1 Nin kidu, Bulus chino ka gbiri Athens amini wa gya udu kagbiri Korint.
On leaving Athens, Paul next 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.
There he met a Jew of the name of Aquila, a native of Pontus, who, with his wife Priscilla, had lately come from Italy, in consequence of the order which had been issued by the Emperor Claudius for all Jews to leave Rome. Paul paid them a visit,
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, since their trade was the same as his, he stayed and worked with them — their trade was tent-making.
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 Paul gave addresses in the Synagogue, trying to convince both Jews and Greeks.
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 had come down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself entirely to delivering the Message, earnestly maintaining before the Jews that Jesus was 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!
However, as they set themselves against him and became abusive, Paul shook his clothes in protest and said to them: “Your blood be on your own heads. My conscience is clear. From this time forward I shall 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 left, and went to the house of a certain Titius Justus, who had been accustomed to join in the worship of God, and 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.
Crispus, the President of the Synagogue, came to believe in the Lord, and so did all his household; and many of the Corinthians, as they listened to Paul, became believers in Christ and were 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,
One night the Lord said to Paul, in a vision: “Have no fear, but continue to speak, and refuse to be silenced;
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.”
for I am with you, and no one shall do you harm, for I have many People in this city.”
11 Nin nanin Blua sọ ata likus kagizi, dursuzu nanin uliru Kutellẹ kitenen Isa.
So he settled there for a year and a half, and taught God’s Message among the people.
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,
While Gallio was governor of Greece, the Jews made a combined attack on Paul, and brought him before the Governor’s Bench,
13 Inin wor, “Ule unite din dursu anit izazin Kutellẹ nan nya tibau tona arik a Yahudawa yirimun ba.
charging him with persuading people to worship God in a way forbidden by 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.
Just as Paul was on the point of speaking, Gallio said to the Jews: “Jews, if this were a case of misdemeanour or some serious crime, there would be some reason for my listening patiently to 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 a dispute about words, and names, and your own Law, you must see to it yourselves. I do not choose to be a judge in such matters.”
16 Dana Gallio belle nanin, amini wa belin a sojoji inutun a dide na Yahudawa nuzu kitin wuchu kiden.
Saying this, he drove them back from the Bench.
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 they all set upon Sosthenes, the President of the Synagogue, and beat him in front of the Bench, but Gallio did not trouble himself about any of these things.
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 remained there some time after this, and then took leave of the Brethren, and sailed to Syria with Priscilla and Aquila, but not before his head had been shaved at Cenchreae, because he was under 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.
They put into Ephesus, and there Paul, leaving his companions, went into the Synagogue and addressed the Jews.
20 Inani wa belinghe a ti ayiri, amini wa nari.
When they asked him to prolong his stay, he declined, saying however,
21 Amini wa bellinanin mma dak in lonliri adi Kutellẹ yinna indak. Ninanin amini wa piru ka barak mmen anin gya udu Efasus.
as he took his leave, “I will come back again to you, please God,” and then 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.
On reaching Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and exchanged greetings with the Church, and then went down 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 making some stay in Antioch, he set out on a tour through the Phrygian district of Galatia, strengthening the faith of all the disciples as he went.
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.
Meanwhile there had come to Ephesus an Alexandrian Jew, named Apollos, an eloquent man, who was well-versed in the Scriptures.
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.
He had been well-instructed in the Cause of the Lord, and with burning zeal he spoke of, and taught carefully, the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John’s.
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.
This man began to speak out fearlessly in the Synagogue; and when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him home and explained the Cause of God to him more carefully still.
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 wanted to cross to Greece, the Brethren furthered his plans, and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival he proved of great assistance to those who had, through the loving-kindness of God, become believers in Christ,
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.
for he vigorously confuted the Jews, publicly proving by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
