Acts 16
1 And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek, —
Paul sia Derbe le Lystra theng uh hi: taciang, en vun, nungzui khat om a, a min sia Timothy kici hi, a nu sia Judah mi hi a, thu um mi a hihi; ahihang a pa sia Greek mi a hihi:
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
Lystra le Iconium a om suapui te in Timothy sia phatson mama uh hi.
3 The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek.
Timothy sia Paul in tonpui nuam ahikom in a vunteap tansak hi, banghangziam cile tua kiim a om Judah mite theampo in a pa sia Greek mi hi, ci he uh hi.
4 And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem ah sawltak te le upa te in zui tu in a khensat na thu sia, amate pai na khua tatuam ah ap uh hi.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
Tua ahikom pawlpi te upna sung ah kho uh a, nisim in khang uh hi.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Tu in amate Phrygia le Galatia ngamsung ah pai uh a a kantan zawk uh ciang in, Tha Thiangtho in Asia ngam ah Pathian thuhil tu in hong khak hi,
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
Mysia ngam a thet zawk uh ciang in, Bithynia ngamsung ah paisawm uh hi: ahihang Thaa in a pai tu uh oai ngawl hi.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
Taciang amate Mysia ngam kantan uh a, Troas theng uh hi.
9 And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: —A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying—Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!
Tua zan in Paul in mangmu hi; Macedonia mi khat ding a, Macedonia ah hongpai tan a, hong hu tan, ci in ngen hi.
10 Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them.
Paul in mang a mu zawkpo ciang in, Macedonia ah lungdamna thupha tangko tu in Topa in hong sam hi, ci thiangtak in tel ka hi uhkom, pai tu in ka hanciam uh hi.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
Tua ahikom Troas pan in ngunkuang taw ka pai uh a, Samotracia ah a tangtan in ka pai uh hi, taciang a zingciang in Neapolis ka theng uh hi;
12 and, from thence, unto Philippi, —which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days;
Tua mun pan in Macedonia ngamkhen sung pan khuapi lianbel Philippi ka theng uh hi, Philippi khua sia Rome te in ngamkeak in ukna ngam a hihi: tua khuapi sung ah tawlkhat sung ka om uh hi.
13 and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, —and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.
Sabbath ni in ngunhui khuapi ah ka pai uh hi, thunget na mun ah ka to uh a, hongpai numei te ka paupui uh hi.
14 And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul.
Taciang Lydia a kici Thyatira khua mi, puan sandup a zuak numei khat om a, ama sia Pathian bia khat a hihi: ama in Paul i thuhilna te ngai tu in Topa in a thinsung honsak hi.
15 And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying—If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Ama le a innkuanpui te tui a ki phum zawk uh ciang in, Topa tung ah muantak hi, ci in nong mu uh ahile, ka inn ah hongpai tavun a, taam tavun, ci in hong sam a, hong thum hi.
16 And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us, —who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining.
Thungen tu ka pai uh ciang in, a sung ah maisang thu sonkhol theina thaa nei a, a to te atu in dangka tampi a ngasak naseam numei no in hong muak hi:
17 The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying—These men, are servants of the Most High God, —who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.
Ama in Paul le kote nung pan in hongzui a, hi mite sia ngupna lampi hong lak tu a sangbel Pathian i sal te a hi uh hi, ci in au hi.
18 And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said—I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.
Taciang ama in hibang in ni tampi sung vawt hi. Ahihang Paul sia a thin-uk in le-et a, tua thaa kung ah, Jesus Christ min taw hi numei sung pan pusuak tu in thu kong pia hi, ci hi. Tuahun laitak lian in pusuak hi.
19 And, her masters, seeing that their hope of gain had gone out, laying hold on Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market-place, unto the rulers;
A to te in dangka tampi nga natu lametna om nawn ngawl hi, ci a mu uh ciang in Paul le Silas te man uh a, thukhen zum ulian te kung ah kai uh hi.
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
Taciang ulian te kung ah paipui a, hi Judah mite in i khuapi nasiatak in buaisak hi,
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
Ko Rome mite in ka san thei ngawl uh le ka zui ngawl uh ngeina te hil hi, ci uh hi.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;
Taciang mihonpi te hong ding tek in: ulian te in zong a puan uh eaukeaksak uh a, Paul le Silas te vel tu in thupia uh hi.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
Amate in nasiatak in a sat zawk uh ciang in, thonginn sung ah khia uh a, thong cing pa in phatak a cin natu in vaitha hi:
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
Thu a vaithak thonginn cingpa in, thonginn doi sung ah khumsuk a, a peang te peangkol bul in koi hi.
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
Zan laitak in Paul le Silas sia thungen uh a, Pathian pok na lasa khawm uh hi: taciang thongtak te in za uh hi.
26 And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, —so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.
Thakhatthu in zin nasiatak hong ling a, thong innbul te ki lok hi: tasia pociang in kongkha te a vekpi in ki hong siat a, a ki hen na uh theampo zong ki sut siat hi.
27 And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.
Thongcingpa hong khanglo a, kongkha te a ki hong a mu ciang in, thongtak te taisiat zo sa a, a namsau dok in, ama le ama ki tha sawm hi.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
Ahihang Paul ngingtak in au a, nangma le nangma ki vawtsia heak in: banghangziam cile ka vekpi in hi mun ah ka om nginge uh hi, ci hi.
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
Tua zawkciang in thongcingpa in mei ngen a, hong bingbung hi, taciang ling vadil kawm in hongpai a, Paul le Silas te mai ah bok hi,
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
Taciang amate pusua a, ka topa te awng, ngupna nga natu in bang ka vawt tu ziam? ci hi.
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
Amate in, Topa Jesus Christ um in a, nangma le na innkuanpui te ngupna na nga tu uh hi, ci uh hi.
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
Taciang Paul le Silas te in amate a innsung a om te theampo tung ah Topa thuhil uh hi.
33 And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot;
Tua zan in thongcingpa in amate pusua a, a liamma uh te silsak hi; taciang ama le a innkuanpui theampo tui ki phum pai uh hi.
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
Saul le Silas sia ama inn ah ciapui a, amate mai ah anlui hi, taciang ama le a innkuanpui theampo in Pathian um uh a, lungdam mama uh hi.
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
A zingciang in, ulian te in palik mang te sawl a, tua mihing te pusua vun, ci hi.
36 And the prison-keeper reported the words unto Paul—The magistrates have sent, that ye be let go. Now, therefore, going forth, be taking your journey in peace.
Taciang thongcingpa in Paul kung ah, ulian te in note sam tu in mi sawl hi; tua ahikom tu in pusuak vun a, thinnuamtak in pai vun, ci hi.
37 But, Paul, said unto them—Beating us, in public, uncondemned, men that are Romans, they thrust us into prison; —and, now, by stealth, are they thrusting us forth? Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out!
Ahihang Paul in amate tung ah, kote sia Rome ngammi ka hi uh hi, mawsiatna om ngawlpi kilangtak in hong sat a, thong hong taksak hi; tu in kuama heak ngawl in hong hawlkhia nuam ziam? hi thei ngawl hi; ahihang amate hongpai ta hen a hong suatak tahen, ci hi.
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
Taciang palik mang te in hi thu a ulian te kung ah son uh hi: taciang amate sia Rome ngam mi hi, ci a zak uh ciang in, ulian te patau mama hi.
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
Taciang amate hongpai uh a, Paul te thum uh hi, taciang suatak uh a, tua khuapi sung pan pusuak tu in sawl uh hi.
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
Amate sia thong sung pan pusuak uh ah, Lydia te innsung ah tum uh hi: taciang suapui te a mu uh ciang in heneam uh a, paikik uh hi.
