Acts 18
1 Paul then left Athens and went to Corinth
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, Paulu jáde kúrò ni Ateni lọ sí Kọrinti.
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,
Ó sì rí Júù kan tí a ń pè ní Akuila, tí a bí ni Pọntu, tí ó ti Itali dé ní lọ́ọ́lọ́ọ́, pẹ̀lú Priskilla aya rẹ̀; nítorí tí Kilaudiu pàṣẹ pé, kí gbogbo àwọn Júù jáde kúrò ní Romu. Ó sì tọ̀ wọ́n lọ láti rí wọn.
3 and because they were in the same business of tent-making, he stayed with them.
Nítorí tí òun náà jẹ́ oníṣẹ̀-ọwọ́ kan náà, ó bá wọn jókòó, ó sì ń ṣiṣẹ́: nítorí àgọ́ pípa ni iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọn.
4 He debated in the synagogue every Sabbath, convincing both Jews and Greeks.
Ó sì ń fi ọ̀rọ̀ wé ọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn nínú Sinagọgu lọ́jọjọ́ ìsinmi, ó sì ń yí àwọn Júù àti àwọn Giriki lọ́kàn padà.
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.
Nígbà tí Sila àti Timotiu sì tí Makedonia wá, ọ̀rọ̀ náà ká Paulu lára, ó ń fihàn fún àwọn Júù pé, Jesu ni Kristi náà.
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.”
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì sàtakò rẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì sọ̀rọ̀-òdì, ó gbọ́n aṣọ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀jẹ̀ yin ń bẹ lórí ara yin; ọrùn mi mọ́: láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, èmi yóò tọ àwọn aláìkọlà lọ.”
7 He left and went to stay with Titius Justus, who worshiped God and whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Ó sì lọ kúrò níbẹ̀, ó wọ ilé ọkùnrin kan tí a ń pé ní Titu Justu, ẹni tí o ń sin Ọlọ́run; ilé rẹ̀ sì wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ Sinagọgu tímọ́tímọ́.
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.
Krisipu, olórí Sinagọgu, sì gba Olúwa gbọ́ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ilé rẹ̀, àti ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn ara Kọrinti, nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́, wọ́n gbàgbọ́, a sì bamitiisi wọn.
9 The Lord told Paul in a vision at night: “Don't be afraid. Speak up, don't keep quiet—
Olúwa sì sọ fún Paulu lóru ni ojúran pé, “Má bẹ̀rù, ṣá máa sọ, má sì ṣe pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.
10 because I am with you, and no-one will attack you, for many people in this city are mine.”
Nítorí tí èmí wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, kò sì sí ẹni tí yóò dìde sí ọ láti pa ọ lára: nítorí mo ní ènìyàn púpọ̀ ni ìlú yìí.”
11 Paul stayed there for eighteen months, teaching the people the word of God.
Ó sì jókòó níbẹ̀ ní ọdún kan àti oṣù mẹ́fà, ó ń kọ́ni ní ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run láàrín wọn.
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.
Nígbà tí Gallioni sì jẹ baálẹ̀ Akaia, àwọn Júù fi ìfìmọ̀ṣọ̀kan dìde sí Paulu wọn sì mú un wá síwájú ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́.
13 “This man is persuading people to worship God illegally,” they declared.
Wọ́n wí pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí ń yí àwọn ènìyàn lọ́kàn padà, láti máa sin Ọlọ́run lòdì sí òfin.”
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.
Nígbà tí Paulu ń fẹ́ dáhùn, Gallioni wí fún àwọn Júù pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé ọ̀ràn búburú tàbí tí jàgídíjàgan kan ni, èmi ìbá gbè yín, ẹ̀yin Júù,
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ti ṣe ọ̀ràn nípa ọ̀rọ̀ àti orúkọ, àti ti òfin yín ni, ki ẹ̀yin bojútó o fúnra yín; nítorí tí èmi kò fẹ́ ṣe onídàájọ́ nǹkan báwọ̀nyí.”
16 Then Gallio had them ejected from the court.
Ó sì lé wọn kúrò ní ibi ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́.
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.
Gbogbo àwọn Giriki sì mú Sostene, olórí Sinagọgu, wọ́n sì lù ú níwájú ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́. Gallioni kò sì bìkítà fún nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
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.
Paulu sì dúró sí i níbẹ̀ lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀, nígbà tí ó sì dágbére fún àwọn arákùnrin, ó bá ọkọ̀ ojú omi lọ si Siria, àti Priskilla àti Akuila pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; ó tí fá orí rẹ̀ ni Kenkerea, nítorí tí ó ti jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́.
19 They arrived in Ephesus, where Paul left the others behind. He went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews.
Ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí Efesu, ó sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ níbẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n òun tìkára rẹ̀ wọ inú Sinagọgu lọ, ó sì bá àwọn Júù fi ọ̀rọ̀ wé ọ̀rọ̀.
20 They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀ ẹ́ pé, kí ó bá àwọn jókòó díẹ̀ sí i, ó kọ̀.
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.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ó dágbére fún wọn, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ó tún padà tọ̀ yín wá, bí Ọlọ́run bá fẹ́.” Ó sì lọ kúrò láti Efesu.
22 After landing at Caesarea he went to greet the church members, and then carried on to Antioch.
Nígbà tí ó sì tí gúnlẹ̀ ni Kesarea, ó gòkè lọ si Jerusalẹmu láti kí ìjọ, lẹ́yìn náà ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Antioku.
23 He spent some time there and then went from town to town through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, encouraging all the believers.
Nígbà tí ó sì gbé ọjọ́ díẹ̀ níbẹ̀, ó n lọ, láti káàkiri ni agbègbè Galatia àti Frigia, o ń mu àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn lọ́kàn le.
24 In the meantime a Jew named Apollos, originally from Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus. He was a gifted speaker who knew the Scriptures well.
Júù kan sì wà tí a ń pè ni Apollo, tí a bí ni Alekisandiria, ó wá sí Efesu. Ó ní ẹ̀bùn ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ, ó sì mọ ìwé mímọ́ púpọ̀.
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.
Ọkùnrin yìí ni a tí kọ́ ní ọ̀nà tí Olúwa; ó sì ṣe ẹni tí ó ní ìtara tí ẹ̀mí, ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ ó sì ń kọ́ni ní àwọn ohun tí i ṣe ti Jesu dáradára; kìkì bamitiisi tí Johanu ní ó mọ̀.
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.
Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí fi ìgboyà sọ̀rọ̀ ni Sinagọgu. Nígbà tí Akuila àti Priskilla gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n mú un sọ́dọ̀, wọ́n sì túbọ̀ sọ ọ̀nà Ọlọ́run fún un dájúdájú.
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,
Nígbà tí ó sì ń fẹ́ kọjá lọ sì Akaia, àwọn arákùnrin gbà á ní ìyànjú, wọ́n sì kọ̀wé sí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kí wọ́n gbà á, nígbà tí ó sì dé, ó ràn àwọn tí ó gbàgbọ́ nípasẹ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ lọ́wọ́ púpọ̀.
28 because he was able to strongly refute the Jews in public debate, demonstrating from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
Nítorí tí o sọ àsọyé fún àwọn Júù ní gbangba, ó ń fi í hàn nínú ìwé mímọ́ pé, Jesu ni Kristi.
