Acts 18

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

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

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 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 he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

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

4 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 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

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 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 non-Jewish people."

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 He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to 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 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.

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 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;

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

10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."

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

11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

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 accord rose up against Paul and brought him before 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 one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."

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

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;

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 they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."

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 He drove them from the judgment seat.

uGalio akalagiilya ahege ntongeela ituntu nila ulamuli.

17 Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.

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

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.

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 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and 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 When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;

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

21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail 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 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and 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 Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening 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 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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;

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 powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.

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