Actuum Apostolorum 18
1 Post haec egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:
After these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 et inveniens quemdam Iudaeum nomine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, qui nuper venerat ab Italia, et Priscillam uxorem eius, (eo quod praecepisset Claudius discedere omnes Iudaeos a Roma) accessit ad eos.
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,
3 Et quia eiusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur: (erant autem scenofactoriae artis.)
and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
4 Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Iesu, suadebatque Iudaeis, et Graecis.
So Paul reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath. He persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
5 Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Iudaeis esse Christum Iesum.
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.
6 Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego, ex hoc ad Gentes vadam.
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.”
7 Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cuiusdam, nomine Titi Iusti, colentis Deum, cuius domus erat coniuncta synagogae.
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.
8 Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.
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.
9 Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:
The Lord said to Paul in the night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent.
10 propter quod ego sum tecum: et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.
For I am with you, and no one will try to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
11 Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.
Paul lived there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 Gallione autem proconsule Achaiae, insurrexerunt uno animo Iudaei in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,
But when Gallio became governor of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat;
13 dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.
they said, “This man persuades people to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Iudaeos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid, aut facinus pessimum o viri Iudaei, recte vos sustinerem.
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.
15 Si vero quaestiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, legis vestrae, vos ipsi videritis: Iudex ego horum nolo esse.
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.”
16 Et minavit eos a tribunali.
Gallio made them leave the judgment seat.
17 Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogae, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curae erat.
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.
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.
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.
19 Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Iudaeis.
When they came to Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,
When they asked Paul to stay a longer time, he declined.
21 sed valefaciens, et dicens, Iterum revertar ad vos Deo volente, profectus est ab Epheso.
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.
22 Et descendens Caesaream, ascendit, et salutavit Ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.
When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the Jerusalem church and then went down to Antioch.
23 Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galatiam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.
After having spent some time there, Paul departed and went through the regions of Galatia and Phrygia and strengthened all the disciples.
24 Iudaeus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, came to Ephesus. He was eloquent in speech and mighty in the scriptures.
25 Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea, quae sunt Iesu, sciens tantum baptisma Ioannis.
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.
26 Hic ergo coepit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.
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.
27 Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his, qui crediderant.
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.
28 Vehementer enim Iudaeos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas, esse Christum Iesum.
Apollos powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, showing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
