Acts 18
1 After that, Paul left Athens [city] and went to Corinth [city].
Після сього, покинувши Павел Атини, прийшов у Коринт,
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.
І, знайшовши одного Жидовина, на ймя Авкилу, родом Понтянина, тільки що прибувшого з Італиї, і Прискилу, жінку його (бо Клавдий повелїв, щоб усї Жиди вийшли з Риму), прийшов до них.
3 Those two made tents [to earn] ([money/a living]). Paul also made tents, so he stayed with them, and they all worked together.
А, бувши одного з ними ремесла, пробував у них і робив; були бо наметники по ремеслу.
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].
І розмовляв що-суботи в школї, і пересьвідчував Жидів і Єленян.
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.
Як же прийшов з Македониї Сила та Тимотей, був Павел спонукуваний духом, сьвідкуючи Жидам про Христа Ісуса.
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!”
Як же противились вони і хулили, струснувши він одежу, рече до них: кров ваша на голови ваші; я чистий; від нинї між погане йду.
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.
І, пійшовши звідтіля, прийшов у господу одного, на ймя Юста, що поклоняв ся Богу, котрого господа була обіч школи.
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].
Крисп же, шкільний старшина, увірував у Господа з усїм домом своїм, і многі з Коринтян, почувши, увірували, та й охрестились.
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,
Рече ж Господь у нічному видінню Павлу: Не бійся, тільки говори й не мовчи:
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.”
бо я з тобою, і ніхто не одважить ся тобі нїчого лихого заподіяти; бо в мене багато людей у сьому городі.
11 So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching people the message from God [about Jesus].
І пробував там рік і шість місяців, навчаючи між ними слова Божого.
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],
Як же старостував Галион в Ахаї, напали однодушне Жиди на Павла, та й повели його перед суд,
13 saying, “This man is teaching people [a false religion, leading them] to worship God in ways that are contrary to our [Jewish] laws.”
говорячи, що він намовляє людей проти закону шанувати Бога.
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].
Як же хотів Павел одкрити уста. каже Галион до Жидів: Жидове, коли б (тут була) кривда яка, або лихе діло, вислухав би я вас (до слова).
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!”
Коли ж (тут) питаннє про слово, та імена, та про закон ваш, то гледїть самі; суддею бо сього не хочу бути.
16 After Gallio [had said that], he [commanded some soldiers/guards] that [they] expel those [Jewish leaders] from the courtroom.
Та й повиганяв їх із судища.
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.
Тодї всі Єленяне, взявши Состена, шкільного старшину, били його перед судищем; та Галионові було про те байдуже.
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].
Павел же, пробувши там ще доволі днів, попрощавшись із братами, поплив у Сирию (а з ним Прискила й Авкила), остригши голову в Кинхреях; бо зробив був обітницю.
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.
Прибувши ж у Єфес, зоставив тих там, сам же, ввійшовши в школу, розмовляв з Жидами.
20 They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
Як же просили його, щоб довший час побув у них, не зволив,
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.
а попрощав ся з ними, говорячи: Притьмом мушу сьвято, що надходить, сьвяткувати в Єрусалимі; та вернусь знов до вас, коли буде воля Божа. І поплив з Єфесу.
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].
А прибувши в Кесарию, вступив (до Єрусалиму), і привитавши церкву, пійшов ув Антиохию.
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].
І, пробувши тут час якийсь, вийшов, проходячи рядом Галацьку сторону та Фригию, і утверджуючи всїх учеників.
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.
Один же Жидовин, на ймя Аполос, родом Александриєць, чоловік вимовний і сильний у писаннях, прийшов у Єфес.
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.
Сей був наставлений на путь Господень, і палаючи духом, промовляв і навчав пильно про Господа, знаючи тільки про хрещеннє Йоанове.
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].
І почав одважно говорити в школі. Слухаючи ж його Авкила та Прискила, прийняли його, і виложили йому доладнїщ путь Господень.
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].
Як же захотїв він перейти в Ахаю, писали брати ученикам, напоминаючи прийняти його; а він прибувши, много помагав тим, що увірували благодаттю;
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.
сильно бо обличав Жидів прилюдно, доводячи писаннями, що Ісус єсть Христос.
