Acts 18
1 After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth.
Tukun ma inge Paul el fahsr liki acn Athens ac som nu Corinth.
2 And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome, ) he came to them.
In acn Corinth el sun sie mwet Jew pangpang Aquila, su isusla in acn Pontus ac tufahna foloko liki acn Italy welul Priscilla mutan kial, mweyen Tokosra Fulat Claudius el sap mwet Jew nukewa in som liki acn Rome. Paul el som nu yoroltal,
3 And because he was of the same trade, he remained with them, and wrought; (now they were tentmakers by trade.)
ac ke sripen eltal mwet orekma ke lohm nuknuk oapana Paul, el muta yoroltal ac welultal orekma.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus; and he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Ke Sabbath nukewa el sramsram ac topuk mwet uh in iwen lolngok, ac srike in kifus mwet Jew ac mwet Greek in wela lulalfongi.
5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus is the Christ.
Ke Silas ac Timothy tuku Macedonia me, Paul el sang pacl lal nukewa nu ke fahkak kas, ac el fahkak kalem nu sin mwet Jew uh lah Jesus pa Christ.
6 But they gainsaying and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
Ke elos lainul ac fahk ma koluk kacl, el osrokla kutkut ke nuknuk lal uh in akkalemye lah el lainulos pac, ac el fahk nu selos, “Kowos fin tuhlac, ma na kowos sifacna oru! Wangin ma luk kac. Ingela nga ac som nu yurin mwet Gentile.”
7 And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue.
Ouinge el som lukelos ac muta in lohm sin sie mwet Gentile su alu nu sin God, pangpang Titius Justus. Lohm sel uh fototo na nu ke iwen lolngok uh.
8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.
Crispus, sie sin mwet kol lun iwen lolngok, el lulalfongi ke Leum, wi pac sou lal nukewa; ac pus pac mwet saya in Corinth lohng kas lal Paul, ac lulalfongi ac baptaisla.
9 And the Lord said to Paul in the nights, by a vision: Do not fear, but speak; and hold not thy peace,
Sie fong ah Paul el liye aruruma se, ac el liye mu Leum El fahk nu sel, “Nimet kom sangeng, a kom in kaskas na ac tia fuhleak,
10 Because I am with thee: and no man shall set upon thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.
tuh nga ac wi kom. Wangin mwet ac ku in oru kutena ma koluk nu sum, mweyen pus mwet luk in siti se inge.”
11 And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
Ouinge Paul el muta we ke yac se tafu, ac luti nu sin mwet uh ke kas lun God.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
Ke touyak Gallio elan governor lun Rome in acn Achaia, mwet Jew uh tukeni nu sie, sruokilya Paul ac usalak nu in nununku.
13 Saying: This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
Elos fahk, “Mwet se inge srike in kifasla mwet uh in alu nu sin God in ouiya su lain ma sap uh!”
14 And when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: If it were some matter of injustice, or an heinous deed, O Jews, I should with reason bear with you.
Paul el akola in sramsram ke Gallio el fahk nu sin mwet Jew uh, “Mwet se inge funu orala sie ma sutuu ku ma koluk na lulap, lukun oasr sripa nga in mongfisrasr nu suwos mwet Jew an.
15 But if they be questions of word and names, and of your law, look you to it: I will not be judge of such things.
Tuh ke sripen akukuin lowos an ma na ke kas, ac inen mwet, ac ke ma sap lowos sifacna uh, kowos sifacna aksuwosyela. Nga ac tia nununku kain ouiya ingan.”
16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.
Ac el luselosyak liki acn in nununku uh.
17 And all laying hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the judgment seat; and Gallio cared for none of those things.
Elos nufon sruokilya Sosthenes, sie pac sin mwet kol lun iwen lolngok uh, ac onel ke mutun acn in nununku uh. Tuh Gallio el tiana mayak kac.
18 But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae: for he had a vow.
Paul el mutana yurin mwet lulalfongi uh in Corinth ke len pus, na el wilkas nu selos, ac usal Priscilla ac Aquila welul in kal som nu Syria. Meet liki el oayak liki acn Cenchreae, el sang mangsrasraiyukla sifal ke sripen el tuh orala sie wulela ku nu sin God.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there. But he himself entering into the synagogue, disputed with the Jews.
Elos sun acn Ephesus, ac Paul el fahsr lukel Priscilla ac Aquila we. El utyak nu ke iwen lolngok, ac sramsram ac asiyuki yurin mwet Jew uh.
20 And when they desired him, that he would tarry a longer time, he consented not;
Kutu mwet we elos siyuk elan muta paht, tuh el srangesr.
21 But taking his leave, and saying: I will return to you again, God willing, he departed from Ephesus.
El wilkas nu selos ac fahk, “Fin ou lungse lun God, nga fah sifilpa foloko nu yuruwos.” Na el kal som liki acn Ephesus.
22 And going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and saluted the church, and so came down to Antioch.
Ke el oai Caesarea, el som nu Jerusalem ac paing church in acn we, na el som nu Antioch.
23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, confirming all the disciples.
Tukun el muta we kitin pacl, el som ac fahsr sasla in acn Galatia ac Phrygia, ac akkeye mwet lulalfongi nukewa.
24 Now a certain Jew, named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, one mighty in the scriptures.
In pacl sac mwet Jew se pangpang Apollos, su isusla in Alexandria, el tuku nu Ephesus. El sie mwet na pah in kas, ac arulana yohk etu lal ke Ma Simusla.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, spoke, and taught diligently the things that are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
Lutiyuk el tari ke Inkanek lun Leum, ac el arulana moniyuk ac oaru in sulkakin mwe luti pwaye ke Jesus. Tusruktu baptais na lal John pa el etu kac uh.
26 This man therefore began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Whom when Priscilla and Aquila had heard, they took him to them, and expounded to him the way of the Lord more diligently.
El mutawauk in kaskas pulaik in iwen lolngok. Ke Priscilla ac Aquila eltal lohng sramsram lal, eltal usalla nu lohm seltal ah, ac aketeya nu sel ac akkalemye suwohs ke Inkanek lun God.
27 And whereas he was desirous to go to Achaia, the brethren exhorting, wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, when he was come, helped them much who had believed.
Na Apollos el sulela elan som nu Achaia. Mwet lulalfongi Ephesus elos kasrel ac sim nu sin mwet lulalfongi in Achaia, ac kwafe elos in paingul. Ke el sun acn we, el arulana kasrelos su wela tari lulalfongi ke sripen kulang lun God.
28 For with much vigour he convinced the Jews openly, shewing by the scriptures, that Jesus is the Christ.
El arulana lain mwet Jew ke elos sramsram in walil uh, ac el orekmakin kas in Ma Simusla in akpwayei lah Jesus pa Christ.
