< Acts 18 >
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
So koching bv, Paul Etins nga kayu pikula okv korin bv vngtoku.
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,
Hoka nyi Akuila vnam, pontus lo bvngnam Jius nyi ako kaapato, ninyigv nyimv Prisilanyi lvkobv Itali lokv gvngv aachi sopikto, Klaudius Dvbv Jius mvnwng nga Rom lokv vngro tokukv vla orto jilin toku. Paul bunua kaabv vngto,
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
okv hoka doolwk toku okv bunua lvkobv ridungripa riming gvvto, ogulvgavbolo hv bunugv rinam apia bv vbv tombu mvla turla singnv go.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Ninyia Doonu aludwkiya Jius kumkunaam lo, Jius okv Grik vdwa mvngdin modubv vla dopam lo japbwngto.
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.
Vdwlo Silas okv Timoti Mesedonia gvngv vngchi pvkudw, Paul ninyigv dw mvnwng nga Jius vdwlo ho Jisu Kristo ngv vla doin japku lo rimwng toku.
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."
Vdwlo bunu ninyia maakv vpvdw okv ninyia tvvru kaayanv minto kudw, hv atubogv vji gv amokayok nga tia sidula okv bunua mintoku, “Nonugv atubogv singnwng manamv nonugv mvngmur vsu! hv ngo ajv kaariama. Vjak lokv ngo vngjikun Jentail vdwloku.”
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.
Vbvritola hv bunua vngyu toku okv vngla kula Jentail Titius Justus vnam dooku gv naam lo aatoku hv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumnv go; ninyigv naamv Jius kumkunaam koching lo dooto.
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.
Krispas, Jius kumkunaam gv rigvnvgo, Ahtunyi mvngjwng nvgo, ninyigv nyimv kuu mvnwng vka lvkobv; okv Korin gv kvvbi nyitwng mvnwng ngv doina tvvpa tokula, mvngjwng toku, okv baptisma laanya toku.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
Ayu yupgo lo Paul nyikrwgo kaatoku Ahtu ninyia ho mintoku, “Busu mabvka, vbvritola japbwng laka okv kayu mabvka,
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
ngo noogv lvkobv doodunv. Nam yvvka ogu mvkimvmar jinv kaamare, ogulvgavbolo ngoogv nyi vv soogv pamtv si awgo dopvnv.”
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Vbvrikunamv Paul hoka dootoku nyingola patung go, Pwknvyarnv gv gaam nga nyi vdwa tamsar la.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
Vdwlo Gallionyi Akaia lo Roman mooku gv gobunor gobv mvlin pvkudw, Jius mvnwng ngv lvkin gubv aakum la Paulnyi naatung toku okv ninyia kvba baaku naam bv aagv toku.
13 saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
Bunu minto, “So nyi si, tamsardu nyi vdwa Pwknvyarnvnyi kumlakv vla ngonugv pvbv nga rinyingriru bv ridu!”
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;
Paul mintv namgola Gallio Jius vdwa minto, “Vdwlo nonu so nyi sum alvmabv pvbv nga riborilikla vmalo rimurvngmur kunam gv gaam gubolo, ngo nonu Jius vdwgv minama tvvria namv vv alvnvgobv rire.
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."
Vbvritola nonugv ogugo raami sinam si gamchar okv amin gv lvkwng mvngchik gomwng mimisinam si nonugv atubogv pvbv gv lvkwng lo. Vkvlvkwngbv no atubongv risu laka soogv adwkaku sum noogv sigwng bv. Ngo sikv nvnga macharmayar nwngria ma!”
16 He drove them from the judgment seat.
Okv ninyia bunu mvnwng nga kvbanaam gv agum bv charlin toku.
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.
Bunu mvnwng ngv, Jius kumkunaam gv rigvnv Sostenesnyi svvbwng tokula okv ninyia kvbanaam alin lo dwngnya toku. Vbvritola dwngjvka Gallio ogugoka mvngma bv riminto.
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.
Paul Korint lo awgo mvngjwngnv vdwa lvkobv doopi kula, vbvrikunamv bunua doomu pikula okv svpwlo vngraptoku Prisila okv Akuila gv lvkobv Sairia bv vngtoku. Svpw lokv Senkrai bv vngma dvbv ninyigv dumpo dvmwa mwkak toku ogulvgavbolo hv milv toku.
19 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Vbvrikunamv bunu Epesus lo vngtoku, hoka Paul Prisila okv Akuilanyi kayupikula. Hv Jius vdwgv kumkunaam bv vngtoku okv Jius vdwa lvkobv tvulvpak minsuto.
20 When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
Nyitwng ngv ninyia awgo doodubvri vla tvuto, vbvritola ninyia maakv vla mintoku.
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
Hv vngrap jiku la, hv milvto, “Ngo aakur riku vbvritola si Pwknvyarnv mvnglwkbolo,” Vbvritola hv doruptoku Epesus lokv.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
Vbvrinamv hv kaisaria lo vngchinam gola, ninyi Jerusalem bv vngla Gvrja nga alvpvri vpi kula okv vbvrikunamv Antiok bv vngtoku.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Kochingso hoka meego ripikula, hv lintoku okv Galatia okv Prigia mooku bv vngpik lakula mvngjwngnv mvnwng nga adwngchwng motoku.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Jius nyi ako aminv Apollos Alekjandaria lo bvngnam go hv Epesus lo aalwkto. Hv alv rungbv milak nvgo okv chinv go okv Darwknv kitap a awbv chinv go.
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.
Hv Ahtu gv Lamtv nga alvbv tamsar jito, okv lvkobv hardv rungbv ninyia japjito okv Jisu gv jvjv nga minjwk la tamsar jito. Vbvka, ninyi Jon gv baptisma nga chimwngdu.
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.
Hv mvngkam alvbv Jius kumkunaam arwng lo japrap toku. Vdwlo Prisila okv Akuila ninyia tvvpa tvkudw, bunu ninyia naam lo lvkobv aagv tokula okv ninyia bunu Pwknvyarnv gv Lamtv nga alvjvbv mirwk toku.
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;
Vbvripikula Apollos Akaia lo vngdu kubv ritoku, vkvlvgabv Epesus gv mvngjwngnv vdwv ninyia kaadurto vla Akaia gv mvngjwngnv vdwa siti go bunua lvkto la ninyia alvbv aamu tvkv vto. Hv vngchinam gola, Pwknvyarnv gv anyuayanam lokv mvngjwng kunv vdwa hv alvbv ridur nyatoku.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
Apollos Jius vdwa Jisu Kristo kv vla Darwknv kitap lokv kaatam la nyi apam lo gwlwk alvbv larmi sula bunua larya yatoku.
