Acts 18
1 After that, Paul left Athens [city] and went to Corinth [city].
Ye sikilile imbombo isio, u Pqulo alyavukile ku Athene kuluta ku Korintho.
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.
Ukuo akamwaghile umuYahudi juno itambulivu Akwila umunhu ghwa likabula lya Ponto, umwene nu ndala ghwamwene juno itambulivua Prisila valisile kuhuma ukuo ku Italia, u lwakuva ukilaudia alyalaghile ava Yahudi vooni vabuuke ku Roma;
3 Those two made tents [to earn] ([money/a living]). Paul also made tents, so he stayed with them, and they all worked together.
U Paulo alikalile nakuvomba imbombo navene ulwakuva umwene ivomba imbombo jino jiling'ana ni jivanave. Avvene valyale vinosya ifivighili.
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].
U Paulo akapuling'ana navene munyumba ijakufunyila mufighono fyooni ifya sabati. Alyavavulile ava Yahudi palikimo nava Giriki.
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.
Looli usauli nu Timotheo yevisile kuhuma ku Makidonia, u Paulo alyasung'ilue nu Mhepo kukuvolela ava Yahudi kuuti u Yesu ghwe Kilisite.
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!”
Unsiki ghuno valyan'kanile name kukunsyojola, pe u Paulo akakung'unile umwenda ghwa mwene pavulongolo pavanave, na kukuvavula, “Idanda jinu jive vwimila vwa matue ghiinu jumuie; Une nisila makole. Kuhumalino na kughendelela, nikuvalutila avapanji”.
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.
Pe akavuka kuhuma pala akaluta kunyumba ja Tito Yusto, umunhu juno ikunsuma u Nguluve. Inyumba jamwene jilipipi ni nyumba ja kufunyila.
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].
U Krispo, mulongosi ghwa nyumba ja kufunyila palikimo na vanhu avamunyumba ja mwene vakamwitika u Mutwa. Avanhu vinga kuhumakuhuma ku Koritho ye vapulike u Paulo ijova valitike nana kukwofghua.
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,
U Nguluve akam'bula u Paulo pakilo kusila ijambonekelo, “Nungoghopaghe, looli jovagha nungajikaghe Kimmie.
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.”
Ulwakuva une nilipalikimo nuve, nakuale juno kumwa ighela kukunangania, ulwakuva nili navanhu vinga mulikaja ili”.
11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching people the message from God [about Jesus].
U Paulo akikalile ukuo ku Niki ugwa mwaka ghumo na Messi n'tanda ye ivulanisia ilisio ilya Nguluve muvanave.
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],
Looli u Galio akavombilue kuva n'temi ughwa ku Akaya, ava Yahudi vakima palikimo nhu Paulo na pikun'twala pavulongolo pakitengo ikya vuhighi,
13 saying, “This man is teaching people [a false religion, leading them] to worship God in ways that are contrary to our [Jewish] laws.”
vakaati, “Umunhu uju ikuvahonga avanhu vifunyaghe kwa Nguluve kisila vutavike vwa ndaghhilo”.
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].
Unsiki ghuno u Paulo ye ilonda kujova, u Galio akavavula ava Yahudi, “Umue mwe vayahudi, ndavule ilikosa au uvunangifi, jalejiva kyang'ani kuvavombela.
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!”
Looli ulwakuva ye maswali, ghano ghiling'ana na mansion namatavua kange ni ndaghilo sinu, kange muhighanaghe jumue mwevene. Une naninoghuananinoghua kuuti nive muhighi ghwa aghuo.”
16 After Gallio [had said that], he [commanded some soldiers/guards] that [they] expel those [Jewish leaders] from the courtroom.
U Galio akavavula vavubuke pavulongolo pa kitengo ikyavuhighi,
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.
Mu uluo, vakan'kola u Sosthene, umulongosi ughwa nyumba ija kufunyila, vakan'tova pavulongolo pa kitengo ikyavuhighi. Looli ugalio nakoghwipe kino valya vombile.
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].
U Paulo, ye ikalile pala unsiki n'tali, akavaleka avanyalukolo pe akaluta ni Melissa ku Siria palikimo nu Prisila nu Akwila. Ye vakyale kuvuka ku bandali, alyaketile ilinyele lya mwene ulwakuva alijighile kuuti m'pesie.
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.
Ye vafikile ku Efeso, u Paulo alyamulekale u Prisila nu Akwila Pala, looli jujuo mwene akingila munyumba ijakufunyila nakupuling'ana na va Yahudi
20 They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
Ye vam'bulile u Paulo ikale navene unsiki un'tali, umwene akakanile.
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.
Looli akavuka kuvanave, akavavula, “Nigomoka kange kulyumue, ulwakuuva vwevughane vwa Nguluve”. Apuo, akabuka ni Meli kuhuma ku Efeso.
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].
U Paulo ye imile ku Kaisaria, akatogha kuluta kuhungila inyumba imbaha inyimike ija kufunyila ija ku Yerusalemu, kange akika paasi panyumba imbaha inyimike ija ku Antiokia.
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].
Ye ikalile munsiki Pala, u Paulo alyabukile kukila ku fisala ifya Galatia na ku Frigia nakuvakangasia inumbula ava vulanisivua vooni.
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.
Umu Yahudi jumo juno itambulivua Apolo, juno alyaholilue ukuo ku Alexandria, Akisa ku Efeso. alyale mfwihu kujova ni ngufu muvulembe.
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.
U Apollo akavulilue mu ndaghilo sa Mutwa. Ndavule alyale ni ngufu nu Mhepo, alyajovile nakuvulanisia vunofu ghano ghiling'ana nu Yesu, alyakaguile kuuti lwe lwofugho lwa Yohana.
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].
U Apolo akatengula kujova kuvukangafu munyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila. Looli u Prisila nu Akwila ye vam'pulike, valyavombile uvumanyani nu mwene kange vakamwolelela ku kyanya musila ija Nguluve vunofu.
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].
Ye anoghilue kuvuka kuluta ku Akaya, avanyalukolo vakan'kangasia inumbula na pikuvalembela ikalata avavulanisivua vano valyale ku Akaya kuuti vamwupile. Ye afikile kulusungu alyatangile kyongo vala vano valyamwitike.
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.
Ku ngufu sa mwene Navarro manyani, u Apolo alyavakilile ava Yahudi pavwelu ye ivonesia kuhumila amalembe agha kuuti u Yesu ghwe Kilisite.
