Acts 18
1 After that, Paul left Athens [city] and went to Corinth [city].
Erah lih dophi, Pool Ethen nawa Korin ni wangta.
2 There he met a Jew whose name was Aquila, who grew up in Pontus [province]. Aquila and his wife Priscilla had recently come from [Rome, in] Italy. [They had previously left Rome] because Claudius, [the Roman Emperor], had ordered that all the Jews must leave Rome. Paul later went to see Aquila and Priscilla.
Erah ni Jehudiite wasiit Akuila ngeh ih chomuita, heh Poontus ni tup arah angta, nengnyi heh minuh Prisilla ah langla, Luuwanglong Kladius ih Room hah nawa Jehudi loong ah dokphan rum kano erah ngangah ih Itali nawa ra nyuutaha. Eno Pool ah erah nyi damdi,
3 Those two made tents [to earn] ([money/a living]). Paul also made tents, so he stayed with them, and they all worked together.
ngunbi suh nok roonghoon waktong wangta, tiimnge liidi Pool uh nengnyi likhiikkhiik ih hetui hewok raang ih nok hoon nawa ngun kabiita.
4 Every Sabbath, Paul [went] to the Jewish meeting place, where he spoke forcefully to both Jews and non-Jews. He repeatedly tried to persuade them [that Jesus is the Messiah].
Pool Jehudi rangsoomnok ni Naangtongsa rookweh Jehudi nyia Grik damdi roongwaan leh kataat nuune rumta.
5 Then Silas and Timothy arrived there from Macedonia province. After they arrived, Paul [did not make tents any more. He] used all his time preaching [the message about Jesus in the Jewish meeting place]. He continued to tell the Jews [that] the Messiah they had been waiting for was Jesus.
Mesidonia nawa Silas nyia Timothi ah thoknyu kano, Pool ih saapoot ah saarookwet Rangte tiit baat suh kota, Jehudi loong suh Jisu juuba Kristo ngeh ih baat rumta.
6 But the Jews began to oppose Paul and to say evil things about him. So he shook [the dust from] his clothes [to show them that they were displeasing God. Then] he said to them, “If God punishes you, it will be your [SYN] own fault [MTY], not mine! From now on I will go [and preach] to non-Jewish people!”
Mina loong ah ih ethih ethih jeng rum ano Pool suh liirum kano, neng jeng daan lakbi ah heh nyuh dowa botla ah jaabuh ano li rumta, “Sen mat e an bah sen teeteewah suh joong an! Nga mat tah angka, Arah dophi bah ngah Ranglajatte taangko ih kah ang.”
7 So Paul left [the Jewish meeting place] and went into a house that was next to it, [and preached there]. Titius Justus, the owner of the house, was a non-Jewish man who had accepted what the Jews believe.
Erah lih adi neng re dowa doksoon kah ano, Ranglajatte mina Rangte rangsoomte ih hoon arah, heh men Taitias Justus kapoon rumta nok ni tong kata; heh nok ah Jehudi rangsoomnok reeni angta.
8 [After that], the ruler of the Jewish meeting place, [whose name was] Crispus, and all of his family [MTY] believed in the Lord [Jesus]. Many other people in Corinth who listened [to Paul] also believed [in Jesus]. Then they were baptized. [But there were people who still opposed Paul and his preaching].
Kispus ah Jehudi rangsoomnok ni mihak phokhoh angta, heh teewah nyia heh jaatang loongtang Teesu hanpiite ang rumta; Korin ni uh Rangte jengkhaap ah chaat rum ano hanpiite rapne ih dong ano ju ah tem ih rumta.
9 One night Paul had a vision in which the Lord [Jesus] said to him, “Do not be afraid [of those who oppose you]. Instead, you should continue speaking [to people about me]. Do not stop,
Pheesiit Pool suh motmang ni heh Teesu ih baatta, “An nakcho uh, erah nang ebah larit haat thang ih baat ba jangbaat theng,
10 because I [will help] you, and no one will be able to harm you [(sg) here. Keep telling people about me], because there are many in this city who will [believe in] me.”
timnge liidi an damdi ngah eje. O ih uh tajen thet haatru; samnuthung adi nga mih rapne ih je ah.”
11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching people the message from God [about Jesus].
Erah raangtaan ih Pool paangsiit paangthom tongthiin ano, mina loong asuh Rangte Jengkhaap ah nyootsoot thiin rumta.
12 When Gallio was the [Roman] governor of Achaia [province], the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there got together and seized Paul. They took him before Gallio [and accused him],
Akaia hah ni Gallio ah, Room nawa kobono angta doh, Jehudi loong lomkhoon rum ano, Pool ah joh ih rumta; eno mat hoon thengni siitkaat rumta.
13 saying, “This man is teaching people [a false religion, leading them] to worship God in ways that are contrary to our [Jewish] laws.”
“Arah mih” rah ih seng “Hootthe ni lajeeka rah Rangte rangsoom thuk suh miloong asuh laatbaat rumha!”
14 When Paul was about to speak [MTY] [to defend himself], Gallio said to the Jews, “If this man had acted deceitfully or disobeyed [any of our Roman] laws, I would listen [patiently] to what you Jews [want to tell me].
Pool ah jeng ih ang ngeh taat thun adi Gallio ih Jehudi loong asuh liita, “Arah matthih changkhah tiit ang dobah, Ngah ih mat ah hoon etheng tang Jehudi noksong loong.”
15 However, you are merely arguing about words and names and your own [Jewish] laws, so you yourselves need to resolve this. I refuse to judge these things!”
Enoothong, sen loong ah jengkhaap thoidi nyia sen Hootthe tungdi ba daanmui lan, erah tiit abah sensen ih hoonjih. Arah likhiik ah ngah ih tapaat korumra!”
16 After Gallio [had said that], he [commanded some soldiers/guards] that [they] expel those [Jewish leaders] from the courtroom.
Eno matpaat theng nawa phanhaat rumta.
17 Then [the mob outside] grabbed the leader of the Jewish meeting place, Sosthenes [because they considered that he was responsible for those accusations against Paul]. They beat him, right there in front of the courthouse. But Gallio did nothing about it.
Erah lih adi Jehudi rangsoomnok dowa mihak phokhoh, Sosthens ah joh rum ano mat hoon theng nokka adi nobuh rumta. Enoothong tiim ih rum abah uh Gallio ah tasoot saamta.
18 Paul stayed on with the believers in Corinth for (many days/some time). Then he left the believers there, and went with Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila. They went down to Cenchrea, [a port city]. There Paul had his head shaved {[someone] shave his head} in order to partially complete a vow that he had taken. Then they got on a ship and sailed for Syria [province].
Hanpiite loong damdi Pool Korin hani rekamdook tongthiinta, eno Prisilla nyia Akuila damdi Siria ni juulam ih daan soon wangta. Seneria ni maang daansoon kaadi, heh ih thoomhoon thoidi heh khoh ah suihaat eta.
19 They arrived at Ephesus [city], and Priscilla and Aquila stayed there. [Before Paul left Ephesus], he entered the Jewish meeting place and lectured to the Jews.
Ephesas ni thokrum ano, Pool ih Prisilla nyi Akuila ah thiinhaat ih nyuuta. Pool Jehudi rangsoomnok ni kah ano, Jehudi loong damdi roongwaan kata.
20 They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
Miloong ah ih rekam tongthiin taatbaat rumta, eno Pool tanookta.
21 But, as he left, he told them, “I will come back, if God wills/desires [me to do that].” Then, [because he wanted to be in Jerusalem to finish completing his vow], he got on [a ship that] sailed from Ephesus.
Erah nang ebah Pool ih kaat elang ngeh ih baatthiin rum ano amah jeng thiinta, “Rangte tenthun mongtham ang abah sen jiinnah we ngaakwang ehang.” Erah baat rum ano Ephesas nawa juulam ih daansoon kata.
22 When the ship arrived at Caesarea, Paul [got off. He] went up [to Jerusalem] and greeted the believers there. Then he went back down to Antioch [city in Syria province].
Pool Kaisiria ni thok ano, Jerusalem chaas ni kata, eno jengseera ano, Entiok ni wangta.
23 Paul spent some time [with the believers] there. Then he left Antioch and traveled to several towns [that he had visited previously] in Galatia and Phrygia [provinces]. He taught all of the believers more [of the message from God about Jesus].
Erah ni chomroe tongthiin ano, Galitia nyia Phrigia hah lam ih wang ano chaankot jengkhaap ah hanpiite loong asuh jeng koh thiinta.
24 [While Paul was traveling in Galatia and Phrygia], a Jewish man whose name was Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria [city]. He [spoke eloquently] and he knew the Scriptures thoroughly.
Erah tokdi Korin Jehudi mih wasiit, heh men ah Apollos, erah warah Alejandria ni tup dowa, eno Ephesas ni ra taha. Heh tiitwah loong angta eno Rangte Jengkhaap uh jat eta.
25 [Other believers] had taught him [some things] about how the Lord [Jesus desires that people] should conduct themselves, and he taught those things very enthusiastically [to people. He had heard about] some of the things that Jesus did and said, and he taught those facts accurately [to people. However, he was teaching incompletely about Jesus, because] he knew only what John [the Baptizer had taught people whom he] baptized.
Teesu lampo ni khoom suh heh renbaat choi nyia nyootsoot choi angta, erah thoidi Jisu thoilam ah naririh ih nyootsootta. Erabah uh, heh ih Joon Juutem luulu ba jatta.
26 Apollos went to the Jewish meeting place, and he told the people there very confidently the things that he had learned. When Priscilla and Aquila heard what Apollos taught, they invited him [to their home]. There they explained more accurately to him the way [that] God [gives people eternal life].
Heh Jehudi rangsoomnok ni lacho laphaan ih phang jengkongta. Prisilla nyia Akuilla ih heh jeng ah chaat nyu ano, nengnyi damdi nok ni siitwan nyuuta, eno Rangte lampo ah rapniine ih hukbaat nyuuta.
27 When Apollos decided that he would like to go to Achaia [province], the believers in Ephesus told him that it would be good for him to do that. So they wrote a letter to the believers [in Achaia saying that they] should welcome Apollos. [So Apollos got on a ship to go to Corinth]. After he arrived, he greatly helped those whom [God] had kindly enabled to believe [in Jesus].
Erah lih adi Apollos Akaia ni kaat chungta, erah raangtaan ih Ephesas dowa hanpiite loong ah ih Akaia nok hah suh rapniine ih sokboi an ngeh ih le ah raangmaat ih rumta. Apollos thokkhoom ano, Rangte minchan di kristaan loong ah raangtaan ih neng moot chosok suh rapne ese angta.
28 Apollos was vigorously arguing publicly with [the leaders of] the Jews while many other people listened. [By quoting] from the Scriptures, he proved to people that Jesus was the Messiah.
Tiimnge liidi, Apollos ah Jehudi loong damdi rapne daanmui ano Rangteele nawa ih Jisu ah Kristo ngeh ih jatthuk rumta.
