Paul then left Athens and went to Corinth
2 Eyo namubhona omuyaudi oyo kabhilikilwa Akwila omunu wa likabila lwa Ponto, omwene no mugasi wae aliga nabhilikilwa Prisila Bhejile okusoka eyo Italia, KU nsoga Klaudia alagilie abhayaudi bhona bhasoke Roma; Paulo naja ewabho;
where he met a Jew named Aquila. Aquila was originally from Pontus, and had just arrived from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all Jews expelled from Rome. Paul went to see them,
3 Paulo nalama no kukola emilimu jinu ejisusana ne jebhwe. Abhene bhaliga nibhakoja amaema.
and because they were in the same business of tent-making, he stayed with them.
4 Paulo naikana nabho mulikofyanyisho bhuli lunaku lwa isabato. abhakongishe abhayaudi amwi na abhagiriki.
He debated in the synagogue every Sabbath, convincing both Jews and Greeks.
5 Mbe nawe Sila na Timotheo bhejile bhakaja okusoka makodonia, Paulo nasindikwa na Mwoyo okubabhambhalila abhayaudi ati Yesu niwe Kristo.
When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul felt he had to become more direct in what he said, and told the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 omwanya gunu abhayaudi bhamubhumile no kumujimya, kwibyo Paulo nakukumula omwenda gwae imbhele yebhe, no kubhabhwila,” amanyiga gemwe na gabhwe ingulu ye mitwe jemwe abhene; anye ntana ntambala okwamba woli no kugendelela, naja ku bha maanga.
When they opposed him and cursed him, he shook out his clothes and told them, “Your blood is on your own heads! I am innocent of any guilt, and from now on I will go to the foreigners.”
7 Kulwejo nasokao Aliya nagenda KU nyumbha ya Tito Yusto, omunu oyo kalamya Nyamuanga. inyumba yae ili ayei ne elikofyanyisho.
He left and went to stay with Titius Justus, who worshiped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 krispo, omtagasha we likofanyisho amwi na bhanu bha ika ewae ni bhamwikilisha Latabhugenyi. abhanu bhafu bha Korintho abho bhamguwe Paulo naika bhanu bhekilisishe no kubhatijibhwa.
Crispus, leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. Many of the people of Corinth who heard the message became believers and were baptized.
9 Latabhugenyi nambhwila Paulo mgeta kujila ye bhwilolo”, Utobhaya, nawe nuwaike utajibhwila.
The Lord told Paul in a vision at night: “Don't be afraid. Speak up, don't keep quiet—
10 Anye nili amwi nawe, atalio oyo alakulegeja okukunyamla, insoga Nina bhanu bhafu mumusi gunu”.
because I am with you, and no-one will attack you, for many people in this city are mine.”
11 Paulo neyanja eyo kwo mwanya gwo mwaka gumwi na mesi mukaga neigisha omusango gwa Nyamuanga agati-gati yebhwe.
Paul stayed there for eighteen months, teaching the people the word of God.
12 Mbe nawe Galio ejile akolwa okubha mtungi wa Akaya, abhayaudi bemeleguyu amwi mu bhutasikene na Paulo no kumsima imbele ye chitebhe Cha indamu,
However, during the time when Gallio was the governor of Achaia, the Jews united in an attack against Paul and brought him before the court.
13 nibhaika”, Omunu unu kabhakogya abhanu bhanu bhamulamye Nyamuanga bhitasikene ne bhilagilo”.
“This man is persuading people to worship God illegally,” they declared.
14 Omanya gunu Paulo aliga nenda okwika, Galio nabhabwila abhayaudi,” emwe bhayaudi, jakabhee jili mibhibhi amwi bhunyake, jakabhee je kisi kubha kolela.
But just as Paul was about to defend himself, Gallio told the Jews, “If you Jews were bringing criminal charges or some serious legal offense, there would be a reason for me to listen to your case.
15 Mbe nawe ku songa ya mabhusho, okulubhana amasango na amasina ne bhilagilo bhemwe Mbe mulamule emwe abhene. Anye nitakwenda kubha mulamusi we misango ejo.
But since you're only arguing over words and names and your own law, then you deal with it yourselves. I won't rule on such matters.”
16 Galio nabhabwila msoke imbhele ye chitebhe Cha indamu,
Then Gallio had them ejected from the court.
17 Kwibhyo mbhamugwa Sosthene, omutangasha we likofyanyisho, mbhamubhuma imbhele ye chitebhe Cha indamu. Nawe Galio atasasilwe echo bhakolele.
Then the crowd turned on Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and beat him right outside the court, but Gallio wasn't concerned about this at all.
18 Paulo, ejile akenyanja Aliya kwo mwanya mulela, abhasigele abhasu no kugenda KU meli Siria amwi na Prisila na Akwila. Bhachali kusoka kwigobhelo, namwega jinfwili jae kulwo kubha aliga alaie na anechilailo.
Paul stayed on for a while. Then left the believers and sailed for Syria, taking Priscilla and Aquila along with him. He had his head shaved while in Cenchrae, because he had taken a vow.
19 Bhejile bakinga Efeso, Paulo namusiga Prisila na Akwila alya, nawe mwenene nengila mu likofyanyisho no kwaikana na abhayaudi.
They arrived in Ephesus, where Paul left the others behind. He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews.
20 Bhejile bhakamubhila Paulo enyaje nabho kwo mwanya mulele, omwene alemele.
They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
21 Mbe nawe nasokao kubhene, nabhabwila,” enisubha lindi kwemwe, kukabha kuli kwenda kwa Nyamuwanga.” okumala ao nagenda na imeli nasoka Efeso.
He said his goodbyes, and set sail from Ephesus, telling them, “I'll come back and see you if it's God's will.”
22 Paulo ejile agobha Kaisaria, alinyile okugenda okukesha Likanisa lya Yerusalemu, okumala natebhela emwalo kwi kanisa lya Antiokia.
After landing at Caesarea he went to greet the church members, and then carried on to Antioch.
23 Ejile enyanjao kwo mwanya, Paulo asokeleo alabhile mu mabhala ga Galatia na Frigia no kubhakomesha omwoyo abheigisibwa bhae.
He spent some time there and then went from town to town through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, encouraging all the believers.
24 Omuyaudi umwi unu aliga nabhilikilwa Apollo, oyo ebhuliywe eyo Alexandria, ejileEfeso. Aliga Ali no bhumenyi mu kwaika no bhengeso mu maandiko.
In the meantime a Jew named Apollos, originally from Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus. He was a gifted speaker who knew the Scriptures well.
25 Apollo aliga elesibhwe mu mumeigisho ga Latabugenyi. lwa kutyo aliga Ali na managa mu mutima, aikile no kwiigisha kisi-kisi KU misango jinu ejilubhana naYesu, nawe amenyele-la obhubhatijo bha Yohana.
He had been taught the way of the Lord. He was spiritually passionate, and in his speaking and teaching he presented Jesus accurately, but he only knew about John's baptism.
26 Apollo nambha okwaika kwo obhuyali mu Yekalu. nawe Prisila na Akwila bhejile bhamungwa, mbhakola obhusani nage na mbhamwelesha ingulu ya jinjila ja Nyamuwanga kwo bhekisi.
He started speaking openly in the synagogue. So when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to join them and explained the way of God to him more fully.
27 Mbe ejile enda okusoka okuja Akaya, abhaili bhamuteyemo omwoyo no kubhandikila inyalubha abheigisibhwa bhanu bhali Akaya koleleki bhamulamile. Ejile akinga, KUlwe chigongo abhasakie muno bhalya bhanu bhekilisishe.
When he decided to go to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples there telling them to welcome him. When he arrived he was very helpful to those who through grace trusted God,
28 Kulwa managa ga no bhumenyi, Apollo abhakilile abhayaudi abhwelu nelesha okulabha mu maandiko ati Yesu niwe Kristo.
because he was able to strongly refute the Jews in public debate, demonstrating from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
