Ndu Manzaniba 18
1 Hu gon kpi biyi, Bulus a rju rji ni Athens nda hi ni Corinth.
After this, Paul departed from 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, of Pontus by birth, who had recently come from Italy along with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul 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 stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers 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.
Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue and tried 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.
When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit and testified 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 the Jews opposed him and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be upon your own heads! I am innocent. 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 he moved on from there and went to the house of a man named Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to 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.
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, when they heard, 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 said to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid, but speak and 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 yoʋ, and no one will attack yoʋ to do yoʋ harm, for 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 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 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 is persuading people to worship God in a manner 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.
But just as Paul was about to open his mouth to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or evil misdeed, O Jews, I would bear with you, as is reasonable.
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 question about words, names, and your own law, see to it yourselves, for I do not want to be a judge of such things.”
16 Gallio a duba rju dinkon ni ruron gaatre'a.
So 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.
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. But none of these things were of any 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.
After staying in Corinth for many more days, Paul took leave of the brothers and set sail for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. (Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae because he was under 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.
When he arrived at Ephesus, he left Priscilla and Aquila there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Niwa ba mye Bulus du son gbaa nha, a kama.
When they asked him to stay with them for a longer period of time, 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.
However, as he took leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep the coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return to you again, God willing.” Then 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 he arrived at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then 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 spending some time there, he departed and went 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, an Alexandrian by birth, arrived in 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. Being fervent in spirit, he spoke and accurately taught the facts about the Lord, though he knew only about 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.
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God in greater detail.
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 Apollos wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples, encouraging them to receive him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who had become believers 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 powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
