使徒行傳 18
1 這事以後，保羅離了雅典，來到哥林多。
After these things, having departed from Athens, he arrived at Corinth.
2 遇見一個猶太人，名叫亞居拉，他生在本都；因為克勞第命猶太人都離開羅馬，新近帶着妻百基拉，從意大利來。保羅就投奔了他們。
And upon finding a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all Jews to depart from Rome, ) he met with them.
3 他們本是製造帳棚為業。保羅因與他們同業，就和他們同住做工。
And because he was of the same trade, he lodged with them and was working. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.)
4 每逢安息日，保羅在會堂裏辯論，勸化猶太人和希臘人。
And he was arguing in the synagogue on every Sabbath, introducing the name of the Lord Jesus. And he was persuading Jews and Greeks.
5 西拉和提摩太從馬其頓來的時候，保羅為道迫切，向猶太人證明耶穌是基督。
And when Silas and Timothy had arrived from Macedonia, Paul stood firm in the Word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6 他們既抗拒、毀謗，保羅就抖着衣裳，說：「你們的罪歸到你們自己頭上，與我無干。從今以後，我要往外邦人那裏去。」
But since they were contradicting him and blaspheming, he shook out his garments and said to them: “Your blood is on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 於是離開那裏，到了一個人的家中；這人名叫提多‧猶士都，是敬拜上帝的，他的家靠近會堂。
And moving from that place, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus the Just, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoined to the synagogue.
8 管會堂的基利司布和全家都信了主，還有許多哥林多人聽了，就相信受洗。
Now Crispus, a leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with his entire house. And many of the Corinthians, upon hearing, believed and were baptized.
9 夜間，主在異象中對保羅說：「不要怕，只管講，不要閉口，
Then the Lord said to Paul, through a vision in the night: “Do not be afraid. Instead, speak out and do not be silent.
10 有我與你同在，必沒有人下手害你，因為在這城裏我有許多的百姓。」
For I am with you. And no one will take hold of you, so as to do you harm. For many of the people in this city are with me.”
11 保羅在那裏住了一年零六個月，將上帝的道教訓他們。
Then he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
12 到迦流作亞該亞方伯的時候，猶太人同心起來攻擊保羅，拉他到公堂，
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul. And they brought him to the tribunal,
13 說：「這個人勸人不按着律法敬拜上帝。」
saying, “He persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 保羅剛要開口，迦流就對猶太人說：「你們這些猶太人！如果是為冤枉或奸惡的事，我理當耐性聽你們。
Then, when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If this were some matter of injustice, or a wicked deed, O noble Jews, I would support you, as is proper.
15 但所爭論的，若是關乎言語、名目，和你們的律法，你們自己去辦吧！這樣的事我不願意審問」；
Yet if truly these are questions about a word and names and your law, you should see to it yourselves. I will not be the judge of such things.”
16 就把他們攆出公堂。
And he ordered them from the tribunal.
17 眾人便揪住管會堂的所提尼，在堂前打他。這些事迦流都不管。
But they, apprehending Sosthenes, a leader of the synagogue, beat him in front of the tribunal. And Gallio showed no concern for these things.
18 保羅又住了多日，就辭別了弟兄，坐船往觜利亞去；百基拉、亞居拉和他同去。他因為許過願，就在堅革哩剪了頭髮。
Yet truly, Paul, after he had remained for many more days, having said goodbye to the brothers, sailed into Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had made a vow.
19 到了以弗所，保羅就把他們留在那裏，自己進了會堂，和猶太人辯論。
And he arrived at Ephesus, and he left them behind there. Yet truly, he himself, entering into the synagogue, was disputing with the Jews.
20 眾人請他多住些日子，他卻不允，
Then, although they were asking him to remain for a longer time, he would not agree.
21 就辭別他們，說：「上帝若許我，我還要回到你們這裏」；於是開船離了以弗所。
Instead, saying goodbye and telling them, “I will return to you again, God willing,” he set out from Ephesus.
22 在凱撒利亞下了船，就上 耶路撒冷去問教會安，隨後下安提阿去。
And after going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and he greeted the Church there, and then he descended to Antioch.
23 住了些日子，又離開那裏，挨次經過加拉太和弗呂家地方，堅固眾門徒。
And having spent some length of time there, he set out, and he walked in order through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24 有一個猶太人，名叫亞波羅，來到以弗所。他生在亞歷山大，是有學問的，最能講解聖經。
Now a certain Jew named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man who was powerful with the Scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.
25 這人已經在主的道上受了教訓，心裏火熱，將耶穌的事詳細講論教訓人；只是他單曉得約翰的洗禮。
He was learned in the Way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching the things that are of Jesus, but knowing only the baptism of John.
26 他在會堂裏放膽講道；百基拉、亞居拉聽見，就接他來，將上帝的道給他講解更加詳細。
And so, he began to act faithfully in the synagogue. And when Priscilla and Aquila had heard him, they took him aside and expounded the Way of the Lord to him more thoroughly.
27 他想要往亞該亞去，弟兄們就勉勵他，並寫信請門徒接待他。他到了那裏，多幫助那蒙恩信主的人，
Then, since he wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers wrote an exhortation to the disciples, so that they might accept him. And when he had arrived, he held many discussions with those who had believed.
28 在眾人面前極有能力駁倒猶太人，引聖經證明耶穌是基督。
For he was vehemently and publicly reproving the Jews, by revealing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
