Acts 28
1 When we were brought safely through, we learned that the island was called Malta.
Amate a suatak zawk uh ciang in, tua tuikul sia Melita kici hi, ci he uh hi.
2 The native people offered to us not just ordinary kindness, but they lit a fire and welcomed us all, because of the constant rain and cold.
Ngua hong zu a, khuasik mama ahikom in mimawl te in mei hong tawsak uh a, ka vekpi in hong sang in, kote tung ah hong phatvawt mama uh hi.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened onto his hand.
Taciang Paul in thing lomkhat hong toai in, meisung ah a bumsuk ciang, sa ahikom in ngul khat hong pusuak a, Paul i khut tung ah hong ki vial hi.
4 When the native people saw the animal hanging from his hand, they said one to another, “This man certainly is a murderer who escaped from the sea, yet justice does not permit him to live.”
Taciang mimawl te in Paul i khut ah a ngu hang mama ngulpui in pomci a mu uh ciang in, hisia pa sia tualthat hi nanak tu hi, tuipi sung pan suakta napi, phulakna in nungtasak tuan ngawl hi, ci in amate kikum uh hi.
5 But then he shook the animal into the fire and suffered no harm.
Taciang Paul in tua nganhing sia meisung ah thing a, bangma tat ngawl hi.
6 They were waiting for him to become inflamed with a fever or to suddenly drop dead. But after they watched him for a long time and saw that nothing was unusual with him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
Ahihang amate in banghun ciang hong tumkeak tam maw, a hibale, banghun ciang upmawk ngawlpi, puk in a thi tam maw, ci in encik uh hi: ahihang hun saupi sung a etcik zawk uh ciang in, bangma a phatmawk ngawl ciang, amate in a ngaisutna uh khealkik a, hisia pa sia pathian hi, ci uh hi.
7 Now in a nearby place there were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, a man named Publius. He welcomed us and kindly provided for us for three days.
Tua mun ah tuikul ukpa in lo ngam nei a, tua pa min sia Publius kici hi; ama in phatak in hong sang a, ni thum sung hong taamsak hi.
8 It happened that the father of Publius had been made ill with a fever and dysentery. When Paul went to him, he prayed, placed his hands on him, and healed him.
Taciang in, Publius i pa sia cisa natna le ngilsan vei in lum hi: Paul a kung ah pai a, thungen in a tung ah khut nga a, damsak hi.
9 After this happened, the rest of the people on the island who were sick also came and were healed.
Tua ahikom hibang a vawt zawkciang in, tuikul sung a natna nei theampo zong hongpai uh a, dam uh hi:
10 The people also honored us with many honors. When we were preparing to sail, they gave us what we needed.
Amate in letsong tam mama hongpia uh a, ka din uh ciang in ka kisap uh na tampi tembaw tung ah hong koisak uh hi.
11 After three months we set sail in an ship that had spent the winter at the island, a ship of Alexandria, with “the twin gods” as it figurehead.
Tha thum zawkciang phalbi sung theampo tuikul ah ka om uh a, Castor le Pollux ci khiakna nei Alexandria tembaw taw ka pai uh hi.
12 After we landed at the city of Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Syracuse ah ka tawlnga uh a, tua mun ah ni thum sung ka om uh hi.
13 From there we sailed and arrived at the city of Rhegium. After one day a south wind sprang up, and in two days we came to the city of Puteoli.
Tua mun pan pusuak in ka kiimveal uh a, Rhegium ka theng uh hi: taciang ni khat zawkciang in, thangsang pan hui hong va ahikom, a zingciang in Puteoli ka theng uh hi:
14 There we found some brothers and were invited to stay with them for seven days. In this way we came to Rome.
Tua mun ah suapui te ka mu uh a, amate in ni sali om tu in hong ngen uh hi: tabang in Rome sang ah ka pai uh hi.
15 From there the brothers, after they heard about us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw the brothers, he thanked God and took courage.
Rome a om suapui te in ka thu a zak uh ciang in, koma muak tu in Appii vanzuak na le zintun inn thum kici na pan in hongpai uh hi: taciang Paul in amate a mu ciang in, Pathian pok a, thinnuam in om uh hi.
16 When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.
Rome ka thet uh ciang in, zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa in thongtak te sia thonginn cing topa kung ah ap hi: ahihang Paul sia ama nguak in a cingtu ngalkap khat taw omsak hi.
17 Then it came about that after three days Paul called together those men who were the leaders among the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing wrong against the people or the customs of our fathers, I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
Ni thum zawkciang in, Paul in Judah makai te munkhat ah kaikhawm a: hongpai uh ciang in, amate tung ah, u le nau te awng, mite le ka pu le pa te ngeina langpan in ka vawt na bangma om ngawl hi napi, Jerusalem pan in thongtak tu in Rome mite khut sung ah hong ap uh hi.
18 After they questioned me, they wished to set me free, because there was no reason in me for a death penalty.
Thu hong dong uh a, thi na tak mawna bangma vawt ngawl ci mu a hi uh man in, Rome mite in hong suatak nuam uh hi.
19 But when the Jews spoke against their desire, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, although it is not as if I were bringing any accusation against my nation.
Ahihang Judah mite in a nial uh ciang in, ka mipui te ka mawsak tu hi ngawl napi, Caesar kung ah thusungkik ngawl in suak thei nawn ngawl hi.
20 Because of my appeal, then, I have asked to see you and to speak with you. It is because of the certain hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
Tua ahikom, hi thu hang in noma taw kimu tu le paupui tu in hong sam ka hihi: Israel te lametna atu in thikkol thak ka thuak hi, ci hi.
21 Then they said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea about you, nor did any of the brothers come and report or say anything bad about you.
Taciang amate in Paul tung ah, nangma taw kisai in Judah ngam pan laithak nga ngawl khu hi, taciang suapui te sung pan in hongpai uh a na phatngawlna thu a son khat zong om ngawl hi.
22 But we want to hear from you what you think about this sect, because it is known by us that it is spoken against everywhere.”
Ahihang na ngaisutna ka za nuam uh hi: banghangziam cile hite pawl te thu taw kisai in, mun tatuam ah midang langpan in kampau hi, ci ka he uh hi, ci uh hi.
23 When they had set a day for him, more people came to him at his dwelling place. He presented the matter to them, and testified about the kingdom of God. He tried to persuade them about Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
Taciang amate in Pual sia nikhat a ciangtansak zawk uh ciang in, a tunna ah mi tampi hongpai uh a; tua te tung ah Pathian kumpingam thu tettipang in hilcian hi, Moses thukham le kamsang laibu te sung pan in Jesus thu taw kisai in zingpan kipan nitak sang dong hanthotna nei uh hi.
24 Some were convinced about the things which were said, while others did not believe.
Taciang a son thu te sia mi pawlkhat te in um uh a, pawlkhat te in a um bua uh hi.
25 When they did not agree with one another, they left after Paul had spoken this one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers.
Ama te sung ah a thu uh a kisik ngawl ciang in, pai uh a, tua zawkciang in Paul in thu khat son hi, Tha Thiangtho in kamsang Isaiah tungtawn in i pu le pa te tung ah,
26 He said, 'Go to this people and say, “By hearing you will hear, but not understand; and seeing you will see, but will not perceive.
Hi mite tung ah pai tan a, son in, a zak in za napi, na tel bua uh hi; a mu in mu napi, na tel thei tuan bua uh hi:
27 For the heart of this people has become dull, and with their ears they hardly hear, and they have shut their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn again, and I would heal them.”'
Banghangziam cile, hi minam te sia a mit uh te khua mu ngawl, a bil uh te khua za ngawl, a thinsung in bangma tel thiam ngawl in a nuntak dan te zong ki kheal ngawl uh ahikom in, a natna uh te zong ka damsak ngawl dong in amate sia a thin uh puilei a, a bil uh te in khua za hak bek dom ngawl a mit uh te zong thi siat hi, ci in a mantak in son hi.
28 Therefore, you should know that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen.”
Tua ahikom Pathian i ngupna sia Gentile mite tung ah puak zo a, amate in tua thu ngai tu uh hi, ci in kong phawksak hi, ci hi.
Paul in hi thu te a son zawkciang in, Judah mite pai uh a, amate sung ah nasiatak in thu kikum uh hi.
30 Paul lived for two whole years in his own rented house, and he welcomed all who came to him.
Paul sia a sap tawm inn ah kum ni sung om hi, taciang a kung ah hongpai theampo sang a,
31 He was proclaiming the kingdom of God and was teaching the things about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness. No one stopped him.
Pathian kumpingam thupha hil le Topa Jesus Christ taw kisai thu te hangsantak in hil a, kuama in kham ngawl hi.
