Acts 18
1 After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Baada ya makowe ago, Paulo ayei Athene kuyenda Korintho.
2 And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he came to them;
Kolyo atimpata Myahudi ywakemelwa Akwila mundu wa likabila lya Ponto, ywembe na nyumbo wake ywakemelwa Prisila baisile boka kolyo Italia, kwa sababu Klaudia atiamuru Ayahudi bote bayende Roma; Paulo aisa kwao;
3 and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and worked; for they were tent-makers by trade.
Paulo atami na kupanga kazi nabembe mana ywembe apanga kazi yatilingana na bembe. Bembe babile na achenga mahema.
4 And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath, and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
Paulo alongela nao mu'lisinagogi kila lisoba lya Sabato. Atibashawishi Ayahudi pamope na Bagiriki.
5 And when both Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was wholly engaged in the word, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus was the Christ.
Lakini Sila na Timotheo pabaisile boka Makedonia, Paulo atisukumwa na Roho kubashuhudia Ayahudi kuwa Yesu nga Kristo.
6 And when they set themselves against him, and reviled, he shook his garments, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean; from this time I will go to the gentiles.
Muda Ayahudi batimpinga na kumdhihaki, nga nyo Paulo atikung'uta ngobo yake nnongi yabe, na kubamakiya, “Myai yinu na ibe nnani ya ntwe yinu bene; Nenga nibile kwaa na hatia. Boka nambeambe na kuendelea, nabayendea Mataifa.”
7 And he departed thence, and went to the house of a certain man, named Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was very near the synagogue.
Nga nyo atiyenda kuboka pale kayenda mu'nyumba ya Tiro Yusto, Mundu ywamudu Nnongo. Nyumba yake ibile papipi na lisinagogi.
8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians upon hearing believed, and were baptized.
Krispo, kiongozo ba lisinagogi pamope na bandu ba nnyumba yake bamwaminiya Ngwana. Bandu banyansima ba Korintho bamyowine Paulo akilongela batiaminiya na kubatizwa.
9 And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent;
Ngana kalongela na Paulo kilo kwa ndela ya maono, “Kana uyogope, lakini ulongele na kana unyamae.
10 for I am with thee, and no one shall lay hands on thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.
Mana nenga nibile pamope na wenga, na ntopo ywalowa jaribu kukudhuru, mana nibile na bandu banyansima katika mji wolo.
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Paulo atama kwoo kwa muda wa mwaka na miei sita atifundisha neno lya Nnongo nkati yabe.
12 And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat,
Lakini Galio paapangilwe mtawala wa Akaya, Bayahudi bayemi pamope kunchogo na Paulo na kumpeleka nnongi ya iteo sa hukumu,
13 saying, This man persuadeth people to worship God contrary to the law.
babaya, “Mundu yolo ubashawishi bandu bamwabudu Nnongo kinchogo na saliya.”
14 And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were some act of injustice or wicked misdeed, O Jews, with reason I should bear with you;
Muda Paulo abile apala kubaya, Galio kaabakiya Ayahudi, “Mwenga mwa Ayahudi, mana ibile ni likosa au uhalifu, ibile halali kubashuhulikia.
15 but if it be questions of doctrine, and names, and your law, look to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of these matters.
Lakini kwa sababu ni maswali, yabile nnani ya maneno na maina, na saliya yinu, bai muhukumu mwenga mwabene. Nenga natamaniya kwaa pangika hakimu kwa habari ya makowe ayo.”
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Galio atibaamuru baboke nnongi ya iteo sa hukumu.
17 But they all laid hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat; and Gallio cared for none of these things.
Nga nyo bantabile Sosthene, kiongozi ba lisinagogi, bankombwile nnongi ya iteo sa hukumu. Lakini Galio ajali kwaa bakipangite.
18 And Paul, having stayed many days longer, took leave of the brethren, and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Paulo baada ya tama palo kwa muda mrefu, abalekite alongo na kuyenda kwa meli Siria pamope na Prisila na Akwila. Kabla ya boka bandarini, atinyoa nywili yake mana abile atilapa kuwa Mnadhiri.
19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Pabaikite Efeso, Paulo amlekite Prisila na Akwila palo, lakini ywembe mwene ajingii mu'lisinagogi na kulongela na Ayahudi.
20 And when they asked him to stay longer, he consented not;
Bammakiye Paulo atame nabembe kwa muda mrefu, ni ywembe akani.
21 but having taken leave of them, saying, I will return to you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.
Lakini atiboka kwao, kaabakiya, “Nalowaakerebukiya kae kwinu, mana itei ni mapenzi ya Nnongo.”Baada ya hapo, ayei kwa meli boka Efeso.
22 And having landed at Caesarea and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
Paulo paaikite Kaisaria, atipanda no yenda likanisa lya Yerusalemu, boka po atiuluka pae kwa likanisa lya Antiokia.
23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, going through the Galatian country and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Baada ya tama kwa muda kolyo, Paulo ayei pitya maeneo ga Galatia na Frigia na kubapeya mwoyo banapunzi bote.
24 And a certain Jew, named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Myahudi yumo ywakemelwa Apolo, aisileb Efeso. Abile na ufasaha katika kulongela na hodari katika maandiko.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught correctly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
Apolo abile ameelekezwa katika mafundisho ga Ngwana. Kwa namna abile na bidii katika roho, alongela na kubafundisha kwa usahihi makowe yanayomuhusu Yesu, ila atangite tu ubatizo wa Yohana.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But Aquila and Priscilla having heard him, took him to them, and set forth to him the way [[of the Lord]] more fully.
Apolo atumbwi longela kwa ujasiri katika hekalu. Lakini Prisila na Akwila pabamyowine, bapangite urafiki niywembe na kumweleza nnani ya ndela ya Nnongo kwa usahihi.
27 And when he wished to go over into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to give him welcome; and when he was come, he gave much aid to those who had believed through grace.
Paatamaniya kuboka kuyenda Akaya, alongo bampeya mwoyo na kubaandikiya barua banafunzi babile Akaya ili bapate kumpokya. Paaisile, kwa neema atibasaidia muno balo baaminiya.
28 For he publicly confuted the Jews, with power, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Kwa nguvu yake na maarifa. Apolo alibazidi Ayahudi hadharani atibonekeya pitya maandiko yakuwa Yesu nga Kristo.
