< Acts 16 >
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, whose mother was one of the Jews of the faith, but his father was a Greek;
Paul-na Derbe amadi Lystra-da chatlammi, mapham aduda Timothy kouba tung-inba ama leirammi. Mahakki mamadi thajabi Jihudi oirammi aduga mahakki mapana Greek-ni.
2 Of whom the brothers at Lystra and Iconium had a high opinion.
Lystra amadi Iconium-da leiba thajabasingna mahakki maramda phajana hainarammi.
3 Paul had a desire for him to go with him, and he gave him circumcision because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all had knowledge that his father was a Greek.
Paul-na Timothy-bu puduna chatpa pamlammi maram asina mahakpu un kaklammi maramdi maphamsing aduda leiba Jihudi pumnamakna mahakki mapa Greek-ni haiba khanglammi.
4 And on their way through the towns, they gave them the rules which had been made by the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem, so that they might keep them.
Adudagi makhoina sahar amadagi sahar amada chattuna Jerusalem-da Pakhonchatpasing amadi ahal lamansingna lepkhiba warepsing adu thajabasingda hairammi amadi madu ngaknaba makhoida hairammi.
5 So the churches were made strong in the faith and were increased in number every day.
Maram aduna singlupsingna thajabada kankhatlammi amasung numit khudinggi masing hen-gatlammi.
6 And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;
Asia-gi lamda Pao sandokpa Thawai Asengbana thingbagi maramna makhoina Phrygia amadi Galatia-gi lam phaoduna chatlammi.
7 And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;
Mysia-gi ngamkhei yourabada makhoina Bithynia-gi lamda changnaba hotnarammi adubu Jisugi Thawaina makhoibu maduda changba yaramde.
8 And going past Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Maram aduna makhoina Mysia phaoraga Troas-ta chatlammi.
9 And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.
Aduga ahing aduda Macedonia-gi nupa amana leptuna mangonda “Macedonia-da lakpiduna eikhoibu pangbiyu” haina haijaba amagi uhanbiba ama Paul-na urammi.
10 And when he had seen the vision, straight away we made the decision to go into Macedonia, for it seemed certain to us that God had sent us to give the good news to them.
Uhanbiba adu Paul-na ubaga, Macedonia-da khongsannaba eikhoi sem sarammi maramdi mapham adugi misingda Aphaba Pao sandoknaba Tengban Mapuna eikhoibu koubire haina eikhoina leplammi.
11 So, from Troas we went straight by ship to Samothrace and the day after to Neapolis;
Eikhoina hi tongduna Troas-tagi Samothrace-ta chatlammi aduga mathanggi numitta Neapolis-ta chatlammi.
12 And from there to Philippi, which is the most important town of Macedonia and a Roman colony: and we were there for some days.
Aduga mapham adudagi eikhoina Macedonia-gi athoiba sahar ama oiriba amasung Rome-na loi chanba Philippi saharda chatlammi. Mapham aduda eikhoi numit kayanimuk leirammi.
13 And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.
Potthaba numitta eikhoina sahar adugi thongjao mapanda thoklaga turel torban amada chatlammi, mapham aduda Jihudisingna pullaga haijanaba mapham ama leiramgani haina eikhoina khallammi. Aduga eikhoina phamtharabada tillamba nupising aduda wari saba hourammi.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.
Eikhoina haiba taribising adugi manungda Thyatira-dagi manggra machugi phi lalonbi Lydia koubi Tengban Mapubu ningjabi nupi ama yaorammi. Paul-na hairiba adu pukning changna tananaba mahakki thamoi Mapu Ibungona hangdokpirammi.
15 And when she and her family had had baptism, she made a request to us, saying, If it seems to you that I am true to the Lord, come into my house and be my guests. And she made us come.
Mahak amadi mahakki imung manunggi misingbu baptize touraba matungda mahakna eikhoida hairak-i, “Eibu Mapu Ibungobu thajabini haina nakhoina khanbirabadi eigi yumda lakpiduna leibiyu.” Asumna mahakna eikhoida kanna haijarammi.
16 And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.
Nongma eikhoina haijanaba mapham aduda chatlingeida phattaba thawai changbi minai leisabi ama eikhoina thengnare. Mahakna laibao phaobagi mapanna mahakki mapusinggidamak sel yamna tanbirammi.
17 She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.
Leisabi asina Paul amadi eikhoigi itung illaga laorak-i, “Karamna kanbiba phanggani haina nakhoida laothokliba mising asi Wangthoiraba Tengban Mapu mahakki manaisingni.”
18 And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
Asumna mahakna numit kayamarum chattharammi. Akonbada Paul-na yamna nungaitaduna onsillaklaga thawai aduda hairak-i, “Jisu Christtagi mingda mangondagi thokkhinaba eina nangonda yathang piri!” Khudak aduda thawai adu nupi adudagi thokkhirammi.
19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers;
Mahakki mapusing aduna makhoigi sel tanbagi khudongchaba adu mangkhre haiba khanglabada makhoina Paul amadi Silas-pu pharaga angambasinggi manak tanna keithel manungda chingduna puraklammi.
20 And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;
Makhoina wayel mapusinggi mangda makhoibu puraklaga hairak-i, “Mising asi Jihudisingni makhoina eikhoigi sahar asi irang langhalle.
21 Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans.
Eikhoigi wayelda kaiba chatnabising makhoina tambi; eikhoi Rome-gi mi ama oina chatnabising adu louba nattraga ngakpa yade.”
22 And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.
Aduga miyam adusu yaona Paul amadi Silas-ki maiyokta houraklammi. Maduda wayel mapusing aduna makhoi anigi maphi segairaga phunaba yathang pirammi.
23 And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:
Makhoibu tamthina phuraba matungda keisumsangda thamjillammi aduga keisumsang panaba aduda makhoibu cheksinna ngak sennaba yathang pirammi.
24 And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.
Yathang asi phanglabada keisumsang panaba aduna makhoibu keisumsanggi manung thangba ka aduda thamlammi aduga makhoigi makhong adu kurao hang challammi.
25 But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;
Ahing nongyai aduwaida Paul amadi Silas-na Tengban Mapuda haijarammi amadi thagat isei saklammi madu atei phadoksing aduna tarammi.
26 And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.
Khanghoudana kanna yuhar haraktuna keisumsang adugi yumpham adu nikkhi. Khudakta keisumsang adugi thong pumnamak hangdoklammi aduga phadok pumnamakki yotlising adu nanthokkhi.
27 And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.
Keisumsang panaba aduna tumbadagi hougatlakkhi aduga keisumsanggi thongsing adu hangdokpa ubada phadoksing nanthokkhre haina mahakna khallammi. Maram aduna mahak masa mathanta sijanaba mahakna mahakki thangsang satlammi.
28 But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.
Adubu Paul-na khonjel wangna laorak-i, “Nasa nathantabu manghanjaganu! Eikhoi pumnamak mapham asida leiri!”
29 And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,
Keisumsang panaba aduna mei puraknaba kouraga mahakna chensillaklammi aduga kibana nikladuna Paul amadi Silas-ki mangda tutharammi.
30 And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?
Adudagi mahakna makhoibu mapanda puthoklaga hairak-i, “Ibungokhoi, kanbiba phangnaba ei kari toujaba tabage?”
31 And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.
Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Ibungo Jisubu thajou aduga nahak amadi nahakki imung manungna kanbiba phanggani.”
32 And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
Adudagi makhoina Mapu Ibungogi wahei adu mahak amadi mahakki imungda leiminnaba pumnamakta sandoklammi.
33 And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.
Ahing adugi pungpham adumaktada keisumsang panaba aduna makhoibu puraga makhoigi asok apansing adu chamthokpirammi aduga khudakta mahak amadi mahakki imunggi mi pumnamak baptize lourammi.
34 And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.
Adudagi mahakna Paul amadi Silas-pu mahakki yumda pusillaga makhoida chana thaknaba pirammi. Tengban Mapubu thajabagi maramna mahak amadi mahakki imung manung pumnamak haraobana thallammi.
35 But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.
Nongngallaklabada wayel mapusing aduna phamnaibasing tharaktuna keisumsang panaba aduda yathang piduna hairak-i. “Mising adu thadokkhro.”
36 And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.
Maram aduna keisumsang panaba aduna Paul-da hairk-i, “Wayel mapusing aduna nahak amadi Silas-pu thadoknaba yathang pirakle. Houjikti chatpikhiba yarani, ingthana lengbiro.”
37 But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.
Adubu phamnaibasing aduda Paul-na hairak-i, “Wayen toudana Rome-gi mi oiba eikhoibu miyam mamangda phuraga keisumsangda thamjinbire aduga houjikna makhoina eikhoibu lonna thadokpa pamlibra? Madu khak yaroi! Makhoi masamak mapham asida laktuna eikhoibu thindoksanu.”
38 And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;
Phamnaibasing aduna waphamsing asi wayel mapusing aduda tamlure maduda makhoina Paul amadi Silas asi Rome-gi mini haiba tabada makhoi yamna kirammi.
39 Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.
Maram aduna makhoina chattuna makhoida nonjarammi aduga makhoina keisumsangdagi makhoibu puthokle aduga sahar adu thadoktuna chatpikhinaba haijarammi.
40 And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.
Paul amadi Silas-na keisumsang adudagi thoraklaga Lydia-gi yumda chatlammi. Mapham aduda thajabasing unaraga makhoida pukning thougatpa wasing haibiramlaga chatkhirammi.
