< Acts 16 >

1 Then came he to Derba and to Lystra. And beholde a certayne disciple was there named Timotheus a womans sonne which was a Iewas and beleved: but his father was a Greke.
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.
2 Of whom reported well the brethren of Lystra and of Iconium.
Anih taw Lustra ingkaw Ikonium khaw awhkaw koeinaakhqi ing a mim kyih thlang pynoet na awm hy.
3 The same Paul wolde yt he shuld goo forth with him and toke and circumcised him because of the Iewes which were in those quarters: for they knewe all that his father was a Greke.
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.
4 As they went thorow ye cities they delyvered the the decrees for to kepe ordeyned of the Apostles and elders which were at Ierusalem.
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.
5 And so were the congregacions stablisshed in the fayth and encreased in noumbre dayly.
Cedawngawh thlangboelkhqi ce cangnaak awh tai unawh pung khqoet khqoet uhy.
6 When they had goone thorow out Phrigia and the region of Galacia and were forbydde of the holy gost to preach the worde in Asia
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.
7 they came to Misia and sought to goo into Bethinia. But the sprete soffered the not.
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.
8 Then they went over Misia and cam doune to Troada.
Cedawngawh Musia qam ce kan unawh Troas khaw na nu cet uhy.
9 And a vision appered to Paul in ye nyght. There stode a man of Macedonia and prayed him sayinge: come into Macedonia and helpe vs.
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.
10 After he had sene ye vision immediatly we prepared to goo into Macedonia certified yt the lorde had called vs for to preache the gospell vnto them.
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.
11 Then lowsed we forth from Troada and with a strayght course came to Samothracia and the nexte daye to Neapolim
Troas khaw awhkawng tuicunli awh lawng ing Samothrace khaw na cet unyng, cawhkawng a khawngawi awh Neapolis na cet poe unyng.
12 and from thence to Philippos which is the chefest citie in ye partes of Macedonia and a fre cite. We were in that cite abydynge a certayne dayes.
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.
13 And on the saboth dayes we went out of the cite besydes a ryver where men were wont to praye and we sate doune and spake vnto the wemen which resorted thyther.
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.
14 And a certayne woman named Lydia a seller of purple of the cite of Thiatira which worshipped God gave vs audience. Whose hert the Lorde opened that she attended vnto the thinges which Paul spake.
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.
15 When she was baptised and her housholde she besought vs sayinge: Yf ye thinke that I beleve on the Lorde come into my housse and abyde there. And she constrayned vs.
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.
16 And it fortuned as we went to prayer a certayn damsell possessed with a sprete that prophesied met vs which brought her master and mastres moche vauntage with prophesyinge.
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.
17 The same folowed Paul and vs and cryed sayinge: these men are the servauntes of the most hye God which shewe vnto vs the waye of salvacion.
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.
18 And this dyd she many dayes. But Paul not cotent turned about and sayd to the sprete: I commaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.
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.
19 And when her master and mastres sawe yt the hope of their gaynes was gone they caught Paul and Sylas and drue the into the market place vnto the rulars
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.
20 and brought them to the officers sayinge: These men trouble oure cite which are Iewes
Cekqawi ce awidengkung a venna sawi unawh, “Vekqawi ve Juda phyn qawi ni, ni khaw na law nih nawh awipungnaak sai hy nih,
21 and preache ordinaunces which are not laufull for vs to receave nether to observe seinge we are Romayns.
ningmih Rom thlangkhqi ing sai hly kawi am ingkaw do hly kawi am phung alamkhqi sai sak aham kqawn hy nih,” tina uhy.
22 And the people ranne on them and the officers rent their clothes and comaunded them to be beaten with roddes.
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.
23 And when they had beaten them sore they cast them into preson comaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely.
Cekqawi ce ak tlo na ami vyk coengawh, thawngim na thla uhy, ak nep na doen aham thawngim ak qehkung ce awi pe uhy.
24 Which iayler when he had receaved suche comaundment thrust them into the ynner preson and made their fete fast in the stockes.
Cawhkaw awipeeknaak amyihna anih ing cekqawi ce thawngim khui ak kaina ak thlak coengawh khawceh byn sak qawi bawk hy.
25 At mydnyght Paul and Sylas prayed and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them.
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.
26 And sodenly ther was a greate erth quake so that ye fonndacion of the preson was shaken and by and by all the dores opened and every mannes bondes were lowsed.
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.
27 When the keper of ye preson waked out of his slepe and sawe the preson dores open he drue out his swearde and wolde have kylled him selfe supposynge the presoners had bene fledde.
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.
28 But Paul cryed with a lowde voyce sayinge: Do thy selfe no harme for we are all heare.
Cehlai Paul ing, “Namah ingkaw namah koeh sai qu! Kaimih vawh awm boeih unyng!” tina hy.
29 Then he called for a lyght and sprange in and came tremblynge and fell doune before Paul and Sylas
Cawh thawngim ak qehkung ing mai a vang sak coengawh thawngim khuina dawng nawh Paul ingkaw Sila a haiawh thyn doena khyk sym pehy.
30 and brought them out and sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saved?
Cekkqawi ce thawngim a ceng na a sawi qawi coengawh, “Bawipa qawi, hulna ka awmnaak aham ikaw ka sai kaw?” tina qawi hy.
31 And they sayde: beleve on the Lorde Iesus and thou shalt be saved and thy housholde.
Cekkqawi ing, “Bawipa Jesu ce cangna nawhtaw, cawhtaw namah ingkaw na ipkhuikaw boeih hul na awm kawm uk ti,” tina hy nih.
32 And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lorde and to all that were in his housse.
Cekcoengawh cekqawi ing Bawipa ak awi ce anih ingkaw a ipkhuikaw boeih a venawh kqawn pe hy nih.
33 And he toke them the same houre of the nyght and wasshed their woundes and was baptised with all that belonged vnto him strayght waye.
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.
34 Whe he had brought them into his housse he set meate before them and ioyed that he with all his housholde boleved on God.
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.
35 And when it was daye the officers sent the ministres sayinge: Let those men goo.
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.
36 The keper of ye preson tolde this sayinge to Paul the officiers have sent worde to lowse you. Now therfore get you hence and goo in peace.
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.
37 Then sayde Paul vnto them: they have beaten vs openly vncomdempned for all yt we are Romayns and have cast vs into preson: and now wolde they sende vs awaye prevely? Naye not so but let them come the selves and set vs out.
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.
38 When the ministres tolde these wordes vnto the officers they feared when they hearde that they were Romayns
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.
39 and came and besought them and brought them out and desyred them to departe out of the cite.
Law unawh cekqawi a venawh qeennaak ami thoeh coengawh hlah uhy, ce a khaw ce cehtaak aham cekqawi a venawh qeennaak thoeh uhy.
40 And they wet out of ye preson and entred into the housse of Lidia and whe they had sene the brethren they comforted them and departed.
