Acts 16
1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek.
Pawluh ja Tilah cun Derbe ja Luhtarah citki xawi; acua Timoti ngming naki khritjan mat veki; ani cun jumeikia Judah nghnumia cakpaa kyaki, a pa cun Krika kyaki;
2 The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Ani cun Luhtarah ja Ikoniha vekie naw jumeiki ti lü ania mawng cun pyenkie.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Pawluh naw ani cun ami hlawnga ami cehpüi vai a täng. Acunüng, acua vekiea Judahea phäha, a vun a mawihsak, a pa Krika kyaki tia ami van naw ami ksinga phäha kyaki.
4 And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
Mlüh naküt üng cit hü ni lü, Jerusalema angvaie ja ngsä he naw ami mkhyaha jah läklam vaie cun jumeikie üng ani jah mtheh.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Sangcime cun jumnak üng khäng u lü a mhnüp tä se nung law dämdämkie.
6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia;
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw Asah hne ngthu sang vai am ti se, Pharikih hne ja Kalatih hne avan üng cit hüki xawi.
7 and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
Mutih ng'yü pei ani pha law ja, Bithunih hnea lut khai xawia büki xawi, acunsepi, Jesuha Ngmüimkhya naw am a jah cehsak.
8 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Mutih khe ni lü, Taros da citki xawi.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Mthana Pawluh naw mdannak üng Maketawniha khawa ka khyang mat ngdüi lü, “Maketawniha khawa law lü, jah kpüi lawa” tia, nghui na se a hmuh.
10 And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
Acuna mdannak a hmuh law päng ja, ami veia thangkdaw pyen khaia Pamhnam naw jah khüki tia ksing ni lü, Maketawniha hnea ceh vaia kami ngtünki.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Taros üngkhyüh mlawng am cit u lü, Samotarat kami citki, angawi üng Nepoliha kami cit be tüki;
12 and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.
Acun üngka naw Philipih mlüha kami citki, acuna mlüh cun Maketawniha khaw üng mlüh mata kya lü, Romah mlüh ktung üngkaa kyaki. Acuna khaw üng khawvei kami veki.
13 And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were come together.
Sabbath mhnüp üng, khaw kpunga cit u lü, tui caye da, Judahea ktaiyünaka hnüna vekia kami ngaih. Acua ngaw lü, ngbäm lawki hea nghnumie veia ngthu kami pyenki.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.
Acunüng, Lidia ngming naki, jihsen jawiki, Tuhtirah khawa ka, Pamhnam jumkia nghnumi mat naw kami ngthu ngja lü, Pawluha ngthu pyen cun aktäa ngai khaia Bawipa naw a mlung a mhmawng.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
A im khyawng avan naw Baptican ami khan law päng üng, “Bawipa jumei kcangkia nami na ngaih üng ka ima kai law ua” tia, jah nghui na lü a jah mtheh.
16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
Mhnüp at üng ktaiyünaka hnüna kami ceh k'um üng, mpya nghnumica mat malam pyen lü ngjoki kami khyum. Acuna nghnumica cun Ngmüimkhya kse naw a mahpa phäh malam pyen lü ngui khawh yahki.
17 The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto you the way of salvation.
Acun naw Pawluh ja keimi jah läk law lü, “Hina küikyannaka lam ning ja mtheh lawki he cän hlüngsäihki Pamhnama mpyae ni” ti lü, ngpyangki.
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
Acukba khaw mhnüp khawvei veki. Acukba kyase Pawluh naw am ngja law hlü lü, nghlat sihki naw, Ngmüimkhya kse üng, “Jesuh Khritawa ngming am ka ning mthehki, a k'um üngka naw lut law” a ti ja lut lawki.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
Acunüng, a mahpae naw, ami ngui suinak päihki tia ksing law u lü, Pawluh ja Tilah jah man u lü, khyang ngkhämnak, angvaiea veia ami jah cehpüi.
20 and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Romah Bawiea veia ja cehpüi u lü, “Hi xawi hin Judah khyang xawia kyaki xawi, kami mlüh jah khuimkha lawki xawi,
21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
Ami naw mi thum kpetki thumcam jah mtheikie. Mimi cun Romah khyanga mi kyaki. Amimia bilawh cun am mi läk dat vaia thum pyeni xawi” ami ti.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.
Acunüng khyange cun Pawluh ja Tilah jah pawh khaiea ngkhäm law hngakie, bawie naw ani kcu ja suisak u lü, cung am jah kpai vaia ngthu ami jah pet.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Khawvei ami jah kpai päng lü, thawngima ja khyumkie naw, thawng ngvai naw ngängki am, üp ye khaia a ngäng vaia ami jah mtheh.
24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Acukba mtheh u se, thawngim ngvai naw, thawngima ak'um säisäiha ja khyumki naw, ani khaw cun khyaw üng a jah khun.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
Acunsepi, Pawluh ja Tilah cun, mthana Pamhnama veia ktaiyü ni lü, ng’äi mcuk ni se, thawngim üng kyum hngakie naw ami jah ngaih.
26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.
Angxita ngkhyü ngsün law se, thawngima hnün pi ngsün lawki; acunüng, ksawh naküt nghmawng law se, khyange ami jah khihnake cun ngsutei law päihkie.
27 And the jailor being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Thawng ngvai cun a ihnak üngkhyüh tho lawki, thawngim ksawhe nghmawng u se jah hmu lü, thawng kyume dawng päikiea ngai lü, a kcim lo lü hnimei khaia ngtängki.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Acunsepi, Pawluh naw, ngpyang lü, “Käh thawna; kami van hia kami veki ni” a ti.
29 And he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
Thawng ngvai naw meikdäi akjanga jah kthäh lü, kyühei lü ngkhyet lü, Pawluh ja Tilaha hmaia kawpki.
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Kpunga jah cehpüi lü, “Saja xawi aw, küikyannak ka yah vaia i ka pawh khai?” a ti.
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
Ani xawi naw, “Bawipa Jesuh jumeia, acunüng, namät ja na khuiim khyawng lawnge maha küikyannak nami yah khai” ani ti.
32 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.
Acunüng, a veia ja, a ima vekie naküta veia Bawipaa ngthu ani pyen.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
Acuna mthan, acun naji üng jah cehpüi lü, ami jah kpainaka ani nghmae cun a jah mthih pet; acunüng, amät ja a khuiim khyawng lawng ami ngkhä Baptican khankie.
34 And he brought them up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
A ima ja cehpüiki naw, jah khin na lü, Pamhnam ami jumei lawa phäha, amät cun a khuiim khyawng lawng ami van am aktäa jekie.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
Khaw a thaih law ja, Romah bawie naw, “Acun xawi jah khyah ua” tia, jee ami jah tüih.
36 And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.
Acunüng, thawng ngvai naw, Pawluha veia, “Bawie naw, ning ja hlät khaiea, khyang jah tüi lawki he ni; acunakyase, atuh lut law ni lü, dim’yenak am cit nia” a ti.
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Acunsepi, Pawluh naw, “Romah khyanga kami kyaki, kami mkhyenak am ve xaki ami jah kpai u, thawngim üng ami jah khyum; atuh anghmüa jah ktäm khaiea bükie aw? Acukba am kya sawxat khai; amimät Romah ngvaie law u lü, jah hlät law u se” tia, je ngvai ani jah mtheh.
38 And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans;
Je ngvai naw, acuna ngthu cun Romah ngvaie ami jah mtheh; acunüng, Romah khyanga kyaki xawi tia jah ksing law u lü, kyühei lawki he naw;
39 and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
va cit u lü, ja mcäikie naw, jah nghui na be u lü, thawng üngka naw jah hlät u lü mlüh cun ani cehtak vaia ami jah mtheh.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Acunüng, thawngim üngka naw lut law ni lü, Lidia ima citki xawi; jumeikie jah hmu ni lü, jah dim’yesak ni lü, cit beki xawi.
