Acts 16
1 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman who was a Jewess, and believed, but his father [was] a Greek.
Pawluh ja Tilah cun Derbe ja Luhtarah citki xawi; acua Timoti ngming naki khritjan mat veki; ani cun jumeikia Judah nghnumia cakpaa kyaki, a pa cun Krika kyaki;
2 Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Ani cun Luhtarah ja Ikoniha vekie naw jumeiki ti lü ania mawng cun pyenkie.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those quarters: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Pawluh naw ani cun ami hlawnga ami cehpüi vai a täng. Acunüng, acua vekiea Judahea phäha, a vun a mawihsak, a pa Krika kyaki tia ami van naw ami ksinga phäha kyaki.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep that were ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Mlüh naküt üng cit hü ni lü, Jerusalema angvaie ja ngsä he naw ami mkhyaha jah läklam vaie cun jumeikie üng ani jah mtheh.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Sangcime cun jumnak üng khäng u lü a mhnüp tä se nung law dämdämkie.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia;
Ngmüimkhya Ngcim naw Asah hne ngthu sang vai am ti se, Pharikih hne ja Kalatih hne avan üng cit hüki xawi.
7 After they had come to Mysia, they essayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Mutih ng'yü pei ani pha law ja, Bithunih hnea lut khai xawia büki xawi, acunsepi, Jesuha Ngmüimkhya naw am a jah cehsak.
8 And they, passing by Mysia, came down to Troas.
Mutih khe ni lü, Taros da citki xawi.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Mthana Pawluh naw mdannak üng Maketawniha khawa ka khyang mat ngdüi lü, “Maketawniha khawa law lü, jah kpüi lawa” tia, nghui na se a hmuh.
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering, that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
Acuna mdannak a hmuh law päng ja, ami veia thangkdaw pyen khaia Pamhnam naw jah khüki tia ksing ni lü, Maketawniha hnea ceh vaia kami ngtünki.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis;
Taros üngkhyüh mlawng am cit u lü, Samotarat kami citki, angawi üng Nepoliha kami cit be tüki;
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, [and] a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
Acun üngka naw Philipih mlüha kami citki, acuna mlüh cun Maketawniha khaw üng mlüh mata kya lü, Romah mlüh ktung üngkaa kyaki. Acuna khaw üng khawvei kami veki.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who resorted [thither].
Sabbath mhnüp üng, khaw kpunga cit u lü, tui caye da, Judahea ktaiyünaka hnüna vekia kami ngaih. Acua ngaw lü, ngbäm lawki hea nghnumie veia ngthu kami pyenki.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Acunüng, Lidia ngming naki, jihsen jawiki, Tuhtirah khawa ka, Pamhnam jumkia nghnumi mat naw kami ngthu ngja lü, Pawluha ngthu pyen cun aktäa ngai khaia Bawipa naw a mlung a mhmawng.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]: And she constrained us.
A im khyawng avan naw Baptican ami khan law päng üng, “Bawipa jumei kcangkia nami na ngaih üng ka ima kai law ua” tia, jah nghui na lü a jah mtheh.
16 And it came to pass as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination, met us, who brought her masters much gain by sooth-saying:
Mhnüp at üng ktaiyünaka hnüna kami ceh k'um üng, mpya nghnumica mat malam pyen lü ngjoki kami khyum. Acuna nghnumica cun Ngmüimkhya kse naw a mahpa phäh malam pyen lü ngui khawh yahki.
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who show to us the way of salvation.
Acun naw Pawluh ja keimi jah läk law lü, “Hina küikyannaka lam ning ja mtheh lawki he cän hlüngsäihki Pamhnama mpyae ni” ti lü, ngpyangki.
18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
Acukba khaw mhnüp khawvei veki. Acukba kyase Pawluh naw am ngja law hlü lü, nghlat sihki naw, Ngmüimkhya kse üng, “Jesuh Khritawa ngming am ka ning mthehki, a k'um üngka naw lut law” a ti ja lut lawki.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew [them] into the market-place to the rulers,
Acunüng, a mahpae naw, ami ngui suinak päihki tia ksing law u lü, Pawluh ja Tilah jah man u lü, khyang ngkhämnak, angvaiea veia ami jah cehpüi.
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Romah Bawiea veia ja cehpüi u lü, “Hi xawi hin Judah khyang xawia kyaki xawi, kami mlüh jah khuimkha lawki xawi,
21 And teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Ami naw mi thum kpetki thumcam jah mtheikie. Mimi cun Romah khyanga mi kyaki. Amimia bilawh cun am mi läk dat vaia thum pyeni xawi” ami ti.
22 And the multitude rose together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them].
Acunüng khyange cun Pawluh ja Tilah jah pawh khaiea ngkhäm law hngakie, bawie naw ani kcu ja suisak u lü, cung am jah kpai vaia ngthu ami jah pet.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Khawvei ami jah kpai päng lü, thawngima ja khyumkie naw, thawng ngvai naw ngängki am, üp ye khaia a ngäng vaia ami jah mtheh.
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Acukba mtheh u se, thawngim ngvai naw, thawngima ak'um säisäiha ja khyumki naw, ani khaw cun khyaw üng a jah khun.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Acunsepi, Pawluh ja Tilah cun, mthana Pamhnama veia ktaiyü ni lü, ng’äi mcuk ni se, thawngim üng kyum hngakie naw ami jah ngaih.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Angxita ngkhyü ngsün law se, thawngima hnün pi ngsün lawki; acunüng, ksawh naküt nghmawng law se, khyange ami jah khihnake cun ngsutei law päihkie.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
Thawng ngvai cun a ihnak üngkhyüh tho lawki, thawngim ksawhe nghmawng u se jah hmu lü, thawng kyume dawng päikiea ngai lü, a kcim lo lü hnimei khaia ngtängki.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Acunsepi, Pawluh naw, ngpyang lü, “Käh thawna; kami van hia kami veki ni” a ti.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas;
Thawng ngvai naw meikdäi akjanga jah kthäh lü, kyühei lü ngkhyet lü, Pawluh ja Tilaha hmaia kawpki.
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Kpunga jah cehpüi lü, “Saja xawi aw, küikyannak ka yah vaia i ka pawh khai?” a ti.
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Ani xawi naw, “Bawipa Jesuh jumeia, acunüng, namät ja na khuiim khyawng lawnge maha küikyannak nami yah khai” ani ti.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Acunüng, a veia ja, a ima vekie naküta veia Bawipaa ngthu ani pyen.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
Acuna mthan, acun naji üng jah cehpüi lü, ami jah kpainaka ani nghmae cun a jah mthih pet; acunüng, amät ja a khuiim khyawng lawng ami ngkhä Baptican khankie.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
A ima ja cehpüiki naw, jah khin na lü, Pamhnam ami jumei lawa phäha, amät cun a khuiim khyawng lawng ami van am aktäa jekie.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.
Khaw a thaih law ja, Romah bawie naw, “Acun xawi jah khyah ua” tia, jee ami jah tüih.
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
Acunüng, thawng ngvai naw, Pawluha veia, “Bawie naw, ning ja hlät khaiea, khyang jah tüi lawki he ni; acunakyase, atuh lut law ni lü, dim’yenak am cit nia” a ti.
37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast [us] into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? no verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Acunsepi, Pawluh naw, “Romah khyanga kami kyaki, kami mkhyenak am ve xaki ami jah kpai u, thawngim üng ami jah khyum; atuh anghmüa jah ktäm khaiea bükie aw? Acukba am kya sawxat khai; amimät Romah ngvaie law u lü, jah hlät law u se” tia, je ngvai ani jah mtheh.
38 And the sergeants told these words to the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans.
Je ngvai naw, acuna ngthu cun Romah ngvaie ami jah mtheh; acunüng, Romah khyanga kyaki xawi tia jah ksing law u lü, kyühei lawki he naw;
39 And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city.
va cit u lü, ja mcäikie naw, jah nghui na be u lü, thawng üngka naw jah hlät u lü mlüh cun ani cehtak vaia ami jah mtheh.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Acunüng, thawngim üngka naw lut law ni lü, Lidia ima citki xawi; jumeikie jah hmu ni lü, jah dim’yesak ni lü, cit beki xawi.
