¹وبعد هذا مضى بولس من اثينا وجاء الى كورنثوس‎.

¹And after these things, having left Athens, he 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 finding a certain Jew by name Aquila, of Pontus by race, just come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome,) came to them,

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

³and because they were of the same trade abode with them, and wrought. For they were tent-makers by trade.

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.

⁵And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in respect of 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.

⁶But as they opposed and spoke injuriously, he shook his clothes, and said to them, Your blood be upon your own head: *I* [am] pure; from henceforth I will go to the nations.

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

⁷And departing thence he came to the house of a certain [man], by name Justus, who worshipped God, whose house adjoined the synagogue.

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

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

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

⁹And the Lord said by vision in [the] night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and 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 upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city.

¹¹‎فاقام سنة وستة اشهر يعلّم بينهم بكلمة الله

¹¹And he remained [there] 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

¹²But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one consent rose against Paul and led him to the judgment-seat,

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

¹³saying, This [man] persuades 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 as Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If indeed it was some wrong or wicked criminality, O Jews, of reason I should have borne with you;

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

¹⁵but if it be questions about words, and names, and the law that ye have, see to it yourselves; [for] *I* do not intend to be judge of these things.

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 having all laid hold on Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, they beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio troubled himself about 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 yet stayed [there] many days, took leave of the brethren and sailed thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, having shorn his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow;

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

¹⁹and he arrived at Ephesus, and left them there. But entering himself into the synagogue he reasoned with the Jews.

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

²⁰And when they asked him that he would remain for a longer time [with them] he did not accede,

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

²¹but bade them farewell, saying, [I must by all means keep the coming feast at Jerusalem]; I will return to you again, if God will: and he sailed away from Ephesus.

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

²²And landing at Caesarea, and having gone up and saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.

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

²³And having stayed [there] some time, he went forth, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, establishing all the disciples.

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

²⁴But a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, who was mighty in the scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.

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

²⁵He was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in his spirit, he spoke and taught exactly 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. And Aquila and Priscilla, having heard him, took him to [them] and unfolded to him the way of God more exactly.

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 purposed to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples engaging them to receive him, who, being come, contributed much to those who believed through grace.

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

²⁸For he with great force convinced the Jews publicly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
