Acts 20
1 Then, after the tumult ceased, Paul, calling the disciples to himself and exhorting them, said farewell. And he set out, so that he might go into Macedonia.
Olpungnah a paa van neh hnukbang rhoek te Paul loh a tah tih a hloep. A toidal tih Makedonia ah caeh hamla suntla.
2 And when he had walked through those areas and had exhorted them with many sermons, he went into Greece.
Te rhoek pingpang a hil vaengah khaw amih te olka neh muep a thaphoh phoeiah Greek la pawk.
3 After he had spent three months there, treacheries were planned against him by the Jews, just as he was about to sail into Syria. And having been advised of this, he return through Macedonia.
Hla thum a om phoeiah Syria la kat ham cai dae Judah rhoek loh anih te mangtaengnah a khueh dongah Makedonia longah bal ham lungbuei om.
4 Now those accompanying him were Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus from Beroea; and also the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and also Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia.
Te vaengah anih te Berea kah Purrhu capa Sopataru, Thesaalonika kah Aristarkhu neh Sekundu, Derbi kah Kaiyu neh Thimothy, Asia kah Tukhiko neh Trophimu loh a puei uh.
5 These, after they had gone ahead, waited for us at Troas.
Te rhoek loh lamhma uh tih Troas ah kaimih n'rhing uh.
6 Yet truly, we sailed from Philippi, after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we went to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
Kaimih tah vaidamding khohnin phoeiah Philipi lamkah ka kat uh tih, hnin nga khuiah Troas kah amih taengla ka pawk uh. Te ah te hnin rhih ka om uh.
7 Then, on the first Sabbath, when we had assembled together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to set out the next day. But he prolonged his sermon into the middle of the night.
Te vaengkah Sabbath a voeikhat dongah tah kaimih taengkah aka tingtun rhoek ham Paul loh vaidam a aeh pah tih amih te a thuingong puei. A vuen ah bal ham a cai dongah ihdulh duela olka te a yueng.
8 Now there were plenty of lamps in the upper room, where we were gathered.
Te vaengah ka tingtun nah imhman ah hmaiim muep om.
9 And a certain adolescent named Eutychus, sitting on the window sill, was being weighed down by a heavy drowsiness (for Paul was preaching at length). Then, as he went to sleep, he fell from the third floor room downward. And when he was lifted up, he was dead.
Te vaengah cadong pakhat, a ming ah Eutukhu tah bangbuet ah ngol. Paul kah a thui te a sen dongah a ih te muelh rhoi. Ih a rhoi vaengah imhman boengthum lamkah tla thuk tih a duek la a phoel uh.
10 When Paul had gone down to him, he laid himself over him and, embracing him, said, “Do not worry, for his soul is still within him.”
Paul khaw suntla tih anih te a bakop thil tih a sambai phoeiah, “Sarhingrhup la om uh boeh. A khuiah a hinglu om pueng,” a ti nah.
11 And so, going up, and breaking bread, and eating, and having spoken well on until daylight, he then set out.
A yoeng hang phoeiah vaidam te a aeh pah tih yulh a ten uh. Te phoeiah mincang duela a thui tih khoe uh.
12 Now they had brought the boy in alive, and they were more than a little consoled.
Tedae cadong te a hing la a khuen uh vaengkah a ngaimong uh te a phoeng mai moenih.
13 Then we climbed aboard the ship and sailed to Assos, where we were to take in Paul. For so he himself had decided, since he was making the journey by land.
Kaimih tah Asso la kat ham sangpho taengla ka lamhma uh. Te lamkah tah Paul te loh ham cai uh coeng. Amah khaw lan hamla a cai tangtae la a om coeng dongah a uen van coeng.
14 And when he had joined us at Assos, we took him in, and we went to Mitylene.
Te dongah Asso ah ka humcui uh vaengah anih te ka loh uh tih Mitulene la ka pawk uh.
15 And sailing from there, on the following day, we arrived opposite Chios. And next we landed at Samos. And on the following day we went to Miletus.
Te lamloh a vuen ah ka kat uh tih Khios rhalvangan ka pha uh. A vuen bal ah Samos te ka pha uh tih hnin at a om phoeiah Miletu la ka pawk uh.
16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not be delayed in Asia. For he was hurrying so that, if it were possible for him, he might observe the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.
Paul tah Asia ah yulh a koe ham a om pawt dongah Ephisa te poeng ham mulmet uh. Pentekos hnin ah amah om thai atah tila Jerusalem pha ham te a rhingda.
17 Then, sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called those greater by birth in the church.
Te vaengah hlangboel kah a ham rhoek te Miletu lamloh Ephisa la a tah tih a khue.
18 And when they had come to him and were together, he said to them: “You know that from the first day when I entered into Asia, I have been with you, for the entire time, in this manner:
Te dongah a taengla ha pawk uh vaengah amih te, “Asia ah ka cawt khohnin lamhma lamloh ka om tue khuiah nangmih neh metla ka om khaw na ming uh.
19 serving the Lord, with all humility and despite the tears and trials which befell me from the treacheries of the Jews,
Tlayaenah, mikphi boeih neh Boeipa sal ka bi vaengah he Judah rhoek kah a mangtaengnah loh kai taengah noemcainah a thoeng sak.
20 how I held back nothing that was of value, how well I have preached to you, and that I have taught you publicly and throughout the houses,
Nangmih taengah puen ham pawt tih im takuem ah langya la nangmih thuituen ham tah aka rhoei rhoek taengah khaw ka tonga moenih.
21 testifying both to Jews and to Gentiles about repentance in God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pathen taengah yutnah neh mamih Boeipa Jesuh ah tangnah khueh ham te Judah rhoek neh Greek rhoek taengah khaw ka laipai coeng.
22 And now, behold, being obliged in spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
Tedae Jerusalem la caeh ham ni Mueihla loh kai m'pin coeng he. Te ah te kai taengah aka thoeng ham khaw ka ming pawh.
23 except that the Holy Spirit, throughout every city, has cautioned me, saying that chains and tribulations await me at Jerusalem.
Tedae hloong neh phacipphabaem loh kai n'naeh thil te Mueihla Cim loh kai ham kho takuem ah laipai tih a thui.
24 But I dread none of these things. Neither do I consider my life to be more precious because it is my own, provided that in some way I may complete my own course and that of the ministry of the Word, which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the Gospel of the grace of God.
Pathen kah lungvatnah olthangthen te laipai puei tih, Boeipa Jesuh taengkah ka dang bibi neh ka hmatoeng khah hamla ka hinglu lungthen pataeng ol hong lam ni ka khueh coeng.
25 And now, behold, I know that you will no longer see my face, all of you among whom I have traveled, preaching the kingdom of God.
Ram te hoe ham ka hil he a khuiah nangmih loh kai maelhmai boeih na hmu uh voel mahpawh tila ka ming ngawn coeng he.
26 For this reason, I call you as witnesses on this very day: that I am clean from the blood of all.
Te dongah hlang boeih kah a thii lamloh a caih la ka om te tihnin khohnin ah nangmih ham ka laipai coeng.
27 For I have not turned aside in the least from announcing every counsel of God to you.
Pathen kah mangtaengnah te nangmih taengah boeih ka thui mahnim? Te dongah ka tonga moenih.
28 Take care of yourselves and of the entire flock, over which the Holy Spirit has stationed you as Bishops to rule the Church of God, which he has purchased by his own blood.
Namamih neh boiva boeih te khaw ngaithuen uh. Te khuiah nangmih tah Pathen kah hlangboel, a thii neh a kutloh te dawndah ham Mueihla Cim loh hiphoelkung la n'khueh coeng.
29 I know that after my departure ravenous wolves will enter among you, not sparing the flock.
Ka caehnah hnukah nangmih taengla uithang aka tlung te ha kun vetih boiva khaw hlun mahpawh tila ka ming.
30 And from among yourselves, men will rise up, speaking perverse things in order to entice disciples after them.
Te vaengah nangmih khui lamkah namah rhoek ha phoe ni. Hnukbang rhoek te amah hnukla mawt ham paimaelh ol a thui ni.
31 Because of this, be vigilant, retaining in memory that throughout three years I did not cease, night and day, with tears, to admonish each and every one of you.
Te dongah hak uh laeh. Kum thum khuiah, khoyin khothaih mikphi neh toeng mueh la pakhat rhip kan rhalrhing sak te poek uh.
32 And now, I commend you to God and to the Word of his grace. He has the power to build up, and to give an inheritance to all who are sanctified.
A lungvatnah olka dongah hlinsai thai ham neh a ciim tangtae rhoek boeih khuiah rho phaeng ham khaw Pathen taengah nangmih kan tloeng coeng he.
33 I have coveted neither silver and gold, nor apparel,
Tangka khaw, sui khaw, pueinak khaw ka nai moenih.
34 as you yourselves know. For that which was needed by me and by those who are with me, these hands have provided.
Kamah neh ka taengkah aka om rhoek kah a ngoengaih dongah ka kut loh a bi te khaw na ming uh.
35 I have revealed all things to you, because by laboring in this way, it is necessary to support the weak and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Tattloel rhoek bomcen ham a kuek dongah ka thakthae te khaw nangmih taengah boeih kan tueng coeng. Te dongah Boeipa Jesuh amah loh, “N'dang lakah m'paek dongah yoethen om ngai,” a ti olka te poek ham om.
36 And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with all of them.
He he a thui phoeiah a khuklu a cungkueng tih amih boeih te a thangthui puei.
37 Then a great weeping occurred among them all. And, falling upon the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
Te vaengkah hlang boeih te a rhah neh boeih om uh. Paul kah a rhawn te a kop thil uh tih a mok uh.
38 being grieved most of all over the word which he had said, that they would never see his face again. And they brought him to the ship.
Olpuei la a mikhmai hmuh ham om voel mahpawh tila a thui ol loh hlang boeih a yuek. Te phoeiah anih te sangpho taengla a thak uh.
