¹After these things he departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

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

²And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he 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 trade, he abode with them, and they wrought, for by their trade 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 Jews and Greeks.

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

⁵But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the 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 out 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 went into the house of a certain man named Titus 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 ruler of the synagogue, believed in 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.

⁹And the Lord said unto 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 harm 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 dwelt [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.

¹²But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before 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 man 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.

¹⁴But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, 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 they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these 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 drove them from the judgment-seat.

¹⁶Huan, vaihawm tutphah akipanin amau a delhkheta hi.

¹⁷And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these 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, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreae; 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 they came to Ephesus, and he 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.

²⁰And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;

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

²¹but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail 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, he went up and saluted the church, and 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 having spent some time [there], he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing 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.

²⁴Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.

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 had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, 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. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately.

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 minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much that 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 powerfully confuted the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

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