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.
Paul sia Derbe le Lystra theng uh hi: taciang, en vun, nungzui khat om a, a min sia Timothy kici hi, a nu sia Judah mi hi a, thu um mi a hihi; ahihang a pa sia Greek mi a hihi:
2 Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Lystra le Iconium a om suapui te in Timothy sia phatson mama uh hi.
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.
Timothy sia Paul in tonpui nuam ahikom in a vunteap tansak hi, banghangziam cile tua kiim a om Judah mite theampo in a pa sia Greek mi hi, ci he uh hi.
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.
Jerusalem ah sawltak te le upa te in zui tu in a khensat na thu sia, amate pai na khua tatuam ah ap uh hi.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Tua ahikom pawlpi te upna sung ah kho uh a, nisim in khang uh hi.
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;
Tu in amate Phrygia le Galatia ngamsung ah pai uh a a kantan zawk uh ciang in, Tha Thiangtho in Asia ngam ah Pathian thuhil tu in hong khak hi,
7 After they had come to Mysia, they essayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Mysia ngam a thet zawk uh ciang in, Bithynia ngamsung ah paisawm uh hi: ahihang Thaa in a pai tu uh oai ngawl hi.
8 And they, passing by Mysia, came down to Troas.
Taciang amate Mysia ngam kantan uh a, Troas theng uh hi.
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.
Tua zan in Paul in mangmu hi; Macedonia mi khat ding a, Macedonia ah hongpai tan a, hong hu tan, ci in ngen hi.
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.
Paul in mang a mu zawkpo ciang in, Macedonia ah lungdamna thupha tangko tu in Topa in hong sam hi, ci thiangtak in tel ka hi uhkom, pai tu in ka hanciam uh hi.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis;
Tua ahikom Troas pan in ngunkuang taw ka pai uh a, Samotracia ah a tangtan in ka pai uh hi, taciang a zingciang in Neapolis ka theng uh hi;
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.
Tua mun pan in Macedonia ngamkhen sung pan khuapi lianbel Philippi ka theng uh hi, Philippi khua sia Rome te in ngamkeak in ukna ngam a hihi: tua khuapi sung ah tawlkhat sung ka om uh hi.
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 ni in ngunhui khuapi ah ka pai uh hi, thunget na mun ah ka to uh a, hongpai numei te ka paupui uh hi.
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.
Taciang Lydia a kici Thyatira khua mi, puan sandup a zuak numei khat om a, ama sia Pathian bia khat a hihi: ama in Paul i thuhilna te ngai tu in Topa in a thinsung honsak hi.
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.
Ama le a innkuanpui te tui a ki phum zawk uh ciang in, Topa tung ah muantak hi, ci in nong mu uh ahile, ka inn ah hongpai tavun a, taam tavun, ci in hong sam a, hong thum hi.
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:
Thungen tu ka pai uh ciang in, a sung ah maisang thu sonkhol theina thaa nei a, a to te atu in dangka tampi a ngasak naseam numei no in hong muak hi:
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.
Ama in Paul le kote nung pan in hongzui a, hi mite sia ngupna lampi hong lak tu a sangbel Pathian i sal te a hi uh hi, ci in au hi.
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.
Taciang ama in hibang in ni tampi sung vawt hi. Ahihang Paul sia a thin-uk in le-et a, tua thaa kung ah, Jesus Christ min taw hi numei sung pan pusuak tu in thu kong pia hi, ci hi. Tuahun laitak lian in pusuak hi.
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,
A to te in dangka tampi nga natu lametna om nawn ngawl hi, ci a mu uh ciang in Paul le Silas te man uh a, thukhen zum ulian te kung ah kai uh hi.
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Taciang ulian te kung ah paipui a, hi Judah mite in i khuapi nasiatak in buaisak hi,
21 And teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Ko Rome mite in ka san thei ngawl uh le ka zui ngawl uh ngeina te hil hi, ci uh hi.
22 And the multitude rose together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them].
Taciang mihonpi te hong ding tek in: ulian te in zong a puan uh eaukeaksak uh a, Paul le Silas te vel tu in thupia uh hi.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Amate in nasiatak in a sat zawk uh ciang in, thonginn sung ah khia uh a, thong cing pa in phatak a cin natu in vaitha hi:
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Thu a vaithak thonginn cingpa in, thonginn doi sung ah khumsuk a, a peang te peangkol bul in koi hi.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Zan laitak in Paul le Silas sia thungen uh a, Pathian pok na lasa khawm uh hi: taciang thongtak te in za uh hi.
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.
Thakhatthu in zin nasiatak hong ling a, thong innbul te ki lok hi: tasia pociang in kongkha te a vekpi in ki hong siat a, a ki hen na uh theampo zong ki sut siat hi.
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.
Thongcingpa hong khanglo a, kongkha te a ki hong a mu ciang in, thongtak te taisiat zo sa a, a namsau dok in, ama le ama ki tha sawm hi.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Ahihang Paul ngingtak in au a, nangma le nangma ki vawtsia heak in: banghangziam cile ka vekpi in hi mun ah ka om nginge uh hi, ci hi.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas;
Tua zawkciang in thongcingpa in mei ngen a, hong bingbung hi, taciang ling vadil kawm in hongpai a, Paul le Silas te mai ah bok hi,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Taciang amate pusua a, ka topa te awng, ngupna nga natu in bang ka vawt tu ziam? ci hi.
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Amate in, Topa Jesus Christ um in a, nangma le na innkuanpui te ngupna na nga tu uh hi, ci uh hi.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Taciang Paul le Silas te in amate a innsung a om te theampo tung ah Topa thuhil uh hi.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
Tua zan in thongcingpa in amate pusua a, a liamma uh te silsak hi; taciang ama le a innkuanpui theampo tui ki phum pai uh hi.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Saul le Silas sia ama inn ah ciapui a, amate mai ah anlui hi, taciang ama le a innkuanpui theampo in Pathian um uh a, lungdam mama uh hi.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.
A zingciang in, ulian te in palik mang te sawl a, tua mihing te pusua vun, ci hi.
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.
Taciang thongcingpa in Paul kung ah, ulian te in note sam tu in mi sawl hi; tua ahikom tu in pusuak vun a, thinnuamtak in pai vun, ci hi.
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.
Ahihang Paul in amate tung ah, kote sia Rome ngammi ka hi uh hi, mawsiatna om ngawlpi kilangtak in hong sat a, thong hong taksak hi; tu in kuama heak ngawl in hong hawlkhia nuam ziam? hi thei ngawl hi; ahihang amate hongpai ta hen a hong suatak tahen, ci hi.
38 And the sergeants told these words to the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans.
Taciang palik mang te in hi thu a ulian te kung ah son uh hi: taciang amate sia Rome ngam mi hi, ci a zak uh ciang in, ulian te patau mama hi.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city.
Taciang amate hongpai uh a, Paul te thum uh hi, taciang suatak uh a, tua khuapi sung pan pusuak tu in sawl uh hi.
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.
Amate sia thong sung pan pusuak uh ah, Lydia te innsung ah tum uh hi: taciang suapui te a mu uh ciang in heneam uh a, paikik uh hi.
