Acts 18

1 AND after these transactions, Paul departing from Athens, came to Corinth;

AND when Paulos had gone forth from Athinos, he came unto Kurinthos.

2 and finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately arrived from Italy, with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had issued an order that all Jews should depart from Rome, ) he turned in to them.

And he found there a certain man, a Jihudoya, whose name was Akilos, who was from the country of Pontos, (and) who at that time had come from the country of Italia, himself and Priskila his wife, because Klaudios Cesar had commanded that all the Jihudoyee should go out from Ruma; and he drew near to them:

3 And as he was of the same occupation, he abode with them, and worked, (for by trade they were tent-makers: )

(and) because he was a son of their art, he dwelt with them and wrought with them: but in their art they were tentmakers.

4 and he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both the Jews and the Greek proselytes.

And he discoursed in the synagogue every shabath, and persuaded the Jihudoyee and the Heathens.

5 And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul felt a strong impulse on his spirit, and forcibly testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Messiah.

And when from Makedunia Shilo and Timotheos had come, Paulos was constrained in his speech, because the Jihudoyee arose against him and blasphemed, while he testified to them that Jeshu is the Meshiha.

6 But as they continued opposing and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am pure from it: from this moment will I go to the Gentiles.

And he shook his garments and said to them, From now I am clean: I go unto the Gentiles.

7 And departing thence, he came to the house of a person, called Justus, one who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue.

And he went forth from thence, and entered into the house of a man named Titos, who worshipped Aloha; and his house adjoined the synagogue.

8 But Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptised.

And Krispos, master of the synagogue, believed in our Lord, he and all the sons of his house. And many of the Kurinthoyee heard and believed in Aloha, and were baptized.

9 Then spake the Lord in a vision by night to Paul, Fear not, but speak; and hold not thy peace:

And the Lord said in a vision unto Paulos, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;

10 for I am with thee, and no man shall set himself against thee to do thee harm; because I have much people in this city.

for I am with thee, and no man can do thee harm; and I have much people in this city.

11 And he sat down there a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.

But he abode a year and six months in Kurinthos, and taught them the word of Aloha.

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

AND when Galion was proconsul of Akaia, they gathered together against Paulos, and brought him before the tribunal,

13 saying, This is the fellow that earnestly persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.

saying, This (man) part from the law persuadeth men to worship Aloha.

14 Then Paul being about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews,

And when Paulos sought to open his mouth and speak, Galion said to the Jihudoyee, If it were concerning some thing of evil, or of wickedness, or of abomination, you would complain, O Jihudoyee, it would be proper for me to receive you;

15 If indeed this was now a matter of injustice, or wicked knavery, with reason I should hear you patiently; but if it be merely a controversy about the word, and names, and a law peculiar to yourselves, settle it yourselves: for I will be no judge of these matters.

but if they be questions concerning language and names, and concerning your law, let them be known among yourselves; for I am not willing to be a judge of these matters.

16 And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

And he drove them from his tribunal.

17 Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Gallio paid no regard to any of these things.

And all the Heathens seized Sosthenis the presbyter of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Galion was careless of these.

18 Then Paul abode there yet many days, and taking leave of the disciples, he set sail for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having cut off his hair at Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

And when Paulos had been there many days, he gave the salutation to the brethren, and proceeded by sea to go to Syria: and Priskila and Akilos went with him, when he had shaved his head at Kankreos, because he had vowed a vow.

19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself went into the synagogue, and discoursed with the Jews.

And they came to Ephesos. And Paulos entered the synagogue and discoursed with the Jihudoyee;

20 But when they were importunate with him to prolong his stay among them, he consented not;

and they requested of him to tarry with them; and he was not willing;

21 but took his leave of them, saying, I must by any means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem: but I mean to return to you again, if God so please. So he sailed from Ephesus.

for he said, It behoveth me faithfully to perform the feast which cometh at Urishlem; and if Aloha willeth, I will come again to you. And Akilos and Priskila he left at Ephesos;

22 And landing at Cesarea, he went up, and having saluted the church at Jerusalem, he went down to Antioch.

and he voyaged by sea and came to Cesarea: and he went up and wished the peace of the sons of the church, and went unto Antiokia.

23 And after making some stay, he departed, passing in regular order through the Galatian district, and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples.

And when he had been there certain days, he went forth and itinerated successively through Phrygia and Galatia, confirming all the disciples.

24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, who was powerful in the Scriptures, had come to Ephesus.

And a certain man whose name was Apolu, a Jihudoya, who was by family of Aleksandria, and erudite in speech, and accurate in the scriptures, came to Ephesos.

25 He was instructed in the way of the Lord: and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught very diligently the things concerning the Lord, though knowing only the baptism of John.

This was discipled in the way of the Lord, and was fervid in spirit, and he spake and taught freely concerning Jeshu, while knowing not any thing but the baptism of Juhanon.

26 So this man began to speak with great boldness in the synagogue: but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him home with them, and more accurately expounded to him the way of the Lord.

And he began boldly to speak in the synagogue. And when Akilos and Priskila heard him, they brought him to their house, and fully showed to him the way of the Lord.

27 And when he wished to pass over to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him; who arriving, contributed much to confirm those who believed through grace.

And when he willed to go to Akaia, the brethren were careful of him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. And when he had gone he helped much, through grace, all the believers.

28 For he strenuously argued with the Jews in public, demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Messiah.

For he disputed forcibly against the Jihudoyee before the assemblies, while he showed from the scriptures concerning Jeshu, that he is the Meshiha.
