Toksahkungnawk 28
1 Nihcae loih o boih pacoengah ni, to ahmuen loe Melta, tiah kawk ih tui mah takui ih prae, tiah panoek o vop.
When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
2 To prae ah kaom kaminawk mah kaicae to kahoihah ang khetzawn o: kho angzoh moe, angqai parai pongah, kaicae han hmai ang cenh pae o, kaicae boih kahoihah ang khetzawn o.
The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
3 Pawl loe hmaitik hanah thing kangqonawk to akhuih, to naah hmai bet pongah kasoe kaom pahui to tacawt moe, Pawl ih ban ah angbang pae lawngkawng.
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.
4 To prae ah kaom kaminawk mah anih ban ah angbang lawngkawng pahui to hnuk o naah, Hae kami loe kami hum kami ni, tito palunghaengh han om ai, anih loe tuipui thung hoiah loih boeh e, a hing han taham om ai boeh, tiah maeto hoi maeto a thuih o.
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
5 Toe Pawl loe ahmaa caa ai, pahui to hmai thungah takhoek.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
6 Kaminawk mah loe akra ai ah anih ih ngan to bawk pae ueloe, amtimh pacoengah dueh roep tih, tiah poek o: atue paroeai thung Pawl to a khet o, toe kawbangah doeh om pae ai, to naah nihcae poek amkhraih o moe, Pawl loe sithaw mue, tiah a poek o.
But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
7 To ahmuen hoi angthla ai ah Publiu, tiah ahmin kaom kalen koek prae ukkung ih im to oh, anih mah kaicae ang lak, angmah im ah ni thumto ang cam o sak khue khawt ai, kahoihah ang khetzawn.
Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.
8 Publiu ih ampa loe ngannat moe, angsong sut: ngannat khue ai ah zokcik kana doeh a tawnh; Pawl loe anih khaeah caeh moe, lawkthuih pae, anih nuiah ban koeng pae moe, ngan a tuisak.
The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 To tiah hmuen to sak pae naah, to prae ah kaom nathaih tawn kalah kaminawk doeh angzoh o moe, ngantuihaih to hnuk o.
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
10 Nihcae mah kaicae paroeai ang pakoeh o; nihcae caehtaak han kam sak o naah loe, kang toeng hmuenmaenawk to palongpui thungah ang puen pae o.
They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 Khrah thumto ka oh o pacoengah, Kastor hoi Pollux ih krang kaom, siktue ah to prae thungah kaom, Alexandria ih palongpui hoiah ka caeh o.
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
12 Syracuse vangpui ah ka caeh o moe, toah ni thumto ka cam o.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 To vangpui hoiah ka caeh o let moe, Rhegium vangpui to ka phak o: nito ka cam o pacoengah, aloih bang ih takhi to songh, omvaih niah Puteoli vangpui to ka phak o:
From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 to vangpui ah nawkamyanawk to ka hnuk o, nihcae mah ni tarukto thung cam hanah ang pacae o, to ahmuen hoiah Rom vangpui ah ka caeh o.
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
15 Toah kaom nawkamyanawk mah kaicae angzoh ti, tiah a thaih o naah, kaicae dawt hanah, caaknaek zawhhaih Appi Forum hoi Im Thum kaom ahmuen karoek to ang zoh o: to kaminawk to Pawl mah hnuk naah, Sithaw khaeah kawnhaih lawk a thuih moe, thacakhaih to tawnh.
From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
16 Rom vangpui ka phak o naah loe, cumvaito ukkung misatuh angraeng loe thongkrah kaminawk to kalen koek thongkrah toep kami khaeah a aap: misatuh kami maeto mah Pawl to toep moe, a koeh baktiah oh thaihaih to paek.
When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 Ni thumto oh pacoengah Pawl mah Judah kami zaehoikung kacoehtanawk to kawk; nihcae loe angzoh o boih, Pawl mah nihcae khaeah, nawkamyanawk, kaminawk koeh ai ih hmuen tidoeh ka sah ai, aicae ampanawk ih atawk mah koeh ai ih hmuen doeh ka sah ai, toe Jerusalem vangpui ah kai ang naeh o moe, Rom kaminawk banah ang paek o.
After three days Paul called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18 Nihcae mah lok ang caek o naah, duek han khoek to zaehaih tidoeh ka sah ai pongah, ang prawt han koeh o.
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Toe Judahnawk mah koeh o ai, to pongah Caesar khae caeh hanah ka hnik; toe kaimah ih kaminawk to zae net han ih na ai ni.
But when the Judeans spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20 Hae pongah ni nangcae hoi anghnuk moe, lokthuih hanah kang kawk o: Israel kaminawk oephaih pongah ni kai hae sumqui hoiah ang pathlet o, tiah a naa.
For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
21 Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Nang kawng pongah Judea prae hoiah pat ih ca to ka hnu o ai, to prae hoiah angzo nawkamyanawk mah doeh nang to kasae thui o vai ai vop.
They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
22 Toe na poekhaih kawbangah maw oh, tiah thaih han ka koeh o: ahmuen kruekah kaom kaminawk mah loe hae kricaabu hae kasae ah thuih o, tiah a naa o.
But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
23 Pawl hoi angqumhaih ni to khaeh o, Pawl ohhaih im ah paroeai kaminawk angzoh o; akhawnbang hoi aduembang khoek to nihcae khaeah Sithaw ukhaih prae kawng to thuih pae pacoengah, Mosi ih kaalok hoi tahmaanawk mah Cabu thungah tarik ih Jesu kawng to panoek o thai hanah a thuih pae.
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Yeshua, both from the Torah of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 Anih mah thuih ih lok to thoemto kaminawk mah tang o, toe thoemto kaminawk mah loe tang o ai.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 Angmacae hoi angmacae palung adue o ai pongah, Pawl mah hae tiah lok maeto thuih pae pacoengah tacawt o ving; Kacai Muithla mah Isaiah patohhaih hoiah aicae ampanawk khaeah thuih ih lok mah loe,
When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
26 hae kaminawk khaeah caeh ah loe, Nangcae mah na thaih o tih, toe na thaih o kop mak ai; na hnuk o tih, toe na panoek o thai mak ai:
saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
27 hae kaminawk ih palung loe amro boih boeh; nihcae loe thaih kophaih naa tawn o ai, nihcae loe mik pasim o; to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae mah a mik hoiah hnu o ueloe, a naa hoiah thaih o tih, palung hoiah thaihkophaih tawn o ueloe, nihcae amlaem o let naah, nihcae to ngan ka tuisak moeng tih, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.
For this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
28 To pongah Gentelnawk khaeah Sithaw pahlonghaih to patoeh boeh, To lok to nihcae mah thaih o tih, tiah na panoek o han oh, tiah a naa.
“Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
29 Hae lok a thuih pae pacoengah, Judahnawk loe amlaem o moe, angmacae hoi angmacae paroeai lok angaek o.
When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 Pawl loe saning hnetto thung a tlai ih im ah oh, anih khaeah angzo kaminawk boih to kahoihah a khetzawn,
Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
31 pakaakung om ai ah, oephaih hoiah Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah ukhaih prae kawng to a thuih moe, Angraeng Jesu Kri kawng to patuk.
proclaiming God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Yeshua the Messiah with all boldness, without hindrance.
