MINTIRHO 18
Ta Pawulo loko a ri eKorinto
1 Endzhaku ka sweswo Pawulo a suka eAtena, a ya eKorinto. 2 Emutini lowu, a kuma Muyuda un'wana loyi a va ku i Akwila, la velekiweke ePonto, loyi a a fikile hi le Italiya ku nga ri khale, a ri na Prisila nsati wa yena; hikuva hosi Klawudiyo a yi lerisile leswaku Vayuda hinkwavo va suka eRhoma. Pawulo a ya ka vona. 3 Kutani leswi a a ri wa ntirho lowu fanaka ni wa vona, a tshama na vona, a ri karhi a tirha; hikuva ntirho wa vona a wu ri wa ku rhunga matende.
4 Kutani, masiku hinkwawo ya Savata, Pawulo a a hlamulana ni lava a va ri esinagogeni, a ringeta ku khorwisa Vayuda ni Vagriki.
5 Loko Silasi na Timotiya va tile va huma le Makedoniya, Pawulo a tinyiketa ku dyondzisa Rito ntsena, a nga ha tirhi swin'wana; a tiyisa eka Vayuda leswaku Mesiya, hi yena Yesu. 6 Kambe loko vona va n'wi kaneta ni ku n'wi sandza, a phumunha ntshuri eswiambalweni swa yena, a ku ka vona: “Nandzu lowu, wu dlaya n'wina vini va wona; loko ndzi ri mina, ndzi humile ka wona; ku sukela sweswi, ndzi ta ya eka vamatiko.” 7 Hiloko a hambana na vona, a ya tshama ekaya ka wanuna un'wana loyi a va ku i Titiyo Yusto, munhu wo chava Xikwembu, loyi muti wa yena a wu vandzekene ni sinagoga.
8 Kambe Krispo, mufambisi wa sinagoga, a pfumela ka Hosi, a ri ni va ndyangu wa yena hinkwavo; na vona Vakorinto lavo tala, loko va twa Rito, va pfumela, va va va khuvuriwa.
9 Vusiku byin'wana Hosi yi humelela eka Pawulo hi xivono, yi ku ka yena: “U nga chavi; kambe vulavula, u nga miyeri, 10 hikuva ndzi na wena; a ku na munhu la nga ta ku pfukela, a ku endla leswo biha; hikuva ndzi ni vanhu lavo tala emutini lowu.”
11 Kutani Pawulo a tshama kona lembe rin'we, ni tin'hweti ta 6, a ri karhi a dyondzisa rito ra Xikwembu exikarhi ka vona.
12 Enkarhini lowu Galiyo a ri muyimeri wa vuhosi le Akaya,t Vayuda va pfumelelana ku pfukela Pawulo, kutani va n'wi yisa ehubyeni, 13 va ku: “Munhu loyi ú khorwisa vanhu ku gandzela Xikwembu hi mukhuva lowu hambaneke ni Nawu.” 14 Loko Pawulo a ha lava ku hlamula, Galiyo a ku ka Vayuda: “N'wina Vayuda, loko ingi hi tenga mhaka yo homboloka leyi nga endliwa, kumbe ku kanganyisa kun'wana loko biha ngopfu, a swi ta ndzi boha ku amukela ku mangala ka n'wina; 15 kambe leswi ku kaneriwaka mhaka ya marito, ni ya mavito, ni ya Nawu wa ka n'wina, swi voneni hi n'wexe, hikuva mina a ndzi lavi ku va muavanyisi wa timhaka leto tano.” 16 Kutani a va hlongola ehubyeni.
17 Kavaloko hinkwavo va khoma Sostene, mufambisi wa sinagoga, kutani va n'wi ba emahlweni ka huvo; kambe Galiyo a a nga ri na mhaka na swona.Ta Pawulo loko a tlhelela eAntiyoka
18 tKuteloko Pawulo a xwile eKorinto masiku layo tala, a lelana ni vamakwavo, a ya eSiriya hi ngalava, a ri na Prisila na Akwila. A suka a byewuriwile nhloko eKenikreya, hikuva a a tibohile hi ku hlambanya. 19 Va ya fika le Efesa, laha Pawulo a nga siya va Akwila kona; kutani a nghena esinagogeni, a hlamulana ni Vayuda. 20 Vona va n'wi kombela leswaku a xwa na vona a hlwelanyana, kambe a nga pfumelanga.
21 Kutani a lelana na vona, a ku: “Ndzi ta tlhela ndzi vuya la ka n'wina, loko Xikwembu xi swi rhandza.” Kutani a suka le Efesa hi ngalava.
22 Kuteloko a fikile eKhezariya, a tlhandlukela eYerusalema, a xeweta kereke, kutani a rhelela a ya eAntiyoka.
23 A tshama nkarhinyana kona, kutani a suka, a rhendzeleka hinkwako ematikweni ya Galatiya ni ya Frigiya, a ri karhi a tiyisa vadyondzisiwa hinkwavo.Ta Apolosi loko a twarisa Rito le Efesa
24 Muyuda un'wana loyi a va ku i Apolosi, a fika eEfesa. A a velekiwile le Aleksandriya, a ri wanuna wa matimba eku vulavuleni,t la tivaka ngopfu Matsalwa. 25 A a dyondzisiwile Ndlela ya Hosi; kutani, hi ku hiseka ka yena emoyeni, a a vula ni ku dyondzisa timhaka ta Yesu hi ndlela ya tona, hambileswi a a tiva nkhuvulo wa Yohane ntsena. 26 A sungula ku vulavula esinagogeni, a nga chavi nchumu. Kuteloko Prisila na Akwila va n'wi twile, va n'wi rhurhela, va n'wi hlamusela swinene-nene Ndlela ya Xikwembu. 27 Kambe leswi a a lava ku ya fika eAkaya,t vamakwavo va seketela makungu ya yena, kutani va tsalela vadyondzisiwa, ku kombela leswaku va n'wi amukela. Loko a fikile ka vona, a pfuna ngopfu lava a va pfumerile hi ku tsakeriwa hi Xikwembu; 28 hikuva, hi marito ya matimba, a a kanetana ni Vayuda erivaleni, a ri karhi a va komba hi Matsalwa leswaku Mesiya, hi yena Yesu.
Acts 18
Paul at Corinth
1 After these things he left Athens and went to Corinth.2 And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,3 and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working, for by trade they were tent-makers.4 And he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath and trying to persuade Jews and Greeks.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.6 But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."7 Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his household, and many of the Corinthians when they heard were believing and being baptized.9 And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;10 for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city."11 And he settled there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,13 saying, "This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;15 but if there are questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters."16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat.17 And they all took hold of Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.
18 Paul, having remained many days longer, took leave of the brethren and put out to sea for Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. In Cenchrea he had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow.19 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.20 When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent,21 but taking leave of them and saying, "I will return to you again if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
Third Missionary Journey
23 And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures.25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John;26 and he began to speak out 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 And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace,28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
