Masengo 18
1 Payamasile yeleyo, che Paolo ŵatyosile ku Asene ni kwaula ku Kolinto.
After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
2 Ku Kolinto ko ŵansimene Myahudi jumo jwa ku Ponto liina lyakwe che Akila. Che Akila ŵaliji pamo ni ŵankwawo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Pilisila, ni mmoŵa gagogo pego ŵausile kutyochela ku Italia pakuŵa mwenye che Kilaudio ŵalamwile kuti Ŵayahudi wose atyoche ku Loma. Che Paolo ni ŵajawile kukwalola,
He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
3 ni pakuŵa masengo gao galiji gamo, masengo gakutota mahema, che Paolo ŵatemi nawo ni kupanganya masengo.
and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lili lyose che Paolo ŵaŵechetesyene ni ŵandu mu nyuumba ja kupopelela achilingaga kwachisya Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki.
He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 Che Sila ni che Timoseo paŵaiche kutyochela ku Makedonia, che Paolo ŵalityosisye kwa katema kakajinji kulalichila Liloŵe achalosyaga pangasisa Ŵayahudi kuti Che Yesu ali Chiwombosyo.
When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 Nambo paŵankanile ni kuntukana, che Paolo ŵakung'undile luundu mu iwalo yao paujo pao ni kuti, “Mwajonasikaga, chinnyimanyilile mwachinsyene, uneji nganingola magambo. Ni kutandila sambano chinaajaulile ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.”
When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”
7 Nipele che Paolo ŵatyosile kweleko ni kwaula kutama mu nyuumba ja mundu jumo jwangaŵa Myahudi, juŵaajogopaga Akunnungu, mundu jo liina lyakwe che Tito Yusto, nyuumba jao jaŵandikene ni nyuumba ja kupopelela.
He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Che Kilispo, juŵaliji jwankulu jwa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jao wose ŵaakulupilile Ambuje. Ŵakolinto ŵajinji ŵaupilikanile utenga wo nipele ŵakulupilile ni kubatiswa.
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9 Chilo chimo Ambuje ŵansalile che Paolo mu yakwiwona, “Kasinjogopa, nlimbile kulalichila pe ni nkaleka kupanganya chinkuchipanganya cho,
The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
10 pakuŵa uneji nansyene ndili pamo nomwe. Ngapagwa jwalijose juchalinje kumpoteka pakuŵa pamusi wu ngwete ŵandu ŵajinji.”
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
11 Nipele, che Paolo ŵatemi kweleko chaka ni miesi nsano ni umo achajiganyaga ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Nambo katema che Galio paŵaliji jwankulu jwa chilambo cha Akaya, Ŵayahudi ŵasimene, ŵankamwile che Paolo ni kunjausya ku nkungulu.
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 Ni ŵatite, “Mundu ju akwachisya ŵandu ŵapopelele Akunnungu pangagakuya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.”
saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 Che Paolo akanaŵe kuŵecheta, che Galio ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi, “Mpilikanile ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi! Ikaliji isyene mundu ju aleŵile pane atesile yangalumbana ngampilikanichisye.
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
15 Nambo iŵaga makani ga gali gankati maloŵe ni meena ni malajisyo genu, nlamule mwachinsyene. Uneji ngangusaka kuŵa jwakulamula jwa indu yo!”
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters.”
16 Nipele ŵaaŵinjile ŵanyawo akopoche pa nkungulu.
So he drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Ni ŵandu wose ŵankamwile che Sositene juŵaliji jwankulu jwa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila ni ŵamputile palapala paujo pa nkungulu ula. Nambo che Galio nganaikosya yeleyo.
Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio did not care about any of these things.
18 Che Paolo ŵatemi ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵala ku Kolinto ko moŵa gamajinji. Nipele ŵaalanjile, ŵakwesile ngalaŵa pamo ni che Pilisila ni che Akila ni kwaula ku Silia. Paŵaiche ku Kenkelea, che Paolo ŵamyosile umbo syao mu ntwe ligongo ŵataŵile nasili.
Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 Ni ŵaiche ku Efeso, kweleko che Paolo ŵalesile che Pilisila ni che Akila, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela ni kutanda kuusyausyana ni Ŵayahudi.
He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Ŵandu ŵa pelepo ŵachondelele che Paolo atame pamo ni ŵandu wo moŵa gamajinji gane, nambo che Paolo nganasaka.
When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
21 Nambo paŵalangaga ŵatite, “Chimuje sooni kukwenu Akunnungu asakaga.” Ni ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa ni kutyoka mu Efeso mula.
but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Che Paolo paŵaiche ku Kaisalia, ŵajawile ku Yelusalemu kukuukomasya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa kweleko, nipele ŵatuluchile ku Antiokia.
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
23 Che Paolo ŵatemi kweleko moŵa kanandipe ni ŵatandite ulendo achipitilaga ku Galatia ni ku Filigia achalimbisyaga mitima ŵandu wose ŵakwakuya Che Yesu.
Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
24 Nipele Myahudi jumo liina lyakwe che Apolo mundu jwa ku Alekisandilia, ŵaiche ku Efeso. Mundu ju ŵaliji jwakuŵecheta uchenene ni juŵagamanyililaga Malembelo ga Akunnungu.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 Mundu ju ŵajiganyikwe litala lya Ambuje ni mu mbumu ŵachalilaga kusala ngani si Che Yesu, ŵajiganyisye chenene ngani si Che Yesu namuno ŵaumanyilile ubatiso u che Yohana pe.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Che Pilisila ni che Akila paŵampilikene mundu jo ali nkuŵecheta mu nyuumba ja kupopelela pangajogopa, ŵanjigele kumangwao ni kunjiganya Litala lya Akunnungu kwa uchenene nnope.
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Che Apolo paŵasachile kwaula ku Akaya, ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵa ku Efeso ŵanlimbisye ntima ni kwalembela ŵakulijiganya ŵa ku Akaya kuti ampochele. Che Apolo paŵaiche kweleko, Akunnungu ŵankamuchisye mu upile wao, ni ŵakombwele kwakamusya nnope ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu,
When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
28 kwa ukombole wao wa kuŵecheta ŵapundile Ŵayahudi paujo pa ŵandu achalosyaga Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito.
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
