Acts 18
1 Mambu momo bu mavioka, Polo wukatuka mu Atene, wuyenda ku Kolinto.
And after these things, having left Athens, he came to Corinth;
2 Wubuana Nyuda wumosi, dizina diandi Akilasi, wubutukila ku Ponti; buna bosi kuandi kabedi ku Itali ayi nketoꞌandi Pilisiye. Bila ntinu Klode wutuma ti bamana kuka Bayuda boso baba ku Loma. Polo wufubakana yawu.
and finding a certain Jew by name Aquila, of Pontus by race, just come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome, ) came to them,
3 Sumbu baba salanga kisalu kimosi kitunga zinzo zi ngoto, Polo wuvuandayawu ayi basala va kimosi.
and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade.
4 Kadika lumbu ki saba, Polo wuba longanga mu nzo lukutukunu, wuwilukisa Bayuda ayi basi Ngelese.
And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 Sila ayi Timote bu baba ku Maseduani, buna Polo wukiyekula mu kisalu ki longa ayi telimina Yesu kimbangi kuidi Bayuda ti niandi Klisto.
And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in respect of the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 Vayi Bayuda bu bantinguna ayi bu bavueza Klisto, Polo wunikuna minledi miandi ayi wuba kamba: —Bika menga meno matombolo va mbata mintu mieno. Tona buabu ndieka kuenda longi Bapakanu.
But as they opposed and spoke injuriously, he shook his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head: I [am] pure; from henceforth I will go to the nations.
7 Bu kabotuka vana, wukota ku nzo mutu wumosi, dizina diandi Titiusi Yusitusi, wuba sadilanga Nzambi. Nzoꞌandi yiba yifikama ayi nzo lukutukunu.
And departing thence he came to the house of a certain [man], by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined the synagogue.
8 Vayi Kilisipusi, pfumu nzo lukutukunu ayi basi nzoꞌandi boso bawilukila Pfumu. Basi Kolinto bawombo, bu banwa buna bawilukila ayi babotama.
But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.
9 Lumbu kimosi va builu, Pfumu wukamba Polo mu tsongolo ti: —Bika mona boma! Longa kaka! Kadi ba dio sui!
And the Lord said by vision in [the] night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;
10 Bila minu ndidi yaku! Kadi mutu kalendi kubuila ko mukuvanga phasi bila ndidi mu divula diadi!
because I am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city.
11 Polo mvu mvimba ayi zingondi zisambanu kakadila ku Kolinto, wuba longanga mambu ma Nzambi.
And he remained [there] a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12 Vayi thangu Ngalioni kabiadila mu Akayi, Bayuda bu bawizana va kimosi bayendila Polo manenga, bankanga ayi bannata ku ntiliminadu.
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat,
13 Kuna bamfundila: —Mutu wawu weti wilukisa batu mu diambu basambila Nzambimu phila yikandika Mina.
saying, This [man] persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 Vayi Polo bu kedi katona yoluka, Ngalioni wukamba Bayuda ti: —A beno basi Yuda! Enati mutu wawu masumu kavodidi voti mambu mambimbi kavengi, nganu ndieka vibidila ku luwa.
But as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne with you;
15 Vayi enati bidi biuvu bitedi mambu, mazina ayi Mina mieno, buna bika lutala mawu beno veka. Minu mbengi ba zuzi mu mambu momo.
but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; [for] I do not intend to be judge of these things.
16 Wuba kuka ku ntiliminadu.
And he drove them from the judgment-seat.
17 Batu boso bu babuila Sositeni, pfumu nzo lukutukunu, bamfuza khuba vana nganda ntiliminadu. Vayi Ngalioni kasi kota mambu beni ko.
And having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about none of these things.
18 Polo wubuela kala kuna bilumbu biwombo, buna wubika bakhomba, wukota mu masuwa mu kuenda ku Sili va kimosi ayi Akilasi ayi Pilisiye. Bu kavukusu dikungulu ku Sansela, bila tsila kavana.
And Paul, having yet stayed [there] many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow;
19 Bu katula ku Efeso, Polo wubika Akilasi ayi Pilisiye ayi wukotaniandi veka mu nzo lukutukunu; wusolula ayi Bayuda.
and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews.
20 Banleba kakala yawu bilumbu biwombo vayi wumanga kuandi.
And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time [with them] he did not accede,
21 Wubabika ayi wuba kamba: —Enati Nzambi tidi, ndiela kuiza kulubumina! Wukota mu masuwa, wubika Efeso.
but bade them farewell, saying, [I must by all means keep the coming feast at Jerusalem]; I will return to you again, if God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus.
22 Bu katula ku Sezale, wuyenda ku Yelusalemi mu vana badibundu mboti. Kuzimunina, wuyenda ku Antioshi.
And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
23 Bu kakala kuna ndambu bilumbu, wuyenda ayi wuviokila mu zunga ki Ngalatiya ayi ki Filingi mu kindisa minlonguki mioso.
And having stayed [there] some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples.
24 Nyuda wumosi, dizina diandi Apolo, wuyiza ku Efeso wuba muisi Alekisandiya wuba mutu wumosi wuludede ayi wuzaba bumboti masonoko.
But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.
25 Niandi wukilongolo nzila yi Pfumu, wuba wu fuluka mu Pheve, wutuba, wulonga boso bufueni mambu mitedi Yesu. Niandi wuzaba kaka malongi ma mbotokolo yi botika Yowani.
He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 Niandi wulonga mu nzo yi lukutukunu mu kambu memata. Pilisiye ayi Akilasi bu banwa buna bannata ku nzoꞌawu; batona ku nsudikisa bumboti nzila yi Nzambi.
And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to [them] and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly.
27 Sumbu kaba mayindu makuenda ku Akayi, bakhomba zisonikina minlonguki ayi baba kindisa muingi banyakula bumboti. Buna katula kuna, wusadisa batu bobo bawilukila mu nlemvo wowo katambula.
And when he purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace.
28 Bila wuba bedisanga Bayuda va nyalu nguba, wumonisa mu masonoko ti Yesu niandi Klisto.
For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
