Acts 18
1 After these things, having departed from Athens, he arrived at Corinth.
tadghaṭanātaḥ paraṁ paula āthīnīnagarād yātrāṁ kṛtvā karinthanagaram āgacchat|
2 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.
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|
3 And because he was of the same trade, he lodged with them and was working. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.)
tau dūṣyanirmmāṇajīvinau, tasmāt parasparam ekavṛttikatvāt sa tābhyāṁ saha uṣitvā tat karmmākarot|
4 And he was arguing in the synagogue on every Sabbath, introducing the name of the Lord Jesus. And he was persuading Jews and Greeks.
paulaḥ prativiśrāmavāraṁ bhajanabhavanaṁ gatvā vicāraṁ kṛtvā yihūdīyān anyadeśīyāṁśca pravṛttiṁ grāhitavān|
5 And when Silas and Timothy had arrived from Macedonia, Paul stood firm in the Word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
sīlatīmathiyayo rmākidaniyādeśāt sametayoḥ satoḥ paula uttaptamanā bhūtvā yīśurīśvareṇābhiṣikto bhavatīti pramāṇaṁ yihūdīyānāṁ samīpe prādāt|
6 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.”
kintu te 'tīva virodhaṁ vidhāya pāṣaṇḍīyakathāṁ kathitavantastataḥ paulo vastraṁ dhunvan etāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān, yuṣmākaṁ śoṇitapātāparādho yuṣmān pratyeva bhavatu, tenāhaṁ niraparādho 'dyārabhya bhinnadeśīyānāṁ samīpaṁ yāmi|
7 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.
sa tasmāt prasthāya bhajanabhavanasamīpasthasya yustanāmna īśvarabhaktasya bhinnadeśīyasya niveśanaṁ prāviśat|
8 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.
tataḥ krīṣpanāmā bhajanabhavanādhipatiḥ saparivāraḥ prabhau vyaśvasīt, karinthanagarīyā bahavo lokāśca samākarṇya viśvasya majjitā abhavan|
9 Then the Lord said to Paul, through a vision in the night: “Do not be afraid. Instead, speak out and do not be silent.
kṣaṇadāyāṁ prabhuḥ paulaṁ darśanaṁ datvā bhāṣitavān, mā bhaiṣīḥ, mā nirasīḥ kathāṁ pracāraya|
10 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.”
ahaṁ tvayā sārddham āsa hiṁsārthaṁ kopi tvāṁ spraṣṭuṁ na śakṣyati nagare'smin madīyā lokā bahava āsate|
11 Then he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
tasmāt paulastannagare prāyeṇa sārddhavatsaraparyyantaṁ saṁsthāyeśvarasya kathām upādiśat|
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul. And they brought him to the tribunal,
gālliyanāmā kaścid ākhāyādeśasya prāḍvivākaḥ samabhavat, tato yihūdīyā ekavākyāḥ santaḥ paulam ākramya vicārasthānaṁ nītvā
13 saying, “He persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
mānuṣa eṣa vyavasthāya viruddham īśvarabhajanaṁ karttuṁ lokān kupravṛttiṁ grāhayatīti niveditavantaḥ|
14 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.
tataḥ paule pratyuttaraṁ dātum udyate sati gālliyā yihūdīyān vyāharat, yadi kasyacid anyāyasya vātiśayaduṣṭatācaraṇasya vicāro'bhaviṣyat tarhi yuṣmākaṁ kathā mayā sahanīyābhaviṣyat|
15 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.”
kintu yadi kevalaṁ kathāyā vā nāmno vā yuṣmākaṁ vyavasthāyā vivādo bhavati tarhi tasya vicāramahaṁ na kariṣyāmi, yūyaṁ tasya mīmāṁsāṁ kuruta|
16 And he ordered them from the tribunal.
tataḥ sa tān vicārasthānād dūrīkṛtavān|
17 But they, apprehending Sosthenes, a leader of the synagogue, beat him in front of the tribunal. And Gallio showed no concern for these things.
tadā bhinnadeśīyāḥ sosthinināmānaṁ bhajanabhavanasya pradhānādhipatiṁ dhṛtvā vicārasthānasya sammukhe prāharan tathāpi gālliyā teṣu sarvvakarmmasu na mano nyadadhāt|
18 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.
paulastatra punarbahudināni nyavasat, tato bhrātṛgaṇād visarjanaṁ prāpya kiñcanavratanimittaṁ kiṁkriyānagare śiro muṇḍayitvā priskillākkilābhyāṁ sahito jalapathena suriyādeśaṁ gatavān|
19 And he arrived at Ephesus, and he left them behind there. Yet truly, he himself, entering into the synagogue, was disputing with the Jews.
tata iphiṣanagara upasthāya tatra tau visṛjya svayaṁ bhajanabhvanaṁ praviśya yihūdīyaiḥ saha vicāritavān|
20 Then, although they were asking him to remain for a longer time, he would not agree.
te svaiḥ sārddhaṁ punaḥ katipayadināni sthātuṁ taṁ vyanayan, sa tadanurarīkṛtya kathāmetāṁ kathitavān,
21 Instead, saying goodbye and telling them, “I will return to you again, God willing,” he set out from Ephesus.
yirūśālami āgāmyutsavapālanārthaṁ mayā gamanīyaṁ; paścād īśvarecchāyāṁ jātāyāṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ pratyāgamiṣyāmi| tataḥ paraṁ sa tai rvisṛṣṭaḥ san jalapathena iphiṣanagarāt prasthitavān|
22 And after going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and he greeted the Church there, and then he descended to Antioch.
tataḥ kaisariyām upasthitaḥ san nagaraṁ gatvā samājaṁ namaskṛtya tasmād āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ prasthitavān|
23 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.
tatra kiyatkālaṁ yāpayitvā tasmāt prasthāya sarvveṣāṁ śiṣyāṇāṁ manāṁsi susthirāṇi kṛtvā kramaśo galātiyāphrugiyādeśayo rbhramitvā gatavān|
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man who was powerful with the Scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.
tasminneva samaye sikandariyānagare jāta āpallonāmā śāstravit suvaktā yihūdīya eko jana iphiṣanagaram āgatavān|
25 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.
sa śikṣitaprabhumārgo manasodyogī ca san yohano majjanamātraṁ jñātvā yathārthatayā prabhoḥ kathāṁ kathayan samupādiśat|
26 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.
eṣa jano nirbhayatvena bhajanabhavane kathayitum ārabdhavān, tataḥ priskillākkilau tasyopadeśakathāṁ niśamya taṁ svayoḥ samīpam ānīya śuddharūpeṇeśvarasya kathām abodhayatām|
27 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.
paścāt sa ākhāyādeśaṁ gantuṁ matiṁ kṛtavān, tadā tatratyaḥ śiṣyagaṇo yathā taṁ gṛhlāti tadarthaṁ bhrātṛgaṇena samāśvasya patre likhite sati, āpallāstatropasthitaḥ san anugraheṇa pratyayināṁ bahūpakārān akarot,
28 For he was vehemently and publicly reproving the Jews, by revealing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
phalato yīśurabhiṣiktastrāteti śāstrapramāṇaṁ datvā prakāśarūpeṇa pratipannaṁ kṛtvā yihūdīyān niruttarān kṛtavān|
