Acts 18

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.

AND when Paulos had gone forth from Athinos, he came unto Kurinthos.

2 And finding there a certain Jew, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who was lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because Claudius Cesar had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he went to them;

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:

3 and as he was of the same trade, he staid and worked with them: for they were tent-makers.

(and) because he was a son of their art, he dwelt with them and wrought with them: but in their art they were tentmakers.

4 And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

And he discoursed in the synagogue every shabath, and persuaded the Jihudoyee and the Heathens.

5 And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was very urgent in spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.

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.

6 But as they opposed and blasphemed, he shook his garment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clear of it: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.

And he shook his garments and said to them, From now I am clean: I go unto the Gentiles.

7 And departing thence, he went to the house of one named Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue.

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.

8 But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing the word believed, and were baptized.

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.

9 And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, "Fear not, but speak: and be not silent:

And the Lord said in a vision unto Paulos, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;

10 for I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city."

for I am with thee, and no man can do thee harm; and I have much people in this city.

11 And he staid a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.

But he abode a year and six months in Kurinthos, and taught them the word of Aloha.

12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose against Paul, and brought him to the seat of justice,

AND when Galion was proconsul of Akaia, they gathered together against Paulos, and brought him before the tribunal,

13 saying, this fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

saying, This (man) part from the law persuadeth men to worship Aloha.

14 And when Paul was going to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were indeed an act of injustice, or some wicked crime, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you.

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;

15 But if it be a question about words, and names, and your law, settle it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.

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.

16 And he ordered them away from the tribunal.

And he drove them from his tribunal.

17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him even before the tribunal: but Gallio did not concern himself about the matter.

And all the Heathens seized Sosthenis the presbyter of the synagogue, and beat him before the tribunal. And Galion was careless of these.

18 And after Paul had staid there yet a considerable time, he took leave of the brethren, and sailed from thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head at Cenchrea; for he had a vow.

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.

19 And he came to Esphesus, and left them there: but before his departure he himself went into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

And they came to Ephesos. And Paulos entered the synagogue and discoursed with the Jihudoyee;

20 Though when they desired him to stay longer with them, he did not consent: but took his leave of them,

and they requested of him to tarry with them; and he was not willing;

21 saying, I must by all means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. So he sailed from Ephesus;

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;

22 and landing at Cesarea, went up to Jerusalem, and after he had saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

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.

23 And when he had spent some time there, he departed, and went in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia strengthening all the disciples.

And when he had been there certain days, he went forth and itinerated successively through Phrygia and Galatia, confirming all the disciples.

24 Now there came to Ephesus a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures.

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.

25 Who had been instructed in the way of our Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught clearly the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.

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.

26 And as he began to speak openly in the synagogue, Aquila and Priscilla heard him and took him home, and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.

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.

27 And as he was inclined to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples exhorting them to receive him: who when he arrived, was very helpful to those who had believed through grace.

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.

28 For he disputed vehemently with the Jews in public, proving by the scriptures, that Jesus was the Christ.

For he disputed forcibly against the Jihudoyee before the assemblies, while he showed from the scriptures concerning Jeshu, that he is the Meshiha.
