Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, when we set sail, having torn ourselves from them, running a straight course, we came unto Cos, and, on the next day, unto Rhodes, —and from thence unto Patara;
A mingmih mi ka ming kqeng awh, Kos tuilak cung na tuicunli awh am dyng na cet poe unyng. A khawngawi awh Rhodes tulak cung na cet unyng, cawhkawng Patara na cet unyng.
2 and, finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, going on board, we set sail.
Cawh Phonicia benna ak cet lawng ce hu unyng saw, cawh ka ming ngawih coengawh cet pahoei unyng.
3 And, sighting Cyprus, and leaving it behind to the left, we held on our voyage to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for, there, the ship was to discharge her cargo.
Cuprus tuilak cung ce haih dan hqoeng unyng saw ak kai benna kawng Siria qam na cet unyng. Tura khaw awh dym unyng saw, cawh lawng awhkaw ik-oeihkhqi chet unyng.
4 And, finding up the disciples, we remained there seven days, and they, unto Paul, began to say, through the Spirit, that he would gain no footing in Jerusalem.
Cawh hubatkhqi hu unyng saw, cekkhqi venawh khaw khqih nyn awm unyng. Myihla ak caming Paul ce Jerusalem na ama ceh aham hlawh uhy.
5 And, when it came to pass that we had completed the days, we went forth, and continued our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, as far as outside the city; and, kneeling down on the beach in prayer,
Cehlai khawnghi ce a boeih awhtaw, cekkhqi ce cehtaak khqi unyng saw lamceh cawng tlaih unyng. Cawh amik awm hubatkhqi ingkaw a mizu ami cakhqi ing ceng dyna ni thak khqi uhy, cekcoengawh tui keng awh khuk sym unawh cykcah unyng.
6 we tare ourselves from each other, and we went on board the ship, while, they, returned unto their homes.
Sadip na boe, ti qu unawh kqeng unyng, kaimih taw lawngawh ngawi unyng saw a mingmih taw im na hlat uhy.
7 And, we, finishing the voyage from Tyre, reached Ptolemais, and, saluting the brethren, abode one day with them;
Tura khaw awhkawng lawng ing cet poe unyng, Ptolemai awh dym unyng, cawhkaw amik awm koeinaakhqi ce kut tlaih unyng saw hypoet awm unyng.
8 and, on the morrow departing, we came to Caesarea, and, entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.
A khawngawi nyn awh cet tlaih bai unyng saw, Kai khaw pha unyng, awithang leek ak khypyikung thlang khqih ak khui awhkaw pynoet Filip a im awh pah unyng.
9 Now—this man, had four virgin daughters, who used to prophesy.
Anih ing vaa ak ta hlan canu pupthli awi amik khypyikhqi tahy.
10 And, as we stayed on many days, there came down a certain man from Judaea, a prophet, by name Agabus;
Cawh ce khawnghi iqyt nu ka mi awm coengawh, Agaba ak mingnaak tawngha pynoet ce Judah nakawng law hy.
11 and, coming unto us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said—Thus, saith the Holy Spirit, the man whose this girdle is, shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver up into the hands of Gentiles.
Kaimih a venawh a law awh, Paul ing ak cawi a zeennaak ce lo nawh, amah a kut ingkaw a khaw ce pin hy, “Ciim Myihla ing, ‘Jerusalem awhkaw Judakhqi ing vemyihna vawhkaw cawi zeennaak ak takung ve pin kawm usaw Gentelkhqi venawh pe kawm uh’ tihy,” tina hy.
12 And, when we heard these things, both, we, and they of the place began beseeching him, not to go up unto Jerusalem.
Ce ak awi ce ka ming zaak awh, kaimih ingkaw cawhkaw ak awmkhqi ing Paul ce Jerusalem na ama ceh aham hlawh unyng.
13 Then, answered Paul—What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For, I, not only to be bound, but to die in Jerusalem, am ready, in behalf of the name of the Lord Jesus.
Cawh Paul ing, “Ikaw ham kqang unawh namik kaw nami seet sak? Pin ham doeng am nawh, Bawipa Jesu ang ming awh athih ham dy awm a oepchoeh na awm nyng kaw,” ni tinak khqi hy.
14 And, as he was not to be persuaded, we ceased, saying—the Lord’s, will be done!
Anih ce hlawh na ama law awhtaw, plal unyng saw, “Bawipa ak kawngaih seh nyng,” ti unyng.
15 And, after these days, making ready what we had, we started to go up unto Jerusalem;
Cekcoengawh, tho unyng saw Jerusalem na cet unyng.
16 and there went certain also of the disciples from Caesarea, along with us, who were to introduce us unto one with whom we might be entertained, one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple.
Kaiserea khaw awhkaw hubat thlang vang ing kaimih ce nik bawng khqi nawh ka mi pahnaak hly kawi Mason a im awh ce ni kai pyi khqi hy. Anih ce Kupra thlang na awm nawh maa awh ni hubat thlang na a awm hawh hy.
17 Now, when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren, gladly welcomed us.
Jerusalem khaw ce ka mi pha awh, koeinaakhqi ing ni ym khqi uhy.
18 And, on the next day, Paul went in with us unto James, and, all the elders, were present.
A khawngawi nyn awh Jakob a venna Paul ingkaw kaimih ce cet unyng, a hqamcakhqi boeih ce cawh awm uhy.
19 And, saluting them, he went on to narrate, one by one, each of the things which God had wrought among the nations through his ministry.
Paul ing cekkhqi ce kut ami tlaih coengawh bi ami binaak awh Khawsa ing Gentelkhqi venawh ikawmyihna them a sainaak tice kqawn pek khqi hy.
20 And, they, having heard, began glorifying God; and they said to him—Thou observest, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jews who have believed, and, all, are zealous for the law.
Ce ak awi ce a ming zaak awh, Khawsa ce kyihcah uhy. Cekcoengawh Paul a venawh: “Toek lah, Juda thlang a thawng a sang ing cangna hawh uhy ce, a mingmih boeih taw anaa awi ak lungnaak thlangkhqi nani ami awm hy.
21 Now they have heard it rumoured concerning thee, that, an apostacy, art thou teaching, from Moses, unto all the Jews, who are among the nations, telling them not to be circumcising their children, nor, by the customs, to be walking.
Gentel khqi anglakawh amik awm Judakhqi ing Mosi ce hlat taak unawh, ami cakhqi chahhui ama qeet voel aham ingkaw nimah phung na khaw amni sak qoe voel aham nang ing cawngpyi hyk ti, tinawh a mingmih a venawh kqawn pe hawh uhy.
22 What, then, is it? at all events, they will hear that thou hast come.
Ikawmyihna ni ti lah voei uh? Nang law hy tice za ngai hawh kawm uh,
23 This, then, do, which unto thee, we say: —We have four men who have a vow upon themselves.
cedawngawh kaimih ing ka mik kqawn law amyihna sai. Kaimih a venawh awi ak kam thlang pupthli awm hy.
24 Taking these unto thee, be purified with them, and spend something upon them, that they may shave their head; and all will get to know, that the things which they have heard rumoured concerning thee, are, nothing, —on the contrary, thou thyself, dost keep the ranks, guarding the law.
Vekkhqi ve ceh pyi nawh ciimcaihnaak ce sai lawt, a mingmih a lu voh phu ce peek pe. Cawhtaw thlangkhqi ing nang akawng amik kqawn ve a hqawng ni, ti bit kawm uh, cehlai namah ingawm anaa awi ing ak kqawn amyihna sai.
25 But, concerning them of the nations who have believed, we ourselves, sent, deciding that they should be guarding themselves, both as to idol sacrifice, and blood, and what is strangled, and fornication.
Khawsa ak cangnaak Gentelkhqi venawh bul qunaak buh a ankhqi ama ai aham, thi ama ai ham, hawng khak meh ama ai ham ingkaw amak ciim nupa thawlhnaak ama sai aham awi tlyknaak ca ce pat pe hawh uhy,” tina uhy.
26 Then Paul, taking unto him the men, on the next day, with them, being purified, began entering into the temple to declare the filling up of the days of the purification—until, the offering, had been presented for each one of them.
A khawngawi nyn awh Paul ing cekkhqi ce ceh pyi nawh cekkhqi mi ciimcaihnaak ce sai haih uhy. Cekcoengawh ciimcaihnaak khawnghi boeih nawh cekkhqi boeih aham ciimsaknaak tym ce sim sak aham bawkimna cet hy.
27 When, however, the seven days were on the point of being concluded, the Jews from Asia, observing him in the temple, began to urge-on all the multitude, and thrust upon them their hands,
Khaw khqih nyn a boeih tawm awh, Asia qam awhkaw Juda thlangkhqi ing bawkim khuiawh Paul ce hu uhy. Cawhkaw thlang kqeng ce cuih unawh Paul ce tu uhy,
28 crying out—Israelites! be giving help! This, is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, is teaching, all men everywhere; furthermore, even Greeks, hath he brought into the temple, and hath profaned this holy place.
“Israel thlangkhqi aw, ni bawm lah uh! Ve ak thlang ing hun qoek awh nik thlangkhqi ingkaw anaa awi ing ve a hun ve kalh nawh thlang cuk am kik hy. Cek coeng bai awh, Greekkhqi ce bawkim awh lut pyikhqi nawh vawhkaw hun ciim ve am caih sak hawh hy,” tinawh khy uhy.
29 For they had before seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city along with him, whom they were supposing, Paul, had brought, into the temple.
(Ephesa khaw awhkaw Trophima ce Paul ingqawi lamma na khawk bau khuiawh hu hawh unawh, anih ce Paul ing bawkim ipkhui kawngma na ceh pyi namih hy, tinawh poek hau uhy.)
30 And the whole city was set in motion, and there took place a running together of the people, and, laying hold of Paul, they proceeded to drag him outside the temple, and, straightway, the doors were made fast.
Cawh khawk bau pum awh awipuungnaak ce awm hy, cedawngawh hun boeih nakawng thlangkhqi ce dawng law uhy. Paul ce tu unawh, bawkim awhkawng amik dawk awh vawng chawh ce khai pahoei uhy.
31 When, also, they were seeking to slay him, there was carried up information, unto the captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion: —
Paul ce him ham na cai uhy, cawh khawk bau khui pum awh awipuungnaak awm hy tice Rom qaalboei ing za hy.
32 who, instantly taking unto him soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them; and, they, seeing the captain and the soldiers, left off striking Paul.
Anih ing qaalboei pynoet ingkaw qalkapkhqi ce ang tawnna khy nawh thlang kqeng a venna ce dawng uhy. Thlang kqeng ing qaalboei ingkaw qalkapkhqi ce ami huh awh, Paul ami vyk ce noen uhy.
33 Then, the captain, drawing near, laid hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains, —and began to enquire, who he might be, and what he had done;
Qaalboei ing cet nawh Paul ce am tu awh thiqui pakkhih ing khih aham awi pehy. U aw ang mingnaak, ikaw a sai dawngawh nu, tice doet hy.
34 but, others, were calling out, something else, in the multitude; and so, as he could not get to know the certainty, because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the castle.
Thlang kqeng ak khuiawh kaw thlang vangkhqi ing ak chang na khy toek toek uhy, cawhkaw awipungnaak awh ce a qaalboei ing awitak ce am sim thai hy, cedawngawh Paul ce qalkapkhqi awmnaak im na ceh pyi aham awi pehy.
35 And, when he came unto the stairs, so it was that he was borne along by the soldiers, because of the force of the multitude;
Paul ing thlaak kainaak a pha awh, thlang kqeng ing ami phawp ami seh aih awh qalkapkhqi ing Paul ce zoek unawh pawm uhy.
36 for the throng of the people was following, crying out—Away with him!
Cawh thlang kqeng ing a hu hu awh, “Him uh, him uh,” tinawh khy uhy.
37 But, when he was on the point of being taken into the castle, Paul saith unto the captain—Is it allowed me, to say somewhat unto thee? And he said—With Greek, art thou acquainted?
Qalkapkhqi ing Paul ce qalkapkhqi awmnaak na ami ceh pyi tawm awh, qaalboei a venawh, “Awi kak kqawn hly thai aw? tinak khqi hy. Anih ing, “Greek awi na aw na pau?”
38 Not, then, art, thou, the Egyptian, who, before these days, stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four-thousand men of the Assassins?
Nang ve Izip pa maana thlang thongli kqawng damiah na ak ceh pyi ce aw? tina hy.
39 And Paul said—I, indeed, am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, —a citizen, of no obscure city; but I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people!
Paul ing, “Kai taw Kilikia qam Tarsu khaw awhkaw Juda thlang ni, khaw mailai awhkaw thlang am ni. Thlang kqeng a venawh awi nik kqawn sak cang,” tina hy.
40 And, when he had given leave, Paul, standing upon the stairs, waved with his hand unto the people; and, when great silence was secured, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying—
Qaalboei ing awi kqawn thainaak ce a peek awh, Paul ing thlaak awh dyi nawh thlang kqeng ce a kut ing zaap hy. Thlang boeih ami awm sap awhtaw, a mingmih a vanawh Aqamaic awi na awi kqawn pek khqi hy.
