Acts 18
1 And when Paul departed from Athens, he went to Corinth.
Thuutha ũcio, Paũlũ akiuma Athene agĩthiĩ Korinitho.
2 And he found there a man, a Jew, whose name was Aquila, who was from the region of Pontus, and had just then arrived from the country of Italy, he and Priscilla his wife, because Claudius Caesar had commanded that all Jews should depart from Rome. And he went to them
Aakinya kũu agĩkora Mũyahudi wetagwo Akula, mũndũ waciarĩirwo Ponto, na aakoretwo oka kuuma Italia marĩ na mũtumia wake Pirisila, tondũ Kilaudio nĩathanĩte Ayahudi othe moime Roma. Nake Paũlũ agĩthiĩ kũmona,
3 and, because he was of a their trade, he took lodgings with them, and worked with them; for by their trade they were tent-makers.
na tondũ Paũlũ aarĩ mũtumi wa hema o tao-rĩ, agĩikarania na akĩrutithania wĩra nao.
4 And he spoke in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and Gentiles.
O mũthenya wa Thabatũ nĩaheanaga ũhoro thunagogi-inĩ, akĩgeria kũiguithia Ayahudi na Ayunani.
5 And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was impeded in discourse, because the Jews stood up against him, and reviled, as he testified to them that Jesus is the Messiah.
Rĩrĩa Sila na Timotheo mookire kuuma Makedonia, Paũlũ akĩĩrutĩra gũkorwo akĩhunjia mahinda mothe, na akoimbũragĩra Ayahudi atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
6 And he shook his garments, and said to them: Henceforth I am clean; I betake myself to the Gentiles.
No rĩrĩa Ayahudi maakararirie Paũlũ na makĩmũruma, akĩribariba nguo ciake nĩ ũndũ wa kũngʼũrĩka na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thakame yanyu ĩromũcookerera! Niĩ ndirĩ ũndũ ingĩũrio nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Kuuma rĩu ngũcooka gũthiĩ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.”
7 And he went away, and entered into the house of a certain man named Titus, one who feared God, and whose house adjoined the synagogue.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Paũlũ akiuma kũu thunagogi-inĩ, agĩthiĩ kwa mũndũ wetagwo Titio Jusito, warĩ mũhooi Ngai, nayo nyũmba yake yariganĩtie na thunagogi.
8 And Crispus, the president of the synagogue, believed on our Lord, he and all the members of his house. And many Corinthians gave ear, and believed in God and were baptized.
Nake Kirisipo, ũrĩa warĩ mũtongoria wa thunagogi, agĩĩtĩkia Mwathani hamwe na nyũmba yake yothe; na andũ aingĩ a Korinitho arĩa maamũiguire akĩaria magĩĩtĩkia na makĩbatithio.
9 And the Lord said to Paul in a vision: Fear not, but speak and be not silent:
Ũtukũ ũmwe Mwathani akĩĩra Paũlũ na kĩoneki atĩrĩ, “Ndũkae gwĩtigĩra; thiĩ na mbere na kũheana ũhoro, na ndũgaakire.
10 for I am with thee, and no one is able to harm thee; and I have much people in this city.
Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe nawe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgũgũtharĩkĩra agwĩke ũũru, tondũ ndĩ na andũ aingĩ gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.”
11 And he resided in Corinth a year and six months, and taught them the word of God.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Paũlũ agĩikara kũu mwaka ũmwe na nuthu, akĩmarutaga kiugo kĩa Ngai.
12 And when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews assembled together against Paul; and they brought him before the judgment-seat,
Rĩrĩa Galio aarĩ barũthi wa Akaia, Ayahudi makĩnyiitana magĩtharĩkĩra Paũlũ na makĩmũtwara igooti-inĩ.
13 saying: This man persuadeth the people to worship God contrary to the law.
Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ araringĩrĩria andũ kũhooya Ngai na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩreganĩte na watho.”
14 And when Paul requested that he might open his mouth and speak, Gallio said to the Jews: If your accusation, O Jews, related to any wrong done, or any fraud, or base act, I would listen to you suitably.
Na rĩrĩa Paũlũ endaga kwaria, Galio akĩĩra Ayahudi atĩrĩ, “Korwo inyuĩ Ayahudi mũrateta nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ mũũru kana ngero njũru-rĩ, nĩ hangĩrĩ na gĩtũmi gĩa kũmũthikĩrĩria inyuĩ.
15 But if the contests are about words, and about names, and concerning your law, ye must see to it among yourselves, for I am not disposed to be a judge of such matters.
No kuona atĩ nĩ ũhoro wa ciũria ikoniĩ ciugo na marĩĩtwa na watho wanyu inyuĩ ene-rĩ, menyai ũrĩa mũgwĩka. Niĩ ndigũtuĩka mũtui ciira wa maũndũ ta macio.”
16 And he repelled them from his judgment-seat.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga marutũrũrwo kuuma igooti-inĩ.
17 And all the Gentiles laid hold of Sosthenes an Elder of the synagogue, and smote him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio disregarded these things.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi acio othe makĩgarũrũkĩra Sosithene mũtongoria wa thunagogi, na makĩmũhũũrĩra hau mbere ya igooti. No Galio ndaigana kũrũmbũyania na ũhoro ũcio o na atĩa.
18 And when Paul had been there many days, he bid adieu to the brethren, and departed by sea to go to Syria. And with him went Priscilla and Aquila, when he had shaved his head at Cenchrea, because he had vowed a vow.
Paũlũ nĩaikarire kũu Korinitho kwa ihinda. Agĩcooka agĩtiga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ kuo, akĩhaica marikabu agĩthiĩ Suriata, marĩ hamwe na Pirisila na Akula. Atanahaica marikabu, aambire akĩenjwo njuĩrĩ yake arĩ kũu Kenikirea, tondũ wa mwĩhĩtwa eehĩtĩte.
19 And they came to Ephesus; and Paul entered the synagogue, and discoursed with the Jews.
Nao maakinya Efeso, Paũlũ agĩtiga Pirisila na Akula kuo. We mwene agĩtoonya thunagogi na akĩaranĩria na Ayahudi.
20 And they requested him to tarry with them: but he could not be persuaded.
Nao makĩmũũria aikaranganie nao kuo, nowe akĩrega.
21 For he said: I must certainly keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem. But, if it please God, I will come again to you.
No rĩrĩa oimaga kuo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aakorwo nĩ wendi wa Ngai, nĩndĩrĩcooka.” Nake akĩhaica marikabu akiuma Efeso.
22 And Aquila and Priscilla he left at Ephesus, and he himself proceeded by sea and came to Caesarea. And he went up and saluted the members of the church, and went on to Antioch.
Rĩrĩa aakinyire Kaisarea, akĩambata agĩthiĩ kũgeithia Kanitha, agĩcooka agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ nginya Antiokia.
23 And when he had been there some days, he departed, and travelled from place to place in the regions of Phrygia and Galatia, establishing all the disciples.
Na thuutha wa Paũlũ gũikaranga kũu Antiokia, akiuma kuo, na agĩthiĩ kũndũ na kũndũ bũrũri wothe wa Galatia na Firigia, akĩũmagĩrĩria arutwo othe.
24 And a certain man named Apollos, a Jew, a native of Alexandria, who was trained to eloquence, and well taught in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
O ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Mũyahudi wetagwo Apolo, waciarĩirwo Alekisanderia, agĩũka Efeso. Aarĩ mũndũ mũthomu, na aarĩ na ũũgĩ mũingĩ mũno wa Maandĩko.
25 He had been instructed in the ways of the Lord, and was fervent in spirit; and he discoursed and taught fully respecting Jesus, while yet he knew nothing except the baptism of John.
Nĩarutĩtwo na njĩra ĩrĩa ya Mwathani, na akaaragia na kĩyo kĩnene, na akarutanaga ũhoro wa Jesũ atekũhĩtia, o na gũtuĩka ũbatithio ũrĩa ooĩ warĩ o wa Johana.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him to their house, and fully showed him the way of the Lord.
Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwaria na ũcamba kũu thunagogi-inĩ. Rĩrĩa Pirisila na Akula maamũiguire akĩaria, makĩmũnyiita ũgeni kwao mũciĩ na makĩmũtaarĩria ũhoro wa njĩra ya Ngai wega makĩria.
27 And when he was disposed to go to Achaia, the brethren anticipated him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. And, by going, through grace, he greatly assisted all them that believed.
Na rĩrĩa Apolo eendaga gũthiĩ Akaia, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ makĩmũũmĩrĩria na makĩandĩkĩra arutwo akuo marũa makĩmeera mamwamũkĩre. Na aakinya kuo agĩtuĩka ũteithio mũnene kũrĩ andũ arĩa meetĩkĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa wega wa Ngai.
28 For he reasoned powerfully against the Jews, before the congregation; and showed from the scriptures, respecting Jesus, that he is the Messiah.
Nĩgũkorwo arĩ na ũhoti mũingĩ, nĩahootire Ayahudi biũ mbere ya andũ othe, akĩonanagia kuuma kũrĩ Maandĩko atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
