prēritāḥ 18
1 tadghaṭanātaḥ paraṁ paula āthīnīnagarād yātrāṁ kr̥tvā karinthanagaram āgacchat|
After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
2 tasmin samayē klaudiyaḥ sarvvān yihūdīyān rōmānagaraṁ vihāya gantum ājñāpayat, tasmāt priskillānāmnā jāyayā sārddham itāliyādēśāt kiñcitpūrvvam āgamat yaḥ pantadēśē jāta ākkilanāmā yihūdīyalōkaḥ paulastaṁ sākṣāt prāpya tayōḥ samīpamitavān|
He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
3 tau dūṣyanirmmāṇajīvinau, tasmāt parasparam ēkavr̥ttikatvāt sa tābhyāṁ saha uṣitvā tat karmmākarōt|
and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
4 paulaḥ prativiśrāmavāraṁ bhajanabhavanaṁ gatvā vicāraṁ kr̥tvā yihūdīyān anyadēśīyāṁśca pravr̥ttiṁ grāhitavān|
He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
5 sīlatīmathiyayō rmākidaniyādēśāt samētayōḥ satōḥ paula uttaptamanā bhūtvā yīśurīśvarēṇābhiṣiktō bhavatīti pramāṇaṁ yihūdīyānāṁ samīpē prādāt|
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
6 kintu tē 'tīva virōdhaṁ vidhāya pāṣaṇḍīyakathāṁ kathitavantastataḥ paulō vastraṁ dhunvan ētāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān, yuṣmākaṁ śōṇitapātāparādhō yuṣmān pratyēva bhavatu, tēnāhaṁ niraparādhō 'dyārabhya bhinnadēśīyānāṁ samīpaṁ yāmi|
When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people."
7 sa tasmāt prasthāya bhajanabhavanasamīpasthasya yustanāmna īśvarabhaktasya bhinnadēśīyasya nivēśanaṁ prāviśat|
He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 tataḥ krīṣpanāmā bhajanabhavanādhipatiḥ saparivāraḥ prabhau vyaśvasīt, karinthanagarīyā bahavō lōkāśca samākarṇya viśvasya majjitā abhavan|
Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
9 kṣaṇadāyāṁ prabhuḥ paulaṁ darśanaṁ datvā bhāṣitavān, mā bhaiṣīḥ, mā nirasīḥ kathāṁ pracāraya|
The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
10 ahaṁ tvayā sārddham āsa hiṁsārthaṁ kōpi tvāṁ spraṣṭuṁ na śakṣyati nagarē'smin madīyā lōkā bahava āsatē|
for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
11 tasmāt paulastannagarē prāyēṇa sārddhavatsaraparyyantaṁ saṁsthāyēśvarasya kathām upādiśat|
He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 gālliyanāmā kaścid ākhāyādēśasya prāḍvivākaḥ samabhavat, tatō yihūdīyā ēkavākyāḥ santaḥ paulam ākramya vicārasthānaṁ nītvā
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
13 mānuṣa ēṣa vyavasthāya viruddham īśvarabhajanaṁ karttuṁ lōkān kupravr̥ttiṁ grāhayatīti nivēditavantaḥ|
saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
14 tataḥ paulē pratyuttaraṁ dātum udyatē sati gālliyā yihūdīyān vyāharat, yadi kasyacid anyāyasya vātiśayaduṣṭatācaraṇasya vicārō'bhaviṣyat tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kathā mayā sahanīyābhaviṣyat|
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
15 kintu yadi kēvalaṁ kathāyā vā nāmnō vā yuṣmākaṁ vyavasthāyā vivādō bhavati tarhi tasya vicāramahaṁ na kariṣyāmi, yūyaṁ tasya mīmāṁsāṁ kuruta|
but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."
16 tataḥ sa tān vicārasthānād dūrīkr̥tavān|
He drove them from the judgment seat.
17 tadā bhinnadēśīyāḥ sōsthinināmānaṁ bhajanabhavanasya pradhānādhipatiṁ dhr̥tvā vicārasthānasya sammukhē prāharan tathāpi gālliyā tēṣu sarvvakarmmasu na manō nyadadhāt|
Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.
18 paulastatra punarbahudināni nyavasat, tatō bhrātr̥gaṇād visarjanaṁ prāpya kiñcanavratanimittaṁ kiṁkriyānagarē śirō muṇḍayitvā priskillākkilābhyāṁ sahitō jalapathēna suriyādēśaṁ gatavān|
Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
19 tata iphiṣanagara upasthāya tatra tau visr̥jya svayaṁ bhajanabhvanaṁ praviśya yihūdīyaiḥ saha vicāritavān|
They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 tē svaiḥ sārddhaṁ punaḥ katipayadināni sthātuṁ taṁ vyanayan, sa tadanurarīkr̥tya kathāmētāṁ kathitavān,
When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
21 yirūśālami āgāmyutsavapālanārthaṁ mayā gamanīyaṁ; paścād īśvarēcchāyāṁ jātāyāṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ pratyāgamiṣyāmi| tataḥ paraṁ sa tai rvisr̥ṣṭaḥ san jalapathēna iphiṣanagarāt prasthitavān|
but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
22 tataḥ kaisariyām upasthitaḥ san nagaraṁ gatvā samājaṁ namaskr̥tya tasmād āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ prasthitavān|
When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
23 tatra kiyatkālaṁ yāpayitvā tasmāt prasthāya sarvvēṣāṁ śiṣyāṇāṁ manāṁsi susthirāṇi kr̥tvā kramaśō galātiyāphrugiyādēśayō rbhramitvā gatavān|
Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 tasminnēva samayē sikandariyānagarē jāta āpallōnāmā śāstravit suvaktā yihūdīya ēkō jana iphiṣanagaram āgatavān|
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
25 sa śikṣitaprabhumārgō manasōdyōgī ca san yōhanō majjanamātraṁ jñātvā yathārthatayā prabhōḥ kathāṁ kathayan samupādiśat|
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 ēṣa janō nirbhayatvēna bhajanabhavanē kathayitum ārabdhavān, tataḥ priskillākkilau tasyōpadēśakathāṁ niśamya taṁ svayōḥ samīpam ānīya śuddharūpēṇēśvarasya kathām abōdhayatām|
He 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 paścāt sa ākhāyādēśaṁ gantuṁ matiṁ kr̥tavān, tadā tatratyaḥ śiṣyagaṇō yathā taṁ gr̥hlāti tadarthaṁ bhrātr̥gaṇēna samāśvasya patrē likhitē sati, āpallāstatrōpasthitaḥ san anugrahēṇa pratyayināṁ bahūpakārān akarōt,
When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
28 phalatō yīśurabhiṣiktastrātēti śāstrapramāṇaṁ datvā prakāśarūpēṇa pratipannaṁ kr̥tvā yihūdīyān niruttarān kr̥tavān|
for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
