Atos 18

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth. 2 He 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, 3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers. 4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. 6 When 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!"

7 He 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. 8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized. 9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent; 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."

11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat, 13 saying, "This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."

14 But 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; 15 but 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." 16 So he drove them from the judgment seat.

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

18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers,*18:18 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. 19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined; 21 but taking his leave of them, he said, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills." Then he set sail from Ephesus.

22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch. 23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples. 24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures. 25 This 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. 26 He 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.

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

I Koroniti

1 Muri iho i ēnei mea ka haere atu a Pāora i Atene, ka tae ki Koriniti. 2 Nā, ka kite ia i tētahi Hūrai ko Akuira te ingoa, i whānau ki Ponoto, he mea tae hou mai i Itari, rāua ko tāna wahine, ko Pirihira; kua whakahaua hoki e Karauria kia haere atu ngā Hūrai katoa i Rōma; ā, ka haere ia ki a rāua. 3 Ā, nō te mea kotahi tā rātou mahi, ka noho ia ki a rāua ka mahi rātou; he tui tēneti hoki tā rāua mahi. 4 Nā, ka kōrerorero ia i roto i te whare karakia i ngā hāpati katoa, e tohe ana ki ngā Hūrai rātou ko ngā Kariki.

5 Nō te taenga mai ia o Hira rāua ko Tīmoti i Makeronia, ka tākare te ngākau o Pāora, ka whakapuaki ki ngā Hūrai ko Īhu te Karaiti. 6 Heoi, i a rātou ka whakatika, ka kohukohu, ka ruia e ia ōna kākahu, ka mea ki a rātou, "Hei runga i ō koutou mātenga ō koutou toto; ka mā ahau. Ko tēnei ka haere ahau ki ngā tauiwi."

7 Nā, ka haere atu ia i reira, ka tomo ki te whare o tētahi tangata, ko Taituha Hutuha te ingoa, he tangata karakia ki te Atua; ko tōna whare i tata tonu ki te whare karakia. 8 Nā, ka whakapono a Kirihipu, te rangatira o te whare karakia, me tōna whare katoa ki te Ariki; he tokomaha hoki ngā Koriniti, i a rātou ka rongo, i whakapono, i iriiria hoki.

9 Ā, ka kōrero moemoeā te Ariki ki a Pāora i te pō, "Kaua e wehi, engari me kōrero, kei noho puku; 10 kei a koe hoki ahau, e kore hoki tētahi tangata e pā ki a koe, e hoatu i te kino ki a koe. He nui hoki āku tāngata i tēnei pā." 11 Nā, kotahi te tau e ono marama i noho ai ia i reira, i whakaako ai i te kupu a te Atua i roto i a rātou.

12 Nā, i a Kario e noho ana hei kāwana mō Akāia, kotahi tonu whakatikanga o ngā Hūrai ki a Pāora, ā, kawea ana ia ki te nohoanga whakawā, 13 ka mea, "E kukume ana tēnei i ngā tāngata ki tētahi karakia ki te Atua e poka kē ana i tā te ture."

14 Ā, e mea tonu ana te māngai o Pāora ki te puaki, ka mea a Kario ki ngā Hūrai, "E ngā Hūrai, mehemea ko tētahi hanga hē, ko tētahi mahi kino rānei, he tika kia āta whakarongo ahau ki a koutou. 15 Ko tēnei he totohe kōrero, he mea ki ngā ingoa, ki tā koutou ture, kei a koutou te whakaaro; e kore hoki ahau e pai kia waiho ahau hei kaiwhakawā mō ēnā mea." 16 Nā, peia atu ana rātou e ia i te nohoanga whakawā. 17 Nā, ka mau ngā Kariki katoa ki a Hotene, rangatira o te whare karakia, ā, whiua ana ia i mua o te nohoanga whakawā. Heoi, kīhai a Kario i whakaaro ki tētahi o ēnei mea.

Te Hokinga ki Anatioka

18 Ā, ka maha ngā rā i noho ai a Pāora, ka poroporoaki ia ki ngā tēina, ā, rere ana ki Hīria, rātou ko Pirihira ko Akuira; he mea moremore tōna upoko i Kenekerea; he kī taurangi hoki nāna. 19 Ā, ka tae rātou ki Epeha, ka mahue rāua i a ia ki reira; ko ia i tomo ki te whare karakia, kōrerorero ai ki ngā Hūrai. 20 Ā, i tā rātou meatanga kia roa atu te wā e noho ai ia ki a rātou, kīhai ia i whakaae; 21 heoi, poroporoaki ana ki a rātou, ka mea, "E hoki mai anō ahau ki a koutou, ki te pai te Atua." Ā, rere atu ana ia i Epeha.

22 Ā, nō ka ū ia ki Hiharia, ka haere atu ka oha ki te hāhi, ā, haere ana ki Anatioka. 23 Ā, roaroa iho ki reira, ka haere, ā, hāereerea mārietia ana e ia te whenua Karatia, o Pirikia, me te whakaū i ngā ākonga katoa.

Ko Aporo kei Epeha kei Koriniti

24 Nā, ka haere mai tētahi Hūrai ki Epeha, ko Aporo te ingoa, i whānau ki Arēhānaria, he pū kōrero, he tangata kaha ki ngā karaipiture. 25 I whakaakona tēnei tangata ki te ara o te Ariki; he tangata ia e toko tonu ake ana te ngākau, ka kōrero ia, tika tonu hoki tāna whakaako i ngā mea mō Īhu; heoi anō, tāna i mātau ai ko te iriiri a Hoani. 26 Ka anga ia ka kōrero nui i roto i te whare karakia. Nō te rongonga o Akuira rāua ko Pirihia ki a ia, ka mau rāua ki a ia, ka āta whakaatu ki a ia i te ara o te Atua.

27 Ā, nō ka mea ia kia haere ki Akāia, ka tautokona ia e ngā tēina, ā, ka tuhituhi rātou ki ngā ākonga kia whakamanuhiritia ia e rātou. Ā, nō tōna taenga atu, ka whakakahangia e ia te hunga i meinga nei e te aroha noa kia whakapono; 28 kaha rawa hoki tāna whawhati i tā ngā Hūrai i roto i te huihui; whakaaturia ana e ia tā ngā karaipiture mō Īhu, ko te Karaiti ia.
