¹ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܡܢ ܐܬܢܘܤ ܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܠܩܘܪܢܬܘܤ ܀

¹After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

²ܘܐܫܟܚ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܩܠܘܤ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܦܢܛܘܤ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܒܗ ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܐܝܛܠܝܐ ܗܘ ܘܦܪܝܤܩܠܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܦܩܕ ܗܘܐ ܩܠܘܕܝܘܤ ܩܤܪ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܪܗܘܡܐ ܘܐܬܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܀

²He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,

³ܘܡܛܠ ܕܒܪ ܐܘܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܘܐ ܫܪܐ ܠܗ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܦܠܚ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܒܐܘܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܘܠܪܐ ܗܘܘ ܀

³and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

⁴ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܒܟܠ ܫܒܐ ܘܡܦܝܤ ܗܘܐ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܠܚܢܦܐ ܀

⁴He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

⁵ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܫܝܠܐ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܠܝܨ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܗܘ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܕ ܡܤܗܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܗܘܝܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

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

⁶ܘܢܦܨ ܡܐܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܝ ܠܘܬ ܥܡܡܐ ܀

⁶When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”

⁷ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܛܛܘܤ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܝܬܗ ܢܩܝܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܀

⁷He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

⁸ܘܟܪܝܤܦܘܤ ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܗܝܡܢ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܘܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܩܘܪܢܬܝܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܘܥܡܕܝܢ ܀

⁸Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.

⁹ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܐܠܐ ܡܠܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܩ ܀

⁹The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;

¹⁰ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܗܪܘܬܟ ܘܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

¹⁰ for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”

¹¹ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܢܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܘܝܪܚܐ ܫܬܐ ܒܩܘܪܢܬܘܤ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹¹He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.

¹²ܘܟܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܓܐܠܝܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܦܛܘܤ ܕܐܟܐܝܐ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܥܠ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܩܕܡ ܒܝܡ ܀

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

¹³ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܗܢܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܦܝܤ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹³saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”

¹⁴ܘܟܕ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܢܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܢܡܠܠ ܐܡܪ ܓܐܠܝܘܢ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܠܘ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܒܝܫ ܐܘ ܕܢܟܝܠ ܐܘ ܕܤܢܐ ܡܩܛܪܓܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܘܠܝܬܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁴But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

¹⁵ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܙܛܡܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܫܡܗܐ ܘܥܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܗܘܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܀

¹⁵but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”

¹⁶ܘܛܪܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܡ ܕܝܠܗ ܀

¹⁶He drove them from the judgment seat.

¹⁷ܘܐܚܕܘ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܢܦܐ ܠܤܘܤܬܢܝܤ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܩܕܡ ܒܝܡ ܘܓܐܠܝܘܢ ܡܗܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܀

¹⁷Then all the Greeks laid hold on Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.

¹⁸ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܬܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܝܗܒ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܐܚܐ ܘܪܕܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܤܘܪܝܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܥܡܗ ܦܪܝܤܩܠܐ ܘܐܩܠܘܤ ܟܕ ܤܦܪ ܪܫܗ ܒܩܢܟܪܐܤ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܕܪܐ ܢܕܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܀

¹⁸Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

¹⁹ܘܡܛܝܘ ܠܐܦܤܘܤ ܘܥܠ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

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

²⁰ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܕܢܓܪ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܤ ܀

²⁰When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;

²¹ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܕܘܠܐ ܠܝ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܕܥܐܕܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܐܥܒܕܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܨܒܐ ܐܦܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܠܐܩܠܘܤ ܘܠܦܪܝܤܩܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܦܤܘܤ ܀

²¹but taking his leave of them, and saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills,” he set sail from Ephesus.

²²ܘܗܘ ܪܕܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܩܤܪܝܐ ܘܤܠܩ ܘܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܥܕܬܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܐܢܛܝܘܟܝ ܀

²²When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.

²³ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܢܦܩ ܘܐܬܟܪܟ ܒܬܪ ܒܬܪ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܓܠܛܝܐ ܘܕܦܪܘܓܝܐ ܟܕ ܡܩܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܀

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

²⁴ܘܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܦܠܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܛܘܗܡܗ ܡܢ ܐܠܟܤܢܕܪܝܐ ܘܪܕܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܡܕܩ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܐܦܤܘܤ ܀

²⁴Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.

²⁵ܗܢܐ ܡܬܠܡܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܘܪܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܪܬܚ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܘܚ ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܡܠܝܐܝܬ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܀

²⁵This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

²⁶ܘܫܪܝ ܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘܗܝ ܐܩܠܘܤ ܘܦܪܝܤܩܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܘܡܠܝܐܝܬ ܚܘܝܘܗܝ ܐܘܪܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܀

²⁶He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

²⁷ܘܟܕ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܟܐܝܐ ܚܦܛܘܗܝ ܐܚܐ ܘܟܬܒܘ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܢܩܒܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܥܕܪ ܤܓܝ ܒܝܕ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܀

²⁷When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

²⁸ܬܩܝܦܐܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܪܫ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܟܢܫܐ ܟܕ ܡܚܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܀

²⁸for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
