Acts 18
1 After that, Paul left Athens [city] and went to Corinth [city].
Hessafe guye, Phawuloosi Ateenappe keyidi, Qoronttoosa bis.
2 There he met a Jew whose name was Aquila, who grew up in Pontus [province]. Aquila and his wife Priscilla had recently come from [Rome, in] Italy. [They had previously left Rome] because Claudius, [the Roman Emperor], had ordered that all the Jews must leave Rome. Paul later went to see Aquila and Priscilla.

3 Those two made tents [to earn] ([money/a living]). Paul also made tents, so he stayed with them, and they all worked together.
Iya oosoy enttayssada dunkkaane siko gidiya gisho, enttara uttidi issife oothis.
4 Every Sabbath, Paul [went] to the Jewish meeting place, where he spoke forcefully to both Jews and non-Jews. He repeatedly tried to persuade them [that Jesus is the Messiah].
Phawuloosi Sambbaata ubban Ayhudetanne Giriketa ammanthanaw Ayhude Woosa Keethan palamees.
5 Then Silas and Timothy arrived there from Macedonia province. After they arrived, Paul [did not make tents any more. He] used all his time preaching [the message about Jesus in the Jewish meeting place]. He continued to tell the Jews [that] the Messiah they had been waiting for was Jesus.
Sillaaseynne Ximotiyoosi Maqedooniyappe yida wode Phawuloosi ba kumetha wodiya immidi Ayhudetas Yesuusi I, Kiristtoosa gidi qaala odis.
6 But the Jews began to oppose Paul and to say evil things about him. So he shook [the dust from] his clothes [to show them that they were displeasing God. Then] he said to them, “If God punishes you, it will be your [SYN] own fault [MTY], not mine! From now on I will go [and preach] to non-Jewish people!”
Shin entti Phawuloosa ixxidi iya cayin Phawuloosi ba ma7uwappe baanaa qoqqofishe, “Hintte gomey hinttena oykko; taani hessan de7ikke. Hizappe guye, taani Ayhude gidonna asaakko bays” yaagis.
7 So Paul left [the Jewish meeting place] and went into a house that was next to it, [and preached there]. Titius Justus, the owner of the house, was a non-Jewish man who had accepted what the Jews believe.
Yaappe keyidi Xoossaa goynniya Titoos Yosxoosa giya uraa soo bis. Yosxoosa keethay Ayhude Woosa Keetha matan de7ees.
8 [After that], the ruler of the Jewish meeting place, [whose name was] Crispus, and all of his family [MTY] believed in the Lord [Jesus]. Many other people in Corinth who listened [to Paul] also believed [in Jesus]. Then they were baptized. [But there were people who still opposed Paul and his preaching].
Ayhude Woosa Keetha halaqay Qarisphoosi ba soo asa ubbaara Godaa ammanis. Qoronttoosa asatappeka daroti Xoossaa qaala si7ida wode ammanidi xammaqettidosona.
9 One night Paul had a vision in which the Lord [Jesus] said to him, “Do not be afraid [of those who oppose you]. Instead, you should continue speaking [to people about me]. Do not stop,
Goday issi qamma Phawuloosas qonccidi, “Yayyofa; oda, si7i gooppa.
10 because I [will help] you, and no one will be able to harm you [(sg) here. Keep telling people about me], because there are many in this city who will [believe in] me.”
Taani neera de7ays. Taw ha kataman daro asi de7iya gisho nena qohidi iitaban yeggana asi oonikka baawa” yaagis.
11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching people the message from God [about Jesus].

12 When Gallio was the [Roman] governor of Achaia [province], the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there got together and seized Paul. They took him before Gallio [and accused him],
Gaaliyoosi Akkaya biittaa aysiya wode Ayhudeti issife Phawuloosa bolla denddidi pirdda keethi iya efidi,
13 saying, “This man is teaching people [a false religion, leading them] to worship God in ways that are contrary to our [Jewish] laws.”
“Ha addey higgiya ixxidi, asay Xoossaa goynnana mela oothees” yaagidosona.
14 When Paul was about to speak [MTY] [to defend himself], Gallio said to the Jews, “If this man had acted deceitfully or disobeyed [any of our Roman] laws, I would listen [patiently] to what you Jews [want to tell me].
Phawuloosi haasayana hanishin, Gaaliyoosi Ayhudetakko, “Ayhudetoo, hessi iita ooso woykko naaqo gidiyakko taani hinttebaa dandda7ada si7anaw bessees.
15 However, you are merely arguing about words and names and your own [Jewish] laws, so you yourselves need to resolve this. I refuse to judge these things!”
Shin qaalas, sunthasinne hintte higgiyas hintte palamiyabaa gidikko hinttee, hinttew billite; hessa taani pirddike” yaagis.
16 After Gallio [had said that], he [commanded some soldiers/guards] that [they] expel those [Jewish leaders] from the courtroom.
Yaatidi, entta pirdda keethafe kare kessis.
17 Then [the mob outside] grabbed the leader of the Jewish meeting place, Sosthenes [because they considered that he was responsible for those accusations against Paul]. They beat him, right there in front of the courthouse. But Gallio did nothing about it.
Hessafe guye, Girike asay ubbay Ayhude Woosa Keetha halaqaa Sostenisa oykkidi pirdda keethaa sinthan wadhdhidosona. Shin Gaaliyoosi hessa paxabaa gibeenna.
18 Paul stayed on with the believers in Corinth for (many days/some time). Then he left the believers there, and went with Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila. They went down to Cenchrea, [a port city]. There Paul had his head shaved {[someone] shave his head} in order to partially complete a vow that he had taken. Then they got on a ship and sailed for Syria [province].

19 They arrived at Ephesus [city], and Priscilla and Aquila stayed there. [Before Paul left Ephesus], he entered the Jewish meeting place and lectured to the Jews.
Entti Efesoona gakkida wode Phawuloosi Phirisqilonne Aqiila yan aggis. Shin baw Ayhude Woosa Keethi gelidi Ayhudetara odettis.
20 They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
Entti banttara daro wode uttana mela Phawuloosa woossidosona shin I ixxis.
21 But, as he left, he told them, “I will come back, if God wills/desires [me to do that].” Then, [because he wanted to be in Jerusalem to finish completing his vow], he got on [a ship that] sailed from Ephesus.
Enttafe shaakettishe, “Taani yaa baaliya Yerusalaamen bonchchanaw bessees. Shin Xoossi giikko hintteko simma yaana” yaagidi Efesoonappe markkabiyan bis.
22 When the ship arrived at Caesarea, Paul [got off. He] went up [to Jerusalem] and greeted the believers there. Then he went back down to Antioch [city in Syria province].
Qisaariya gakkida wode Yerusalaame bidi woosa keethaa asaa sarothidaappe guye Anxookiya bis.
23 Paul spent some time [with the believers] there. Then he left Antioch and traveled to several towns [that he had visited previously] in Galatia and Phrygia [provinces]. He taught all of the believers more [of the message from God about Jesus].
Yan guutha wode gam77idaappe guye ammaniyaa asata ubbaa minthethishe Galaatiyaranne Firgiyara aadhdhis.
24 [While Paul was traveling in Galatia and Phrygia], a Jewish man whose name was Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria [city]. He [spoke eloquently] and he knew the Scriptures thoroughly.
Iskkinddiriyan yelettida issi Aphiloosa giya Ayhude asi Efesoona bis. I oda eriya asinne Xoossaa qaala daro eriya asi.
25 [Other believers] had taught him [some things] about how the Lord [Jesus desires that people] should conduct themselves, and he taught those things very enthusiastically [to people. He had heard about] some of the things that Jesus did and said, and he taught those facts accurately [to people. However, he was teaching incompletely about Jesus, because] he knew only what John [the Baptizer had taught people whom he] baptized.
Godaa ogiyakka tamaaris, ayyaanan xuugettidi Yesuusabaa suure tamaarssees. Gidoshin, Yohaannisa xinqqatiya xalaala erees.
26 Apollos went to the Jewish meeting place, and he told the people there very confidently the things that he had learned. When Priscilla and Aquila heard what Apollos taught, they invited him [to their home]. There they explained more accurately to him the way [that] God [gives people eternal life].
I Ayhude Woosa Keethan yayyonna tamaarssees. Phirisqilanne Aqiili I odeyssa si7ida wode banttara soo iya efidi Xoossaa ogiya kaseyssafe geeshshidi iyaw odidosona.
27 When Apollos decided that he would like to go to Achaia [province], the believers in Ephesus told him that it would be good for him to do that. So they wrote a letter to the believers [in Achaia saying that they] should welcome Apollos. [So Apollos got on a ship to go to Corinth]. After he arrived, he greatly helped those whom [God] had kindly enabled to believe [in Jesus].
Aphiloosi Akkaya baanaw koyin Efesoonan de7iya ammaniyaa asay iya qofaa ekkidi Akkayan de7iya ammaneysati iya mokkana mela enttaw dabddaabbiya xaafidosona. I yaa gakkida wode Xoossaa aadho keehatetha baggara Yesuus Kiristtoosa ammanidayssata daro maaddis.
28 Apollos was vigorously arguing publicly with [the leaders of] the Jews while many other people listened. [By quoting] from the Scriptures, he proved to people that Jesus was the Messiah.
Ays giikko, Yesuusi I Kiristtoosa gideyssa Ayhudetas Xoossaa qaalappe qonccisidi deriya sinthan minthi odidi entta lathis.
