Acts 18
1 AND when Paulos had gone forth from Athinos, he came unto Kurinthos.
After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
2 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:
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,
3 (and) because he was a son of their art, he dwelt with them and wrought with them: but in their art they were tentmakers.
and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 And he discoursed in the synagogue every shabath, and persuaded the Jihudoyee and the Heathens.
He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 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.
When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Yeshua was the Messiah.
6 And he shook his garments and said to them, From now I am clean: I go unto the Gentiles.
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 Gentiles!”
7 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.
He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 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.
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were immersed.
9 And the Lord said in a vision unto Paulos, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;
The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;
10 for I am with thee, and no man can do thee harm; and I have much people in this city.
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
11 But he abode a year and six months in Kurinthos, and taught them the word of Aloha.
He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 AND when Galion was proconsul of Akaia, they gathered together against Paulos, and brought him before the tribunal,
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 saying, This (man) part from the law persuadeth men to worship Aloha.
saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 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;
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;
15 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.
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
16 And he drove them from his tribunal.
So he drove them from the judgment seat.
17 And all the Heathens seized Sosthenis the presbyter of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Galion was careless of these.
Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
18 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.
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.
19 And they came to Ephesos. And Paulos entered the synagogue and discoursed with the Jihudoyee;
He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 and they requested of him to tarry with them; and he was not willing;
When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
21 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;
but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 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.
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
23 And when he had been there certain days, he went forth and itinerated successively through Phrygia and Galatia, confirming all the disciples.
Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
24 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.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 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.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Yeshua, although he knew only the immersion of Yochanan.
26 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.
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.
27 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.
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;
28 For he disputed forcibly against the Jihudoyee before the assemblies, while he showed from the scriptures concerning Jeshu, that he is the Meshiha.
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Yeshua was the Messiah.
