Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.
Ceng ami pha boeih awhtaw, cawhkaw tuilak cung ce Malta tuilak cung ti uhy, tice sim unyng.
2 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.
Ce a tuilak awh ak awmkhqi boeih ing kaimih ce ni toek ni teng khqi uhy. Kaimih aham mai tih law unawh aawm unyng, khaw a nawh khaw ding hy.
3 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.
Paul ing thikkohkhqi ce boem nawh mai awh a tih awh ak chy ak ngan khqui ce maih hlawk ang zaak awh ce cawn law hy, Paul ce a kut awh cuk nawh bat hy.
4 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.”
Ce a tuilak cung awh ak awmkhqi ing Paul a kut awhkaw khqui ak bat ce ami huh awh, “Ve ak thlang ve thlang ak him vani hy voei, tui awhkawng taw loet hawh hlai hy, amak thym phu suinaak ing a hqing am ngaih nawh ni ve,” ti uhy.
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
Cehlai Paul ing khqui ce mai awh phum nawh a tlawh am za qoe hy.
6 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.
Thlangkhqi ingtaw a kut ce hling kaw, tlu law kawmsaw thik tlang kaw tinawh poek uhy, cehlai ami qeh khing awh awm Paul taw ikawmyihna awm am awm hy, cawhtaw amik kaw ce thaw unawh anih ve khawsa va ni hy voei tinawh poek uhy.
7 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.
Ce a tuilak cung awh boei na ak awm Publiu a dum ce ce a venawh awm hy. Anih ing kaimih ce nik khy khqi nawh a im awh khaw thum voei ani awm sak khqi awh ak leek cana ni toek ni teng khqi hy.
8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
A pa ce tlo nawh zaih hy, a sa tlo nawh tumthe awm tlo hy. Paul ing anih a venna cet hy, cykcahnaak taak pe nawh ak khan awh a kut a tloeng peek awh qoei hy.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
Cawhkaw ik-oeih ce ami huh awh, ce tuilak cung awh amik awm thlak chang boeih awm law unawh qoeinaak hu uhy.
10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
A mingmih ing kaimih ce nim kyihcah khqi uhy, cet hlah u sih ka mi ti awh kaimih a ngoengaihnaakkhqi boeih ce toen law uhy.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
Hla thum a di coeng awhtaw, ang ming phir, Alexandria khaw awhkaw lawng, chikca awhkawng tuilak cungawh ak awm hawh, ce a lawng ing cet unyng.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Sirakuse khaw na thoeng unyng saw, cawh ce khaw thum voei awm unyng.
13 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,
Ce a khaw awhkawng cet tlaih bai unyng saw Rhegium khaw pha bai unyng. A khawngawi nyn awh kham benna kaw khaw ce hli law nawh cawhkaw a khawngawi nyn bai awh Puteoli khaw ce pha unyng.
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
Ce a khaw awh koeinaakhqi thlang vang ce awm uhy, a mingmih ing khaw khqih nyn awm pyi aham kaimih ce nik khy khqi uhy. Cawhkawng ce Rom khaw na cet unyng.
15 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.
Cawhkaw amik awm koeinaakhqi ing kaimih law hy ti aming zaak cawh, Appia hun awhkaw ik-oeih zawihnaak ingkaw savang im pakthum a awmnaak hun dyna kaimih ce ni do khqi uhy. Cawhkaw thlangkhqi ce Paul ing a huh awh Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn nawh ang ngaih qep hy.
16 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.
Rom khaw ka mi pha awh, Paul taw qalkap pynoet ing doen nawh amah poek awh awm thainaak ce pe uhy.
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. 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,
Khaw thum voei a awm coengawh Paul ing Juda thlang sawikungkhqi ce khy hy. Cekkhqi boeih ce ami law awh, Paul ing cekkhqi venawh: “Koeinaakhqi, nik thlangkhqi ing ami nu pa a phung ak kalh na ikaw awm am sai hlai nyng, Jerusalem khaw awh nim tu unawh Romkhqi kut awh ni pe uhy.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Cekkhqi ing awi a mini deng awh thihnaak khoek na thawlhnaak ikaw am ka sai dawngawh hlah aham ni ngaih uhy.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Cehlai Judakhqi ing am ngaih unawh, Kaisara a ven pha aham kai ing thoeh nyng. Kak thlangkhqi ak khan awh thawlh puk aham amni.
20 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.”
Vawh nangmih mi hu qu unawh awi kqawn aham nik khy khqi nyng. Israelkhqi ang ngaih-unaak awh ni kai ve thiqui ing khih na ka awm,” tina hy.
21 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.
Cekkhqi ing, Nang akawng awh ce Judah nakawng capat am hu unyng, cekcoengawh ce nakawng amik law koeinaa u ingawm nang a seetnaak ikaw ap kqawn hlan uhy.
22 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.”
Cehlai nang a huhnaak ikawmyihna a awmnaak tice zaak aham ngaih unyng, a hun hoei awhkaw thlangkhqi ingtaw vawhkaw thlangboel ak thai na ak awm ve ak che ngai na kqawn uhy,” tina uhy.
23 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 Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
Khaw hypoet awh Paul ing hqum aham awi amik kqawn awh, Paul a awmnaak im awh thlang khawzah ce law uhy. Mymcang awhkawng khawmy dy na cekkhqi venawh Khawsa qam awithang leek ce ak kqawn peek awh Mosi a anaa awi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ak cauk awhkawng Jesu akawng ce aming zaksimnaak aham kqawn pek khqi hy.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Ak awihkqawn awhkawng thlang a vang ingtaw am cang na uhy.
25 When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
A mimah ce oelh qu unawh, a hukhit na Paul ing vawhkaw awi ve ak kqawn awhtaw voei uhy: “Ciim Myihla ing nami pakdamkhqi venawh Isaiah hawnaak ing awitak ce vemyihna anak kqawn hy:
26 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.
Ve thlangkhqi venawh cet nawhtaw, Za hlai voei uk ti am zasim kawm uk ti; hu hlai voei uk ti, am hat kawm uk ti.
27 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.’
ikawtih vekkhqi ak kaw ve qep aih nawh; aming hakhqi ingawm am za thai uhy, ami mik ce him uhy. Cemyih am mantaw hu kawm usaw, za kawm uh, kawlung ing zasim kawm usaw hlat kawm uh, cawh kai ing qoei sak khqi hy kawng,’ tihy.
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
Cedawngawh Gentelkhqi venawh Khawsa a hulnaak ce pha hawh nawh, a mingmih ing ngai kawm uh, tice nami sim aham ngaih nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
Ve ak awi ak kqawn awh, Judakhqi ce a mimah ingkaw a mimah aming oelh qu doena cet uhy.
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
Khaw kum hih khui cawh ce Paul ing im vat nawh awm hy. A venna ak law thlangkhqi boeih ce ak nep cana do hy.
31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
