Acts 16
1 And he came to the city Derbe, and to Lystra. And there was a certain disciple there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but his father was a Gentile.
Chuin Paul chu Derbe ah ache masan chujouvin Lystra ah achen ahile hikoma chun seijui khang dong Timothy kiti mikhat anaum in ahi. Ama chu anu Judah mi ahin, apa vang chu Greek mi ahi.
2 And all the disciples of Lystra and Iconium gave good testimony of him.
Timothy chu Lystra le Iconium muna angaisang loi tahu seijui khat ahi.
3 Him Paul was disposed to take with him: and he took him, and circumcised him, because of the Jews that were in that region; for they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
Chuin Paul in ama chu alhonpi ding in adei sah in, hijeh chun akilhon khom masang lhonin Judah ten achom mu lou nadinguvin Timothy chu chep tan nading angaiton ahi. Ajeh chu mijousen apa Greek mi ahi chu ahet u ahi.
4 And as they went among the cities, they preached and taught them, that they should observe those injunctions which the legates and Elders at Jerusalem had written.
Chuin amani chu khopi khat a konin khopi khat'ah avahle lhonin seijui ho chun Jerusalema solchahho le upa ho thulhuhna chu phatecha ajui cheh nadingun thu ahille lhon tan ahi.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and were increased in number daily.
Chuti chun houbung ho chu atahsan nau suh hat in aumin chule nisih in akhanglen jep jep un ahi.
6 And they travelled through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia; and the Holy Spirit forbid them to speak the word of God in Asia.
Chuin Paul le Silas chu Phrygia le Galatia gamsunga akholjin jom lhon tan ahi ajeh chu Lhagao Theng in Asia gamsunga Pathen thulhangsap ding chu ajahda ahi.
7 And when they came into the region of Mysia, they were disposed to go from there into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus permitted them not.
Chuin Mysia gamgi ahung lhun lhon phat in Bithynia jon ding in akihei toulhon in ahile hiche gam'a achelhon ding jong chu Pakai Lhagao in aphal pon ahi.
8 And when they departed from Mysia, they came down to the region of Troas.
Hijeh chun kihei tou talouvin Mysia gamsunga achepeh lhon in Troas kongkaimun chan achelhon tan ahi.
9 And in a vision of the night, there appeared unto Paul, a man of Macedonia, who stood and besought him, saying: Come to Macedonia and help us.
Hiche ni jan chun Paul in mu aneiyin: Athilmu achun Greece sahlam gam'a um Mecedonia akonin mikhat ahung ding in “Mecedonia gam'a hung in lang neihung kithopiuvin,” tin ahung taovin ahi.
10 And when Paul had seen this vision, immediately we were desirous to depart for Macedonia; because we inferred, that our Lord called us to preach to them.
Hijeh chun keiho Mecedonia jonin kache tauvin, hiche gam'a kipana thupha lhangsam dinga Pathen in eikouvu ahi chu kahe tauvin ahi.
11 And we sailed from Troas, and came direct to Samothrace; and from there, on the following day, we came to the city Neapolis.
Chuin keiho Troas a konin konga katouvun jangjalin kacheuvin Samothrace twikol a kakinga pauvin, ajingin Neapolis kalhung tauvin ahi.
12 And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of Macedonia, and is a colony. And we remained in that city certain days.
Hichea kon chun Mecedonia gamsunga khopi lenloi Rome te khosatna Philippi kalhung tauvin, hichea chun nikho tampi ka nichongun ahi.
13 And on the sabbath day, we went without the gate of the city to the side of a river, because a house of prayer was seen there. And when we were seated, we conversed with the women who there assembled.
Chuin cholngah nikhon khopi pamlama naicha a um vadung panga chun miho taokhom inte tia kagel jeh-u chun kacheuvin, hiche muna numei phabep anaum khom ho koma chun katouvun thu kaseiyun ahi.
14 And a certain woman who feared God, a seller of purple, whose name was Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, was there. Her heart our Lord opened, and she hearkened to what Paul spake.
Chuin Numei ho lah a chun Lydia kiti Thyatira gammi khat aumin ama chu ponsadup mantam tah a sumkolvei mi ahin chule ama chu Pathen hou jong ahi. Aman ka thuseiju chu phatechan angaiyin ahile Pakaiyin alungthim kot ahin hongin Paul thusei chu ajop tan ahi.
15 And she was baptized, and her household. And she entreated us, saying: If ye are really persuaded that I have believed in our Lord, come and take lodging in my house. And she urged us much.
Chuin amanu chu a insung mi jouse to baptize achangun, chule ama nun adongun “Pakai seijui dihtah ahi neitiuva ahile keima in'ah hung lhung unlang kajin in hung pangun,” tin anop tokah uvin angeh tan ahi.
16 And it occurred that, as we were going to the house of prayer, a certain maid met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who procured for her lords great gain by the divination which she performed.
Nikhat taona ding muna kache suh uva ahile lhagaoboh vop soh numei khat kamu uvin, amanu chun khonunga hung lhung ding thu aseiya aPakai tedinga sum tampi pi alo ji ahi.
17 And she followed after Paul and us, and cried, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, and they announce to you the way of life.
Amanu chun Paul le keiho nung ajuiyin aw sangtah in asamin, “Hiche miho hi Chung Nungpen Pathen sohte ahiuvin, chule huhhing'a naum theina dingu thu ahung seiyu ahi,” ati.
18 And this she did many days. And Paul was indignant; and he said to that spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Messiah, that thou come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
Hiti chun nikho tampi abolin ahile Paul jong alunghang tan, chuin akiheiyin asunga cheng lhagaoboh koma chun aseiyin, “Yeshua Christa mina thu kapeh nahi, amanu sunga konin pot in,” atile, apettah chun adalhatan ahi.
19 And when her lords saw that the prospect of their gain from her was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragging them along brought them to the market-place,
Chuin apakaiteu chun haosatna dinga akinepna jouseu akephat in Paul le Silas amanun kailhang muna thunei vaihom ho masanga akailut tauvin,
20 and set them before the prefects and chiefs of the city, and said: These men disturb our city; for they are Jews,
“Hiche Judah miho jeh hin khopi sung pumpi boina asou sang tai” tin khopi vaihom ho henga asam tauvin ahi.
21 and they preach to us customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and to practise, because we are Romans.
Chule “Eiho Rome mite chonna toh kitoh lou chon dan thu ahilui,” atiuvin ahi.
22 And a great company was collected against them. Then the prefects rent their garments, and commanded to scourge them.
Chuin mipi chu Paul le Silas dounan akikhom uvin, thing tenggol mangcha a ajep theina dingun khopi vaihom ho chun mipi chu thu ape tauvin ahi.
23 And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the prison, and commanded the keeper of the prison to keep them with care.
Chuin melsetah a avoh jouvun songkul'a akhumun, songkul ngah ho henga chun phatechan anga tup dingun thu apeuvin ahi.
24 And he, having received this command, carried and immured them in the inner part of the prison, and confined their feet in the stocks.
Hijeh chun songkul ngah hon asung dan langpeh a akeng teni akan khomun akoi tauvin ahi.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and glorifying God: and the prisoners heard them.
Chuin jankhangkim laiyin Paul le Silas chu atao lhonin Pathen avahchoi lhonin ahile sonkula tangho chun angaiyuvin ahi.
26 And suddenly there was a great shaking, and the foundations of the prison were moved; and at once all the doors opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
Chuin phulou helouvin lingpi nasatah ahung kihot in, songkul khombul ho chu ahin hottan ahile, songkul kot jouse akihong tan, akihen na jouseu jong akilham tan ahi!
27 And when the keeper of the prison awoke, and saw that the doors of the prison were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself; because he supposed the prisoners had escaped.
Chuin songkul ngahpa ahung khah doh le songkul kot jouse ana kihon amu phat chun asunga umho jouse jammang gam ahitai tin achem asatdoh in ama le ama akithat kigon ahi.
28 But Paul called to him, in a loud voice, and said: Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Ahivang in Paul chun asamin, “Khongaiyin nang le nang kithat hih in! keiho kabon chauvin kaum nauve!” atin ahi.
29 And he lighted for himself a lamp, and sprang and came in, trembling, and fell at the feet of Paul and Silas.
Chuin songkul ngahpa chun mei akidet in asungdan langa alhailut in Paul le Silas masanga kithing pum pumin akisep lhutan ahi.
30 And he brought them out, and said to them: My lords, what must I do, that I may have life?
Chuin polama ahin puidoh lhonin, “Pu huhhing'a kaumna dinga ipi kabol ngaiyem?” ati.
31 And they said to him: Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and thou wilt have life, thou and thy house.
Amanin adonbut in “Nang le na insung miten Pakai Yeshua tahsanun chutile huhhing'a naum dingu ahi,” ati.
32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all the members of his house.
Hiti chun ama le a insung mite to Pathen thu aseikhom tauvin ahi.
33 And the same hour of the night, he took and washed them from their stripes; and he was baptized immediately, he and all the members of his house.
Chuin hiche ni jan ma ma chun songkul ngahpa chun akijepna maha lhon chu asop theng peh lhon in, chuin a insung mite jouse toh baptize achang tauvin ahi.
34 And he took them and brought them into his house, and set a table for them; and he rejoiced in the faith of God, he and all the members of his house.
Hiti chun amani ding chun a insunga ankong aluidoh peh un Pathen atahsan jeh-u chun ainkouvin akipah lheh jengun ahi.
35 And when it was morning, the prefects sent rod-bearers to say to the superior of the prison: Let those men loose.
Ajing jingkah in khopi vaihom ho chun songkul ngahpa henga, “Hiche mite chu soldoh in!” atiuvin ahi.
36 And when the superior of the prison heard it, he went in, and said the same thing to Paul; namely, that the prefects have sent word that ye be set free. And now, said he, Go ye out, and depart in peace.
Chuin songkul ngahpa chun Paul hengah aseiyin, “Khopi vaihom hon nang le Silas soldoh tan atiuvin ahi, hijeh chun lungmong in che hon tan,” ati.
37 But Paul said to him: They have scourged us, unoffending men, and Romans, before all the world, and have cast us into prison; and now, do they secretly let us out? No, surely: but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Ahivang in Paul in adonbut in, “Keini hi Rome mi kahi lhon in kholtoh louva mipi angsunga eivoh'u ahin, guhthima eisoldoh got'u chu hithei lou ding ahi. Hijeh chun amaho tah hungu henlang eisoldoh'u hen,” ati.
38 And the rod-bearers went and told to the prefects the words which were told to them: and when they heard that they were Romans, they were afraid,
Chuin hiche thu chu khopi vaihom hon ajah doh uva Paul le Silas chu Rome mi ahi ahet doh phat un,
39 and came to them, and entreated of them that they would come out, and that they would leave the city.
Songkul'a ahungun amani koma chun ngaidam athum tauvin ahi. Chujouvin amani chu apuidoh uvin khopi sung dalha hon tan tin ataovun ahi.
40 And when they came out from the prison, they entered the house of Lydia; and there they saw the brethren, and comforted them, and departed.
Chuin Paul le Silas chu songkul'a kona ahung potdoh lhon phat in Lydia in'ah akile kit lhon in hiche in a seijui ho chu atilkhou lhonin chuin amanin khopi chu adalha lhon tan ahi.
