AFTER these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;

2 tasmin samayE klaudiyaH sarvvAn yihUdIyAn rOmAnagaraM vihAya gantum AjnjApayat, tasmAt priskillAnAmnA jAyayA sArddham itAliyAdEzAt kinjcitpUrvvam Agamat yaH pantadEzE jAta AkkilanAmA yihUdIyalOkaH paulastaM sAkSAt prApya tayOH samIpamitavAn|

And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome: ) and came unto them.

3 tau dUSyanirmmANajIvinau, tasmAt parasparam EkavRttikatvAt sa tAbhyAM saha uSitvA tat karmmAkarOt|

And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

4 paulaH prativizrAmavAraM bhajanabhavanaM gatvA vicAraM kRtvA yihUdIyAn anyadEzIyAMzca pravRttiM grAhitavAn|

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

5 sIlatImathiyayO rmAkidaniyAdEzAt samEtayOH satOH paula uttaptamanA bhUtvA yIzurIzvarENAbhiSiktO bhavatIti pramANaM yihUdIyAnAM samIpE prAdAt|

And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

6 kintu tE 'tIva virOdhaM vidhAya pASaNPIyakathAM kathitavantastataH paulO vastraM dhunvan EtAM kathAM kathitavAn, yuSmAkaM zONitapAtAparAdhO yuSmAn pratyEva bhavatu, tEnAhaM niraparAdhO 'dyArabhya bhinnadEzIyAnAM samIpaM yAmi|

And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

7 sa tasmAt prasthAya bhajanabhavanasamIpasthasya yustanAmna Izvarabhaktasya bhinnadEzIyasya nivEzanaM prAvizat|

And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

8 tataH krISpanAmA bhajanabhavanAdhipatiH saparivAraH prabhau vyazvasIt, karinthanagarIyA bahavO lOkAzca samAkarNya vizvasya majjitA abhavan|

And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

9 kSaNadAyAM prabhuH paulaM darzanaM datvA bhASitavAn, mA bhaiSIH, mA nirasIH kathAM pracAraya|

Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

10 ahaM tvayA sArddham Asa hiMsArthaM kOpi tvAM spraSTuM na zakSyati nagarE'smin madIyA lOkA bahava AsatE|

For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.

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

12 gAlliyanAmA kazcid AkhAyAdEzasya prAPvivAkaH samabhavat, tatO yihUdIyA EkavAkyAH santaH paulam Akramya vicArasthAnaM nItvA

And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

13 mAnuSa ESa vyavasthAya viruddham IzvarabhajanaM karttuM lOkAn kupravRttiM grAhayatIti nivEditavantaH|

Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

14 tataH paulE pratyuttaraM dAtum udyatE sati gAlliyA yihUdIyAn vyAharat, yadi kasyacid anyAyasya vAtizayaduSTatAcaraNasya vicArO'bhaviSyat tarhi yuSmAkaM kathA mayA sahanIyAbhaviSyat|

And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

15 kintu yadi kEvalaM kathAyA vA nAmnO vA yuSmAkaM vyavasthAyA vivAdO bhavati tarhi tasya vicAramahaM na kariSyAmi, yUyaM tasya mImAMsAM kuruta|

But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

16 tataH sa tAn vicArasthAnAd dUrIkRtavAn|

And he drave them from the judgment seat.

17 tadA bhinnadEzIyAH sOsthininAmAnaM bhajanabhavanasya pradhAnAdhipatiM dhRtvA vicArasthAnasya sammukhE prAharan tathApi gAlliyA tESu sarvvakarmmasu na manO nyadadhAt|

Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.

18 paulastatra punarbahudinAni nyavasat, tatO bhrAtRgaNAd visarjanaM prApya kinjcanavratanimittaM kiMkriyAnagarE zirO muNPayitvA priskillAkkilAbhyAM sahitO jalapathEna suriyAdEzaM gatavAn|

And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

19 tata iphiSanagara upasthAya tatra tau visRjya svayaM bhajanabhvanaM pravizya yihUdIyaiH saha vicAritavAn|

And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

20 tE svaiH sArddhaM punaH katipayadinAni sthAtuM taM vyanayan, sa tadanurarIkRtya kathAmEtAM kathitavAn,

When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;

21 yirUzAlami AgAmyutsavapAlanArthaM mayA gamanIyaM; pazcAd IzvarEcchAyAM jAtAyAM yuSmAkaM samIpaM pratyAgamiSyAmi| tataH paraM sa tai rvisRSTaH san jalapathEna iphiSanagarAt prasthitavAn|

But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

22 tataH kaisariyAm upasthitaH san nagaraM gatvA samAjaM namaskRtya tasmAd AntiyakhiyAnagaraM prasthitavAn|

And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.

23 tatra kiyatkAlaM yApayitvA tasmAt prasthAya sarvvESAM ziSyANAM manAMsi susthirANi kRtvA kramazO galAtiyAphrugiyAdEzayO rbhramitvA gatavAn|

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

24 tasminnEva samayE sikandariyAnagarE jAta ApallOnAmA zAstravit suvaktA yihUdIya EkO jana iphiSanagaram AgatavAn|

And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

25 sa zikSitaprabhumArgO manasOdyOgI ca san yOhanO majjanamAtraM jnjAtvA yathArthatayA prabhOH kathAM kathayan samupAdizat|

This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

26 ESa janO nirbhayatvEna bhajanabhavanE kathayitum ArabdhavAn, tataH priskillAkkilau tasyOpadEzakathAM nizamya taM svayOH samIpam AnIya zuddharUpENEzvarasya kathAm abOdhayatAm|

And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

27 pazcAt sa AkhAyAdEzaM gantuM matiM kRtavAn, tadA tatratyaH ziSyagaNO yathA taM gRhlAti tadarthaM bhrAtRgaNEna samAzvasya patrE likhitE sati, ApallAstatrOpasthitaH san anugrahENa pratyayinAM bahUpakArAn akarOt,

And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

28 phalatO yIzurabhiSiktastrAtEti zAstrapramANaM datvA prakAzarUpENa pratipannaM kRtvA yihUdIyAn niruttarAn kRtavAn|

For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
