Acts 18
1 After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Post haec egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:
2 There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
et inveniens quemdam Iudaeum nomine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, qui nuper venerat ab Italia, et Priscillam uxorem eius, (eo quod praecepisset Claudius discedere omnes Iudaeos a Roma) accessit ad eos.
3 and he stayed and worked with them because they were tentmakers by trade, just as he was.
Et quia eiusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur: (erant autem scenofactoriae artis.)
4 Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Iesu, suadebatque Iudaeis, et Graecis.
5 And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Iudaeis esse Christum Iesum.
6 But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego, ex hoc ad Gentes vadam.
7 So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cuiusdam, nomine Titi Iusti, colentis Deum, cuius domus erat coniuncta synagogae.
8 Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.
Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.
9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.
Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:
10 For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”
propter quod ego sum tecum: et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.
11 So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.
Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.
12 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
Gallione autem proconsule Achaiae, insurrexerunt uno animo Iudaei in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,
13 “This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.
14 But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Iudaeos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid, aut facinus pessimum o viri Iudaei, recte vos sustinerem.
15 But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
Si vero quaestiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, legis vestrae, vos ipsi videritis: Iudex ego horum nolo esse.
16 And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
Et minavit eos a tribunali.
17 At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogae, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curae erat.
18 Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
Paulus vero cum adhuc sustinuisset dies multos, fratribus valefaciens, navigavit in Syriam, (et cum eo Priscilla, et Aquila) qui sibi totonderat in Cenchris caput: habebat enim votum.
19 When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Iudaeis.
20 When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,
21 But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.
sed valefaciens, et dicens, Iterum revertar ad vos Deo volente, profectus est ab Epheso.
22 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.
Et descendens Caesaream, ascendit, et salutavit Ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.
23 After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galatiam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.
24 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.
Iudaeus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.
25 He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea, quae sunt Iesu, sciens tantum baptisma Ioannis.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him in and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Hic ergo coepit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.
27 When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his, qui crediderant.
28 For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
Vehementer enim Iudaeos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas, esse Christum Iesum.
