Paulus i Korinti

1 Kenca bage itadingken Paulus kuta Aten janah lawes ia ku Korinti. 2 I Korinti jumpa ia ras sekalak Jahudi gelarna si Akuila, asalna i Propinsi Pontus nari. Langa ndekahsa ia reh i Italia nari ras ndeharana Persila. Pindah ia ku Korinti i Italia nari sabap kerina kalak Jahudi ipelawes Klaudius, Kaisar Roma, i Roma nari. Idahi Paulus kalak enda ndai. 3 Janah perbahan seri pendahinna, e me erbahan tenda, e maka i rumahna Paulus kesilang.

4 Tep-tep wari sabat kalak Jahudi, ngerana Paulus i bas rumah pertoton. Iajarina kalak Jahudi ras kalak Junani gelah tek man Jesus.
5 Kenca reh Silas ras Timotius i Makedoni nari, meritaken Berita Si Meriah nari ngenca dahin Paulus. Iturikenna man kalak Jahudi maka Jesus e me Raja si ipadanken Dibata. 6 Tapi asum ia ijabapi dingen icekuraki kalak enda ikipaskenna abu si leket i bas uisna, janah nina man kalak e, “Adi bene kam i bas Dibata nari, kam jine nge nggengkenca. Aku lanai ersalah i bas si e. Mulai genduari nari kudahi me si labo kalak Jahudi.” 7 Jenari itadingken Paulus kalak ndai, lawes ia ku rumah Titus Justus. Ia labo kalak Jahudi tapi isembahna Dibata. Rumahna e i samping rumah pertoton.

8 Pengulu rumah pertoton e gelarna Krispus. Ia ras kerina isi jabuna tek man Tuhan. Kenca megi pengajaren Paulus, nterem pe kalak Korinti tek dingen iperidiken.
9 I bas sada berngi Paulus ngaloken sada pengenehenen. I bas pengenehenen e nina Tuhan man bana, “Ola mbiar, tapi teruslah beritaken, ola kam surut, 10 sabap Aku tetap ras kam. Labo ise pe pang pesega-sega kam sabap nterem kalak si enggo Kupilih i bas kuta enda.” 11 E maka sada setengah tahun dekahna Paulus i bas kuta e, iajarkenna Kata Dibata man anak kuta e. 12 Tapi kenca Galio jadi Gubernur i Propinsi Akaya ersada arih kalak Jahudi guna ngelawan Paulus. Ibabana Paulus ras-ras ku lebe-lebe Gubernur gelah iadili.

13 Nina kalak Jahudi e, “Ibabaina kalak si nterem nembah man Dibata alu cara si bertentangen ras Undang-undang.”
14 Asum ngerana ate Paulus, leben Galio ngerana man kalak Jahudi e nina, “O kalak Jahudi, bicara kin min si iadukenndu enda kerna kesalahen ntah kejahaten banci kualoken pengadunndu e. 15 Tapi perbahan si enda perubaten kerna kata-kata, gelar-gelar ras Undang-undangndu jine, kam sajalah ndungisa. I bas persoalen si bagenda labo aku nggit jadi hakimndu.” 16 Jenari ipelawes Galio kalak ndai kerina i bas ruangen e nari.

17 Tapi kerina kalak e nangkap Sostenes, pengulu rumah pertoton. Ipekpekina ia i lebe-lebe gedung pengadilen. Tapi la diate Galio pe.

Paulus mulihken ku Antiokia

19-21 Kenca seh i Epesus lawes Paulus ku rumah pertoton janah ercakap-cakap ia ras kalak Jahudi. Ipindoken kalak Jahudi e gelah ola min lebe lawes Paulus i kuta e nari, tapi pemindonna enda itulak Paulus. Muatna berkat nina man kalak Jahudi e, “Reh nge pagi aku mulihken ndahi kam, adi bage ate Dibata.” Jenari erlayar Paulus i Epesus nari, tapi Persila ras Akuila tading i kuta e.
22 Kenca seh Paulus i Kesarea, terus ia nangkeng ku Jerusalem. Kenca ia ngerana ras perpulungen Jerusalem lawes ia ku Antiokia.

23 Kenca piga-piga wari dekahna ia i Antiokia berkat ka ia. Isiarina taneh Galati ras Perigia guna mpegegehi kiniteken perpulungen.

Apolos i Epesus bage pe i Korinti

Acts 18

Paul at Corinth

1 After thist Pault departed fromt Athenss and went to Corinth.ss2 There het foundt a Jew named Aquila,s a native of Pontus,s who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudiuss had ordered all the Jews to depart fromt Rome.s Paul approachedt them,3 and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked with themt (for they were tentmakerst by trade).s

4 He addressedt both Jews and Greeks in the synagogues every Sabbath, attempting to persuadet them.
5 Now when Silas and Timothy arrivedt from Macedonia,s Paul became wholly absorbed with proclaimingt the word, testifyingt to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.ts6 When they opposed himt and reviled him,t he protested by shaking out his clothests and said to them, “Your bloods be on your own heads! I am guiltless!t From now on I will go to the Gentiles!”7 Then Pault leftt the synagoguet and went to the house of a person named Titius Justus, a Gentile who worshiped God,ts whose house was next door to the synagogue.8 Crispus, the president of the synagogue,t believed in the Lord together with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians who heard about itt believed and were baptized.9 The Lord said to Paul by a visions in the night,t “Do not be afraid,t but speak and do not be silent,10 because I am with you, and no one will assaultt you to harmt you, because I have many people in this city.”

11 So he stayed theret a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.t

Paul Before the Proconsul Gallio

12 Now while Gallios was proconsuls of Achaia,s the Jews attacked Paul togethert and brought him before the judgment seat,ts13 saying, “This man is persuadingt people to worship God in a way contrary tot the law!”14 But just as Paul was about to speak,t Gallio said to the Jews, “If it were a matter of some crime or serious piece of villainy,t I would have been justified in accepting the complaintt of you Jews,t15 but since it concerns points of disagreementt about words and names and your own law, settlet it yourselves. I will not bet a judge of these things!”16 Then he had them forced awayt from the judgment seat.s

17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the president of the synagogue,ts and began to beatt him in front of the judgment seat.s Yet none of these things were of any concernts to Gallio.

Paul Returns to Antioch in Syria

18 Paul, after stayingt many more days in Corinth,s said farewell tot the brothers and sailed away to Syria accompanied byt Priscilla and Aquila.s Het had his hair cut offt at Cenchreats because he had made a vow.s19 When they reached Ephesus,ss Pault left Priscilla and Aquilat behind there, but he himself wentt into the synagogues and addressedt the Jews.20 When they asked him to stay longer, he would not consent,s21 but said farewell tot them and added,t “I will come backt to you again if God wills.”t Thent he set sail from Ephesus,22 and when he arrivedt at Caesarea,ss he went up and greetedt the church at Jerusalemts and then went down to Antioch.ss

23 After he spentt some time there, Paul left and went through the region of Galatias and Phrygia,s strengthening all the disciples.

Apollos Begins His Ministry

24 Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, arrived in Ephesus.s He was an eloquent speaker,t well-versedt in the scriptures.25 He had been instructed int the way of the Lord, and with great enthusiasmt he spoke and taught accurately the factst about Jesus, although he knewt only the baptism of John.26 He began to speak out fearlesslyt in the synagogue,s but when Priscilla and Aquilas heard him, they took him asidet and explained the way of God to him more accurately.27 When Apollost wanted to cross over to Achaia,s the brothers encouragedt himt and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, het assisted greatly those who had believed by grace,

28 for he refuted the Jews vigorouslyt in public debate,t demonstrating from the scriptures that the Christts was Jesus.t
