< Acts 18 >
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Pu pongela ngavile nghavombikhe anglo uPavuli akhahengha khu Atene ukhuluta khu Kolito.
2 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,
Pu akhanghana nu munu umo uva khu Vuyuta aleikhweilangivwa akhwila uvankeivumbukhu khya Ponto, pu umwene nu mwene va mwena uveikheilangivwa Prisila vainchile ukhuhuma khu Italiya ulwakhuva ukilavuti umbaha vasikhali alanghile ukhuta Avayuta voni vahenghanghe khu Loma; Pu uPauli akhincha khuvene;
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Pu uPavuli aleikhulama nu khuvomba navo eimbombo pakhuva umwene alikhuvomba eimbombo eiyeilehine nei ya vene. Ulwakhuva avene vale vahona mahema.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Pu uPavuli aleikhunchova navo munyumba ncha khwisayila ifinghono fyoni ifya Sabati. Aleikhuvankuveileila Ava yuta nava Giliki.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Pu lieno uSila nu Timoti vavile vinchile ukhuhuma khu Makedonia, ya pu uPavuli akhavavwa munumbula pu akhava munu vakhuva vula nincha Avayuta ukhuta uYeisu vei Keileisite.
6 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!”
Pu avene Avayuta vavile vikhumwilula nukhunghekha uPavuli, pu akhakuhuna umwenda nghwa mwene ulujumbe pa miho nghavo, nu khuvavula, ukhuta, “Unkisa ngweinyo nghuveinchanghe pa ntwe palyumwe yumwe; Une saneileinangi neilei ngholofu. Ukhuhulumangha leino ni sikhu inchikonga puniekhuva luteila Avakaya”.
7 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.
Pu leino akhahengha ukhuhumangha pala pu akhaluta khu kaya ya Tito Yusito, Umunu umweideikhi va Nguluve. Einyumba ya mwene yeileipipi nei nyumba ya khweisayeila.
8 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.
Pu uKilisipo, undonghonchi vanyumba ya khweisayeila paninie na vanu avanyumba ya mwene vakhamweideikha Unkuludeva. Avanu vingi avamu Kolinti vapulikhe uPavuli vuinchova vakheideikha nu khyonchivwa.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
Pu unkuludeva akhambula uPavuli munjosi inchiita, “Ulekhe uvudwanchi puleino unchovanghe eilmenyu ulekhe ukhumunala.
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Pakhuva une neilei paninie nuve, pu asikhuli uveiyakheiva einghela ukhukhyuvukhila pa nakhukhulemancha, pakhuva na vanu vingi pa vunchenge uvu”.
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
U Pavuli akhatama ukhwa pa seikhi unghwa mwakha nghumo nei mienchi intanato pakyanya vuimanyeisya eilimenyu lya Nguluve mumbeene.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Pu lieno u Gailo navile aveikhivwe ukhwa indoleli vakheilunga eikhya mu Akaya, Avayuta vakheima vakhava vamwuvukhile uPavuli puvakhangileikha pavuheinghi,
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
valeikhuta, “Umunu uyu ikhuvasyova avanu lita vamweideikha uNguluve umusalunchevela ululangheilo”.
14 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;
Pu uPavuli avile inonghwa ukhudeindula undomo anchove pu u nghalioni akhavavula Avayuta akhata, “Umwe mwei Vayuta, engale yeive uyunge aveyangile eilweli ewo vunangi pu yale yiva iweli ukhuta neivapulieheinche.
15 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.”
Leino ulwakhuva mamenyu ngha matavwa ni ndangeilo ncheinyo, pu leino heinghangha yumwe. Une saninonghwa ukhuva ingh'einghi khunongwa incho.”
16 So he drove them from the judgment seat.
U Nghailo avalangheila ukhuta vahenghe pavulongolo vwa vutamo vwa vuheinghi,
17 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.
Pwu, leino voni puvakha mwibata u Sositeni, undongonchi va vakhatova pavulongolo pa khingoda eikhya vuheinghi. Pu uNgalio ni saleikhusangha khinu eikhyu vivomba.
18 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.
U Pavule avile atamile pala akhaseikhei akhingi pu akhalekhahana na vakeileisite, akhingeila mungalava akhaluta khu Siliya paninie nu Plisila nu Akwila. Vuvakhale ukhuhengha pu akhakeeta inchweile pakhuva nchale ncha Lweijyiengho.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Vavile vafikhe khu Efesi, uPavuli akhandekha u Prisila nu Ankwila, pu leino umwene yuywa akhingheila munyumba eiya khwisayeila nukhwinchofanja na Vayuta.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Vavile vambulile uPavuli ukhuta ave navo paseikhi nghumwingi umwene pwakhabela.
21 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.
Pu akhahenhga khuvene akhavavula ukhuta, “Yanikilivukha khange khulyumwe, eingave vunghane vwa Nghuluve”. Pu pala akhahengha nei ngalava ukhuhuma khu Efesi.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Avile afkhe khu Kesaliya, pu akhatongha ukhuluta khwiponia upelela unghwa khu Yelusalemu, pu akhavaya akhiikha khusikha khupelela unghwa khu Antiokia.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
Avile atamile khaseikhi pala pu uPavuli akhahenga akhanghendela khukhilunga eikhya mu Nghalatiya na mu Filingiya pu nukhuvakangancha avakongi voni.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
U Nchahudi umo eikheilangivwa vei Apolo, uvei aholiwe khu Alekhisanda, ainchile khu Efesi. Alei kuluhala fincho pakhunchova hange ale manyi va mamenyu anghasimbiwe.
25 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.
U Apolo avuliwe mumamenyu ngha Nkhuludeva, u muavelile nulunghimbo mu mepo, pualeikhunchova nukhungholokha vunonu pakhumanyisya ulumanyisyo lwa Yeisu pu leino alumanyile iwene ulwoncho lwa Yohani.
26 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.
U Apolo akhatenghula ukhunchova muvukifu mu tembile. Pu uPlisila nu nkwila vavile vapulikhe puvakhava vumanyani nu mwene puvakhambula einjeila ncha Nghuluve vunonu.
27 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;
Avile inonghwa ukhuhengha ukhuluta khu Akaya, aveideikhi vakhakangancha einumbula nukhuvasimbeila eikalata avakongi avale khu Akaya ukhuta vave vanu vakhu mwambeileila. Avile afikhe mu nduhungu avatangile fincho aveideikhi vala.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Khumakha nu vumanyi vwa mwene, u Apolo avaluleilile Avayuta pavuvalafu vuivonesya ukhukongana nuvusimbe uvwakhuta uYeisu vei Keileisite.
