Acts 18
1 After these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Payamasile yeleyo, che Paolo ŵatyosile ku Asene ni kwaula ku Kolinto.
2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to them,
Ku Kolinto ko ŵansimene Myahudi jumo jwa ku Ponto liina lyakwe che Akila. Che Akila ŵaliji pamo ni ŵankwawo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Pilisila, ni mmoŵa gagogo pego ŵausile kutyochela ku Italia pakuŵa mwenye che Kilaudio ŵalamwile kuti Ŵayahudi wose atyoche ku Loma. Che Paolo ni ŵajawile kukwalola,
3 and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
ni pakuŵa masengo gao galiji gamo, masengo gakutota mahema, che Paolo ŵatemi nawo ni kupanganya masengo.
4 So Paul reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath. He persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lili lyose che Paolo ŵaŵechetesyene ni ŵandu mu nyuumba ja kupopelela achilingaga kwachisya Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit to testify to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Che Sila ni che Timoseo paŵaiche kutyochela ku Makedonia, che Paolo ŵalityosisye kwa katema kakajinji kulalichila Liloŵe achalosyaga pangasisa Ŵayahudi kuti Che Yesu ali Chiwombosyo.
6 When the Jews opposed and insulted him, Paul shook out his garment at them and said to them, “May your blood be upon your own heads; I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Nambo paŵankanile ni kuntukana, che Paolo ŵakung'undile luundu mu iwalo yao paujo pao ni kuti, “Mwajonasikaga, chinnyimanyilile mwachinsyene, uneji nganingola magambo. Ni kutandila sambano chinaajaulile ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.”
7 Then he left from there and went to the house of Titius Justus, a man who worshiped God. His house was next to the synagogue.
Nipele che Paolo ŵatyosile kweleko ni kwaula kutama mu nyuumba ja mundu jumo jwangaŵa Myahudi, juŵaajogopaga Akunnungu, mundu jo liina lyakwe che Tito Yusto, nyuumba jao jaŵandikene ni nyuumba ja kupopelela.
8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all those who lived in his house; and many of the Corinthians who heard about it believed and were baptized.
Che Kilispo, juŵaliji jwankulu jwa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jao wose ŵaakulupilile Ambuje. Ŵakolinto ŵajinji ŵaupilikanile utenga wo nipele ŵakulupilile ni kubatiswa.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent.
Chilo chimo Ambuje ŵansalile che Paolo mu yakwiwona, “Kasinjogopa, nlimbile kulalichila pe ni nkaleka kupanganya chinkuchipanganya cho,
10 For I am with you, and no one will try to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
pakuŵa uneji nansyene ndili pamo nomwe. Ngapagwa jwalijose juchalinje kumpoteka pakuŵa pamusi wu ngwete ŵandu ŵajinji.”
11 Paul lived there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Nipele, che Paolo ŵatemi kweleko chaka ni miesi nsano ni umo achajiganyaga ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
12 But when Gallio became governor of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat;
Nambo katema che Galio paŵaliji jwankulu jwa chilambo cha Akaya, Ŵayahudi ŵasimene, ŵankamwile che Paolo ni kunjausya ku nkungulu.
13 they said, “This man persuades people to worship God contrary to the law.”
Ni ŵatite, “Mundu ju akwachisya ŵandu ŵapopelele Akunnungu pangagakuya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.”
14 Yet when Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “You Jews, if indeed it were a matter of wrong or a crime, it would be reasonable to deal with you.
Che Paolo akanaŵe kuŵecheta, che Galio ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi, “Mpilikanile ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi! Ikaliji isyene mundu ju aleŵile pane atesile yangalumbana ngampilikanichisye.
15 But since these are questions about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I do not wish to be a judge of these matters.”
Nambo iŵaga makani ga gali gankati maloŵe ni meena ni malajisyo genu, nlamule mwachinsyene. Uneji ngangusaka kuŵa jwakulamula jwa indu yo!”
16 Gallio made them leave the judgment seat.
Nipele ŵaaŵinjile ŵanyawo akopoche pa nkungulu.
17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio did not care what they did.
Ni ŵandu wose ŵankamwile che Sositene juŵaliji jwankulu jwa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila ni ŵamputile palapala paujo pa nkungulu ula. Nambo che Galio nganaikosya yeleyo.
18 Paul, after staying there for many more days, left the brothers and sailed for Syria with Priscilla and Aquila. Before he left the seaport, Cenchrea, he had his hair cut off because of a vow he had taken.
Che Paolo ŵatemi ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵala ku Kolinto ko moŵa gamajinji. Nipele ŵaalanjile, ŵakwesile ngalaŵa pamo ni che Pilisila ni che Akila ni kwaula ku Silia. Paŵaiche ku Kenkelea, che Paolo ŵamyosile umbo syao mu ntwe ligongo ŵataŵile nasili.
19 When they came to Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Ni ŵaiche ku Efeso, kweleko che Paolo ŵalesile che Pilisila ni che Akila, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela ni kutanda kuusyausyana ni Ŵayahudi.
20 When they asked Paul to stay a longer time, he declined.
Ŵandu ŵa pelepo ŵachondelele che Paolo atame pamo ni ŵandu wo moŵa gamajinji gane, nambo che Paolo nganasaka.
21 But taking his leave of them, he said, “I will return again to you if it is God's will.” He then set sail from Ephesus.
Nambo paŵalangaga ŵatite, “Chimuje sooni kukwenu Akunnungu asakaga.” Ni ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa ni kutyoka mu Efeso mula.
22 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the Jerusalem church and then went down to Antioch.
Che Paolo paŵaiche ku Kaisalia, ŵajawile ku Yelusalemu kukuukomasya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa kweleko, nipele ŵatuluchile ku Antiokia.
23 After having spent some time there, Paul departed and went through the regions of Galatia and Phrygia and strengthened all the disciples.
Che Paolo ŵatemi kweleko moŵa kanandipe ni ŵatandite ulendo achipitilaga ku Galatia ni ku Filigia achalimbisyaga mitima ŵandu wose ŵakwakuya Che Yesu.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, came to Ephesus. He was eloquent in speech and mighty in the scriptures.
Nipele Myahudi jumo liina lyakwe che Apolo mundu jwa ku Alekisandilia, ŵaiche ku Efeso. Mundu ju ŵaliji jwakuŵecheta uchenene ni juŵagamanyililaga Malembelo ga Akunnungu.
25 Apollos had been instructed in the teachings of the Lord. Being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, but he knew only the baptism of John.
Mundu ju ŵajiganyikwe litala lya Ambuje ni mu mbumu ŵachalilaga kusala ngani si Che Yesu, ŵajiganyisye chenene ngani si Che Yesu namuno ŵaumanyilile ubatiso u che Yohana pe.
26 Apollos began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Che Pilisila ni che Akila paŵampilikene mundu jo ali nkuŵecheta mu nyuumba ja kupopelela pangajogopa, ŵanjigele kumangwao ni kunjiganya Litala lya Akunnungu kwa uchenene nnope.
27 When he desired to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples in Achaia to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who believed by grace.
Che Apolo paŵasachile kwaula ku Akaya, ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵa ku Efeso ŵanlimbisye ntima ni kwalembela ŵakulijiganya ŵa ku Akaya kuti ampochele. Che Apolo paŵaiche kweleko, Akunnungu ŵankamuchisye mu upile wao, ni ŵakombwele kwakamusya nnope ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu,
28 Apollos powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, showing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
kwa ukombole wao wa kuŵecheta ŵapundile Ŵayahudi paujo pa ŵandu achalosyaga Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito.
