Acts 21
1 When we had torn ourselves away and had set sail, we ran before the wind to Cos; the next day we came to Rhodes, and from there to Patara,
Anni ngei le kin insen suole chu rukuong leh kin se pata Cos kin tunga anangtûka Rhodes kin tunga, tuihuol kin tung nôka ma renga hah Patara kin tung nôka.
2 where we found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, and went on board and set sail.
Ma mun han rukuong inkhat Phonicia tienga se rang kin mua, mahan kin chuonga kin se nôk kelena.
3 After sighting Cyprus and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and put into Tyre, where the ship was to discharge her cargo.
Cyprus tuihuol ânlangna mun ten kin va phâk lehan Cyprus hah voi tieng kin mâka Syria tieng kin sea Tyre chu neinun an musum sikin kin chuma.
4 There we found the disciples and stayed a week with them. Speaking under the influence of the Spirit, they warned Paul not to set foot in Jerusalem.
Ma mun han iempungei senkhat kin va mua an kôm sûn sari nikhuo kin châma, anni ngei han Ratha Inthieng rilin Paul hah Jerusalema se loi rangin an khapa.
5 However, when we had come to the end of our visit, we went on our way, all the disciples with their wives and children escorting us out of the city. We knelt down on the beach, and prayed,
Hannirese, sûn sari ahek suole chu ha renga hah kin jôka kin se nôka iempungeiin an lômnungei le an nâingei le tuikôl tena min juong thaka ma mun han khûkinbilin chubai kin thoa.
6 and then said good-bye to one another; after which we went on board, and they returned home.
Masuole chu chonghoiin inkhat le inkhat kin insena rukuonga kin chuonga anni ngei chu in tieng an kîr nôk zoi.
7 After we had made the run from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, and exchanged greetings with the Brethren there, and spent a day with them.
Rukuong leh kin se pata Tyre renga Tolemais kin tunga iempungei chibai kin pêka mahan sûn khat an kôm kin châma.
8 The next day we left, and reached Caesarea, where we went to the house of Philip, the Missionary, who was one of ‘the Seven,’ and stayed with him.
Anangtûka chu kin se nôka Caesarea kin tunga mahan Thurchi Sa misîrpu Philip ina kin tunga, Philip hah Jerusalema sanpu ânthang sari ngei lâia inkhat hah alei ni.
9 He had four unmarried daughters, who had the gift of prophecy.
Ama han nâi dôngmate inneiloi minli a dôna anni ngei han Pathien thurchi an misîr ngâia.
10 During our visit, which lasted several days, a Prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judea.
Mahan sûn tamtak nikhuo kin châma ha nikhuo kin châm sûng han Judea ram renga dêipu a riming Agabus a juonga.
11 He came to see us, and, taking Paul’s girdle, and binding his own feet and hands with it, said: “This is what the Holy Spirit says — ‘The man to whom this girdle belongs will be bound like this at Jerusalem by the Jews, and they will give him up to the Gentiles’.”
Kin kôm a honga Paul a kongkhitngei hah a lâka, a kengei a kutngei athenin a khita masuole chu kin kôm hi anghin a tia, “Jerusalema, Judangei hi anga kongkhit a dônpu tak hi, hi angtak hin khit an ta, Jentailngei kuta an pêk rang ti hi Ratha Inthiengin mi ril sai ke ani,” a tia.
12 When we heard that, we and the people of the place began to entreat Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
Ha thurchi hah kin riet lechu keini le ma khuoa omngei han Paul hah Jerusalema se loi rang kin tipe tita.
13 It was then that Paul made the reply: “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart like this? For my part, I am ready not only to be bound, but even to suffer death at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus.”
Hannirese Paul han kin kôm, “Khoimo nin tho, ma angdôr hih nin chap, ku mulung nin khoi hi? Pumapa Jisua sikin Jerusalema khit rang vai hi kên phal nimaka, thi rang ten khom kên phal ke,” a tia.
14 So, as he would not be persuaded, we said no more to him, only adding — “The Lord’s will be done.”
Methêm theijât ani khâiloi sikin, “Pumapa ti lam tak nirese,” kin tia, kin mojôk zoi.
15 At the end of our visit, we made our preparations, and started on our way up to Jerusalem.
Masuole chu, kin insiema Jerusalem tienga se rangin kin jôk zoi.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, and brought Mnason with them, a Cypriot disciple of long standing, with whom we were to stay.
Caeserea khuo renga ruoisi senkhat ngeiin min jûia, anni ngei lâia mi inkhat a riming Mnason, ruoisi masa ngei lâia mi Cyprus tuihuola om ngâi ama han kin tungna rang ina mi sepui zoi.
17 On our arrival at Jerusalem, the Brethren there gave us a hearty welcome;
Jerusalem kin tungin chu iempungeiin râisântakin min lei dona.
18 and the next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the Officers of the Church were present.
Anangtûka chu Paul'n Jacob ina mi sepuia ma mun han koiindang upangei murdi khom an oma.
19 After greeting them, Paul related in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his efforts;
Anni ngei hah Paul'n chibai a pêk suole chu Pathien'n a ranak a minsila Jentailngei lâia sin a tho lam ngei hah anrêngin a misîr pe ngeia.
20 and, when they had heard it, they began praising God, and said to Paul: “You see, Brother, that the Jews who have become believers in Christ may be numbered by tens of thousands, and they are all naturally earnest in upholding the Jewish Law.
Ha thurchi hah an rietin chu anrêngin Pathien an minpâka, Hanchu Paul kôm, “Sungsuokpa, Judangei lâia iempungei tamlam le Balama an inpêk lam ngei nu mua.
21 Now they have heard it said about you, that you teach all Jews in foreign countries to forsake Moses, for you tell them not to circumcise their children or even to observe Jewish customs.
Nangman Jentailngei rama Juda omngei murdi kôm, Moses balam nûksonga an nâingei sertan khâiloi rang le Juda balam jûi khâiloi rang ni minchu ngâi ti mîn an rila.
22 Well now, as they are certain to hear of your arrival, do what we are going to suggest.
No hong tung ti laka hi an riet ngêt rang ania, kho angin mo ei tho rang?
23 We have four men here, who have of their own accord put themselves under a vow.
Masikin chong nang kin be lam angtakin tho roh, chonginkhâmna lei dôn sai mi pasal minli an oma.
24 Join these men, share their purification, and bear their expenses, so that they may shave their heads; and then all will see that there is no truth in what they have been told about you, but that, on the contrary, you yourself rule your life in obedience to the Jewish Law.
Anni ngei hah tuong inla, an kôm nang khom inthieng inla an sam epna man hah nangman pêk roh, male chu mingei murdi'n nu thurchi an lei misîr ha dik mak ti hong riet thei an tih, nangma ke Moses balam ajûi mindik ti hong riet kelen an tih.
25 As to the Gentiles who have become believers in Christ, we have sent our decision that they should avoid food offered to idols, and blood, and the flesh of strangled animals, and impurity.”
Jentailngei lâia iempungei rangin chu, mirmil biekna sâ inthiengloi ngei, sâ alei thi sai ngei, ha renga athi ngei sâkloi rang le, hur inditna ngei khoma inthieng rang ani tiin lekha'n ei roijêk ei min riet zoi,” an tia.
26 On this, Paul joined the men, and the next day shared their purification, and went into the Temple, and gave notice of the expiration of the period of purification when the usual offering should have been made on behalf of each of them.
Masikin Paul'n anangtûka chu pasal minli ngei hah a tuonga an kôm ama khom ânthienga Pathien Biekina an lûta, inthiengna nikhuo ahek suomân chu inbôlna rang sângei pêk thei ni noni tiin ochai'n a lei ril ira.
27 But, just as the seven days were drawing to a close, the Jews from Roman Asia caught sight of Paul in the Temple, and caused great excitement among all the people present, by seizing Paul and shouting:
Aniatachu sûn sari ahek suo vâng dôrin Asia rama Judangei Paul hah Biekina an mua lokongei an misieta Paul hah an sûra.
28 “Men of Israel! help! This is the man who teaches every one everywhere against our People, our Law, and this Place; and, what is more, he has actually brought Greeks into the Temple and defiled this sacred place.”
An hêtsana, “Israel mingei mi san roi, ma miriem hih ramtina mingei murdi kôm, Israel mingei Moses Balamngei ma Biekin ngei hi a rilminsiet bang ngâipu hah ani, atûn reng hin khom ma Biekina hin Jentailngei a hong tuonga ma Biekin hih a min nim,” an tia.
29 (For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in Paul’s company in the city, and were under the belief that Paul had taken him into the Temple.)
(Ma anga an tina chu moton han khopuilien sûnga Ephesus'a renga Trophimus hah Paul kôm an mua, Biekin sûnga a tuong nîng atih, tiin an iem sikin).
30 The whole city was stirred, and the people quickly collected, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the Temple, when the doors were immediately shut.
A khopuilien pumpui an injêl sabak zoia lokongei hah an tama, Paul ha an sûra Biekin renga an mojôk paia Biekin ngei an khâr kelen zoia.
31 They were bent upon killing him, when it was reported to the Officer commanding the garrison, that all Jerusalem was in commotion.
Paul hah that rang an ti lâitakin Jerusalema mingei murdi an injêl ti Rom râlmi ulientak kôm an hong rila.
32 He instantly got together some officers and men, and charged down upon the crowd, who, when they saw the Commanding Officer and his men, stopped beating Paul.
Masuole chu, râlmi pâl ulientakpu han râlmi ulienngei le râlmingei hah a tuonga lokongei tieng an tân kelena, lokongei han, râlmi ulientak le râlmingei ha an mu lechu Paul an lei jêm hah an inngama.
33 Then he went up to Paul, arrested him, ordered him to be doubly chained, and proceeded to inquire who he was, and what he had been doing.
Hanchu, râlmi ulientak han a kôm a hong nâia, Paul hah a sûra a kuta zingjirûi inik a minbun kelena, masuole chu lokongei kôm han tumo ani le imo a tho minchâi a rekela.
34 Some of the crowd said one thing, and some another; and, as he could get no definite reply on account of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks.
Lokongei an chong inruol khâi maka, pâl dadangin an chong hah ahong om zoia, lokongei an hêtsan rei sikin khoite mindik thei maka Paul hah kulpuia minlût rangin chong a pêka.
35 When Paul reached the steps, he was actually being carried by the soldiers, owing to the violence of the mob;
Paul hah kalbi a phâk vâng dôr an tuonga, lokongei an pût rei sikin râlmingei han a domin an dom paia.
36 for the people were following in a mass, shouting out: “Kill him!”
Lokongei han “That roi” tia hêtsan chungin an jûi ngei bang.
37 Just as he was about to be taken into the Fort, Paul said to the Commanding Officer: “May I speak to you?” “Do you know Greek?” asked the Commanding Officer.
Hanchu, Paul han kulpui an minlût rangto han, râlmi ulientak kôm han “No kôm chong imakhat ti thei ning mo?” a tia. Râlmi ulientak han, “Greek chong ni riet mo?”
38 “Are not you, then, the Egyptian who some time ago raised an insurrection and led the four thousand Bandits out into the Wilderness?”
“Tiena misaloi mi thata isâng minli ramchâr tienga tuong, Egypt mi hah nimak che mo?” a tia.
39 “No,” said Paul, “I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a city of some note; and I beg you to give me permission to speak to the people.”
Paul'n “Juda, Cilicia rama Tarsus khopuiliena suok ki nia, khuo kâm omtak mi ki ni, rangâihoitakin lokongei makunga hin chong thei rangin ni phal roh,” a tia.
40 The Commanding Officer gave his permission, and Paul, standing on the steps, made signs with his hand to the people, and, when comparative silence had been obtained, he spoke to them in Hebrew, as follows:
Male chu râlmi ulientak han chong thei rangin phalna a pêka Paul hah indingna mun han a vândinga, lokongei hah dâirek rangin kut a jâpa lokongei rahang adâi lehan Hebrew chongin a chonga:
