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

¹Potem se je Pavel ločil iz Aten in prišel v Korint.

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,

²In tu je našel nekega Juda, po imenu Akvila, iz Ponta po rodu, ki je bil nedavno prišel s Priscilo, ženo svojo, iz Italije zato, ker je bil zapovedal Klavdij vsem Judom, naj odidejo iz Rima. In šel je k njima,

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

³in ker je bil istega rokodelstva, je ostal pri njiju, in delali so skupaj; bila sta namreč po rokodelstvu delavca šatorov.

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

⁴In razgovarjal se je v shodnici vsako soboto in prepričeval Jude in Grke.

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

⁵Ko sta pa prišla iz Macedonije Sila in Timotej, je bil Pavel ves navdušen za besedo Božjo in je pričeval Judom, da Jezus je Kristus.

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!”

⁶Ko so pa oni nasprotovali in preklinjali, si otrese oblačila in jim reče: Kri vaša vam pridi na glavo. Čist jaz odslej pojdem k poganom.

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.

⁷In gre odtod in pride v hišo nekega Titija Justa po imenu, ki je častil Boga in čigar hiša je bila tik shodnice.

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.

⁸Krisp pa, načelnik shodnice, je postal veren Gospodu z vso hišo svojo; in veliko Korinčanov, ki so poslušali, je verovalo in se dalo krstiti.

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

⁹Reče pa Gospod Pavlu po noči v prikazni: Ne boj se, temuč govori in ne molči;

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

¹⁰zakaj jaz sem s teboj, in nihče te ne napade, da ti stori kaj hudega; kajti imam veliko ljudstvo v tem mestu.

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

¹¹In prebil je tu eno leto in šest mesecev, učeč besedo Božjo med njimi.

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

¹²Ko pa je bil Galion namestnik v Ahaji, so Judje ene misli napadli Pavla; in pripeljejo ga na sodišče,

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

¹³govoreč: Ta nagovarja ljudi, naj časte Boga zoper postavo.

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;

¹⁴Ko pa hoče Pavel odpreti usta, reče Galion Judom: Ko bi bila kaka krivica ali hudobno dejanje, o Judje, bi vas poslušal po dolžnosti;

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.”

¹⁵ker so pa vprašanja za nauk in za imena in za vašo postavo, glejte sami; jaz nočem biti sodnik v teh rečeh.

¹⁶He drove them from the judgment seat.

¹⁶In odžene jih od sodišča.

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.

¹⁷Tedaj zgrabijo vsi Sostena, načelnika shodnice, in ga bijejo pred sodiščem; ali Galion se ni nič zmenil za to.

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.

¹⁸Pavel pa, ko je še dosti dni ostal tu, se poslovi z brati in se odpelje po morju v Sirijo in ž njim Priscila in Akvila, ko si je ostrigel glavo v Kenhrejah: imel je namreč obljubo.

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

¹⁹Pridejo pa v Efez, in onadva ostaneta tam. A on gre v shodnico in se razgovarja z Judi.

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

²⁰Ko ga pa prosijo, naj ostane dalje časa ž njimi, ne privoli,

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.

²¹ampak poslovi se ž njimi, rekoč: Vrnem se zopet k vam, če Bog hoče. In odpelje se iz Efeza,

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

²²in ko pristane v Cezareji, gre gori in pozdravi cerkev; potem gre doli v Antiohijo.

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

²³In ko se nekaj časa pomudi tu, odide in prehodi zapored Galacijsko stran in Frigijo, utrjujoč vse učence.

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

²⁴Prišel pa je v Efez neki Jud, po imenu Apolo, Aleksandrijan po rodu, zgovoren mož; in bil je jako zveden v pismih.

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.

²⁵Ta je bil poučen v potu Gospodovem, in goreč v duhu je govoril in učil pridno to, kar zadeva Jezusa, dasi je poznal samo krst Janezov.

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.

²⁶In ta začne srčno oznanjevati v shodnici. Ko sta ga pa Akvila in Priscila slišala, ga vzameta k sebi in mu še natančneje razložita pot Božjo.

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;

²⁷Ko pa je hotel iti naprej v Ahajo, so ga izpodbujali bratje in pisali tamošnjim učencem, naj ga sprejmo. In ko je prišel tja, je po milosti veliko pripomogel tistim, ki so bili sprejeli vero.Kajti krepko je zavračeval Jude pred ljudstvom, dokazujoč iz pisem, da Jezus je Kristus.

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

²⁸Kajti krepko je zavračeval Jude pred ljudstvom, dokazujoč iz pisem, da Jezus je Kristus.
