< Acts 18 >
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Masigi matungda Paul-na Athens thadoklaga Corinth-ta chatlammi.
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
Pontus-ta pokpa Aquila kouba Jihudi nupa ama mahakna thengnarammi. Ningthourel Claudius-na Jihudi pumnamak Rome thadoktuna chatnaba yathang pibagi maramna mahak amadi mahakki nupi Priscilla-ga loinana Italy-dagi ikui kuidana mapham aduda lakpani. Paul-na makhoibu unaba chatlammi.
3 and because he practised the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Makhoiga sinpham manaba maramna mahakna makhoiga leiminnaduna thabak suminnarammi. Makhoigi sinphamdi phiyum sabani.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Potthaba numit khudinggi mahakna synagogue-ta chattuna khanna neinarammi aduga Jihudising amadi Greek-ki misingbu thajahannaba hotnarammi.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Silas amadi Timothy-na Macedonia-dagi thunglarabada, Paul-na mahakki matam pumnamak pao sandokpada pirammi, mahakna Jisudi Christta aduni haiduna Jihudisingda sakhi pirammi.
6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
Adubu makhoina mahakki maiyokta leptuna ikaiba piraklabada mahakna mahakki maphi kanthoktuna makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoigi ee nasagi kokthakta tasanu! Eigidi iran leitre. Houjiktagi houna eihak Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggi maphamda chatlagani.”
7 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Maram aduna mahakna makhoibu thadoklamlaga Jihudi phurupki mi nattaba Titius Justus kouba Tengban Mapu ningba nupa adugi yumda leinaba chatlammi. Mahakki yum adu synagogue-ka thangnana leirammi.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were immersed.
Synagogue adugi luchingba Crispus amadi mahakki imung manung pumnamak Mapu Ibungobu thajarammi. Aduga Corinth-ki mi mayam amanasu Paul-na sandokpa adu tabadagi thajaduna baptize lourammi.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
Nongma ahing amada uhanbiba amada Mapu Ibungona Paul-da hairammi: “Kiganu, haiba lepkanu, tuminna leiganu,
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Maramdi eina nahakka loinari. Aduga mi kana amatana nangbu sok palhanba ngamloi, maramdi sahar asida eigi mi yamna lei.”
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God amongst them.
Maram aduna Paul-na mapham aduda chahi amaga makhai leiduna misingda Tengban Mapugi wa tambirammi.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgement seat,
Gallio-na Achaia-gi leingak mapu oiringeida Jihudisingna makhoi amata oina pullaga Paul-bu phaduna wayel sangda puraklammi.
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
Maduda makhoina hairak-i. “Eikhoigi wayel yathanggi onna teinabada Tengban Mapubu khurumgadabani haina nupa asina misingbu themmi.”
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
Paul-na wa ngangge hek toubaga Gallio-na Jihudisingda hairak-i, “Masi karigumba aranba nattraga yamna phattaba thabak tourambagi oiramlabadi nakhoina hairiba adu eina tabagi maram charamgadabani.
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
Adubu masi waheigi amasung ming amadi nakhoi Jihudisinggi wayel yathanggi maramda yetnaba oibanina nakhoi nasel yanaba punajarak-u. Asigumba hiramsing asigi wayenba ei oiroi.”
16 So he drove them from the judgement seat.
Adudagi mahakna makhoibu wayel sangdagi tanthokkhre.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgement seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
Adudagi makhoi pumnamakna synagogue-ki luchingba Sosthenes-pu pharaga wayel sang adugi mamangda phurammi. Adubu Gallio-na maduda karisu thousaramde.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Matam khara Paul-na thajabasingga loinana Corinth-ta leirammi adudagi mahakna Priscilla amadi Aquila-ga loinana Syria-da hi tongduna chatlammi. Mahakna hi tongduna Cenchreae thadoktringeida mahakna sakkhiba wasak amagidamak mahakki maru kokthoklammi.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Makhoina Ephesus-ta thunglabada mapham aduda Paul-na Priscilla amadi Aquila thanamlaga mahakna synagogue-ta changduna Jihudisingga khanna neinarammi.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Mising aduna mahakpu makhoiga matam kharaga makha tana leithabinaba haijarammi adubu mahakna yaramde.
21 but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
Adubu mahakna chatlamdaida makhoida hai, “Tengban Mapugi aningba oirabadi ei nakhoigi nanakta amuk lakkani.” Adudagi mahakna Ephesus-tagi hi tongduna chatkhre.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Mahakna Caesarea-da thunglabada mahakna Jerusalem-da chattuna singluppu unaruraga Antioch-ta chatlammi.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
Mapham aduda matam khara leiramlaga mahakna Galatia amadi Phrygia-gi lamsingda mathang mathang chattuna thajaba pumnamakpu panggal kankhat-hanbirammi.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Matam aduda Alexandria-da pokpa Apollos kouba Jihudi nupa ama Ephesus-ta laklammi. Mahak wa ngangba heiba amadi Mapugi puyabu ningthina khangba nupa ama oirammi.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Yeshua, although he knew only the immersion of Yochanan.
Mahak Mapu Ibungogi lambigi maramda tambiraklaba amani aduga mahakna misingda thawai yaona amadi chumna Jisugi maramda nganglammi amadi tambirammi. Adubu mahak John-na baptize touba aduta khanglammi.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Synagogue-ta mahakna thouna phana ngangba hourammi. Mahakna ngangba adu Priscilla amadi Aquila-na tarabada mahakpu makhoigi yumda purammi aduga makhoina mangonda Tengban Mapugi Lambi adugi maramda henna chumna sandokna takpirammi.
27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
Adudagi Apollos-na Achaia-da chatnaba leplammi, maram aduna mahakpu mateng pangba oina Ephesus-ta leiba thajabasing aduna Achaia-da leiba thajabasingda mahakpu taramna okpinaba irammi. Mahakna mapham aduda thungbada Tengban Mapugi thoujalgi mapanna thajakhraba makhoising aduda mahak yamna mateng oirammi.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Maramdi miyam mamangda yetnabada Jisudi Christtani haina mahakna Mapugi puyadagi uttuna Jihudisingbu maithiba pirammi.
