Acts 18
1 Now after these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Lanya bona ń́ pendi, Pɔli ń ñ̃a Ateni, ki gedi Korenti.
2 And encountering a certain 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 depart from Rome), he joined 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 because he practiced the same trade, he stayed on with them and worked (their trade was tentmaker).
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 in the synagogue he would reason with both Jews and Greeks, trying to persuade them.
Pɔli den wangi mi maama li jaandieli nni mi fuodma daali. O den maadi ke Grekinba yeni Juufinba tuo ki ga o maama.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the Spirit, solemnly insisting to the Jews: 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 since they kept contradicting and blaspheming, he shook his clothes and said to them: “Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean. 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 he moved from there into the house of a man named Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Ke o ñani lankani, ki gedi Titiyusi Justusi, ya ja n pugi U Tienu deni. O deni den ki fagi yeni li jaandieli,
8 Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household; and as they were hearing, many of the Corinthians were believing and being 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 Now the Lord said to Paul by a vision at night: “Do not be afraid; rather speak and do not keep silent,
Ke O Diedo legdi Pɔli po ti dangdi nni ku ñiagu ki maadi, “Da jie, ama ya maadi ki da ŋmini.
10 because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm 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 he stayed on for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
Pɔli den tieni li kani binli yeni bina luoba, ki tundi ba, ki wangi ba U Tienu maama.
12 Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to 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 saying, “This fellow persuades the people to worship God contrary to the law.”
ki maadi, “Ya nilo ne bɔndi bi niba ke bi pugi U Tienu, ama ti yikodi naa cabi yeni”
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If there really was some misdeed or wicked crime, O Jews, there would be reason for me to bear with you;
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 an issue over a word and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; because I refuse to be a judge of such matters.”
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 from the judgment seat.
Galio ń beli ba ki ñani ba ti buudi diegu nni.
17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was a delay 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 still remained there a good while, then took leave of the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila (he had shaved his head in Cenchrea, because he had a vow).
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 He came to Ephesus and left them there (after having entered the synagogue 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 a longer time with them, he did not consent;
Bi den mia ke wan kali bi kani waamu, wan yie.
21 rather he took leave of them saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing.” Then 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 he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church [in Jerusalem], he returned to Antioch.
Pɔli ń pundi Sesare, wan do, ki fuondi Jerusalema Kiristi nitaanli, ki ñani lankani, ki jiidi ki gedi Antiyosi.
23 After spending some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, 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 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, mighty in the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus.
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 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, although 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 So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside 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 he decided to go across into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to receive him; upon arriving he was a great help to those who had believed through the Grace;
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 because he kept refuting the Jews vigorously, publicly, demonstrating Jesus to be the Christ, from the Scriptures.
Apolɔsi den yaadi Juufinba asala siiga nni, ki nia yeni ba, ki taadi i diani banma ki wangi ba ke Jesu n tie Kiristi.
