Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Lanya bona ń́ pendi, Pɔli ń ñ̃a Ateni, ki gedi Korenti.
2 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,
Likani, wan cendi Juufi ke bi yi o Akila, ke bi mali o Pɔnti, ke o dá ñani Itali ki pundi, wani yeni o denpua Prisila, kelima Kulodi den ñani bu li ñɔbonli ke Juufinba kuli ke ban ña Roma dogu nni. Pɔli ǹ tuogi ba.
3 and because he practised the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Kelima bi den taa kpenkpendtuonli i, wan kali yeni ba ban ya tuuni, kelima bi den caandi ti jondi i ki kuadi.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Pɔli den wangi mi maama li jaandieli nni mi fuodma daali. O den maadi ke Grekinba yeni Juufinba tuo ki ga o maama.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Ama Silasi yeni Timote ń ñani Maseduani, ki jiidi ki cua, Foŋanma ń niini Pɔli wan kadi ki waani yeni i mɔni ke Jesu n tie Kiristi.
6 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 Gentiles!”
Juufinba ń yie, ki sugdi o, Pɔli ń yogi o tialakaadi bi po, ki maadi ba, “I sɔma ń guani ki wuli i yucela po; Mini naa pia tagliba kuli. Lan cili mɔlane ki ji ya caa, n ba gedi bi nilanba kani i”
7 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Ke o ñani lankani, ki gedi Titiyusi Justusi, ya ja n pugi U Tienu deni. O deni den ki fagi yeni li jaandieli,
8 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.
Krispus, li jaandieli yudaano den taani ki daani O Diedo nni wani yeni yaaba n ye o deni kuli; ke Korenti niba yaaba n gbadi li maama kuli den tuo ki duu U Kiristi nni yeni mi ñinwulma bogdili.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
Ke O Diedo legdi Pɔli po ti dangdi nni ku ñiagu ki maadi, “Da jie, ama ya maadi ki da ŋmini.
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Kelima, N ye yeni a, ke obakuli kan bigni ke wan tieni a yaali n bia, kelima n pia bi niba ke bi yabi u dociamu ne nni”
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God amongst them.
Pɔli den tieni li kani binli yeni bina luoba, ki tundi ba, ki wangi ba U Tienu maama.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgement seat,
Ama Galio ń tua Asihaya gufeneri, Juufinba ń fiini ki nanga Pɔli po, ki gedi yeni o ti buudi danba kani,
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
ki maadi, “Ya nilo ne bɔndi bi niba ke bi pugi U Tienu, ama ti yikodi naa cabi yeni”
14 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;
Lanyognu, Pɔli ń ya bua ga mi maama, Galio ń maadi Juufinba, “Yinba, Juufinba, li ya bi tie jodi bii tuonbiadi maama, li bi baa pia u sanu ke min maadi yeni yi.
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
Ama nani lan tie lanbona yeni yela maama yeni i maabilkacema yeni ii, yinba mɔno ń ŋanbi ma i ŋmiali nni. N ki bua lan ya maama buudi daano.”
16 So he drove them from the judgement seat.
Galio ń beli ba ki ñani ba ti buudi diegu nni.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgement seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
Lanwani ii, bikuli ń taani ki cuo Sosteni, yua den tie li jaandieli yudaano, puapua o ti buudi diegu cancanli. Ama Galio nan den ki songi ban tie yaali.
18 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.
Pɔli den waagi li kani waamu yeni o kpiiba, ki ti fii ki cabi ba ku kua ku ñinbiagu ki gedi Siri wani yeni Prisila yeni Akila. Wan ba fii li ñinbiayaali kani, o den cedi ke bi kuo o Sankreya dogu nni kelima o den niani U Tienu ke o baa ŋua Nasaleti ñɔmaama i.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Ban pundi Efesa, Pɔli ń cabi Prisila yeni Akila lankani, ki gedi obá li jaadieli nni ki ban ya tundi Juufinba.
20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
Bi den mia ke wan kali bi kani waamu, wan yie.
21 but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
O den cabi ba, ki yedi ba, “N ba guani i kani li ya tie U Tienu buama.” ki fii Efesa.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
Pɔli ń pundi Sesare, wan do, ki fuondi Jerusalema Kiristi nitaanli, ki ñani lankani, ki jiidi ki gedi Antiyosi.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
Wan kali likani waamu, wan fii likani ki toli Galatia yeni Prijia diema nni ki ya paandi Kiristi ŋɔdkaaba kuli.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
Juufi ja, ke bi yi o Apolɔsi ke bi mali o Aleksandri ń cua Efesa. O den bani mi maama, ki go paa mi dianma nni.
25 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 Yochanan.
Bi den kuani o O Diedo maama tundma cogu. O yantiali den tiegi yeni U Tienu maama, o den maadi ki go maali ki li tuagi yeni Jesu maama. Ama o den bani Jan ñinwulma bogdili baba i.
26 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.
Apolɔsi den fuoni o yama, ki maadi li jaandieli nni. Ama Prisila yeni Akila ń cengi o maama, ban piadi yeni o ki ŋanbi ki waani o O Diedo sanu.
27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
Wan den bua wan pendi ki gedi Acihayia, o kpiiba den paani o pali, ki diani li tili, ki teni Acihayia Kiristi ŋɔdkaaba ki waani ba ke ban ga o cangu. Wan pundi likani, o den todi U Tienu ŋanbli ń cedi ke yaaba duu Jesu po.
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Yeshua was the Messiah.
Apolɔsi den yaadi Juufinba asala siiga nni, ki nia yeni ba, ki taadi i diani banma ki wangi ba ke Jesu n tie Kiristi.
