Caeltueih 28
1 Malta a ti sanglak tah sading la ka hmuh uh.
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 Te vaengah kholong rhoek loh kaimih taengah lungnah a tueng sak te a mailai moenih. Rhotui ha pai tih khosik vaengah kaimih ham hmai boeih han toih uh tih n'doe uh.
And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 Paul loh thingpaem pok at te a sisuk tih hmai dongah a pup hatah hmaihu khui lamkah rhulthae ha thoeng tih a kut a kap pah.
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.
4 A kut lamkah aka bat satlung te kholong rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah khat neh khat te, “Hekah hlang tah hlang aka ngawn la om tih tuili lamloh ha daem ngawn dae dantatnah loh anih he hing sak ham a hlah moenih,” a ti uh.
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast 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.
5 Tedae suva te hmai khuila a khoek tih a tloh lam khaw patang pawh.
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Tedae anih a duih ham neh a duek la rhup a cungku ham ni a lamtawn uh. Amih te puet lamso dae anih taengah a lang la a om pawt te a hmuh uh. Te dongah poehlip uh tih, “Anih he pathen ni,” a ti uh.
Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, 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.
7 Te vaengah a kaepvai hmuen te tah sanglak tongmang a ming ah Poplio kah khohmuen la om. Anih long te kaimih te n'doe tih hnin thum khuiah hlae hlae m'pah sak.
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 Te vaengah Poplio kah a napa te satloh neh tamthae nat tih yalh. Te dongah anih te Paul loh a kun thil tih a kut a tloeng thil phoeiah a thangthui pah hatah anih te hoeih.
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Te tlam te a om dongah sanglak ah aka om tih tloh aka khueh rhoek long khaw ham paan uh tih hoeih uh.
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10 Kaimih he amih loh hinyahnah neh muep n'hinyah uh van dongah tuili ka kat uh vaengkah ham a ngoengaih uh te han sang uh.
Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 Hla thum phoeiah sangpho neh ka kat uh tih rhaiphae miknoek Alexandria sanglak ah sikca ka boek uh.
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Te vaengah Surakousai la ka thoeng uh tih hnin thum ka om uh.
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
13 Te lamkah loh ka khoe uh tih Rhegion te kam pha uh. Tedae hnin at neh tuithim yilh ha hli tih a bae hnin ah Putioloi la ka pawk uh.
And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
14 Te ah te manuca rhoek ka hmuh tih amih loh hnin rhih om ham n'cael uh. Te phoeiah te Rom la ka cet uh tangloeng.
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
15 Te lamloh kaimih kawng te manuca rhoek loh a yaak uh tih kaimih doe hamla Appios kholung neh impoem pathum duela ha pawk uh. Amih a hmuh vaengah Paul loh thahluenah la a loh tihPathen te a uem.
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.
16 Tedae Rom la ka kun uh vaengah Paul te amah aka tawt rhalkap neh amah ngaihloei ah om ham a paek.
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.
17 Hnin thum a cum phoeiah Judah rhoek kah a congkhang la aka om rhoek te a hueh tih a tingtun uh vaengah amih te, “Manuca rhoek ka hlang rhoek, kai tah Jerusalem lamloh Roman kut ah thongtla la m'voeih dae pilnam neh pacut rhoek kah khosing te a kingkalh la ka saii moenih.
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Amih loh kai he n'cae coeng dae dueknah neh a paelnaehnah te ka khuiah a om pawt dongah hlah ham a ngaih uh.
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Te vaengah Judah rhoek kah boekoek dongah Kaisar taeng pha ham ka tanolh. Ka namtu pawt bangla khat khat neh paelnaeh ham vik ha om.
But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
20 He kawng he kungsut tih ni nangmih muei hmuh ham neh uen ham kan cael uh,” a ti nah. Israel kah ngaiuepnah kongah thirhui neh n'ven coeng he.
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.
21 Te daengah amih loh Paul te, “Nang kawng neh Judea lamkah capat te ka dang uh moenih, nang kawng pakhat khaw a thae la aka thui tih aka puen te manuca khui lamkah pakhat pataeng ha pawk moenih.
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
22 Tedae namah kah na poek te yaak ham ka ngaih uh. Buhlaelh kawng he tah khotomrhali ah boekoek la ka ming uh la om,” a ti uh.
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23 Te dongah Paul ham a tue a hmoel uh tih a taengah pahnah hmuen ah muep ha pawk uh. Te vaengah Pathen ram te neh a uen tih a yoek phoeiah Moses olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek dongkah Jesuh kawng te amih ham mincang lamkah hlaemhmah duela a saep pah.
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.
24 Te vaengkah a thui te hlangvang loh a rhooi tih hlangvang loh a hnalval pah.
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 Te dongah a hlinghlang la om uh tih khat neh khat moeng uh thae. Paul kah a thui ol pakhat tah, “Mueihla Cim loh na pa rhoek te tonghma Isaiah dong lamkah,
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
26 'Pilnam taengah he cet lamtah thui pah. Hnavue neh na yaak sui dae na hmuhming loengloeng mahpawh. Hmuh khaw na hmuh uh sui dae na hmat uh loengloeng mahpawh.
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
27 Pilnam he a ko talh tih, a hna nen khaw a hnatun uh tloel. A mik khaw a him uh. Mik neh hmu uh tih hna nen khaw yaak uh vaengah thinko neh a hmuhming uh vetih rhoeh ha bal uh vaengah amih te ka hoeih sak lah ve,’ a ti tih a thui te thuem coeng.
For the heart of this people is waxed 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.
28 Te dongah Pathen kah khangnah he namtom rhoek taengla a thak vaengah amih loh a yaak uh ham te nangmih taengah om sak ham ming uh,” a ti nah.
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
29 Te vaengah amah kah impham dongah kumhnih puet ngol pai tih,
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 a taengla aka kun rhoek te boeih a doe.
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
31 Pathen kah ram te a hoe tih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kawng khaw sayalh la phaeng phaeng boeih a thuituen.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
