1To pacoengah Pawl loe Athen vangpui hoiah tacawt moe, Korin vangpui ah caeh:
1After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
2Judah kami Pontius ah tapen Aquila to a hnuk; Klaudia mah Judahnawk boih Rom vangpui hoiah haek pongah, anih loe a zu Priscilla hoi nawnto Italy prae hoiah angzoh; Paul loe nihnik hnuk hanah caeh.
2He 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,
3Nihnik loe Paul baktiah im sakhaih kahni hui kami ah oh hoi pongah, Paul loe nihnik khaeah oh moe, toksak.
3and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4Anih loe Sabbath ni kruek sineko ah caeh moe, Sithaw lok to thuih, Judahnawk hoi Griknawk pazawk thai hanah a pacae.
4He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5Silas hoi Timote Macedonia ah angzoh hoi naah, Pawl mah Judahnawk khaeah Jesu loe Kri boeh ni, tiah thuih hanah, Muithla mah patoeh.
5When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6Toe Judahnawk mah Pawl to aek o moe, ahmin kasae thuih o pongah, nihcae to kahni takhoek thuih moe, nangmacae ih athii loe nangmacae lu nuiah krah nasoe; kai loe ka ciim boeh, vaihi hoi kamtong Gentelnawk khaeah ni ka caeh han boeh, tiah a naa.
6When 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!”
7Anih mah to ahmuen tacawt taak pacoengah, Justa, tiah ahmin kaom kami maeto im ah akunh, anih loe Sithaw bok kami ah oh, a im loe sineko hoi anghnai daek.
7He 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.
8To pacoengah Sineko khenzawnkung Krispa loe, angmah ih imthung takoh boih hoi Angraeng to tang o, lok tahngai paroeai Korin kaminawk mah doeh tang o moe, tuinuemhaih to hnuk o.
8Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9Khoving ah Sithaw mah hnuksakhaih hoiah Pawl khaeah lokthuih pae, zii hmah, anghak ai ah lok to thui ah:
9The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
10nang hoi nawnto Ka oh pongah, mi mah doeh nganbawh kana na paek mak ai, hae vangpui thungah pop parai kami ka tawnh, tiah a naa.
10for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
11Anih loe to vangpui ah saning to pacoeng, khrah tarukto oh moe, vangpui kaminawk khaeah Sithaw lok to patuk.
11He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12Akaia prae ukkung Gallio oh nathuem ah, Judahnawk mah poek maeto amhonghaih hoiah Pawl to hmang o moe, lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah caeh o haih.
12But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13Hae kami loe daan hoi kadue ai Sithaw boksak hanah kaminawk to zoek, tiah a naa o.
13saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
14Pawl mah lokthuih han amsak naah, Gallio mah Judahnawk khaeah, Nangcae Judahnawk, kahoih ai hmuen hoi sakpazae moenghaih hmuen kawng thuih han ih nahaeloe na lok kang tahngaih pae o han:
14But 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;
15toe loknawk, ahminnawk hoi nangmacae ih daan kawng pongah hae kami hae kai khaeah nang hoih o nahaeloe, nangmacae mah sah o halat ah; to baktih hmuen kawng pongah lokcaek han ka koeh ai, tiah a naa.
15but 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.”
16Nihcae to lokcaekhaih ahmuen hoiah tacawtsak.
16So he drove them from the judgment seat.
17To naah Grik kaminawk boih mah sineko khenzawnkung, Sosthen to hmang o lat moe, anih to lokcaekhaih ahmuen hma ah boh o. Toe Gallio mah to tiah kaom hmuennawk to tiah dawncang pae ai.
17Then 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.
18Pawl loe to ahmuen ah nawnetta cam pacoengah, nawkamyanawk to caehtaak, Syria ah palong hoi a caeh, Priscilla hoi Aquila doeh anih hoi nawnto caeh hoi toeng; lokkam tangcae baktih toengah, Cenkhrea vangpui phak naah loe anih mah sam to aah.
18Paul, 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.
19Efisa vangpui phak o naah loe, anih mah Priscilla hoi Aquila to caehtaak: angmah loe sineko thungah akun moe, Judahnawk hoi Sithaw lok aram o.
19He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20Nihcae khaeah kasawkah cam pae hanah a hnik o, toe anih mah angmak pae;
20When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
21toe anih mah, Vaihi sak han ih poih loe Jerusalem ah ka patoh han, Sithaw mah araem tih nahaeloe nangcae khaeah kang zoh let han hmang, tiah a naa. To pacoengah tui lam hoiah Efisa vangpui ah a caeh.
21but 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.
22Sisaria vangpui a phak naah, anih loe caeh tahang moe, kricaabunawk to ban sinh, to pacoengah Antiok vangpui ah caeh tathuk.
22When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
23To vangpui ah ni nazetto maw oh pacoengah, Galatia hoi Phrygia prae thung ih ahmuen maeto pacoeng maeto ah caeh moe, hnukbang kaminawk khaeah thapaekhaih lok a thuih pae.
23Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
24Alexandria vangpui ah tapen, Apollo, tiah ahmin kaom Judah kami maeto, Efisa ah angzoh, anih loe lokthuih kop moe, Cabu thung ih lok panoekhaih bangah thacak kami ah oh.
24Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25Anih loe Angraeng ih loklam amtuk kami ah oh; anih loe Johan tuinuemhaih khue ni panoek vop, toe muithla ah thacak pongah Angraeng Sithaw ih lok to palung tang hoi a thuih moe, patuk.
25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26Anih loe misahoihhaih hoiah sineko ah lokthuih: a thuih ih lok to Priscilla hoi Aquila mah thaih naah, anih to im ah a kawk hoi moe, Sithaw ih loklam to kakoep ah thuih pae hoi.
26He 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.
27Apollo loe Akaia prae ah caeh han amsak, to naah toah kaom hnukbang kaminawk mah anih to talawk o hanah, nawkamyanawk mah ca tarik pae o: anih Akaia phak naah Sitawh tahmenhaih rang hoiah tanghaih tawn kaminawk a bomh:
27When 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;
28anih mah rangpui hma ah Judah kaminawk hoi lok angaekhaih to pazawk moe, Jesu loe Kri ni, tiah Cabu rang hoiah kamnoek ah a hnuksak.
28for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
