Acts 18

1 And after these things, having left Athens, he came to Corinth;

Ze yakilaa imakani nanso, uPaulo ai uhegile ku Athene kulongola ku Korintho.

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,

Uko akamulija Muyahudi nuitangwaa Akwila muntu nua kabila nila Ponto, ung'wenso nu musungu nuakwe nuitangwaa Prisila ai apembilye kupuma uko ku Italia, ku nsoko uKlaudia ai ulagiiye i Ayahudi ihi ahege ku Roma; uPaulo akapembya kitalao;

3 and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade.

uPaulo akikie nu kituma i milimo ni enso kunsoko nuanso witumaa mulimo nuipyani niyi nao. Enso ai iza azepya mahema.

4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

uPaulo akitambulya ni enso mi itekeelo kila luhiku nula kusupya. Ai uapemile i Ayahudi palung'wi ni Agiriki.

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.

Kuiti uSila nu Timotheo nai akapembya kupuma ku Makedonia, uPaulo ai usuntilwe nu Ng'wau Ngwelu kua kuiila i Ayahudi kina uYesu yuyo Kristo.

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.

Matungo i Ayahudi nai amukua nu kumukuna, iti uPaulo wikapununta u ng'wenda nuakwe ntongeela ao, nu kuatambuila, “Sakami anyu ni itule migulya a matwe anyu akola; Unene nimugila ikinkwaatya. kupuma itungili nu kulongoleka, kuahanga i anyaingu.”

7 And departing thence he came to the house of a certain [man], by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined the synagogue.

Iti gwa akahega kupuma pang'wanso akalongola mi ito nilang'wa Tito Yusto, Muntu nai wimukulya Itunda. Ito nilakwe ai likoli pakupi ni itekeelo.

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.

uKrispo, mutongeeli nu itekeelo palung'wi ni antu a mi ito nilakwe akamuhuiila uMukulu. Antu idu nia ku Korintho nai amigulye uPaulo ukuligitya ai ahuiie nu kogigwa.

9 And the Lord said by vision in [the] night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;

uMukulu akamutambuila uPaulo utiku kukiila ku nzila a muloto, “Leka kogopa, kuiti ligitya hangi leka kukilaga.

10 because I am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city.

Ku iti unene nkoli palung'wi nu ewe, hangi kutili nuikagema kuumela, ndogoelyo nkete antu idu mu kisali iki.”

11 And he remained [there] a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.

uPaulo akikie kuko ku itungo la ng'waka ung'wi ni myeli mutandatu wazemanyisa lukani nulang'wa Itunda mukati ao.

12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat,

Kuiti uGalio nai wakatendwa muhumi nua ku Akaya, Ayahudi ai imikile palung'wi nsuta nu Paulo nu kumutwala ntongeela a ituntu nila ulamuli,

13 saying, This [man] persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.

aze ligitya, “uMuntu uyu wiapemaa i antu kumukulya Itunda nsuta ni malagiilyo.”

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;

Matungo uPaulo nai wakatula uloilwe kuligitya, uGalio aka atambuila i Ayahudi, “Unyenye Ayahudi, anga aza itule utumuli ang'wi ubipya, aza izeetula tai kuitumila u mulimo.

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.

Kuiti ku nsoko ingi makolyo, natulikile imakani ni mina, ni malagiilyo anyu, uugwa lamuli nyenye akola. Unene nimugila insula kutula mulamuli ku nkani nia makani nanso.”

16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

uGalio akalagiilya ahege ntongeela ituntu nila ulamuli.

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.

Iti gwa, akamuamba uSosthene, mutongeeli nu itekeelo, akamukua ntongeela ituntu nila ulamuli. Kuiti uGalio shanga ai ukee nai akitumile.

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;

uPaulo, ze yakilaa kikie pang'wanso ku itungo ilipu, ai ualekile anya ndugu nu kulongola na meli ku Siria palung'wi nu Prisila nu Akwila. Ze ikili nu kuhega pa bandari, ai uzue insingi niakwe ku nsoko ai watula walapaa kutula munazili.

19 and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews.

Nai akapika ku Efeso, uPaulo ai umulekile uPrisila nu Akwila pang'wanso, kuiti ung'wenso mukola akingila mi itekeelo nu kitambulya ni Ayahudi.

20 And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time [with them] he did not accede,

Nai amutambuie uPaulo wikie ni enso ku itungo ilipu, nuanso ai uhitile.

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.

Kuiti wakahega kitalao, aka atambuila, “Nikasuka hangi kitalanyu, agaitule ingi ulowa wang'wa Itunda.” Ze yakilaa pang'wanso, wakahega ku meli kupuma ku Efeso.

22 And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

uPaulo nai wakasima ku Kaisaria, ai unankie kulongola kulilamusha itekeelo nila ku Yerusalemu, uugwa akasima pihi ku itekeelo nila ku Antiokoa.

23 And having stayed [there] some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples.

Ze yakilaa kikie ku itungo ilipu pang'wanso, uPaulo ai uhegile kukiila nkika nia ku Galatia ni Frigia nu kuakinyila inkolo i amanyisigwa ihi.

24 But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.

Muyahudi ung'wi nuitangwaa Apolo, nai utugiwe uko ku Alexandria, ai upembilye ku Efeso. Ai ukete nu ulingi mu kuligitya hangi muhugu mu ukilisigwa.

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.

uApollo ai watulaa ulagiiwe mu umanyisigwa nua Mukulu. Ku kinya uli nai ukete nu ukamatiku mu nkolo, ai wiligityaa nu kumanyisa ku uziza imakani namutuile uYesu, ila ai ulingile udu u wogigwa nuang'wa Yohana.

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.

uApolo akandya kitamulya ku ukamatiku mi itekeelo. Kuiti uPrisila nu Akwila nai akamija, ai azipilye kihumbashuya nu ng'wenso hangi akamuganuila migulya a nzila niang'wa Itunda ku uziza,

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.

Nai wakahung'wa insula kuhega kulongola ku Akaya, anyandugu ai amukinyie inkolo nu kuakilisilya ibada i amanyisigwa niakoli ku Akaya iti ahume kumusingiilya. Nuikapikiila, ku ukende ai ua aiiye nangaluu awo nai ahuiie.

28 For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

Ku ngulu niakwe ni mahala, uApolo ai uakiile i Ayahudi mu kihenga wazelagiila kukiila ukilisigwa niya kina uYesu yuyo Kristo.
