Cei 16
1 Cawhkawng Derbe ingkaw Lustra khaw ce pha hy. Ce a khaw awh a nu Juda nu, a pa Greek na ak awm hubat thlang pynoet Timote ce awm hy.
And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 Anih taw Lustra ingkaw Ikonium khaw awhkaw koeinaakhqi ing a mim kyih thlang pynoet na awm hy.
The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paul ing anih ce ceh pyi poe aham ngaih hy, cedawngawh cawh amik awm Judakhqi ak coetnaak ama awmnaak aham cekkhqi ing a pa Greek pa ni tice ami sim boeih a dawngawh anih ce chahhui qeet pehy.
Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Khaw pynoet coeng pynoet ami ceh coengawh, thlangkhqi ing Jerusalem khaw awhkaw ceityihkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ing awi amik tlyh ce ngaih aham kqawn pe uhy.
And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
5 Cedawngawh thlangboelkhqi ce cangnaak awh tai unawh pung khqoet khqoet uhy.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Asia qam awh awi kqawn aham Ciim Myihla ing a kham peek a dawngawh, Paul ingkaw a pyikhqi ce Phrygia qam ingkaw Galatia qam na cet poe uhy.
And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
7 Musia qam khawqi ce ami pha awh, Bithynia qam khuina ceh aham cai uhy, cehlai Jesu ang Myihla ing cekkhqi ce am ceh sak hy.
and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
8 Cedawngawh Musia qam ce kan unawh Troas khaw na nu cet uhy.
and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Cawh a awm awh Paul ing ik-oeih huh saknaak awh Makedonia thlang pynoet ing dyi nawh a venawh, “Makedonia na law unawh taw kaimih ve ni bawm khqi lah.” tinawh qeennaak thoeh hy.
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 Cawhkaw ik-oeih huh saknaak ce Paul ing a huh coengawh, Makedonia na ceh aham cai pahoei unyng. Khawsa ing cekkhqi venawh awithang leek kqawn aham nik khy khqi hy tice sim unyng.
And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Troas khaw awhkawng tuicunli awh lawng ing Samothrace khaw na cet unyng, cawhkawng a khawngawi awh Neapolis na cet poe unyng.
Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 Cawhkawng Rom a uknaak khui awhkaw qam Makedonia qam khuiawh kaw khawk bau na ak awm Philipi khaw na khaw ing cet unyng. Cawh ce khawnghi khawqyt awm unyng.
and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.
13 Sabbath nyn awh cykcah aham khawk bau vawng chawmkeng a ceng benna kaw long na ce cet unyng. Cawhkaw amik cun nukhqi venawh awi kqawn pe unyng.
And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.
14 Cawhkaw awi ak ngaikhqik khuiawh Thyatira khaw awhkaw Khawsa ak bawk hik thim ak zawi nu thlang pynoet Lydia ak mingnaak ce awm lawt hy. Paul ak awih kqawn do aham Bawipa ing anih ak kawlung ce awng pehy.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.
15 Amah ingkaw a ipkhuikaw boeih ing baptisma ami huh coengawh, kaimih ce a im na nik khy khqi hy. “Kai ve Bawipak awi ak cangnaak thlang na nami nik poek lawt awhtaw ka imna pah law uh,” ni tinak khqi hy. Anih ing kaimih ce ni hlawh khqi hy.
And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
16 Hypoet taw cykcahnaak aham ka mi ceh awh, ni hai benna kaw ik-oeih ak kqawn thai qaai ak ta nuca tamnaa pynoet ce hu unyng. Hailam ben ik-oeih ak kqawnnaak ak caming a boei aham tangka huh pehy.
And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
17 Cawhkaw nuca ing Paul ingkaw kaimih a hu awh law nawh, “Ve ak thlangkhqi ve nangmih hulnaak ak kqawn lawkung, sawsang khyt Khawsa a tyihzawihkhqi ni,” tinawh khy hy.
The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.
18 Khawnghi cemyihna ce kqawn khing hy. A hukhit na taw Paul ing ak kaw hul law nawh cawhkaw qaai na ce, “Jesu Khrih ang ming ing vawhkaw nuca ak kawk khuiawh kawng cawn hlah!” tina hy. Cawh qoe qoe awh ce qaai ing cawhkaw nuca ce cehta hy.
And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 Cawhkaw tamnaa nuca a boeikhqi ing tangka ami huhnaak am awm voel hy tice ami sim awh, Paul ingkaw Sila ce tu unawh, ik-oeih zawihnaak a hun awh ukkungkhqi venna sawi uhy.
But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
20 Cekqawi ce awidengkung a venna sawi unawh, “Vekqawi ve Juda phyn qawi ni, ni khaw na law nih nawh awipungnaak sai hy nih,
and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 ningmih Rom thlangkhqi ing sai hly kawi am ingkaw do hly kawi am phung alamkhqi sai sak aham kqawn hy nih,” tina uhy.
and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
22 Thlang kqeng ing Paul ingkaw Sila ce him aham za qu uhy, cawh awidengkungkhqi ing cekqawi a hi ce suh sak nawh vyk aham awi pehy.
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.
23 Cekqawi ce ak tlo na ami vyk coengawh, thawngim na thla uhy, ak nep na doen aham thawngim ak qehkung ce awi pe uhy.
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
24 Cawhkaw awipeeknaak amyihna anih ing cekqawi ce thawngim khui ak kaina ak thlak coengawh khawceh byn sak qawi bawk hy.
who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Thanlung awh Paul ingkaw Sila ing cykcah nih nawh Khawsa kyihcahnaak laa ce sa hy nih, cawh thlang thawng ang tlaak pyikhqi ing ngai pe uhy.
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
26 Cawh lipi thloek law nawh thawngim ce tlai law nyk nyk hy. Thawngim chawhkhqi boeih ce awng qu pheng nawh, thlang boeih a thiquikhqi awm hlam qu boeih hy.
and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.
27 Thawngim ak qehkung ce hqyng law nawh thawngim chawh ak awng qu boeih ce a huh awh, thawng ak tlakhqi cen boeih hawh hy voei uh tinawh, ak cimca ce phlawng nawh amah ingkaw amah sun qu aham cai hy.
And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Cehlai Paul ing, “Namah ingkaw namah koeh sai qu! Kaimih vawh awm boeih unyng!” tina hy.
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
29 Cawh thawngim ak qehkung ing mai a vang sak coengawh thawngim khuina dawng nawh Paul ingkaw Sila a haiawh thyn doena khyk sym pehy.
And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 Cekkqawi ce thawngim a ceng na a sawi qawi coengawh, “Bawipa qawi, hulna ka awmnaak aham ikaw ka sai kaw?” tina qawi hy.
and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Cekkqawi ing, “Bawipa Jesu ce cangna nawhtaw, cawhtaw namah ingkaw na ipkhuikaw boeih hul na awm kawm uk ti,” tina hy nih.
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
32 Cekcoengawh cekqawi ing Bawipa ak awi ce anih ingkaw a ipkhuikaw boeih a venawh kqawn pe hy nih.
And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.
33 Cawh qoe qoe awh thawngim ak qehkung ing cekqawi ce ceh pyi nawh ani maakhqi ce silh pehy; cawh amah ingkaw a ipkhuikaw boeih ing baptisma hu pahoei uhy.
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
34 Thawngim ak qehkung ing cekqawi ce amah a im na ceh pyi nawh buh ai sak qawi hy; amah ingkaw a ipkhuikhaw boeih ing Khawsa ce amik cangnaak hawh a dawngawh anih ce zeelnaak ing be hy.
And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
35 Khaw a dai awhtaw, awi ak tlykkungkhqi ing vawhkaw awipeek ing thawngim ak qehkng a venawh thlang tyi uhy: “Cekkqawi ce hlah hlah,” tina uhy.
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 Thawngim ak qehkung ing Paul a venawh, “Awi tlykkungkhqi ing nang ingkaw Sila ve hlah awi ni pe hawh uhy. Cedawngawh cet thai hawh hy nik ti. Ngaihqep cana cet hlah nih,” tina qawi hy.
And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.
37 Cehlai Paul ing cawhkaw amik law thlangkhqi venawh: “Rom thlang na awm hlai nih nyng, awi ani deng hlanawh thlang a haiawh ni vyk uhy, cekcoengawh thawngim awh nik thlak qawi bai hy. Tuh kainih ve ang hyp na tyi dym aham ngaih unawh nu? Amni! A mimah qoe qoe law u seitaw kainih ve ni hlah law u seh,” tina hy.
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38 Cawhkaw thlangkhqi ing anih ak awi ce awi tlykkungkhqi venawh kqawn pe uhy, Paul ing Sila ce Rom thlang ni tice cekkhqi ing a ming zaak awh, kqih uhy.
And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;
39 Law unawh cekqawi a venawh qeennaak ami thoeh coengawh hlah uhy, ce a khaw ce cehtaak aham cekqawi a venawh qeennaak thoeh uhy.
and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
40 Paul ingkaw Sila ce thawngim awhkawng ani loet coengawh, Lydia a im na cet hy nih, cawh ce koeinaakhqi hqum nih nawh thapeeknaak awi kqawn pe hy nih. Cekcoengawh ak chang na cet hy nih.
And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
