Acts 18
1 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Lanya bona ń́ pendi, Pɔli ń ñ̃a Ateni, ki gedi Korenti.
2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
Likani, wan cendi Juufi ke bi yi o Akila, ke bi mali o Pɔnti, ke o dá ñani Itali ki pundi, wani yeni o denpua Prisila, kelima Kulodi den ñani bu li ñɔbonli ke Juufinba kuli ke ban ña Roma dogu nni. Pɔli ǹ tuogi ba.
3 and he stayed and worked with them because they were tentmakers by trade, just as he was.
Kelima bi den taa kpenkpendtuonli i, wan kali yeni ba ban ya tuuni, kelima bi den caandi ti jondi i ki kuadi.
4 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
Pɔli den wangi mi maama li jaandieli nni mi fuodma daali. O den maadi ke Grekinba yeni Juufinba tuo ki ga o maama.
5 And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
Ama Silasi yeni Timote ń ñani Maseduani, ki jiidi ki cua, Foŋanma ń niini Pɔli wan kadi ki waani yeni i mɔni ke Jesu n tie Kiristi.
6 But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Juufinba ń yie, ki sugdi o, Pɔli ń yogi o tialakaadi bi po, ki maadi ba, “I sɔma ń guani ki wuli i yucela po; Mini naa pia tagliba kuli. Lan cili mɔlane ki ji ya caa, n ba gedi bi nilanba kani i”
7 So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
Ke o ñani lankani, ki gedi Titiyusi Justusi, ya ja n pugi U Tienu deni. O deni den ki fagi yeni li jaandieli,
8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.
Krispus, li jaandieli yudaano den taani ki daani O Diedo nni wani yeni yaaba n ye o deni kuli; ke Korenti niba yaaba n gbadi li maama kuli den tuo ki duu U Kiristi nni yeni mi ñinwulma bogdili.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.
Ke O Diedo legdi Pɔli po ti dangdi nni ku ñiagu ki maadi, “Da jie, ama ya maadi ki da ŋmini.
10 For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”
Kelima, N ye yeni a, ke obakuli kan bigni ke wan tieni a yaali n bia, kelima n pia bi niba ke bi yabi u dociamu ne nni”
11 So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.
Pɔli den tieni li kani binli yeni bina luoba, ki tundi ba, ki wangi ba U Tienu maama.
12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
Ama Galio ń tua Asihaya gufeneri, Juufinba ń fiini ki nanga Pɔli po, ki gedi yeni o ti buudi danba kani,
13 “This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
ki maadi, “Ya nilo ne bɔndi bi niba ke bi pugi U Tienu, ama ti yikodi naa cabi yeni”
14 But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
Lanyognu, Pɔli ń ya bua ga mi maama, Galio ń maadi Juufinba, “Yinba, Juufinba, li ya bi tie jodi bii tuonbiadi maama, li bi baa pia u sanu ke min maadi yeni yi.
15 But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
Ama nani lan tie lanbona yeni yela maama yeni i maabilkacema yeni ii, yinba mɔno ń ŋanbi ma i ŋmiali nni. N ki bua lan ya maama buudi daano.”
16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
Galio ń beli ba ki ñani ba ti buudi diegu nni.
17 At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
Lanwani ii, bikuli ń taani ki cuo Sosteni, yua den tie li jaandieli yudaano, puapua o ti buudi diegu cancanli. Ama Galio nan den ki songi ban tie yaali.
18 Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
Pɔli den waagi li kani waamu yeni o kpiiba, ki ti fii ki cabi ba ku kua ku ñinbiagu ki gedi Siri wani yeni Prisila yeni Akila. Wan ba fii li ñinbiayaali kani, o den cedi ke bi kuo o Sankreya dogu nni kelima o den niani U Tienu ke o baa ŋua Nasaleti ñɔmaama i.
19 When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
Ban pundi Efesa, Pɔli ń cabi Prisila yeni Akila lankani, ki gedi obá li jaadieli nni ki ban ya tundi Juufinba.
20 When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
Bi den mia ke wan kali bi kani waamu, wan yie.
21 But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.
O den cabi ba, ki yedi ba, “N ba guani i kani li ya tie U Tienu buama.” ki fii Efesa.
22 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.
Pɔli ń pundi Sesare, wan do, ki fuondi Jerusalema Kiristi nitaanli, ki ñani lankani, ki jiidi ki gedi Antiyosi.
23 After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Wan kali likani waamu, wan fii likani ki toli Galatia yeni Prijia diema nni ki ya paandi Kiristi ŋɔdkaaba kuli.
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.
Juufi ja, ke bi yi o Apolɔsi ke bi mali o Aleksandri ń cua Efesa. O den bani mi maama, ki go paa mi dianma nni.
25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
Bi den kuani o O Diedo maama tundma cogu. O yantiali den tiegi yeni U Tienu maama, o den maadi ki go maali ki li tuagi yeni Jesu maama. Ama o den bani Jan ñinwulma bogdili baba i.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him in and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Apolɔsi den fuoni o yama, ki maadi li jaandieli nni. Ama Prisila yeni Akila ń cengi o maama, ban piadi yeni o ki ŋanbi ki waani o O Diedo sanu.
27 When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
Wan den bua wan pendi ki gedi Acihayia, o kpiiba den paani o pali, ki diani li tili, ki teni Acihayia Kiristi ŋɔdkaaba ki waani ba ke ban ga o cangu. Wan pundi likani, o den todi U Tienu ŋanbli ń cedi ke yaaba duu Jesu po.
28 For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Apolɔsi den yaadi Juufinba asala siiga nni, ki nia yeni ba, ki taadi i diani banma ki wangi ba ke Jesu n tie Kiristi.
