Acts 28
1 And when they had escaped, then they knew that the isle was called Melita.
Amate a suatak zawk uh ciang in, tua tuikul sia Melita kici hi, ci he uh hi.
2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the 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 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid [them] on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on 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 And when the barbarians saw the animal hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not 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 And he shook off the animal into the fire, and felt no harm.
Taciang Paul in tua nganhing sia meisung ah thing a, bangma tat ngawl hi.
6 Yet they looked when he would have swelled, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to 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 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the isle, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
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 And it came to pass that the father of Publius lay sick with a fever, and a bloody-flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid 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 So when this was done, others also who had diseases in the isle, 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 Who also honored us with many honors; and when we departed, they laded [us] with such things as were necessary.
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 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
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 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.
Syracuse ah ka tawlnga uh a, tua mun ah ni thum sung ka om uh hi.
13 And from thence we made a circuit, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to 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 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went towards 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 And from thence when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii-forum, and the Three taverns: whom when Paul saw, 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 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept 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 And it came to pass, that after three days, Paul called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them, Men, brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered 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 Who when they had examined me, would have let [me] go, because there was no cause of death in me.
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 [it], I was constrained to appeal to Cesar; not that I had aught to accuse my nation of.
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 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see [you], and to speak with [you]: because that for the hope of Israel 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 And they said to him, We have neither received letters from Judea concerning thee, neither have any of the brethren that came shown or spoken any harm of thee.
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 desire to hear from thee, what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
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 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets, from morning till 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 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
Taciang a son thu te sia mi pawlkhat te in um uh a, pawlkhat te in a um bua uh hi.
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit by Isaiah the prophet to our 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 Saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and 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 is become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should 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 Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
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.
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
Paul in hi thu te a son zawkciang in, Judah mite pai uh a, amate sung ah nasiatak in thu kikum uh hi.
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in to him,
Paul sia a sap tawm inn ah kum ni sung om hi, taciang a kung ah hongpai theampo sang a,
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
Pathian kumpingam thupha hil le Topa Jesus Christ taw kisai thu te hangsantak in hil a, kuama in kham ngawl hi.
