Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Pawulo n’asitula okuva mu Asene n’alaga mu Kkolinso.
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,
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 because he practiced the same trade, he lived 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 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Buli lwa Ssabbiiti Pawulo yabeeranga mu kkuŋŋaaniro ng’amatiza Abayudaaya n’Abayonaani.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Yeshua 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 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."
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 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.
Awo Pawulo n’ava eyo n’alaga mu nnyumba ya Tito Yusito, eyasinzanga Katonda, ng’amaka ge galiraanye n’ekkuŋŋaaniro.
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 immersed.
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 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
Awo ekiro kimu Mukama n’ayogera ne Pawulo mu kwolesebwa, n’amugamba nti, “Totya! Weeyongere okubuulira, so tosirika!
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
Kubanga ndi wamu naawe, tewali ayinza kukulumba n’akukola kabi. Era mu kibuga muno mulimu abantu bange bangi.”
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Bw’atyo Pawulo n’abeerayo ebbanga lya mwaka mulamba n’ekitundu ng’ayigiriza ekigambo kya Katonda.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before 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 one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
Ne bamuwawaabira nti, “Omusajja ono asendasenda abantu okusinza Katonda mu ngeri etakkirizibwa mu mateeka.”
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;
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 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."
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 He drove them from the judgment seat.
Bw’atyo n’abagoba mu mbuga z’amateeka.
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.
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 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.
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 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Bwe baatuuka mu Efeso, banne n’abaleka awo n’agenda n’akubaganya ebirowoozo n’Abayudaaya mu kkuŋŋaaniro.
20 When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
Ne bamusaba abeere nabo ennaku eziwerako, naye n’atakkiriza.
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail 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 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the congregation, and went down to Antioch.
Pawulo bwe yagoba mu Kayisaliya, n’akyalira Ekkanisa n’oluvannyuma n’aserengeta mu Antiyokiya.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the talmidim.
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 race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
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 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 immersion 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 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.
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 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the talmidim to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had 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 powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Yeshua was 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.
