Actuum Apostolorum 18

1 Post haec egressus ab Athenis, venit Corinthum:

And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,

2 et inveniens quemdam Iudaeum nomine Aquilam, Ponticum genere, qui nuper venerat ab Italia, et Priscillam uxorem eius, (eo quod praecepisset Claudius discedere omnes Iudaeos a Roma) accessit ad eos.

and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and his wife Priscilla—because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome—he came to them,

3 Et quia eiusdem erat artis, manebat apud eos, et operabatur: (erant autem scenofactoriae artis.)

and because of being of the same craft, he remained with them, and was working, for they were tentmakers as to craft;

4 Et disputabat in synagoga per omne sabbatum, interponens nomen Domini Iesu, suadebatque Iudaeis, et Graecis.

and he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.

5 Cum venissent autem de Macedonia Silas et Timotheus, instabat verbo Paulus, testificans Iudaeis esse Christum Iesum.

And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

6 Contradicentibus autem eis, et blasphemantibus, excutiens vestimenta sua, dixit ad eos: Sanguis vester super caput vestrum: mundus ego, ex hoc ad Gentes vadam.

and on their resisting and slandering, having shaken [his] garments, he said to them, “Your blood [is] on your head—I am clean; from now on I will go on to the nations.”

7 Et migrans inde, intravit in domum cuiusdam, nomine Titi Iusti, colentis Deum, cuius domus erat coniuncta synagogae.

And having departed from there, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,

8 Crispus autem archisynagogus credidit Domino cum omni domo sua: et multi Corinthiorum audientes credebant, et baptizabantur.

and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue believed in the LORD with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being immersed.

9 Dixit autem Dominus nocte per visionem Paulo: Noli timere, sed loquere, et ne taceas:

And the LORD said through a vision in the night to Paul, “Do not be afraid, but be speaking and you may not be silent;

10 propter quod ego sum tecum: et nemo apponetur tibi ut noceat te: quoniam populus est mihi multus in hac civitate.

because I am with you, and no one will set on you to do evil [to] you, because I have many people in this city”;

11 Sedit autem ibi annum et sex menses, docens apud eos verbum Dei.

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

12 Gallione autem proconsule Achaiae, insurrexerunt uno animo Iudaei in Paulum, et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal,

And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord on Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,

13 dicentes: Quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum.

saying, “This one persuades men to worship God against the Law”;

14 Incipiente autem Paulo aperire os, dixit Gallio ad Iudaeos: Si quidem esset iniquum aliquid, aut facinus pessimum o viri Iudaei, recte vos sustinerem.

and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked recklessness, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,

15 Si vero quaestiones sunt de verbo, et nominibus, legis vestrae, vos ipsi videritis: Iudex ego horum nolo esse.

but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look [to it] yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things,”

16 Et minavit eos a tribunali.

and he drives them from the judgment seat;

17 Apprehendentes autem omnes Sosthenem principem synagogae, percutiebant eum ante tribunal: et nihil eorum Gallioni curae erat.

and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the judgment seat, and Gallio was not even caring for these things.

18 Paulus vero cum adhuc sustinuisset dies multos, fratribus valefaciens, navigavit in Syriam, (et cum eo Priscilla, et Aquila) qui sibi totonderat in Cenchris caput: habebat enim votum.

And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brothers, was sailing to Syria—and with him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas—having shorn [his] head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;

19 Devenitque Ephesum, et illos ibi reliquit. Ipse vero ingressus synagogam, disputabat cum Iudaeis.

and he came down to Ephesus, and left them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue reasoned with the Jews:

20 Rogantibus autem eis ut ampliori tempore maneret, non consensit,

and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,

21 sed valefaciens, et dicens, Iterum revertar ad vos Deo volente, profectus est ab Epheso.

but took leave of them, saying, “It is necessary for me by all means to keep the coming celebration at Jerusalem, and again I will return to you—God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus,

22 Et descendens Caesaream, ascendit, et salutavit Ecclesiam, et descendit Antiochiam.

and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having greeted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

23 Et facto ibi aliquanto tempore profectus est, perambulans ex ordine Galatiam regionem, et Phrygiam, confirmans omnes discipulos.

And having stayed some time, he went forth, going successively through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

24 Iudaeus autem quidam, Apollo nomine, Alexandrinus genere, vir eloquens, devenit Ephesum, potens in scripturis.

And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus;

25 Hic erat edoctus viam Domini: et fervens spiritu loquebatur, et docebat diligenter ea, quae sunt Iesu, sciens tantum baptisma Ioannis.

this one was instructed in the way of the LORD, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the LORD, knowing only the immersion of John;

26 Hic ergo coepit fiducialiter agere in synagoga. Quem cum audissent Priscilla et Aquila, assumpserunt eum, et diligentius exposuerunt ei viam Domini.

this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them], and more exactly set forth to him The Way of God,

27 Cum autem vellet ire Achaiam, exhortati fratres, scripserunt discipulis ut susciperent eum. Qui cum venisset, contulit multum his, qui crediderant.

and he resolving to go through into Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, helped them much who have believed through grace,

28 Vehementer enim Iudaeos revincebat publice, ostendens per Scripturas, esse Christum Iesum.

for he was powerfully refuting the Jews publicly, showing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
