< Acts 18 >
1 And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,
Xel bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri tinimit Atenas, xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Corinto.
2 and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and his wife Priscilla—because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome—he came to them,
Chilaꞌ xuriq wi jun achi aj Israel ubꞌiꞌ Aquila, we achi riꞌ xalax pa ri tinimit Ponto, rachiꞌl ri rixoqil ubꞌiꞌ Priscila, we jukꞌulaj winaq riꞌ xuꞌl pa ri tinimit Corinto kipetik pa Italia rumal pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ, ri taqanel Claudio César xtaqan chikesaxik loq konojel ri winaq aꞌj Israel ri e kꞌo pa Roma.
3 and because of being of the same craft, he remained with them, and was working, for they were tentmakers as to craft;
Ri Pablo xkanaj kan kukꞌ ri Aquila xuqujeꞌ ri Priscila jeriꞌ rumal junam uwach ri kichak, e bꞌanal taq carpas.
4 and he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Ronojel qꞌij rech uxlanem ri Pablo xeꞌ pa ri Sinagoga chutzijoxik ri utzij ri Dios chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ chike ri griegos.
5 And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;
Are xoꞌpan ri Silas rachiꞌl ri Timoteo pa ri tinimit Corinto kipetik pa ri tinimit Macedonia, ri Pablo are tajin karilij utzijoxik ri utzij ri Dios chike ri winaq, xuqꞌalajisaj chike chi ri Jesús are Mesías.
6 and on their resisting and slandering, having shaken [his] garments, he said to them, “Your blood [is] on your head—I am clean; from now on I will go on to the nations.”
Are kꞌu ri winaq aꞌj Israel man utz taj xkito, xkikꞌululaꞌj. Ri Pablo kꞌut xutota ri ulew ri kꞌo che ri ratzꞌyaq xubꞌij: Man numak ta chi in chiꞌwe we man kixkojonik, keꞌntzijoj chi na kꞌu waꞌ ri utzij ri Dios chike ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
7 And having departed from there, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,
Are xel bꞌik chilaꞌ xeꞌ cho rachoch jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Ticio Justo, kel chuxukut ri Sinagoga, ri Ticio jun achi man aj Israel taj ri kuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios.
8 and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue believed in the LORD with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being immersed.
Ri Crispo, kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri Sinagoga xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌo rukꞌ pa rachoch, xekojon che ri Ajawxel. E kꞌi xuqujeꞌ winaq aꞌj Corinto xekojonik are xkita ri utzij ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ xbꞌan kiqasanaꞌ.
9 And the LORD said through a vision in the night to Paul, “Do not be afraid, but be speaking and you may not be silent;
Jun chaqꞌabꞌil ri Dios xuchꞌabꞌej ri Pablo pa ri uwaram xubꞌij che: Makaxiꞌj ta awibꞌ chutzijoxik ri utzij ri Ajawxel jetaq ri abꞌanom loq.
10 because I am with you, and no one will set on you to do evil [to] you, because I have many people in this city”;
Maj jachin kabꞌanow kꞌax chawe rumal in kꞌo awukꞌ, e kꞌi winaq ri e kꞌo waral kekojon na chwe.
11 and he continued a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Ri Pablo xkanaj kan jun junabꞌ rukꞌ nikꞌaj pa ri tinimit riꞌ xukꞌut ri utzij ri Dios chikiwach ri winaq.
12 And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord on Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
E kꞌo kꞌu nikꞌaj winaq aꞌj Israel xewaꞌjil chrij ri Pablo xkikꞌam bꞌik cho ri qꞌatal tzij Galión, taqanel pa Acaya che taq ri qꞌij riꞌ.
13 saying, “This one persuades men to worship God against the Law”;
Xkitzujuj ri Pablo chi tajin kuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri winaq chuqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios pa jun bꞌeal ri man kubꞌij ta ri taqanik.
14 and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked recklessness, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,
Ri Pablo kꞌut xuchapleꞌj utoꞌik ribꞌ, ri Galión xubꞌij chike ri winaq tzujunelabꞌ: Chitampe na achyabꞌ winaq aꞌj Israel, we ta qas nimaꞌt ri kubꞌan we achi riꞌ, kumajo kinqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ.
15 but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look [to it] yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things,”
Xa kꞌu we xaq tzij, bꞌiꞌaj, rech ri itaqanik ix winaq aꞌj Israel, ri kutzijoj, chiwila ix jas kibꞌan che. Man kawaj ta in kinqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ we jastaq riꞌ.
16 and he drives them from the judgment seat;
Xeꞌresaj kꞌu loq pa ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij.
17 and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the judgment seat, and Gallio was not even caring for these things.
Ri winaq kꞌut xkichap ri Sóstenes, kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri Sinagoga, xkichꞌey chilaꞌ pa ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij, ri Galión maj jas xubꞌij chike.
18 And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brothers, was sailing to Syria—and with him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas—having shorn [his] head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;
Ri Pablo kꞌut xkanaj kan kꞌi qꞌij pa ri tinimit Corinto, kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌya kan ri kojonelabꞌ ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ, xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Cencrea, man naj ta kꞌo wi che ri tinimit Corinto. Chilaꞌ xusakꞌij wi ronojel ri uwiꞌ jetaq ri naqꞌatajibꞌal ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel retal chi kubꞌan na jun jastaq ri utzujum ubꞌanik, kꞌa te riꞌ xuꞌkam bꞌik ri Priscila rachiꞌl ri Aquila xebꞌe pa ri tinimit Siria.
19 and he came down to Ephesus, and left them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue reasoned with the Jews:
Xiꞌkꞌow kꞌu na bꞌik chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ pa ri tinimit Éfeso, xuꞌya kan nikꞌaj winaq chilaꞌ, xuqujeꞌ xeꞌ na pa ri Sinagoga xtzijon kukꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
20 and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,
Ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkibꞌochiꞌj ri Pablo kakanaj kan kukꞌ kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij chi na. Man xraj ta kꞌut.
21 but took leave of them, saying, “It is necessary for me by all means to keep the coming celebration at Jerusalem, and again I will return to you—God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus,
Are kꞌu jubꞌiqꞌ karaj keꞌek, xubꞌij kan chike: We karaj ri Dios, kintzalij la waꞌ. Xel kꞌu bꞌik pa ri tinimit Éfeso.
22 and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having greeted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
Xikꞌow xuqujeꞌ bꞌik chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ rech ri tinimit Cesarea, kꞌa te riꞌ xpaqiꞌk xuꞌsolij kan ri komontyox ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Jerusalén. Kꞌa te riꞌ xtzalij pa ri tinimit Antioquía.
23 And having stayed some time, he went forth, going successively through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Are xtoꞌtaj bꞌik pa ri Antioquía, xikꞌow bꞌik pa Galacia, xuqujeꞌ pa Frigia, xuꞌsolij xuqujeꞌ xuꞌtaqchiꞌj kan ri kojonelabꞌ rech kejeqiꞌk pa ri kikojobꞌal. Ri Apolos kutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios pa Éfeso
24 And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus;
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ xopan jun achi aj Israel pa ri tinimit Éfeso ubꞌiꞌ Apolos, we achi riꞌ upetik pa ri tinimit Alejandría rech Egipto. Sibꞌalaj kanaꞌwik kachꞌawik, xuqujeꞌ retaꞌm ri utzij ri Dios.
25 this one was instructed in the way of the LORD, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the LORD, knowing only the immersion of John;
Kꞌuttal choch ri kꞌutuꞌn rech ri Ajawxel. Xuya mayijabꞌal kꞌutuꞌn rech ri Jesús chike ri winaq, xaq xwi kꞌu retaꞌm ri qasanaꞌ ri xubꞌan ri Juan.
26 this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them], and more exactly set forth to him The Way of God,
Ri Priscila rachiꞌl ri Aquila are xkito tajin kutzijoj ri utzij ri Dios pa ri Sinagoga rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ, xkisikꞌij utukel xkibꞌij che ri ubꞌel usukꞌ ri utzij ri Dios.
27 and he resolving to go through into Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, helped them much who have believed through grace,
Kꞌa te riꞌ ri Apolos xuchomaj keꞌ pa Acaya, ri alaxik kojonelabꞌ xkitaqchiꞌj rech keꞌek. Xkitaq bꞌik jun wuj chike ri kojonelabꞌ ri keꞌl pa Acaya, xkitzꞌibꞌaj chike chi we xopan ri Apolos utz kibꞌana chukꞌamawaꞌxik. Ri Apolos are xopanik, sibꞌalaj kꞌo xutayij chike ri kojonelabꞌ ri e kojoninaq rumal ri utoqꞌobꞌ ri Dios.
28 for he was powerfully refuting the Jews publicly, showing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
Xretzelaj uwach ri kichomabꞌal ri winaq aꞌj Israel, chikiwach konojel ri winaq. Xukoj ri wuj tzꞌibꞌatalik chuqꞌalajisaxik chikiwach chi ri Jesús are Mesías.
