< Acts 18 >

1 After this he left Athens and came to Corinth.
Nin kidu, Bulus chino ka gbiri Athens amini wa gya udu kagbiri Korint.
2 Here he found a Jew, a native of Pontus, of the name of Aquila. He and his wife Priscilla had recently come from Italy because of Claudius's edict expelling all the Jews from Rome. So Paul paid them a visit;
Kikane a zuro nin ku Bayahudi ulena lisame wadi Akila nin wanime Briskila itabotak konkubi ninkidun unuzu ka gbiri Roma nan nya Italiya. Ichin Roma bar ugo klidius, wabalin Ayahudawa vat chin Roma.
3 and because he was of the same trade--that of tent-maker--he lodged with them and worked with them.
Akila nin Briskila iwadin sesu nikubu libau kia adanga. Ame Bulus wa yiru kia nadanga, ninnanin atinna asọ nan ghinu nin su kata ligowe.
4 But, Sabbath after Sabbath, he preached in the synagogue and tried to win over both Jews and Greeks.
Ko ayeme asabbath, Bulus asa do kintin zursu na Yahudawe, amini asa lira nin na Yahudawa ah alena a Yahudawariba. Amini wa dursuzo nanin kitenen Isa.
5 Now at the time when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was preaching fervently and was solemnly telling the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
Sila nin Timontawus dã unuzu kusarin Makidonia. Dana iduru kikane, Bulus tinna achino kata makeke ku danga. Amini wa yiru kubime chin dursuzu a Yahudawa tipipin kitenen Isa. Amini wa belin nanin ai Isa amere Christi.
6 But upon their opposing him with abusive language, he shook his clothes by way of protest, and said to them, "Your ruin will be upon your own heads. I am not responsible: in future I will go among the Gentiles."
Kikane a Yahudawa tinna inari Bulus ku inin tinna na belu imong inanzan kiteneme. Ninnanin atin na azalina lidau nalutik me bar Kutellẹ lanza man ninghinu ba, anin woro nanin,”Andi Kutellẹ ma sumunu uhor, a ma su bar anughere, na bar men ba! Nuzu nene udunbun Inma di belu kiti na Lena a Yahudawari ba!
7 So he left the place and went to the house of a person called Titius Justus, a worshipper of the true God. His house was next door to the synagogue.
Bar nanin Bulus tinna achino kitin zursu na Yahudawa anin duo kilari kana kiwa di kupopo, anin dursuzo kikane. Titus Justus, unan kilare a wadi ku Yahudawa ba amini wadi unan durtu Kutellẹ.
8 And Crispus, the Warden of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household; and from time to time many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and received baptism.
Nin kidun, ude kiti n zursuzu na Yahudawa, iwadin yichighe Krispus, nin vat kilarime wa yinin nin Is. anit gbardan nan nya korintian alena lanza Bulus ku iwa kuru yinna nin Isa inanin wa su nanin ubaptiszima.
9 And, in a vision by night, the Lord said to Paul, "Dismiss your fears: go on speaking, and do not give up.
Nan nya kitik Ugo Isa nuna Bulus ku nmoro yenji kiti bun anin woroghe,”Na uwa lanza fiu nanit alena idinin sufeba, nin nin nanin na uwa ti tik belu kitenenin ba,
10 I am with you, and no one shall attack you to injure you; for I have very many people in this city."
Bar na inma bunfi na umon ma lanzifi ukule kikane ba. leubun bellu nani kiteni, bar anit di gbardan kagbiri kane naidi anit ni ghari.”
11 So Paul remained in Corinth for a year and six months, teaching among them the Message of God.
Nin nanin Blua sọ ata likus kagizi, dursuzu nanin uliru Kutellẹ kitenen Isa.
12 But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.
Dana Galio so kugovuno Roma kusarin Achai, Adide na Yahudawe nin tinna ikifo Bulus ku. Iyira ghe ido kiti govuno nin liru kinu kitene me,
13 "This man," they said, "is inducing people to offer unlawful worship to God."
Inin wor, “Ule unite din dursu anit izazin Kutellẹ nan nya tibau tona arik a Yahudawa yirimun ba.
14 But, when Paul was about to begin his defence, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it had been some wrongful act or piece of cunning knavery I might reasonably have listened to you Jews.
Dana Bulus wa china ulirinu, Gollio nin woro a Yahudawa,”Andi unit ulele puro ma dortu bit a Romaw, da iwa lanzu ilemon na idin belli.
15 But since these are questions about words and names and your Law, you yourselves must see to them. I refuse to be a judge in such matters."
Nin nanin, idin belu kitene tisa nin madortu mine a nin Yahudawa, bar anin atimine iwangha bele imon kitene ni lemone. Bar nanin na men masu uwuchu kiden kitene nile mone ba!
16 So he ordered them out of court.
Dana Gallio belle nanin, amini wa belin a sojoji inutun a dide na Yahudawa nuzu kitin wuchu kiden.
17 Then the people all set upon Sosthenes, the Warden of the synagogue, and beat him severely in front of the court. Gallio did not concern himself in the least about this.
Ninnanin ani tinna ikifo ude na Yahudawa, Sosthennes. inanin wa foghe ibun kitet wusu kiden. Vat nanin Gallio wa su imong kitene ba.
18 After remaining a considerable time longer in Corinth, Paul took leave of the brethren and set sail for Syria; and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had shaved his head at Cenchreae, because he was bound by a vow.
Bulus nin tah ayiri nin nana yinu sauyenu nan nya Korinth. amini wa piru kabarak mmen nin Briskila ah Akila inin kata udu u Siria. Amini wa buo titime bar isilin ile na awa su.
19 They put in at Ephesus, and there Paul left his companions behind. As for himself, he went to the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.
Inanin wa duru kagbiri. Efasu, Briskila nin Akila tinna isuo kikane. Bulus litime pira kitin zursuzu na Yahudawa anin belle a Yahudawa uliru kitenen Isa.
20 When they asked him to remain longer he did not consent,
Inani wa belinghe a ti ayiri, amini wa nari.
21 but took leave of them with the promise, "I will return to you, God willing." So he set sail from Ephesus.
Amini wa bellinanin mma dak in lonliri adi Kutellẹ yinna indak. Ninanin amini wa piru ka barak mmen anin gya udu Efasus.
22 Landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and inquired after the welfare of the Church, and then went down to Antioch.
Dana kabarak mmen da ka gbiri. Kaiseri, Bulutina atolo. Amini wa piro udu Urshalima anin liso anan yinusauyenu kikane. Ninnanin atinna gya udu ka gbiri Antiok kusarin Siria.
23 After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out on a tour, visiting the whole of Galatia and Phrygia in order, and strengthening all the disciples.
Bulus leu kubi nin anan yinusauyenu kikane. Ninnanin atinna achino u Antiok anin pira ningbiri nigbiri gwardan kusarin Galantia nin Firigia. Amini wa risu anan yinusauyenu i yini kan nan nya liri Kutenlẹ kitenen Isa.
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria, a man of great learning and well versed in the Scriptures.
Dana Bulus wa diichin nan aya Firisia, ku Yahudawa lisame wadi Afolos ada Efisus. Awa nuzu kusarin ka gbiri Alexzadria amini wa yiru litafi kan.
25 He had been instructed by word of mouth in the way of the Lord, and, being full of burning zeal, he used to speak and teach accurately the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John's.
Among anan yinnusauyenu durso Apolos ku tibou tona Isa dininsu ait s, amini wadurso imongne kiti nanit. Ninnani, awadi dursuzu imong kap ba kitenen Isa. Bar ame yiru ubaptizzima Yohanari chas.
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Priscilla and Aquila, after hearing him, took him home and explained God's way to him more accurately.
Apolos duo kitin zursuzu na Yahudawa, amini wa belin anite kikane kitene nimong ilena amena yini. Dana Briskila nin Akila lanza udursuzu me, itinna iyiraghe udu gamine inan dursuzoghe kan kitenen Isa.
27 Then, as he had made up his mind to cross over into Greece, the brethren wrote to the disciples in Corinth begging them to give him a kindly welcome. Upon his arrival he rendered valuable help to those who through grace had believed;
Dana Apolos yinna ama ghiu udu kusarin Aciya, anan bi nanya Efisus woroghe uma chaunu asu nanin. Inanin wa nyerti udu kiti nanan bin Aciya inin woro seren Apolos ku nin kibinai kirum. Nin duru kikane, amini wa bun alenge na Kutellẹ wa lanza nkune-kune iyinin nin Yesu.
28 for he powerfully and in public overcame the Jews in argument, proving to them from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Apolos wadi liru nin likara nan nadidya na Yahudawa vat nin nalena iwa din lanzughe. Nanyan bellu niyerte ilauwe, awa yinini udursu nani Yesure umasiye.
