Ebikolwa by’Abatume 18
1 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Pawulo n’asitula okuva mu Asene n’alaga mu Kkolinso.
After these things, he went away from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 Eyo gye yasisinkana omusajja Omuyudaaya erinnya lye Akula, eyazaalibwa mu Ponto, nga yaakava mu ltaliya ne mukazi we Pulisikira, kubanga Kulawudiyo yali awadde ekiragiro okugoba Abayudaaya bonna mu Ruumi.
And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them;
3 Olw’okuba nga baali bakola omulimu gwe gumu ogw’okukola weema, n’abeeranga nabo, era n’akolanga nabo.
And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers.
4 Buli lwa Ssabbiiti Pawulo yabeeranga mu kkuŋŋaaniro ng’amatiza Abayudaaya n’Abayonaani.
And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith.
5 Era Siira ne Timoseewo bwe baatuuka nga bava mu Makedoniya, Pawulo n’awaayo ekiseera kye kyonna mu kubuulira Ekigambo n’okukakasa Abayudaaya nti Yesu ye Kristo.
And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
6 Naye Abayudaaya bwe baatandika okumuwakanya, era n’okuvvoola erinnya lya Yesu, n’akunkumula ebyambalo bye, n’abagamba nti, “Omusaayi gwammwe gubeere ku mitwe gyammwe! Nze ndi mulongoofu. Okuva kaakano nnaagendanga eri Abaamawanga.”
And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles.
7 Awo Pawulo n’ava eyo n’alaga mu nnyumba ya Tito Yusito, eyasinzanga Katonda, ng’amaka ge galiraanye n’ekkuŋŋaaniro.
And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue.
8 Kulisupo, eyali omukulu w’ekkuŋŋaaniro, n’ennyumba ye yonna, ne bakkiriza Mukama waffe, n’abalala bangi ku Bakkolinso abaawulira ne bakkiriza era ne babatizibwa.
And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism.
9 Awo ekiro kimu Mukama n’ayogera ne Pawulo mu kwolesebwa, n’amugamba nti, “Totya! Weeyongere okubuulira, so tosirika!
And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching:
10 Kubanga ndi wamu naawe, tewali ayinza kukulumba n’akukola kabi. Era mu kibuga muno mulimu abantu bange bangi.”
For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town.
11 Bw’atyo Pawulo n’abeerayo ebbanga lya mwaka mulamba n’ekitundu ng’ayigiriza ekigambo kya Katonda.
And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Naye Galiyo bwe yalya obwagavana bwa Akaya, Abayudaaya ne beegatta wamu ne balumba Pawulo, ne bamukwata ne bamutwala mu mbuga z’amateeka ewa gavana okumusalira omusango.
But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat,
13 Ne bamuwawaabira nti, “Omusajja ono asendasenda abantu okusinza Katonda mu ngeri etakkirizibwa mu mateeka.”
Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law.
14 Naye Pawulo bwe yali ng’atandika okuwoza, Galiyo n’akyukira Abayudaaya abaawaaba n’abagamba nti, “Muwulire, mmwe Abayudaaya. Singa omusango guno gubadde gumenya mateeka, nandibadde nteekwa okubawuliriza.
But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing:
15 Naye ensonga zammwe nga bwe zifa ku nkozesa y’ebigambo n’amannya, era nga zikwata ku mateeka gammwe, kirungi mmwe muzeemalire. Nze saagala kusala musango gw’ebyo.”
But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.
16 Bw’atyo n’abagoba mu mbuga z’amateeka.
And he sent them away from the judge's seat.
17 Awo bonna ne bakyukira Sossene, eyali omukulembeze omuggya ow’ekkuŋŋaaniro, ne bamukwata, ne bamukubira awo mu maaso g’embuga z’amateeka. Kyokka Galiyo teyabafaako.
And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things.
18 Pawulo n’amala mu kibuga omwo ennaku eziwerako, oluvannyuma n’asiibula abooluganda n’asaabala ku nnyanja n’agenda e Siriya, ng’atutte Pulisikira ne Akula. Naye yali tannasaabala, enviiri ze ne bazisalirako e Kenkereya olw’obweyamo bwe yali akoze.
And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.
19 Bwe baatuuka mu Efeso, banne n’abaleka awo n’agenda n’akubaganya ebirowoozo n’Abayudaaya mu kkuŋŋaaniro.
And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.
20 Ne bamusaba abeere nabo ennaku eziwerako, naye n’atakkiriza.
And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No;
21 N’abagamba nti, “Nsaana okugenda ndyoke nsobole okubaawo ku mbaga ejja mu Yerusaalemi.” Kyokka n’abasuubiza nti agenda kukomawo mu Efeso nga Katonda amukkirizza. Bw’atyo n’asaabala ku nnyanja okuva mu Efeso.
And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.
22 Pawulo bwe yagoba mu Kayisaliya, n’akyalira Ekkanisa n’oluvannyuma n’aserengeta mu Antiyokiya.
And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch.
23 Eyo n’amalayo ekiseera, n’asitula n’atambula n’ayitaayita mu bibuga ebiri mu bitundu bya Ggalatiya ne Fulugiya, ng’akyalira abayigirizwa bonna ng’abanyweza mu kukkiriza.
And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith.
24 Waaliwo Omuyudaaya erinnya lye Apolo, nga yazaalibwa mu Alegezanderiya eky’omu Misiri, n’atuuka mu Efeso. Yali musajja muyigirize nnyo, era ng’amanyi nnyo Ebyawandiikibwa.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings.
25 Yali ayigirizibbwa Ekkubo lya Mukama, nga w’amaanyi mu mwoyo, era yayogeranga n’ayigiriza bulungi byonna ebifa ku Yesu, wabula ng’amanyi kubatizibwa kwa Yokaana kwokka.
This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism:
26 N’atandika okubuulira n’obuvumu mu kkuŋŋaaniro. Awo Pulisikira ne Akula bwe baamuwulira, ne bamuyita mu maka gaabwe ne bamunnyonnyola bingi eby’Ekkubo lya Katonda.
And he was preaching in the Synagogue without fear. But Priscilla and Aquila, hearing his words, took him in, and gave him fuller teaching about the way of God.
27 Awo Apolo n’ayagala okuwunguka agende mu Akaya mu Buyonaani, n’abooluganda ne bamuwagira nnyo mu kirowoozo ekyo. Ne bawandiikira bannaabwe abakkiriza mu Buyonaani bamwanirize n’essanyu. Era bwe yatuuka mu Buyonaani, Katonda n’amukozesa nnyo mu kunyweza Ekkanisa,
And when he had a desire to go over into Achaia, the brothers gave him help, and sent letters to the disciples requesting them to take him in among them: and when he had come, he gave much help to those who had faith through grace:
28 kubanga yasambajja n’amaanyi mangi ensonga Abayudaaya ze baaleetanga nga bawakanya Enjiri mu bantu, n’asinziiranga mu Byawandiikibwa okulaga nti ddala Yesu ye Kristo.
For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus.
