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 found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome) and [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 occupation, he abode with them, and wrought (for by their occupation 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.
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, 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 when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews, [that] Jesus [was] 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 opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said to them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads: I [am] clean: 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 he departed thence, and entered into the house of a certain man named Justus, [one] that worshiped God, whose house joined close 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.
And Crispus the chief ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians 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.
Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
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 man shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee: 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.
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 the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to 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 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 was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong, or hainous crime, O [ye] Jews, reason would that 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 is a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look ye [to it]: for I will be no judge of such [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.
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of those 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 [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in 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 came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Niwa ba mye Bulus du son gbaa nha, a kama.
When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, 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 bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22 Niwa Bulus a ye grji ni Caesarea, a hon hi ka chi ekklisiya wu Urushelima nda grji hi ni Antioch.
And when he had landed at Cesarea, 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 and went over [all] the country of Galatia 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, born at 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 was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, 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: Whom, when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him to [them], and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
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 was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he had come, helped them much 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 mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus was Christ.
