Acts 18
1 Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, Paulu jáde kúrò ni Ateni lọ sí Kọrinti.
After this, Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.
2 Ó sì rí Júù kan tí a ń pè ní Akuila, tí a bí ni Pọntu, tí ó ti Itali dé ní lọ́ọ́lọ́ọ́, pẹ̀lú Priskilla aya rẹ̀; nítorí tí Kilaudiu pàṣẹ pé, kí gbogbo àwọn Júù jáde kúrò ní Romu. Ó sì tọ̀ wọ́n lọ láti rí wọn.
There he found a Jew named Aquila, of Pontus by birth, who had recently come from Italy along with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul came to them,
3 Nítorí tí òun náà jẹ́ oníṣẹ̀-ọwọ́ kan náà, ó bá wọn jókòó, ó sì ń ṣiṣẹ́: nítorí àgọ́ pípa ni iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ wọn.
and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
4 Ó sì ń fi ọ̀rọ̀ wé ọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn nínú Sinagọgu lọ́jọjọ́ ìsinmi, ó sì ń yí àwọn Júù àti àwọn Giriki lọ́kàn padà.
Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue and tried to persuade both Jews and Greeks.
5 Nígbà tí Sila àti Timotiu sì tí Makedonia wá, ọ̀rọ̀ náà ká Paulu lára, ó ń fihàn fún àwọn Júù pé, Jesu ni Kristi náà.
When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì sàtakò rẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì sọ̀rọ̀-òdì, ó gbọ́n aṣọ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀jẹ̀ yin ń bẹ lórí ara yin; ọrùn mi mọ́: láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, èmi yóò tọ àwọn aláìkọlà lọ.”
But when the Jews opposed him and reviled him, he shook out his garments and said to them, “Your blood be upon your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 Ó sì lọ kúrò níbẹ̀, ó wọ ilé ọkùnrin kan tí a ń pé ní Titu Justu, ẹni tí o ń sin Ọlọ́run; ilé rẹ̀ sì wà lẹ́gbẹ̀ Sinagọgu tímọ́tímọ́.
So he moved on from there and went to the house of a man named Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Krisipu, olórí Sinagọgu, sì gba Olúwa gbọ́ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ilé rẹ̀, àti ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn ara Kọrinti, nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́, wọ́n gbàgbọ́, a sì bamitiisi wọn.
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord together with his whole household. And many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9 Olúwa sì sọ fún Paulu lóru ni ojúran pé, “Má bẹ̀rù, ṣá máa sọ, má sì ṣe pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.
One night the Lord said to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent.
10 Nítorí tí èmí wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, kò sì sí ẹni tí yóò dìde sí ọ láti pa ọ lára: nítorí mo ní ènìyàn púpọ̀ ni ìlú yìí.”
For I am with yoʋ, and no one will attack yoʋ to do yoʋ harm, for I have many people in this city.”
11 Ó sì jókòó níbẹ̀ ní ọdún kan àti oṣù mẹ́fà, ó ń kọ́ni ní ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run láàrín wọn.
So Paul stayed for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Nígbà tí Gallioni sì jẹ baálẹ̀ Akaia, àwọn Júù fi ìfìmọ̀ṣọ̀kan dìde sí Paulu wọn sì mú un wá síwájú ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́.
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 Wọ́n wí pé, “Ọkùnrin yìí ń yí àwọn ènìyàn lọ́kàn padà, láti máa sin Ọlọ́run lòdì sí òfin.”
saying, “This man is persuading people to worship God in a manner contrary to the law.”
14 Nígbà tí Paulu ń fẹ́ dáhùn, Gallioni wí fún àwọn Júù pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé ọ̀ràn búburú tàbí tí jàgídíjàgan kan ni, èmi ìbá gbè yín, ẹ̀yin Júù,
But just as Paul was about to open his mouth to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or evil misdeed, O Jews, I would bear with you, as is reasonable.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ti ṣe ọ̀ràn nípa ọ̀rọ̀ àti orúkọ, àti ti òfin yín ni, ki ẹ̀yin bojútó o fúnra yín; nítorí tí èmi kò fẹ́ ṣe onídàájọ́ nǹkan báwọ̀nyí.”
But since it is a question about words, names, and your own law, see to it yourselves, for I do not want to be a judge of such things.”
16 Ó sì lé wọn kúrò ní ibi ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́.
So he drove them away from the judgment seat.
17 Gbogbo àwọn Giriki sì mú Sostene, olórí Sinagọgu, wọ́n sì lù ú níwájú ìtẹ́ ìdájọ́. Gallioni kò sì bìkítà fún nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. But none of these things were of any concern to Gallio.
18 Paulu sì dúró sí i níbẹ̀ lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀, nígbà tí ó sì dágbére fún àwọn arákùnrin, ó bá ọkọ̀ ojú omi lọ si Siria, àti Priskilla àti Akuila pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; ó tí fá orí rẹ̀ ni Kenkerea, nítorí tí ó ti jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́.
After staying in Corinth for many more days, Paul took leave of the brothers and set sail for Syria, and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. (Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae because he was under a vow.)
19 Ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí Efesu, ó sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ níbẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n òun tìkára rẹ̀ wọ inú Sinagọgu lọ, ó sì bá àwọn Júù fi ọ̀rọ̀ wé ọ̀rọ̀.
When he arrived at Ephesus, he left Priscilla and Aquila there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀ ẹ́ pé, kí ó bá àwọn jókòó díẹ̀ sí i, ó kọ̀.
When they asked him to stay with them for a longer period of time, he declined.
21 Ṣùgbọ́n ó dágbére fún wọn, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ó tún padà tọ̀ yín wá, bí Ọlọ́run bá fẹ́.” Ó sì lọ kúrò láti Efesu.
However, as he took leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep the coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return to you again, God willing.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 Nígbà tí ó sì tí gúnlẹ̀ ni Kesarea, ó gòkè lọ si Jerusalẹmu láti kí ìjọ, lẹ́yìn náà ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Antioku.
When he arrived at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and then went down to Antioch.
23 Nígbà tí ó sì gbé ọjọ́ díẹ̀ níbẹ̀, ó n lọ, láti káàkiri ni agbègbè Galatia àti Frigia, o ń mu àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn lọ́kàn le.
After spending some time there, he departed and went from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Júù kan sì wà tí a ń pè ni Apollo, tí a bí ni Alekisandiria, ó wá sí Efesu. Ó ní ẹ̀bùn ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ, ó sì mọ ìwé mímọ́ púpọ̀.
Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, arrived in Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well-versed in the Scriptures.
25 Ọkùnrin yìí ni a tí kọ́ ní ọ̀nà tí Olúwa; ó sì ṣe ẹni tí ó ní ìtara tí ẹ̀mí, ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ ó sì ń kọ́ni ní àwọn ohun tí i ṣe ti Jesu dáradára; kìkì bamitiisi tí Johanu ní ó mọ̀.
He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. Being fervent in spirit, he spoke and accurately taught the facts about the Lord, though he knew only about the baptism of John.
26 Ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí fi ìgboyà sọ̀rọ̀ ni Sinagọgu. Nígbà tí Akuila àti Priskilla gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n mú un sọ́dọ̀, wọ́n sì túbọ̀ sọ ọ̀nà Ọlọ́run fún un dájúdájú.
He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God in greater detail.
27 Nígbà tí ó sì ń fẹ́ kọjá lọ sì Akaia, àwọn arákùnrin gbà á ní ìyànjú, wọ́n sì kọ̀wé sí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kí wọ́n gbà á, nígbà tí ó sì dé, ó ràn àwọn tí ó gbàgbọ́ nípasẹ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ lọ́wọ́ púpọ̀.
And when Apollos wanted to cross over to Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples, encouraging them to receive him. When he arrived, he was a great help to those who had become believers through grace,
28 Nítorí tí o sọ àsọyé fún àwọn Júù ní gbangba, ó ń fi í hàn nínú ìwé mímọ́ pé, Jesu ni Kristi.
for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
