preritāḥ 18

1 tadghaṭanātaḥ paraṁ paula āthīnīnagarād yātrāṁ kṛtvā karinthanagaram āgacchat|

After these thinges, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinthus,

2 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|

And found a certaine Iewe named Aquila, borne in Pontus, lately come from Italie, and his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Iewes to depart from Rome) and he came vnto them.

3 tau dūṣyanirmmāṇajīvinau, tasmāt parasparam ekavṛttikatvāt sa tābhyāṁ saha uṣitvā tat karmmākarot|

And because hee was of the same crafte, he abode with them and wrought (for their crafte was to make tentes.)

4 paulaḥ prativiśrāmavāraṁ bhajanabhavanaṁ gatvā vicāraṁ kṛtvā yihūdīyān anyadeśīyāṁśca pravṛttiṁ grāhitavān|

And he disputed in the Synagogue euery Sabbath day, and exhorted the Iewes, and the Grecians.

5 sīlatīmathiyayo rmākidaniyādeśāt sametayoḥ satoḥ paula uttaptamanā bhūtvā yīśurīśvareṇābhiṣikto bhavatīti pramāṇaṁ yihūdīyānāṁ samīpe prādāt|

Now when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul, forced in spirit, testified to the Iewes that Iesus was the Christ.

6 kintu te 'tīva virodhaṁ vidhāya pāṣaṇḍīyakathāṁ kathitavantastataḥ paulo vastraṁ dhunvan etāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān, yuṣmākaṁ śoṇitapātāparādho yuṣmān pratyeva bhavatu, tenāhaṁ niraparādho 'dyārabhya bhinnadeśīyānāṁ samīpaṁ yāmi|

And when they resisted and blasphemed, he shooke his raiment, and saide vnto them, Your blood be vpon your owne head: I am cleane: from henceforth will I goe vnto the Gentiles.

7 sa tasmāt prasthāya bhajanabhavanasamīpasthasya yustanāmna īśvarabhaktasya bhinnadeśīyasya niveśanaṁ prāviśat|

So he departed thence, and entred into a certaine mans house, named Iustus, a worshipper of God, whose house ioyned hard to the Synagogue.

8 tataḥ krīṣpanāmā bhajanabhavanādhipatiḥ saparivāraḥ prabhau vyaśvasīt, karinthanagarīyā bahavo lokāśca samākarṇya viśvasya majjitā abhavan|

And Crispus the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, beleeued in the Lord with all his housholde: and many of the Corinthians hearing it, beleeued and were baptized.

9 kṣaṇadāyāṁ prabhuḥ paulaṁ darśanaṁ datvā bhāṣitavān, mā bhaiṣīḥ, mā nirasīḥ kathāṁ pracāraya|

Then saide the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Feare not, but speake, and holde not thy peace.

10 ahaṁ tvayā sārddham āsa hiṁsārthaṁ kopi tvāṁ spraṣṭuṁ na śakṣyati nagare'smin madīyā lokā bahava āsate|

For I am with thee, and no man shall lay handes on thee to hurt thee: for I haue much people in this citie.

11 tasmāt paulastannagare prāyeṇa sārddhavatsaraparyyantaṁ saṁsthāyeśvarasya kathām upādiśat|

So he continued there a yeere and six moneths, and taught ye worde of God among them.

12 gālliyanāmā kaścid ākhāyādeśasya prāḍvivākaḥ samabhavat, tato yihūdīyā ekavākyāḥ santaḥ paulam ākramya vicārasthānaṁ nītvā

Now when Gallio was Deputie of Achaia, the Iewes arose with one accorde against Paul, and brought him to the iudgement seate,

13 mānuṣa eṣa vyavasthāya viruddham īśvarabhajanaṁ karttuṁ lokān kupravṛttiṁ grāhayatīti niveditavantaḥ|

Saying, This fellow persuadeth me to worship God otherwise then the Lawe appointeth.

14 tataḥ paule pratyuttaraṁ dātum udyate sati gālliyā yihūdīyān vyāharat, yadi kasyacid anyāyasya vātiśayaduṣṭatācaraṇasya vicāro'bhaviṣyat tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kathā mayā sahanīyābhaviṣyat|

And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio saide vnto the Iewes, If it were a matter of wrong, or an euill deede, O ye Iewes, I would according to reason maintaine you.

15 kintu yadi kevalaṁ kathāyā vā nāmno vā yuṣmākaṁ vyavasthāyā vivādo bhavati tarhi tasya vicāramahaṁ na kariṣyāmi, yūyaṁ tasya mīmāṁsāṁ kuruta|

But if it bee a question of woordes, and names, and of your Lawe, looke yee to it your selues: for I will be no iudge of those things.

16 tataḥ sa tān vicārasthānād dūrīkṛtavān|

And hee draue them from the iudgement seate.

17 tadā bhinnadeśīyāḥ sosthinināmānaṁ bhajanabhavanasya pradhānādhipatiṁ dhṛtvā vicārasthānasya sammukhe prāharan tathāpi gālliyā teṣu sarvvakarmmasu na mano nyadadhāt|

Then tooke al the Grecians Sosthenes the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, and beat him before the iudgement seat: but Gallio cared nothing for those things.

18 paulastatra punarbahudināni nyavasat, tato bhrātṛgaṇād visarjanaṁ prāpya kiñcanavratanimittaṁ kiṁkriyānagare śiro muṇḍayitvā priskillākkilābhyāṁ sahito jalapathena suriyādeśaṁ gatavān|

But when Paul had taried there yet a good while, hee tooke leaue of the brethren, and sailed into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila) after that he had shorne his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vowe.

19 tata iphiṣanagara upasthāya tatra tau visṛjya svayaṁ bhajanabhvanaṁ praviśya yihūdīyaiḥ saha vicāritavān|

Then hee came to Ephesus, and left them there: but hee entred into the Synagogue and disputed with the Iewes.

20 te svaiḥ sārddhaṁ punaḥ katipayadināni sthātuṁ taṁ vyanayan, sa tadanurarīkṛtya kathāmetāṁ kathitavān,

Who desired him to tarie a longer time with them: but he would not consent,

21 yirūśālami āgāmyutsavapālanārthaṁ mayā gamanīyaṁ; paścād īśvarecchāyāṁ jātāyāṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ pratyāgamiṣyāmi| tataḥ paraṁ sa tai rvisṛṣṭaḥ san jalapathena iphiṣanagarāt prasthitavān|

But bade the farewel, saying, I must needes keepe this feast that commeth, in Hierusalem: but I will returne againe vnto you, if God will. So he sailed from Ephesus.

22 tataḥ kaisariyām upasthitaḥ san nagaraṁ gatvā samājaṁ namaskṛtya tasmād āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ prasthitavān|

And when hee came downe to Cesarea, he went vp to Hierusalem: and when he had saluted the Church, he went downe vnto Antiochia.

23 tatra kiyatkālaṁ yāpayitvā tasmāt prasthāya sarvveṣāṁ śiṣyāṇāṁ manāṁsi susthirāṇi kṛtvā kramaśo galātiyāphrugiyādeśayo rbhramitvā gatavān|

Nowe when he had taried there a while, he departed, and went thorowe the countrey of Galatia and Phrygia by order, strengthening all the disciples.

24 tasminneva samaye sikandariyānagare jāta āpallonāmā śāstravit suvaktā yihūdīya eko jana iphiṣanagaram āgatavān|

And a certaine Iewe named Apollos, borne at Alexandria, came to Ephesus, an eloquent man, and mightie in the Scriptures.

25 sa śikṣitaprabhumārgo manasodyogī ca san yohano majjanamātraṁ jñātvā yathārthatayā prabhoḥ kathāṁ kathayan samupādiśat|

The same was instructed in the way of the Lord, and hee spake feruently in the Spirite, and taught diligently the things of the Lord, and knew but the baptisme of Iohn onely.

26 eṣa jano nirbhayatvena bhajanabhavane kathayitum ārabdhavān, tataḥ priskillākkilau tasyopadeśakathāṁ niśamya taṁ svayoḥ samīpam ānīya śuddharūpeṇeśvarasya kathām abodhayatām|

And he began to speake boldely in the Synagogue. Whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they tooke him vnto them, and expounded vnto him the way of God more perfectly.

27 paścāt sa ākhāyādeśaṁ gantuṁ matiṁ kṛtavān, tadā tatratyaḥ śiṣyagaṇo yathā taṁ gṛhlāti tadarthaṁ bhrātṛgaṇena samāśvasya patre likhite sati, āpallāstatropasthitaḥ san anugraheṇa pratyayināṁ bahūpakārān akarot,

And when hee was minded to goe into Achaia, the brethren exhorting him, wrote to the disciples to receiue him: and after hee was come thither, he holpe them much which had beleeued through grace.

28 phalato yīśurabhiṣiktastrāteti śāstrapramāṇaṁ datvā prakāśarūpeṇa pratipannaṁ kṛtvā yihūdīyān niruttarān kṛtavān|

For mightily hee confuted publikely the Iewes, with great vehemencie, shewing by the Scriptures, that Iesus was that Christ.
