Atũmwo 18
1 Thuutha ũcio, Paũlũ akiuma Athene agĩthiĩ Korinitho.
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
2 Aakinya kũu agĩkora Mũyahudi wetagwo Akula, mũndũ waciarĩirwo Ponto, na aakoretwo oka kuuma Italia marĩ na mũtumia wake Pirisila, tondũ Kilaudio nĩathanĩte Ayahudi othe moime Roma. Nake Paũlũ agĩthiĩ kũmona,
( And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and he came to them.
3 na tondũ Paũlũ aarĩ mũtumi wa hema o tao-rĩ, agĩikarania na akĩrutithania wĩra nao.
And because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and worked: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
4 O mũthenya wa Thabatũ nĩaheanaga ũhoro thunagogi-inĩ, akĩgeria kũiguithia Ayahudi na Ayunani.
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
5 Rĩrĩa Sila na Timotheo mookire kuuma Makedonia, Paũlũ akĩĩrutĩra gũkorwo akĩhunjia mahinda mothe, na akoimbũragĩra Ayahudi atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
And when Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6 No rĩrĩa Ayahudi maakararirie Paũlũ na makĩmũruma, akĩribariba nguo ciake nĩ ũndũ wa kũngʼũrĩka na akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thakame yanyu ĩromũcookerera! Niĩ ndirĩ ũndũ ingĩũrio nĩ ũndũ wanyu. Kuuma rĩu ngũcooka gũthiĩ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.”
And when they opposed them, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Paũlũ akiuma kũu thunagogi-inĩ, agĩthiĩ kwa mũndũ wetagwo Titio Jusito, warĩ mũhooi Ngai, nayo nyũmba yake yariganĩtie na thunagogi.
And he departed from there, and entered into the house of a certain man named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was next to the synagogue.
8 Nake Kirisipo, ũrĩa warĩ mũtongoria wa thunagogi, agĩĩtĩkia Mwathani hamwe na nyũmba yake yothe; na andũ aingĩ a Korinitho arĩa maamũiguire akĩaria magĩĩtĩkia na makĩbatithio.
And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
9 Ũtukũ ũmwe Mwathani akĩĩra Paũlũ na kĩoneki atĩrĩ, “Ndũkae gwĩtigĩra; thiĩ na mbere na kũheana ũhoro, na ndũgaakire.
Then the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
10 Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe nawe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgũgũtharĩkĩra agwĩke ũũru, tondũ ndĩ na andũ aingĩ gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.”
For I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee to hurt thee: for I have many people in this city.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Paũlũ agĩikara kũu mwaka ũmwe na nuthu, akĩmarutaga kiugo kĩa Ngai.
And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Rĩrĩa Galio aarĩ barũthi wa Akaia, Ayahudi makĩnyiitana magĩtharĩkĩra Paũlũ na makĩmũtwara igooti-inĩ.
And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
13 Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ araringĩrĩria andũ kũhooya Ngai na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩreganĩte na watho.”
Saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 Na rĩrĩa Paũlũ endaga kwaria, Galio akĩĩra Ayahudi atĩrĩ, “Korwo inyuĩ Ayahudi mũrateta nĩ ũndũ wa ũndũ mũũru kana ngero njũru-rĩ, nĩ hangĩrĩ na gĩtũmi gĩa kũmũthikĩrĩria inyuĩ.
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked crimes, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
15 No kuona atĩ nĩ ũhoro wa ciũria ikoniĩ ciugo na marĩĩtwa na watho wanyu inyuĩ ene-rĩ, menyai ũrĩa mũgwĩka. Niĩ ndigũtuĩka mũtui ciira wa maũndũ ta macio.”
But if it is a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga marutũrũrwo kuuma igooti-inĩ.
And he drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi acio othe makĩgarũrũkĩra Sosithene mũtongoria wa thunagogi, na makĩmũhũũrĩra hau mbere ya igooti. No Galio ndaigana kũrũmbũyania na ũhoro ũcio o na atĩa.
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18 Paũlũ nĩaikarire kũu Korinitho kwa ihinda. Agĩcooka agĩtiga ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ kuo, akĩhaica marikabu agĩthiĩ Suriata, marĩ hamwe na Pirisila na Akula. Atanahaica marikabu, aambire akĩenjwo njuĩrĩ yake arĩ kũu Kenikirea, tondũ wa mwĩhĩtwa eehĩtĩte.
And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and took his leave of the brethren, and sailed from there into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
19 Nao maakinya Efeso, Paũlũ agĩtiga Pirisila na Akula kuo. We mwene agĩtoonya thunagogi na akĩaranĩria na Ayahudi.
And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Nao makĩmũũria aikaranganie nao kuo, nowe akĩrega.
When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
21 No rĩrĩa oimaga kuo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aakorwo nĩ wendi wa Ngai, nĩndĩrĩcooka.” Nake akĩhaica marikabu akiuma Efeso.
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return to you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
22 Rĩrĩa aakinyire Kaisarea, akĩambata agĩthiĩ kũgeithia Kanitha, agĩcooka agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ nginya Antiokia.
And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 Na thuutha wa Paũlũ gũikaranga kũu Antiokia, akiuma kuo, na agĩthiĩ kũndũ na kũndũ bũrũri wothe wa Galatia na Firigia, akĩũmagĩrĩria arutwo othe.
And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 O ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Mũyahudi wetagwo Apolo, waciarĩirwo Alekisanderia, agĩũka Efeso. Aarĩ mũndũ mũthomu, na aarĩ na ũũgĩ mũingĩ mũno wa Maandĩko.
And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 Nĩarutĩtwo na njĩra ĩrĩa ya Mwathani, na akaaragia na kĩyo kĩnene, na akarutanaga ũhoro wa Jesũ atekũhĩtia, o na gũtuĩka ũbatithio ũrĩa ooĩ warĩ o wa Johana.
This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 Nake akĩambĩrĩria kwaria na ũcamba kũu thunagogi-inĩ. Rĩrĩa Pirisila na Akula maamũiguire akĩaria, makĩmũnyiita ũgeni kwao mũciĩ na makĩmũtaarĩria ũhoro wa njĩra ya Ngai wega makĩria.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him, and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
27 Na rĩrĩa Apolo eendaga gũthiĩ Akaia, ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ makĩmũũmĩrĩria na makĩandĩkĩra arutwo akuo marũa makĩmeera mamwamũkĩre. Na aakinya kuo agĩtuĩka ũteithio mũnene kũrĩ andũ arĩa meetĩkĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa wega wa Ngai.
And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he had come, helped them much who had believed through grace:
28 Nĩgũkorwo arĩ na ũhoti mũingĩ, nĩahootire Ayahudi biũ mbere ya andũ othe, akĩonanagia kuuma kũrĩ Maandĩko atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
