Paul however intending to go in to the people not were allowing him the disciples;
31 A paya la aka om Asia boei hlangvang loh amah te a tah tih lamcawntol ah pum paek pawt ham a hloep uh.
Some then also of the Asiarchs being to him friends, having sent to him they were urging [him] not to venture himself into the theatre.

36 Te dongah hekah he oelh tloel la om coeng. Nangmih duem om ham neh marhumarhat la saii pawt ham ni a kuek.
Undeniable therefore are being these things necessary it is for you quietened to be and nothing rash to do.
37 Nang khuen uh hlang rhoek he bawkim aka reth aih moenih, mamih kah pathen aka soehsal bal moenih.
You brought for men these neither temple plunderers nor blaspheming the (goddess *N+kO) (of us. *N+KO)
38 Te dongah Demetrius neh anih taengkah kutthai rhoek loh pakhat pakhat te olka a khueh thil oeh atah khoboei aka om rhoek taengah dumlo lailo te khuen uh saeh lamtah khat neh khat tingtoeh uh saeh.
If indeed therefore Demetrius and the with him craftsmen have against anyone a matter courts are conducted and proconsuls there are; they should accuse to one another.
39 Tedae khat khat ni na kuek uh thil atah hlangboel kah a rhimong neh thuicaih pah saeh.

And for we are in danger of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day not one cause there is existing concerning which not we will be able (to render *NK+o) a reason (for *no) commotion this.

And these things having said he dismissed the assembly.
