< Acts 18 >

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
Xel bꞌik ri Pablo pa ri tinimit Atenas, xeꞌ pa ri tinimit Corinto.
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from 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 he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Ri Pablo xkanaj kan kukꞌ ri Aquila xuqujeꞌ ri Priscila jeriꞌ rumal junam uwach ri kichak, e bꞌanal taq carpas.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded 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 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was 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 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people."
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 He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to 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 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
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 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do 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 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for 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 He lived there 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 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before 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 people to worship God contrary to the law."
Xkitzujuj ri Pablo chi tajin kuꞌtaqchiꞌj ri winaq chuqꞌijilaꞌxik ri Dios pa jun bꞌeal ri man kubꞌij ta ri taqanik.
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear 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 they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."
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 He drove them from the judgment seat.
Xeꞌresaj kꞌu loq pa ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij.
17 Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.
Ri winaq kꞌut xkichap ri Sóstenes, kꞌamal bꞌe pa ri Sinagoga, xkichꞌey chilaꞌ pa ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij, ri Galión maj jas xubꞌij chike.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, 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 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and 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 When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
Ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkibꞌochiꞌj ri Pablo kakanaj kan kukꞌ kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij chi na. Man xraj ta kꞌut.
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail 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 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and 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 Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, 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 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
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 man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism 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 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
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 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had 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 powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was 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.
