¹After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

¹ Hayey din banda, Bulos tun Atina ka kaa Korint kwaara.

²He 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,

² A du Yahudance fo noodin kaŋ maa Akila, kaŋ i hay Bontos laabu. A mana gay da Italiya funyaŋ, nga nda nga wando kaŋ se i ga ne Birisila, zama Bonkooni Kuludiyos lordi ka ne Yahudancey kulu ma fun Roma kwaara. Bulos mo kaa i do.

³and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

³ Koyne, zama i kambe goy fo no, a goro i do. I go ga goy care banda, zama i kambe goyo ga ti kuuru-fu teeyaŋ.

⁴He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

⁴ Bulos goono ga kakaw Yahudance diina marga* fuwo ra asibti kulu, a goono ga ceeci nga ma Yahudancey da Garekey bare.

⁵But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

⁵ Amma waato kaŋ Sila nda Timotiyos kaa ka fun Masidoniya, Bulos na mo ye waazo gaa. A goono ga seeda Yahudancey se ka ne: «Yesu no ga ti Almasihu.»

⁶When 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!”

⁶ Amma waato kaŋ i kakaw ka sanni yaamoyaŋ ci, Bulos na nga bankaarayey kokobe ka ne i se: «Araŋ alhakko go araŋ boŋ, day ay wo, ay ga hanan! Sohõ kay ay ga koy dumi cindey do.»

⁷He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

⁷ A tun noodin ka furo boro fo kaŋ se i ga ne Titos Yustos kwaara. Boro no kaŋ ga sududu Irikoy se. A windo go ga lamba Yahudance diina marga fuwo gaa.

⁸Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.

⁸ Kirisbos, kaŋ ga ti Yahudance diina marga jine bora na Rabbi cimandi, nga nda nga windo kulu. Korint kwaara boro boobo mo, waato kaŋ i maa _Bulos waazo|_, cimandi, i te i se baptisma mo.

⁹The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;

⁹ Rabbi mo salaŋ Bulos se cin bangayyaŋ ra ka ne a se: «Ma si humburu, amma ma salaŋ, ma si dangay bo.

¹⁰ for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”

¹⁰ Zama ay go ni banda. Boro kulu si kaŋ ni boŋ ka ni maray, zama ay gonda boro boobo kwaaro wo ra.»

¹¹He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

¹¹ Bulos mo goro noodin jiiri fo da handu iddu. A goono ga Irikoy sanno dondonandiyaŋo te i game ra.

¹²But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

¹² Amma waato kaŋ Galliyo gonda Akaya koytara, Yahudancey tun ka gaaba nda Bulos me folloŋ. I kond'a ciiti karga do

¹³saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”

¹³ ka ne: «Boro wo goono ga borey candi i ma sududu Irikoy se da mate kaŋ si saba nda asariya.»

¹⁴But 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;

¹⁴ Amma waato kaŋ Bulos ga ba ka nga meyo fiti, Galliyo ne Yahudancey se: «Ya araŋ Yahudancey, da day zamba hari no, wala da goy laalo fo no, doŋ haciika ay ga suuru araŋ se.

¹⁵but 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.”

¹⁵ Amma hala day sanney da maayey d'araŋ bumbey asariya fintalyaŋo no, araŋ bumbey ma woodin guna. Ay si ciya woodin yaŋ ciitiko.»

¹⁶He drove them from the judgment seat.

¹⁶ A n'i gaaray mo ciiti karga jine.

¹⁷Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.

¹⁷ Ngey mo, ikulu na Sostano di, kaŋ ga ti Yahudance diina marga jine bora. I n'a kar ciiti karga jine, amma Galliyo mana woodin yaŋ kulu saal.

¹⁸Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

¹⁸ Amma hayey din banda, Bulos goro ka te jirbi boobo noodin. Gaa no a na nya-izey to baani. A furo hi noodin ka koy hala Suriya laabu, Birisila nda Akila mo koy a banda. A jin ka nga boŋo cabu Sankariya kwaara ra, zama a na sarti sambu.

¹⁹He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

¹⁹ I kaa Afasos. Bulos n'i naŋ noodin. Nga bumbo furo Yahudance diina marga fuwo ra ka kakaw da Yahudancey.

²⁰When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;

²⁰ Waato kaŋ i n'a ŋwaaray a ma ye ka goro ngey do koyne, a mana yadda.

²¹but taking his leave of them, and saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus.

²¹ Amma a n'i fo ka ne: «Da Irikoy ba, ay ga ye ka kaa araŋ do.» Gaa no a furo hi Afasos ka dira.

²²When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.

²² Waato kaŋ a zumbu Kaysariya, a koy ka Almasihu marga fo, gaa no a koy Antiyos.

²³Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

²³ Kaŋ a goro noodin alwaatiyaŋ, gaa no a tun ka Galatiya nda Firijiya laabey gana ka talibey kulu no bine-gaabi.

²⁴Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.

²⁴ Yahudance fo kaŋ se i ga ne Abolos, kaŋ i hay Iskandariya kwaara, kaa Afasos. Boro no kaŋ ga waani sanni, bayraykooni mo no Irikoy Tira Hanney ra.

²⁵This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

²⁵ Bora din na Rabbi fonda dondon gumo. A gonda anniya beeri mo nga bina ra. A goono ga salaŋ ka dondonandi mo gumo hayey kaŋ ga ti Yesu waney boŋ. Day Yohanna baptisma hinne no a ga bay.

²⁶He 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.

²⁶ A soobay ka salaŋ da bine-gaabi Yahudance diina marga fuwo ra. Amma waato kaŋ Birisila nda Akila maa _a sanno|_, i kond'a ka Irikoy fonda feeri a se hal a ma boori.

²⁷When 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;

²⁷ Waato kaŋ a ba nga ma bisa ka koy Akaya, nya-izey n'a no bine-gaabi. I hantum talibey se noodin ka ne i m'a kubayni. Nga mo, waato kaŋ a to noodin, a na borey kaŋ yaŋ cimandi gomni do gaa gumo.

²⁸for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

²⁸ Zama taray kwaaray no a na Yahudancey zeeri nda gaabi ka cabe i se Irikoy Tira Hanney ra kaŋ Yesu no ga ti Almasihu.
