Acts 18
1 And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,
Pa aga, Paulu kawukiti Aseni, kagenda Korintu.
2 and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and his wife Priscilla—because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome—he came to them,
Aku Korintu, kamwoniti Myawudi yumu wamshema Akula, muntu gwa Pontu. Akula pamuhera na Mdala gwakuwi yawamshema Prisila, wawuyiti kulawa Italiya mashaka galaa aga toziya Kayisari Klawudi kaweriti kalagaliriti Wayawudi woseri wawuki Rumi. Paulu kagenditi kuwalola,
3 and because of being of the same craft, he remained with them, and was working, for they were tentmakers as to craft;
na toziya womberi waweriti wanyawa wa kusona mahema handa yomberi, Paulu katamiti na womberi katenda lihengu.
4 and he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Kila lishaka lya kwoyera katenditi magambiziyanu mnumba ya Mlungu pakajeriti kukwega Wayawudi na Wagiriki.
5 And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;
Pa Sila na Timotewu kusoka kulawa Makedoniya, Paulu kanjiti kutumiya shipindi shakuwi shoseri kwajili ya kubwera, kawalanguziya Wayawudi handa Yesu ndo Kristu.
6 and on their resisting and slandering, having shaken [his] garments, he said to them, “Your blood [is] on your head—I am clean; from now on I will go on to the nations.”
Pawamkomiti Paulu na kwanja kumwigilanga, yomberi kapunda nguwu zakuwi kulongolu kwawu pakalonga, “Pamwagamira ulamaweni, neni nahera likosa lyoseri kulawirana na shitwatira ashi. Na kwanjira vinu hanuwagenderi wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi.”
7 And having departed from there, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,
Su, kalawa panu kagenda kutama ukaya kwa muntu yumu mguwira Mlungu yawamshema Titu Yustu, mweni kaya yakuwi iweriti pakwegera na numba ya Mlungu ilii.
8 and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue believed in the LORD with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being immersed.
Krispu, mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu ilii, kamjimiriti Mtuwa yomberi pamuhera na walongu wakuwi woseri. Wakorintu wavuwa waupikiniriti ujumbi awu, wajimira na kubatiziwa.
9 And the LORD said through a vision in the night to Paul, “Do not be afraid, but be speaking and you may not be silent;
Lishaka limu pashiru, Mtuwa kamgambiriti Paulu mmaonu, “Nagutira, gwendereyi kubwera pota kuwuya kumbeli,
10 because I am with you, and no one will set on you to do evil [to] you, because I have many people in this city”;
Mana neni napanu pamwera nagwenga. Kwa hera mundu yakajera kukutenda toziya panu palushi pana wantu wavua wauwega waneni.”
11 and he continued a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Su, Paulu katamiti aku pakafunda shisoweru sha Mlungu pakati pawu kwa shipindi sha shinja shimu na nusu.
12 And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord on Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
Kumbiti shipindi Galiu pakaweriti mkulu gwa mkowa gwa Akaya, Wayawudi wambatiti Paulu kwa pamwera na kumjega kumahakama.
13 saying, “This one persuades men to worship God against the Law”;
Watakula, “Tumsitaki muntu ayu toziya ya kuwasongiziya wantu wamjimiri Mlungu kwa ntambu yawasingana na malagaliru.”
14 and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked recklessness, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,
Pamberi hera Paulu keniyanji kutakula, Galiu kawagambiriti Wayawudi, “Mpikinireni mwenga Wayawudi! Handa nakaka shitwatira ashi meshiweri likosa ama ukondola neni menweri kala kuwapikinira.
15 but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look [to it] yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things,”
Kumbiti handa lishawuli lya ukakatala kuusu visoweru na matawu na malagaliru genu, mwamuwi maweni. Neni nfira ndiri kuwera mtoza gwa vitwatira avi!”
16 and he drives them from the judgment seat;
Su, kawawinga kulawa kumahakama.
17 and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the judgment seat, and Gallio was not even caring for these things.
Na womberi woseri wambata Sosteni mweni kaweriti mlongoziya gwa numba ya Mlungu, womberi wamkoma palaa palii palongoru pa shizyungu. Kumbiti Galiu kalishera ndiri shitwatira ashi ata padidini.
18 And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brothers, was sailing to Syria—and with him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas—having shorn [his] head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;
Paulu kendereyiti kulikala aku Korintu kwa mashaka gatangala. Shakapanu kawagambiriti kwahere, kakwena mtumbwi kagenda Siriya pakawera na Prisila na Akula. Aku Kenkireya, kamogiti viri zakuwi toziya ya kulapa kwakalilapiti.
19 and he came down to Ephesus, and left them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue reasoned with the Jews:
Wagenditi Efesu na panu Paulu kawalekiti Prisikila na Akula, pakagenda mnumba ya Mlungu, kankulitakuziyana na Wayawudi.
20 and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,
Wamluwiti katami nawomberi shipindi shitali nentu, kumbiti kafiriti ndiri.
21 but took leave of them, saying, “It is necessary for me by all means to keep the coming celebration at Jerusalem, and again I will return to you—God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus,
Su pakaweriti kankuwuka, katakuliti, “Mlungu pakafira hanizi kwamwenga kayi.” Kawuka Efesu kwa meli.
22 and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having greeted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
Yomberi pakasokiti mlushi lwa Kaisariya, yomberi kagenditi Yerusalemu kushilamusiya shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, shakapanu kagenditi Antiokiya.
23 And having stayed some time, he went forth, going successively through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Katama aku katepu hera, shakapanu kendereyiti na mwanja kwa kupitira seemu za Firigiya na Galatiya kankuwatula moyu wafundwa woseri.
24 And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus;
Myawudi yumu yawamshema Apolu, mwiwuka gwa Alekizandiriya, kiziti Efesu. Kaweriti muntu kana luhala lwa kuyowera na yakawera na marifa makulu ga Malembu Mananagala.
25 this one was instructed in the way of the LORD, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the LORD, knowing only the immersion of John;
Kaweriti kafundwa kuusu njira ayi ya Mtuwa na pakawera motumotu, kabweriti na kufunda kwa unakaka showeru sha Yesu tembera kaweriti kapata ubatizu wa Yohani hera.
26 this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them], and more exactly set forth to him The Way of God,
Prisila na Akula pawampikaniriti kankuyowera kwa ugangamala mnumba ya Mlungu, wamtoliti kwawu wamfunda njira ayi ya Mlungu kwa unakaka nentu.
27 and he resolving to go through into Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, helped them much who have believed through grace,
Apolu pakaamuiti kugenda Akaya, walongu walii wampananiti moyu kwa kuwalembera wafundwa kulii Akaya wamyangi. Pakiziti aku, kaweziti kwa utanga wa manemu ga Mlungu, kuwatangitira nentu walongu walii wawapatiti kuwera wajimira,
28 for he was powerfully refuting the Jews publicly, showing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
Toziya kendereyiti kuwakanka Wayawudi paweru pakawalanguziya kwa visoweru vya Malembu Mananagala kuwera Yesu ndo Kristu.
