< Acts 18 >

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Pamande, u Paulo ahasogola hu Asene ahabhala hu Korintho.
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,
Ulwo bhamwaga umuntu umo itawa yu Akwila ikabila lyakwe lyali bha Ponto, ushi wakwe ali Prisila bhahinzila afume hu Italia, maana u Klaudia ajile Ayahudi bhonti bhasogole hu Roma; u Paulo ahabhalile hwabhamu ibha;
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
u Paulo wakhala amwabho abhomba imbombo zyazilingine ne zabho bhalinganyaga amahema.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
U Paulo ayanga nabho mwisinagogi shila lisiku elyetuyo abhasulihaga Ayahudi na Giriki.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
U Sila nu Timotheo pabhinza u Paulo abhuulwa nu Mpepo abhabhule Ayahudi huje uYesu yu Kilisti.
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."
Ayahudi nabhakhana na hutanile, u Paulo wakunyuta umenda gwakwe wabhabhuula, huje idanda lyenyu libhe pamatwe genyu, mwemwe ane sigaihailongwa, ahwande eshi ane embala hwa bhantu bha Mataifa”.
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.
Wasogola epo wabhala lwa Tito Yusto, Umuntu yaali puti hwa Ngulubhi. Enyumba yakwe yapalamineni sinagogi.
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.
U Krispo, ulongozi wisinagogi ahapenduha umwene na bhantu bhakwe bhakhala nabho, abhantu bhabhinji abhahu Korintho bhahitishiye izu lya Ngulubhi na hwoziwe.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
Ugosi wayanga nu Paulo humbonesyo nusiku waga usahogope awe yangaga wene usahapume.
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
Ane endipandwimo nawe, nuumo yabhahuvwalazye ane endi na bhantu bhinji humuji ogu”.
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
U Paulo wakhala umwaha gumo na mezi tanda, wamanyizya izu lya Ngulubhi hwa bhantu.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Lelo ugalio pabhihwa aje abhelongozi hu Akaya, Ayahudi bhahanda alete amalabha hwa Paulo batwala hwalonzi bhikoloti aje alongwe,
13 saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
bhaga, “Umuntu unu amanyizya abhantu shaseshihwanziwa hu sheria”.
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;
U Paulo nahanzaga aje ayanje, u Gailo owabhabhuula Ayahudi, “Huje ugali nanzi wenje ane handa embalonga.
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."
Eshi mundetela enongwa ezye matawa ne sheria zyenyu. Ezi enongwa longaji mwemwe ane sigaihwanza abhe lonzi wezii.”
16 He drove them from the judgment seat.
U Gailo wabhabhinga aje bhasogole hwitengo elye lonzi,
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.
Bhakhata, u Sosthene, ulongozi wi sinagogi bhakhoma. Lelo u Gailo sigaasaganya zyonti zyabhabhombile.
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.
U Paulo nawakhala ensiku zyenyinji pala wabhaleha abhamwabho umwene wasogola abhale hu Siria wa mwega u Prisila nu Akwila. Sabhasile asogole ahwinjile mumeli uPaulo wasyengula isisi maana afingine hwa Ngulubhi.
19 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Nabhafiha hu Efeso, wabhaleha aPrisila nu Akwila umwene winjila mwisinagogi ayanje na Yahudi.
20 When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
Nabhabhuula uPaulo akhale nabho ensiku zinyinji umwene akhiine.
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
Waga ihaiwela hulimwe nkaligane lya Ngulubhi”. wasogola ne meli afume hu Efeso.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
U Paulo nawiha hu Kaisaria, wazubha abhale alamushe Ikanisa lya hu Yelusalemu, nantele wiha abhale hwi kanisa lya hu Antiokia.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Nawakhala hashe uhwo wabhala hu Galatia na hu Frigia na bhazinzye umwoyo amanjili bhonti.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
U Yahudi umo itawa yu Apolo, ahinzile hu Efeso. Alimenye shinza izu lya Ngulubhi namanyizye.
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 Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
U Apolo amanyiziwe imanyizyo ezya hwa Yesu. Alikhalaganu amanyile amanyizyaga shinza izu lya Yesu, lelo aumanyile wuwozyo wa Yohana wene.
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.
U Apolo ayangaga shinza mushibhanza. U Prisila nu Akwila bhahuuda na nawo, bhabhuula izu lya Ngulubhi shabhaliminye abhene.
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;
Nawanza aje asogole bhasimbila ikalata iyaje bhamwejelele shinza hula hu Akaya pawafiha abhavwizye tee akristo abhuuhwo.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
U Apolo alini khone abhamenile Ayahudi pawinji, abalengaga mwibhangili huje uYesu yu Kilisti.
