Ndu Manzaniba 18
1 Hu gon kpi biyi, Bulus a rju rji ni Athens nda hi ni Corinth.
After these things, Paul departed from Athens and came 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,
and finding a certain Jews, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla, his wife, (because Claudius Cesar had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he went to 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 as he was of the same trade, he continued with them, and wrought; for by trade they were tent-makers.
4 Niki Bulus a son zi shle bla ni sinagog chachu ni vi Sati (Sabbath), nda ni gbron mren Yahudawa baba Greek ba.
But he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath day, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
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 as soon as Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul was impelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
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 set themselves in opposition, and reviled, he shook his garment, and said to them, Let your blood be upon your own head! I am pure. From henceforth 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.
And going out thence, he went into the house of one called Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.
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.
Now, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed; and were immersed.
9 Bachi a hla ni Bulus ni chu nimi ra, “Na ti sissri na, si tre rju nina son gbangbi na.
But the Lord said to Paul, in a vision by night, Fear not, but speak, and do not keep silence;
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 man shall fall on you, to injure you; for I have much people in this city.
11 Bulus a son niki ti ise ri ni wha tanne, nda ni tsro lan tre Irji ni mimba.
And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
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;
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made an assault upon Paul, with one consent, and brought him before the tribunal,
13 ba tre ndi, “Igu yi kma sron ndji ba duba hu nkon bre Irji nkan ni wa doka hla.”
saying, This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
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.
And when Paul would have opened his mouth, Gallio said to the the Jews, If it were an act of injustice, or mischievous licentiousness, O Jews! it were reasonable I should bear with you.
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 if it be a question concerning words, and names, and the law which is among you, you see to it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.
16 Gallio a duba rju dinkon ni ruron gaatre'a.
And he drove them away from the tribunal.
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.
And all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal; but Gallio did not concern himself at all about the matter.
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.
And Paul still continued there for a considerable time, and then taking leave of the brethren, sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shaved his head at Cenchrea, for he had a vow.
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.
And he arrived at Ephesus, and there he left them; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Niwa ba mye Bulus du son gbaa nha, a kama.
And though they entreated him to have staid longer with them, he did not consent:
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 he took his leave of them, saying, It is necessary for me, all means, to celebrate the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God 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.
And landing at Cesarea, he went up; and having saluted the congregation, 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.
and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch. And having spent some time there, he departed, going through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in a regular manner confirming 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.
Now, a certain Jew, whose name was Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and powerful in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
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.
This person was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught them things of the Lord with great accuracy, being only acquainted with the immersion 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. And Aquila and Priscilla hearing him, took him aside, and explained to him the way of God in a more perfect manner.
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.
And when he intended to go over to Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, exhorting them to receive him. And being arrived there, by his gift he greatly helped those who 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 strenuously debated with the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus is the Messiah.
