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.
Hathnukkhu hoi Pawl teh Derbi kho hoi Lustra kho a pha. Listra kho dawk Timote telah a min poe e a hnukkâbang buet touh ao. Ahnie a manu teh ka yuem e Judah tami napui buet touh doeh, a na pa teh Grik tami doeh.
2 And all the disciples of Lystra and Iconium gave good testimony of him.
Ahni teh Listra lahoi, Ikonium kho dawk kaawm e hmaunawnghanaw thung bari kamcu e lah ao.
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.
Pawl ni Timote hrawi hanelah a ngai. Ahnie a na pa Jentel tami tie hote hmuen koe kaawm e Judah tami pueng ni a panue awh dawk vuensom a a pouh awh.
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.
Ahnimouh teh khopuinaw koe yuengyoe a cei awh navah, Jerusalem kho dawk kaawm e gunceinaw hoi pastornaw lawk a poe e naw hah kayuemnaw tarawi hanelah a poe awh.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and were increased in number daily.
Hottelah kawhmounnaw teh yuemnae dawk kacaklah ao teh, hnin touh hnukkhu hnin touh a pung awh.
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.
Frigia ram, Galati ram lah a cei awh hnukkhu Asia ram dawk lawkkatang hah dei hoeh hanelah Kathoung Muitha ni a ngang dawkvah,
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.
Misia ram lah a pha awh teh, Bitunia ram lah cei han ati awh navah, Muitha ni kâ a poe hoeh dawkvah,
8 And when they departed from Mysia, they came down to the region of Troas.
Misia ram a tengpam a cei awh teh, Troas kho a pha awh.
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.
Tangmin vah Pawl koe vision a kamnue. Masidonia tami buet touh ni a kangdue teh, Masidonia ram lah raka nateh, kaimouh na kabawm haw telah a kâhei.
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.
Hote vision a hmu nah, Masidonia ram dawk kamthang kahawi dei sak hanelah Bawipa ni kaimouh na kaw awh toe telah hnâ ka bo awh teh, hote ram koe lah cei hanelah tang ka kâcai awh.
11 And we sailed from Troas, and came direct to Samothrace; and from there, on the following day, we came to the city Neapolis.
Hatdawkvah, Troas kho hoi long hoi ka cei awh teh Samotaret tuilum koe lah kuekluek ka cei awh teh, a tangtho vah Neapolis khovah ka pha awh.
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.
Hote kho dawk hoi bout ka tâco awh teh Masidonia ram thung kaawm e Filippi khopui ka pha awh teh dongdeng hnin ka saw lah ka o awh.
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.
Sabbath hnin vah kaimouh kho alawilah ka tâco awh teh ratoumnae hmuen ao han mue telah ka pouk awh teh tuipui rai lah ka cei awh. Hote hmuen koe ka tahung awh teh napuinaw hanlah ka dei pouh awh.
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.
Hatnavah hnipaling kâyawt e Tiatira kho e Lidia telah a kaw awh e napui, Cathut ka bawk e buet touh ao. Pawl ni a dei e phung lawk hah sairasuepcalah a thai nahan Cathut ni a lungthin tho a paawng pouh.
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.
Hote napui teh a imthungkhunaw hoi Baptisma a coe hnukkhu, kai hah Bawipa koe yuemkamcu e tami lah na pouk awh pawiteh, kai im kâen nateh awm awh ei telah a kâhei teh kaimanaw koe na dei pouh awh.
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.
Hathnukkhu hoi kaimouh teh ratoumnae im koe ka cei awh navah hmalah han ka dei thai e, a thung kahrai kaawm e napui hoi ka kâhmo awh. Hote napui teh amae a bawipanaw hane ahawinae moi ka sak e lah ao.
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.
Hote napui ca teh Pawl hoi kaimae hnuklah a kâbang teh ahnimouh teh kalenpounge Cathut e kamthang lawk rungngangnae lawk ka dei e doeh telah a hram.
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.
Hottelah, napuica ni a ngelawn dawkvah, Pawl ni a kamlang sin teh Jisuh Khrih min lahoi nang teh tâcawt telah kâ na poe. Hat nah tahma vah a thung hoi kahrai teh tang a tâco toe.
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,
Ahnie bawinaw ni a bawireng thai nahanelah ngaihawinae awmhoeh toe tie a panue torei teh Pawl hoi Silas hah a man awh teh khobawinaw koe a thak awh.
20 and set them before the prefects and chiefs of the city, and said: These men disturb our city; for they are Jews,
Khobawinaw koe a pha roi toteh hetnaw hah Judah taminaw law pawiteh maimae khopui rucat a poe awh.
21 and they preach to us customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and to practise, because we are Romans.
Rom tami lah kaawm e maimanaw ni yuem hoeh han e, tawk hoeh hane phunglawknaw a cangkhai awh telah ati awh.
22 And a great company was collected against them. Then the prefects rent their garments, and commanded to scourge them.
Kamkhueng e taminaw ni ahnimouh koe lah tang a kampangkhai awh teh Pawl hoi Silas hah a taran awh. Khobawinaw ni ahnimae angki a rading pouh teh ruitaboung hoi hem sak hanelah kâ a poe.
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.
A hem awh teh, hmâtan a ca awh. Kahawicalah ring awh telah thongim kaukkung koe kâ a poe teh thongim thung a paung awh.
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.
Hottelah lawkthui e patetlah thongim kaukkung ni thongim thung a paen teh a khok hlong a buet pouh awh.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and glorifying God: and the prisoners heard them.
Karumsaning Pawl hoi Silas teh Cathut koe ratoum laihoi Cathut a pholen roi. Thongim ka bawt e naw ni hai a thai pouh awh.
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.
Pouk laipalah Tâlî puenghoi a no dawkvah thongim a kâhuet. Takhangnaw koung a kamawng. Thongkabawtnaw pâkhinae sumrui pueng pak a ca pouh.
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.
Thongim kaukkung a kâhlaw teh thongim takhangnaw a kamawng e a hmu navah thongim kamungnaw koung a yawng awh mue toe telah a pouk dawkvah tahloi hoi amahoima kâthei hanelah a kâcai.
28 But Paul called to him, in a loud voice, and said: Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Hatei Pawl niyah namahoima runae kâpoe hanh, kaimanaw hete hmuen koe be ka o awh telah kacaipounglah a dei pouh.
29 And he lighted for himself a lamp, and sprang and came in, trembling, and fell at the feet of Paul and Silas.
Hattoteh thongim a kaukkung ni hmaito hoi yawng laihoi a kâen teh Pawl hoi Silas e hmalah pâyaw laihoi a tabo.
30 And he brought them out, and said to them: My lords, what must I do, that I may have life?
Hathnukkhu ahnimouh roi alawilah a tâcokhai teh ka bawipa, rungngang lah o thai nahanlah bangmaw ka sak han ti teh a pacei.
31 And they said to him: Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and thou wilt have life, thou and thy house.
Ahnimouh roi ni Bawipa Jisuh Khrih hah yuem haw. Hottelah na yuem pawiteh nama hoi na imthungnaw rungngang lah na o awh han atipouh roi.
32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all the members of his house.
Hathnukkhu ama hoi a imthungkhu dawk kaawm e naw pueng koe Bawipa e lawk hah a dei pouh roi.
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.
Thongim kaukkung ni hatnae tangmin vah ahnimanaw hah a hrawi teh, a hmâtannaw tâsi a hluk pouh. Hathnukkhu ama hoi a imthungkhu naw abuemlah baptisma koung a coe awh.
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.
Ahni ni Pawl hoi Silas hah ama im a kaw teh, rawca a pacapanei teh, imthung abuemlahoi Cathut a yuem awh dawkvah a konawm awh.
35 And when it was morning, the prefects sent rod-bearers to say to the superior of the prison: Let those men loose.
Khodai toteh khobawinaw ni, ram karingkungnaw a patoun teh, ahnimanaw hah tha awh leih atipouh awh.
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.
Hatnavah thongim kaukkung ni hote kamthang hah Pawl koe a dei pouh. Khobawinaw ni tami a patoun awh teh, nangmanaw hah tha hanelah lawk na thui awh. Hatdawkvah, atu tâcawt awh nateh lungmawngcalah cet awh lawih atipouh.
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.
Hatei Pawl ni ram ka ring e naw koe Rom tami lah kaawm e kaimanaw hah akungkhei laipalah taminaw hmalah na hem awh teh, thongim thung na paung awh hnukkhu, atu kaimanaw hah arulahoi maw na tha awh han vaw. Hottelah ti kawi na maw. Amamouh kuekluek tho awh naseh, kaimouh na rasat awh naseh atipouh
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,
Hattoteh ram karingkungnaw ni hote lawknaw hah khobawinaw koe a dei pouh awh. Ahnimouh roi teh Rom tami roi doeh tie a panue awh torei teh, a taki awh dawkvah,
39 and came to them, and entreated of them that they would come out, and that they would leave the city.
amamouh kuekluek a tho awh teh a kâhei awh. Hathnukkhu a tâco sak awh teh, hote kho thung hoi tâco hanelah a kâhei awh.
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.
Ahnimouh hai thongim thung hoi a tâco awh toteh, Lidia im a cei awh teh, hmaunawnghanaw hoi a kâhmo awh. Ahnimouh thapoelawknaw a dei pouh hnukkhu alouklah a cei awh.
