Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding [day] to Rhodes, and there to Patara,
Amate kung pan ka pai uh ciang in, tembaw taw a tangtan in ka pai uh a, Coos ka theng uh hi, a zingciang in Rhodes ka theng uh a, tua mun pan in Patara ka paisuak uh hi:
2 and having found a ship passing over to Phoenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
Phoenicia pai tu tembaw ka mu uh a, a sung ka tum zawk uh ciang ka pai uh hi.
3 and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the cargo.
Cyprus ka mu uh ciang in veisang ka zuan uh a, Syria sang ah ka pai uh hi, taciang Tyre ah ka tawlnga uh hi: banghangziam cile tua mun ah tembaw i puak van te khia uh hi.
4 And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem;
Taciang nungzui te taw ka kimu uh a, ni sali sung ka taam uh hi: amate in, Paul sia Jerusalem a pai tu hi ngawl hi, ci in Thaa tungtawn in son hi.
5 but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, to the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees on the shore, we prayed,
Tua hun sung teng a bo ciang in, ka pusuak kik uh a, ka paisuak uh hi; taciang amate a vekpi in a zite le a tate uh taw, khuapi puasang dong hong tha uh a: tuihui ah khupdin in thu ka ngen khawm uh hi.
6 and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
Taciang khat le khat ka kikhen zawk uh ciang, tembaw sung ka tum uh a, amate zong inn sang ah cia uh hi.
7 And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers, we remained one day with them;
Tyre pan in khualhaw ka man uh ciang in Ptolemais ka theng uh hi, taciang suapui te ka paupui uh a, amate taw ni khat sung ka om uh hi.
8 and on the next day Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist—who is of the seven—we remained with him,
A zingciang in koma Paul le a lawmte ka pai uh a, Caesarea ka theng uh hi: taciang thupha puak Philip innsung ah ka tum uh a, ka taam uh hi, Philip sia upa sali sung pan khat a hihi.
9 and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
Taciang Philip in tanu li nei hi, amate sia ngaknu thiangtho te hi a, mailam thu pualak uh hi.
10 And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus,
Tua mun ah ni tampi sung ka taam uh hi, tua mun ah Judah ngam pan in Agabus a kici kamsang khat hong theng hi.
11 and he having come to us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having also bound his own hands and feet, said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose is this girdle—so will the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they will deliver [him] up into the hands of nations.”
Taciang ka kung uh ah hongpai ciang in, Paul i kawngkhau la a, ama khut le peang te hen hi, taciang, hi kawngkhau neipa sia Judah mite in Jerusalem ah hen tu a, Gentile mite khut sung ah ap tu hi, ci in Tha Thiangtho in ci hi, ci hi.
12 And when we heard these things, we called on [him]—both we, and those of that place—not to go up to Jerusalem,
Hi thu ka zak uh ciang in, koma le tua mun a om te in Paul sia Jerusalem pai ngawl tu in ka thum uh hi.
13 and Paul answered, “Why are you weeping, and crushing my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus”;
Tua zawkciang in Paul in, banghang in kap in ka thin hong nosak nu ziam? banghangziam cile Topa Jesus min taw ki hen tu bek hi ngawl, Jerusalem ah thi thu zong ka ki nging khol zo hi, ci in zo hi.
14 and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, “The will of the LORD be done.”
Taciang ka sonpui zawk ngawl uh ciang in, ka tawl nga uh a, Topa deina bang hi tahen, ka ci uh hi.
15 And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem,
Tua ni teng zawkciang in ka van te uh ka ki thoai uh a, Jerusalem ah ka pai uh hi.
16 and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.
Caesarea a om nungzui pawlkhat te in zong hong zui uh a, ka ngia natu uh mun Syprus mi Mnason zong hong tonpui uh hi, Mnason sia a kipatcil pan kipan in nungzui khat a hihi.
17 And we having come to Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us,
Jerusalem ka thet uh ciang in, suapui te in angtangtak in hong muak uh hi.
18 and on the next day Paul was going in with us to James, all the elders also came,
A zingciang Paul taw James kung ah ka tum uh a; upa te theampo zong om uh hi.
19 and having greeted them, he was expounding, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministry,
Paul in amate nukset a, a tuan in Gentile te sung a nasep na tungtawn in Pathian i nasep nate pualak hi.
20 and they having heard, were glorifying the LORD. They also said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the Law,
Amate in tua thu a zak uh ciang in, Topa minthang pok uh a, thukham taw kisai a citak mama Judah mi tul tampi te in um uh hi; ci mu uh hi:
21 and they are instructed concerning you, that you teach departure from Moses to all Jews among the nations, saying not to circumcise the children, nor to walk after the customs;
Nangma in Moses thukham na nusia tu a, amate tate zong vunteap tan ngawl tu a hihi, taciang ngeina te zong a zui tu uh hi ngawl hi, ci in na hil hi, ci thu Gentile mite sung ah a om Judah mite theampo tung ah phawksak hi.
22 what then is it? Certainly the multitude must come together, for they will hear that you have come.
Tua ahikom bang vawt tu khu ziam? mihonpi te hong ki kaikhop kul hamtang tu hi: banghangziam cile amate in nong thet hunlam he tu hi.
23 This, therefore, that we say to you, do. We have four men having a vow on themselves,
Tua ahikom note kong son bang in vawt in: amate tung ah kiciam na a nei mi li ka nei uh hi;
24 having taken these, be purified with them, and be at expense with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning you are nothing, but you walk—yourself also—keeping the Law.
Amate taw pai tavun a, thiansuana vawt tavun, amate lu mettol hen a, a bo na dangka te zong piaksak in: taciang nangma taw kisai thu te sia bangma thupi ngawl hi; ahizong nangma vateak in thukham bang zui in nanungta hi, ci thu mi theampo in he tu hi.
25 And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.”
A um Gentile mite taw kisai in, tabang thu te bangma zui ngawl tu in, lai ka thak zo uh hi, ahihang milim te tung a kipia thisan, tawlsan in a ki ngo sa te le paktat nate pan in amate le amate kikeam tahen, ci hi.
26 Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day, having purified himself with them, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, until the offering was offered for each one of them.
Tua ahikom Paul in a zingciang in mihing li te paipui a, amate taw thianthona vawt khawm uh hi, taciang biakinn sung ah tum uh a, thianthona hun a bo tu ni le amate khatsim atu biakpiakna piak tu zong hilhi.
27 And as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands on him,
Ni sali ni a bo ciang in, Asia ngam Judah mite biakinn sung ah Paul a mu uh ciang in, mi theampo hanthawn uh a, paul man uh hi,
28 crying out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who, against the people, and the Law, and this place, is teaching all everywhere; and further, also, he brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place”;
Israel mite awng, hong hu tavun: hisia pa in mun tatuam a om mi theampo, thukham le hi mun langpan in thuhil hi: tuabek dom ngawl in Greek mite zong biakinn sung ah tumpui a, hi mun thiangtho ninsak hi, ci in au uh hi.
29 for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple.
Banghangziam cile amate in Ephesus khua mi Trophimus taw Jerusalem ah a mu ngei uh hang in biakinn sung ah tumpui hi, ci muangmaw uh hi.
30 All the city was also moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut,
Taciang khuapi bup hong linglawng a, mipi te tai kheukho uh hi: taciang amate in Paul man uh a, biakinn sung pan in kaikeak uh hi: tasia pociang kongkha te khak siat hi.
31 and they seeking to kill him, a rumor came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem has been thrown into confusion,
Amate in Paul that tu a paipui uh ciang in, tulkhat uk ngalkap mangpa kung ah, Jerusalem buppi buaina piang hi, ci thu theng hi.
32 who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down on them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
Ama in ngalkap te le zakhat uk ngalkap mang te sam pai a, mipi te sang ah tai uh hi: taciang amate in tulkhat uk ngalkap mangpa le ngalkap te a mu ciang in, Paul sia vel nawn ngawl in tawlnga hi.
33 Then the chief captain, having come near, took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he has been doing,
Tua zawkciang in tulkhat uk ngalkap mangpa sia Paul kung ah hongpai a, a mat zawkciang thikkol ni taw hen tu in thupia hi; taciang ama akua ziam, cile bangvawt ziam, ci dong hi.
34 and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the stronghold,
Taciang mihonpi sung pan in mi pawlkhat te in a tuam in au uh a, pawlkhat te in a tuam in au uh hi: tabang in ngalkapmang pa in buaina thu thiangtak in a tel thei ngawl hu in, Paul sia ngalkap inn huang sung ah tumpui tu in thupia hi.
35 and when he came on the steps, it happened he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
Keallei tung a thet ciang in, ngalkap te in dom uh hi, banghangziam cile mipi te in nawm ngawp uh hi.
36 for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, “Away with him.”
Banghangziam cile mihonpi in a nung pan zui uh a, hisia pa that vun, ci in au kawm uh hi.
37 And Paul being about to be led into the stronghold, says to the chief captain, “Is it permitted to me to say anything to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?
Paul sia ngalkap inn huang sung ah a paipui tu uh ciang in, tulkhat uk ngalkap mangpa kung ah, kong paupui thei tu ziam? ci hi. Taciang ngalkap mangpa in Greek kam pau thei ni ziam?
38 Are you not, then, the Egyptian who made an uprising before these days, and led the four thousand men of the assassins into the desert?”
Nangma sia tu masia buaina vawt a, tualthat mi tul li duisung ah a paipui Egypt mi pa hi ngawl ni ziam? ci hi.
39 And Paul said, “I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people.”
Ahihang Paul in, keima sia Cilicia ngamsung ah khua thathong a hi ngawl, khuapi khat a hi Tarsus a om Judah mi ka hihi: taciang, hi mipi te tung ah thuson hun nong piak natu kong thum hi, ci hi.
40 And he having given him leave, Paul having stood on the stairs, beckoned with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
Ngalkap mangpa in thuson hun a piak ciang in, Paul sia keallei tung ah ding a, mipi te a khut taw van hi. Taciang mipi te a thim khipkhep uh ciang in, amate tung ah Hebrew kam taw thuson a,
