Acts 18
1 After these things, withdrawing from Athens, he came unto Corinth;
Acunüng Pawluh cun Aten mlüh üngka naw Korintuha citki.
2 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,
Acuia Akuilah ngming naki Judah khyang mat a hmuh, acun cun Pontasa hmikia kyaki. Sangpuxang Kalawdih naw Judahe naküt Romah hne üngka naw ami ceh vaia jah ktäm se, a khyu Priscilah am Itali üngka naw law thaiki xawia kyaki. Pawluh naw jah hmu khai citki.
3 and, because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought, for they were tent-makers by their trade.
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.
4 And he began reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Sabbath naküt üng sinakoka yet na kcang lü ngthu pyen khawi lü, Judahe ja Krike jah yah khaia büki.
5 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.
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.
6 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.
Acunsepi Judahe naw ma u lü ksenakiea kyase, Pawluh naw a suijih üngka mput kha lü ami veia, “Nami khyüh üng namimäta phäh ni, kei naw am mta na veng. Tuhkbäih khyangmjükceea veia ka cit khai” a ti.
7 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.
Acun üngka naw citki cun, Tihtuh Jastas ngming nakia ima phaki, acun cun Pamhnam jumki, a im pi sinakoka peia kyaki.
8 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.
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.
9 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;
Mthana Bawipa naw mdannak üng, Pawluha veia, “Käh kyühei lü, ngthu na pyen cän käh hjaüha;
10 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.
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.
11 And he remained a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
Pawluh cun, acua ami veia Pamhnama ngthu jah mthei lü, kum mät ja khya khyuk veki.
12 But, when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, set upon Paul, and led him unto the judgment-seat,
Acunüng, Kalio, Akaijah mlüha sangpuxang Romah naw a mcawn üng, Judahe naw atänga Pawluh man u lü, junga cehpüikie.
13 saying—Contrary to the law, is this one seducing men to be worshipping God.
“Hin khyang naw, käh nglawi khaia Mhnam jum vaia khyang ksük lü thum lümkanki” ami ti.
14 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.
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;
15 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.
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.
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Acunüng, jung üngka naw, ami van a jah ksät.
17 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.
Krike naw, sinakok ngvai Soten mankie naw, junga maa kpai u se, Kalio naw acun cun ia pi am ngai.
18 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.
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.
19 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.
Ephet mlüha pha u se, acua anini cun jah hawih hüt lü, amät sinakoka k'uma lut lü, Judahea jah ngthähngkhyah püiki.
20 And, when they requested him for a longer time to abide, he consented not;
Khawvei ve khaia ami nghuinak, acunsepi am yü.
21 but, bidding them adieu, and saying—Again, will I return unto you, God willing, he sailed away from Ephesus;
“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.
22 and, putting in at Caesarea, going up and saluting the assembly, went down unto Antioch;
Ketarih a pha üng, Jerusalema jäng cit lü, sangcime cun a jah hnukset; acun käna Antiok mlüha cit beki.
23 and, spending some time, he went forth, passing through, in order, the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
Acua khawvei a ve käna cit be lü, jumeikie ngjuktha jah pe lü, Kalatih hne ja Pharikih hne avan üng cit hüki.
24 But, a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus, being, mighty, in the Scriptures.
Judah khyang mat, Aleksandria mlüha hmiki, Apawluh ngming naki, Ephet mlüha lawki; ani cun pyensak yah lü Cangcim aktäa ksingkia kyaki.
25 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.
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.
26 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.
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.
27 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;
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.
28 for, with great force, began he confuting the Jews, publicly, shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was, the Christ.
Jesuh cun Mesijaha kyaki tia mawng cun Judahe jah ngcuhngkaih püi lü Cangcim üngka jah mdang lü khyange aktäa a jah näng.
