¹And after these things, having left Athens, he came to Corinth;

¹[Ny nahatongavan'i Paoly tao Korinto, sy ny nampianarany tao herintoana sy enim-bolana] Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niala tany Atena Paoly ka nankany Korinto.

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,

²Ary izy nahita Jiosy anankiray atao hoe Akoila, izay teraka tany Ponto, vao avy tany Italia, ary Prisila vadiny (fa Klaodio efa nandidy ny Jiosy rehetra hiala tany Roma), dia nankeo amin'izy mivady Paoly.

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

³Ary satria niray raharaha taminy izy, dia nitoetra tao aminy ka niasa; fa ny manao lay no raharahany.

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

⁴Ary niady hevitra isan-tSabata tao amin'ny synagoga izy ka nampanaiky ny Jiosy sy ny jentilisa.

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.

⁵Ary rehefa tafidina avy tany Makedonia Silasy sy Timoty, dia voaterin'ny teny Paoly ka nanambara tamin'ny Jiosy fa Jesosy no Kristy.

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.

⁶Ary nony nanohitra sy niteny ratsy ireo, dia nanopakopa-damba izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Aoka ho ao an-dohanareo ny ranareo; afaka aho; ary amin'izao sisa izao dia hankany amin'ny jentilisa aho.

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

⁷Ary raha niala teo izy, dia niditra tao an-tranon'ny lehilahy atao hoe Titosy Josto, izay nivavaka tamin'Andriamanitra; ary ny tranony nifanolotra tamin'ny synagoga.

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.

⁸Ary Krispo, mpanapaka ny synagoga, mbamin'ny ankohonany rehetra dia nino ny Tompo; ary maro koa ny Korintiana, raha nandre, dia nino ka natao batisa.

⁹And the Lord said by vision in [the] night to Paul, Fear not, but speak and be not silent;

⁹Ary ny Tompo niteny tamin'i Paoly tamin'ny fahitana nony alina ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra, fa mitenena ihany, ka aza mangina;

¹⁰because *I* am with thee, and no one shall set upon thee to injure thee; because I have much people in this city.

¹⁰fa Izaho momba anao, ary tsy hisy olona hihazona anao hanisy ratsy anao; fa manana olona maro amin'ity tanàna ity Aho.

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

¹¹Ary izy nitoetra teo herintaona sy enim-bolana ka nampianatra ny tenin'Andriamanitra teo aminy.

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

¹²Fa raha Galio no governora tany Akaia dia niray tetika hisambotra an'i Paoly ny Jiosy, ary nitondra azy nankeo amin'ny fitsarana,

¹³saying, This [man] persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.

¹³ka dia nanao hoe: Ilehio mampanaiky ny olona hivavaka amin'Andriamanitra, nefa tsy araka ny lalàna.

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;

¹⁴Ary raha hiloa-bava Paoly, dia hoy Galio tamin'ny Jiosy: Ry Jiosy, raha misy heloka, na zavatra ratsy natao, dia mety raha mandefitra aminareo.aho;

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.

¹⁵fa raha ady hevitra sy anarana ary ny lalànareo kosa, dia ataovinareo ihany; fa izaho tsy te-hitsara izany raharaha izany.

¹⁶And he drove them from the judgment-seat.

¹⁶Ary nandroaka azy hiala teo anoloan'ny fitsarana izy.

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.

¹⁷Ary izy rehetra nisambotra an'i Sostena, mpanapaka ny synagoga, dia nikapoka azy teo anoloan'ny fitsarana. Nefa tsy nahoan'i Galio izany zavatra izany.

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;

¹⁸[Ny niverenan'i Paoly nankany Antiokia, sy ny nandehanany indray namaky an'i Galatia sy Frygia, ary ny nahatongavany tao Efesosy sy ny nampianarany tao] Ary Paoly mbola nitoetra teo andro maromaro ihany, ary rehefa nanao veloma ny rahalahy izy, dia niondrana an-tsambo nankany Syria, ary Prisila sy Akoila niaraka taminy koa; ny volon-dohany nohetezany tany Kenkrea, satria efa nivoady izy.

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

¹⁹Ary tonga tany Efesosy izy, dia nandao azy mivady teo Paoly ka lasa niditra tao amin'ny synagoga ka niady hevitra tamin'ny Jiosy.

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

²⁰Ary nangataka azy hitoetra elaela kokoa ny olona, fa tsy nety izy,

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.

²¹fa nanao veloma azy ka nanao hoe: Mbola hiverina hankatỳ aminareo indray aho, raha sitrapon'Andriamanitra. Dia niondrana an-tsambo niala tany Efesosy izy.

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

²²Ary rehefa tafatody tany Kaisaria izy, dia niakatra ka niarahaba ny fiangonana vao nidina nankany Antiokia.

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

²³Ary rehefa nitoetra tao elaela ihany izy, dia lasa nandeha nitety ny tany Galatia sy Frygia ka nampahery ny mpianatra rehetra.

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

²⁴Ary tonga tany Efesosy ny Jiosy anankiray atao hoe Apolosy, izay teraka tany Aleksandria, lehilahy nahay nandaha-teny sady nahery tamin'ny Soratra Masina.

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.

²⁵Izany lehilahy izany efa nampianarina ny lalan'ny Tompo; ary nafana fo izy, dia niteny sy nampianatra marimarina ny amin'i Jesosy, kanefa ny batisan'i Jaona ihany no fantany.

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.

²⁶Ary izy niteny tamin'ny fahasahiana teo amin'ny synagoga; ary rehefa nandre azy Prisila sy Akoila, dia nandray azy hankao aminy ka nampianatra azy marimarina kokoa ny amin'ny lalan'Andriamanitra.

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.

²⁷Ary rehefa ta-handroso hankany Akaia izy, dia namporisika azy ny rahalahy sady nanoratra taratasy ho any amin'ny mpianatra mba handray azy tsara; ary rehefa tonga izy, dia nampahatanjaka tsara izay efa nino noho ny fahasoavana;fa izy nahery nandresy lahatra ny Jiosy teo imason'ny olona ka naneho marimarina tamin'ny Soratra Masina fa Jesosy no Kristy.

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

²⁸fa izy nahery nandresy lahatra ny Jiosy teo imason'ny olona ka naneho marimarina tamin'ny Soratra Masina fa Jesosy no Kristy.
