Imisebenzi 18
1 Emva kwalezizinto uPawuli wasuka eAtene weza eKorinte.
Masigi matungda Paul-na Athens thadoklaga Corinth-ta chatlammi.
2 Wasefica umJuda othile uAkwila ngebizo, owePontusi ngokuzalwa, owayesanda ukufika evela eIthaliya, loPrisila umkakhe (ngenxa yokulaya kukaKlawudiyosi kokuthi wonke amaJuda kawasuke eRoma), waya kubo;
Pontus-ta pokpa Aquila kouba Jihudi nupa ama mahakna thengnarammi. Ningthourel Claudius-na Jihudi pumnamak Rome thadoktuna chatnaba yathang pibagi maramna mahak amadi mahakki nupi Priscilla-ga loinana Italy-dagi ikui kuidana mapham aduda lakpani. Paul-na makhoibu unaba chatlammi.
3 njalo ngoba babelomsebenzi ofananayo, wahlala kubo wasebenza; ngoba babengabenzi bamathente ngomsebenzi.
Makhoiga sinpham manaba maramna mahakna makhoiga leiminnaduna thabak suminnarammi. Makhoigi sinphamdi phiyum sabani.
4 Wasekhulumisana labo esinagogeni amasabatha wonke, wancenga amaJuda lamaGriki.
Potthaba numit khudinggi mahakna synagogue-ta chattuna khanna neinarammi aduga Jihudising amadi Greek-ki misingbu thajahannaba hotnarammi.
5 Kwathi uSilasi loTimothi sebehlile bevela eMakedoniya, uPawuli wacindezelwa nguMoya, efakaza kumaJuda ukuthi uJesu unguKristu.
Silas amadi Timothy-na Macedonia-dagi thunglarabada, Paul-na mahakki matam pumnamak pao sandokpada pirammi, mahakna Jisudi Christta aduni haiduna Jihudisingda sakhi pirammi.
6 Kwathi emelana laye ehlambaza, wathintitha izembatho, wathi kuwo: Igazi lenu kalibe phezu kwekhanda lenu; mina ngimsulwa; kusukela khathesi ngizakuya kwabezizwe.
Adubu makhoina mahakki maiyokta leptuna ikaiba piraklabada mahakna mahakki maphi kanthoktuna makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoigi ee nasagi kokthakta tasanu! Eigidi iran leitre. Houjiktagi houna eihak Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggi maphamda chatlagani.”
7 Wasesuka lapho waya endlini yomunye obizo lakhe nguJustusi, okhonza uNkulunkulu, ondlu yakhe yayiseduze lesinagoge.
Maram aduna mahakna makhoibu thadoklamlaga Jihudi phurupki mi nattaba Titius Justus kouba Tengban Mapu ningba nupa adugi yumda leinaba chatlammi. Mahakki yum adu synagogue-ka thangnana leirammi.
8 Kodwa uKrispusi umphathi wesinagoge wakholwa eNkosini lendlu yakhe yonke; labanengi kwabeKorinte balalela bakholwa babhabhathizwa.
Synagogue adugi luchingba Crispus amadi mahakki imung manung pumnamak Mapu Ibungobu thajarammi. Aduga Corinth-ki mi mayam amanasu Paul-na sandokpa adu tabadagi thajaduna baptize lourammi.
9 INkosi yasisithi kuPawuli ebusuku ngombono: Ungesabi, kodwa khuluma njalo ungathuli;
Nongma ahing amada uhanbiba amada Mapu Ibungona Paul-da hairammi: “Kiganu, haiba lepkanu, tuminna leiganu,
10 ngoba mina ngilawe, njalo kakho ozakuhlasela ukukwenzela okubi; ngoba ngilabantu abanengi kulumuzi.
Maramdi eina nahakka loinari. Aduga mi kana amatana nangbu sok palhanba ngamloi, maramdi sahar asida eigi mi yamna lei.”
11 Njalo wahlala umnyaka lenyanga eziyisithupha, efundisa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu phakathi kwabo.
Maram aduna Paul-na mapham aduda chahi amaga makhai leiduna misingda Tengban Mapugi wa tambirammi.
12 Kwathi uGaliyo engumbusi weAkaya, amaJuda amvukela uPawuli nganhliziyonye, amusa phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela,
Gallio-na Achaia-gi leingak mapu oiringeida Jihudisingna makhoi amata oina pullaga Paul-bu phaduna wayel sangda puraklammi.
13 esithi: Lo uncenga abantu ukuthi bakhonze uNkulunkulu ngokuphambene lomlayo.
Maduda makhoina hairak-i. “Eikhoigi wayel yathanggi onna teinabada Tengban Mapubu khurumgadabani haina nupa asina misingbu themmi.”
14 Kodwa kwathi uPawuli esezavula umlomo, uGaliyo wathi kumaJuda: Ngakho uba bekulento engalunganga kumbe inkohliso embi, maJuda, ngesizatho bengizalibekezelela;
Paul-na wa ngangge hek toubaga Gallio-na Jihudisingda hairak-i, “Masi karigumba aranba nattraga yamna phattaba thabak tourambagi oiramlabadi nakhoina hairiba adu eina tabagi maram charamgadabani.
15 kodwa uba kuyikuphikisana ngelizwi lamabizo, lomlayo phakathi kwenu, ziboneleni lina; ngoba mina kangithandi ukuba ngumahluleli walezizinto.
Adubu masi waheigi amasung ming amadi nakhoi Jihudisinggi wayel yathanggi maramda yetnaba oibanina nakhoi nasel yanaba punajarak-u. Asigumba hiramsing asigi wayenba ei oiroi.”
16 Wasewaxotsha esihlalweni sokwahlulela.
Adudagi mahakna makhoibu wayel sangdagi tanthokkhre.
17 Wonke amaGriki asebamba uSostenesi umphathi wesinagoge, amtshaya phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela. Njalo uGaliyo kaze azinanza lezizinto.
Adudagi makhoi pumnamakna synagogue-ki luchingba Sosthenes-pu pharaga wayel sang adugi mamangda phurammi. Adubu Gallio-na maduda karisu thousaramde.
18 Kwathi uPawuli esahlezi insuku ezinengi, wavalelisa abazalwane, wasuka ngomkhumbi waya eSiriya, loPrisila loAkwila kanye laye, esephuce ikhanda eKenikreya, ngoba wayelesifungo.
Matam khara Paul-na thajabasingga loinana Corinth-ta leirammi adudagi mahakna Priscilla amadi Aquila-ga loinana Syria-da hi tongduna chatlammi. Mahakna hi tongduna Cenchreae thadoktringeida mahakna sakkhiba wasak amagidamak mahakki maru kokthoklammi.
19 Sebefikile eEfesu, wasebatshiya khona; kodwa yena engena esinagogeni wakhulumisana lamaJuda.
Makhoina Ephesus-ta thunglabada mapham aduda Paul-na Priscilla amadi Aquila thanamlaga mahakna synagogue-ta changduna Jihudisingga khanna neinarammi.
20 Sebemcelile ukuthi ahlale isikhathi esidanyana labo, kavumanga;
Mising aduna mahakpu makhoiga matam kharaga makha tana leithabinaba haijarammi adubu mahakna yaramde.
21 kodwa wabavalelisa esithi: Kufanele isibili ukuthi ngigcine eJerusalema umkhosi ozayo; kodwa ngizabuyela kini njalo, uba uNkulunkulu evuma. Wasuka eEfesu ngomkhumbi,
Adubu mahakna chatlamdaida makhoida hai, “Tengban Mapugi aningba oirabadi ei nakhoigi nanakta amuk lakkani.” Adudagi mahakna Ephesus-tagi hi tongduna chatkhre.
22 njalo esefikile eKesariya, wenyuka wabingelela ibandla; wehlela eAntiyoki.
Mahakna Caesarea-da thunglabada mahakna Jerusalem-da chattuna singluppu unaruraga Antioch-ta chatlammi.
23 Njalo esechithe isikhathi esithile, wasuka, wadabula ngokulandelana ilizwe leGalathiya leFrigiya, eqinisa bonke abafundi.
Mapham aduda matam khara leiramlaga mahakna Galatia amadi Phrygia-gi lamsingda mathang mathang chattuna thajaba pumnamakpu panggal kankhat-hanbirammi.
24 Njalo umJuda othile, uApolosi ngebizo, umAleksandriya ngokuzalwa, eyindoda eyisikhulumi, wafika eEfesu, elamandla emibhalweni.
Matam aduda Alexandria-da pokpa Apollos kouba Jihudi nupa ama Ephesus-ta laklammi. Mahak wa ngangba heiba amadi Mapugi puyabu ningthina khangba nupa ama oirammi.
25 Lo wayefundisiwe indlela yeNkosi, njalo evutha emoyeni wakhuluma wafundisa ngokukhuthala izinto ezimayelana leNkosi, esazi ubhabhathizo lukaJohane kuphela;
Mahak Mapu Ibungogi lambigi maramda tambiraklaba amani aduga mahakna misingda thawai yaona amadi chumna Jisugi maramda nganglammi amadi tambirammi. Adubu mahak John-na baptize touba aduta khanglammi.
26 lo waseqala ukukhuluma ngesibindi esinagogeni. Kwathi sebemzwile uPrisila loAkwila, bamthathela kubo, bamchasisela indlela kaNkulunkulu ngokuqonda okukhulu.
Synagogue-ta mahakna thouna phana ngangba hourammi. Mahakna ngangba adu Priscilla amadi Aquila-na tarabada mahakpu makhoigi yumda purammi aduga makhoina mangonda Tengban Mapugi Lambi adugi maramda henna chumna sandokna takpirammi.
27 Kwathi esethanda ukuchaphela eAkaya, abazalwane bemkhuthaza babhalela abafundi ukuthi bamemukele; okwathi esefikile wabasiza kakhulu abakholwa ngomusa;
Adudagi Apollos-na Achaia-da chatnaba leplammi, maram aduna mahakpu mateng pangba oina Ephesus-ta leiba thajabasing aduna Achaia-da leiba thajabasingda mahakpu taramna okpinaba irammi. Mahakna mapham aduda thungbada Tengban Mapugi thoujalgi mapanna thajakhraba makhoising aduda mahak yamna mateng oirammi.
28 ngoba waphikisa ngamandla wawehlula ngokupheleleyo obala amaJuda, etshengisa ngemibhalo ukuthi uKristu unguJesu.
Maramdi miyam mamangda yetnabada Jisudi Christtani haina mahakna Mapugi puyadagi uttuna Jihudisingbu maithiba pirammi.
