After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
3 Pawluh cun, acu xawia veia phaki, acunüng, ami bi tängkia kyase, ani veia ve lü, ani veia khüikawm hngaki; ami bi cun jih im saka kyaki.
and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 Sabbath naküt üng sinakoka yet na kcang lü ngthu pyen khawi lü, Judahe ja Krike jah yah khaia büki.
He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 Tilah ja Timoti cun Maketawniha üngka naw pha law ni lü, Pawluh cun a kcün naküt üng Judahe veia Jesuh cun Mesijah ni ti lü ngthu jah mthehki.
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people."
7 Acun üngka naw citki cun, Tihtuh Jastas ngming nakia ima phaki, acun cun Pamhnam jumki, a im pi sinakoka peia kyaki.
He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Acunüng, Kripuh, sinakoka ngvai naw, a khuiim khyawng lawng ami van naw Bawipa jumei law u se, Korintuh khyang khawhae naw pi ngja u lü jumei law hnga u lü, Baptican khankie.
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9 Mthana Bawipa naw mdannak üng, Pawluha veia, “Käh kyühei lü, ngthu na pyen cän käh hjaüha;
The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
10 kei na hlawnga ka veki ni, ning hui khaia u naw am ning pawh; hina mlüh üng, ka khyang khawha ka taki ni” a ti.
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
11 Pawluh cun, acua ami veia Pamhnama ngthu jah mthei lü, kum mät ja khya khyuk veki.
He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Acunüng, Kalio, Akaijah mlüha sangpuxang Romah naw a mcawn üng, Judahe naw atänga Pawluh man u lü, junga cehpüikie.
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 “Hin khyang naw, käh nglawi khaia Mhnam jum vaia khyang ksük lü thum lümkanki” ami ti.
saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
14 Pawluh naw a pyen law hlü üng, Kalio naw Judahea veia, “Judahe aw, hin hin am dawki ja mkhyekatnak a pawh a nia ta, acinglinga ka ning jah ngaih pet vai sü;
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
15 acunsepi, ngthu nami ngcuh, ngming he ja nami thumea ngkhawa kya üng ta, namimät naw pyensa ua; kei acuna ngkhaw ka cijang vai am täng veng” a ti.
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."
16 Acunüng, jung üngka naw, ami van a jah ksät.
He drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Krike naw, sinakok ngvai Soten mankie naw, junga maa kpai u se, Kalio naw acun cun ia pi am ngai.
Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.
18 Acun käna Pawluh cun khawvei ve lü; acun käna Korintuha jumeikie cun thangkdaw am jah ngtaipüi lü, acun üngka naw Siria da mlawng am citki, a veia Priscilah ja Akuilah cit hngaki xawi; Pawluh naw ajana sitih ana taka mäiha Kenkirih mlüha a lusam kteih petki.
Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 Ephet mlüha pha u se, acua anini cun jah hawih hüt lü, amät sinakoka k'uma lut lü, Judahea jah ngthähngkhyah püiki.
They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Khawvei ve khaia ami nghuinak, acunsepi am yü.
When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
21 “Pamhnam naw a hlüeia akyak üng nami veia ka law be khai ni” tia, thangkdaw am jah ngtaipüi lü, Ephet üngka naw mlawng am citki.
but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Ketarih a pha üng, Jerusalema jäng cit lü, sangcime cun a jah hnukset; acun käna Antiok mlüha cit beki.
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
23 Acua khawvei a ve käna cit be lü, jumeikie ngjuktha jah pe lü, Kalatih hne ja Pharikih hne avan üng cit hüki.
Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Judah khyang mat, Aleksandria mlüha hmiki, Apawluh ngming naki, Ephet mlüha lawki; ani cun pyensak yah lü Cangcim aktäa ksingkia kyaki.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 Ani cun Bawipa Mawnglam ngthei pängkia kya se, yet na kcang lü, Jesuha mawng kcang aktäa xena lü jah mtheimthangki, acun se pi Johana Baptican däk va ksingkia kyaki.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Acunüng, sinakoka lingnak kcang am ngthu pyen law se, acua Priscilah ja Akuilah naw a ngthu pyen ngja ni lü, ani ima khüki xawi naw, a veia Pamhnama Mawnglam cun ngsing ngai khaia ani mtheh.
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Apawluh cun, Akaijah khawa cit khaia ngtängse, Epheta veki jumeikie naw ami na dokhamnak vaia, jumeikie naw ca yu u lü ami cehsak. Acunüng, a va pha üng Pamhnama bäkhäknak am jumeikie cun aktäa jah kpüikpaki.
When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
28 Jesuh cun Mesijaha kyaki tia mawng cun Judahe jah ngcuhngkaih püi lü Cangcim üngka jah mdang lü khyange aktäa a jah näng.
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
