1Te phoeiah Derbe neh Lustra khaw a pha. Te vaengah hnukbang pakhat, a ming ah Timothy tah tapkhoeh om. Anih tah Judah nu uepom neh a napa Greek hoel kah a capa ni.
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.
2Lustra neh Ikonium kah manuca rhoek loh anih te a oep uh.
2The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3Anih te Paul loh amah neh caeh puei a ngaih. Tedae te rhoek hmuen ah Judah rhoek khaw om tih a napa khaw Greek ni tila boeih a ming uh dongah anih te a khuen tih yahvin a rhet pah.
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.
4Kho takuem la a pah rhoi vaengah Jerusalem kah caeltueih rhoek neh a ham rhoek loh a tloek oltloek te ngaithuen ham khaw amih taengah a pak pah rhoi.
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.
5Te dongah hlangboel rhoek loh tangnah dongah cak uh tih hnin takuem ah hlangmi loh pungtai.
5So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6Phrygia neh Galatia paeng a hil rhoi vaengah Asia ah olka thui sak ham Cim Mueihla loh a mah.
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.
7Musia a pha uh vaengah Bitunia la caeh ham khaw a noem uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Jesuh Mueihla loh hlah pawh.
7And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
8Te dongah Musia a poeng vaengah Troas la suntla uh.
8So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9Khoyin ah a mangthui loh Paul taengla a phoe pah. Te vaengah Makedonia hlang pakhat loh pai tih anih te a hloep. Te phoeiah, “Makedonia la ha hlaikan lamtah kaimih m'bom lah,” a ti nah.
9During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10Mangthui a hmuh nen tah Makedonia la aka cet ham ni pahoi a toem coeng. Amih taengah olthangthen thui ham Pathen loh kaimih n'khue tila a cului.
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.
11Te dongah Troas lamkah Smothrace la thaeng kat rhoi. A vuen ah kho thai la,
11We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
12te lamkah te Philipi la pawk uh. Philipi he Rom kuthmui kho khuiah Makedonia khosa kho tanglue la om. Tekah kho ah ka om uh vaengah khaw a tue bet ka loh uh.
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 hnin ah vongka la voelh ka cet uh tih tuiva kaengah thangthuinah om ni tila ka poek uh. Te phoeiah ka ngol uh tih huta aka tingtun rhoek taengah ka thui pa uh.
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.
14Te vaengah huta pakhat, a ming ah Lydia, Thyatira kho kah daidihni aka yoi tih Pathen aka bawk long khaw a hnatun. Paul loh a thui te ngaithuen hamla Boeipa loh a thinko a puk sak.
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.
15Tedae a imkhui long khaw a nuem sak. Te dongah, “Boeipa taengah uepom la om ham kai nan boelh uh atah ka im ah ha kun uh lamtah pah uh dae,” a ti tih n'hloep uh. Te phoeiah kaimih te tlal n'hloh.
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.
16Te vaengah thangthuinah la ka cet uh tih hmayuep rhai aka khueh salnu pakhat tah kaimih doe hamla ha moe. Anih long te a hma neh boei rhoek ham bi muep a coeng pah.
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.
17Anih loh Paul neh kaimih te n'hloem tih, “Hekah hlang rhoek tah Khohni Pathen kah sal rhoek pai ni. Amih long ni nangmih taengah khangnah longpuei a doek uh,” a ti tih pang.
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!”
18Te tlamte hnin takuem a saii coeng. Tedae Paul loh a yakdam dongah rhai te a mael thil tih, “Nang he Jesuh Khrih ming neh ol kan paek, anih lamloh cet laeh,” a ti nah hatah amah te vaeng tue ah pahoi nong.
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.
19A bibi kah ngaiuepnah loh tal coeng tila a boei rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah Paul neh Silas te a tuuk uh tih hnoyoih hmuen kah boei rhoek taengla a mawt uh.
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.
20Amih rhoi te imtawt boei taengla a thak uh tih, “Hekah hlang rhoi loh kho khuikah aka om Judah rhoek, kaimih he n'ngaelawn coeng.
20They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21Roman la aka om kaimih loh doe ham aka tueng pawt tih saii pawt koi khosing te a doek rhoi,” a ti uh.
21by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22Te dongah amih rhoi te hlangping loh a thoh thil. Te vaengah imtawt boei rhoek loh a himbai te a phen pah tih boh ham ol a paek.
22The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
23Amih rhoi te lucik neh muep a nan phoeiah thongim ah a hlak uh tih, amih te rhep tawt ham thong boei te a uen.
23And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
24Tebang olpaek aka dang loh amih rhoi te thongim khui la a khueh tih a kho te thinglong neh a khoh pah.
24On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25Tedae ihdulh ah Paul neh Silas loh thangthui neh Pathen a hlai rhoi te amih thongtla rhoek long khaw a hnatun uh.
25About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26Te vaengah lingluei te muep hinghuen tarha tih thongim kah khoengim khaw hlinghloek. Te dongah thohka te boeih ong uh tarha tih hlang boeih kah hloong khaw boeih hlam uh.
26Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
27Thong boei loh a haenghang vaengah thongim thohka a ah la a om te a hmuh. Te dongah cunghang te a yueh tih amah te ngawn uh la cai. Thongtla rhoek te poenghal ham ni a poek coeng.
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.
28Tedae Paul tah ol ue la pang tih, “Namah te thae saii boeh. Boeih ka om uh ngawn ta he,” a ti nah.
28But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
29Hmaivang a bih tih a muk phai. Te vaengah a thuen neh om tih Paul neh Silas te a bakop thil.
29Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30Tedae amih rhoi te voelh a lamhma phoeiah, “Boeipa rhoi aw, daem hamla ka saii koinih balae a kuek eh?” a ti nah.
30Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31Amih rhoi long khaw, “Boeipa Jesuh te tangnah lamtah namah neh na imkhui khaw na daem bitni,” a ti nah.
31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32Te vaengah anih neh a im khuikah aka om rhoek boeih taengah Boeipa olka te a thui pah.
32Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
33Te daengah amih rhoi te a khuen tih amah khoyin tue ah boengha te a pawt pah. Te phoeiah amah neh a taengkah boeih te pahoi a nuem.
33At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
34Te phoeiah amih rhoi te im la a khuen tih caboei a phaih pah. Te dongah Pathen aka tangnah loh a imko te ko a hoe sak.
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.
35Khothaih a pha vaengah imtawt boei loh palik a tueih tih, “Tekah hlang rhoi te hlah laeh,” a ti nah.
35When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
36Te dongah thong boei loh Paul taengah, “Nangmih hlah ham imtawt boei loh n'tueih uh coeng. Te dongah coe lamtah ngaimong la cet rhoi laeh, “ti ol te a puen pah.
36The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
37Tedae amih te Paul loh, “Roman hlang la aka om kaimih he lungla maila langya ah m'boh uh tih thongim khuiah nan ng'khueh uh he a huep la kaimih n'haek uh aya? Te moenih, amamih ha lo uh saeh lamtah kaimih he n'doek uh saeh,” a ti nah.
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!”
38Hekah ol he palik rhoek loh imtawt boei taengah a puen pa uh. Tedae amih rhoi te Roman hlang ni tila a yaak uh vaengah a rhih uh.
38So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
39Te dongah ha lo uh tih amih rhoi te a hloep uh. Te phoeiah a doek uh tih kho khui lamkah nong sak ham a hloep uh.
39They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
40Te dongah thongim lamloh cet rhoi tih Lydia taengla kun rhoi. Te vaengah manuca rhoek te a tong tih a hloep phoeiah cet rhoi.
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.
