Acts 18
1 After these things, Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth;
Panyuma pa bintu ibi, Paulo walafuma ku Atene nekuya ku Kolinto.
2 and finding a certain Jews, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla, his wife, (because Claudius Cesar had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he went to them.
Uko nkwalacana Muyuda naumbi, lina lyakendi Akula, uyo walasemenwa ku Pontasi. Walikuba mwensu walafumina ku Italiya, walesa pamo ne Pulisila mukashendi, cebo ca mwami waku Loma Kilaudiyo, uyo walabika mulawo wakwambeti Bayuda bonse bafume ku Loma. Lino Paulo walaya kubabona.
3 And as he was of the same trade, he continued with them, and wrought; for by trade they were tent-makers.
Pakubona kwambeti aba bantu balikukute incito mbuli njalikukute Paulo, yakutunga matente, walekala ne kusebensela nabo pamo.
4 But he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath day, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Paulo walikwamba ne bantu ku ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda, pa busuba bwa Sabata bulibonse, kelekesha kusandula Bayuda ne Bagiliki kwambeti bashome Mulumbe Waina.
5 And as soon as Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul was impelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
Sailasi ne Timoti mpobalashika kufuma ku Makedoniya, Paulo walalibengowa kuncito ya kukambauka, ne kwinshila bukamboni ku Bayuda kwambeti Yesu e Mupulushi Walaiwa usa.
6 But when they set themselves in opposition, and reviled, he shook his garment, and said to them, Let your blood be upon your own head! I am pure. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
Nomba pacebo cakwambeti balamutoteka, ne kumusampula, Paulo walapansana nabo ne kupampamuna lusuko ku byakufwala byakendi, ne kubambileti, “Mulalishinishi mobene! Ame ndemuyawu. Kufuma lelo ndenga kukambaukila bantu bamishobo naimbi.”
7 And going out thence, he went into the house of one called Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.
Popelapo walabashiya ne kuya ku ng'anda ya muntu naumbi, lina lyakendi, Tito Yusito, uyu muntu wali kuyandishisha kukambilila Lesa, ng'anda yakendi yalikuba yabambana ne ng'anda ya kupaililamo.
8 Now, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed; and were immersed.
Mutangunishi wa ng'anda ya kupaililamo, Klisipo pamo ne ba mung'anda yakendi balashoma muli Mwami Yesu. Bantu bangi baku Kolinto balanyumfwa makani alikwamba Paulo, balashoma ne kubatishiwa.
9 But the Lord said to Paul, in a vision by night, Fear not, but speak, and do not keep silence;
Mwami Yesu walabonekela kuli Paulo mucimbonimboni busuba nabumbi cindi ca mashiku, ne kumwambileti, “Kotatina, pitilisha kukambauka, kayi kotacileka,
10 for I am with you, and no man shall fall on you, to injure you; for I have much people in this city.
pakwinga ame ndi pamo ne njobe. Paliya muntu eti akulwane ne kukulinga, pakwinga muno mu munshi muli bantu bakame bangi.”
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Paulo walekala kopeloko kabeyisha bantu maswi a Lesa kwacaka cimo ne myenshi isanu ne umo.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made an assault upon Paul, with one consent, and brought him before the tribunal,
Pacindi Galiyo ncalikuba Mwendeleshi wa cimpansha ca Akaya, Bayuda balamwikata Paulo, ne kumutwala ku nkuta.
13 saying, This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
Balambeti, “Muntuyu layungaulunga bantu kwambeti bakambililenga Lesa mu nshila yapusana ne Milawo yetu.”
14 And when Paul would have opened his mouth, Gallio said to the the Jews, If it were an act of injustice, or mischievous licentiousness, O Jews! it were reasonable I should bear with you.
Nomba Paulo katanambapo ciliconse, Galiyo walabambila Bayuda eti, “Ne mulambeti muntuyu lataluku mulawo, nambi kwambeti lepishili munendi, nshinga ne ndawombolosho mulandu wenu amwe Bayuda.
15 But if it be a question concerning words, and names, and the law which is among you, you see to it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.
Nomba ndacaneti ninkani ilambangowa shamaswi ne maina, kayi ne milawo yenu, mwelela kulibonena mobene. Ame ndamukanini pimbi!”
16 And he drove them away from the tribunal.
Mpwalamba maswi awa, walabatandanyapo pa nkuta.
17 And all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal; but Gallio did not concern himself at all about the matter.
Kufumapo, bantu bonse balekata Sositene, mutangunishi wa ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda, ne kumumina pantangu pa bomboloshi. Galiyo kabonako, nsombi paliya ncalensapo.
18 And Paul still continued there for a considerable time, and then taking leave of the brethren, sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shaved his head at Cenchrea, for he had a vow.
Paulo walalayana ne banse ba ku Kolinto, panyuma pa kwikalako masuba angi. Walatanta bwato pamo ne Akula ne Pulisila mukashendi, ne kuya ku Siliya. Paulo kacili ku Kenkeleya katanatanta bwato, walacesa mishishi kubonesheti lakwanilishi lumbilo lwakendi ndwalensa kuli Lesa.
19 And he arrived at Ephesus, and there he left them; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Mpobalashika ku Efenso, Akula ne Pulisila mukashendi balashala. Paulo kacili kopeloko walengila mu ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda ne kubandika nabo.
20 And though they entreated him to have staid longer with them, he did not consent:
Balamusenga kwambeti ekaleko nabo kwa masuba angiko, nsombi nendi walakana.
21 but he took his leave of them, saying, It is necessary for me, all means, to celebrate the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. And he set sail from Ephesus.
Walabalaya ne kubambileti, “Lesa akampa cindi ninkese.” Mpwalambeco walatanta bwato ne kufumako ku Efenso.
22 And landing at Cesarea, he went up; and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch.
Paulo mpwalashika ku Kaisaleya, walaya kayi neku Yelusalemu kuya kupa mitende mubungano. Kufuma uko walaya ku Antiyokeya.
23 and having saluted the congregation, he went down to Antioch. And having spent some time there, he departed, going through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in a regular manner confirming all the disciples.
Panyuma pakwikalako kacindi, walaya kupitana mubibela bingi bya bimpansha bya Galatiya ne Fuligiya, kaya kuyuminisha beshikwiya bonse.
24 Now, a certain Jew, whose name was Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and powerful in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Ku Efenso kwalesa Muyuda walasemenwa ku Alekisandiliya, lina lyakendi, Apolo. Walikuba muntu muya mukutonda, kayi walikwainshiba cena Mabala a Lesa.
25 This person was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught them things of the Lord with great accuracy, being only acquainted with the immersion of John.
Uyu muntu waleyishiwa nshila ya Mwami, kayi walikuba muntu wakangwabu, walikwamba ne kwiyisha mwabuya makani a Mwami Yesu. Nsombi walikwishibowa sha lubatisho lwa Yohane.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla hearing him, took him aside, and explained to him the way of God in a more perfect manner.
Walikwamba kwakubula buyowa mu ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda. Pulisila ne Akula mpobalamunyumfwa balamumanta ne kuya kumusansulwila cena mwabuya nshila ya Lesa.
27 And when he intended to go over to Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, exhorting them to receive him. And being arrived there, by his gift he greatly helped those who had believed.
Apolo mpwalikuyanda kuya ku Akaya, banse balamuyuminisha ne kulembela kalata ku banse ba ku Akaya kwambeti bamutambule cena. Mpwalashika walabanyamfwilisha bonse balikuba bashoma kupitila mu luse lwa Lesa.
28 For he strenuously debated with the Jews in public, showing by the scriptures, that Jesus is the Messiah.
Pakwinga Apolo walikubatoteka mwangofu ne kubakoma Bayuda pamenso abantu, kubashinina kupitila mu Mabala a Lesa, kwambeti Yesu endiye Mupulushi Walaiwa usa.
