Caeltueih 21
1 Amih taeng lamloh ka khoe uh tih ka kat ham a om vaengah Koce la, a vuen ah Rhodo la, te lamkah loh Patria la thaeng ka pawk uh.
And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 Te vaengah Phoiniki la aka hlaikan sangpho te ka hmuh uh dongah ka ngol uh tih ka kat uh.
And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Tedae Kupros a tueng vaengah banvoei la ka phael uh. Syria la ka hlaikan uh tih sangpho te hnopai hal ham a om dongah Tyre ah ka duem uh.
Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 Te vaengah hnukbang rhoek neh pahoi ka hum uh tih hnin rhih ka om uh. Jerusalem la Paul a kun pawt ham amih te mueihla loh a thui sak.
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Tedae khohnin a cuum tom vaengah kaimih khaw caeh ham ka khoe uh tih kaimih te khopuei vongvoel duela huta camoe boeih loh n'thak uh. Te vaengah tuikaeng ah khuklu cungkueng neh thangthui tih khat neh khat ka phih uh thae.
And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 Te phoeiah sangpho khuila ka yoeng uh tih amih khaw a im la bal uh.
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7 Tedae Tyre lamloh Patolema ka pha uh vaengah yincaeh te ka khah uh. Te vaengah manuca rhoek te ka voek uh tih amih te hnin at ka om puei uh.
And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 A vuen ah ka cet uh tih Kaiserea te ka pha uh. Te vaengah olthangthen aka thui parhih khuikah aka om Philip im khuila ka kun uh tih anih taengah ka rhaeh uh.
And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9 Anih taengah aka tonghma tah canu oila pali om.
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 Khohnin a sen a om phoeiah atah Judah tonghma pakhat, a ming ah Agabus te ha suntla,
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 Tedae kaimih taengla ha pawk vaengah Paul kah cihin te hang khuen tih a kut a kho te a yen. Te phoeiah, “'Hekah cihin kungmah la aka om hlang te Jerusalem ah Judah rhoek loh a pin vetih namtom kut ah a voeih ni, 'tila Mueihla Cim loh a thui,” a ti.
And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Te te ka yaak uh vaengah kaimih neh khokung khomah rhoek long khaw Jerusalem la caeh pawt ham amah te ka hloep uh.
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Te vaengah Paul loh, “Rhah te na saii uh tih ka thin paeng, Tedae kai tah Jerusalem ah pin ham bueng pawt tih Boeipa Jesuh ming dongah duek ham khaw sikim la ka om coeng,” a ti nah.
Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Te dongah anih te ngaiyak voel kolla ka paa uh tih Boeipa kah kongaih bangla om ka ti uh.
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Khohnin te muep a thok phoeiah Jerusalem la caeh ham ka hlah uh.
And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Te vaengah Kaiserea lamkah hnukbang rhoek khaw kaimih taengla m'puei uh tih hnukbang rhuem pakhat, Kuporos hoel Manason taengah pah hamla n'thak uh.
There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Te dongah Jerusalem la ka pawk uh vaengah kaimih he manuca rhoek loh hlaehlae n'doe uh.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 A vuen ah Paul tah kaimih neh James taengah ka kun uh tih a ham rhoek khaw boeih ha pawk uh.
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 Te vaengah amih te a voek tih a bibi dongah Pathen loh namtom rhoek ham a saii pah te pakhat phoeiah pakhat rhip a thui pah.
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Te dongah aka ya rhoek loh Pathen te a thangpom uh tih anih te, “Manuca nang, Judah khuiah aka tangnah rhoek te a thawng a sang la muep om uh tih olkhueng neh aka hmae la boeih a om uh khaw na hmuh coeng.
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21 Nang kawng khaw a thuituen uh. Namtom bangla Judah pum te Moses taeng lamloh a phaelhnah ni na thuituen. Ca rhoek kah a yahvin a rhet pawt neh a khosing dongah a pongpa pawt ni na thui.
And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 Namah na pawk he rhep a yaak uh vaengah metlam nim a om ve.
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Te dongah ka thui uh bangla nang loh saii laeh. Amamih ah paipi aka khueh hlang pali loh kaimih taengah om,
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Te rhoek te khuen lamtah amih neh ciim laeh. A lu a vok vaengkah ham khaw tangka te hnonah thil, Te daengah ni nang kawng a thui uh te a hong ni tila hlang boeih loh a ming eh. Tedae olkhueng aka tuem long tah namah khaw vai van.
Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25 Aka tangnah namtom rhoek kawng dongah mueirhol buh neh thii, rhawnkhak neh Cukhalnah he rhael ham ol ka tloek uh tih ca ka pat uh coeng,” a ti uh.
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26 Te dongah hlang rhoek te Paul loh a khuen tih, hnin at a om phoeiah amih te a ciim tih bawkim khuila kun, ciimnah khohnin kah pahong te a doek nen tah amamih kah hmueih te pakhat rhip ham a nawn pah.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 Hnin rhih a thok tom vaengah Asia lamkah Judah rhoek loh Paul te bawkim ah a hmuh uh. Hlangping te boeih a huek uh tih anih te kut a hlah thil uh.
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 “Israel hlang rhoek aw n'bom uh lah. Anih he pilnam nen khaw, olkhueng nen khaw, he hmuen nen khaw a kingkalh la om tih khotomrhali ah boeih a thuituen, Te phoeiah Greek rhoek khaw bawkim la hang khuen tih hmuen cim he a poeih bal,” tila pang uh.
Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29 Anih neh khopuei ah Ephesa kah Trophimu neh a hmaitang nah om coeng. Te dongah anih te Paul loh bawkim khuila a khuen tila a poek uh.
( For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 Te dongah khopuei tah a pum la tuen tih pilnam khuikah a capinah om. Paul te a tuuk uh tih bawkim poengvoel la a mawt uh phoeiah thohka te tloep a khaih uh.
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
31 Anih ngawn hamla a toem uh dongah Jerusalem pum loh a puen te olthang loh caem kah rhalboeipa taengla a pha.
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Anih long te rhalkap neh rhalboei rhoek tlek a khuen tih amih te a suntlak thil. Rhalboeipa neh rhalkap rhoek te a hmuh uh daengah Paul a boh uh te a toeng uh.
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33 Te vaengah rhalboeipa loh ham paan tih a tuuk tih thirhui panit neh pin ham ol a paek, Te phoeiah anih te metla om tih a saii tholh ba a om khaw a cae pueng.
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 Tedae hlangping khuiah khat khat loh a paluep paluep a o uh tih, olpung kacan kongah a thuem a ham la a ming thai pawt dongah Paul te rhalkap im la khuen ham ol a paek.
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 Tedae kuihlak ah a om vaengah hlangping kah thaehuetnah te a om dongah Paul te rhalkap rhoek loh a koh uh.
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36 Pilnam rhaengpuei loh a vai uh tih, “Anih te hang khuen,” tila pang uh.
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37 Rhalkap im la a khuen tom vaengah Paul loh rhalboeipa te, “A tueng atah nang taengah ol pakhat khaw ka thui dae ni,” a ti nah. Te long khaw, “Greek ol na ming nama?
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Hnukbuet tue vaengkah boe aka koek tih hlangrhet la tongpa thawngli te khosoek la aka mawt, Egypt hoel te nang pawt nim?” a ti nah.
Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 Te dongah Paul loh, “Kai tah Kilikia Tarsus kah Judah hlang la ka om tih kho mailai kah pilnam moenih, Te dongah pilnam taengah thui ham khaw kai nan paek ham nang kan dawt,” a ti nah.
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
40 Anih long khaw a paek dongah kuihlak dongah aka pai Paul loh pilnam te kut a cavoih thil. Kamkhuemnah neh boeih a om vaengah Hebrew ol la a thui tih,
And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
