1And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.
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:
2To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony.
2anih loe Lystra hoi Ikonium vangpui ih nawkamyanawk mah pakoeh ih kami ah oh.
3Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
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.
4And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.
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.
5And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.
5To pongah kricaabunawk tanghaih bangah cak o moe, nithokruek kami pung o.
6And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
6Asia prae ah lokthuih hanah Kacai Muithla mah pakaa pae pongah, Phrygia hoi Galatia prae ah caeh o poe.
7And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
7Mysia prae a phak o pacoengah, nihcae loe Bithynia prae ah caeh han amsak o: toe Muithla mah caehsak ai.
8And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
8To pongah nihcae loe Mysia prae to poeng o moe, Troas vangpui ah caeh o tathuk.
9And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
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.
10And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
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.
11And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;
11Troas hoiah katoengah Samothracia vangpui khoek to ka caeh o, khawnbangah loe to ahmuen hoi Nepolis ah ka caeh o.
12And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together.
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.
13And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.
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.
14And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.
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.
15And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
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.
16And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.
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:
17This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.
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.
18And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.
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.
19But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.
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.
20And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;
20Nihnik to lokcaekkung khaeah hoih o moe, Hae Judah kami hnik loe, aicae vangpui hanah raihaih paek hoi,
21And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.
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.
22And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22To naah nihnik boh hanah paroeai kaminawk angthawk o: lokcaekkungnawk mah nihnik ih khukbuen to khringh pae o moe, nihnik boh hanah lokpaek o.
23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.
23Nihnik boh o pakpalak pacoengah, thongim thungah pakhrak o, nihnik to thongim thungah kahoihah toep hanah thongim toepkung khaeah thuih pae o.
24Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
24To tiah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, thongim toepkung mah nihnik to thongim athung koekah suek o moe, a khok thlongthuk pae o.
25And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.
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.
26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
26Akra ai ah talih hnawh moe, thongim to anghuenh: thongim thoknawk amongh boih moe, kaminawk boih ih sumqui to angkhram pae.
27And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
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.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.
28To naah Paul mah, Nangmah hoi nangmah anghum hmah: kaicae loe haeah ni ka oh o boih, tiah tha hoi hang.
29Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
29Thongim toepkung loe hmai paaang moe, thongim thungah akun, Pawl hoi Silas ih khokkung ah tasoehhaih hoiah tabok pae,
30And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
30nihnik to thongim tasa bangah a caeh haih moe, Patukkung hnik, Pahlonghaih ka hnuk hanah timaw ka sak han? tiah a naa.
31But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
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.
32And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
32Nihnik mah Angraeng ih lok to anih hoi angmah ih imthung takoh boih khaeah thuih pae hoi.
33And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
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.
34And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
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.
35And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
35Khawnbang khodai naah loe, lokcaekkungnawk mah, nihnik to prawt hanah thongim toepkung khaeah kami patoeh.
36And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart, and go in peace.
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.
37But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now do they thrust us out privately? Not so; but let them come,
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.
38And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.
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.
39And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.
39Nihcae loe angzoh o moe, nihnik khaeah tahmenhaih hnik o pacoengah prawt o; to vangpui to tacawt hoi taak hanah a thuih pae o.
40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
40Thongim thung hoi tacawt hoi pacoengah Lydia im ah a caeh hoi; nawkamyanawk hoi angqum o moe, thapaekhaih lok thuih pacoengah a caeh hoi.
