< 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.
Timothi ngeh ih kristaan mina wasiit Derbe nyia Listra hadaang ni tongta, erah di Pool tumkhoom kata. Heh nuh ah langla Jehudi nok hah ang ano Kristaan eh hoon arah angta, heh wah ah ba Grik nok hah angta.
2 Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Listra nyia Ikonium dowa hanpiite loong ah ih Timothi ah rapne ih seebaat rumta.
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.
Pool ih Timothi waksiit suh chung ano, heh suh khoopkhan banlam ah hoon eh thukta. Pool ih tiim esuh hoon thukta liidi, erah hah adi songtongte loong ah ih jat eta Timothi wah ah Grik nok hah ngeh ah.
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.
Nengnyi samnuh ni tumkhoom kanyuuta adoh, kamwah nyia mihak phokhoh loong ah ih Jerusalem ni tiit thiin rumta neem arang ah kap etheng ngeh ih hanpiite loong suh tumbaat nyuuta.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Erah raangtaan ih chaas mina loong laalom ah rongtangtang ang kano rangwu rookwet miloong ah jaat eh rumta.
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;
Esa Chiiala ih Esia hah ni rangte tiit labaat thuknyu koka no Phrigia nyia Galatia hah ni tumkhoom kanyuuta.
7 After they had come to Mysia, they essayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
Nengnyi Maisia jatlih rit ah thokkhoom nyu ano, Bithinia hah ni nopwang chung nyuuta, enoothong Jisu Chiiala ih tawang thuk nyuuta.
8 And they, passing by Mysia, came down to Troas.
Erah thoidi Maisia hah lam ih daankhoom nyu ano Troos ni wang nyuuta.
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.
Erah rangphe ja Pool ih heh mangphe di Mesidoniate wasiit heh lasih jowang arah japtupta, “Mesidonia hah nah seng chosok ra weeho!” ngeh ah.
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.
Pool ih heh mangphe mangta damdam eh, seng Mesidonia ni dokchap kati, tiimnge liidi, Mesidonia ni ruurang jaase tiit miloong asuh baatkaat suh poon hali ngeh ih roongwaanti.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis;
Troos nawa seng loong ah Samothras lam ih juukaari ni phangla ih daansoon kati, eno erah saalih adi Neopolis ni wangti.
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.
Erah dowa Philippi hani saanghook lam ih wangti, erah langla Mesidonia distrik ni phangdong eta samnuthung ah ang dowa; Room hah ngeh ih uh li eta. Erah di seng rekamdook tong thiinti.
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].
Naangtongsa seng loong ah juure ko samnuthung adi kati, seng ih mok thunti erah nah Jehudi loong rangsoom khoontong theng eje ang ah ngeh ah. Erah di chooktong kah eno minuh loong ah khoontong rumta damdi roongwaan kati.
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.
Neng dung ni seng jeng chaat arah Thaitria hah nawa Lidia ngeh ih nusiit angta, erah nuh ah saanghaam nyuh sangte angta. Heh Rangte rangsoomte ang kano, Pool jengkhaap thaangchaat suh Teesu ih hethung hetak seklilih ang thukta.
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.
Neng jaatang juutem lidi, erah nuh ah ih poon tahe, “Amiisak Teesu suh laalomte ngeh ih thun hali bah nga nok nah jamra han.” Erah nuh ah ih ekaat ih weetheng ngeh ih laat poon tahe.
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:
Saasiit rangsoom thengni kati di, milaksuh jaalasah nusiit chomuiti, erah sah ah chiithih laakhah pan angta eno liwang nah tiimjih angtheng ah erah banbaatte angta. Erah likhiik mi banbaat thoidi heh changte wah asuh ngun rapne ih bi kota.
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.
Eno erah jaalasah ah seng Pool loong ah lilih ih phankhoom haano erongwah ih riiraakta, “Arah wah loong ah bah thoontang nang ih Elong Rangte jeng chaatte! Neng ih sen khopi tiit ah baat halan!”
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.
Erah sah ah saarookwet emamah wootjeng kano Pool ah thungthita, eno lekchap ano chiiala asuh liita, “Jisu Kristo mendoh arah sah sak dowa doksoon ho!” Lakdamdam ih chiiala ah heh sak dowa doksoonta.
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,
Heh changte warah ih bolam bah ngunbi lampo takah jeeka ngeh ih samthun ano, Pool nyia Silas ah joh nyu ano nokwah dung ni thaangsang theng ko elong elang loong reeni hoom kaat nyuuta.
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Room nok hah saahaap loong reeni siitkaat nyu ano baat rumta, “Arah mih anyi Jehudi nok hah, eno anyi ih arah samnuthung adi hah phaangphak nyuuha.
21 And teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Arah nyi ih seng Hootthe lah angka rah nyootsoot nyuuha; seng bah Room mina, erah raangtaan ih erah nyootsoot nyuuha Hootthe ah tami kapke.”
22 And the multitude rose together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them].
Eno mih lomkhoon rumta loong ah nep ih Pool nyia Silas ah roong buh rumta. Saahaap loong ah ih Pool nyia Silas ah nyuh akhat nep ih khoohoom rum ano bot thuk rumta.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Rapne ih bot lidi, Pool nyia Silas ah phaatak ni sak nyuuta, eno saahaap ah ih kit eh tangsak thuk rumta.
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Erah baat kano, phaatak bante ah ih nokmong khok ni siitwan nyu ano, nengnyi lah ah bangtan laktung ni roopkit wan nyuuta.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Pheethungkham di Pool nyia Silas ah Rangte seehoon boongkaat lam ih rangsoom nyuuta, eno phaatak ni sakta wahoh loong ah ih nengnyi seehoon boongkaat ah boichaat ih rumta.
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.
Baphuk ih hah ah choophaan phaan ih moh ano phaatak nok ah thetnyoongta. Kaasak loong ah laakdat, eno phaatak dowa miloong khakta janruh loong ah jaadat eta.
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.
Phaatak bante ah paatsaat ano kaasak loong ah laakdat choi tupta, heh ih thunta phaatak dowa miloong ah hotsoon ela ngeh ah; eno heh lang ah dok hoom ano heh teeteewah taat tek haatta.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Enoothong Pool erongwah ih tangriita, “An teewah nak tek haat uh! Seng loongtang eje!”
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas;
Phaatak bante ah ih weephaak took kot taat jam poonta, noppit ano, heh lakuh rungrung ih moh ano Pool nyia Silas lasih jowangta.
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Eno wanyi ah dokkhoom thuknyu ano chengta, “Chuupha nyi, nga khopi suh tiim ih we ang?”
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Wanyi ah ih baatta, “An khopi suh Teesu Jisu suh laalom uh an jaatang loongtang epui e an.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Eno wanyi ah ih neng changtom suh Teesu tiit ah nyootsoot ih nyuuta.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed [their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
Erah rangphe adi phaatak bante ah ih doksiit nyu ano nengnyi sok ama loong ah chotchaat eta; lakdamdam di neng jaatang changtom juutem rumta.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Erah lih adi Pool nyia Silas ah heh nok ni siitkaat nyu ano phaksat ah kokaang nyuuta. Neng jaatang changtom Rangte hanpi hi ngeh ih roon rumta.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.
Erah saalih rangkhah di Room hate ngoong awang loong ah ih phaatak bante saahaap loong reeni pulit suh baatwan thuk rumta, “Wanyi ah dokkhoom toom ih nyu ah ngeh ah.”
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.
Eno phaatak bante ah ih Pool suh baatta, “Saahaap loong ah ih set Silas suh dok etheng ngeh ih maaatbaat rumhala. Set jen kaat ih ansih, ese thamtham ih kah ansih.”
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.
Enoothong Pool ih saahaap asuh liita, “Seknyi Room nok hah, tiim uh laathih keetih di, nokwah dung ni buh tahe tih! Erah lih adi phaatak ni sak tahe tih. Eno amadi ah hotsu ih kaat thuk hali tih. Enoothong emah tah angka! Room hate saahaap loong ah ih nengneng wang haano toom kaat thuk he tih.”
38 And the sergeants told these words to the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans.
Phaatak bante loong ah ih erah jengkhaap ah Room hate saahaap loong asuh baat kaat rumta; eno Pool nyia Silas ah Room nok ha ngeh ih japchaat rum ano, neng loong ah echo ih rumta.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and desired [them] to depart out of the city.
Erah thoidi neng loong ah kah ano seng mok re ah enaan ih weehe ngeh ih roongwaan karumta; eno phaatak nawa doksiit rum ano samnuthung dowa doksoon ih ansih ngeh ih baat rumta.
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.
Pool nyia Silas ah phaatak dowa doksoon nyu ano Lidia nok ni kanyuuta. Erah ni Teesu liphante loong ah chomui kanyuuta, eno neng loong asuh chaankot jengkhaap ah jengthiin nyu ano doksoon nyuuta.
