Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Cekcoengawh, Paul ing Atheni khaw ce cehta nawh, Korin khaw na cet hy.
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,
Ce a khaw awh, Akuila ak mingnaak Juda phyn pynoet ce hu hy, anih taw Pontus thlang na awm nawh, a zu Prikilla ingqawi Italy nakawng anik law thaai na awm hy nih. Klaudia ing Juda thlangkhqi boeih Rom awhkawng a hqek khqi dawngawh cekqawi awm law lawt hy nih. Cekqawi a venna Paul ce cet hy.
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Cekqawi awm anih amyihna hi im ak khquikung na awm lawt hy nih, cekqawi a venawh awm nawh bibi haih uhy.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Sabbath nyn hoei awh sinakawk na cet nawh Khawsak awi ce kqawn hy, Juda thlangkhqi ingkaw Greek thlangkhqi ce ak dawh ngai ngai aham ngaih hy.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Sila ingkaw Timote ce Makedonia awhkawng ani law awhtaw, Paul taw awithang leek doeng ni ak kqawn hawh hy, Juda thlangkhqi venawh Jesu taw Khrih ni tinawh kqawncaih pek khqi hy.
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!”
Cehlai Judakhqi ing Paul ce oelh unawh ami the ami khanaak awhtaw a mingmih ce a hi khawk sih khqi nawh, “Na mimah a thi ce na mimah a luk khan awh tla seh! Kai taw ka sai hly kawi boeih ce sai hawh nyng. Tuhkawng taw Gentelkhqi venna ni ka ceh hly hawh hy,” tinak khqi hy.
7 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Paul ing sinakawk ce cehta nawh ce a venawh ak awm Khawsa ak bawk Titia Justa a im na cet hy.
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.
Sinakawk ak temkung Krispa, ing a ipkhuikaw boeih ing Bawipa ce cangna uhy; cekcoengawh ak awih kqawn za nawh ak cangnaak Korin thlang khawzah ing baptisma hu uhy.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
Than oet awh huhsaknaak ing Bawipa ing Paul a venawh awi kqawn pehy: “Koeh kqih nawh, ang dym kaana awi ce kqawn poe.
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Kai na venawh awm nyng, nak khanawh u ingawm kut am nik thlak kawm uh; ve a khawawh thlang khawzah ta nyng,” ti hy.
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Cedawngawh ce a khaw awh Paul taw kumoet awm nawh, Khawsak awi ce cawngpyi hy.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Akhaia qam ukkung Gallio a awm awh, Judakhqi ing Paul ce cuuk sih unawh awidengkungkhqi venna sawi uhy.
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
“Ve ak thlang anaa awi ing ak kalh na Khawsa bawk aham thlang syk hy,” tina uhy.
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 ing awikqawn vang a ti awh, Gallio ing Judakhqi venawh, “Nangmih Judakhqi aw, veve amak thym awi mai aw thawlh saknaak mai aw na a awm man, a thanaak kana namik awi ve ning ngaih pek khqi voei nyng.
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.”
Cehlai namik awikhqi, mingkhqi ingkaw namik anaa awikhqi na a awm awhtaw namimah ing awitlyk uh; kai ing cemyih awikhqi ce tlyk ham am ngaih hy nyng,” ti hy.
16 So he drove them from the judgment seat.
Cedawngawh cekkhqi ce awidengnaak a hun awhkawng ceh sak khqi hy.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
Cawh cekkhqi ing sinakawk ak temkung Sosthen ce tu unawh, awidengnaak a haiawh ce vyk uhy. Cehlai Gallio ing cekkhqi ce am ngai am zaak nak khqi hy.
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.
Paul taw Korin khaw awh khawnghi iqyt nu awm hy. Cekcoengawh cawhkaw koeinaakhqi ce cehtaak khqi nawh Siria na ce lawng ing cet hy, Priskilla ingkaw Akuila ing bawng hy nih. Lawng ing a ceh hlanawh awi a taaknaak amyihna, Kenkhrea khaw awh a lu ce voh hy.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Ephesa khaw a mi pha law awh Paul ing Priskilla ingkaw Akuila ce cehta hy. Amah taw sinakawk na cet nawh Judakhqi venawh khawsak awi kqawn pehy.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Cekkhqi venawh khawqyt awm aham a mik kqawn peek awh, anih ing tha na hy.
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.
Cekkhqi ce a cehtaak khqi awh, “Khawsa ing tyng hy a ti awhtaw law tlaih bit kawng nyng” tinak khqi hy.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Cekcoengawh Ephesa khaw awhkawng lawng ing cet poe hy. Siria khaw a pha awh, hang cet nawh thlangboel ce kut a hang tlaih khqi coengawh Antiok khaw na ce nu cet poe hy.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
Antiok khaw awh khawnghi iqyt nu a awm coengawh ce ahun awhkawng Galatia qam ingkaw Phrygia qam khaw awh hun pynoet pynoet awh cet nawh hubatkhqi boeih ce thapeeknaak awi kqawn pehy.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Cawh Apollo ak mingnaak Juda phyn pynoet Alexandria thlang ce Ephesa na law hy. Anih taw awih kqawn ak thoem na awm nawh, cauk awi ak nep na ak sim thlang na awm hy.
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.
Anih taw Bawipa a lam awh cuukiik na awm hawh hy, Johan baptisma doeng ni a sim hyn hlai hy, thahly doena Jesu akawng ce ak caih na thlang cuuk am kiik hy.
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.
Sinakawk awh qaal leek doena awi kqawn hy. Priskilla ingkaw Akuilla ing anih ak awih kqawn ce a ning zaak awh anih ce im na khy nih nawh Khawsa a lam ce ak nep cana kqawn pe hy nih.
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;
Apollo ce Akhaia qam na ceh a ngaih awh koeinaakhqi ing anih ce tha pe unawh, cawhkaw amik awm hubatkhqi ing anih ce ami donaak aham ca qee pe uhy. Anih a pha awh am qeennaak ing ak cangnaak thlangkhqi aham anih taw tha ak pekung na awm hy.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Anih ingtaw a haiawh Judakhqi ce oelh khqi pheng pheng nawh, Jesu ce Khrih ni tinawh kqawn caih pehy.
