Acts 18
1 After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
Acunüng Pawluh cun Aten mlüh üngka naw Korintuha citki.
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and [he] came to 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 occupation, he abode with them, and wrought (for by their occupation they were tent-makers)
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 reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Sabbath naküt üng sinakoka yet na kcang lü ngthu pyen khawi lü, Judahe ja Krike jah yah khaia büki.
5 And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews, [that] Jesus [was] 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 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said to them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads: I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
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 he departed thence, and entered into the house of a certain man named Justus, [one] that worshiped God, whose house joined close to the synagogue.
Acun üngka naw citki cun, Tihtuh Jastas ngming nakia ima phaki, acun cun Pamhnam jumki, a im pi sinakoka peia kyaki.
8 And Crispus the chief ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.
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 Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
Mthana Bawipa naw mdannak üng, Pawluha veia, “Käh kyühei lü, ngthu na pyen cän käh hjaüha;
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee: for I have many 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 continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Pawluh cun, acua ami veia Pamhnama ngthu jah mthei lü, kum mät ja khya khyuk veki.
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,
Acunüng, Kalio, Akaijah mlüha sangpuxang Romah naw a mcawn üng, Judahe naw atänga Pawluh man u lü, junga cehpüikie.
13 Saying, This [man] persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
“Hin khyang naw, käh nglawi khaia Mhnam jum vaia khyang ksük lü thum lümkanki” ami ti.
14 And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong, or hainous crime, O [ye] Jews, reason would that I should bear 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 But if it is a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look ye [to it]: for I will be no judge of such [matters].
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 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
Krike naw, sinakok ngvai Soten mankie naw, junga maa kpai u se, Kalio naw acun cun ia pi am ngai.
18 And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: 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 he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and 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 When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented not:
Khawvei ve khaia ami nghuinak, acunsepi am yü.
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed 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 when he had landed at Cesarea, and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
Ketarih a pha üng, Jerusalema jäng cit lü, sangcime cun a jah hnukset; acun käna Antiok mlüha cit beki.
23 And after he had spent some time [there], he departed and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening 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 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Judah khyang mat, Aleksandria mlüha hmiki, Apawluh ngming naki, Ephet mlüha lawki; ani cun pyensak yah lü Cangcim aktäa ksingkia kyaki.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism 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 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: Whom, when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him to [them], and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
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 when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he had come, helped them much who had believed through grace.
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 he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus was Christ.
Jesuh cun Mesijaha kyaki tia mawng cun Judahe jah ngcuhngkaih püi lü Cangcim üngka jah mdang lü khyange aktäa a jah näng.
