Acts 18
1 Paul then left Athens and went to Corinth
Lan ya puoli, Polo den ñiani Atena ki gedi Kolinta.
2 where he met a Jew named Aquila. Aquila was originally from Pontus, and had just arrived from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all Jews expelled from Rome. Paul went to see them,
Lan po, o den sua Jufi yendo ke bi yi o Akilasa Pono yua, ke o den cua cancani Italia yeni o pua Pricila kelima loma bado kiloda den cedi leni u paalu ke bi ñani jufinba kuli loma diemani. Nani bi kuli n den pia tuonbuo yendu yeni,
3 and because they were in the same business of tent-making, he stayed with them.
Polo den kali bi deni, ke bi ji den taa ki tuuni. bi den tagi ti gbandiedi.
4 He debated in the synagogue every Sabbath, convincing both Jews and Greeks.
Mi fuodima daali kuli, Polo yen maadi U Tienu maama U Tienu dieli nni, o maama den siiga jufinba leni gelekinba pala.
5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul felt he had to become more direct in what he said, and told the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
Ama Silasa leni Timote n den pundi Meseduna bi den puni bi yula Utienu maama wangima. ki tiendi siedi jufinba po, ke Jesu n tie Kilisiti U Tienu n gandi yua.
6 When they opposed him and cursed him, he shook out his clothes and told them, “Your blood is on your own heads! I am innocent of any guilt, and from now on I will go to the foreigners.”
Lan yaapo jufinba den fii ki pani bi po, ki sugidiba. Polo den fegi o yuli ki mii o tiayiekaadi ki yedi: yi soama n gua ki wuli yi yula po min wani ñana. ki cili leni dinla n baa cili kaa wangidi o labaali ŋamo bi nilanba po.
7 He left and went to stay with Titius Justus, who worshiped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Wan den ñani lan kani o den kua ya joa ke yi o Jusitusa deni, laa Joa den pia Utienu fangili. o diegu den taabi libali maama bagima dieli.
8 Crispus, leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. Many of the people of Corinth who heard the message became believers and were baptized.
Kilisipusa libalimaama bangima dieli yudaano den tuo ki daani Jesu leni o diegunni yaaba. Kolinta yaaba yaabin den cengi Polo maama moko den tuo ki daani Jesu ki go den gaa mi batisima.
9 The Lord told Paul in a vision at night: “Don't be afraid. Speak up, don't keep quiet—
Ǹayengu Odiedo den doagidi Polo o guaminni ki yedi o: ŋan da jie liba, ŋan yaa maadi ki da cedi,
10 because I am with you, and no-one will attack you, for many people in this city are mine.”
kelima n ye leni ŋa. o ba kan sii ŋa bi ki tieni ŋa yaali n bia, n pia n niba yaa doguni tiena niini.
11 Paul stayed there for eighteen months, teaching the people the word of God.
Polo den tieni lan kani binli leni ŋmali luoba Kolinta yaaba siiga ki den wangiba U Tienu maama.
12 However, during the time when Gallio was the governor of Achaia, the Jews united in an attack against Paul and brought him before the court.
Yaa yogunu ke Galiyo den tie Akayi diema Gufeeneli, jufinba den taani noabu ki yie Polo ki den gedini o Gufeeneli bujiali kaanu kani
13 “This man is persuading people to worship God illegally,” they declared.
Ki yedi: Yaa joa yene bangi bi niba ki go tigini ban ya ŋoa U Tienu nani libalimaama n kaa bili mama.
14 But just as Paul was about to defend himself, Gallio told the Jews, “If you Jews were bringing criminal charges or some serious legal offense, there would be a reason for me to listen to your case.
Yaa yogunu ke Polo den yaadi o ŋoabu ki baa maadi; Galiyo den yedi jufinba: li yaabi tie tagili ba bii tuongunda ba nba bi tieni ania ki cengi yi maama.
15 But since you're only arguing over words and names and your own law, then you deal with it yourselves. I won't rule on such matters.”
Ama li ya tie ke yi nia mimaama po, bi a yela lan ya ka yin ŋoa yaa balimaama po, lan wan ŋua yi. mii bua, ki tua yi bujialo laa bonli po.
16 Then Gallio had them ejected from the court.
Galiyo den teli ba, ki yedi ba ban fuadi li bujiali kaanu kani.
17 Then the crowd turned on Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and beat him right outside the court, but Gallio wasn't concerned about this at all.
Lane ke bi den taani ki cuo sositena yua n tie li balimaama bangima dieli yudaano, ki pua o li bujiali kaanu kani. Galiyo, naa den yagi o yama li po.
18 Paul stayed on for a while. Then left the believers and sailed for Syria, taking Priscilla and Aquila along with him. He had his head shaved while in Cenchrae, because he had taken a vow.
Polo den go kali ki waagi Kolinta; li puoli o den cabi o kpiiba ki fii. o den kua ku ñindabiagu ki caa Sili diema, wani leni Pilisila leni Akilasa. o den cedi ke bi kuo o yuli Sankelita dogunni kelima o den niani O tienu u ñoanianu.
19 They arrived in Ephesus, where Paul left the others behind. He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews.
Ban den pundi Efesa, Polo den ŋa o yegininkaaba. o den kua libali maama bangima dielinni ki boe leni jufinba.
20 They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
Bi den mia o wan sedi leni ba dana ba bolee.
21 He said his goodbyes, and set sail from Ephesus, telling them, “I'll come back and see you if it's God's will.”
Ama waa den tuo. o den cabiba ki yedi; li tie tiladi min jaani ya janmin kpendi ne Jelusalema. n ba gua ki cua ki lee yi U Tienu yaa bua. o den ñani Efesa.
22 After landing at Caesarea he went to greet the church members, and then carried on to Antioch.
O den pundi Sesala leni ku ñindabiagu; ki pendi ki gedi Jelusalema. o den fuondi li jandieli yaaba ki go den suagi ki gedi Antiosa.
23 He spent some time there and then went from town to town through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, encouraging all the believers.
Polo den tieni yogunu ba bolee. Antiosa wan den ñani lan lan kani o gedi Galata leni filigi diemani ki gaani ki fuondi o kpiiba lidandanlinni ki go den paagi bi paala.
24 In the meantime a Jew named Apollos, originally from Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus. He was a gifted speaker who knew the Scriptures well.
Laa yogunu Jufi yendo ke bi yi o Apolosa, ke o tie Alesandili dogu yua. o den cua cancanni Efesa.
25 He had been taught the way of the Lord. He was spiritually passionate, and in his speaking and teaching he presented Jesus accurately, but he only knew about John's baptism.
laa joa den bani mi maama leni i diani bonŋanla. Bi den bangi o o diedo sanwadima. o den maadi leni liyankuali ki wangidi O tienu maama ki go congidi bonŋanla ya maama n tuugi leni Jesu, baa leni wan bani Jan ya batisima baba.
26 He started speaking openly in the synagogue. So when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to join them and explained the way of God to him more fully.
O den kua libalimaama bangima dielinni ki maadi leni li papaali. Akilasa leni Plisila n den cengi o maama, bi den ta o ke o ye leni ba ke bi doagidi o po Utienu sanŋoadima.
27 When he decided to go to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples there telling them to welcome him. When he arrived he was very helpful to those who through grace trusted God,
Nani wan n bi bua ki tagini Akayi diemani, o kpiba Jesu nni yaaba n den ye Efesa den paagi o pali. bi go den diani li tili Jesu ŋoadi kaaba yaabin den ye Akayi, ki ban ga o cangu. wan den pundi Akayi leni U Tienu ŋanbili po, o den todi boncianla yaabin den tuo ki daani Jesu.
28 because he was able to strongly refute the Jews in public debate, demonstrating from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
bi kuli nintuali o den nia leni jufinba, ki doagidi ki waani i dianinni ke Jesu n tie Kilisiti U tienu n gagidi yua.
