Acts 20
1 After the people at Ephesus had stopped rioting, Paul summoned the believers. He encouraged them [to continue to trust in the Lord Jesus. Soon] after that, he told them goodbye and left to go to Macedonia [province].
Ruengrueng tinae a roum hnukkhu, Pawl ni a hnukkâbangnaw a kaw teh kut a man hnukkhu kadamcalah awm awh titeh Masidonia ram lah a ceitakhai.
2 [After he arrived] there, he visited [each town where there were believers], and encouraged them. Then he arrived in Greece [province], [which is also called Achaia].
Haw e ram thung kaawm e a hnukkâbangnaw thapoe lawk a dei hnukkhu Grik ram a pha.
3 He stayed there for three months. Then he planned to return to Syria by ship, but [he heard that] some of the Jews [SYN] [in that area] were planning to kill him [as he traveled. So] he decided instead to go [by land, and he traveled] again through Macedonia.
Haw e ram thung thapa yung thum touh ao hnukkhu, Siria ram lah long hoi cei han a kâcai nah Judahnaw ni arulahoi padim han ati awh torei teh, Masidonia ram koe lahoi bout ban hane a kâcai.
4 The men who were going to travel with him [to Jerusalem were] Sopater, [who was] a son of Pyrrhus, who grew up in Berea [town]; Aristarchus and Secundus, who were from Thessalonica [city; ] Gaius, [who was] from Derbe [town; ] Timothy, [who was from Galatia province; ] and Tychicus and Trophimus who were from Asia [province].
Pawl hoi cungtalah Berea tami Pirrhas capa Sopater hoi Thesalon tami Aristarkas Sekandus, Derbi tami Gaius hoi Asia tami Timote, Taisikas hoi Trophimus tinaw teh ahni koevah cungtalah a cei awh.
5 Those [seven] men went ahead of [Paul and me, Luke, by ship from Macedonia, so] they got to Troas [before we did and] waited for [the two of] us there.
Hmalah a cei teh Troas kho hoi a ring awh.
6 [But we two(exc) traveled by land as far as] Philippi [city]. After the Jewish festival [when they eat] unleavened bread, we got on a ship [that was going from] the port near [Philippi to Troas city]. After five days we [(exc)] arrived at Troas and we met the other men who had traveled there [ahead of us]. Then we [all] stayed in Troas for seven days.
Tonphuenhoehe vaiyei pawi abaw hnukkhu Filippi kho hoi long hoi a tâco teh hnin panga touh a ro hnukkhu Troas kho a pha awh, Hawvah yat touh ao awh.
7 (On Sunday evening/On the evening of the first day of the week), we [(exc) and the other believers there] gathered together to celebrate the Lord’s Supper [and to eat other food] [SYN]. Paul spoke to the believers. He continued teaching them until midnight, because he was planning to leave [Troas] the next day.
A yat e apasuek hnin vah vaiyei raen hanelah ahnukkâbangnaw a tho awh teh, cungtalah a kamkhueng awh. A tangtho teh Pawl a cei hanelah coungkacoe lah ao toung dawkvah karumsaning totouh a pâpho.
8 Many [oil] lamps were burning in the upstairs room in which we [(exc)] had gathered, [so the fumes caused some people to become sleepy].
Kaimouh ka kamkhuengnae imvan hmaiim moikapap a paang awh.
9 A young man whose name was Eutychus was there. He was seated on [the sill of] an [open] window [on the third story of the house]. As Paul continued talking for a long time, Eutychus became sleepier and sleepier. Finally, he was sound/really asleep. He fell [out of the window] from the third story down [to the ground. Some of the believers went down] immediately and picked him up. [But he was] dead.
A min Utikhas tie thoundoun teh hlalangaw teng a tahung. Muet a i teh Pawl ni kamthang lawk a dei lahun nah imvan hoi talai pou a bo teh a ro lah a rakhun awh.
10 Paul [also] went down. He lay down and stretched out on top of the young man and put his arms around him. Then he said [to the people who were standing around], “Do not worry, he is alive [again now]!”
Pawl ni a kum teh ahnie a tak dawkvah a tabei teh calumcalum tet awh hanh haw, bangkongtetpawiteh a hringnae kâha pout hoeh rah ati teh,
11 Then Paul, [along with the others], went upstairs again and they ate the Lord’s Supper and other food [SYN]. Afterwards, Paul conversed with the believers until dawn. Then he left.
imvan a luen, vaiyei a ca awh teh khodai totouh a pâpho pouh hnukkhu hoi a ceitakhai.
12 The [other] people took the young man [home], and were greatly encouraged because he was alive [again].
Hote bout kahring e thoundoun ca hah a hrawi awh teh, a lungmawng awh.
13 We then went to the ship. Paul did not get on the ship [with us in Troas], because he preferred to go [more quickly] overland to Assos [town]. The rest of us got on the ship and sailed for Assos.
Long koe hmaloe ka cei awh teh, Assos kho koehoi Pawl kâcui sak hanelah ka cei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Pawl teh mon lam lahoi cei hanelah a kâcai teh hottelah lawk a thui dawk doeh.
14 We [(exc)] met Paul in Assos. He got on [the ship] with us, and we sailed to Mitylene [town].
Assos kho dawk kaimouh hoi kâhmo awh toteh long dawk a kâcui van teh Mitilen kho lah ka cei awh.
15 The day after [we reached Mitylene], we [sailed from there and] arrived [at a place] near Kios [Island]. The day after that, we sailed to Samos [Island]. The next day we [left Samos and] sailed to Miletus [town].
Haw hoi ka tâco awh teh a tangtho vah Khios tuilum ka pha awh. A tangtho patuen vah Samos ka pha awh teh a tangtho hnin vah Miletus ka pha awh.
16 [Miletus was just south of Ephesus city]. Paul had [earlier] decided that he would not get on a ship that would stop at Ephesus, because he did not want to spend [several] days in Asia [province]. If possible, he wanted to arrive in Jerusalem by the [time of the] Pentecost festival, [and the time of that festival was near].
Hettelah karang karang cei ngainae teh Asia ram dawk atueng baw sak laipalah Efisa kho ceitakhai hanlah kâcai awh dawk doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, coung thai pawiteh pentikos hnin hoehnahlan Jerusalem vah pha hanelah ka ngai awh dawkvah hettelah karang karang cei ngainae doeh.
17 [When the ship arrived at] Miletus, Paul sent [a messenger] to Ephesus to ask the elders of the congregation to come to talk with him.
Miletus kho a pha hoi Pawl ni Efisa kho lah tami a patoun teh kacuenaw hah a kaw.
18 When the elders arrived, Paul said to them, “You personally know how I [conducted myself among you the entire time] that I was with you, from the first day when I arrived [here] in Asia [province until the day I left].
Ahnimouh a pha toteh Pawl ni, Asia ram ka pha hnin hoi, nangmae hmalah bangtelamaw ka hring tie na panue awh.
19 [You know how] I was serving the Lord [Jesus] very humbly and how I sometimes wept [about people. You also know how] I suffered because the Jews [SYN] [who were not believers often] tried [to harm me].
Kai teh kârahnoumnae, mitphi bonae, hoi Judahnaw ni rucat na poenae thungup hoiyah Bawipa e a thaw hah ka tawk.
20 You also know that, as I preached [God’s message] to you, I never left out anything that would help you. You know that I taught you [God’s message] when many people were present, and I [also went to your] homes and taught it there.
Kai ni nangmouh hanelah hawinae kaawm hane naw hah hnuk kâhnawn laipalah, nangmouh koe ka pâpho teh, taminaw hmalah nakunghai, im touh hnukkhu im touh nakunghai na cangkhai awh teh,
21 I preached both to Jews and to non-Jews, telling them [all] that they must turn away from their sinful behavior. [I also told them they should] believe in our Lord Jesus.”
Cathut hmalah pankângainae hoi maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih yuemnae kongnaw hah, Judahnaw hoi Griknaw hah ka cangkhai.
22 “And now note this: I am going to Jerusalem, because [God’s] Spirit has clearly shown me that I must go there. I do not know what will happen to me [while I am there].
Atuteh muitha lamhrawinae lahoi Jerusalem ka cei han, kho thung bangpatet runae maw kâhmo han ka panuek hoeh.
23 But I do know that in each city [where I have stopped], the Holy Spirit has (told me/[caused the believers to] tell me) that [in Jerusalem] people will put me in prison [PRS] and will cause me to suffer [PRS].
Hat nakunghai runae hoi rektapnae ni sut na ring e hah Kathoung Muitha teh kho tangkuem kai kapanuekkhaikung lah o.
24 But I do not care even if people kill me, if first I am able to finish the work [MET] that the Lord Jesus has told me [to do. He appointed me] to tell people the good message that God [saves us] by doing for us what we do not deserve.
Hatei, ka yawng hane kawi hah a pout totouh ka yawng teh, Cathut lungmanae kamthang kahawi kampangkhai hanelah, Bawipa Jisuh koehoi ka coe e thaw tawknae hah lunghawi laihoi ka cum thai nahanelah awm pawiteh ka hringnae patenghai ka pasai hoeh.
25 I have preached to you the message about how God desires to rule [people’s lives]. But now I know that today is the last time that you fellow believers will see me [SYN].
Atuteh Cathut uknaeram kong ka dei nah nangmanaw ni ka mei bout na hmawt a mahoeh toe tie ka panue.
26 So I want you all to understand that if anyone [who has heard me preach] dies [without trusting in Jesus], it is not my fault [MTY],
Hatdawkvah tami pueng e thi hoi kai kamthoung toe tie sahnin vah nangmouh koe ka pâpho.
27 because I told you [LIT] everything [HYP] that God has planned for us [(inc)].
Lung kâounnae awm laipalah Cathut e pouknae pueng teh nangmouh koe he ka dei toe.
28 [You leaders] must continue to believe and obey [God’s message. You must also help] all the other believers [MET] for whom the Holy Spirit has caused you to be responsible [MTY]. Watch over [MET] yourselves and the other believers [as] a shepherd [watches over his sheep]. God bought them with the blood [that flowed from] his [Son’s body on the cross].
Nangmouh teh namahoima nakunghai, tuhunaw pueng nakunghai, kâhruetcuet laihoi khenyawn awh. Bawipa amae a thi hoi a ran e kawhmoun hah nangmouh ni khetyawt sak hanelah, Kathoung Muitha ni nangmouh teh tukhoumkung lah na rawi awh toe.
29 I know [very well] that after I leave, [people who teach] [MET] [false doctrines] will come among you and will do great harm to the believers. [They will be like] fierce wolves [that kill sheep].
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka yinhnuk nah, ka huencawn e Asuinaw ni tunaw pahrennae tawn laipalah nangmouh thung a kâen han tie ka panue.
30 Even in your own group of believers there will be some who will deceive [other] believers by teaching them messages that are false. They will teach those messages so that some people [will believe them and] will become their followers.
Nangmouh thung e a hnukkâbangnaw hai, ama koe lah sawn hanelah, ceipayonnae ka pâpho e tami a tho awh han.
31 So watch out [that none of you stops believing the true message about our Lord Jesus]. Remember that day and night for [about] three years I repeatedly taught you that message, and warned you with tears [in my eyes not to believe any other message].”
Hatdawkvah tuehmue awh. Kai ni kum thum touh thung karum khodai tami pueng mitphi hoi na cangkhai e pahnim awh hanh.
32 “[Now as I leave you], I ask God to protect you and to keep you believing the message [that he saves us(inc)] by doing for us what we do not deserve. [If you continue believing] the message [that I told you], you will become [spiritually mature], and God will give you the blessings that he has promised to give to all of those who belong to him.
Hmaunawnghanaw, atu kai ni nangmouh Cathut koe na hnawng awh. Nangmouh na roung awh nahan, tami kathoungnaw hoi nangmanaw râw poe hanelah ka tet thai e Cathut e a lungmanae dawk nangmouh na hnawng awh.
33 [As for myself], I have not desired anyone’s money [MTY] or [fine] clothing.
Kai ni api e sui ngun hnopainaw hai ka nôe hoeh.
34 You yourselves know that I have worked [with my hands] [MTY] to earn the money that my companions and I needed.
Hete ka kut hoi kama hoi rei kaawmnaw e pankinae pueng ka tawk tie hah na panue awh toe.
35 In everything that I did, I showed you that we [(inc)] should work hard in order [to have enough money] to give some to those who are needy. We [(inc)] should remember that our Lord Jesus himself said, ‘You are happy when people give you what you need, but God will be happy with you when you give other people what they need.’”
Hottelah panki laihoi ka tawk teh, a thakayounnaw hah kabawp kawi lah ao tie hoi, poenae teh dâwnae hlak yawhawinae ao telah Bawipa Jisuh ama ni a dei e lawk hah na pâkuem awh hanelah ao telah a dei.
36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of the elders and prayed.
Pawl ni a dei hnukkhu khok a cuengkhuem teh ahnimouh hoi cungtalah a ratoum awh.
37 They all cried a lot, and they hugged Paul and kissed him.
Abuemlahoi a khuika awh teh Pawl teh a tapam awh teh a paco awh.
38 They were especially sad because he had said that they would never see him [SYN] again. Then they [all] went with him to the ship.
Ka mei bout na hmawt a mahoeh toe tie Pawl ni a dei e a thai awh dawkvah lungmathoe laihoi Pawl hah long koe totouh a thak awh.
