I have found them in a manga. It is a dialogue discussing to the third person
going into a Pachinko shop.

Here is the full sentence

> なんせ ここいらの商人【しょうにん】どもは あのジョーがくると おちおち商売【しょうばい】 **しとられん ちゅうて おびえとるん** じゃから

What do the words しとられん, ちゅうて and おびえとるん mean?

What do the words 「しとられん」, 「ちゅうて」 and 「おびえとるん」 mean?
しとられん means you can't do something or can't focus on something, because there
is something more important. In this sentence, it says when ジョー comes, you
can't do businesses anymore. Probably, ジョー is a person who interrupt the
businesses.

~ ちゅうて means "(someone) says ~". ちゅうて comes right after the content of what
they speak. In this context, 商人 said "あのジョーがくるとおちおち商売しとられん".

おびえとる mean fear/be afraid of. In this context, 商人 is afraid of ジョー.

By the way, they all are dialect spoken by west part of Japanese people. In
standard Japanese しとられん is equivalent to してられない, ちゅうて is equivalent to と言って,
おびえとるん is equivalent to おびえている.
