Ndu Manzaniba 18
1 Hu gon kpi biyi, Bulus a rju rji ni Athens nda hi ni Corinth.
After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 Niki a ka zontu ni ndji Yahudawa ri wa ba yo ndi Akwila, ndi wu ngrji Pontus, wa la ren mayi a ye rhini Itali mba wama Pricila, nitu Claudius a yo doka du Yahudawa du ba rju ni Rome. Bulus a hi niba,
There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
3 nitu wa bata ti bibi ndu son ni gbungblu riri niwu, a son niba nda sia ti ndu'a, bana bi tsro bru ni tent.
and he stayed and worked with them because they were tentmakers by trade, just as he was.
4 Niki Bulus a son zi shle bla ni sinagog chachu ni vi Sati (Sabbath), nda ni gbron mren Yahudawa baba Greek ba.
Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
5 Zizan niwa Sila mba Timoti ba grji ye ni Macedonia, Bulus a ka yo sron ma yo ngbangban ni lan tre'a, nda ni bwu hla ni Yahudawa ba ndi Yesu yi hi Kristi.
And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6 Niki wa Yahudawa ba ba lu hon wu nda mren u, Bulus a kpon nklon kpama ni bawu nda hla bawu ndi, “Du iyi mbi he ni tu mbi, mi ngla wo mu rju, rji zizan mi hini bi kora'a.”
But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 Mle arju don bubuki nda hi ni ko Titiyus Justus, ndi wa a ta hu nkon bre Irji. Ikoma a na he hu nha ni sinagog.
So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
8 Crispus, ninkon Sinagog a, kpanyime ni Bachi, ni bi koma wawu mba, baba gbugbu ndji bi Korintiya wa ba wo nda kpanyime, ba ti batisma ni bawu.
Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.
9 Bachi a hla ni Bulus ni chu nimi ra, “Na ti sissri na, si tre rju nina son gbangbi na.
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.
10 Nitu mi he ni wu, ndrori na wa ti kpe meme ni wu na. mi he ni gbugbuwu ndji ni mi kikle gbu yi.”
For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”
11 Bulus a son niki ti ise ri ni wha tanne, nda ni tsro lan tre Irji ni mimba.
So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.
12 Niki wa Gallio a hon son ni ruron gomna wu Achaya, Yahudawa ba ba lu ni mren sron ri wu kiamba ni Bulus, nda vuu ye shishi bi gaa tre;
While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
13 ba tre ndi, “Igu yi kma sron ndji ba duba hu nkon bre Irji nkan ni wa doka hla.”
“This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
14 Kima me, niwa Bulus a taa bwu tre ma, Gallio a tre ni Yahudawa ba ndi, “Biyi Yahudawa, a nita nitu meme ko gbirjerje la tre, ani he nitu nkon mi wo yi.
But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
15 Nitu wa a he nitu lan tre baba ba nde ni doka mbi, hi ki ni mla kpa mbi ti kimbi. Mina son ri ni gaa tre ikpi biyii na.”
But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
16 Gallio a duba rju dinkon ni ruron gaatre'a.
And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
17 Niki ba lu vu sosthenes, ninkon sinagog nda hlo tsi ni shishi ruron wu gaatre'a. E Gallio ana yo sron ni kpe wa ba tia na.
At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
18 Bulus, hu gon son niki wu vi gbugbu bari, a lu don mri vayi ba nda dran hi ni Syria baba Priscilla mba Akwila. Niwa a rhihe kunkon rhini bubu ri ni jirgi ma wu Cenchrea, a duba kron nfutu ma rju mpempen nitu shirji wa a baan.
Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
19 Niwa ba ye ri ni Ephesus, Bulus a kaaba Priscilla mba Aquila don niki, e wawu kima a ri hi ni mi sinagog nda ka si shleniya baba Yahudawa ba.
When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Niwa ba mye Bulus du son gbaa nha, a kama.
When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
21 Ni lu bre nda ni donba, a tre ndi, “Mila kma ye ngari, Irji nita kpanyime.” A dran nitu jirgi mma rhiki hi ni Ephesus.
But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Niwa Bulus a ye grji ni Caesarea, a hon hi ka chi ekklisiya wu Urushelima nda grji hi ni Antioch.
When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.
23 Hu gon fon son niki, Bulus rju kuunkon zren zu ni gbungblu Galatia mba Phrygia, nda ni nhron mri ko ba du ba kri gbangban.
After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Niki, Yahudawa ri ni nde Apollos, wa ba ngrjiwu ni Alexandria, a ye ni Ehpesus. A he ni lantre ndindi wu tre nda ni mla toh vunvu tre Irji.
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.
25 Apollos ana kpa tsro ndindi ni tsro tre Bachi, nitu wa a ta kri gbangban ni dri, a tre nda tsro ni nkon tsatsra kpi nitu Yesu, e nda to nitu batisma wu Yohana megen.
He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Apollos a lu kri si tre ni gbengblen sron ni mi sinagog. Niwa Priscilla mba Aquila ba woowu, ba yo ye ni kosan nda mla bla niwu, nkon wu Irji.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him in and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Niwa a ta son vu yba hi ni Achaia, mri vayi ba ba nhron nda nha vunvu ni mriko bi Achaia ndi du ba kpaa ni wo ha. Niwa a ka riki, a zo ni nkon gbugbuwu biwa ba kpanyime, nita a kpaba hamma ni duba ti kpe.
When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
28 Apollos a kri gbangban ni sen nyu ni Yahudawa ba nda tsro ba rhi ni vunvu Irji ndi Yesu yi hi Kristi.
For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
