Acts 18
1 AND after these transactions, Paul departing from Athens, came to Corinth;
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Pawulo n’asitula okuva mu Asene n’alaga mu Kkolinso.
2 and finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately arrived from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had issued an order that all Jews should depart from Rome, ) he turned in to them.
Eyo gye yasisinkana omusajja Omuyudaaya erinnya lye Akula, eyazaalibwa mu Ponto, nga yaakava mu ltaliya ne mukazi we Pulisikira, kubanga Kulawudiyo yali awadde ekiragiro okugoba Abayudaaya bonna mu Ruumi.
3 And as he was of the same occupation, he abode with them, and worked, (for by trade they were tent-makers: )
Olw’okuba nga baali bakola omulimu gwe gumu ogw’okukola weema, n’abeeranga nabo, era n’akolanga nabo.
4 and he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both the Jews and the Greek proselytes.
Buli lwa Ssabbiiti Pawulo yabeeranga mu kkuŋŋaaniro ng’amatiza Abayudaaya n’Abayonaani.
5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul felt a strong impulse on his spirit, and forcibly testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Messiah.
Era Siira ne Timoseewo bwe baatuuka nga bava mu Makedoniya, Pawulo n’awaayo ekiseera kye kyonna mu kubuulira Ekigambo n’okukakasa Abayudaaya nti Yesu ye Kristo.
6 But as they continued opposing and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am pure from it: from this moment will I go to the Gentiles.
Naye Abayudaaya bwe baatandika okumuwakanya, era n’okuvvoola erinnya lya Yesu, n’akunkumula ebyambalo bye, n’abagamba nti, “Omusaayi gwammwe gubeere ku mitwe gyammwe! Nze ndi mulongoofu. Okuva kaakano nnaagendanga eri Abaamawanga.”
7 And departing thence, he came to the house of a person, called Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue.
Awo Pawulo n’ava eyo n’alaga mu nnyumba ya Tito Yusito, eyasinzanga Katonda, ng’amaka ge galiraanye n’ekkuŋŋaaniro.
8 But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.
Kulisupo, eyali omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro, n’ennyumba ye yonna, ne bakkiriza Mukama waffe, n’abalala bangi ku Bakkolinso abaawulira ne bakkiriza era ne babatizibwa.
9 Then spake the Lord in a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak; and hold not thy peace:
Awo ekiro kimu Mukama n’ayogera ne Pawulo mu kwolesebwa, n’amugamba nti, “Totya! Weeyongere okubuulira, so tosirika!
10 for I am with thee, and no man shall set himself against thee to do thee harm; because I have much people in this city.
Kubanga ndi wamu naawe, tewali ayinza kukulumba n’akukola kabi. Era mu kibuga muno mulimu abantu bange bangi.”
11 And he sat down there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
Bw’atyo Pawulo n’abeerayo ebbanga lya mwaka mulamba n’ekitundu ng’ayigiriza ekigambo kya Katonda.
12 But when Gallio was the proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, rose up against Paul, and brought him to the judgment-seat,
Naye Galiyo bwe yalya obwagavana bwa Akaya, Abayudaaya ne beegatta wamu ne balumba Pawulo, ne bamukwata ne bamutwala mu mbuga z’amateeka ewa gavana okumusalira omusango.
13 saying, This is the fellow that earnestly persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
Ne bamuwawaabira nti, “Omusajja ono asendasenda abantu okusinza Katonda mu ngeri etakkirizibwa mu mateeka.”
14 Then Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews,
Naye Pawulo bwe yali ng’atandika okuwoza, Galiyo n’akyukira Abayudaaya abaawaaba n’abagamba nti, “Muwulire, mmwe Abayudaaya. Singa omusango guno gubadde gumenya mateeka, nandibadde nteekwa okubawuliriza.
15 If indeed this was now a matter of injustice, or wicked knavery, with reason I should hear you patiently; but if it be merely a controversy about the word, and names, and a law peculiar to yourselves, settle it yourselves: for I will be no judge of these matters.
Naye ensonga zammwe nga bwe zifa ku nkozesa y’ebigambo n’amannya, era nga zikwata ku mateeka gammwe, kirungi mmwe muzeemalire. Nze saagala kusala musango gw’ebyo.”
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Bw’atyo n’abagoba mu mbuga z’amateeka.
17 Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Gallio paid no regard to any of these things.
Awo bonna ne bakyukira Sossene, eyali omukulembeze omuggya ow’ekkuŋŋaaniro, ne bamukwata, ne bamukubira awo mu maaso g’embuga z’amateeka. Kyokka Galiyo teyabafaako.
18 Then Paul abode there yet many days, and taking leave of the disciples, he set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having cut off his hair at Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Pawulo n’amala mu kibuga omwo ennaku eziwerako, oluvannyuma n’asiibula abooluganda n’asaabala ku nnyanja n’agenda e Siriya, ng’atutte Pulisikira ne Akula. Naye yali tannasaabala, enviiri ze ne bazisalirako e Kenkereya olw’obweyamo bwe yali akoze.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself went into the synagogue, and discoursed with the Jews.
Bwe baatuuka mu Efeso, banne n’abaleka awo n’agenda n’akubaganya ebirowoozo n’Abayudaaya mu kkuŋŋaaniro.
20 But when they were importunate with him to prolong his stay among them, he consented not;
Ne bamusaba abeere nabo ennaku eziwerako, naye n’atakkiriza.
21 but took his leave of them, saying, I must by any means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem: but I mean to return to you again, if God so please. So he sailed from Ephesus.
N’abagamba nti, “Nsaana okugenda ndyoke nsobole okubaawo ku mbaga ejja mu Yerusaalemi.” Kyokka n’abasuubiza nti agenda kukomawo mu Efeso nga Katonda amukkirizza. Bw’atyo n’asaabala ku nnyanja okuva mu Efeso.
22 And landing at Cesarea, he went up, and having saluted the church at Jerusalem, he went down to Antioch.
Pawulo bwe yagoba mu Kayisaliya, n’akyalira Ekkanisa n’oluvannyuma n’aserengeta mu Antiyokiya.
23 And after making some stay, he departed, passing in regular order through the Galatian district, and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
Eyo n’amalayo ekiseera, n’asitula n’atambula n’ayitaayita mu bibuga ebiri mu bitundu bya Ggalatiya ne Fulugiya, ng’akyalira abayigirizwa bonna ng’abanyweza mu kukkiriza.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, who was powerful in the Scriptures, had come to Ephesus.
Waaliwo Omuyudaaya erinnya lye Apolo, nga yazaalibwa mu Alegezanderiya eky’omu Misiri, n’atuuka mu Efeso. Yali musajja muyigirize nnyo, era ng’amanyi nnyo Ebyawandiikibwa.
25 He was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught very diligently the things concerning the Lord, though knowing only the baptism of John.
Yali ayigirizibbwa Ekkubo lya Mukama, nga w’amaanyi mu mwoyo, era yayogeranga n’ayigiriza bulungi byonna ebifa ku Yesu, wabula ng’amanyi kubatizibwa kwa Yokaana kwokka.
26 So this man began to speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him home with them, and more accurately expounded to him the way of the Lord.
N’atandika okubuulira n’obuvumu mu kkuŋŋaaniro. Awo Pulisikira ne Akula bwe baamuwulira, ne bamuyita mu maka gaabwe ne bamunnyonnyola bingi eby’Ekkubo lya Katonda.
27 And when he wished to pass over to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; who arriving, contributed much to confirm those who believed through grace.
Awo Apolo n’ayagala okuwunguka agende mu Akaya mu Buyonaani, n’abooluganda ne bamuwagira nnyo mu kirowoozo ekyo. Ne bawandiikira bannaabwe abakkiriza mu Buyonaani bamwanirize n’essanyu. Era bwe yatuuka mu Buyonaani, Katonda n’amukozesa nnyo mu kunyweza Ekkanisa,
28 For he strenuously argued with the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.
kubanga yasambajja n’amaanyi mangi ensonga Abayudaaya ze baaleetanga nga bawakanya Enjiri mu bantu, n’asinziiranga mu Byawandiikibwa okulaga nti ddala Yesu ye Kristo.
