Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
Malta a ti sanglak tah sading la ka hmuh uh.
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
Te vaengah kholong rhoek loh kaimih taengah lungnah a tueng sak te a mailai moenih. Rhotui ha pai tih khosik vaengah kaimih ham hmai boeih han toih uh tih n'doe uh.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Paul loh thingpaem pok at te a sisuk tih hmai dongah a pup hatah hmaihu khui lamkah rhulthae ha thoeng tih a kut a kap pah.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
A kut lamkah aka bat satlung te kholong rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah khat neh khat te, “Hekah hlang tah hlang aka ngawn la om tih tuili lamloh ha daem ngawn dae dantatnah loh anih he hing sak ham a hlah moenih,” a ti uh.
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
Tedae suva te hmai khuila a khoek tih a tloh lam khaw patang pawh.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
Tedae anih a duih ham neh a duek la rhup a cungku ham ni a lamtawn uh. Amih te puet lamso dae anih taengah a lang la a om pawt te a hmuh uh. Te dongah poehlip uh tih, “Anih he pathen ni,” a ti uh.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
Te vaengah a kaepvai hmuen te tah sanglak tongmang a ming ah Poplio kah khohmuen la om. Anih long te kaimih te n'doe tih hnin thum khuiah hlae hlae m'pah sak.
8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
Te vaengah Poplio kah a napa te satloh neh tamthae nat tih yalh. Te dongah anih te Paul loh a kun thil tih a kut a tloeng thil phoeiah a thangthui pah hatah anih te hoeih.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
Te tlam te a om dongah sanglak ah aka om tih tloh aka khueh rhoek long khaw ham paan uh tih hoeih uh.
10 They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
Kaimih he amih loh hinyahnah neh muep n'hinyah uh van dongah tuili ka kat uh vaengkah ham a ngoengaih uh te han sang uh.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
Hla thum phoeiah sangpho neh ka kat uh tih rhaiphae miknoek Alexandria sanglak ah sikca ka boek uh.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Te vaengah Surakousai la ka thoeng uh tih hnin thum ka om uh.
13 From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Te lamkah loh ka khoe uh tih Rhegion te kam pha uh. Tedae hnin at neh tuithim yilh ha hli tih a bae hnin ah Putioloi la ka pawk uh.
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
Te ah te manuca rhoek ka hmuh tih amih loh hnin rhih om ham n'cael uh. Te phoeiah te Rom la ka cet uh tangloeng.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.
Te lamloh kaimih kawng te manuca rhoek loh a yaak uh tih kaimih doe hamla Appios kholung neh impoem pathum duela ha pawk uh. Amih a hmuh vaengah Paul loh thahluenah la a loh tihPathen te a uem.
16 When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Tedae Rom la ka kun uh vaengah Paul te amah aka tawt rhalkap neh amah ngaihloei ah om ham a paek.
17 It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Hnin thum a cum phoeiah Judah rhoek kah a congkhang la aka om rhoek te a hueh tih a tingtun uh vaengah amih te, “Manuca rhoek ka hlang rhoek, kai tah Jerusalem lamloh Roman kut ah thongtla la m'voeih dae pilnam neh pacut rhoek kah khosing te a kingkalh la ka saii moenih.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Amih loh kai he n'cae coeng dae dueknah neh a paelnaehnah te ka khuiah a om pawt dongah hlah ham a ngaih uh.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Te vaengah Judah rhoek kah boekoek dongah Kaisar taeng pha ham ka tanolh. Ka namtu pawt bangla khat khat neh paelnaeh ham vik ha om.
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
He kawng he kungsut tih ni nangmih muei hmuh ham neh uen ham kan cael uh,” a ti nah. Israel kah ngaiuepnah kongah thirhui neh n'ven coeng he.
21 They said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
Te daengah amih loh Paul te, “Nang kawng neh Judea lamkah capat te ka dang uh moenih, nang kawng pakhat khaw a thae la aka thui tih aka puen te manuca khui lamkah pakhat pataeng ha pawk moenih.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
Tedae namah kah na poek te yaak ham ka ngaih uh. Buhlaelh kawng he tah khotomrhali ah boekoek la ka ming uh la om,” a ti uh.
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
Te dongah Paul ham a tue a hmoel uh tih a taengah pahnah hmuen ah muep ha pawk uh. Te vaengah Pathen ram te neh a uen tih a yoek phoeiah Moses olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek dongkah Jesuh kawng te amih ham mincang lamkah hlaemhmah duela a saep pah.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Te vaengkah a thui te hlangvang loh a rhooi tih hlangvang loh a hnalval pah.
25 When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,
Te dongah a hlinghlang la om uh tih khat neh khat moeng uh thae. Paul kah a thui ol pakhat tah, “Mueihla Cim loh na pa rhoek te tonghma Isaiah dong lamkah,
26 saying, 'Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
'Pilnam taengah he cet lamtah thui pah. Hnavue neh na yaak sui dae na hmuhming loengloeng mahpawh. Hmuh khaw na hmuh uh sui dae na hmat uh loengloeng mahpawh.
27 For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.'
Pilnam he a ko talh tih, a hna nen khaw a hnatun uh tloel. A mik khaw a him uh. Mik neh hmu uh tih hna nen khaw yaak uh vaengah thinko neh a hmuhming uh vetih rhoeh ha bal uh vaengah amih te ka hoeih sak lah ve,’ a ti tih a thui te thuem coeng.
28 "Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
Te dongah Pathen kah khangnah he namtom rhoek taengla a thak vaengah amih loh a yaak uh ham te nangmih taengah om sak ham ming uh,” a ti nah.
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
Te vaengah amah kah impham dongah kumhnih puet ngol pai tih,
30 And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
a taengla aka kun rhoek te boeih a doe.
31 proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
Pathen kah ram te a hoe tih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kawng khaw sayalh la phaeng phaeng boeih a thuituen.
