< Acts 16 >

1 He also came to Derbe and to Lystra. At Lystra he found a disciple, Timothy by name--the son of a Christian Jewess, though he had a Greek father.

Paul'n Derbe le Lystra khom a sir sa, mahan Khristien inkhat a riming Timothy a oma. A nû khom Khristien dên Juda mi ania, a pa chu Greek ani.

2 Timothy was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium,

Lystra le Iconiuma iempungei murdi'n Timothy an minlut ok ngâia.

3 and Paul desiring that he should accompany him on his journey, took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

Paul'n ama hah tuong rang a nuoma, ma revêla Judangei han Timothy pa hah Greek ani ti an riet sikin Timothy khom a sertan pe ani.

4 As they journeyed on from town to town, they handed to the brethren for their observance the decisions which had been arrived at by the Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem.

Khopuingei tin an sir malamin, Jerusalema tîrtonngei le upangei balamngei masat hah iempungei an pêk tira, jôm rang khomin he an be tira.

5 So the Churches went on gaining a stronger faith and growing in numbers from day to day.

Masikin, koiindangngei hah taksônnân an rât uola nîngtin an pung titira.

6 Then Paul and his companions passed through Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the Message in the province of Asia.

Ratha Inthiengin Asia rama thurchi misîr a khap sikin Phrygia le Galatia ram an sîra.

7 When they reached the frontier of Mysia, they were about to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit this.

Mysia ramri an tungin chu Bithynia rama se rang an bôka, hannirese, Jisua Ratha'n phal ngei maka.

8 So, passing along Mysia, they came to Troas.

Masikin, Mysia ram khêlin Troasa an se zoia.

9 Here, one night, Paul saw a vision. There was a Macedonian who was standing, entreating him and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."

Hanchu, mani jâna han Paul'n inlârnân Macedonia rama mi inkhatin “Macedonia rama hong kâi inla, mi hong san roh,” tia ngênin a mua,

10 So when he had seen the vision, we immediately looked out for an opportunity of passing on into Macedonia, confidently inferring that God had called us to proclaim the Good News to the people there.

Paul'n inlârna hi a mu suole chu Macedonia rama se rangin kin inthok kelen zoia, ha rama mingei kôma Thurchi Sa misîr rangin Pathien'n mi koi sikin.

11 Accordingly we put out to sea from Troas, and ran a straight course to Samothrace. The next day we came to Neapolis,

Troas renga rukuongin kin jôka, Samothrace kin thengpata, male anangtûka Neapolis kin sea.

12 and thence to Philippi, which is a city in Macedonia, the first in its district, a Roman colony. And there we stayed some little time.

Ha renga hah Philippia kin sea, ha khopuilien hah Macedonia; rama khuo inkhat ania, ma biela han chu khuo kâm omtak ani. Rom mingei bung ani. Ma khuoa han sûn tamtak kin châma.

13 On the Sabbath we went beyond the city gate to the riverside, where we had reason to believe that there was a place for prayer; and sitting down we talked with the women who had come together.

Sabbathni khopui pêntienga tuidung panga Judangei chubaithona ngâi mun ni ranga kin iema han kin sea; mahan kin insunga nupang intûp ngei kôm thurchi kin misîra.

14 Among our hearers was one named Lydia, a dealer in purple goods. She belonged to the city of Thyateira, and was a worshipper of the true God. The Lord opened her heart, so that she gave attention to what Paul was saying.

Ha ngei lâia mi a riming Lydia, Thyatira, khuo mi puon senduk juor ngâi, Pathiena inbei mi nupang inkhatin chong a rieta; male Paul thurchi misîr jôm rangin Pumapa'n a mulungrîl a minvâr pea.

15 When she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If in your judgement I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she made us go there.

Ama le a inmingeiin baptisma an chang zoiin chu, “Pumapa iem tatakin ni nan bêa anin chu ki ina hong tung roi tiin mi siel rîta,” ni sûr zoi.

16 One day, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, a slave girl met us who claimed to be inspired and was accustomed to bring her owners large profits by telling fortunes.

Sûnkhat chu chubaithona muna kin se lâiin suok dôngmate inkhat ramkhori sûra taruosân thei kin intongpuia, amanu han taruosân a theina sika han a pu ngei sum tamtak a lo pe ngâia.

17 She kept following close behind Paul and the rest of us, crying aloud, "These men are the bondservants of the Most High God, and are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

Hanu han Paul le Keini mi jûia, “Hi mi, Sanminringna lampui nangni ril ngei hih, Ânchungtak Pathien tîrlâmngei an ni hi,” tiin âniek ngâia.

18 This she persisted in for a considerable time, until Paul, wearied out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out immediately.

Ma anghan, sûn tamtak a tho tenin chu Paul a mulung hoi khâi maka, a takasia. Ramkhori kôm han, “Jisua Khrista rimingin a sûng renga jôk rangin chong nang ke pêk,” a tia. Ha mitmisim kongkâr han a jôk pai kelen zoia.

19 But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them off to the magistrates in the public square.

A pumangei han an sum manna om khâi mak ti an riet lechu Paul le Silas hah an sûra, roijêkpungei kôm mipui intûpna muna an kai minlûta.

20 Then they brought them before the praetors. "These men," they said, "are creating a great disturbance in our city.

Rom roijêkpungei kôm an min tungin chu, “Hi mingei hih Juda an nia, kin khopuilien sûnga bâiinkhamna an sin ngâi.

21 They are Jews, and are teaching customs which we, as Romans, are not permitted to adopt or practise."

Balam dang kin balam le ânkâl, keini Rom mingei kin pom rang le kin mang ranga ânthiengloi an misîr ngâi” an tia.

22 The crowd, too, joined in the outcry against them, till at length the praetors ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods;

Mipuingei hah Paul le Silas jêm rangin an inthoka. Masuole chu roijêkpungei han Paul le Silas puon an khêr pe ngeia, jêm rangin chong an pêka.

23 and, after severely flogging them, they threw them into jail and bade the jailer keep them safely.

An jêm bit suole jêl ina an khuma, a ngâkpu kôm han asân khumrap rangin chong an pêka.

24 He, having received an order like that, lodged them in the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.

Ma anghan, intâng insûng ânlâina taka a khum ngei, an kea thing kekok riktak an min bun ngeia.

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,

Jân lâitaka chu Paul le Silas'n Pathien kôm chubai an thoa. Minpâkna lâ an thoa, intâng ina midangngeiin an rangâia.

26 when suddenly there was such a violent shock of earthquake that the prison shook to its foundations. Instantly the doors all flew open, and the chains fell off from every prisoner.

Inningloiin nîngnupui a honga; intâng in lungphûmngei tena khom ânphêt heta, voikhatrengin inkhârngei hah ân-ong leta, mitin rênrokolngei hah ânkhek rila.

27 Starting up from sleep and seeing the doors of the jail wide open, the jailer drew his sword and was on the point of killing himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

Hanchu, angâkpu a in hah a hong hara, inkhârngei in-ong letin a mua, intâng ina intângngei an rot suo zoi tiin a bôka, khandai a kaidûka, inthat rang a thoa.

28 But Paul shouted loudly to him, saying, "Do yourself no injury: we are all here.

Hannirese Paul'n rôl inringtakin, “Ite inlo no roh, kin rêngin kin la om let” a tia.

29 Then, calling for lights, he sprang in and fell trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas;

Ama han meiser a roka, a tâna, chi le innîk pumin Paul le Silas ke bula ânbokraka.

30 and, bringing them out of the prison, he exclaimed, "O sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

Hanchu anni han a ruoi suok ngeia, “Pungei, Sanminringa ko om theina rangin imo ko tho rang?” a tia.

31 "Believe on the Lord Jesus," they replied, "and both you and your household will be saved."

Anni han, “Pumapa Jisua iem inla, hanchu sanminringin om ni tih, nangma le ni inmingei leh,” tiin an thuona.

32 And they told the Lord's Message to him as well as to all who were in his house.

Masuole chu ama le a inmingei han Pumapa thurchi an misîra.

33 Then he took them, even at that time of night, washed their wounds, and he and all his household were immediately baptized;

Mani jâna han, ma zora lelea han an sâbengei hah a rusûk pe ngeia; hanchu ama le a inmingei baptisma an chang kelen zoi.

34 and bringing the Apostles up into his house, he spread a meal for them, and was filled with gladness, with his whole household, his faith resting on God.

Masuole Paul le Silas hah a ina a tuong ngeia, sâk rang a pêk ngeia Pathien an iem zoi sikin an insûng pumin an râiasân tatak zoi ani.

35 In the morning the praetors sent their lictors with the order, "Release those men."

Anangtûk jînga chu Rom roijêkpungei han, “Ha mingei hah mojôk ta roh,” ti chongpêk chôiin misûr ngâi ngei ulienngei an tîra.

36 So the jailer brought Paul word, saying, "The praetors have sent orders for you to be released. Now therefore you can go, and proceed on your way in peace."

Masikin a ngâkpu han Paul kôm, “Roijêkpungeiin nangni mojôk rangin chong an hong muthuon. Hong jôk ungla, rathânngamtakin se ta roi,” a tia.

37 But Paul said to them, "After cruelly beating us in public, without trial, Roman citizens though we are, they have thrown us into prison, and are they now going to send us away privately? No, indeed! Let them come in person and fetch us out."

Aniatachu, Paul'n misûr ngâi ulienngei kôm, “Rom miriem kêng kin ni, kin tho minchâina om le omloi luo en loiin loko makunga min jêma, intâng ina min khuma. Atûn inrûkin mi mojôk rang an ti na? Ni thei tet no nih! Anni ngêt hong rese ngei, mi hong mojôk rese ngei,” a tia.

38 This answer the lictors took back to the praetors, who were alarmed when they were told that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.

Misûr ngâi ulienngeiin ha chong hah roijêkpungei kôm an misîra; Rom miriem anni ti an rietin chu an chi zoia.

39 Accordingly they came and apologized to them; and, bringing them out, asked them to leave the city.

Masikin an sea an vânvûia, male chu an mojôk ngeia khopuilien renga jôkpai rangin an ngêna.

40 Then Paul and Silas, having come out of the prison, went to Lydia's house; and, after seeing the brethren and encouraging them, they left Philippi.

Paul le Silas hah intâng in renga an jôka, Lydia ina an sea. Mahan iempungei hah an mua, mohôkna chong an pêk ngei suole chu an mâk ngei zoia.
