< Acts 18 >

1 And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,
Lan ya puoli, Polo den ñiani Atena ki gedi Kolinta.
2 and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife — because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome — he came to them,
Lan po, o den sua Jufi yendo ke bi yi o Akilasa Pono yua, ke o den cua cancani Italia yeni o pua Pricila kelima loma bado kiloda den cedi leni u paalu ke bi ñani jufinba kuli loma diemani. Nani bi kuli n den pia tuonbuo yendu yeni,
3 and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft;
Polo den kali bi deni, ke bi ji den taa ki tuuni. bi den tagi ti gbandiedi.
4 and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Mi fuodima daali kuli, Polo yen maadi U Tienu maama U Tienu dieli nni, o maama den siiga jufinba leni gelekinba pala.
5 And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;
Ama Silasa leni Timote n den pundi Meseduna bi den puni bi yula Utienu maama wangima. ki tiendi siedi jufinba po, ke Jesu n tie Kilisiti U Tienu n gandi yua.
6 and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken [his] garments, he said unto them, 'Your blood [is] upon your head — I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.'
Lan yaapo jufinba den fii ki pani bi po, ki sugidiba. Polo den fegi o yuli ki mii o tiayiekaadi ki yedi: yi soama n gua ki wuli yi yula po min wani ñana. ki cili leni dinla n baa cili kaa wangidi o labaali ŋamo bi nilanba po.
7 And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,
Wan den ñani lan kani o den kua ya joa ke yi o Jusitusa deni, laa Joa den pia Utienu fangili. o diegu den taabi libali maama bagima dieli.
8 and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.
Kilisipusa libalimaama bangima dieli yudaano den tuo ki daani Jesu leni o diegunni yaaba. Kolinta yaaba yaabin den cengi Polo maama moko den tuo ki daani Jesu ki go den gaa mi batisima.
9 And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, 'Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;
Ǹayengu Odiedo den doagidi Polo o guaminni ki yedi o: ŋan da jie liba, ŋan yaa maadi ki da cedi,
10 because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;'
kelima n ye leni ŋa. o ba kan sii ŋa bi ki tieni ŋa yaali n bia, n pia n niba yaa doguni tiena niini.
11 and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
Polo den tieni lan kani binli leni ŋmali luoba Kolinta yaaba siiga ki den wangiba U Tienu maama.
12 And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal,
Yaa yogunu ke Galiyo den tie Akayi diema Gufeeneli, jufinba den taani noabu ki yie Polo ki den gedini o Gufeeneli bujiali kaanu kani
13 saying — 'Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;'
Ki yedi: Yaa joa yene bangi bi niba ki go tigini ban ya ŋoa U Tienu nani libalimaama n kaa bili mama.
14 and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, 'If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,
Yaa yogunu ke Polo den yaadi o ŋoabu ki baa maadi; Galiyo den yedi jufinba: li yaabi tie tagili ba bii tuongunda ba nba bi tieni ania ki cengi yi maama.
15 but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves [to it], for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,'
Ama li ya tie ke yi nia mimaama po, bi a yela lan ya ka yin ŋoa yaa balimaama po, lan wan ŋua yi. mii bua, ki tua yi bujialo laa bonli po.
16 and he drave them from the tribunal;
Galiyo den teli ba, ki yedi ba ban fuadi li bujiali kaanu kani.
17 and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.
Lane ke bi den taani ki cuo sositena yua n tie li balimaama bangima dieli yudaano, ki pua o li bujiali kaanu kani. Galiyo, naa den yagi o yama li po.
18 And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria — and with him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas — having shorn [his] head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;
Polo den go kali ki waagi Kolinta; li puoli o den cabi o kpiiba ki fii. o den kua ku ñindabiagu ki caa Sili diema, wani leni Pilisila leni Akilasa. o den cedi ke bi kuo o yuli Sankelita dogunni kelima o den niani O tienu u ñoanianu.
19 and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews:
Ban den pundi Efesa, Polo den ŋa o yegininkaaba. o den kua libali maama bangima dielinni ki boe leni jufinba.
20 and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,
Bi den mia o wan sedi leni ba dana ba bolee.
21 but took leave of them, saying, 'It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you — God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus,
Ama waa den tuo. o den cabiba ki yedi; li tie tiladi min jaani ya janmin kpendi ne Jelusalema. n ba gua ki cua ki lee yi U Tienu yaa bua. o den ñani Efesa.
22 and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
O den pundi Sesala leni ku ñindabiagu; ki pendi ki gedi Jelusalema. o den fuondi li jandieli yaaba ki go den suagi ki gedi Antiosa.
23 And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Polo den tieni yogunu ba bolee. Antiosa wan den ñani lan lan kani o gedi Galata leni filigi diemani ki gaani ki fuondi o kpiiba lidandanlinni ki go den paagi bi paala.
24 And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus,
Laa yogunu Jufi yendo ke bi yi o Apolosa, ke o tie Alesandili dogu yua. o den cua cancanni Efesa.
25 this one was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John;
laa joa den bani mi maama leni i diani bonŋanla. Bi den bangi o o diedo sanwadima. o den maadi leni liyankuali ki wangidi O tienu maama ki go congidi bonŋanla ya maama n tuugi leni Jesu, baa leni wan bani Jan ya batisima baba.
26 this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them], and did more exactly expound to him the way of God,
O den kua libalimaama bangima dielinni ki maadi leni li papaali. Akilasa leni Plisila n den cengi o maama, bi den ta o ke o ye leni ba ke bi doagidi o po Utienu sanŋoadima.
27 and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace,
Nani wan n bi bua ki tagini Akayi diemani, o kpiba Jesu nni yaaba n den ye Efesa den paagi o pali. bi go den diani li tili Jesu ŋoadi kaaba yaabin den ye Akayi, ki ban ga o cangu. wan den pundi Akayi leni U Tienu ŋanbili po, o den todi boncianla yaabin den tuo ki daani Jesu.
28 for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
bi kuli nintuali o den nia leni jufinba, ki doagidi ki waani i dianinni ke Jesu n tie Kilisiti U tienu n gagidi yua.
