Katwa Nono Katwa 18

1 Nin kidu, Bulus chino ka gbiri Athens amini wa gya udu kagbiri Korint.

Now after these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

2 Kikane a zuro nin ku Bayahudi ulena lisame wadi Akila nin wanime Briskila itabotak konkubi ninkidun unuzu ka gbiri Roma nan nya Italiya. Ichin Roma bar ugo klidius, wabalin Ayahudawa vat chin Roma.

And encountering a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome), he joined them;

3 Akila nin Briskila iwadin sesu nikubu libau kia adanga. Ame Bulus wa yiru kia nadanga, ninnanin atinna asọ nan ghinu nin su kata ligowe.

and because he practiced the same trade, he stayed on with them and worked (their trade was tentmaker).

4 Ko ayeme asabbath, Bulus asa do kintin zursu na Yahudawe, amini asa lira nin na Yahudawa ah alena a Yahudawariba. Amini wa dursuzo nanin kitenen Isa.

Every Sabbath in the synagogue he would reason with both Jews and Greeks, trying to persuade them.

5 Sila nin Timontawus dã unuzu kusarin Makidonia. Dana iduru kikane, Bulus tinna achino kata makeke ku danga. Amini wa yiru kubime chin dursuzu a Yahudawa tipipin kitenen Isa. Amini wa belin nanin ai Isa amere Christi.

But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the Spirit, solemnly insisting to the Jews: Jesus is the Christ.

6 Kikane a Yahudawa tinna inari Bulus ku inin tinna na belu imong inanzan kiteneme. Ninnanin atin na azalina lidau nalutik me bar Kutellẹ lanza man ninghinu ba, anin woro nanin,”Andi Kutellẹ ma sumunu uhor, a ma su bar anughere, na bar men ba! Nuzu nene udunbun Inma di belu kiti na Lena a Yahudawari ba!

But since they kept contradicting and blaspheming, he shook his clothes and said to them: “Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7 Bar nanin Bulus tinna achino kitin zursu na Yahudawa anin duo kilari kana kiwa di kupopo, anin dursuzo kikane. Titus Justus, unan kilare a wadi ku Yahudawa ba amini wadi unan durtu Kutellẹ.

So he moved from there into the house of a man named Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

8 Nin kidun, ude kiti n zursuzu na Yahudawa, iwadin yichighe Krispus, nin vat kilarime wa yinin nin Is. anit gbardan nan nya korintian alena lanza Bulus ku iwa kuru yinna nin Isa inanin wa su nanin ubaptiszima.

Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household; and as they were hearing, many of the Corinthians were believing and being baptized.

9 Nan nya kitik Ugo Isa nuna Bulus ku nmoro yenji kiti bun anin woroghe,”Na uwa lanza fiu nanit alena idinin sufeba, nin nin nanin na uwa ti tik belu kitenenin ba,

Now the Lord said to Paul by a vision at night: “Do not be afraid; rather speak and do not keep silent,

10 Bar na inma bunfi na umon ma lanzifi ukule kikane ba. leubun bellu nani kiteni, bar anit di gbardan kagbiri kane naidi anit ni ghari.”

because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because I have many people in this city.”

11 Nin nanin Blua sọ ata likus kagizi, dursuzu nanin uliru Kutellẹ kitenen Isa.

So he stayed on for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.

12 Dana Galio so kugovuno Roma kusarin Achai, Adide na Yahudawe nin tinna ikifo Bulus ku. Iyira ghe ido kiti govuno nin liru kinu kitene me,

Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,

13 Inin wor, “Ule unite din dursu anit izazin Kutellẹ nan nya tibau tona arik a Yahudawa yirimun ba.

saying, “This fellow persuades the people to worship God contrary to the law.”

14 Dana Bulus wa china ulirinu, Gollio nin woro a Yahudawa,”Andi unit ulele puro ma dortu bit a Romaw, da iwa lanzu ilemon na idin belli.

But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If there really was some misdeed or wicked crime, O Jews, there would be reason for me to bear with you;

15 Nin nanin, idin belu kitene tisa nin madortu mine a nin Yahudawa, bar anin atimine iwangha bele imon kitene ni lemone. Bar nanin na men masu uwuchu kiden kitene nile mone ba!

but since it is an issue over a word and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; because I refuse to be a judge of such matters.”

16 Dana Gallio belle nanin, amini wa belin a sojoji inutun a dide na Yahudawa nuzu kitin wuchu kiden.

And he drove them from the judgment seat.

17 Ninnanin ani tinna ikifo ude na Yahudawa, Sosthennes. inanin wa foghe ibun kitet wusu kiden. Vat nanin Gallio wa su imong kitene ba.

Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was a delay to Gallio.

18 Bulus nin tah ayiri nin nana yinu sauyenu nan nya Korinth. amini wa piru kabarak mmen nin Briskila ah Akila inin kata udu u Siria. Amini wa buo titime bar isilin ile na awa su.

Paul still remained there a good while, then took leave of the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila (he had shaved his head in Cenchrea, because he had a vow).

19 Inanin wa duru kagbiri. Efasu, Briskila nin Akila tinna isuo kikane. Bulus litime pira kitin zursuzu na Yahudawa anin belle a Yahudawa uliru kitenen Isa.

He came to Ephesus and left them there (after having entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews).

20 Inani wa belinghe a ti ayiri, amini wa nari.

When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent;

21 Amini wa bellinanin mma dak in lonliri adi Kutellẹ yinna indak. Ninanin amini wa piru ka barak mmen anin gya udu Efasus.

rather he took leave of them saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

22 Dana kabarak mmen da ka gbiri. Kaiseri, Bulutina atolo. Amini wa piro udu Urshalima anin liso anan yinusauyenu kikane. Ninnanin atinna gya udu ka gbiri Antiok kusarin Siria.

When he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church [in Jerusalem], he returned to Antioch.

23 Bulus leu kubi nin anan yinusauyenu kikane. Ninnanin atinna achino u Antiok anin pira ningbiri nigbiri gwardan kusarin Galantia nin Firigia. Amini wa risu anan yinusauyenu i yini kan nan nya liri Kutenlẹ kitenen Isa.

After spending some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.

24 Dana Bulus wa diichin nan aya Firisia, ku Yahudawa lisame wadi Afolos ada Efisus. Awa nuzu kusarin ka gbiri Alexzadria amini wa yiru litafi kan.

Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, mighty in the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus.

25 Among anan yinnusauyenu durso Apolos ku tibou tona Isa dininsu ait s, amini wadurso imongne kiti nanit. Ninnani, awadi dursuzu imong kap ba kitenen Isa. Bar ame yiru ubaptizzima Yohanari chas.

This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

26 Apolos duo kitin zursuzu na Yahudawa, amini wa belin anite kikane kitene nimong ilena amena yini. Dana Briskila nin Akila lanza udursuzu me, itinna iyiraghe udu gamine inan dursuzoghe kan kitenen Isa.

So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

27 Dana Apolos yinna ama ghiu udu kusarin Aciya, anan bi nanya Efisus woroghe uma chaunu asu nanin. Inanin wa nyerti udu kiti nanan bin Aciya inin woro seren Apolos ku nin kibinai kirum. Nin duru kikane, amini wa bun alenge na Kutellẹ wa lanza nkune-kune iyinin nin Yesu.

When he decided to go across into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to receive him; upon arriving he was a great help to those who had believed through the Grace;

28 Apolos wadi liru nin likara nan nadidya na Yahudawa vat nin nalena iwa din lanzughe. Nanyan bellu niyerte ilauwe, awa yinini udursu nani Yesure umasiye.

because he kept refuting the Jews vigorously, publicly, demonstrating Jesus to be the Christ, from the Scriptures.
