Acts 18
1 After these things, departing from Athens, he came to Corinth.
随后保罗离开雅典，来到哥林多，
2 And finding a certain Jew, named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome, ) he came to them.
在这里遇到一位老家在本都的犹太人亚居拉。由于革老丢命令所有犹太人离开罗马，所以他最近和妻子百基拉从意大利来到这里，于是保罗去见他们。
3 And because he was of the same trade, he remained with them, and wrought; (now they were tentmakers by trade.)
由于他们和保罗一样都是以做帐棚为生，于是保罗在他们家住了下来。
4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, bringing in the name of the Lord Jesus; and he persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
每逢安息日，保罗都会到会堂进行辩论，劝导犹太人和希腊人。
5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul was earnest in preaching, testifying to the Jews, that Jesus is the Christ.
西拉和提摩太从马其顿赶到这里与保罗会和，保罗就可以专心传扬主的道，向犹太人证明耶稣就是基督。
6 But they gainsaying and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said to them: Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
当犹太人反对他、诅咒他时，他就会抖动衣服，对他们说：“你们的罪由你们自己承担，与我无关。从现在起，我要到异教徒那里去了。”
7 And departing thence, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house was adjoining to the synagogue.
于是他离开那里，住到了敬拜上帝的提多·犹士都的家中，就在会堂的隔壁。
8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized.
会堂主管基利司布和全家人信了主，很多哥林多人也在听了道之后信了主，接受了施洗。
9 And the Lord said to Paul in the nights, by a vision: Do not fear, but speak; and hold not thy peace,
夜里，主通过异象对保罗说：“不要怕，大胆宣讲，不要保持沉默！
10 Because I am with thee: and no man shall set upon thee, to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city.
因为我与你同在，没有人会攻击你，因为在这座城里有许多人都追随我。”
11 And he stayed there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
保罗在那里住了一年零六个月，想向众人传授上帝之道。
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
但在迦流担任亚该亚省长期间，犹太人一致起来攻击保罗，将他带到了法院，
13 Saying: This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
说：“此人劝大家以违反律法的方式敬拜上帝。”
14 And when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: If it were some matter of injustice, or an heinous deed, O Jews, I should with reason bear with you.
保罗刚要开口为自己辩护，迦流就对犹太人说：“如果你们犹太人想要指控犯法或严重违法行为，我一定会听你们的讲述。
15 But if they be questions of word and names, and of your law, look you to it: I will not be judge of such things.
但你们争论的只是文字、名字和你们的律法，那你们应当自己处理。我不会审判此类案子。”
16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.
说罢，迦流就把他们从法院赶了出去。
17 And all laying hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, beat him before the judgment seat; and Gallio cared for none of those things.
随后众人转向攻击会堂主管苏提尼，在法院门外殴打他，但迦流对此完全不予理会。
18 But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae: for he had a vow.
保罗在这里住了一段时间后，便辞别了信徒，乘船去叙利亚，百基拉和亚居拉与他同行。因为他之前许下承诺，他就在坚革里剃光了头发。
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there. But he himself entering into the synagogue, disputed with the Jews.
一行人抵达以弗所后，保罗离开众人自己去了会堂，在那里跟犹太人辩论。
20 And when they desired him, that he would tarry a longer time, he consented not;
众人请他多住一段时间，但被他拒绝了。
21 But taking his leave, and saying: I will return to you again, God willing, he departed from Ephesus.
他辞别众人，在以弗所乘船离开。临行前他告诉众人：“如果上帝允许，我还会回来。”
22 And going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and saluted the church, and so came down to Antioch.
他在该撒利亚下船，与教会成员见了一面，然后启程去往安提阿。
23 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, confirming all the disciples.
他在那里住了一段时间后，继续走遍加拉太地区和弗吕加的各个城镇，为众信徒带去鼓舞激励。
24 Now a certain Jew, named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, one mighty in the scriptures.
与此同时，一位名叫亚波罗的犹太人来到以弗所。他老家在亚历山太，颇有口才，非常了解圣经。
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, spoke, and taught diligently the things that are of Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John.
他曾接受主之道的教诲，内心充满热情，无论讲话还是授道，都能准确讲述耶稣，但他只知晓约翰施洗之事。
26 This man therefore began to speak boldly in the synagogue. Whom when Priscilla and Aquila had heard, they took him to them, and expounded to him the way of the Lord more diligently.
他开始在会堂里公开讲道。百基拉和亚居拉听说了他，就邀请他加入，更全面地解读上帝之道。
27 And whereas he was desirous to go to Achaia, the brethren exhorting, wrote to the disciples to receive him. Who, when he was come, helped them much who had believed.
后来他决定去亚该亚，信徒们就鼓励他，还给那里的使徒写信，请他们接待他。抵达亚该亚后，在当地人蒙受恩典相信上帝的过程中，他起了很大的作用，
28 For with much vigour he convinced the Jews openly, shewing by the scriptures, that Jesus is the Christ.
因为他能在公开辩论种有力驳斥犹太人，通过圣经证明耶稣既是基督。
