Acts 18
1 After these things, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Pa aga, Paulu kawukiti Aseni, kagenda Korintu.
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;
Aku Korintu, kamwoniti Myawudi yumu wamshema Akula, muntu gwa Pontu. Akula pamuhera na Mdala gwakuwi yawamshema Prisila, wawuyiti kulawa Italiya mashaka galaa aga toziya Kayisari Klawudi kaweriti kalagaliriti Wayawudi woseri wawuki Rumi. Paulu kagenditi kuwalola,
3 and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and worked; for they were tent-makers by trade.
na toziya womberi waweriti wanyawa wa kusona mahema handa yomberi, Paulu katamiti na womberi katenda lihengu.
4 And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath, and endeavored to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
Kila lishaka lya kwoyera katenditi magambiziyanu mnumba ya Mlungu pakajeriti kukwega Wayawudi na Wagiriki.
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.
Pa Sila na Timotewu kusoka kulawa Makedoniya, Paulu kanjiti kutumiya shipindi shakuwi shoseri kwajili ya kubwera, kawalanguziya Wayawudi handa Yesu ndo Kristu.
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.
Pawamkomiti Paulu na kwanja kumwigilanga, yomberi kapunda nguwu zakuwi kulongolu kwawu pakalonga, “Pamwagamira ulamaweni, neni nahera likosa lyoseri kulawirana na shitwatira ashi. Na kwanjira vinu hanuwagenderi wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi.”
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.
Su, kalawa panu kagenda kutama ukaya kwa muntu yumu mguwira Mlungu yawamshema Titu Yustu, mweni kaya yakuwi iweriti pakwegera na numba ya Mlungu ilii.
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.
Krispu, mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu ilii, kamjimiriti Mtuwa yomberi pamuhera na walongu wakuwi woseri. Wakorintu wavuwa waupikiniriti ujumbi awu, wajimira na kubatiziwa.
9 And the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, Be not afraid, but speak on, and be not silent;
Lishaka limu pashiru, Mtuwa kamgambiriti Paulu mmaonu, “Nagutira, gwendereyi kubwera pota kuwuya kumbeli,
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 neni napanu pamwera nagwenga. Kwa hera mundu yakajera kukutenda toziya panu palushi pana wantu wavua wauwega waneni.”
11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Su, Paulu katamiti aku pakafunda shisoweru sha Mlungu pakati pawu kwa shipindi sha shinja shimu na nusu.
12 And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul, and brought him before the judgment-seat,
Kumbiti shipindi Galiu pakaweriti mkulu gwa mkowa gwa Akaya, Wayawudi wambatiti Paulu kwa pamwera na kumjega kumahakama.
13 saying, This man persuadeth people to worship God contrary to the law.
Watakula, “Tumsitaki muntu ayu toziya ya kuwasongiziya wantu wamjimiri Mlungu kwa ntambu yawasingana na malagaliru.”
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;
Pamberi hera Paulu keniyanji kutakula, Galiu kawagambiriti Wayawudi, “Mpikinireni mwenga Wayawudi! Handa nakaka shitwatira ashi meshiweri likosa ama ukondola neni menweri kala kuwapikinira.
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.
Kumbiti handa lishawuli lya ukakatala kuusu visoweru na matawu na malagaliru genu, mwamuwi maweni. Neni nfira ndiri kuwera mtoza gwa vitwatira avi!”
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Su, kawawinga kulawa kumahakama.
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.
Na womberi woseri wambata Sosteni mweni kaweriti mlongoziya gwa numba ya Mlungu, womberi wamkoma palaa palii palongoru pa shizyungu. Kumbiti Galiu kalishera ndiri shitwatira ashi ata padidini.
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.
Paulu kendereyiti kulikala aku Korintu kwa mashaka gatangala. Shakapanu kawagambiriti kwahere, kakwena mtumbwi kagenda Siriya pakawera na Prisila na Akula. Aku Kenkireya, kamogiti viri zakuwi toziya ya kulapa kwakalilapiti.
19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
Wagenditi Efesu na panu Paulu kawalekiti Prisikila na Akula, pakagenda mnumba ya Mlungu, kankulitakuziyana na Wayawudi.
20 And when they asked him to stay longer, he consented not;
Wamluwiti katami nawomberi shipindi shitali nentu, kumbiti kafiriti ndiri.
21 but having taken leave of them, saying, I will return to you, if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.
Su pakaweriti kankuwuka, katakuliti, “Mlungu pakafira hanizi kwamwenga kayi.” Kawuka Efesu kwa meli.
22 And having landed at Caesarea and gone up and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
Yomberi pakasokiti mlushi lwa Kaisariya, yomberi kagenditi Yerusalemu kushilamusiya shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, shakapanu kagenditi Antiokiya.
23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, going through the Galatian country and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Katama aku katepu hera, shakapanu kendereyiti na mwanja kwa kupitira seemu za Firigiya na Galatiya kankuwatula moyu wafundwa woseri.
24 And a certain Jew, named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus.
Myawudi yumu yawamshema Apolu, mwiwuka gwa Alekizandiriya, kiziti Efesu. Kaweriti muntu kana luhala lwa kuyowera na yakawera na marifa makulu ga Malembu Mananagala.
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.
Kaweriti kafundwa kuusu njira ayi ya Mtuwa na pakawera motumotu, kabweriti na kufunda kwa unakaka showeru sha Yesu tembera kaweriti kapata ubatizu wa Yohani hera.
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.
Prisila na Akula pawampikaniriti kankuyowera kwa ugangamala mnumba ya Mlungu, wamtoliti kwawu wamfunda njira ayi ya Mlungu kwa unakaka nentu.
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.
Apolu pakaamuiti kugenda Akaya, walongu walii wampananiti moyu kwa kuwalembera wafundwa kulii Akaya wamyangi. Pakiziti aku, kaweziti kwa utanga wa manemu ga Mlungu, kuwatangitira nentu walongu walii wawapatiti kuwera wajimira,
28 For he publicly confuted the Jews, with power, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Toziya kendereyiti kuwakanka Wayawudi paweru pakawalanguziya kwa visoweru vya Malembu Mananagala kuwera Yesu ndo Kristu.
