¹After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

¹Huai thil zohin Athen khua akipan Paula a pawta, Korinth khua ah a hohta a.

²And 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 came unto them.

²Huan, a min Akuila, Juda khat a mu a, huai mi tuh Ponta gama piang ahi a, Klaudiain Juda tengteng Rome khua akipan pawt thu a piak jiakin a ji Priscilla toh Itali gama kipan hongtung phet ahi ua. Huan, Paula tuh huai mite kiangah a tungta hi,

³And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

³huan, a nasep bang uh sem ahih jiakin amau a kikoppih a, a semkhawm uhi; a nasep uh tuh puanin bawl ahi.

⁴And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

⁴Huan, Khawlni peuhin kikhopna in ah chitaktakin thu a gen jela, Judate leh Grikte thuzoh a tum jel hi.

⁵And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

⁵Huan, Masidonia gam akipan Sila leh Timothi a hongsuk un, Paula tuh thugen kiain a omta hi, tua Jesu Kris tuh ahi chih Judate kiangah a hilhchian jel hi.

⁶And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean; from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

⁶Himahleh, a kalh un a gensia ua, Paulain a puan a singa, a kiang uah, na sihna moh uh noumau pua un; kei jaw ka hula hi; tuban Jentelte kiangah ka pai ding, a chi a.

⁷And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

⁷Huan, huai akipan a paia, a min Tita Justa mi khat in ah a lut a, huai min Pathian a be jel hi, a in leng kikhopna in toh a kizom ahi.

⁸And 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.

⁸Huan, Krispa, kikhopna in heutuin a inkuanpihte tengteng toh Toupa a gingta a, Korinth khua a mi tampi inleng jain a gingta ua, baptisma a tangta uhi.

⁹Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

⁹Huan, janin Toupan Paula kiangah mengmu bangin. Lau kenla, dai louin thu gen jel in;

¹⁰For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

¹⁰Kei na kiangah ka om a kei hiam, sihna dingin kuamahin na tungah khut a kha kei ding uhi; hiai khua ah mi tampi ka nein gala, a chi a.

¹¹And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

¹¹Huan, Paula huaiah a lak uah Pathian thu hilhin kum khat leh kha guk a omta hi.

¹²And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

¹²Huan, Gallio tuh Akaia gamukpa a hih lain Judaten kituakin Paula a sual ua, vaihawmna tutphah maah a pi ua;

¹³Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

¹³Huai mi phiangsanin dan lou bangin a Pathian be dingin mi a khempuk ahi, a chi ua.

¹⁴And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

¹⁴Huan, Paulain a dawn dek leh, Gallioin, Judate kiangah, Judate aw, hiai khawng thil diklou thu hiam, thil hihkhelh thu hiam bek hileh, pel louin kon awlmoh dinga;

¹⁵But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

¹⁵himahleh, thute, minte, noumau dante tungthu lel ahihleh jaw moumau kingaihtuah jaw un; ken jaw huchibang thu ngaihtuah ka ut kei, a chi a.

¹⁶And he drave them from the judgment seat.

¹⁶Huan, vaihawm tutphah akipanin amau a delhkheta hi.

¹⁷Then 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.

¹⁷Huan, Grik mi tengtengin kikhopnain heutu Sosotheini a man ua, vaihawm tutphah maah a vua ua. Gallioin huai a thilhih uh khawk a sa kei hi.

¹⁸And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then 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.

¹⁸Huan, huai zohin Paula ni sawttak a tam nilouha; huai zohin unaute kamphain a khena, huai akipan Suria gam lam ah longin a paita, a kiangah Priscilla leh Akuilla leng a pai sam uhi, Paulain thuchiam a neih jiakin Kenkriai khua ah sam a met phot a.

¹⁹And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

¹⁹Huan, Ephesa a tung ua, huaiah amau a nuseta; amahbel kikhopna in ah a lut a, Judate kiangah chitaktakin thu a gen tadih hi.

²⁰When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

²⁰Huan, sawt deuh tam dingin a khou ua, himahleh a kiawi kei,

²¹But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

²¹Pathianin a phal leh na kiang uah ka hong nawn ding, chiin, kampha in a khena, Ephesa khua akipan longin a paita.

²²And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

²²Huan, Kaisaria khua ah a hongkaia, Jerusalem khua ah a hohtou a, saptuamte chibai a buka; huai khitin Antiok khua ah a hohsukta hi.

²³And 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.

²³Huan, huaia sawt ngial a om nungin a pai nawna, nungjuite tengteng hihkipin Galatia gam leh Phrigia gam a tawnsuak vek hi.

²⁴And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

²⁴Huan, Juda khat, a min Apollo, Aleksandria khua a piang, mi piltak, Ephesa khua ah a hohsuka; aman laisiangthou a nak theih mahmah a.

²⁵This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

²⁵Huai mi tuh Toupa Lampi thu zilsa ahia, lungsima phatuamngaitak a hih jiakin Jesu a hilh jel hi, Johan baptisma thu kia a thei lel a.

²⁶And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

²⁶Huan, kikhopna in ah hangtakin thu a gen panta a. Huchiin Priskilla leh Akuilain a thugen a jak un, a in uah a kiangah Pathian Lampi thu kichian semin a hilhchianta uhi.

²⁷And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

²⁷Huan, aman Akai agama paikai a tup takin unauten a hasuan ua, amah a nakipahpihna ding un nungjuite kiangah lai a gelhsak uhi; huan, a tunin, Pathian hehpihna jiaka gingtate nakpitakin a panpih a;vantang theihin Judate nakpitakin a seldonga, laisiangthou zangin tua Jesu Kris tuh ahi chih a theisak hi.

²⁸For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

²⁸vantang theihin Judate nakpitakin a seldonga, laisiangthou zangin tua Jesu Kris tuh ahi chih a theisak hi.
