Acts 28
1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
Tui pei cun akdima kami pek käna, khaw kawng cun Malitah ngming nakia kami ksing law.
2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, 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 when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and 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 barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffers not 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 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
Acunsepi, Pawluh ia am thawn lü kphyu cun mei üng a khyak.
6 However, they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was 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 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
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 to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and 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 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in 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 honors; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
Acunee naw, aktäa letsawng ami jah pet; mlawnga khana kami hlükaw naküt cun ami jah pet.
11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
Khya kthum Aleksandria mlüh üngkhyüh mlawng “Mhnam Ngphi” ngming naki am kami ceh käna, khawsik khyaa kyase Malta kami awmki.
12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
Sarakuh mlüha pha u lü, acua mhnüp kthum kami awmki.
13 And from there we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next 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 we found brothers, and were desired to tarry 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, when the brothers heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and 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 captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
Romaha kami pha üng, Pawluh cun yekap mat naw k'äih lü amät ami vesak.
17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said to them, Men and brothers, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered 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, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no 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 constrained to appeal to Caesar; not that I had something to accuse my nation of.
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 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for 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 out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the brothers that came showed or spoke any harm of you.
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 desire to hear of you what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where 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 when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till 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 believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
Avang naw a ngthu pyen jum u se, avange naw am jum u.
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Ghost by 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 to this people, and say, Hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and 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 the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should 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 therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
Acunakyase, Pamhnama küikyannaka ngthu cun Khyangmjükceea veia jah tha lü ami naw cungai khaie” akpäihnak a ti.
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
Acuna ngthu a pyen päng ja, Judahe amimät naw ngcuh u lü cit bekie.
30 And Paul dwelled two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that 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 those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
Pamhnama khyawngpe ja Bawia Jesuh Khritawa mawng cun lingnak am sangkhapki.
