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 having found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he came 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 because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and worked; for they were tent-makers by trade.

4 Niki Bulus a son zi shle bla ni sinagog chachu ni vi Sati (Sabbath), nda ni gbron mren Yahudawa baba Greek ba.

And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath, and endeavored to persuade both Jews and 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 when both Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was wholly engaged in the word, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus was 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.”

And when they set themselves against him, and reviled, he shook his garments, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean; from this time 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 he departed thence, and went to the house of a certain man, named Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was very near 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.

And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians upon hearing 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.

And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not 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 thee, and no one shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee; 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;

And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against 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.”

saying, This man persuadeth people 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 as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some act of injustice or wicked misdeed, O Jews, with reason 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 questions of doctrine, and names, and your law, look to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of these matters.

16 Gallio a duba rju dinkon ni ruron gaatre'a.

And he drove them 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.

But they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat; and Gallio cared for none of these things.

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, having stayed many days longer, took leave of the brethren, and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, 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 they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

20 Niwa ba mye Bulus du son gbaa nha, a kama.

And when they asked him to stay longer, he consented not;

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 having taken leave of them, saying, I will return to you, if God will, 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 having landed at Caesarea and gone up and saluted the church, 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 after he had spent some time there, he departed, going through the Galatian country and Phrygia in order, 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.

And a certain Jew, named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty 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 man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught correctly the things concerning Jesus, knowing 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. But Aquila and Priscilla having heard him, took him to them, and set forth to him the way [[of the Lord]] more fully.

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 wished to go over into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to give him welcome; and when he was come, he gave much aid to those who had believed through grace.

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 publicly confuted the Jews, with power, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
