< Acts 18 >

1 Paul then left Athens and went to Corinth
Pu pongela ngavile nghavombikhe anglo uPavuli akhahengha khu Atene ukhuluta khu Kolito.
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,
Pu akhanghana nu munu umo uva khu Vuyuta aleikhweilangivwa akhwila uvankeivumbukhu khya Ponto, pu umwene nu mwene va mwena uveikheilangivwa Prisila vainchile ukhuhuma khu Italiya ulwakhuva ukilavuti umbaha vasikhali alanghile ukhuta Avayuta voni vahenghanghe khu Loma; Pu uPauli akhincha khuvene;
3 and because they were in the same business of tent-making, he stayed with them.
Pu uPavuli aleikhulama nu khuvomba navo eimbombo pakhuva umwene alikhuvomba eimbombo eiyeilehine nei ya vene. Ulwakhuva avene vale vahona mahema.
4 He debated in the synagogue every Sabbath, convincing both Jews and Greeks.
Pu uPavuli aleikhunchova navo munyumba ncha khwisayila ifinghono fyoni ifya Sabati. Aleikhuvankuveileila Ava yuta nava Giliki.
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.
Pu lieno uSila nu Timoti vavile vinchile ukhuhuma khu Makedonia, ya pu uPavuli akhavavwa munumbula pu akhava munu vakhuva vula nincha Avayuta ukhuta uYeisu vei Keileisite.
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.”
Pu avene Avayuta vavile vikhumwilula nukhunghekha uPavuli, pu akhakuhuna umwenda nghwa mwene ulujumbe pa miho nghavo, nu khuvavula, ukhuta, “Unkisa ngweinyo nghuveinchanghe pa ntwe palyumwe yumwe; Une saneileinangi neilei ngholofu. Ukhuhulumangha leino ni sikhu inchikonga puniekhuva luteila Avakaya”.
7 He left and went to stay with Titius Justus, who worshiped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Pu leino akhahengha ukhuhumangha pala pu akhaluta khu kaya ya Tito Yusito, Umunu umweideikhi va Nguluve. Einyumba ya mwene yeileipipi nei nyumba ya khweisayeila.
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.
Pu uKilisipo, undonghonchi vanyumba ya khweisayeila paninie na vanu avanyumba ya mwene vakhamweideikha Unkuludeva. Avanu vingi avamu Kolinti vapulikhe uPavuli vuinchova vakheideikha nu khyonchivwa.
9 The Lord told Paul in a vision at night: “Don't be afraid. Speak up, don't keep quiet—
Pu unkuludeva akhambula uPavuli munjosi inchiita, “Ulekhe uvudwanchi puleino unchovanghe eilmenyu ulekhe ukhumunala.
10 because I am with you, and no-one will attack you, for many people in this city are mine.”
Pakhuva une neilei paninie nuve, pu asikhuli uveiyakheiva einghela ukhukhyuvukhila pa nakhukhulemancha, pakhuva na vanu vingi pa vunchenge uvu”.
11 Paul stayed there for eighteen months, teaching the people the word of God.
U Pavuli akhatama ukhwa pa seikhi unghwa mwakha nghumo nei mienchi intanato pakyanya vuimanyeisya eilimenyu lya Nguluve mumbeene.
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.
Pu lieno u Gailo navile aveikhivwe ukhwa indoleli vakheilunga eikhya mu Akaya, Avayuta vakheima vakhava vamwuvukhile uPavuli puvakhangileikha pavuheinghi,
13 “This man is persuading people to worship God illegally,” they declared.
valeikhuta, “Umunu uyu ikhuvasyova avanu lita vamweideikha uNguluve umusalunchevela ululangheilo”.
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.
Pu uPavuli avile inonghwa ukhudeindula undomo anchove pu u nghalioni akhavavula Avayuta akhata, “Umwe mwei Vayuta, engale yeive uyunge aveyangile eilweli ewo vunangi pu yale yiva iweli ukhuta neivapulieheinche.
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.”
Leino ulwakhuva mamenyu ngha matavwa ni ndangeilo ncheinyo, pu leino heinghangha yumwe. Une saninonghwa ukhuva ingh'einghi khunongwa incho.”
16 Then Gallio had them ejected from the court.
U Nghailo avalangheila ukhuta vahenghe pavulongolo vwa vutamo vwa vuheinghi,
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.
Pwu, leino voni puvakha mwibata u Sositeni, undongonchi va vakhatova pavulongolo pa khingoda eikhya vuheinghi. Pu uNgalio ni saleikhusangha khinu eikhyu vivomba.
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.
U Pavule avile atamile pala akhaseikhei akhingi pu akhalekhahana na vakeileisite, akhingeila mungalava akhaluta khu Siliya paninie nu Plisila nu Akwila. Vuvakhale ukhuhengha pu akhakeeta inchweile pakhuva nchale ncha Lweijyiengho.
19 They arrived in Ephesus, where Paul left the others behind. He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews.
Vavile vafikhe khu Efesi, uPavuli akhandekha u Prisila nu Ankwila, pu leino umwene yuywa akhingheila munyumba eiya khwisayeila nukhwinchofanja na Vayuta.
20 They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
Vavile vambulile uPavuli ukhuta ave navo paseikhi nghumwingi umwene pwakhabela.
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.”
Pu akhahenhga khuvene akhavavula ukhuta, “Yanikilivukha khange khulyumwe, eingave vunghane vwa Nghuluve”. Pu pala akhahengha nei ngalava ukhuhuma khu Efesi.
22 After landing at Caesarea he went to greet the church members, and then carried on to Antioch.
Avile afkhe khu Kesaliya, pu akhatongha ukhuluta khwiponia upelela unghwa khu Yelusalemu, pu akhavaya akhiikha khusikha khupelela unghwa khu Antiokia.
23 He spent some time there and then went from town to town through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, encouraging all the believers.
Avile atamile khaseikhi pala pu uPavuli akhahenga akhanghendela khukhilunga eikhya mu Nghalatiya na mu Filingiya pu nukhuvakangancha avakongi voni.
24 In the meantime a Jew named Apollos, originally from Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus. He was a gifted speaker who knew the Scriptures well.
U Nchahudi umo eikheilangivwa vei Apolo, uvei aholiwe khu Alekhisanda, ainchile khu Efesi. Alei kuluhala fincho pakhunchova hange ale manyi va mamenyu anghasimbiwe.
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.
U Apolo avuliwe mumamenyu ngha Nkhuludeva, u muavelile nulunghimbo mu mepo, pualeikhunchova nukhungholokha vunonu pakhumanyisya ulumanyisyo lwa Yeisu pu leino alumanyile iwene ulwoncho lwa Yohani.
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.
U Apolo akhatenghula ukhunchova muvukifu mu tembile. Pu uPlisila nu nkwila vavile vapulikhe puvakhava vumanyani nu mwene puvakhambula einjeila ncha Nghuluve vunonu.
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,
Avile inonghwa ukhuhengha ukhuluta khu Akaya, aveideikhi vakhakangancha einumbula nukhuvasimbeila eikalata avakongi avale khu Akaya ukhuta vave vanu vakhu mwambeileila. Avile afikhe mu nduhungu avatangile fincho aveideikhi vala.
28 because he was able to strongly refute the Jews in public debate, demonstrating from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
Khumakha nu vumanyi vwa mwene, u Apolo avaluleilile Avayuta pavuvalafu vuivonesya ukhukongana nuvusimbe uvwakhuta uYeisu vei Keileisite.
