Caeltueih 18

1 Te phoeiah Athen lamloh nong tih tih Kawrin la pawk.

And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,

2 Te vaengah Pontus namtu, Judah hlang, a ming ah Aquila te a hmuh. Rom lamkah Judah rhoek te boeih nong sak ham Klaudius loh a uen dongah a yuu Priscilla neh Italy lamkah ha pai paek rhoi tih amih rhoi te a paan.

and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and his wife Priscilla—because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome—he came to them,

3 Tedae amih neh a thuivai la a om dongah amih taengah rhaeh tih a saii. Te dongah bungkhutnah daphuikung la om uh.

and because of being of the same craft, he remained with them, and was working, for they were tentmakers as to craft;

4 Sabbath takuem tunim ah a thuingong tih Judah rhoek khaw, Greek rhoek khaw a hloih.

and he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.

5 Silas khaw, Timothy khaw Makedonia lamkah ha suntlak vaengah Jesuh tah Khrih ni tila Judah rhoek taengah laipai puei ham Paul loh ol a boep sak.

And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

6 Tedae amih te a pakai tih a soehsal uh phoeiah himbai a khong uh. Amih te, “Na thii loh nangmih lu dongah tla saeh. Kai tah ka caih, tahae lamkah tah namtom taengah ka cet pawn ni,” a ti nah.

and on their resisting and slandering, having shaken [his] garments, he said to them, “Your blood [is] on your head—I am clean; from now on I will go on to the nations.”

7 Te dongah te lamloh thoeih tih Pathen aka bawk hlang pakhat, a ming ah Titu Justus im ah kun. Anih im tah tunim neh rhi uh tih om.

And having departed from there, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,

8 Te vaengah tamtaeng Krispu neh a imkhui pum loh Boeipa a tangnah. Kawrin kah rhoek long khaw a yaak uh vaengah muep a tangnah uh tih a nuem uh.

and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue believed in the LORD with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being immersed.

9 Te vaengah Paul te khoyin ah boeipa loh mangthui tih, “Rhih boeh, thui ngawn lamtah paa boeh.

And the LORD said through a vision in the night to Paul, “Do not be afraid, but be speaking and you may not be silent;

10 Nang taengah ka om dongah nang aka nan tih nang aka hnaep ham khaw om mahpawh. He kho khuiah ka pilnam loh muep om pueng,” a ti nah.

because I am with you, and no one will set on you to do evil [to] you, because I have many people in this city”;

11 Te dongah kum khat neh hla rhuk duem tih amih taengah Pathen kah olka te a thuituen.

and he continued a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

12 Tedae Akhaia kah khoboei la Gallio a om vaengah Paul te Judah rhoek loh tun a pai thil uh tih laitloek ngolkhoel hmaila a khuen uh.

And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord on Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

13 Te vaengah “Olkhueng te a kingkalh tih Pathen bawk ham anih loh hlang a yoek,” a ti uh.

saying, “This one persuades men to worship God against the Law”;

14 Paul khaw a ka ong ham a cai vaengah Judah rhoek te Gallio loh, “Boethae khat khat neh dumlai a thae la a om atah, Judah rhoek aw, ol vanbangla nangmih loh yaknaem uh saw.

and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked recklessness, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,

15 Tedae na ol khaw, na ming khaw, olkhueng khaw dawtnah a om atah na sawt uh mako. Te soah laitloekkung la om ham ka ngaih pawh,” a ti nah.

but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look [to it] yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things,”

16 Te dongah amih te ngolkhoel taeng lamloh a haek.

and he drives them from the judgment seat;

17 Hlang boeih loh tamtaeng Sosthene te a tuuk uh tih ngolkhoel hmaiah a boh uh. Tedae Glallio tah tekah te a ngaihuet pawh.

and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the judgment seat, and Gallio was not even caring for these things.

18 Paul khaw manuca rhoek taengah khohnin a sen om pueng tih a hlah uh phoeiah Syria la kat. Te vaengah anih te Priscilla neh Aquila loh a puei rhoi. Kenkhrea ah a lu a vok tih paipi a saii.

And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brothers, was sailing to Syria—and with him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas—having shorn [his] head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;

19 Ephisa a pha vaengah amih te a caehtak. Tunim la kun tih Judah rhoek te a oelh.

and he came down to Ephesus, and left them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue reasoned with the Jews:

20 Khohnin a sen om puei ham a hloep uh dae ngaih pawh.

and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,

21 Tedae a hlah uh thae vaengah, “Pathen loh a ngaih atah nangmih taengla koep ka bal bitni,” a ti nah tih Ephisa lamkah nong.

but took leave of them, saying, “It is necessary for me by all means to keep the coming celebration at Jerusalem, and again I will return to you—God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus,

22 A suntlak vaengah Kaiserea la yoeng tih hlangboel te kut a tuuk. Te phoeiah Antiok la pawk.

and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having greeted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

23 Te vaengah a tue bet a loh tih aka yuel te Galatia kho neh Phrygia te patoeng a hil tih hnukbang rhoek te boeih a thoh.

And having stayed some time, he went forth, going successively through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24 Te vaengah Judah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Apollos, Alexandria namtu te om. Anih tah hlang calthai la om tih Ephisa a pha vaengah cacim dongah aka thai la om.

And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus;

25 Boeipa kah longpuei te a thuituen tangtae coeng dongah, mueihla thahlue neh a thui tih Jesuh kawng te khaeh khaeh a thuituen. Tedae Johan kah baptisma ni dawk a ming.

this one was instructed in the way of the LORD, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the LORD, knowing only the immersion of John;

26 Anih long khaw a tong tih tunim ah sayalh la a thui. A yaak uh vaengah anih te Priscilla neh Aquila loh a khuen tih Pathen kah a longpuei te tuektuek a saep sak.

this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them], and more exactly set forth to him The Way of God,

27 Te vaengah Akhaia la cet tih manuca rhoek tanolh ham te a hue dongah anih aka doe ham hnukbang rhoek taengah caa a daek pah. A pha vaengah aka tangnah roek te lungvatnah neh muep a talong.

and he resolving to go through into Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, helped them much who have believed through grace,

28 Judah rhoek te rhaprhap a voek tih Jesuh tah Khrih ni tila cacim lamloh langya la a tueng sak.

for he was powerfully refuting the Jews publicly, showing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
