,
Pawluh cun kum nghngih acua amät im ngvat lü, a veia lawki he naküt cun akdawa jah dokhamki.
31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
Pamhnama khyawngpe ja Bawia Jesuh Khritawa mawng cun lingnak am sangkhapki.
