Berean Standard Bible
1Anih loe Derba ah caeh moe, to ahmuen hoiah Lystra ah caeh: khenah, to vangpui ah Timote, tiah ahmin kaom, a hnukbang kami maeto oh, amno loe tanghaih tawn Judah kami ah oh moe, ampa loe Grik kami ah oh:
1Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
2anih loe Lystra hoi Ikonium vangpui ih nawkamyanawk mah pakoeh ih kami ah oh.
2The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3Pawl mah anih to angmah hoi nawnto caeh haih poe han koehhaih tawnh; anih ih ampa loe Judah kami ni, tiah toah kaom Judahnawk boih mah panoek o pongah, anih to caeh haih moe, tangyat hin to a aah pae.
3Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4Nihcae loe vangpui maeto pacoeng maeto ah a caeh o moe, Jerusalem ah kaom patoeh ih kaminawk hoi kacoehtanawk mah sak ih pazui han koi daan to nihcae khaeah thuih pae o.
4As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5To pongah kricaabunawk tanghaih bangah cak o moe, nithokruek kami pung o.
5So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6Asia prae ah lokthuih hanah Kacai Muithla mah pakaa pae pongah, Phrygia hoi Galatia prae ah caeh o poe.
6After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
7Mysia prae a phak o pacoengah, nihcae loe Bithynia prae ah caeh han amsak o: toe Muithla mah caehsak ai.
7And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
8To pongah nihcae loe Mysia prae to poeng o moe, Troas vangpui ah caeh o tathuk.
8So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9Toah oh o nathuem ah aqum ah Pawl mah hnuksakhaih to amtueng pae; Macedonia kami maeto loe angdoet moe, kaicae abomh hanah Macedonia prae ah angzo ah, tiah tahmenhaih hnik.
9During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10Pawl mah to hnuksak ih hmuen hnuk pacoengah, Sithaw mah nihcae khaeah tamthanglok hoih thuih hanah ang kawk, tiah ka panoek o pongah, Macedonia ah caeh han kam sak o roep.
10As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11Troas hoiah katoengah Samothracia vangpui khoek to ka caeh o, khawnbangah loe to ahmuen hoi Nepolis ah ka caeh o.
11We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
12To ahmuen hoiah Macedonia prae thung ih kalen koek vangpui Philippi ah khok hoi ka caeh o: toah ni nazetto maw loe ka cam o.
12From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13Sabbath niah loe sakzong ih atawk baktiah lawkthuih hanah, vangpui hoiah ka tacawt o moe, tuipui zaeh ah ka caeh o; toah kang hnut o moe, toah amkhueng nongpatanawk khaeah lok ka thuih pae o.
13On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
14Toah kaicae ih lok tahngai, Thyatira vangpui ih, Sithaw bok Lydia, tiah ahmin kaom, kahni kamling kazaw nongpata maeto oh: Pawl mah thuih ih loknawk to talawk thai hanah, Angraeng mah anih ih palung to paongh pae.
14Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15Anih loe angmah hoi angmah ih imthung takoh kaminawk boih hoi nawnto tuinuemhaih hnuk pacoengah, Angraeng khaeah oep kaom ah khosah kami ah nang poek o nahaeloe, kai im ah angzo oh loe, cam o raeh, tiah kaicae to ang pacae.
15And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
16To pacoengah lawkthuihaih ahmuen ah ka caeh o naah, hmabang angzo han koi hmuen thui thaih taqawk tawn nongpata maeto ka hnuk o, anih mah hmabang angzo han koi hmuen thuihaih rang hoiah angmah ih angraeng hanah phoisa paroeai a hak pae:
16One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.
17to nongpata loe Pawl hoi kaicae hnukah angzoh moe, Hae kaminawk loe kaicae pahlonghaih loklam patuekkung, kasang koek Sithaw ih tamna ah oh o, tiah hangh.
17This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
18To nongpata mah ni paroeai thung to tiah thuih. Toe Pawl loe poeknawm ai pongah, anih khaeah angqoi moe, taqawk hanah Jesu Kri ih ahmin hoiah hae nongpata takoh thung hoi tacawt hanah, lok kang paek, tiah a naa. Akra ai ah ah anih takoh thung hoiah taqawk to tacawt roep.
18She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
19Toe anih ih angraengnawk mah phoisa hnukhaih loklam om ai boeh, tiah panoek o naah, Pawl hoi Silas to naeh o moe, hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ih ukkungnawk khaeah caeh o haih.
19When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
20Nihnik to lokcaekkung khaeah hoih o moe, Hae Judah kami hnik loe, aicae vangpui hanah raihaih paek hoi,
20They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21nihnik loe aicae Rom kaminawk mah, sak han koi ai hmuen hoi tapom han kakrah ai, khosakhaih atawknawk to patuk hoi, tiah a naa o.
21by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22To naah nihnik boh hanah paroeai kaminawk angthawk o: lokcaekkungnawk mah nihnik ih khukbuen to khringh pae o moe, nihnik boh hanah lokpaek o.
22The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
23Nihnik boh o pakpalak pacoengah, thongim thungah pakhrak o, nihnik to thongim thungah kahoihah toep hanah thongim toepkung khaeah thuih pae o.
23And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
24To tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, thongim toepkung mah nihnik to thongim athung koekah suek o moe, a khok thlongthuk pae o.
24On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25Pawl hoi Silas loe aqum ah lawkthuih hoi moe, Sithaw pakoehhaih laa to a sak hoi: nihnik mah sak ih laa to thongim krah kaminawk mah tahngaih o.
25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26Akra ai ah talih hnawh moe, thongim to anghuenh: thongim thoknawk amongh boih moe, kaminawk boih ih sumqui to angkhram pae.
26Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
27Thongim toepkung loe iihaih hoi angthawk naah, kam-ong thongim thoknawk to a hnuk; to naah angmah ih haita to aphongh moe, angmah hoi angmah anghum han thuih.
27When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
28To naah Paul mah, Nangmah hoi nangmah anghum hmah: kaicae loe haeah ni ka oh o boih, tiah tha hoi hang.
28But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
29Thongim toepkung loe hmai paaang moe, thongim thungah akun, Pawl hoi Silas ih khokkung ah tasoehhaih hoiah tabok pae,
29Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30nihnik to thongim tasa bangah a caeh haih moe, Patukkung hnik, Pahlonghaih ka hnuk hanah timaw ka sak han? tiah a naa.
30Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31Nihnik mah, Angraeng Jesu Kri to tang ah, to tih nahaeloe nangmah hoi nangmah ih imthung takoh boih pahlong ah om tih, tiah a naa hoi.
31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32Nihnik mah Angraeng ih lok to anih hoi angmah ih imthung takoh boih khaeah thuih pae hoi.
32Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
33To na aqum ah thongim toepkung mah nihnik bohhaih ahmaanawk to pasaeh pae; to naah angmah hoi angmah ih imthung takoh kaminawk boih tuinuemhaih hnuk o roep.
33At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
34Thongim toepkung mah nihnik to angmah ih im ah caeh haih moe, nihnik hma ah buh patoem pae; angmah hoi angmah ih imthung takohnawk boih mah Sithaw tang o boeh pongah, anghoehaih hoiah oh o.
34Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.
35Khawnbang khodai naah loe, lokcaekkungnawk mah, nihnik to prawt hanah thongim toepkung khaeah kami patoeh.
35When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
36To naah thongim toepkung mah Pawl khaeah, Nanghnik prawt hanah lokcaekkung mah kami patoeh boeh: to pongah vaihi tacawt hoih loe kamongah caeh hoi lai ah, tiah a naa.
36The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
37Pawl mah nihcae khaeah, Kaihnik loe Rom kami ah ni ka oh hoi, toe lokcaek ai ah kaminawk hma ah ang boh o moe, thongim thungah ang pakhrak o: vaihi kaihnik hae tamquta hoi caehsak han ih maw a koeh o? To tiah na ai ni, angmacae roe angzoh o pacoengah na prawt o nasoe, tiah a naa.
37But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
38To kaminawk mah to lok to lokcaekkungnawk khaeah thuih pae o: nihnik loe Rom kami ni, tiah nihcae mah thaih o naah a zit o.
38So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
39Nihcae loe angzoh o moe, nihnik khaeah tahmenhaih hnik o pacoengah prawt o; to vangpui to tacawt hoi taak hanah a thuih pae o.
39They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
40Thongim thung hoi tacawt hoi pacoengah Lydia im ah a caeh hoi; nawkamyanawk hoi angqum o moe, thapaekhaih lok thuih pacoengah a caeh hoi.
40After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
