Acts 18
1 After these things having departed from Athens, he came to Corinth.
Mambu momo bu mavioka, Polo wukatuka mu Atene, wuyenda ku Kolinto.
2 And having found a certain Jew by name Aquila, a Pontic by race, having recently come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife; because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: he came to them:
Wubuana Nyuda wumosi, dizina diandi Akilasi, wubutukila ku Ponti; buna bosi kuandi kabedi ku Itali ayi nketoꞌandi Pilisiye. Bila ntinu Klode wutuma ti bamana kuka Bayuda boso baba ku Loma. Polo wufubakana yawu.
3 and because they were of the same craft, abode with them, and they labored: for they were tentmakers by trade.
Sumbu baba salanga kisalu kimosi kitunga zinzo zi ngoto, Polo wuvuandayawu ayi basala va kimosi.
4 And he spoke in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
Kadika lumbu ki saba, Polo wuba longanga mu nzo lukutukunu, wuwilukisa Bayuda ayi basi Ngelese.
5 And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was straitened with the word, witnessing to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
Sila ayi Timote bu baba ku Maseduani, buna Polo wukiyekula mu kisalu ki longa ayi telimina Yesu kimbangi kuidi Bayuda ti niandi Klisto.
6 And they opposing, and blaspheming, shaking his garments, he said to them, Your blood be upon your own head; I am pure: from now I will go to the Gentiles.
Vayi Bayuda bu bantinguna ayi bu bavueza Klisto, Polo wunikuna minledi miandi ayi wuba kamba: —Bika menga meno matombolo va mbata mintu mieno. Tona buabu ndieka kuenda longi Bapakanu.
7 And having departed thence, he came into the house of a certain Titus, Justus by name, worshiping God, whose house is joined to the synagogue.
Bu kabotuka vana, wukota ku nzo mutu wumosi, dizina diandi Titiusi Yusitusi, wuba sadilanga Nzambi. Nzoꞌandi yiba yifikama ayi nzo lukutukunu.
8 But Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
Vayi Kilisipusi, pfumu nzo lukutukunu ayi basi nzoꞌandi boso bawilukila Pfumu. Basi Kolinto bawombo, bu banwa buna bawilukila ayi babotama.
9 And the Lord spoke to Paul in the night through a vision, Fear not, but speak, and be not silent:
Lumbu kimosi va builu, Pfumu wukamba Polo mu tsongolo ti: —Bika mona boma! Longa kaka! Kadi ba dio sui!
10 because I am with thee, and no man shall assault thee to hurt thee: because there is much people to me in this city.
Bila minu ndidi yaku! Kadi mutu kalendi kubuila ko mukuvanga phasi bila ndidi mu divula diadi!
11 And he spent a year and six months teaching the word of God among them.
Polo mvu mvimba ayi zingondi zisambanu kakadila ku Kolinto, wuba longanga mambu ma Nzambi.
12 But Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of one accord arose up against Paul, and led him to the tribunal,
Vayi thangu Ngalioni kabiadila mu Akayi, Bayuda bu bawizana va kimosi bayendila Polo manenga, bankanga ayi bannata ku ntiliminadu.
13 saying, This one persuades men to worship God contrary to law.
Kuna bamfundila: —Mutu wawu weti wilukisa batu mu diambu basambila Nzambimu phila yikandika Mina.
14 And Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some injustice or wicked rascality, O Jews, I would bear with you according to reason:
Vayi Polo bu kedi katona yoluka, Ngalioni wukamba Bayuda ti: —A beno basi Yuda! Enati mutu wawu masumu kavodidi voti mambu mambimbi kavengi, nganu ndieka vibidila ku luwa.
15 but if there are questions about the words and name, and law appertaining to you, yourselves shall see to it; I do not wish to be judge of these things.
Vayi enati bidi biuvu bitedi mambu, mazina ayi Mina mieno, buna bika lutala mawu beno veka. Minu mbengi ba zuzi mu mambu momo.
16 And he drove them away from the tribunal.
Wuba kuka ku ntiliminadu.
17 And all taking Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the tribunal; and nothing of these things was a care to Gallio.
Batu boso bu babuila Sositeni, pfumu nzo lukutukunu, bamfuza khuba vana nganda ntiliminadu. Vayi Ngalioni kasi kota mambu beni ko.
18 And Paul, still remaining some days, having bidden adieu to the brethren, sailed away to Syria, and along with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea; for he had a vow.
Polo wubuela kala kuna bilumbu biwombo, buna wubika bakhomba, wukota mu masuwa mu kuenda ku Sili va kimosi ayi Akilasi ayi Pilisiye. Bu kavukusu dikungulu ku Sansela, bila tsila kavana.
19 And they arrived in Ephesus, and he left them there: and himself, having gone into the synagogue, spoke to the Jews.
Bu katula ku Efeso, Polo wubika Akilasi ayi Pilisiye ayi wukotaniandi veka mu nzo lukutukunu; wusolula ayi Bayuda.
20 And they asking him to remain a longer time, he did not consent;
Banleba kakala yawu bilumbu biwombo vayi wumanga kuandi.
21 but having bidden them adieu; and saying, I will return unto you again, God willing; he embarked from Ephesus;
Wubabika ayi wuba kamba: —Enati Nzambi tidi, ndiela kuiza kulubumina! Wukota mu masuwa, wubika Efeso.
22 and having come into Caesarea, having gone up, and saluted the church, he came down to Antioch;
Bu katula ku Sezale, wuyenda ku Yelusalemi mu vana badibundu mboti. Kuzimunina, wuyenda ku Antioshi.
23 having spent some time, he went from them, traveling consecutively through the Galatian country and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
Bu kakala kuna ndambu bilumbu, wuyenda ayi wuviokila mu zunga ki Ngalatiya ayi ki Filingi mu kindisa minlonguki mioso.
24 And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came into Ephesus, being mighty in the scriptures.
Nyuda wumosi, dizina diandi Apolo, wuyiza ku Efeso wuba muisi Alekisandiya wuba mutu wumosi wuludede ayi wuzaba bumboti masonoko.
25 And he was instructed in the way of the Lord, and zealous in spirit, was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John;
Niandi wukilongolo nzila yi Pfumu, wuba wu fuluka mu Pheve, wutuba, wulonga boso bufueni mambu mitedi Yesu. Niandi wuzaba kaka malongi ma mbotokolo yi botika Yowani.
26 and he began to preach boldly in the synagogue. But Priscilla and Aquila, having heard him, took him to themselves, and expounded unto him the way of the Lord more perfectly.
Niandi wulonga mu nzo yi lukutukunu mu kambu memata. Pilisiye ayi Akilasi bu banwa buna bannata ku nzoꞌawu; batona ku nsudikisa bumboti nzila yi Nzambi.
27 And he wishing to go into Achaia, the brethren having sent him forth wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, being present, conferred much on those having believed through grace.
Sumbu kaba mayindu makuenda ku Akayi, bakhomba zisonikina minlonguki ayi baba kindisa muingi banyakula bumboti. Buna katula kuna, wusadisa batu bobo bawilukila mu nlemvo wowo katambula.
28 For he vehemently argued down the Jews, publicly, showing through the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Bila wuba bedisanga Bayuda va nyalu nguba, wumonisa mu masonoko ti Yesu niandi Klisto.
