Acts 18
1 After that, Paul left Athens [city] and went to Corinth [city].
随后保罗离开雅典，来到哥林多，
2 There he met a Jew whose name was Aquila, who grew up in Pontus [province]. Aquila and his wife Priscilla had recently come from [Rome, in] Italy. [They had previously left Rome] because Claudius, [the Roman Emperor], had ordered that all the Jews must leave Rome. Paul later went to see Aquila and Priscilla.
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 Those two made tents [to earn] ([money/a living]). Paul also made tents, so he stayed with them, and they all worked together.
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 Every Sabbath, Paul [went] to the Jewish meeting place, where he spoke forcefully to both Jews and non-Jews. He repeatedly tried to persuade them [that Jesus is the Messiah].
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 Then Silas and Timothy arrived there from Macedonia province. After they arrived, Paul [did not make tents any more. He] used all his time preaching [the message about Jesus in the Jewish meeting place]. He continued to tell the Jews [that] the Messiah they had been waiting for was Jesus.
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 the Jews began to oppose Paul and to say evil things about him. So he shook [the dust from] his clothes [to show them that they were displeasing God. Then] he said to them, “If God punishes you, it will be your [SYN] own fault [MTY], not mine! From now on I will go [and preach] to non-Jewish people!”
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 So Paul left [the Jewish meeting place] and went into a house that was next to it, [and preached there]. Titius Justus, the owner of the house, was a non-Jewish man who had accepted what the Jews believe.
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 [After that], the ruler of the Jewish meeting place, [whose name was] Crispus, and all of his family [MTY] believed in the Lord [Jesus]. Many other people in Corinth who listened [to Paul] also believed [in Jesus]. Then they were baptized. [But there were people who still opposed Paul and his preaching].
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 One night Paul had a vision in which the Lord [Jesus] said to him, “Do not be afraid [of those who oppose you]. Instead, you should continue speaking [to people about me]. Do not stop,
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 [will help] you, and no one will be able to harm you [(sg) here. Keep telling people about me], because there are many in this city who will [believe in] me.”
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 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching people the message from God [about Jesus].
保罗在那里住了一年零六个月，想向众人传授上帝之道。
12 When Gallio was the [Roman] governor of Achaia [province], the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there got together and seized Paul. They took him before Gallio [and accused him],
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 is teaching people [a false religion, leading them] to worship God in ways that are contrary to our [Jewish] laws.”
说：“此人劝大家以违反律法的方式敬拜上帝。”
14 When Paul was about to speak [MTY] [to defend himself], Gallio said to the Jews, “If this man had acted deceitfully or disobeyed [any of our Roman] laws, I would listen [patiently] to what you Jews [want to tell me].
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 However, you are merely arguing about words and names and your own [Jewish] laws, so you yourselves need to resolve this. I refuse to judge these 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 After Gallio [had said that], he [commanded some soldiers/guards] that [they] expel those [Jewish leaders] from the courtroom.
说罢，迦流就把他们从法院赶了出去。
17 Then [the mob outside] grabbed the leader of the Jewish meeting place, Sosthenes [because they considered that he was responsible for those accusations against Paul]. They beat him, right there in front of the courthouse. But Gallio did nothing about it.
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 Paul stayed on with the believers in Corinth for (many days/some time). Then he left the believers there, and went with Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila. They went down to Cenchrea, [a port city]. There Paul had his head shaved {[someone] shave his head} in order to partially complete a vow that he had taken. Then they got on a ship and sailed for Syria [province].
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 They arrived at Ephesus [city], and Priscilla and Aquila stayed there. [Before Paul left Ephesus], he entered the Jewish meeting place and lectured to 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 They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
众人请他多住一段时间，但被他拒绝了。
21 But, as he left, he told them, “I will come back, if God wills/desires [me to do that].” Then, [because he wanted to be in Jerusalem to finish completing his vow], he got on [a ship that] sailed 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 When the ship arrived at Caesarea, Paul [got off. He] went up [to Jerusalem] and greeted the believers there. Then he went back down to Antioch [city in Syria province].
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 Paul spent some time [with the believers] there. Then he left Antioch and traveled to several towns [that he had visited previously] in Galatia and Phrygia [provinces]. He taught all of the believers more [of the message from God about Jesus].
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 [While Paul was traveling in Galatia and Phrygia], a Jewish man whose name was Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria [city]. He [spoke eloquently] and he knew the Scriptures thoroughly.
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 [Other believers] had taught him [some things] about how the Lord [Jesus desires that people] should conduct themselves, and he taught those things very enthusiastically [to people. He had heard about] some of the things that Jesus did and said, and he taught those facts accurately [to people. However, he was teaching incompletely about Jesus, because] he knew only what John [the Baptizer had taught people whom he] baptized.
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 Apollos went to the Jewish meeting place, and he told the people there very confidently the things that he had learned. When Priscilla and Aquila heard what Apollos taught, they invited him [to their home]. There they explained more accurately to him the way [that] God [gives people eternal life].
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 When Apollos decided that he would like to go to Achaia [province], the believers in Ephesus told him that it would be good for him to do that. So they wrote a letter to the believers [in Achaia saying that they] should welcome Apollos. [So Apollos got on a ship to go to Corinth]. After he arrived, he greatly helped those whom [God] had kindly enabled to believe [in Jesus].
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 Apollos was vigorously arguing publicly with [the leaders of] the Jews while many other people listened. [By quoting] from the Scriptures, he proved to people that Jesus was the Messiah.
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。
