Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Panyuma pa bintu ibi, Paulo walafuma ku Atene nekuya ku Kolinto.
2 He 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,
Uko nkwalacana Muyuda naumbi, lina lyakendi Akula, uyo walasemenwa ku Pontasi. Walikuba mwensu walafumina ku Italiya, walesa pamo ne Pulisila mukashendi, cebo ca mwami waku Loma Kilaudiyo, uyo walabika mulawo wakwambeti Bayuda bonse bafume ku Loma. Lino Paulo walaya kubabona.
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Pakubona kwambeti aba bantu balikukute incito mbuli njalikukute Paulo, yakutunga matente, walekala ne kusebensela nabo pamo.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Paulo walikwamba ne bantu ku ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda, pa busuba bwa Sabata bulibonse, kelekesha kusandula Bayuda ne Bagiliki kwambeti bashome Mulumbe Waina.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Sailasi ne Timoti mpobalashika kufuma ku Makedoniya, Paulo walalibengowa kuncito ya kukambauka, ne kwinshila bukamboni ku Bayuda kwambeti Yesu e Mupulushi Walaiwa usa.
6 When 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!”
Nomba pacebo cakwambeti balamutoteka, ne kumusampula, Paulo walapansana nabo ne kupampamuna lusuko ku byakufwala byakendi, ne kubambileti, “Mulalishinishi mobene! Ame ndemuyawu. Kufuma lelo ndenga kukambaukila bantu bamishobo naimbi.”
7 He 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.
Popelapo walabashiya ne kuya ku ng'anda ya muntu naumbi, lina lyakendi, Tito Yusito, uyu muntu wali kuyandishisha kukambilila Lesa, ng'anda yakendi yalikuba yabambana ne ng'anda ya kupaililamo.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
Mutangunishi wa ng'anda ya kupaililamo, Klisipo pamo ne ba mung'anda yakendi balashoma muli Mwami Yesu. Bantu bangi baku Kolinto balanyumfwa makani alikwamba Paulo, balashoma ne kubatishiwa.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
Mwami Yesu walabonekela kuli Paulo mucimbonimboni busuba nabumbi cindi ca mashiku, ne kumwambileti, “Kotatina, pitilisha kukambauka, kayi kotacileka,
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
pakwinga ame ndi pamo ne njobe. Paliya muntu eti akulwane ne kukulinga, pakwinga muno mu munshi muli bantu bakame bangi.”
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Paulo walekala kopeloko kabeyisha bantu maswi a Lesa kwacaka cimo ne myenshi isanu ne umo.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Pacindi Galiyo ncalikuba Mwendeleshi wa cimpansha ca Akaya, Bayuda balamwikata Paulo, ne kumutwala ku nkuta.
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
Balambeti, “Muntuyu layungaulunga bantu kwambeti bakambililenga Lesa mu nshila yapusana ne Milawo yetu.”
14 But 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;
Nomba Paulo katanambapo ciliconse, Galiyo walabambila Bayuda eti, “Ne mulambeti muntuyu lataluku mulawo, nambi kwambeti lepishili munendi, nshinga ne ndawombolosho mulandu wenu amwe Bayuda.
15 but 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.”
Nomba ndacaneti ninkani ilambangowa shamaswi ne maina, kayi ne milawo yenu, mwelela kulibonena mobene. Ame ndamukanini pimbi!”
16 So he drove them from the judgment seat.
Mpwalamba maswi awa, walabatandanyapo pa nkuta.
17 Then 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.
Kufumapo, bantu bonse balekata Sositene, mutangunishi wa ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda, ne kumumina pantangu pa bomboloshi. Galiyo kabonako, nsombi paliya ncalensapo.
18 Paul, 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.
Paulo walalayana ne banse ba ku Kolinto, panyuma pa kwikalako masuba angi. Walatanta bwato pamo ne Akula ne Pulisila mukashendi, ne kuya ku Siliya. Paulo kacili ku Kenkeleya katanatanta bwato, walacesa mishishi kubonesheti lakwanilishi lumbilo lwakendi ndwalensa kuli Lesa.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Mpobalashika ku Efenso, Akula ne Pulisila mukashendi balashala. Paulo kacili kopeloko walengila mu ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda ne kubandika nabo.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Balamusenga kwambeti ekaleko nabo kwa masuba angiko, nsombi nendi walakana.
21 but 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.
Walabalaya ne kubambileti, “Lesa akampa cindi ninkese.” Mpwalambeco walatanta bwato ne kufumako ku Efenso.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Paulo mpwalashika ku Kaisaleya, walaya kayi neku Yelusalemu kuya kupa mitende mubungano. Kufuma uko walaya ku Antiyokeya.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
Panyuma pakwikalako kacindi, walaya kupitana mubibela bingi bya bimpansha bya Galatiya ne Fuligiya, kaya kuyuminisha beshikwiya bonse.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Ku Efenso kwalesa Muyuda walasemenwa ku Alekisandiliya, lina lyakendi, Apolo. Walikuba muntu muya mukutonda, kayi walikwainshiba cena Mabala a Lesa.
25 This 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.
Uyu muntu waleyishiwa nshila ya Mwami, kayi walikuba muntu wakangwabu, walikwamba ne kwiyisha mwabuya makani a Mwami Yesu. Nsombi walikwishibowa sha lubatisho lwa Yohane.
26 He 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.
Walikwamba kwakubula buyowa mu ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda. Pulisila ne Akula mpobalamunyumfwa balamumanta ne kuya kumusansulwila cena mwabuya nshila ya Lesa.
27 When 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;
Apolo mpwalikuyanda kuya ku Akaya, banse balamuyuminisha ne kulembela kalata ku banse ba ku Akaya kwambeti bamutambule cena. Mpwalashika walabanyamfwilisha bonse balikuba bashoma kupitila mu luse lwa Lesa.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Pakwinga Apolo walikubatoteka mwangofu ne kubakoma Bayuda pamenso abantu, kubashinina kupitila mu Mabala a Lesa, kwambeti Yesu endiye Mupulushi Walaiwa usa.
