¹When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

¹Huan, amaute toh ka kikhen ua, longin ka pawt ua, huai khitin tangtakin Kos tuikulh ka tung ua, huan, a jingin Rodi tuikulh ka tung nawn ua, huai akipanin ka pai jel ua, Patara khua ka tung ua.

²Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.

²Huan, Phinisia gam kai ding long khat ka mu ua, ka tuang ua, ka pai jel ua,

³When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

³Huan, Kupra tuikulh ka mu ua, veilam pangah ka kheng ua, Suria gam lamah ka pai jel ua, Tair khua ah ka kumta dih ua; huaiah long van nawn khiak ding ahi a.

⁴Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

⁴Huan, nungjuite ka zongkhia ua, huaiah ni sagih ka tam ua; huan, amau Kha hilhin, Paula kiangah, Jerusalem khua tot louh ding chih, a chi ua.

⁵When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.

⁵Himahleh, huai ni khitin ka pawt ua, ka paita ua, unauten a vek un, a ji a tate utoh dainawl phain hongkha ua; huan, tuipi geiah ka khukdin ua, ka thum uhi.

⁶After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

⁶Huan, Mangpha, ka kikhak ua, long ah ka tuang ua, amau bel a in uah a pai nawnta uh.

⁷When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.

⁷Huan, Tair khua akipan longa ka pai khit un Tolemai khua ka tung ua, unaute chibai ka buk ua, a kiang uah ni khat ka nituang uh.

⁸On the next day, we, who were Paul’s companions, departed, and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

⁸Huan, a jingin ka pawt ua, Kaisaria khua ka tung ua, huan, Tanchin Hoih genpa, Philip in ah ka lut ua, amah tuh sagihte laka khat ahi a, a kiangah ka tam ua.

⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

⁹Huai miin tanu li a neia, nungak siangthou ahi ua, Pathian thu a gen jel uhi.

¹⁰As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

¹⁰Huan, huaiah ni tampi tak ka tam ua, huai lain Judia gam akipan a min Agaba jawlnei khat a hongsuk a.

¹¹Coming to us, and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

¹¹Huan, ka kiang uah a honga, Paula kawnggak a la a, a khete, a khutte amahin a kigaka, huan, Jerusalem khua a Judaten hichi bangin hiai kawnggak neipa a gak ding uh, Jentelte khut ah a pe lai ding uhi, Kha Siangthouin a chi hi, a chi a.

¹²When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

¹²Huan, huai thu ka jak tak un, kou leh huai khua a miten Paula Jerusalem khua a hohtou lou dingin ka ngen chiat ua.

¹³Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

¹³Huan, Paulain, a dawnga, Bangchi na hi ua, na kahlah uh, na honkhasiatsak uh? Toupa Jesu min jiakin Jerusalem khua a hen kia hilouin, sih leng ka ngap ahi, a chi a.

¹⁴When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”

¹⁴Huan, khem zoh vual ahih louh takin, Toupa thuthu hi heh aw, ka chi ua, ka tawpta uhi.

¹⁵After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁵Huan, huai nungin ka van uh ka bawl ua, Jerusalem khua ah ka hohtou ua.

¹⁶Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

¹⁶Kaisaria khua a mi nungjuite kuate hiam, ka kiang uah a pai ua, amau, a min Mnason, nungjui masa pawl Kupra tuikulh a mi khat ka tuna dingpa uh a pi sam uhi.

¹⁷When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.

¹⁷Huan, Jerusalem khua ka tun uh unauten nuam takin a honna kipahpih ua.

¹⁸The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.

¹⁸A hingin Paula toh Jakob kiangah ka lut ua; huaiah saptuam upate tengteng leng a om uh.

¹⁹When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.

¹⁹Huan, Paulain amau chibai a buk khitin, a nasepna zanga Pathianin Jentelte laka thil a hihsak peuhmah anen ahamin a gena.

²⁰They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.

²⁰Huan, unauten huai thu a jak un Pathian a pahtawi uh; huan Paula kiangah, Unaupa, Judate laka gingta mi tamdan na mu a; a vek un dan tungah phatuam a ngai lai uhi;

²¹They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.

²¹huan, nang Jentelte laka Juda omte tengteng kiangah a tate uh zeksum louh ding leh, dan banga om louh ding, chiin, Mosi paihkhiakna ding na thuhilh jel chih mi kam ah na thu a thei uh.

²²What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.

²²Bangchi hita ding ahia le? Na hongtung chih a za ngal ding ua.

²³Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.

²³Huaijiakin na kianga ka gen bang un hihin; Thuchiam nei pasal li ka kiang uah a om ua;

²⁴Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.

²⁴huai mite piin la, a kiang uah kisiangsak sam inla, a sam uh a met theihna ding un amau din sum sengin; huchiin, mi tengtengin, mi kama na thu a jak teng uh; chihtak ahi kei chih a thei ding ua, nangmah mah Dan zomin kichian takin na om jaw chih a thei ding uhi.

²⁵But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”

²⁵Jentelte laka gingtate thu jaw, milim biakna thil neklam ah, sa sisan neklam ah, sa heklup nek lam ah, kingaihlam khawng akipanin a kihulsak ding uh ahi, chiin, ka gen ua, ka gelhta uhi, a chi ua.

²⁶Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

²⁶Huan, a jingin Paulain pasalte a pia, a kiang uah a kisiangsaka, Pathian biakin ah a luta, amau dia sa goh chiat ding a piaksak masiah kisiansakna ni a nei phot ding uh ahi chih, siampu kiangah a hilh a.

²⁷When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

²⁷Huan, ni sagih a chin dekdek takin Asia gama Judaten Pathian biakin ah Paula a mu ua, mipi tengteng a hasuan ua, amah a man ua, a kikou ua..

²⁸crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place!”

²⁸Israel mite aw, honghuh un! Hiai mi, gam tenga mi tengteng kianga, Juda mite, dan te, hiai inte khawng gensepa ahi; huai lou leng, Pathian biakin ah Grik mite a lutpiha, hiai in siangthou a hihbuah khin ahi, a chi ua.

²⁹For they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

²⁹Huai main khua ah Ephesa khua a mi Trophima a kiangah a mu ua, Paulain huai mi Pathian biakin ah a lutpih a gingta uhi.

³⁰All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

³⁰Huan, a khuain a kissing kheukhou ua, mite khawng a tai khawm ua; Paula a man ua, Pathian biakin akipan a kaikhia ua; kongkhakte a khak pah ngal uhi.

³¹As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

³¹Huan, amah hihlup a tup laitak un Jerusalem khua a mi tengteng a buai uh chih sepaih pawl heutu lalpen kiang a tungtou a.

³²Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.

³²Huan, aman sepaihte leh sepaih za heutute a pi pah ngala, a kiang uah a tai suk ua; huan, amau heutu lianpen leh sepaihte a muh tak un Paula vuak a tawpta uhi.

³³Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

³³Huan, heutu lalpenin a honnaiha, Paula a lena, khainiang nih butsak ding thu a pia a; kua ahia a hih a, bang ahia a hih, a dong a.

³⁴Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.

³⁴Huan, mipi lakah a khen thu khatin a kikou ua, a khen thu dangin a kikou uh; huan, buai jiakin a dan a theikeia, kulha pilut thu a pia hi.

³⁵When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

³⁵Huan, Paula kellei a tun lain mipi ahiamgam jiak un sepaihten amah a domkang jel uhi;

³⁶for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”

³⁶Mi tengtengin, hihmangthang un, chia kikouin, a jui huthut ngal ua.

³⁷As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?

³⁷Huan, Paula tuh kulhpi a a pilut dek laitak un, aman, sepaih heutu lalpe kiangah, na kiangah thu kam khat ka gen thei diam? a chi a.

³⁸Aren’t you then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”

³⁸Huan, aman, Grik pau na thei maw? Tuma a mite hasuana, mihing suamte sang li gamdaia pi heap Aigupta mi na hi kei maw? a chi a.

³⁹But Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”

³⁹Paulain Juda mi, Silisia gama Tarsa khua a mi ka hi, kho namai a om ka hi kei; honhehpih inla, mi tengteng kiangah thu hon gensakin, a chi a.Huan, a lemsak takin, kellei ah Paula a dinga, mi tengteng daihna dingin a khutin a japa; huan, a daih duamtak un Hebru pauin a kiang uah,

⁴⁰When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

⁴⁰Huan, a lemsak takin, kellei ah Paula a dinga, mi tengteng daihna dingin a khutin a japa; huan, a daih duamtak un Hebru pauin a kiang uah,
