¹وبعد هذا مضى بولس من اثينا وجاء الى كورنثوس‎.

¹After these things he departed from Athens, and 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 he found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome: and he came unto them;

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

³and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and they wrought, for by their trade they were tentmakers.

⁴‎وكان يحاج في المجمع كل سبت ويقنع يهودا ويونانيين‎.

⁴And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

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

⁵But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

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

⁶And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.

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

⁷And he departed thence, and went into the house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.

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

⁸And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.

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

⁹And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace:

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

¹⁰for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city.

¹¹‎فاقام سنة وستة اشهر يعلّم بينهم بكلمة الله

¹¹And he dwelt [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

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

¹²But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-seat,

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

¹³saying, This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.

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

¹⁴But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

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

¹⁵but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters.

¹⁶‎فطردهم من الكرسي‎.

¹⁶And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

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

¹⁷And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things.

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 tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreae; for he had a vow.

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

¹⁹And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

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

²⁰And when they asked him to abide a longer time, he consented not;

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

²¹but taking his leave of them, and saying, I will return again unto you if God will, he set sail from Ephesus.

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

²²And when he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and saluted the church, and went down to Antioch.

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

²³And having spent some time [there], he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

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

²⁴Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the scriptures.

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

²⁵This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John:

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

²⁶and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more accurately.

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

²⁷And when he was minded to pass over into Achaia, the brethren encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him: and when he was come, he helped them much that had believed through grace;

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

²⁸for he powerfully confuted the Jews, [and that] publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
