Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 18
1 Ka nke a mechara, Pọl hapụrụ Atens gaa Kọrint.
After these things, withdrawing from Athens, he came unto Corinth;
2 Nʼebe ahụ o zutere otu onye Juu a mụrụ nʼobodo Pọntọs, onye a na-akpọ Akwila. Ya na nwunye ya Prisila sitere Itali Klọdiọs nyere iwu ka a chụpụ ndị Juu site nʼobodo Rom. Pọl gara hụ ha,
and, finding a certain Jew, by name Aquila, of Pontus by birth, —lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to be leaving Rome, he came unto them,
3 nʼihi na ha na-arụ otu ọrụ, o binyere ha, sokwara ha rụkọọ ọrụ nʼihi na ha bụ ndị na-akpa akwa e ji ama ụlọ ikwu.
and, because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought, for they were tent-makers by their trade.
4 Ụbọchị izuike niile, ọ na-arụ ụka nʼụlọ nzukọ ha na-agbalị ime ka ndị Juu na ndị Griik kwere.
And he began reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading both Jews and Greeks.
5 Mgbe Saịlas na Timoti sitere na Masidonia bịa, Pọl tinyere oge ya niile ikwusa okwu na ịkọwara ndị Juu na Jisọs bụ Kraịst ahụ.
When, however, both Silas and Timothy had come down from Macedonia, Paul began to be urged on in the word, bearing full witness unto the Jews that, Jesus, was, the Christ.
6 Mgbe ọbụla ha megidere ya ma kparịa ya, ọ na-efecha uwe ya, sị ha, “Ọbara unu dị unu nʼisi, aka m dị ọcha. Malite ugbu a, aga m agakwuru ndị mba ọzọ.”
But, as they began opposing and defaming, shaking out his garments, he said unto them—Your blood, be upon your own head! Pure, am, I: henceforth, unto the nations, will I go.
7 O siri nʼebe ahụ pụọ, gaa nʼụlọ otu nwoke a na-akpọ Taịtọs Jọstus, onye na-asọpụrụ na-efekwa Chineke ofufe. Ụlọ ya dị nso nʼụlọ nzukọ ndị Juu.
And, removing from thence, he came into the house of a certain man by name Titius Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was adjoining unto the synagogue.
8 Krispọs onyeisi nʼụlọ nzukọ ahụ na ezinaụlọ ya niile kweere nʼOnyenwe anyị. Ọtụtụ ndị ọzọ bi na Kọrint nụrụ okwu ahụ, kwere, e mee ha baptizim.
But, Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house. And, many of the Corinthians, hearing, were believing, and being immersed.
9 Onyenwe anyị gwara Pọl nʼọhụ nʼotu abalị sị, “Atụla egwu, kwusie okwu ike, emechikwala ọnụ gị.
And the Lord said by night, through means of a vision, unto Paul—Be not afraid! but be speaking, —and do not hold thy peace;
10 Nʼihi na anọnyeere m gị. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla pụrụ imerụ gị ahụ. Enwekwara m ọtụtụ mmadụ nʼime obodo a.”
Inasmuch as, I, am with thee, and, no one, shall set upon thee to harm thee; inasmuch as I have much people in this city.
11 Ọ nọgidere ebe ahụ otu afọ na ọkara. Ọ na-ezikwa ndị mmadụ okwu Chineke.
And he remained a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12 Mgbe Galio malitere ịchị achị nʼobodo Akaịa, ndị Juu bidoro omume ọjọọ megide Pọl. Nʼikpeazụ, ha dupụtara ya, gaa nʼụlọikpe.
But, when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews, with one accord, set upon Paul, and led him unto the judgment-seat,
13 Ha sịrị, “Nwoke a na-amanye ndị mmadụ ka ha na-ekpere Chineke nʼụzọ megidere iwu.”
saying—Contrary to the law, is this one seducing men to be worshipping God.
14 Ma mgbe Pọl chọrọ ikwu okwu, Galio sịrị ndị Juu ahụ, “Agaara m enwe ndidi gee unu ntị ma ọ bụrụ na okwu a gbasara mmejọ mmadụ mejọrọ ibe ya, maọbụ arụ mmadụ mere megide obodo.
But, as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews—If, indeed, it had been some wrong or wicked recklessness, O Jews, with reason, in that case, should I have been bearing with you.
15 Ma ebe unu na-ekwu ihe banyere okwu na aha dị iche iche nakwa iwu unu, gaanụ dozie ya nʼonwe unu. Agaghị m abụ onye ikpe okwu ihe ndị dị otu a.”
If, however, they are questions concerning discourse, and names, and law, that which ye have, ye shall see to it, yourselves; A judge of these things, I, am not disposed to be.
16 O sitere nʼime ụlọ ikpe ya chụpụ ha.
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
17 Ha jidere Sostenis, onye bụ onyeisi ụlọ nzukọ ahụ tie ya ihe nke ukwuu nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ ikpe ahụ. Ma Galio emeghị dịka ọ maara ihe na-eme nʼebe ahụ.
But they all, laying hold of Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, began to strike him before the judgment-seat; and, for none of these things, did Gallio care.
18 Mgbe ọ nọsịrị nʼebe ahụ ọtụtụ ụbọchị, Pọl sịrị ndị kwere ekwe nọ nʼebe ahụ ka ha nọdụnụ nke ọma, ma si nʼebe ahụ banye nʼụgbọ mmiri ruo Siria. Prisila na Akwila sokwaara ya gaa. Nʼobodo a na-akpọ Senkria, ọ kpụchara agịrị isi ya, nʼihi nkwa o kwere.
Paul, however, still further abiding a good many days with the brethren, bidding them adieu, set sail for Syria; and, with him, Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 Mgbe ha rutere Efesọs, ọ hapụrụ ha nʼebe ahụ, ma o bu ụzọ banye nʼụlọ nzukọ ebe ya na ndị Juu nwere mkparịta ụka.
And they came down to Ephesus; and, as for them, he left them there, —but, himself entering into the synagogue, he reasoned with the Jews.
20 Ma mgbe ha rịọrọ ya ka ọ nọnyetụkwuoro ha ogologo oge, ọ kweghị.
And, when they requested him for a longer time to abide, he consented not;
21 Mgbe ọ na-ahapụ, ọ sịrị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na Chineke kwe, aga m alọghachikwute unu ọzọ.” Emesịa ọ banyere nʼụgbọ hapụ Efesọs.
but, bidding them adieu, and saying—Again, will I return unto you, God willing, he sailed away from Ephesus;
22 Mgbe ọ kwụsịrị na Sizaria, ọ gara leta chọọchị dị nʼebe ahụ kelee ha. Emesịa, ọ gara nʼihu ruo Antiọk.
and, putting in at Caesarea, going up and saluting the assembly, went down unto Antioch;
23 Mgbe ọ nọsịrị nwa oge nta nʼebe ahụ, ọ sitere nʼebe ahụ pụọ jegharịa nʼakụkụ obodo Galeshịa na Frigia na-agba ndị na-eso ụzọ ahụ ume.
and, spending some time, he went forth, passing through, in order, the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.
24 Ma otu nwoke onye Juu, aha ya bụ Apọlọs, onye Alegzandria bịara na Efesọs. Ọ bụ onye ọka okwu, bụrụkwa onye maara ihe edere nʼAkwụkwọ Nsọ nke ọma.
But, a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus, being, mighty, in the Scriptures.
25 Nwoke a natara ozizi banyere ụzọ Onyenwe anyị. O sitekwara nʼịnụ ọkụ nke obi kuzie nnọọ ihe ziri ezi banyere Jisọs. Ma ihe ọ maara bụ naanị ihe gbasara baptizim Jọn mere.
The same, had been orally taught the way of the Lord, and, being fervent in his spirit, began speaking and teaching accurately, the things concerning Jesus, —properly knowing, only the immersion of John.
26 Ma ọ nọgidesịrị ike na-ekwuwa okwu nʼụlọ nzukọ. Mgbe Prisila na Akwila nụrụ okwu ya, ha jekwuru ya, duru ya gaa nʼụlọ, were nwayọọ kọwaara ya ihe niile banyere ụzọ Chineke.
The same, also began speaking boldly in the synagogue; and Priscilla and Aquila, hearing him, took him unto them, and, more accurately, expounded unto him the way of God.
27 Mgbe o zubere ịga obodo Akaịa, ndị ụmụnna gbara ya ume. Ha degaara ndị na-eso ụzọ Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe ahụ akwụkwọ ka ha nabata ya. Mgbe ọ bịaruru, Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼaka ya mee ka amara ya baa ụba nʼebe ndị kwere ekwe nọ.
And, he being minded to pass through into Achaia, the brethren urgently wrote unto the disciples to welcome him, —who, arriving, was very useful unto them who had believed, with his gift;
28 Nʼihi na nʼihu ndị mmadụ niile, o guzoro kwuo okwu megide ozizi ọjọọ na ịrụ ụka niile nke ndị Juu. O gosiri ha site nʼakwụkwọ nsọ na Jisọs bụ Kraịst ahụ.
for, with great force, began he confuting the Jews, publicly, shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was, the Christ.
