Acts 28
1 And, when we were safely through, then, we knew that the island was called, Melita.
Tui pei cun akdima kami pek käna, khaw kawng cun Malitah ngming nakia kami ksing law.
2 And, the natives, began to shew us no common philanthropy; for, kindling a fire, they received us all, because of the rain that had set in, and because of the cold.
Khaw a lü, khaw sik se, acuna khyang jah mhlänakie. Khaw a lü khaw sik se, khawmahe naw mei tik u lü kami van jah na dokie.
3 But, when Paul had gathered a certain lot of firewood into a bundle, and laid it on the fire, a viper, by reason of the heat, coming forth, fastened on his hand.
Pawluh naw thing pawk mkhäm lü, mei am a tih üng ngling law se, kphyu lut lawki naw, a kut cui lü a ven law.
4 And, when the natives saw the brute hanging out from his hand, they began to say, one to another—Doubtless, this man is, a murderer, whom, though brought safely through out of the sea, Justice, hath not suffered, to live.
Khyange naw, kphyu cun hmu u lü, “Hina khyang hin, khyang hnimkia kya kung ve, tui üng lät sepi, Phu sui beki naw a xüng vai am ti ve” ami ti.
5 He, however, shaking of the brute into the fire, suffered no harm;
Acunsepi, Pawluh ia am thawn lü kphyu cun mei üng a khyak.
6 whereas, they, were expecting, that he was about to become inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead; —but, when they had been long expecting, and had observed, nothing unusual, happening unto him, they changed their minds, and began to say he was a god.
Amimi naw cun, a pumsa hngawh ta ngphyüng law se, thi lü kyu law khaia ami ngai; acunüng pi khawvei ami k’ä ih käna ia pi am veki tia ami ksing üng, ami mlung nglat se, “mhnama kya ve” ami ti law.
7 Now, in the neighbourhood of that place, were lands, belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, —who, making us welcome, for three days, hospitably entertained us.
Acuna hnün peia, acuna lai ka nakia ngvai säih, Puhbalih ngming naki naw ja je na lü, mhnüp kthum a ja khinnak.
8 And it so happened that, the father of Publius, with feverish heats and dysentery distressed, was lying prostrate: unto whom Paul entering in and praying, laid his hands on him, and healed him.
Acua Puhbaliha pa mhnatei lü a khawn pi msawi se a ihnaka veki. Pawluh a veia lut lü, a khana a kut mtaihki naw, ktaiyü pe se mya be.
9 And, when this happened, the rest also, even they in the island who were sick, were coming in and getting cured;
Acukba a thawn law ja, acuna kyawn üngka khyange am myaki law u se a jah mdaw be.
10 who also, with many honours, honoured us, and, when we were about to sail, put on board such things as we might need.
Acunee naw, aktäa letsawng ami jah pet; mlawnga khana kami hlükaw naküt cun ami jah pet.
11 And, after three months, we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, [a ship] of Alexandria, whose ensign was The Twin Brothers;
Khya kthum Aleksandria mlüh üngkhyüh mlawng “Mhnam Ngphi” ngming naki am kami ceh käna, khawsik khyaa kyase Malta kami awmki.
12 and, touching at Syracuse, we tarried three days;
Sarakuh mlüha pha u lü, acua mhnüp kthum kami awmki.
13 whence, going round, we reached Rhegium; and, after one day, a south wind springing up, on the second day, we came to Puteoli;
Acuna mlüh üngka naw cit u lü Rekon mlüh kami phaki. Angawi üng, cum khawkhi law se, mhnüp nghngihnak üng Pawtajolih mlüh kami phaki.
14 where, finding brethren, we were entreated to tarry, with them, seven days; —and, thus, towards Rome, we came.
Acua jumeikie jah hmu u lü, ami veia mhnüp khyüh kami ve khaw ami jah nghuinak. Acukba cu Romah mlüh da kami lawki.
15 And, when from thence the brethren heard the tidings concerning us, they came to meet us, as far as The Market of Appius and the Three Taverns—seeing whom, Paul thanked God, and took courage.
Romaha veki jumeikie naw kami mawng ksing u se, acun üngka naw, Apijah jawihtuknaka hnüna khyüh thukia law u lü, khina kainak hnün kthuma venak cäpa jah na do lawki he. Pawluh naw jah hmu se Pamhnam je na lü a ktha ve lawki.
16 And, when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.
Romaha kami pha üng, Pawluh cun yekap mat naw k'äih lü amät ami vesak.
17 And it came to pass, after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and, when they came together, he began to say unto them—I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, as a prisoner, out of Jerusalem, was delivered into the hands of the Romans;
Amhnüp kthum käna Pawluh naw, ngnama Judah ngvaie cun jah khü lü ngkhyumkie. Ami ngkhäm law üng Pawluh naw ami veia, “Ka püi Isarele aw, mi khyange ja mi pupaea thum am ka jah lümkanki, cunsepi, thawng üng na khyum u lü Jerusalem üngka naw Romahe kut üng ami na mhjum ni.
18 who, indeed, when they had examined me, were minded to set me at liberty, because there was, nothing worthy of death, in me.
Romah khyange naw na kthäh u lü, thihnak vai hlawka ka bilawh i am hmu u se, ami na hlät be vai ami täng kyaw.
19 But, as the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar, —not as though, against my nation, I had anything to bring by way of accusation.
Cunsepi, Judah khyange naw am täng u lü, Empero Sangpuxanga veia ka ngdang khaia amthuia ami na pawh. Ka khyange cun am jah mkatei veng.
20 For this cause, therefore, have I called for you, to see and to speak with you; for, on account of the hope of Israel, this chain, have I about me!
Acunakyase, nangmi ning ja hmu lü, nami veia ngthueipüi vaia ka ning jah khü ni. Isarele naw ami äpei khyanga phäh kei hin mthiyüi am ami khih ni” a ti.
21 And, they, said unto him—We, have neither received letters concerning thee from the Jews, nor hath anyone of the brethren who hath arrived reported or spoken concerning thee, anything ill.
Amimi naw a veia, “Na mawngma Judah hne üngka naw ca am ami yahki, mi khyang u pi hia law lü na khana am dawki mawng cun pi am pyen law u.
22 But we deem it well, that, from thee, we should hear what are thine opinions; for, indeed, concerning this sect, it is, known to us, that, everywhere, is it spoken against.
Acunsepi, na ngpüinak mawng cun hnün naküta khyange naw ksekhanakie kyase na cungaih cun keimi naw pi kami ngai hlükie ni” ami ti.
23 And, having arranged with him a day, there came unto him, to the lodging, a larger number; unto whom he proceeded to expound, bearing full witness as to the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets, —from morning till evening.
Acunüng khaw mhnüp tamkie. Acuna mhnüp a pha law üng Pawluh venak ima khyang khawha lawki he. Angawi lam üngkhyü tünei lü mü vei cäpa Pamhnama khyawng pe cun Mosia Thum ja sahmaea yuknak üngka Jesuha mawng khe lü khyange cun a jah ksingsak vaia jah mthehki.
24 And, some, indeed, were persuaded by the things that were spoken, whereas, others, disbelieved;
Avang naw a ngthu pyen jum u se, avange naw am jum u.
25 and, not being, agreed, among themselves, they began to leave, —Paul having said one thing—Well, did, the Holy Spirit, speak through Isaiah the prophet, unto your fathers,
Acunüng, käh ngkhawt law u se, Pawluh naw ngthu mat a pyen käna cit bekie. A ngthu pyen cun hina kyaki; “Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw sahma Hesajah üngkhyüh nami pupae veia a pyen hin ihlawka cangki ni,
26 saying—Go thy way unto this people, and say—Ye shall, surely hear, and yet will in nowise understand. And, surely see, and yet will in nowise perceive;
‘Hina khyangea veia cit lü va pyena, akcanga nami ngai khai, acunsepi a suilam am ksing u. Akcanga bükteng u lü pi, am hmuh thei u,
27 For the heart of this people, hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily, have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, —lest once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return, —when I would certainly heal them.
‘isetiakyaküng ami mlung nghmüp lü ami nghnga pi kdenkie lü ami mik pi kbawmkie. Acukba käh thawn lü ami mik naw hmu lü ami nghnga naw pi ngjak khai kyaw. Ami mlung pi ksing u lü kei da nglat law lü ka jah myasak khai ti lü Pamhnam naw a ti.”
28 Be it, known unto you, therefore, that, unto the nations, hath been sent forth this salvation of God: they, will also hear.
Acunakyase, Pamhnama küikyannaka ngthu cun Khyangmjükceea veia jah tha lü ami naw cungai khaie” akpäihnak a ti.
Acuna ngthu a pyen päng ja, Judahe amimät naw ngcuh u lü cit bekie.
30 And he abode two whole years in his own hired house, and made welcome all who were coming in unto him, —
Pawluh cun kum nghngih acua amät im ngvat lü, a veia lawki he naküt cun akdawa jah dokhamki.
31 proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, without hindrance.
Pamhnama khyawngpe ja Bawia Jesuh Khritawa mawng cun lingnak am sangkhapki.
