1 Thuutha ũcio, Paũlũ akiuma Athene agĩthiĩ Korinitho.
Baada jha mambo agha, Paulo akabhoka Athene kulota Korintho.
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,
Okhu akankabha myahudi jhaakutibhweghe Akwila munu ghwa kabila lya Ponto, muene ni n'dala munu jhaakutibhweghe Prisila bhahidili kuhoma okhu Italia, kwandabha Klaudia aamuiri bhayahudi bhoha bhabhokayi Roma; Paulo akahida kwa bhene;
3 na tondũ Paũlũ aarĩ mũtumi wa hema o tao-rĩ, agĩikarania na akĩrutithania wĩra nao.
Paulo aishili ni kubhomba mbombo nabhu kwani muene ibhomba mbombo jhajhiwaningana nijha bhene. Bhene bhajhele bhatengenesya mahema.
4 O mũthenya wa Thabatũ nĩaheanaga ũhoro thunagogi-inĩ, akĩgeria kũiguithia Ayahudi na Ayunani.
Paulo ajadiliene nabhu mu sinagogi kila ligono lya sabato. Abhashawishili bhayahudi pamonga ni Bhagiriki.
5 Rĩrĩa Sila na Timotheo mookire kuuma Makedonia, Paũlũ akĩĩrutĩra gũkorwo akĩhunjia mahinda mothe, na akoimbũragĩra Ayahudi atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
Lakini Sila ni Timotheo bhobhahidili kuhoma Makedonia, Paulo asukumibhu ni Roho kubhashuhudila bhayahudi kujha Yesu ndo Kristu.
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.”
Wakati bhayahudi bham'belili ni kumdhihakili, hivyo Paulo akung'uindi liguanda lya muene mbele jha bhene, ni kubhajobhela, “Damu jha jhomu na jhijhelayi panani pa mitu gha jhomu mwebhene; Nene nijhelepi ni hatia. Kuhomela henu ni kujhendelela, nikabhalotela mataifa.”
7 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Paũlũ akiuma kũu thunagogi-inĩ, agĩthiĩ kwa mũndũ wetagwo Titio Jusito, warĩ mũhooi Ngai, nayo nyũmba yake yariganĩtie na thunagogi.
Efyo akabhoka kuhoma pala akalola kunyumba jha TitoYusto, munu jheakamwabudu K'yara. Nyumba jha muene jhihele karibu ni sinagogi.
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.
Kripo, ndongo si ghwa sinagogi pamonga ni bhanu bha panyumba jha muene bhamwamini Bwana. Bhanu bhingi Bhakorintho bho bhampeliki Paulo ilongela bhakyeriri ni kubatifibhwa.
9 Ũtukũ ũmwe Mwathani akĩĩra Paũlũ na kĩoneki atĩrĩ, “Ndũkae gwĩtigĩra; thiĩ na mbere na kũheana ũhoro, na ndũgaakire.
Bwana akan'jobhela Paulo pakilu kwa njela jha maono, “Usitil, lakini longelayi na usigudami.
10 Nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe nawe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgũgũtharĩkĩra agwĩke ũũru, tondũ ndĩ na andũ aingĩ gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ.”
Kwani nene nijhe pamonga nabbi, naajhelepi jhaibetakukudhuru, maana nijhe ni bhanu bhingi katika mjiabho.”
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Paũlũ agĩikara kũu mwaka ũmwe na nuthu, akĩmarutaga kiugo kĩa Ngai.
Paulo atamili okhu kwa muda bhwa mwaka umonga ni miesi sita akajhaimanyisya lilobhi lya K'yara miongoni mwa bhene.
12 Rĩrĩa Galio aarĩ barũthi wa Akaia, Ayahudi makĩnyiitana magĩtharĩkĩra Paũlũ na makĩmũtwara igooti-inĩ.
Lakini Gali bho abhombibhu mtawala bhwa Akaya, Bhayahudi bhakayema pamonga kinyume ni Paulo ni kumpeleka mbele jha kiti kya hukumu,
13 Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ araringĩrĩria andũ kũhooya Ngai na njĩra ĩrĩa ĩreganĩte na watho.”
Bhakajobha, “Munu ojho akabhashawishi bhanu kumwabudu K'yara kinyume kya sheria”
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.
Bhwakati Paulo alondghe kujobha, gailo akabhajobhela Bhayahudi, Muenga Bhayahudi, kama ngalijhe likosa au bhuhalifu, ngajhijhe halali kubhashughulikila.
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.”
Lakini kwandabha ndo maswali ghaghihusu malobhi ni mahina ni sheria sya muenga basi muhukumulayi mwe bhene. Nene ninoghelalepi kujha hakimu kwa habari jha mambo aghu.”
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga marutũrũrwo kuuma igooti-inĩ.
Galio akabhaamuru bhabhokayi mbele jha kiti kya hukumu,
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.
Efyo, bhakan'kamula Sosthene ndongosighwa sinagogi, bhakantobha mbele jha kiti kya hukumu. Lakini Galio ajalilepi kya bhabhombili.
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.
Paulo baada jha kutama pala kwa muda mrefu, akabhaleka ndugu ni kulota kwa meli Siria pamonga ni Prisila ni Akwila. Kabla jha kubhoka pa bandari, akaili njuili sya muene kwani ajhele alapili kujha mnadhiri.
19 Nao maakinya Efeso, Paũlũ agĩtiga Pirisila na Akula kuo. We mwene agĩtoonya thunagogi na akĩaranĩria na Ayahudi.
Bhebhafikili Efeso, Paulo akandeka Prisila ni Akwila pala lakini muene akajhingila mu sinagogi ni kujadili ni Bhayahudi.
20 Nao makĩmũũria aikaranganie nao kuo, nowe akĩrega.
Bhobhan'jobhili Paulo atama nabhu kwa muda mrefu muene abelili.
21 No rĩrĩa oimaga kuo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aakorwo nĩ wendi wa Ngai, nĩndĩrĩcooka.” Nake akĩhaica marikabu akiuma Efeso.
Lakini akabhoka kwa bhene akabhajobhela, “Nibetakukerebhuka kabhele kwa jhomu, ikajhiajhi ndo mapenzi gha K'yara. Baada jhe hapu, akabhoka kwa meli kuhoma Efeso.
22 Rĩrĩa aakinyire Kaisarea, akĩambata agĩthiĩ kũgeithia Kanitha, agĩcooka agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ nginya Antiokia.
Paulo bho atolili Kaisaria, akakuela kulota kujhemelela kanisa lya Antikia.
23 Na thuutha wa Paũlũ gũikaranga kũu Antiokia, akiuma kuo, na agĩthiĩ kũndũ na kũndũ bũrũri wothe wa Galatia na Firigia, akĩũmagĩrĩria arutwo othe.
Baada jha lutama kwa muda mrefu pala, Paulo akabhoka kupetela maeneo gha Galataia ni Frigia ni kubhapela muoyo bhanafunzi bhoha.
24 O ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Mũyahudi wetagwo Apolo, waciarĩirwo Alekisanderia, agĩũka Efeso. Aarĩ mũndũ mũthomu, na aarĩ na ũũgĩ mũingĩ mũno wa Maandĩko.
Myahudi mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Apolo, jhaahogoliki okhu Alexandria, ahidi Efeso. Ajhele ni ufasaha katika kulongela ni hodari ghwa majhandiku.
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.
Apolo ajheajhelekesibhu kumafundisu gha Bwana. Kwa jinsi kyaajhe ni bidiii ku roho, alongili ni kumanyisya kwa usahihi, mamabo ghaaghakan'husu Yesu, ila amanyi tu ubatizo bhwa Yohana.
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.
Apolo akajhanda kulongela kwa ujasiri mu mahekalu. Lakini Prisila ni Akwila bhobhapeliki bhabheki urafiki ni muene ni kunjelekesya juu jha njela sya K'yara kwa usahihi.
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.
Bho anoghila kubhoka kulota Akaya, bhalongomunu bhakampela muoyo nikubhalembela barua bhanafunzi bhabhajhe Akaya ili bhakabhayi kumpokela. Bhoafikilili kwa neema abhasaidili sana bhala bhabhakyeriri.
28 Nĩgũkorwo arĩ na ũhoti mũingĩ, nĩahootire Ayahudi biũ mbere ya andũ othe, akĩonanagia kuuma kũrĩ Maandĩko atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
Kwa ngofu sya muene ni maarifa Apolo abhazidili Bhayahudi hadharani akajhailasya kupetela majhandiku gha kujha Yesu ndo Kristu.
