1 Gakapiteje genego, a Pauli gubhajabhwile ku Atene gubhapite ku Kolinto.
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 Kweneko gubhaimenenje na Bhayaudi bhamo lina lyabho a Akula, bhashilambo bha ku Ponto. A Akila na akongobhabho a Pilishika, bhashinkuiakangana mobha gogo kukopoka ku Italia, pabha a Kaishali Kilaudio bhashinkuamulisha Bhayaudi bhowe bhajabhulangane ku Lumi, a Pauli gubhapite kwaalolanga,
He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
3 pabha nabhalabhonji pubhalinginji mapundi bha totanga maema malinga bhalabho, a Pauli gubhatemi nabhonji nikamula liengo pamo.
and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 Kila Lyubha lya Pumulila bhatendaga tenda nkungulu nshinagogi, bhalilinga kwaajuganga Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki.
He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 A Shila na a Timoteo bhakaikanganeje kukopoka ku Makedonia, a Pauli gubhapundile kulunguya lilobhe lya a Nnungu, bhalikong'ondela ku Bhayaudi kuti a Yeshu ni a Kilishitu.
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 Bhakaataukanjeje na kwaatukananga, gubhakung'winde nngubho yabho bhalinkuti, “Nng'obhangaga mwigambanje mwashaayene, nne nangali sha gambwa ga jene nganiji. Na kutandubhila nnaino shinyende kubhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi.”
When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people."
7 Bhai, gubhajabhwile gubhapite tama pamui pakamumdu jumo Mgiliki abhajogopaga a Nnungu lina lyakwe Tito Yushitushi, nyumba jakwe pujaliji mpika na shinagogi.
He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Na a Kilishipashi pubhaaliji bhakulungwa bha shinagogi gubhaakulupalile a Nnungu bhenebho na bhandunji bhowe bha likaja lyabho. Bhakolinto bhabhagwinji bhakapilikananjeje gwene ntengago, gubhakulupalilenje na gubhabhatishwenje.
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9 Lyubha limo shilo, Bhakulungwa gubhaalugulile a Pauli nng'agamii. “Unajogope, upunde kulunguya unapumule,
The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
10 pabha nne namwene puni na ugwe. Jwakwa mundu shakupoteshe pabha pashilambo pano njikola bhandunji bhabhagwinji.”
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
11 Bhai, a Pauli gubhatemi kweneko shaka shimo na myei shita bhalijiganya lilobhe lya a Nnungu.
He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Ikabheje a Galio bhakabheje bhakulungwa bha shilambo sha Akaya, Bhayaudi gubhaakamwilenje a Pauli gubhaapelekenje ku bhaukumula.
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 Gubhashitenje, “Tunakunnugula aju munduju ligongo lya kwakwiyanga bhandu bhaatindibhalilanje a Nnungu shamunape kuleka Shalia jetu.”
saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
14 A Pauli bhakanabhe tandubha kubheleketa, a Galio gubhaalugulilenje Bhayaudi, “Mpilikananje Mmayaudi mmwe! Jene nganiji jikaaliji ja shilebho eu ja indu yangali ya mmbone ngampilikanishiyenje.
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
15 Ibhaga ngani ja taukangana ga malobhe na mena na shalia jenunji, genego nnolanje mwaashayenenji. Nne ngapinga kubha nankuukumula jwa genego!”
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."
16 Bhai, gubhaabhinjilenje pa lukumbi pala.
He drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Na bhowenji gubhaakamwilenje a Shoshiteneshi bhaliji bhakulungwa bha shinagogi, gubhaakomilenje pa lukumbi lwa ukumulila pala. Ikabheje a Galio bhangaimuka genego wala kashoko.
Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.
18 A Pauli gubhatemi ku Kolinto na bhakilishitu bhala kwa mobha gamagwinji. Kungai gubhaalajilenje gubhakwelile meli kwenda ku Shilia gubhalongene na a Pilishika na a Akula. Ku Kenkelea, a Pauli gubhamojile umbo yabho pabha bhashinkutabha nalili.
Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 Gubhaikengenenje ku Epesho na penepo a Pauli gubhaaleshilenje penepo a Pilishika na a Akila, gubhapite nshinagogi, gubhakungulwishe na Bhayaudi.
They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Bhayaudi gubhaajujilenje a Pauli bhatame mobha gamagwinji, ikabheje bhangakunda.
When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
21 Ikabhe gubhaalajilenje, bhalinkuti, “A Nnungu bhapingaga shinyiye kabhili.” Gubhakwelile meli kwenda ku Epesho.
but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Meli jikajimeje ku Kaishalia, a Pauli gubhajomboshele ku Yelushalemu kukwaalamushilanga bhandunji bha a Nnungu, kungai gubhapite ku Antiokia.
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
23 Gubhatemi kweneko mobha gashoko gubhajabhwile, gubhapitile pakati shilambo sha ku Galatia na ku Piligia bhalipita kwaashimilikanga bhakilishitu.
Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Gene mobha pego ashinkupagwa Nnyaudi jumo lina lyakwe Apolo, jwa bhelekwa ku Alekishandilia, gwaishe ku Epesho. Paaliji mundu jwa manya kubheleketa na ashinkukola lunda lwa kugamanya Majandiko ga Ukonjelo.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 Ashinkujiganywa ga mpanda gwa Bhakulungwa na ashinkukola lilaka muntima gwakwe, gwatandwibhe kutalashiya na kujiganya ukoto ngani ja a Yeshu, akuno alikumumanya ga ubhatisho gwa a Yowanape.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 A Pilishika na a Akula bhakampilikananjeje alibheleketa gwangali bhoga nshinagogi, gubhantolilenje kunngwabhonji nigubhannjigenyenje ukoto ga mpanda gwa a Nnungu.
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Apolo akatumbilileje kwenda ku Akaya, bhakilishitu gubhantajilenje ntima kwa kwaajandishilanga bhakilishitu bha ku Akaya kula bhamposhelanje. Akaisheje kweneko, kwa mboka ja a Nungu gwakombwele kwaajangutilanga bhakulupalilenje bhala,
When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
28 pabha ashinkupunda kubheleketa kwa manyilila mpaka Bhayaudi nilepela kuntauka pa lugwinjili alikong'ondela kwa Majandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti a Yeshu ni a Kilishitu.
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah.
