Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.
Te phoeiah Derbe neh Lustra khaw a pha. Te vaengah hnukbang pakhat, a ming ah Timothy tah tapkhoeh om. Anih tah Judah nu uepom neh a napa Greek hoel kah a capa ni.
2 To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony.
Lustra neh Ikonium kah manuca rhoek loh anih te a oep uh.
3 Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
Anih te Paul loh amah neh caeh puei a ngaih. Tedae te rhoek hmuen ah Judah rhoek khaw om tih a napa khaw Greek ni tila boeih a ming uh dongah anih te a khuen tih yahvin a rhet pah.
4 And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.
Kho takuem la a pah rhoi vaengah Jerusalem kah caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek loh a tloek oltloek te ngaithuen ham khaw amih taengah a pak pah rhoi.
5 And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.
Te dongah hlangboel rhoek loh tangnah dongah cak uh tih hnin takuem ah hlangmi loh pungtai.
6 And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
Phrygia neh Galatia paeng a hil rhoi vaengah Asia ah olka thui sak ham Cim Mueihla loh a mah.
7 And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
Musia a pha uh vaengah Bitunia la caeh ham khaw a noem uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Jesuh Mueihla loh hlah pawh.
8 And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
Te dongah Musia a poeng vaengah Troas la suntla uh.
9 And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
Khoyin ah a mangthui loh Paul taengla a phoe pah. Te vaengah Makedonia hlang pakhat loh pai tih anih te a hloep. Te phoeiah, “Makedonia la ha hlaikan lamtah kaimih m'bom lah,” a ti nah.
10 And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
Mangthui a hmuh nen tah Makedonia la aka cet ham ni pahoi a toem coeng. Amih taengah olthangthen thui ham Pathen loh kaimih n'khue tila a cului.
11 And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;
Te dongah Troas lamkah Smothrace la thaeng kat rhoi. A vuen ah kho thai la,
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together.
te lamkah te Philipi la pawkuh. Philipi he Rom kuthmui kho khuiah Makedonia khosa kho tanglue la om. Tekah kho ah ka om uh vaengah khaw a tue bet ka loh uh.
13 And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.
Sabbath hnin ah vongka la voelh ka cet uh tih tuiva kaengah thangthuinah om ni tila ka poek uh. Te phoeiah ka ngol uh tih huta aka tingtun rhoek taengah ka thui pauh.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.
Te vaengah huta pakhat, a ming ah Lydia, Thyatira kho kah daidihni aka yoi tih Pathen aka bawk long khaw a hnatun. Paul loh a thui te ngaithuen hamla Boeipa loh a thinko a puk sak.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
Tedae a imkhui long khaw a nuem sak. Te dongah, “Boeipa taengah uepom la om ham kai nan boelh uh atah ka im ah ha kun uh lamtah pah uh dae,” a ti tih n'hloep uh. Te phoeiah kaimih te tlal n'hloh.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.
Te vaengah thangthuinah la ka cet uh tih hmayuep rhai aka khueh salnu pakhat tah kaimih doe hamla ha moe. Anih long te a hma neh boei rhoek ham bi muep a coeng pah.
17 This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.
Anih loh Paul neh kaimih te n'hloem tih, “Hekah hlang rhoek tah Khohni Pathen kah sal rhoek pai ni. Amih long ni nangmih taengah khangnah longpuei a doek uh,” a ti tih pang.
18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.
Te tlamte hnin takuem a saii coeng. Tedae Paul loh a yakdam dongah rhai te a mael thil tih, “Nang he Jesuh Khrih ming neh ol kan paek, anih lamloh cet laeh,” a ti nah hatah amah te vaeng tue ah pahoi nong.
19 But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.
A bibi kah ngaiuepnah loh tal coeng tila a boei rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah Paul neh Silas te a tuuk uh tih hnoyoih hmuen kah boei rhoek taengla a mawt uh.
20 And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;
Amih rhoi te imtawt boei taengla a thak uh tih, “Hekah hlang rhoi loh kho khuikah aka om Judah rhoek, kaimih he n'ngaelawn coeng.
21 And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.
Roman la aka om kaimih loh doe ham aka tueng pawt tih saii pawt koi khosing te a doek rhoi,” a ti uh.
22 And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Te dongah amih rhoi te hlangping loh a thoh thil. Te vaengah imtawt boei rhoek loh a himbai te a phen pah tih boh ham ol a paek.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.
Amih rhoi te lucik neh muep a nan phoeiah thongim ah a hlak uh tih, amih te rhep tawt ham thong boei te a uen.
24 Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Tebang olpaek aka dang loh amih rhoi te thongim khui la a khueh tih a kho te thinglong neh a khoh pah.
25 And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.
Tedae ihdulh ah Paul neh Silas loh thangthui neh Pathen a hlai rhoi te amih thongtla rhoek long khaw a hnatun uh.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
Te vaengah lingluei te muep hinghuen tarha tih thongim kah khoengim khaw hlinghloek. Te dongah thohka te boeih ong uh tarha tih hlang boeih kah hloong khaw boeih hlam uh.
27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
Thong boei loh a haenghang vaengah thongim thohka a ah la a om te a hmuh. Te dongah cunghang te a yueh tih amah te ngawn uh la cai. Thongtla rhoek te poenghal ham ni a poek coeng.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.
Tedae Paul tah ol ue la pang tih, “Namah te thae saii boeh. Boeih ka om uh ngawn ta he,” a ti nah.
29 Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
Hmaivang a bih tih a muk phai. Te vaengah a thuen neh om tih Paul neh Silas te a bakop thil.
30 And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
Tedae amih rhoi te voelh a lamhma phoeiah, “Boeipa rhoi aw, daem hamla ka saii koinih balae a kuek eh?” a ti nah.
31 But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Amih rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa Jesuh te tangnah lamtah namah neh na imkhui khaw na daem bitni,” a ti nah.
32 And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
Te vaengah anih neh a im khuikah aka om rhoek boeih taengah Boeipa olka te a thui pah.
33 And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
Te daengah amih rhoi te a khuen tih amah khoyin tue ah boengha te a pawt pah. Te phoeiah amah neh a taengkah boeih te pahoi a nuem.
34 And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
Te phoeiah amih rhoi te im la a khuen tih caboei a phaih pah. Te dongah Pathen aka tangnah loh a imko te ko a hoe sak.
35 And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
Khothaih a pha vaengah imtawt boei loh palik a tueih tih, “Tekah hlang rhoi te hlah laeh,” a ti nah.
36 And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart, and go in peace.
Te dongah thong boei loh Paul taengah, “Nangmih hlah ham imtawt boei loh n'tueih uh coeng. Te dongah coe lamtah ngaimong la cet rhoi laeh, “ti ol te a puen pah.
37 But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now do they thrust us out privately? Not so; but let them come,
Tedae amih te Paul loh, “Roman hlang la aka om kaimih he lungla maila langya ah m'boh uh tih thongim khuiah nan ng'khueh uh he a huep la kaimih n'haek uh aya? Te moenih, amamih ha lo uh saeh lamtah kaimih he n'doek uh saeh,” a ti nah.
38 And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.
Hekah ol he palik rhoek loh imtawt boei taengah a puen pa uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Roman hlang ni tila a yaak uh vaengah a rhih uh.
39 And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.
Te dongah ha lo uh tih amih rhoi te a hloep uh. Te phoeiah a doek uh tih kho khui lamkah nong sak ham a hloep uh.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Te dongah thongim lamloh cet rhoi tih Lydia taengla kun rhoi. Te vaengah manuca rhoek te a tong tih a hloep phoeiah cet rhoi.
