Acts 18
1 And after these things, having left Athens, he came to Corinth;
Thuutha ũcio, Paũlũ akiuma Athene agĩthiĩ Korinitho.
2 and finding a certain Jew by name Aquila, of Pontus by race, just come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome, ) came to them,
Aakinya kũu agĩkora Mũyahudi wetagwo Akula, mũndũ waciarĩirwo Ponto, na aakoretwo oka kuuma Italia marĩ na mũtumia wake Pirisila, tondũ Kilaudio nĩathanĩte Ayahudi othe moime Roma. Nake Paũlũ agĩthiĩ kũmona,
3 and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade.
na tondũ Paũlũ aarĩ mũtumi wa hema o tao-rĩ, agĩikarania na akĩrutithania wĩra nao.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
O mũthenya wa Thabatũ nĩaheanaga ũhoro thunagogi-inĩ, akĩgeria kũiguithia Ayahudi na Ayunani.
5 And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in respect of the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Rĩrĩa Sila na Timotheo mookire kuuma Makedonia, Paũlũ akĩĩrutĩra gũkorwo akĩhunjia mahinda mothe, na akoimbũragĩra Ayahudi atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
6 But as they opposed and spoke injuriously, he shook his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head: I [am] pure; from henceforth I will go to the nations.
No rĩrĩa Ayahudi maakararirie Paũlũ na makĩmũruma, akĩribariba nguo ciake nĩ ũndũ wa kũngʼũrĩka na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thakame yanyu ĩromũcookerera! Niĩ ndirĩ ũndũ ingĩũrio nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Kuuma rĩu ngũcooka gũthiĩ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.”
7 And departing thence he came to the house of a certain [man], by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined the synagogue.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Paũlũ akiuma kũu thunagogi-inĩ, agĩthiĩ kwa mũndũ wetagwo Titio Jusito, warĩ mũhooi Ngai, nayo nyũmba yake yariganĩtie na thunagogi.
8 But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.
Nake Kirisipo, ũrĩa warĩ mũtongoria wa thunagogi, agĩĩtĩkia Mwathani hamwe na nyũmba yake yothe; na andũ aingĩ a Korinitho arĩa maamũiguire akĩaria magĩĩtĩkia na makĩbatithio.
9 And the Lord said by vision in [the] night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;
Ũtukũ ũmwe Mwathani akĩĩra Paũlũ na kĩoneki atĩrĩ, “Ndũkae gwĩtigĩra; thiĩ na mbere na kũheana ũhoro, na ndũgaakire.
10 because I am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city.
Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe nawe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgũgũtharĩkĩra agwĩke ũũru, tondũ ndĩ na andũ aingĩ gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.”
11 And he remained [there] a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Paũlũ agĩikara kũu mwaka ũmwe na nuthu, akĩmarutaga kiugo kĩa Ngai.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat,
Rĩrĩa Galio aarĩ barũthi wa Akaia, Ayahudi makĩnyiitana magĩtharĩkĩra Paũlũ na makĩmũtwara igooti-inĩ.
13 saying, This [man] persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ araringĩrĩria andũ kũhooya Ngai na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩreganĩte na watho.”
14 But as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne with you;
Na rĩrĩa Paũlũ endaga kwaria, Galio akĩĩra Ayahudi atĩrĩ, “Korwo inyuĩ Ayahudi mũrateta nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ mũũru kana ngero njũru-rĩ, nĩ hangĩrĩ na gĩtũmi gĩa kũmũthikĩrĩria inyuĩ.
15 but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; [for] I do not intend to be judge of these things.
No kuona atĩ nĩ ũhoro wa ciũria ikoniĩ ciugo na marĩĩtwa na watho wanyu inyuĩ ene-rĩ, menyai ũrĩa mũgwĩka. Niĩ ndigũtuĩka mũtui ciira wa maũndũ ta macio.”
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga marutũrũrwo kuuma igooti-inĩ.
17 And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about none of these things.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi acio othe makĩgarũrũkĩra Sosithene mũtongoria wa thunagogi, na makĩmũhũũrĩra hau mbere ya igooti. No Galio ndaigana kũrũmbũyania na ũhoro ũcio o na atĩa.
18 And Paul, having yet stayed [there] many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow;
Paũlũ nĩaikarire kũu Korinitho kwa ihinda. Agĩcooka agĩtiga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ kuo, akĩhaica marikabu agĩthiĩ Suriata, marĩ hamwe na Pirisila na Akula. Atanahaica marikabu, aambire akĩenjwo njuĩrĩ yake arĩ kũu Kenikirea, tondũ wa mwĩhĩtwa eehĩtĩte.
19 and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews.
Nao maakinya Efeso, Paũlũ agĩtiga Pirisila na Akula kuo. We mwene agĩtoonya thunagogi na akĩaranĩria na Ayahudi.
20 And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time [with them] he did not accede,
Nao makĩmũũria aikaranganie nao kuo, nowe akĩrega.
21 but bade them farewell, saying, [I must by all means keep the coming feast at Jerusalem]; I will return to you again, if God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus.
No rĩrĩa oimaga kuo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aakorwo nĩ wendi wa Ngai, nĩndĩrĩcooka.” Nake akĩhaica marikabu akiuma Efeso.
22 And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
Rĩrĩa aakinyire Kaisarea, akĩambata agĩthiĩ kũgeithia Kanitha, agĩcooka agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ nginya Antiokia.
23 And having stayed [there] some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples.
Na thuutha wa Paũlũ gũikaranga kũu Antiokia, akiuma kuo, na agĩthiĩ kũndũ na kũndũ bũrũri wothe wa Galatia na Firigia, akĩũmagĩrĩria arutwo othe.
24 But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.
O ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Mũyahudi wetagwo Apolo, waciarĩirwo Alekisanderia, agĩũka Efeso. Aarĩ mũndũ mũthomu, na aarĩ na ũũgĩ mũingĩ mũno wa Maandĩko.
25 He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
Nĩarutĩtwo na njĩra ĩrĩa ya Mwathani, na akaaragia na kĩyo kĩnene, na akarutanaga ũhoro wa Jesũ atekũhĩtia, o na gũtuĩka ũbatithio ũrĩa ooĩ warĩ o wa Johana.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to [them] and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly.
Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwaria na ũcamba kũu thunagogi-inĩ. Rĩrĩa Pirisila na Akula maamũiguire akĩaria, makĩmũnyiita ũgeni kwao mũciĩ na makĩmũtaarĩria ũhoro wa njĩra ya Ngai wega makĩria.
27 And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace.
Na rĩrĩa Apolo eendaga gũthiĩ Akaia, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ makĩmũũmĩrĩria na makĩandĩkĩra arutwo akuo marũa makĩmeera mamwamũkĩre. Na aakinya kuo agĩtuĩka ũteithio mũnene kũrĩ andũ arĩa meetĩkĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa wega wa Ngai.
28 For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Nĩgũkorwo arĩ na ũhoti mũingĩ, nĩahootire Ayahudi biũ mbere ya andũ othe, akĩonanagia kuuma kũrĩ Maandĩko atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
