Acts 18
1 After these things, withdrawing from Athens, he came unto Corinth;
Panyuma pa bintu ibi, Paulo walafuma ku Atene nekuya ku Kolinto.
2 and, finding a certain Jew, by name Aquila, of Pontus by birth, —lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to be leaving Rome, he came unto them,
Uko nkwalacana Muyuda naumbi, lina lyakendi Akula, uyo walasemenwa ku Pontasi. Walikuba mwensu walafumina ku Italiya, walesa pamo ne Pulisila mukashendi, cebo ca mwami waku Loma Kilaudiyo, uyo walabika mulawo wakwambeti Bayuda bonse bafume ku Loma. Lino Paulo walaya kubabona.
3 and, because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought, for they were tent-makers by their trade.
Pakubona kwambeti aba bantu balikukute incito mbuli njalikukute Paulo, yakutunga matente, walekala ne kusebensela nabo pamo.
4 And he began reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Paulo walikwamba ne bantu ku ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda, pa busuba bwa Sabata bulibonse, kelekesha kusandula Bayuda ne Bagiliki kwambeti bashome Mulumbe Waina.
5 When, however, both Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul began to be urged on in the word, bearing full witness unto the Jews that, Jesus, was, the Christ.
Sailasi ne Timoti mpobalashika kufuma ku Makedoniya, Paulo walalibengowa kuncito ya kukambauka, ne kwinshila bukamboni ku Bayuda kwambeti Yesu e Mupulushi Walaiwa usa.
6 But, as they began opposing and defaming, shaking out his garments, he said unto them—Your blood, be upon your own head! Pure, am, I: henceforth, unto the nations, will I go.
Nomba pacebo cakwambeti balamutoteka, ne kumusampula, Paulo walapansana nabo ne kupampamuna lusuko ku byakufwala byakendi, ne kubambileti, “Mulalishinishi mobene! Ame ndemuyawu. Kufuma lelo ndenga kukambaukila bantu bamishobo naimbi.”
7 And, removing from thence, he came into the house of a certain man by name Titius Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was adjoining unto the synagogue.
Popelapo walabashiya ne kuya ku ng'anda ya muntu naumbi, lina lyakendi, Tito Yusito, uyu muntu wali kuyandishisha kukambilila Lesa, ng'anda yakendi yalikuba yabambana ne ng'anda ya kupaililamo.
8 But, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And, many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing, and being immersed.
Mutangunishi wa ng'anda ya kupaililamo, Klisipo pamo ne ba mung'anda yakendi balashoma muli Mwami Yesu. Bantu bangi baku Kolinto balanyumfwa makani alikwamba Paulo, balashoma ne kubatishiwa.
9 And the Lord said by night, through means of a vision, unto Paul—Be not afraid! but be speaking, —and do not hold thy peace;
Mwami Yesu walabonekela kuli Paulo mucimbonimboni busuba nabumbi cindi ca mashiku, ne kumwambileti, “Kotatina, pitilisha kukambauka, kayi kotacileka,
10 Inasmuch as, I, am with thee, and, no one, shall set upon thee to harm thee; inasmuch as I have much people in this city.
pakwinga ame ndi pamo ne njobe. Paliya muntu eti akulwane ne kukulinga, pakwinga muno mu munshi muli bantu bakame bangi.”
11 And he remained a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
Paulo walekala kopeloko kabeyisha bantu maswi a Lesa kwacaka cimo ne myenshi isanu ne umo.
12 But, when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, set upon Paul, and led him unto the judgment-seat,
Pacindi Galiyo ncalikuba Mwendeleshi wa cimpansha ca Akaya, Bayuda balamwikata Paulo, ne kumutwala ku nkuta.
13 saying—Contrary to the law, is this one seducing men to be worshipping God.
Balambeti, “Muntuyu layungaulunga bantu kwambeti bakambililenga Lesa mu nshila yapusana ne Milawo yetu.”
14 But, as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews—If, indeed, it had been some wrong or wicked recklessness, O Jews, with reason, in that case, should I have been bearing with you.
Nomba Paulo katanambapo ciliconse, Galiyo walabambila Bayuda eti, “Ne mulambeti muntuyu lataluku mulawo, nambi kwambeti lepishili munendi, nshinga ne ndawombolosho mulandu wenu amwe Bayuda.
15 If, however, they are questions concerning discourse, and names, and law, that which ye have, ye shall see to it, yourselves; A judge of these things, I, am not disposed to be.
Nomba ndacaneti ninkani ilambangowa shamaswi ne maina, kayi ne milawo yenu, mwelela kulibonena mobene. Ame ndamukanini pimbi!”
16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
Mpwalamba maswi awa, walabatandanyapo pa nkuta.
17 But they all, laying hold of Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, began to strike him before the judgment-seat; and, for none of these things, did Gallio care.
Kufumapo, bantu bonse balekata Sositene, mutangunishi wa ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda, ne kumumina pantangu pa bomboloshi. Galiyo kabonako, nsombi paliya ncalensapo.
18 Paul, however, still further abiding a good many days with the brethren, bidding them adieu, set sail for Syria; and, with him, Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
Paulo walalayana ne banse ba ku Kolinto, panyuma pa kwikalako masuba angi. Walatanta bwato pamo ne Akula ne Pulisila mukashendi, ne kuya ku Siliya. Paulo kacili ku Kenkeleya katanatanta bwato, walacesa mishishi kubonesheti lakwanilishi lumbilo lwakendi ndwalensa kuli Lesa.
19 And they came down to Ephesus; and, as for them, he left them there, —but, himself entering into the synagogue, he reasoned with the Jews.
Mpobalashika ku Efenso, Akula ne Pulisila mukashendi balashala. Paulo kacili kopeloko walengila mu ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda ne kubandika nabo.
20 And, when they requested him for a longer time to abide, he consented not;
Balamusenga kwambeti ekaleko nabo kwa masuba angiko, nsombi nendi walakana.
21 but, bidding them adieu, and saying—Again, will I return unto you, God willing, he sailed away from Ephesus;
Walabalaya ne kubambileti, “Lesa akampa cindi ninkese.” Mpwalambeco walatanta bwato ne kufumako ku Efenso.
22 and, putting in at Caesarea, going up and saluting the assembly, went down unto Antioch;
Paulo mpwalashika ku Kaisaleya, walaya kayi neku Yelusalemu kuya kupa mitende mubungano. Kufuma uko walaya ku Antiyokeya.
23 and, spending some time, he went forth, passing through, in order, the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
Panyuma pakwikalako kacindi, walaya kupitana mubibela bingi bya bimpansha bya Galatiya ne Fuligiya, kaya kuyuminisha beshikwiya bonse.
24 But, a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus, being, mighty, in the Scriptures.
Ku Efenso kwalesa Muyuda walasemenwa ku Alekisandiliya, lina lyakendi, Apolo. Walikuba muntu muya mukutonda, kayi walikwainshiba cena Mabala a Lesa.
25 The same, had been orally taught the way of the Lord, and, being fervent in his spirit, began speaking and teaching accurately, the things concerning Jesus, —properly knowing, only the immersion of John.
Uyu muntu waleyishiwa nshila ya Mwami, kayi walikuba muntu wakangwabu, walikwamba ne kwiyisha mwabuya makani a Mwami Yesu. Nsombi walikwishibowa sha lubatisho lwa Yohane.
26 The same, also began speaking boldly in the synagogue; and Priscilla and Aquila, hearing him, took him unto them, and, more accurately, expounded unto him the way of God.
Walikwamba kwakubula buyowa mu ng'anda yakupaililamo ya Bayuda. Pulisila ne Akula mpobalamunyumfwa balamumanta ne kuya kumusansulwila cena mwabuya nshila ya Lesa.
27 And, he being minded to pass through into Achaia, the brethren urgently wrote unto the disciples to welcome him, —who, arriving, was very useful unto them who had believed, with his gift;
Apolo mpwalikuyanda kuya ku Akaya, banse balamuyuminisha ne kulembela kalata ku banse ba ku Akaya kwambeti bamutambule cena. Mpwalashika walabanyamfwilisha bonse balikuba bashoma kupitila mu luse lwa Lesa.
28 for, with great force, began he confuting the Jews, publicly, shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was, the Christ.
Pakwinga Apolo walikubatoteka mwangofu ne kubakoma Bayuda pamenso abantu, kubashinina kupitila mu Mabala a Lesa, kwambeti Yesu endiye Mupulushi Walaiwa usa.
