¹After these things Paul departed from Athens, and 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.

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,

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

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

⁴He 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.

⁵But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, 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.

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!”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

¹⁰ for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many 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.

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

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 accord rose up against Paul and brought him before 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 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;

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 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.”

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

¹⁶He drove them from the judgment seat.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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;

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 powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing 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.
