Imbombo 18
1 Ye sikilile imbombo isio, u Pqulo alyavukile ku Athene kuluta ku Korintho.
After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 Ukuo akamwaghile umuYahudi juno itambulivu Akwila umunhu ghwa likabula lya Ponto, umwene nu ndala ghwamwene juno itambulivua Prisila valisile kuhuma ukuo ku Italia, u lwakuva ukilaudia alyalaghile ava Yahudi vooni vabuuke ku Roma;
There he found a 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 leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
3 U Paulo alikalile nakuvomba imbombo navene ulwakuva umwene ivomba imbombo jino jiling'ana ni jivanave. Avvene valyale vinosya ifivighili.
and he stayed and worked with them because they were tentmakers by trade, just as he was.
4 U Paulo akapuling'ana navene munyumba ijakufunyila mufighono fyooni ifya sabati. Alyavavulile ava Yahudi palikimo nava Giriki.
Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
5 Looli usauli nu Timotheo yevisile kuhuma ku Makidonia, u Paulo alyasung'ilue nu Mhepo kukuvolela ava Yahudi kuuti u Yesu ghwe Kilisite.
And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6 Unsiki ghuno valyan'kanile name kukunsyojola, pe u Paulo akakung'unile umwenda ghwa mwene pavulongolo pavanave, na kukuvavula, “Idanda jinu jive vwimila vwa matue ghiinu jumuie; Une nisila makole. Kuhumalino na kughendelela, nikuvalutila avapanji”.
But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 Pe akavuka kuhuma pala akaluta kunyumba ja Tito Yusto, umunhu juno ikunsuma u Nguluve. Inyumba jamwene jilipipi ni nyumba ja kufunyila.
So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
8 U Krispo, mulongosi ghwa nyumba ja kufunyila palikimo na vanhu avamunyumba ja mwene vakamwitika u Mutwa. Avanhu vinga kuhumakuhuma ku Koritho ye vapulike u Paulo ijova valitike nana kukwofghua.
Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.
9 U Nguluve akam'bula u Paulo pakilo kusila ijambonekelo, “Nungoghopaghe, looli jovagha nungajikaghe Kimmie.
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.
10 Ulwakuva une nilipalikimo nuve, nakuale juno kumwa ighela kukunangania, ulwakuva nili navanhu vinga mulikaja ili”.
For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”
11 U Paulo akikalile ukuo ku Niki ugwa mwaka ghumo na Messi n'tanda ye ivulanisia ilisio ilya Nguluve muvanave.
So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.
12 Looli u Galio akavombilue kuva n'temi ughwa ku Akaya, ava Yahudi vakima palikimo nhu Paulo na pikun'twala pavulongolo pakitengo ikya vuhighi,
While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
13 vakaati, “Umunhu uju ikuvahonga avanhu vifunyaghe kwa Nguluve kisila vutavike vwa ndaghhilo”.
“This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
14 Unsiki ghuno u Paulo ye ilonda kujova, u Galio akavavula ava Yahudi, “Umue mwe vayahudi, ndavule ilikosa au uvunangifi, jalejiva kyang'ani kuvavombela.
But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
15 Looli ulwakuva ye maswali, ghano ghiling'ana na mansion namatavua kange ni ndaghilo sinu, kange muhighanaghe jumue mwevene. Une naninoghuananinoghua kuuti nive muhighi ghwa aghuo.”
But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
16 U Galio akavavula vavubuke pavulongolo pa kitengo ikyavuhighi,
And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
17 Mu uluo, vakan'kola u Sosthene, umulongosi ughwa nyumba ija kufunyila, vakan'tova pavulongolo pa kitengo ikyavuhighi. Looli ugalio nakoghwipe kino valya vombile.
At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
18 U Paulo, ye ikalile pala unsiki n'tali, akavaleka avanyalukolo pe akaluta ni Melissa ku Siria palikimo nu Prisila nu Akwila. Ye vakyale kuvuka ku bandali, alyaketile ilinyele lya mwene ulwakuva alijighile kuuti m'pesie.
Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
19 Ye vafikile ku Efeso, u Paulo alyamulekale u Prisila nu Akwila Pala, looli jujuo mwene akingila munyumba ijakufunyila nakupuling'ana na va Yahudi
When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Ye vam'bulile u Paulo ikale navene unsiki un'tali, umwene akakanile.
When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
21 Looli akavuka kuvanave, akavavula, “Nigomoka kange kulyumue, ulwakuuva vwevughane vwa Nguluve”. Apuo, akabuka ni Meli kuhuma ku Efeso.
But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.
22 U Paulo ye imile ku Kaisaria, akatogha kuluta kuhungila inyumba imbaha inyimike ija kufunyila ija ku Yerusalemu, kange akika paasi panyumba imbaha inyimike ija ku Antiokia.
When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.
23 Ye ikalile munsiki Pala, u Paulo alyabukile kukila ku fisala ifya Galatia na ku Frigia nakuvakangasia inumbula ava vulanisivua vooni.
After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Umu Yahudi jumo juno itambulivua Apolo, juno alyaholilue ukuo ku Alexandria, Akisa ku Efeso. alyale mfwihu kujova ni ngufu muvulembe.
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.
25 U Apollo akavulilue mu ndaghilo sa Mutwa. Ndavule alyale ni ngufu nu Mhepo, alyajovile nakuvulanisia vunofu ghano ghiling'ana nu Yesu, alyakaguile kuuti lwe lwofugho lwa Yohana.
He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
26 U Apolo akatengula kujova kuvukangafu munyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila. Looli u Prisila nu Akwila ye vam'pulike, valyavombile uvumanyani nu mwene kange vakamwolelela ku kyanya musila ija Nguluve vunofu.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him in and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Ye anoghilue kuvuka kuluta ku Akaya, avanyalukolo vakan'kangasia inumbula na pikuvalembela ikalata avavulanisivua vano valyale ku Akaya kuuti vamwupile. Ye afikile kulusungu alyatangile kyongo vala vano valyamwitike.
When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
28 Ku ngufu sa mwene Navarro manyani, u Apolo alyavakilile ava Yahudi pavwelu ye ivonesia kuhumila amalembe agha kuuti u Yesu ghwe Kilisite.
For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
