Matendu 18
1 Pagamaliki ago, Pauli akawuka ku Atene na kuhamba Kolinto.
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 Kolinto kula amkolili Myawudi mmonga liina laki Akula, mkolonjinji wa Ponto. Akula pamonga na mdala waki Plisika, vawuyili magono gagago kuhuma ku Italia ndava chilongosi Kaisali Kilaudio ahamwili Vayawudi voha vawuka ku Loma. Ndi Pauli akahamba kuvalola,
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 na ndava vene vavi vevitengeneza mandanda lihengu ngati laki, ndi Pauli akatama nawu kuhenga.
and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 Kila Ligono la Kupumulila akotanayi nawu munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi alingayi kuvakulukisa Vayawudi na Vagiliki.
He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 Sila na Timoti pavahikili kuhuma Makedonia, hinu lukumbi lwaki lwoha Pauli atumili ndava ya kuvakokosela Vayawudi, kuvya chakaka Yesu ndi Kilisitu Msangula.
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Yeshua was the Messiah.
6 Nambu Vayawudi pavampingayi na kutumbula kumliga, mwene akakung'unda lububu lwa munyula zaki akavajovela, “Mwakayaga kwali mwavene, nene nihokili lepi. Na kutumbula hinu nikuvahambalila vandu vangali Vayawudi.”
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 Kangi Pauli akawuka penapo na kuhamba kutama kunyumba ya mundu mmonga Mgiliki mweakumsadika Chapanga liina laki Tito Yusto nyumba yaki yavili papipi na nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi.
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 Kilisipo chilongosi wa nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi yula, mwene pamonga vandu va nyumba yaki vamsadiki Bambu, Vakolinto vamahele pevayuwini ujumbi wula vakasadika na kubatiziwa.
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were immersed.
9 Ligono limonga kilu, Bambu akamjovela Pauli mumaono, “Ukoto kuyogopa, yendelela kukokosa changali kudenyeka mtima,
The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
10 Muni nene nivii pamonga na veve na kawaka mundu wa kulinga kukulemasa muni pamuji wenuwo vandu vamahele vavi upandi wangu.”
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
11 Hinu Pauli atamili kwenuko mulukumbi lwa mwaka umonga na upinga kuni iwula vandu Lilovi la Chapanga.
He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Nambu lukumbi Galio peavi chilongosi wa Akaya, ndi Vayawudi vakamzangila Pauli kwa pamonga na kumpeleka kulibanji la mihalu.
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 Vakajova “Timtakila mundu uyu ndava akuvakulukisa vandu vamuyupa Chapanga munjila yeyiyidakilana lepi na malagizu.”
saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
14 Pauli akona kuyangula, Galio akavajovela Vayawudi, “Myuwanila Vayawudi nyenye! Ngati kuvya chakaka lijambu lenili ngalavi la unyagaji amala uhakau nga nivayuwanili.
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 Nambu ngati ndava ya muhutanu wa malovi na mahina na mhilu winu, muhamula nyenye mwavene. Nene niganili lepi kuvya mhamula wa lijambu ili!”
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 Ndi akavavinga kuhuma mu libanji la mihalu.
He drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Hinu vene vakamkamula Sostene chilongosi wa nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, vakamtova balapala palongolo ya libanji la mihalu. Nambu Galio nakutangatila nawu hati padebe.
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 Pauli akayendelela kutama na valongo va ku Kolinto kwa magono gamahele. Kangi akavalaga akayingila muwatu kuhamba ku Silia pamonga na Plisika na Akula. Kenkelea kwenuko aketili mayunju gaki ndava amali kutimilisa chilapu chaki kwa Chapanga.
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 Pavahikili ku Efeso ndi Pauli akavaleka Plisika na Akula, akahamba munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, akakotana na Vayawudi.
They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Vamuyipili atama nawu palukumbi lutali, nambu nakuvayidakila.
When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
21 Nambu akalagana nawu peawukayi, akavajovela, “Ngati Chapanga aganili yati nibwela kavili.” Akawuka ku Efeso muwatu.
but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Peahulwiki Kaisalia, Pauli akahamba pa Yelusalemu na kuvajambusa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu. Kangi akahamba ku Antiokia.
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the congregation, and went down to Antioch.
23 Ndi akatama kwenuko mu magono gadebe akayendelela na lugendu kupitila miji ya Galatia na Flugia avakangamalisa vamsadika voha.
Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the talmidim.
24 Magono gagago Myawudi mmonga liina laki Apolo mkolonjinji wa Alekisanda, ndi abwelili ku Efeso. Avi na luhala lwa kulongela na mweimanya bwina Mayandiku Gamsopi.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 Mundu mwenuyo awuliwi njila ya Bambu, kuni mtima waki uvi heyuheyu akatumbula kudandaula na kuwula uchakaka malovi ga Yesu, nambu mwene amanyili nga ubatizu wa Yohani.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Yeshua, although he knew only the immersion of John.
26 Mwene akatumbula kulongela kwa ukekesi munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi, hinu Plisika na Akula pavamuyuwini vakamtola kuhamba nayu kunyumba yavi na kumuwula Njila ya Chapanga kwa uchakaka neju.
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 peaganili kuhamba ku Akaya, vamsadika va ku Efeso vakamkangamalisa mtima na kuvayandikila vamsadika vala vampokelayi. Peahikili kwenuko avatangatili neju vandu vevasadika vala kwa makakala ga ubwina wa Bambu.
When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the talmidim to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
28 Ndi ayendalili kwa ukekesi kujovesana na kuvashinda Vayawudi pavandu ijova hotohoto mu Mayandiku Gamsopi kuvya Yesu ndi Kilisitu Msangula.
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Yeshua was the Messiah.
