1 Post hæc egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:
And after these things Paul having separated from Athens, he came to Corinth.
2 et inveniens quemdam Iudæum nomine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, qui nuper venerat ab Italia, et Priscillam uxorem eius, (eo quod præcepisset Claudius discedere omnes Iudæos a Roma) accessit ad eos.
And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by origin, who recently came from Italy, and his wife Priscilla, because Claudius arranged for all the Jews to separate from Rome, he came to them.
3 Et quia eiusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur: (erant autem scenofactoriæ artis.)
And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and was working, for they were of the tentmakers craft.
4 Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Iesu, suadebatque Iudæis, et Græcis.
And he was discoursing in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading Jews and Greeks.
5 Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Iudæis esse Christum Iesum.
And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was being held by the Spirit, fully testifying to the Jews, Jesus the Christ.
6 Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego, ex hoc ad Gentes vadam.
But when they opposed and slandered him, having shaken out his clothes, he said to them, Your blood is upon your heads. I am clean. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
7 Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cuiusdam, nomine Titi Iusti, colentis Deum, cuius domus erat coniuncta synagogæ.
And having departed from there, he went into the house of a certain man named Justus, who worships God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.
8 Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.
And Crispus, the synagogue ruler, believed in the Lord with his whole household, and many of the Corinthians who heard believed, and were immersed.
9 Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:
And the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision at night, Fear not, but speak, and be not silent,
10 propter quod ego sum tecum: et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.
because I am with thee, and no man will lay upon thee to harm thee, because many people are for me in this city.
11 Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.
And he remained a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Gallione autem proconsule Achaiæ, insurrexerunt uno animo Iudæi in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,
But Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord attacked Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,
13 dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.
saying, This man is persuading men to worship God against the law.
14 Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Iudæos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid, aut facinus pessimum o viri Iudæi, recte vos sustinerem.
But when Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If therefore indeed it were some crime or evil reckless deed, O ye Jews, I would have tolerated you according to the matter.
15 Si vero quæstiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, et lege vestra, vos ipsi videritis: Iudex ego horum nolo esse.
But if it is an issue about a word and names and the law from you, look ye yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things.
16 Et minavit eos a tribunali.
And he drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogæ, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curæ erat.
But all the Greeks, having taken Sosthenes the synagogue ruler, were beating him in front of the judgment seat. And Gallio was not going to judge, even of these things.
18 Paulus vero cum adhuc sustinuisset dies multos, fratribus valefaciens, navigavit in Syriam, (et cum eo Priscilla, et Aquila) qui sibi totonderat in Cenchris caput: habebat enim votum.
But Paul, who still remained considerable days with the brothers, having separated, sailed away to Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shaved his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow.
19 Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Iudæis.
And he came to Ephesus and left behind those there, but having entered into the synagogue himself, he discoursed with the Jews.
20 Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,
And when they asked him to remain on more time with them, he did not consent,
21 sed valefaciens, et dicens, Iterum revertar ad vos Deo volente, profectus est ab Epheso.
but separated from them, having said, I must definitely keep the coming feast at Jerusalem, but I will return again to you, God willing. And he launched from Ephesus.
22 Et descendens Cæsaream, ascendit, et salutavit Ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.
And after coming down to Caesarea, having gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galaticam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.
And after spending some time, he departed, passing through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, successively, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Iudæus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by origin, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, being mighty in the scriptures.
25 Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea, quæ sunt Iesu, sciens tantum baptisma Ioannis.
This was a man who was instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in the Spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about the Lord, knowing only the immersion of John.
26 Hic ergo cœpit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.
And this man began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside, and expounded to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his, qui crediderant.
And when he intended to pass through into Achaia, the brothers wrote, having encouraged the disciples to receive him, who, when he arrived, assisted much those who believed through the grace.
28 Vehementer enim Iudæos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas, esse Christum Iesum.
For he forcibly refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the scriptures Jesus to be the Christ.
