Acts 18
1 After these things, having departed from Athens, he arrived at Corinth.
Mambu momo bu mavioka, Polo wukatuka mu Atene, wuyenda ku Kolinto.
2 And upon finding a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all Jews to depart from Rome, ) he met with them.
Wubuana Nyuda wumosi, dizina diandi Akilasi, wubutukila ku Ponti; buna bosi kuandi kabedi ku Itali ayi nketoꞌandi Pilisiye. Bila ntinu Klode wutuma ti bamana kuka Bayuda boso baba ku Loma. Polo wufubakana yawu.
3 And because he was of the same trade, he lodged with them and was working. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.)
Sumbu baba salanga kisalu kimosi kitunga zinzo zi ngoto, Polo wuvuandayawu ayi basala va kimosi.
4 And he was arguing in the synagogue on every Sabbath, introducing the name of the Lord Jesus. And he was persuading Jews and Greeks.
Kadika lumbu ki saba, Polo wuba longanga mu nzo lukutukunu, wuwilukisa Bayuda ayi basi Ngelese.
5 And when Silas and Timothy had arrived from Macedonia, Paul stood firm in the Word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
Sila ayi Timote bu baba ku Maseduani, buna Polo wukiyekula mu kisalu ki longa ayi telimina Yesu kimbangi kuidi Bayuda ti niandi Klisto.
6 But since they were contradicting him and blaspheming, he shook out his garments and said to them: “Your blood is on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.”
Vayi Bayuda bu bantinguna ayi bu bavueza Klisto, Polo wunikuna minledi miandi ayi wuba kamba: —Bika menga meno matombolo va mbata mintu mieno. Tona buabu ndieka kuenda longi Bapakanu.
7 And moving from that place, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus the Just, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoined to the synagogue.
Bu kabotuka vana, wukota ku nzo mutu wumosi, dizina diandi Titiusi Yusitusi, wuba sadilanga Nzambi. Nzoꞌandi yiba yifikama ayi nzo lukutukunu.
8 Now Crispus, a leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with his entire house. And many of the Corinthians, upon hearing, believed and were baptized.
Vayi Kilisipusi, pfumu nzo lukutukunu ayi basi nzoꞌandi boso bawilukila Pfumu. Basi Kolinto bawombo, bu banwa buna bawilukila ayi babotama.
9 Then the Lord said to Paul, through a vision in the night: “Do not be afraid. Instead, speak out and do not be silent.
Lumbu kimosi va builu, Pfumu wukamba Polo mu tsongolo ti: —Bika mona boma! Longa kaka! Kadi ba dio sui!
10 For I am with you. And no one will take hold of you, so as to do you harm. For many of the people in this city are with me.”
Bila minu ndidi yaku! Kadi mutu kalendi kubuila ko mukuvanga phasi bila ndidi mu divula diadi!
11 Then he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
Polo mvu mvimba ayi zingondi zisambanu kakadila ku Kolinto, wuba longanga mambu ma Nzambi.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul. And they brought him to the tribunal,
Vayi thangu Ngalioni kabiadila mu Akayi, Bayuda bu bawizana va kimosi bayendila Polo manenga, bankanga ayi bannata ku ntiliminadu.
13 saying, “He persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
Kuna bamfundila: —Mutu wawu weti wilukisa batu mu diambu basambila Nzambimu phila yikandika Mina.
14 Then, when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If this were some matter of injustice, or a wicked deed, O noble Jews, I would support you, as is proper.
Vayi Polo bu kedi katona yoluka, Ngalioni wukamba Bayuda ti: —A beno basi Yuda! Enati mutu wawu masumu kavodidi voti mambu mambimbi kavengi, nganu ndieka vibidila ku luwa.
15 Yet if truly these are questions about a word and names and your law, you should see to it yourselves. I will not be the judge of such things.”
Vayi enati bidi biuvu bitedi mambu, mazina ayi Mina mieno, buna bika lutala mawu beno veka. Minu mbengi ba zuzi mu mambu momo.
16 And he ordered them from the tribunal.
Wuba kuka ku ntiliminadu.
17 But they, apprehending Sosthenes, a leader of the synagogue, beat him in front of the tribunal. And Gallio showed no concern for these things.
Batu boso bu babuila Sositeni, pfumu nzo lukutukunu, bamfuza khuba vana nganda ntiliminadu. Vayi Ngalioni kasi kota mambu beni ko.
18 Yet truly, Paul, after he had remained for many more days, having said goodbye to the brothers, sailed into Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had made a vow.
Polo wubuela kala kuna bilumbu biwombo, buna wubika bakhomba, wukota mu masuwa mu kuenda ku Sili va kimosi ayi Akilasi ayi Pilisiye. Bu kavukusu dikungulu ku Sansela, bila tsila kavana.
19 And he arrived at Ephesus, and he left them behind there. Yet truly, he himself, entering into the synagogue, was disputing with the Jews.
Bu katula ku Efeso, Polo wubika Akilasi ayi Pilisiye ayi wukotaniandi veka mu nzo lukutukunu; wusolula ayi Bayuda.
20 Then, although they were asking him to remain for a longer time, he would not agree.
Banleba kakala yawu bilumbu biwombo vayi wumanga kuandi.
21 Instead, saying goodbye and telling them, “I will return to you again, God willing,” he set out from Ephesus.
Wubabika ayi wuba kamba: —Enati Nzambi tidi, ndiela kuiza kulubumina! Wukota mu masuwa, wubika Efeso.
22 And after going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and he greeted the Church there, and then he descended to Antioch.
Bu katula ku Sezale, wuyenda ku Yelusalemi mu vana badibundu mboti. Kuzimunina, wuyenda ku Antioshi.
23 And having spent some length of time there, he set out, and he walked in order through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Bu kakala kuna ndambu bilumbu, wuyenda ayi wuviokila mu zunga ki Ngalatiya ayi ki Filingi mu kindisa minlonguki mioso.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man who was powerful with the Scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.
Nyuda wumosi, dizina diandi Apolo, wuyiza ku Efeso wuba muisi Alekisandiya wuba mutu wumosi wuludede ayi wuzaba bumboti masonoko.
25 He was learned in the Way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching the things that are of Jesus, but knowing only the baptism of John.
Niandi wukilongolo nzila yi Pfumu, wuba wu fuluka mu Pheve, wutuba, wulonga boso bufueni mambu mitedi Yesu. Niandi wuzaba kaka malongi ma mbotokolo yi botika Yowani.
26 And so, he began to act faithfully in the synagogue. And when Priscilla and Aquila had heard him, they took him aside and expounded the Way of the Lord to him more thoroughly.
Niandi wulonga mu nzo yi lukutukunu mu kambu memata. Pilisiye ayi Akilasi bu banwa buna bannata ku nzoꞌawu; batona ku nsudikisa bumboti nzila yi Nzambi.
27 Then, since he wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers wrote an exhortation to the disciples, so that they might accept him. And when he had arrived, he held many discussions with those who had believed.
Sumbu kaba mayindu makuenda ku Akayi, bakhomba zisonikina minlonguki ayi baba kindisa muingi banyakula bumboti. Buna katula kuna, wusadisa batu bobo bawilukila mu nlemvo wowo katambula.
28 For he was vehemently and publicly reproving the Jews, by revealing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Bila wuba bedisanga Bayuda va nyalu nguba, wumonisa mu masonoko ti Yesu niandi Klisto.
