Acts 18
1 After these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
tadghaṭanātaḥ paraṁ paula āthīnīnagarād yātrāṁ kṛtvā karinthanagaram āgacchat|
2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to them,
tasmin samaye klaudiyaḥ sarvvān yihūdīyān romānagaraṁ vihāya gantum ājñāpayat, tasmāt priskillānāmnā jāyayā sārddham itāliyādeśāt kiñcitpūrvvam āgamat yaḥ pantadeśe jāta ākkilanāmā yihūdīyalokaḥ paulastaṁ sākṣāt prāpya tayoḥ samīpamitavān|
3 and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
tau dūṣyanirmmāṇajīvinau, tasmāt parasparam ekavṛttikatvāt sa tābhyāṁ saha uṣitvā tat karmmākarot|
4 So Paul reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath. He persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
paulaḥ prativiśrāmavāraṁ bhajanabhavanaṁ gatvā vicāraṁ kṛtvā yihūdīyān anyadeśīyāṁśca pravṛttiṁ grāhitavān|
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit to testify to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
sīlatīmathiyayo rmākidaniyādeśāt sametayoḥ satoḥ paula uttaptamanā bhūtvā yīśurīśvareṇābhiṣikto bhavatīti pramāṇaṁ yihūdīyānāṁ samīpe prādāt|
6 When the Jews opposed and insulted him, Paul shook out his garment at them and said to them, “May your blood be upon your own heads; I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
kintu te 'tīva virodhaṁ vidhāya pāṣaṇḍīyakathāṁ kathitavantastataḥ paulo vastraṁ dhunvan etāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān, yuṣmākaṁ śoṇitapātāparādho yuṣmān pratyeva bhavatu, tenāhaṁ niraparādho 'dyārabhya bhinnadeśīyānāṁ samīpaṁ yāmi|
7 Then he left from there and went to the house of Titius Justus, a man who worshiped God. His house was next to the synagogue.
sa tasmāt prasthāya bhajanabhavanasamīpasthasya yustanāmna īśvarabhaktasya bhinnadeśīyasya niveśanaṁ prāviśat|
8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all those who lived in his house; and many of the Corinthians who heard about it believed and were baptized.
tataḥ krīṣpanāmā bhajanabhavanādhipatiḥ saparivāraḥ prabhau vyaśvasīt, karinthanagarīyā bahavo lokāśca samākarṇya viśvasya majjitā abhavan|
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent.
kṣaṇadāyāṁ prabhuḥ paulaṁ darśanaṁ datvā bhāṣitavān, mā bhaiṣīḥ, mā nirasīḥ kathāṁ pracāraya|
10 For I am with you, and no one will try to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
ahaṁ tvayā sārddham āsa hiṁsārthaṁ kopi tvāṁ spraṣṭuṁ na śakṣyati nagare'smin madīyā lokā bahava āsate|
11 Paul lived there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
tasmāt paulastannagare prāyeṇa sārddhavatsaraparyyantaṁ saṁsthāyeśvarasya kathām upādiśat|
12 But when Gallio became governor of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat;
gālliyanāmā kaścid ākhāyādeśasya prāḍvivākaḥ samabhavat, tato yihūdīyā ekavākyāḥ santaḥ paulam ākramya vicārasthānaṁ nītvā
13 they said, “This man persuades people to worship God contrary to the law.”
mānuṣa eṣa vyavasthāya viruddham īśvarabhajanaṁ karttuṁ lokān kupravṛttiṁ grāhayatīti niveditavantaḥ|
14 Yet when Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “You Jews, if indeed it were a matter of wrong or a crime, it would be reasonable to deal with you.
tataḥ paule pratyuttaraṁ dātum udyate sati gālliyā yihūdīyān vyāharat, yadi kasyacid anyāyasya vātiśayaduṣṭatācaraṇasya vicāro'bhaviṣyat tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kathā mayā sahanīyābhaviṣyat|
15 But since these are questions about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I do not wish to be a judge of these matters.”
kintu yadi kevalaṁ kathāyā vā nāmno vā yuṣmākaṁ vyavasthāyā vivādo bhavati tarhi tasya vicāramahaṁ na kariṣyāmi, yūyaṁ tasya mīmāṁsāṁ kuruta|
16 Gallio made them leave the judgment seat.
tataḥ sa tān vicārasthānād dūrīkṛtavān|
17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio did not care what they did.
tadā bhinnadeśīyāḥ sosthinināmānaṁ bhajanabhavanasya pradhānādhipatiṁ dhṛtvā vicārasthānasya sammukhe prāharan tathāpi gālliyā teṣu sarvvakarmmasu na mano nyadadhāt|
18 Paul, after staying there for many more days, left the brothers and sailed for Syria with Priscilla and Aquila. Before he left the seaport, Cenchrea, he had his hair cut off because of a vow he had taken.
paulastatra punarbahudināni nyavasat, tato bhrātṛgaṇād visarjanaṁ prāpya kiñcanavratanimittaṁ kiṁkriyānagare śiro muṇḍayitvā priskillākkilābhyāṁ sahito jalapathena suriyādeśaṁ gatavān|
19 When they came to Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
tata iphiṣanagara upasthāya tatra tau visṛjya svayaṁ bhajanabhvanaṁ praviśya yihūdīyaiḥ saha vicāritavān|
20 When they asked Paul to stay a longer time, he declined.
te svaiḥ sārddhaṁ punaḥ katipayadināni sthātuṁ taṁ vyanayan, sa tadanurarīkṛtya kathāmetāṁ kathitavān,
21 But taking his leave of them, he said, “I will return again to you if it is God's will.” He then set sail from Ephesus.
yirūśālami āgāmyutsavapālanārthaṁ mayā gamanīyaṁ; paścād īśvarecchāyāṁ jātāyāṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ pratyāgamiṣyāmi| tataḥ paraṁ sa tai rvisṛṣṭaḥ san jalapathena iphiṣanagarāt prasthitavān|
22 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the Jerusalem church and then went down to Antioch.
tataḥ kaisariyām upasthitaḥ san nagaraṁ gatvā samājaṁ namaskṛtya tasmād āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ prasthitavān|
23 After having spent some time there, Paul departed and went through the regions of Galatia and Phrygia and strengthened all the disciples.
tatra kiyatkālaṁ yāpayitvā tasmāt prasthāya sarvveṣāṁ śiṣyāṇāṁ manāṁsi susthirāṇi kṛtvā kramaśo galātiyāphrugiyādeśayo rbhramitvā gatavān|
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, came to Ephesus. He was eloquent in speech and mighty in the scriptures.
tasminneva samaye sikandariyānagare jāta āpallonāmā śāstravit suvaktā yihūdīya eko jana iphiṣanagaram āgatavān|
25 Apollos had been instructed in the teachings of the Lord. Being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, but he knew only the baptism of John.
sa śikṣitaprabhumārgo manasodyogī ca san yohano majjanamātraṁ jñātvā yathārthatayā prabhoḥ kathāṁ kathayan samupādiśat|
26 Apollos 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.
eṣa jano nirbhayatvena bhajanabhavane kathayitum ārabdhavān, tataḥ priskillākkilau tasyopadeśakathāṁ niśamya taṁ svayoḥ samīpam ānīya śuddharūpeṇeśvarasya kathām abodhayatām|
27 When he desired to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples in Achaia to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who believed by grace.
paścāt sa ākhāyādeśaṁ gantuṁ matiṁ kṛtavān, tadā tatratyaḥ śiṣyagaṇo yathā taṁ gṛhlāti tadarthaṁ bhrātṛgaṇena samāśvasya patre likhite sati, āpallāstatropasthitaḥ san anugraheṇa pratyayināṁ bahūpakārān akarot,
28 Apollos powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, showing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
phalato yīśurabhiṣiktastrāteti śāstrapramāṇaṁ datvā prakāśarūpeṇa pratipannaṁ kṛtvā yihūdīyān niruttarān kṛtavān|
