Inkuru Nziza yamamazwa i Korinti

¹ Nyuma y’ibyo, Pawulo ava Atene ajya i Korinti.

² Ahasanga Umuyahudi witwa Akwila ukomoka i Ponto, wari uherutse kuva mu Butaliyani n’umugore we Purisila, kuko umwami w’i Roma, Kalawudiyo, yari yategetse Abayahudi bose kuhava. Pawulo amenyana na bo,

³ kandi kubera ko yari ahuje umwuga na bo, — bari ababoshyi b’amahema —, aguma iwabo bagakorana uwo mwuga.

⁴ Buri munsi w’isabato yafataga ijambo mu isengero, akagerageza kwemeza Abayahudi n’Abagereki.

⁵ Nuko Silasi na Timote bamaze kuhagera baturutse i Masedoniya, Pawulo yiyegurira wese ijambo ry’Imana, yemeza Abayahudi ko Yezu ari we Mukiza.

⁶ Nyamara bo bakamurwanya kandi bakamutuka, ni ko gukunguta imyambaro ye, ababwira ati «Amaraso yanyu azabahame! Jye ndi umwere, ndetse no kuva ubu nigiriye mu banyamahanga.»

⁷ Avuye aho ngaho, ajya ku witwa Tito Yusito, umuntu wubahaga Imana, akaba yari atuye iruhande rw’isengero.

⁸ Kirisipo, umutware w’isengero, yemera Nyagasani n’urugo rwe rwose, ndetse n’Abanyakorinti benshi bumvise amagambo ya Pawulo baremera, barabatizwa.

⁹ Nuko ijoro rimwe, Nyagasani abonekera Pawulo aramubwira ati «Witinya, ahubwo komeza uvuge, ntuceceke!

¹⁰ Ndi kumwe nawe kandi nta n’umwe uzahangara kukugirira nabi, kuko abantu benshi muri uyu mugi ari abanjye.»

¹¹ Pawulo amarana na bo umwaka umwe n’amezi atandatu, abigisha ijambo ry’Imana.

Pawulo ashyikirizwa Galiyo

¹² Mu gihe Galiyo yatwaraga Akaya, Abayahudi bahuza umugambi wo gufata Pawulo, bamujyana mu rukiko,

¹³ bamurega bagira bati «Uyu muntu yoshya abantu gusenga Imana ku buryo bunyuranyije n’Amategeko.»

¹⁴ Pawulo ngo ajye kugira icyo avuga, Galiyo abwira Abayahudi ati «Bayahudi, iyo bujya kuba ubugome cyangwa ubugizi bwa nabi murega uyu muntu, najyaga kubumva;

¹⁵ ariko ubwo ari impaka zerekeye ku nyigisho, ku mazina no ku mategeko yanyu bwite, nimubyirangirize ubwanyu. Jye sinshaka kuba umucamanza w’ibyo!»

¹⁶ Nuko abirukana mu rukiko.

¹⁷ Ubwo bahera ko basumira Sositeni, umutware w’isengero, bamukubitira imbere y’urukiko; ariko Galiyo ntiyabyitaho na busa.

Pawulo agaruka Antiyokiya, agasubira mu butumwa

¹⁸ Pawulo yongera kumara igihe kirekire i Korinti, hanyuma asezera ku bavandimwe, afata ubwato ajya muri Siriya ari kumwe na Purisila na Akwila. Ageze i Kenkireya, ariyogoshesha kubera umuhigo yari yarahize.

¹⁹ Bageze Efezi, Pawulo asiga bagenzi be aho ngaho, yinjira mu isengero atangira kwigisha Abayahudi.

²⁰ Bamusaba kuhamara igihe kirekire ariko arabyanga;

²¹ ahubwo abasezeraho ababwira ati «Niba Imana ibishatse, nzagaruka iwanyu.» Afata ubwato ava Efezi,

²² yomokera i Kayizareya ajya gusura Kiliziya y’aho, hanyuma amanuka ajya Antiyokiya,

²³ ahamara igihe kirekire. Ahavuye arakomeza azenguruka akarere k’Ubugalati na Furujiya, ashishikaza abigishwa bose.

Apolo yigisha i Efezi n’i Korinti

²⁴ Nuko Umuyahudi witwaga Apolo, kavukire ka Alegisandiriya, agera i Efezi. Akaba umuntu w’umuhanga mu Byanditswe.

²⁵ Yari yarigishijwe inzira ya Nyagasani, akagira n’umwete mu kuvuga ibyerekeye Yezu, kandi akabyigisha uko biri, n’ubwo yari azi gusa batisimu ya Yohani.

²⁶ Ubwo atangira kuvugira mu isengero ashize amanga, Purisila na Akwila ngo bamwumve bamujyana iwabo, bamusobanurira kurushaho inzira y’Imana.

²⁷ Hanyuma Apolo ashatse kujya muri Akaya, abavandimwe bamutera inkunga kandi bandikira abigishwa b’aho ngo bamwakire neza. Agezeyo, agirira akamaro abemeye babikesha ubuntu bw’Imana,

²⁸ kuko yatsindaga impaka Abayahudi ku mugaragaro, abereka mu Byanditswe ko Yezu ari we Kristu.
