< Acts 18 >
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Sima na yango, Polo atikaki Ateni mpe akendeki na Kolinto.
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
Kuna, akutanaki na Moyuda moko, kombo na ye ezalaki « Akilasi. » Azalaki moto ya mboka Ponti. Akilasi awutaki koya kala te longwa na Itali, elongo na mwasi na ye, Prisile, pamba te mokonzi Klode apesaki mitindo ete Bayuda nyonso balongwa na Rome. Boye, Polo akendeki kotala bango;
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
mpe lokola Polo azalaki kosala mosala moko na bango, mosala ya kosala bandako ya kapo, avandaki epai na bango mpe akomaki kosala elongo na bango.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Mikolo nyonso ya Saba, Polo azalaki koteya kati na ndako ya mayangani mpe azalaki koluka kondimisa Bayuda mpe bato ya Grese.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Yeshua was the Meshikha.
Tango Silasi mpe Timote bayaki wana wuta na Masedwane, Polo akomaki kolekisa tango na ye nyonso kaka na koteya Liloba mpe kotalisa solo epai ya Bayuda ete Yesu azali Klisto.
6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people."
Kasi tango Bayuda bakomaki kotelemela Polo mpe kofinga ye, apupolaki bilamba na ye mpe alobaki: — Tika ete makila na bino etangama likolo ya mito na bino moko! Ngai nazali lisusu na ngambo te. Kobanda lelo, nakokende na ngai epai ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya.
7 He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Boye, Polo atikaki bango mpe akendeki na ndako ya Titisi Yusitusi, mogumbameli ya Nzambe, oyo ndako na ye ezalaki pembeni ya ndako ya mayangani.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
Krispisi, mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, elongo na libota na ye mobimba bazalaki na kondima epai ya Nkolo; mpe bato mingi ya Kolinto oyo bazalaki koyoka Polo bakomaki bandimi ya Nkolo mpe bazwaki libatisi.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
Mokolo moko, na butu, Nkolo alobaki na Polo kati na emoniseli: Kobanga te, koba kaka koloba, kokanga monoko te.
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
Nazali na yo elongo, mpe moto moko te akolonga kobundisa yo mpe kosala yo mabe, pamba te nazali na bato mingi kati na engumba oyo.
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Boye, Polo avandaki na Kolinto, mobu moko na ndambo, mpe azalaki koteya bango Liloba na Nzambe.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Wana Galioni azalaki moyangeli ya Akayi, Bayuda bayokanaki mpo na kokanga Polo, mpe bamemaki ye na esambiselo
13 saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
mpe bafundaki ye boye: — Moto oyo azali koluka kondimisa bato ete bagumbamela Nzambe na lolenge oyo mibeko epekisa.
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
Tango kaka Polo alingaki koloba, Galioni alobaki na Bayuda: — Bino Bayuda, soki moto oyo asalaki mabe to likambo moko ya sembo te, nalingaki solo koyokela bino.
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."
Kasi lokola ezali kaka likambo ya tembe na tina na makambo oyo etali maloba, bakombo mpe mibeko na bino, wana etali kaka bino moko; ngai naboyi kozala mosambisi ya makambo ya boye.
16 He drove them from the judgment seat.
Boye, abenganaki bango na esambiselo.
17 Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.
Mpe bango nyonso bakangaki Sositeni, mokambi ya ndako ya mayangani, mpe babetaki ye liboso ya esambiselo. Kasi Galioni atalaki yango se pamba.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Polo avandaki lisusu mwa mikolo na Kolinto. Bongo, atikaki bandeko, akotaki na masuwa mpe akendeki na Siri elongo na Prisile mpe Akilasi. Liboso na Polo kolongwa na libongo ya Sankresi, akokolisaki suki ya moto na ye, pamba te alapaki ndayi.
19 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Tango bakomaki na Efeso, Polo atikaki Akila mpe Prisile. Akendeki ye moko na ndako ya mayangani mpo na kosolola na Bayuda.
20 When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
Basengaki ete awumela mwa mikolo elongo na bango, kasi Polo aboyaki.
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
Atikaki bango na koloba: — Nakozongela bino lisusu, soki Nzambe alingi. Wuta na Efeso, azwaki masuwa mpe akendeki.
22 When he had landed at Qesarya, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
Tango akomaki na Sezarea, amataki na Yelusalemi mpo na kopesa Lingomba mbote; sima, akendeki na Antioshe.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Sima na Polo kovanda mwa mikolo na Antioshe, alongwaki kuna mpe alekaki na etuka ya Galatia mpe ya Friji, na kolendisa bayekoli nyonso.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Moyuda moko ayaki na Efeso, kombo na ye ezalaki « Apolosi. » Abotamaki na Alekizandri, ayebaki koloba malamu mpe ayebaki bozindo ya Makomi.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Yeshua, although he knew only the baptism of Yukhanan.
Bateyaki ye nzela ya Nkolo; mpe, lokola azalaki molende, azalaki koloba mpe kolakisa na bosolo makambo oyo etali Yesu atako ayebaki kaka libatisi ya Yoane.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Abandaki koloba na molende nyonso kati na ndako ya mayangani. Kasi tango Prisile mpe Akilasi bayokaki ye, babengisaki ye na ndako na bango mpe balimbolelaki ye malamu penza nzela ya Nzambe.
27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
Lokola Apolosi azalaki na likanisi ya kokende na Akayi, bandeko balendisaki ye mpe bakomelaki bayekoli ya Kolinto ete bayamba ye malamu. Tango akomaki kuna, na ngolu na Nzambe, azalaki lisungi monene mpo na bato oyo bakomaki bandimi,
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Yeshua was the Meshikha.
pamba te maloba na ye ezalaki kosukisa tembe ya Bayuda na miso ya bato nyonso, mpe azalaki kotalisa na polele, na nzela ya Makomi, ete Yesu azali Klisto.
