Acts 18
1 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Hathnukkhu, Pawl teh Athen kho hoi a cei teh Kawrin kho a pha.
2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
Hote hmuen koe Pontus ram e Judah tami buet touh Aguila a kâhmo. Rom siangpahrang Klaudias ni Judah taminaw pueng Rom kho hoi tâco hanlah kâ a poe dawkvah, Aguila teh Itali lahoi a yu Priscilla hoi Kawrin kho lah a yawng roi.
3 and he stayed and worked with them because they were tentmakers by trade, just as he was.
Pawl teh ahnimouh roi kâhmo hanlah a cei teh, thaw tawk e a kâvan dawkvah, ahnimouh roi hoi rei ao awh teh thaw a tawk van. A thaw tawk awh e teh rimkasakkung lah ao awh.
4 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
Pawl ni Sabbath hnintangkuem sinakok dawk a cangkhai teh, Judahnaw hoi Griknaw hah a pâkhueng.
5 And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
Silas hoi Timote teh Masidonia ram hoi a tho roi nah, Pawl ni Judahnaw koe Jisuh teh Khrih doeh tie kacailah a dei pouh.
6 But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Hatei Judah miphunnaw ni ahni teh a taran awh teh, a dudam awh navah, ahni ni angki a kathuek teh, nangmae thi teh nangmae lû dawk bawt seh. Kai teh ka hlout. Atu hoi teh Jentelnaw koe ka cei han toe atipouh.
7 So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
Hote hmuen koehoi a tâco teh Cathut ka bawk e Justus im vah a cei. Ahnie im teh sinakok teng vah ao.
8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.
Sinakok kaukkung Krispas hoi imthungkhunaw ni Bawipa teh a yuem awh dawkvah, Kawrin kho e kaawm e tami moikapap ni a thai awh teh a yuem awh dawkvah Baptisma a coe awh.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.
Tangmin buet touh teh Cathut ni vision lahoi Pawl koe, taket hanh, pou pâpho.
10 For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang hoi cungtalah ka o. Apinihai nang koevah rektapnae thosak mahoeh. Hete kho dawk kaie tami moikapap ao atipouh.
11 So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.
Hatdawkvah Pawl teh hote khopui dawk kum touh hoi thapa yung taruk touh ao. Ahnimanaw hah Cathut e lawk a cangkhai.
12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
Hatei, Gallio ni Akhaia ram dawk khobawi lungkângingcalah hoi a tawk nah Judahnaw ni Pawl a taran awh teh lawkcengnae tungkhung hmalah a tâcokhai awh.
13 “This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
Ahnimouh ni kâlawk hoi kâtaran lah Cathut bawk hane taminaw a pâkhueng telah ati awh.
14 But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
Pawl ni hai lawk dei hanlah a pahni a ang navah, Gallio ni Judahnaw koevah nangmouh Judahnaw kalan hoeh e lawk, nahoeh pawiteh kâdumkâyennae lawk buetbuet touh lah awm pawiteh kai ni na lawk ka ngai han.
15 But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
Hatei nangmae lawknaw, kâlawknaw, minnaw hoi ka kâkuen e lah awm pawiteh, namamouh roeroe ni na dei awh han. Kai teh hot patet e naw hah ka dei ngai hoeh atipouh teh,
16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
ahnimanaw hah lawkcengnae tungkhung koehoi a pâlei awh.
17 At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
Hattoteh sinakok ukkung Sosthenes hah a man awh teh, lawkcengnae tungkhung hmalah a hem awh. Hatei Gallio ni hotnaw hah banglahai ngai laipalah ao.
18 Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
Pawl teh Kawrin khovah tueng moikasaw ao hnukkhu a hmaunawnghanaw koevah ka dam lah atipouh teh, Siria ram lah long hoi a cei. Ahni hoi Priscilla hoi Aguila haiyah a cei van. Lawk a kam e patetlah Kenkhrea khovah a lû a ngaw.
19 When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
Hahoi Efisa kho a pha awh navah, hote hmuen koe Priscilla hoi Aguila teh a ceitakhai teh sinakok vah a kâen teh, Judahnaw hoi kamthang lawk a kâpankhai.
20 When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
Taminaw ni ahni teh hnin kasawlah o hanlah a dei awh ei, ngai pouh hoeh.
21 But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.
Cathut ngainae lah awm pawiteh, nangmouh koe hmalah bout ka tho han, ati pouh teh ahnimanaw kut a man hnukkhu Efisa kho hoi long hoi a tâco.
22 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.
Kaisarea kho a pha hnukkhu Jerusalem lah a takhang teh kawhmoun hah kut a man. Haw hoi Antiok kho a cei cathuk.
23 After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Pawl teh hote hmuen koe hnin kasawlah ao hnukkhu Galati hoi Frigia ramnaw pueng dawk a kâhlai teh a hnukkâbangnaw a cak sak.
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.
Hatnavah, Alexandria kho kaawm e Judah tami buet touh Apollos ati awh e Efisa khovah a tho. Ahni teh lawk dei ka thoum e hoi Cakathoung dawk athakaawm e lah ao.
25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
Ahni teh Bawipa e lamthungnaw a panue teh muitha koe lah thao laihoi Jisuh e kamthang hah taminaw koe a cangkhai. Hatei Jawhan e baptisma dueng doeh a panue.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him in and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Ahni teh sinakok vah taranhawi laihoi a pâpho. Priscilla hoi Aquila ni a lawk dei e a thai roi nah alouklah a hrawi teh Cathut e lawk hah kacaicalah a cangkhai roi.
27 When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
Apollos ni Akhaia ram lah a cei hane a ngai navah a hnukkâbangnaw ni, hote hmuen koe kaawm e a hnukkâbangnaw ni a dawn thai awh nahanelah, ca a thut pouh awh. Hawvah a pha toteh Cathut pahren lahoi ka yuem e moikapap a kabawp.
28 For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Jisuh teh Khrih lah ao tie hah kamcengcalah Cakathoung dawk kahawicalah a patue teh Judahnaw hah reprep a yue.
