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

¹ Bi loolu wéyee Pool bàyyikoo Aten, dem Korent.

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 Mu tase fa ak Yawut bu tudd Akilas te juddoo diiwaanu Pont. Muy sog a jóge réewu Itali ak jabaram Pirsil, ndaxte buur ba Këlódd sant na Yawut yépp, ñu génn Room.

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

³ Noonu Pool seeti leen, te gannaaw ñoo bokk liggéey, maanaam di defar ay tànt, mu dal fa ñoom, ñuy liggéeyandoo.

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

⁴ Bésu noflaay bu nekk nag muy diisoo ak ñi nekk ca jàngu ba, di jéem a gëmloo ay Yawut ak ay Gereg.

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 Waaye bi Silas ak Timote jógee diiwaanu Maseduwan, egg fa, Pool jublu ci xamle kàddu gi, tey dëggal ci Yawut yi naan, Yeesu mooy Almasi bi.

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 Bi ko Yawut ya gàntoo nag, di ko xas, mu yëlëb ay yéreem ne leen: «Yéena sàkku seen musiba; set naa ci. Léegi maa ngi dem ci ñi dul Yawut.»

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 Ci kaw loolu mu jóge fa, dugg ci këru ku tudd Tisiyus Yustus, di ku ragal Yàlla, te kër ga dend ak jàngu ba.

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 Kirispus nag, njiitu jàngu ba, gëm na Boroom bi ak waa këram gépp. Te waa Korent ñu bare dégg kàddu gi te gëm ko, ñu sóob leen ci ndox.

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

⁹ Naka noona Boroom bi feeñu Pool ci guddi ne ko: «Bul tiit dara, waaye deel wax te bañ a noppi.

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

¹⁰ Ndaxte maa ngi ànd ak yaw, te kenn du la jàpp, ba fitnaal la, ndaxte am naa xeet wu bare ci dëkk bii.»

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

¹¹ Noonu Pool des at ak genn-wàll ci seen biir, di fa jàngale kàddug Yàlla.

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

¹² Ci nguuru Galyon ci diiwaanu Akayi nag, Yawut ya likkoo, ñu dal ci kaw Pool, yóbbu ko ca àttekaay ba.

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

¹³ Ñu ne: «Kii day xiir nit ñi ci màggal Yàlla ci lu juuyoo ak yoon wi.»

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 Bi Pool bëggee wax nag, Galyon ne Yawut ya: «Yéen Yawut yi, bu aju woon ci jàdd yoon walla ñaawteef wu réy, kon liy yoon mooy ma déglu leen.

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 Waaye bu ajoo ci ay werante ciy wax ak ay tur ak seen yoon, loolu seen wàll la; man duma ko àtte.»

¹⁶He drove them from the judgment seat.

¹⁶ Noonu mu dàq leen ca àttekaay ba.

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 Ci kaw loolu nit ñépp jàpp Sosten, njiitu jàngu ba, ñu di ko dóor ca kanamu àttekaay ba, waaye Galyon faalewu leen.

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 Bi loolu wéyee Pool desati fa fan yu bare. Gannaaw ga mu tàggtoo ak bokk ya, dugg gaal jëm Siri, ànd ak Pirsil ak Akilas. Bi mu jógeegul teerub Señsere, mu watlu boppam, ndaxte am na lu mu dige woon ak Yàlla.

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

¹⁹ Noonu ñu teer ci Efes. Pool bàyyi fa ñi mu àndaloon, daldi dugg ca jàngu ba, di diisoo ak Yawut ya.

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

²⁰ Ñu ñaan ko, mu des fa lu gën a yàgg, waaye nanguwul.

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 Kon mu tàggtoo ak ñoom naan: «Dinaa dellusi ci yéen, bu soobee Yàlla.» Noonu mu dugg gaal, jóge Efes,

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

²² teersi dëkku Sesare, mu dem nuyu mbooloom ñi gëm, ba noppi dem Ancos.

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

²³ Bi mu fa desee ay jamono, mu jóge fa, di jaar dëkkoo-dëkk ci diiwaanu Galasi ak Firisi, di dooleel xoli taalibe yépp.

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

²⁴ Amoon na nag Yawut bu tudd Apolos te juddoo Alegsàndiri, mu dikk Efes. Nit ku yeewu la woon te am xam-xam bu yaatu ci Mbind mi.

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 Jàngoon na ci yoonu Boroom bi, di ku farlu ci xelam, muy xamle ak a jàngale bu wóor ci mbirum Yeesu, waaye fekk xam-xamam yem ci ni Yaxya daan sóobe ci ndox.

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 Noonu mu daldi wax ak fit wu dëgër ca jàngu ba. Bi ko Pirsil ak Akilas déggee nag, ñu woo ko fi ñoom, gën ko leeral yoonu Yàlla.

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 Naka mu bëgg a dem Akayi, bokk ya xiir ko ca, ñu bind taalibe ya, ngir ñu teeru ko teeru bu rafet. Noonu mu dikk fa te jariñ lool ñi gëm jaare ko ci yiwu Yàlla.

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

²⁸ Ndaxte mu ngay yey Yawut ya ca kanam ñépp, di firi Mbind yi, ba wone ne Yeesu mooy Almasi bi.
