and, finding a certain Jew, by name Aquila, of Pontus by birth, —lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to be leaving Rome, he came unto them,
3 Tedae amih neh a thuivai la a om dongah amih taengah rhaeh tih a saii. Te dongah bungkhutnah daphuikung la om uh.
and, because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought, for they were tent-makers by their trade.
4 Sabbath takuem tunim ah a thuingong tih Judah rhoek khaw, Greek rhoek khaw a hloih.
And he began reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading both Jews and Greeks.
5 Silas khaw, Timothy khaw Makedonia lamkah ha suntlak vaengah Jesuh tah Khrih ni tila Judah rhoek taengah laipai puei ham Paul loh ol a boep sak.
When, however, both Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul began to be urged on in the word, bearing full witness unto the Jews that, Jesus, was, the Christ.
6 Tedae amih te a pakai tih a soehsal uh phoeiah himbai a khong uh. Amih te, “Na thii loh nangmih lu dongah tla saeh. Kai tah ka caih, tahae lamkah tah namtom taengah ka cet pawn ni,” a ti nah.
But, as they began opposing and defaming, shaking out his garments, he said unto them—Your blood, be upon your own head! Pure, am, I: henceforth, unto the nations, will I go.
7 Te dongah te lamloh thoeih tih Pathen aka bawk hlang pakhat, a ming ah Titu Justus im ah kun. Anih im tah tunim neh rhi uh tih om.
And, removing from thence, he came into the house of a certain man by name Titius Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was adjoining unto the synagogue.

But, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And, many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing, and being immersed.
9 Te vaengah Paul te khoyin ah boeipa loh mangthui tih, “Rhih boeh, thui ngawn lamtah paa boeh.
And the Lord said by night, through means of a vision, unto Paul—Be not afraid! but be speaking, —and do not hold thy peace;
10 Nang taengah ka om dongah nang aka nan tih nang aka hnaep ham khaw om mahpawh. He kho khuiah ka pilnam loh muep om pueng,” a ti nah.
Inasmuch as, I, am with thee, and, no one, shall set upon thee to harm thee; inasmuch as I have much people in this city.
11 Te dongah kum khat neh hla rhuk duem tih amih taengah Pathen kah olka te a thuituen.
And he remained a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12 Tedae Akhaia kah khoboei la Gallio a om vaengah Paul te Judah rhoek loh tun a pai thil uh tih laitloek ngolkhoel hmaila a khuen uh.
But, when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, set upon Paul, and led him unto the judgment-seat,
13 Te vaengah “Olkhueng te a kingkalh tih Pathen bawk ham anih loh hlang a yoek,” a ti uh.
saying—Contrary to the law, is this one seducing men to be worshipping God.
14 Paul khaw a ka ong ham a cai vaengah Judah rhoek te Gallio loh, “Boethae khat khat neh dumlai a thae la a om atah, Judah rhoek aw, ol vanbangla nangmih loh yaknaem uh saw.
But, as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews—If, indeed, it had been some wrong or wicked recklessness, O Jews, with reason, in that case, should I have been bearing with you.
15 Tedae na ol khaw, na ming khaw, olkhueng khaw dawtnah a om atah na sawt uh mako. Te soah laitloekkung la om ham ka ngaih pawh,” a ti nah.
If, however, they are questions concerning discourse, and names, and law, that which ye have, ye shall see to it, yourselves; A judge of these things, I, am not disposed to be.
16 Te dongah amih te ngolkhoel taeng lamloh a haek.
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
17 Hlang boeih loh tamtaeng Sosthene te a tuuk uh tih ngolkhoel hmaiah a boh uh. Tedae Glallio tah tekah te a ngaihuet pawh.
But they all, laying hold of Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, began to strike him before the judgment-seat; and, for none of these things, did Gallio care.
18 Paul khaw manuca rhoek taengah khohnin a sen om pueng tih a hlah uh phoeiah Syria la kat. Te vaengah anih te Priscilla neh Aquila loh a puei rhoi. Kenkhrea ah a lu a vok tih paipi a saii.
Paul, however, still further abiding a good many days with the brethren, bidding them adieu, set sail for Syria; and, with him, Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 Ephisa a pha vaengah amih te a caehtak. Tunim la kun tih Judah rhoek te a oelh.
And they came down to Ephesus; and, as for them, he left them there, —but, himself entering into the synagogue, he reasoned with the Jews.
20 Khohnin a sen om puei ham a hloep uh dae ngaih pawh.
And, when they requested him for a longer time to abide, he consented not;
21 Tedae a hlah uh thae vaengah, “Pathen loh a ngaih atah nangmih taengla koep ka bal bitni,” a ti nah tih Ephisa lamkah nong.
but, bidding them adieu, and saying—Again, will I return unto you, God willing, he sailed away from Ephesus;
22 A suntlak vaengah Kaiserea la yoeng tih hlangboel te kut a tuuk. Te phoeiah Antiok la pawk.
and, putting in at Caesarea, going up and saluting the assembly, went down unto Antioch;
23 Te vaengah a tue bet a loh tih aka yuel te Galatia kho neh Phrygia te patoeng a hil tih hnukbang rhoek te boeih a thoh.
and, spending some time, he went forth, passing through, in order, the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
24 Te vaengah Judah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Apollos, Alexandria namtu te om. Anih tah hlang calthai la om tih Ephisa a pha vaengah cacim dongah aka thai la om.
But, a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus, being, mighty, in the Scriptures.
25 Boeipa kah longpuei te a thuituen tangtae coeng dongah, mueihla thahlue neh a thui tih Jesuh kawng te khaeh khaeh a thuituen. Tedae Johan kah baptisma ni dawk a ming.
The same, had been orally taught the way of the Lord, and, being fervent in his spirit, began speaking and teaching accurately, the things concerning Jesus, —properly knowing, only the immersion of John.
26 Anih long khaw a tong tih tunim ah sayalh la a thui. A yaak uh vaengah anih te Priscilla neh Aquila loh a khuen tih Pathen kah a longpuei te tuektuek a saep sak.
The same, also began speaking boldly in the synagogue; and Priscilla and Aquila, hearing him, took him unto them, and, more accurately, expounded unto him the way of God.
27 Te vaengah Akhaia la cet tih manuca rhoek tanolh ham te a hue dongah anih aka doe ham hnukbang rhoek taengah caa a daek pah. A pha vaengah aka tangnah roek te lungvatnah neh muep a talong.
And, he being minded to pass through into Achaia, the brethren urgently wrote unto the disciples to welcome him, —who, arriving, was very useful unto them who had believed, with his gift;
28 Judah rhoek te rhaprhap a voek tih Jesuh tah Khrih ni tila cacim lamloh langya la a tueng sak.
for, with great force, began he confuting the Jews, publicly, shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was, the Christ.
