Acts 16
1 Paul went on to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a disciple named Timothy was there. He was the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his 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 He was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.
Lystra le Iconium a om suapui te in Timothy sia phatson mama uh hi.
3 Paul wanted this man to go on with him, so he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they 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 As they went through the cities, they delivered the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem for the Gentile believers to obey.
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 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in number every day.
Tua ahikom pawlpi te upna sung ah kho uh a, nisim in khang uh hi.
6 Then Paul and his companions went through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit from speaking 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 When they reached Mysia, they tried to go on toward Bithynia, but the Spirit did not allow them.
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 So passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.
Taciang amate Mysia ngam kantan uh a, Troas theng uh hi.
9 During the night Paul had a vision. A Macedonian man was standing there, urging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!”
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 After Paul saw the vision, we immediately endeavored to go on to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to 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 So we set sail from Troas and followed a straight course to Samothrace, and on the next day we went to Neapolis.
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 From there we went on to Philippi, which is a Roman colony and a leading city of that district of Macedonia. We stayed in that city for several 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 On the Sabbath day we went outside the city to a riverside, where it was customary for there to be prayer. We sat down and began speaking to the women who had gathered 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 One of those listening to us was a woman named Lydia. She was a worshiper of God from the city of Thyatira and a seller of purple cloth. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying.
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 After she was baptized, along with her household, she urged us, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come stay at my house.” And she persuaded us to do so.
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 One day, as we were on our way to prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination. She had brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.
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 She followed along behind Paul and us and kept crying out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us 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 She kept on doing this for many days, and Paul became so annoyed that he turned and said to the spirit, “I command yoʋ in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very 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 When her masters saw that their hope for profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, dragged them to the marketplace, and set them before the authorities.
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 After bringing them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are seriously disturbing our city. They are Jews,
Taciang ulian te kung ah paipui a, hi Judah mite in i khuapi nasiatak in buaisak hi,
21 and they are proclaiming customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice.”
Ko Rome mite in ka san thei ngawl uh le ka zui ngawl uh ngeina te hil hi, ci uh hi.
22 The crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their garments off them and ordered them to be beaten 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 After inflicting many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them under close guard.
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 When he received this order, he put them in the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Thu a vaithak thonginn cingpa in, thonginn doi sung ah khumsuk a, a peang te peangkol bul in koi hi.
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
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 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors opened, and all the chains came loose.
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 Then the jailer was awakened, and when he saw that the doors of the prison were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, assuming that the prisoners had escaped.
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 cried out with a loud voice, “Do yoʋrself no harm, for we are 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 Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell down trembling before 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 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Taciang amate pusua a, ka topa te awng, ngupna nga natu in bang ka vawt tu ziam? ci hi.
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and yoʋ will be saved, yoʋ and yoʋr household.”
Amate in, Topa Jesus Christ um in a, nangma le na innkuanpui te ngupna na nga tu uh hi, ci uh hi.
32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his household.
Taciang Paul le Silas te in amate a innsung a om te theampo tung ah Topa thuhil uh hi.
33 He then took them in that hour of the night and washed their wounds. Then he was baptized at once, along with his entire household.
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 After bringing Paul and Silas into his house, he set a meal before them. And he rejoiced, along with his entire household, because he had come to believe 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 When daybreak came, the magistrates sent their officers, saying, “Release those men.”
A zingciang in, ulian te in palik mang te sawl a, tua mihing te pusua vun, ci hi.
36 So the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent orders for you to be released. Therefore come out now and go 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 to them, “They beat us in public without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and they threw us into prison. And now they are sending us away secretly? Certainly not! Rather, let them come and escort us out themselves.”
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 So the officers reported these words to the magistrates, and the magistrates were afraid when they heard that the men were Roman citizens.
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 So they came and spoke to them in a conciliatory manner. As they escorted them out, they begged them to leave 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 So Paul and Silas came out of the prison and went to Lydia's house. And after seeing the brothers and encouraging them, they departed.
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.
