Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
Baada ya makowe ago, Paulo ayei Athene kuyenda Korintho.
2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and came unto them.
Kolyo atimpata Myahudi ywakemelwa Akwila mundu wa likabila lya Ponto, ywembe na nyumbo wake ywakemelwa Prisila baisile boka kolyo Italia, kwa sababu Klaudia atiamuru Ayahudi bote bayende Roma; Paulo aisa kwao;
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
Paulo atami na kupanga kazi nabembe mana ywembe apanga kazi yatilingana na bembe. Bembe babile na achenga mahema.
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Paulo alongela nao mu'lisinagogi kila lisoba lya Sabato. Atibashawishi Ayahudi pamope na Bagiriki.
5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was] Christ.
Lakini Sila na Timotheo pabaisile boka Makedonia, Paulo atisukumwa na Roho kubashuhudia Ayahudi kuwa Yesu nga Kristo.
6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook [his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I [am] clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
Muda Ayahudi batimpinga na kumdhihaki, nga nyo Paulo atikung'uta ngobo yake nnongi yabe, na kubamakiya, “Myai yinu na ibe nnani ya ntwe yinu bene; Nenga nibile kwaa na hatia. Boka nambeambe na kuendelea, nabayendea Mataifa.”
7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man’s] house, named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
Nga nyo atiyenda kuboka pale kayenda mu'nyumba ya Tiro Yusto, Mundu ywamudu Nnongo. Nyumba yake ibile papipi na lisinagogi.
8 And 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.
Krispo, kiongozo ba lisinagogi pamope na bandu ba nnyumba yake bamwaminiya Ngwana. Bandu banyansima ba Korintho bamyowine Paulo akilongela batiaminiya na kubatizwa.
9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
Ngana kalongela na Paulo kilo kwa ndela ya maono, “Kana uyogope, lakini ulongele na kana unyamae.
10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
Mana nenga nibile pamope na wenga, na ntopo ywalowa jaribu kukudhuru, mana nibile na bandu banyansima katika mji wolo.
11 And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Paulo atama kwoo kwa muda wa mwaka na miei sita atifundisha neno lya Nnongo nkati yabe.
12 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
Lakini Galio paapangilwe mtawala wa Akaya, Bayahudi bayemi pamope kunchogo na Paulo na kumpeleka nnongi ya iteo sa hukumu,
13 Saying, This [fellow] persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
babaya, “Mundu yolo ubashawishi bandu bamwabudu Nnongo kinchogo na saliya.”
14 And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O [ye] Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
Muda Paulo abile apala kubaya, Galio kaabakiya Ayahudi, “Mwenga mwa Ayahudi, mana ibile ni likosa au uhalifu, ibile halali kubashuhulikia.
15 But if it be a question of words and names, and [of] your law, look ye [to it]; for I will be no judge of such [matters].
Lakini kwa sababu ni maswali, yabile nnani ya maneno na maina, na saliya yinu, bai muhukumu mwenga mwabene. Nenga natamaniya kwaa pangika hakimu kwa habari ya makowe ayo.”
16 And he drave them from the judgment seat.
Galio atibaamuru baboke nnongi ya iteo sa hukumu.
17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
Nga nyo bantabile Sosthene, kiongozi ba lisinagogi, bankombwile nnongi ya iteo sa hukumu. Lakini Galio ajali kwaa bakipangite.
18 And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
Paulo baada ya tama palo kwa muda mrefu, abalekite alongo na kuyenda kwa meli Siria pamope na Prisila na Akwila. Kabla ya boka bandarini, atinyoa nywili yake mana abile atilapa kuwa Mnadhiri.
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Pabaikite Efeso, Paulo amlekite Prisila na Akwila palo, lakini ywembe mwene ajingii mu'lisinagogi na kulongela na Ayahudi.
20 When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
Bammakiye Paulo atame nabembe kwa muda mrefu, ni ywembe akani.
21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
Lakini atiboka kwao, kaabakiya, “Nalowaakerebukiya kae kwinu, mana itei ni mapenzi ya Nnongo.”Baada ya hapo, ayei kwa meli boka Efeso.
22 And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
Paulo paaikite Kaisaria, atipanda no yenda likanisa lya Yerusalemu, boka po atiuluka pae kwa likanisa lya Antiokia.
23 And after he had spent some time [there], he departed, and went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Baada ya tama kwa muda kolyo, Paulo ayei pitya maeneo ga Galatia na Frigia na kubapeya mwoyo banapunzi bote.
24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Myahudi yumo ywakemelwa Apolo, aisileb Efeso. Abile na ufasaha katika kulongela na hodari katika maandiko.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
Apolo abile ameelekezwa katika mafundisho ga Ngwana. Kwa namna abile na bidii katika roho, alongela na kubafundisha kwa usahihi makowe yanayomuhusu Yesu, ila atangite tu ubatizo wa Yohana.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto [them], and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Apolo atumbwi longela kwa ujasiri katika hekalu. Lakini Prisila na Akwila pabamyowine, bapangite urafiki niywembe na kumweleza nnani ya ndela ya Nnongo kwa usahihi.
27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
Paatamaniya kuboka kuyenda Akaya, alongo bampeya mwoyo na kubaandikiya barua banafunzi babile Akaya ili bapate kumpokya. Paaisile, kwa neema atibasaidia muno balo baaminiya.
28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
Kwa nguvu yake na maarifa. Apolo alibazidi Ayahudi hadharani atibonekeya pitya maandiko yakuwa Yesu nga Kristo.
