Acts 21
1 When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Amimi am kami ngtai käna, mlawng am cit u lü Kotah kami pha lawki. Acunüng, angawi üng Rodih pha u lü, acun üngka naw cit u lü, Patarah kami phaki.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
Phonisia cit khaia mlawng mat hmu u ngüse, acun ngcum u lü kami citki.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
Kuparuh hmunaka cit u lü, cumlama cit u lü Siria kami phaki. Acunüng Turah tui pei kami phaki. Acua mlawng üngka phüihe jah lawh vaia kyase.
4 Having found the talmidim, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Ruach, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Acunüng, jumeikie jah hmu u lü, acua mhnüp khyüh kami veki; acunüng, anini naw Pawluh cun Ngmüimkhya am mtheh u lü, Jerusalema käh a ceh vaia ami mtheh.
5 When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
Acunsepi, acuna mhnüp päih law se, jah tak hüt lü kami kdungki u lü, cit u ngü se, ami van naw, ami khyucae mah maha mlüh khaw kpung üngkhyüh tui pei cäpa am jah tha law; acua mkhuk msüm u lü kami ktaiyüki.
6 we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
“Mya lü bä” ti u lü mat jah mat mtheh lü mlawng üng kami ngcum üng amimi cun ami ima nghlat bekie.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
Acunüng, Turah üngka naw mlawng am kami ceh law päng üng, Potalemaia kami phaki, acua jumeikie jah hnukset u lü, ami veia mhnüp mät kami veki.
8 On the next day, we departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
A ngawi be tü üng, Ketarih kami phaki; acua thangkdaw sangki Philipa ima kami lutki, ani cun Jerusalema jah kpüi khaia xü, khyühe üngka mata kyase a veia kami veki.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Ani cun nghnumica phyü jah ca naki. Amimi naw Pamhnama ngthu sang hükie.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Acua mhnüp khawvei kami vekie, acuna üng Judah hnea ka Akabas ngming naki sahma mat lawki.
11 Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Ruach ha-Kodesh: 'So will the Judeans in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
Kami veia law lü, Pawluha ksawmyüi lo lü amäta kut khawe jah khit lü, “Jerusalema Judahe naw hikba hina ksawmyüi ka naki khit u lü, khyangmjükceea kut üng ap khaie, Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw a pyen ni” a ti.
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Acuna ngthu kami ngjak ja, Pawluh cun Jerusalema käh cit khaia keimi jah akcee naw kami nghuinak.
13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua."
Pawluh naw, “I vai kyap u lü, ka mlung nami na puksetsaki ni? Bawipa Jesuha ngminga phäha ta Jerusalema ami na khih däka am kya lü thih vaia pi ka lingki ni” a ti.
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
Mtheh lü am ng’yah se, “Bawipa hlüeia kya kawm” kami ti.
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Acua kcün kami sumei käna kami phüie jah pitpyang u lü, Jerusalema kami citki.
16 Some of the talmidim from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early talmid, with whom we would stay.
Ketariha üngka axüisawe avang kami hlawnga law hngakie naw, Manatung ngming naki jumei kcük üngka, Kuparuha ka mat, kami cehnaka ami ngkhahpüi hnga.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Jerusalem mlüh kami pha üng jumeikie naw hlimtui khaia ami ja na khinnak.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to Jacob; and all the elders were present.
A ngawi üng, Pawluh naw Jakuka ima jah cehpüi se, acua sangcim ngvaie veki.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.
Pawluh naw amimi jah hnukset law päng lü, a khüibinak summangei lü Pamhnam naw khyangmjükceea veia bi a bisak naküt avan a jah mtheh.
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Judeans of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.
Amimi naw acuna ngthu ami ngjak üng Pamhnam mhlünmtai u lü, Pawluha veia, “Pawluh aw, Judah khyange thawng khawhah jumei lawki ja ami van naw Thum pi kthanakie;
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
acunsepi, khyangmjükceea veia vekiea Judahea veia, ami cae ami vun käh ami jah mawih vai ja Mosia Thum ami hawih vaia na ja mtheiki tia pyenkie.
22 What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
Ihawkba kya hlüki ni? Na pha law pi ngjakie ni.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
Acunakyase, na veia kami pawh vai cun hin ni. Khyütam taeiki khyang kphyü kami vekie.
24 Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.
Acune jah ngkhahpüi lü, ngcimcaihnak pawia va ngpüi hnga lü, lu kteinaka phu jah pet pe kaw pi. Acunüng, khyange naw, ami ngjak am kcangki tia, namät kung naw Mosi thum na läki tia ksing khaie.
25 But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
Khyangmjükce jumeikie am, juktuh üng peta eiawk, khisa thi, khisa ami kbüh ja hüipawmnake üng ami ngcimcaih vaia kyaki tia, ca kami yuk päng ni” ami ti.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Acuna ngawi üng Pawluh naw, acuna kpamie jah ngkhahpüiki naw, ami veia ngcimcaih hnga lü, Templea k'uma lutki naw, ami ngkhäa phäha petnak akce pawh lü ngcimcaihnaka mhnüpa kümnak vaia mhnüp cun ivei hjo khai ti cun a jah mtheh.
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,
Mhnüp khyüh a küm law hlü üng, Asah üngka Judahe naw Pawluh templea k'uma hmu u lü, khyange naküt jah ksükie naw ami man.
28 crying out, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."
Ngpyang u lü, “Isarel khyange aw, jah kpüi law ua, hin naw khaw naküt üng khyang naküta veia, Judah khyangea thume, hina Temple jah kse na ve; acun däk am ni, templea k'uma pi Krik khyange jah luhpüi lü, hina Temple ngcimcaiki pi mtüihkhehsaki ni” ami ti. (
29 For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
Am acun ham üng Epheta ka Throphimah naki Pawluh naw mlüh k'uma a ceh hü püi hmu u se, templea k'uma cehpüikia pi ami ngaih.)
30 All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
Mlüh üngka ami van üng ngthang hü lü, ngbäm lawki he naw, Pawluh man u lü, temple kpunga kaih lawki he naw, asäng üng ksawhe ami jah khaih law.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Pawluh hnim vaia ami bü ja, Jerusalema khyange naküt aktäa suksak lawki he tia ngthu cun Romah yekap ngvai säiha veia phaki.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
Acunüng, ani naw yekape ja yekap ngvaie jah cehpüi lü, ami veia dawng ktäi se; yekap ngvai säih ja yekape jah hmu u lü, Pawluh ami kpai cun ami hjaüh.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
Yekap ngvai säih naw Pawluh law sih lü, manki naw, mthiyüi nghngih am jah khisak lü, ua kyaki, i pawh khawiki tia a kthäh.
34 Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Khyange akce pyen u lü ngpyang u se, i ami pyen am ksing thei lü, Pawluh cun yekapea venaka ami cehpüi.
35 When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Acunüng, khyange naw aktäa kutban na hlü u se thukcakia ceh u lü, yekape naw kawt u lü Pawluh cun ami cehpüi.
36 for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."
Khyang naküt naw, “hnim ua” tia Pawluha hnua ngpyangkie.
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
Pawluh naw yekapea venaka ami luh law hlüpüi üng yekap ngvai säiha veia, “Na veia ngthu pyen lü ng’yah khai aw?” a ti. Acunüng, ani naw, “Krik ngthu pyen theiki aw? ti lü akthäh.
38 Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
Nang ajana, yea ngthawn lü, khyang thawng kphyü ye vaia kpyawnga ja dawngpüikia Egypt khyanga am na kyaki aw?” a ti.
39 But Paul said, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."
Pawluh naw, “Kei cun Kilikih hne, Tasuh mlüha ngtüikia Judah khyanga ka kyaki, ka venaka mlüh pi sawxata am kya, mlüh ktung ni, na bä ni hina khyangea veia ngthu na pyensaka” a ti.
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Acunüng, yekap ngvai säih naw täng se, Pawluh naw khyak üng ngdüi lü, khyangea ngdümnak vaia a kut kha lü ami ngdüm law ja, Hebru ngthu am:
