Matendo ya Mitume 18
1 Baada jha mambo agha, Paulo akabhoka Athene kulota Korintho.
Now after these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 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;
And encountering a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome), he joined them;
3 Paulo aishili ni kubhomba mbombo nabhu kwani muene ibhomba mbombo jhajhiwaningana nijha bhene. Bhene bhajhele bhatengenesya mahema.
and because he practiced the same trade, he stayed on with them and worked (their trade was tentmaker).
4 Paulo ajadiliene nabhu mu sinagogi kila ligono lya sabato. Abhashawishili bhayahudi pamonga ni Bhagiriki.
Every Sabbath in the synagogue he would reason with both Jews and Greeks, trying to persuade them.
5 Lakini Sila ni Timotheo bhobhahidili kuhoma Makedonia, Paulo asukumibhu ni Roho kubhashuhudila bhayahudi kujha Yesu ndo Kristu.
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the Spirit, solemnly insisting to the Jews: Jesus is the Christ.
6 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.”
But since they kept contradicting and blaspheming, he shook his clothes and said to them: “Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 Efyo akabhoka kuhoma pala akalola kunyumba jha TitoYusto, munu jheakamwabudu K'yara. Nyumba jha muene jhihele karibu ni sinagogi.
So he moved from there into the house of a man named Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Kripo, ndongo si ghwa sinagogi pamonga ni bhanu bha panyumba jha muene bhamwamini Bwana. Bhanu bhingi Bhakorintho bho bhampeliki Paulo ilongela bhakyeriri ni kubatifibhwa.
Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household; and as they were hearing, many of the Corinthians were believing and being baptized.
9 Bwana akan'jobhela Paulo pakilu kwa njela jha maono, “Usitil, lakini longelayi na usigudami.
Now the Lord said to Paul by a vision at night: “Do not be afraid; rather speak and do not keep silent,
10 Kwani nene nijhe pamonga nabbi, naajhelepi jhaibetakukudhuru, maana nijhe ni bhanu bhingi katika mjiabho.”
because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because I have many people in this city.”
11 Paulo atamili okhu kwa muda bhwa mwaka umonga ni miesi sita akajhaimanyisya lilobhi lya K'yara miongoni mwa bhene.
So he stayed on for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
12 Lakini Gali bho abhombibhu mtawala bhwa Akaya, Bhayahudi bhakayema pamonga kinyume ni Paulo ni kumpeleka mbele jha kiti kya hukumu,
Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,
13 Bhakajobha, “Munu ojho akabhashawishi bhanu kumwabudu K'yara kinyume kya sheria”
saying, “This fellow persuades the people to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 Bhwakati Paulo alondghe kujobha, gailo akabhajobhela Bhayahudi, Muenga Bhayahudi, kama ngalijhe likosa au bhuhalifu, ngajhijhe halali kubhashughulikila.
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If there really was some misdeed or wicked crime, O Jews, there would be reason for me to bear with you;
15 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.”
but since it is an issue over a word and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; because I refuse to be a judge of such matters.”
16 Galio akabhaamuru bhabhokayi mbele jha kiti kya hukumu,
And he drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Efyo, bhakan'kamula Sosthene ndongosighwa sinagogi, bhakantobha mbele jha kiti kya hukumu. Lakini Galio ajalilepi kya bhabhombili.
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was a delay to Gallio.
18 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.
Paul still remained there a good while, then took leave of the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila (he had shaved his head in Cenchrea, because he had a vow).
19 Bhebhafikili Efeso, Paulo akandeka Prisila ni Akwila pala lakini muene akajhingila mu sinagogi ni kujadili ni Bhayahudi.
He came to Ephesus and left them there (after having entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews).
20 Bhobhan'jobhili Paulo atama nabhu kwa muda mrefu muene abelili.
When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent;
21 Lakini akabhoka kwa bhene akabhajobhela, “Nibetakukerebhuka kabhele kwa jhomu, ikajhiajhi ndo mapenzi gha K'yara. Baada jhe hapu, akabhoka kwa meli kuhoma Efeso.
rather he took leave of them saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Paulo bho atolili Kaisaria, akakuela kulota kujhemelela kanisa lya Antikia.
When he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church [in Jerusalem], he returned to Antioch.
23 Baada jha lutama kwa muda mrefu pala, Paulo akabhoka kupetela maeneo gha Galataia ni Frigia ni kubhapela muoyo bhanafunzi bhoha.
After spending some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Myahudi mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Apolo, jhaahogoliki okhu Alexandria, ahidi Efeso. Ajhele ni ufasaha katika kulongela ni hodari ghwa majhandiku.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, mighty in the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus.
25 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.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 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.
So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Bho anoghila kubhoka kulota Akaya, bhalongomunu bhakampela muoyo nikubhalembela barua bhanafunzi bhabhajhe Akaya ili bhakabhayi kumpokela. Bhoafikilili kwa neema abhasaidili sana bhala bhabhakyeriri.
When he decided to go across into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to receive him; upon arriving he was a great help to those who had believed through the Grace;
28 Kwa ngofu sya muene ni maarifa Apolo abhazidili Bhayahudi hadharani akajhailasya kupetela majhandiku gha kujha Yesu ndo Kristu.
because he kept refuting the Jews vigorously, publicly, demonstrating Jesus to be the Christ, from the Scriptures.
