¹وبعد هذا مضى بولس من اثينا وجاء الى كورنثوس‎.

¹And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,

²‎فوجد يهوديا اسمه اكيلا بنطي الجنس كان قد جاء حديثا من ايطالية وبريسكلا امراته. لان كلوديوس كان قد امر ان يمضي جميع اليهود من رومية. فجاء اليهما‎.

²and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife — because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome — he came to them,

³‎ولكونه من صناعتهما اقام عندهما وكان يعمل لانهما كانا في صناعتهما خياميّين‎.

³and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft;

⁴‎وكان يحاج في المجمع كل سبت ويقنع يهودا ويونانيين‎.

⁴and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.

⁵‎ولما انحدر سيلا وتيموثاوس من مكدونية كان بولس منحصرا بالروح وهو يشهد لليهود بالمسيح يسوع‎.

⁵And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;

⁶‎واذ كانوا يقاومون ويجدفون نفض ثيابه وقال لهم دمكم على رؤوسكم. انا بري. من الآن اذهب الى الامم‎.

⁶and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken [his] garments, he said unto them, `Your blood [is] upon your head — I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.`

⁷‎فانتقل من هناك وجاء الى بيت رجل اسمه يوستس كان متعبدا لله وكان بيته ملاصقا للمجمع‎.

⁷And having departed thence, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,

⁸‎وكريسبس رئيس المجمع آمن بالرب مع جميع بيته. وكثيرون من الكورنثيين اذ سمعوا آمنوا واعتمدوا

⁸and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

⁹فقال الرب لبولس برؤيا في الليل لا تخف بل تكلم ولا تسكت‎.

⁹And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul, `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent;

¹⁰‎لاني انا معك ولا يقع بك احد ليؤذيك. لان لي شعبا كثيرا في هذه المدينة‎.

¹⁰because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do thee evil; because I have much people in this city;`

¹¹‎فاقام سنة وستة اشهر يعلّم بينهم بكلمة الله

¹¹and he continued a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.

¹²ولما كان غاليون يتولى اخائية قام اليهود بنفس واحدة على بولس وأتوا به الى كرسي الولاية

¹²And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal,

¹³قائلين ان هذا يستميل الناس ان يعبدوا الله بخلاف الناموس‎.

¹³saying — `Against the law this one doth persuade men to worship God;`

¹⁴‎واذ كان بولس مزمعا ان يفتح فاه قال غاليون لليهود لو كان ظلما او خبثا رديّا ايها اليهود لكنت بالحق قد احتملتكم‎.

¹⁴and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, `If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,

¹⁵‎ولكن اذا كان مسئلة عن كلمة واسماء وناموسكم فتبصرون انتم‎. ‎لاني لست اشاء ان اكون قاضيا لهذه الامور‎.

¹⁵but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves [to it], for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,`

¹⁶‎فطردهم من الكرسي‎.

¹⁶and he drave them from the tribunal;

¹⁷‎فاخذ جميع اليونانيين سوستانيس رئيس المجمع وضربوه قدام الكرسي ولم يهم غاليون شيء من ذلك

¹⁷and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the tribunal, and not even for these things was Gallio caring.

¹⁸واما بولس فلبث ايضا اياما كثيرة ثم ودع الاخوة وسافر في البحر الى سورية ومعه بريسكلا واكيلا بعدما حلق راسه في كنخريا. لانه كان عليه نذر‎.

¹⁸And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria — and with him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas — having shorn [his] head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;

¹⁹‎فاقبل الى افسس وتركهما هناك. واما هو فدخل المجمع وحاج اليهود.

¹⁹and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with the Jews:

²⁰واذ كانوا يطلبون ان يمكث عندهم زمانا اطول لم يجب‎.

²⁰and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,

²¹‎بل ودعهم قائلا ينبغي على كل حال ان اعمل العيد القادم في اورشليم. ولكن سارجع اليكم ايضا ان شاء الله. فاقلع من افسس‎.

²¹but took leave of them, saying, `It behoveth me by all means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will return unto you — God willing.` And he sailed from Ephesus,

²²‎ولما نزل في قيصرية صعد وسلم على الكنيسة ثم انحدر الى انطاكية.

²²and having come down to Cesarea, having gone up, and having saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

²³وبعدما صرف زمانا خرج واجتاز بالتتابع في كورة غلاطية وفريجية يشدد جميع التلاميذ

²³And having made some stay he went forth, going through in order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

²⁴ثم اقبل الى افسس يهودي اسمه أبلوس اسكندري الجنس رجل فصيح مقتدر في الكتب‎.

²⁴And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus,

²⁵‎كان هذا خبيرا في طريق الرب وكان وهو حار بالروح يتكلم ويعلّم بتدقيق ما يختص بالرب عارفا معمودية يوحنا فقط‎.

²⁵this 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 baptism of John;

²⁶‎وابتدأ هذا يجاهر في المجمع. فلما سمعه اكيلا وبريسكلا اخذاه اليهما وشرحا له طريق الرب باكثر تدقيق‎.

²⁶this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them], and did more exactly expound to him the way of God,

²⁷‎واذ كان يريد ان يجتاز الى اخائية كتب الاخوة الى التلاميذ يحضونهم ان يقبلوه. فلما جاء ساعد كثيرا بالنعمة الذين كانوا قد آمنوا‎.

²⁷and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace,

²⁸‎لانه كان باشتداد يفحم اليهود جهرا مبينا بالكتب ان يسوع هو المسيح

²⁸for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
