Masengo 18
1 Payamasile yeleyo, che Paolo ŵatyosile ku Asene ni kwaula ku Kolinto.
And after these things, having left Athens, he 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,
and finding a certain Jew by name Aquila, of Pontus by race, just come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome, ) came to them,
3 ni pakuŵa masengo gao galiji gamo, masengo gakutota mahema, che Paolo ŵatemi nawo ni kupanganya masengo.
and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade.
4 Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lili lyose che Paolo ŵaŵechetesyene ni ŵandu mu nyuumba ja kupopelela achilingaga kwachisya Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki.
And 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.
And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in respect of the word, 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.”
But as they opposed and spoke injuriously, he shook his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head: I [am] pure; from henceforth I will go to the nations.
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.
And departing thence he came to the house of a certain [man], by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined 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.
But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.
9 Chilo chimo Ambuje ŵansalile che Paolo mu yakwiwona, “Kasinjogopa, nlimbile kulalichila pe ni nkaleka kupanganya chinkuchipanganya cho,
And the Lord said by vision in [the] night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;
10 pakuŵa uneji nansyene ndili pamo nomwe. Ngapagwa jwalijose juchalinje kumpoteka pakuŵa pamusi wu ngwete ŵandu ŵajinji.”
because I am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city.
11 Nipele, che Paolo ŵatemi kweleko chaka ni miesi nsano ni umo achajiganyaga ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
And he remained [there] a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
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 consent rose against Paul and led him to 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 as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne 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 it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; [for] I do not intend to be judge of these things.
16 Nipele ŵaaŵinjile ŵanyawo akopoche pa nkungulu.
And 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.
And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about none 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.
And Paul, having yet stayed [there] many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, 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.
and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews.
20 Ŵandu ŵa pelepo ŵachondelele che Paolo atame pamo ni ŵandu wo moŵa gamajinji gane, nambo che Paolo nganasaka.
And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time [with them] he did not accede,
21 Nambo paŵalangaga ŵatite, “Chimuje sooni kukwenu Akunnungu asakaga.” Ni ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa ni kutyoka mu Efeso mula.
but bade them farewell, saying, [I must by all means keep the coming feast at Jerusalem]; I will return to you again, if God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus.
22 Che Paolo paŵaiche ku Kaisalia, ŵajawile ku Yelusalemu kukuukomasya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa kweleko, nipele ŵatuluchile ku Antiokia.
And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he 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.
And having stayed [there] some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, 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.
But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.
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.
He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing 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.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to [them] and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly.
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,
And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who 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 with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
