Acts 18

| Après cela, Paul partit d`Athènes, et se rendit à Corinthe. | After these things, he went away from Athens, and came to Corinth. |
| Il y trouva un Juif nommé Aquilas, originaire du Pont, récemment arrivé d`Italie avec sa femme Priscille, parce que Claude avait ordonné à tous les Juifs de sortir de Rome. Il se lia avec eux; | And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them; |
| et, comme il avait le même métier, il demeura chez eux et y travailla: ils étaient faiseurs de tentes. | And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers. |
| Paul discourait dans la synagogue chaque sabbat, et il persuadait des Juifs et des Grecs. | And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith. |
| Mais quand Silas et Timothée furent arrivés de la Macédoine, il se donna tout entier à la parole, attestant aux Juifs que Jésus était le Christ. | And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus. |
| Les Juifs faisant alors de l`opposition et se livrant à des injures, Paul secoua ses vêtements, et leur dit: Que votre sang retombe sur votre tête! J`en suis pur. Dès maintenant, j`irai vers les païens. | And when they put themselves against him, and said evil words, he said, shaking his clothing, Your blood be on your heads, I am clean: from now I will go to the Gentiles. |
| Et sortant de là, il entra chez un nommé Justus, homme craignant Dieu, et dont la maison était contiguë à la synagogue. | And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue. |
| Cependant Crispus, le chef de la synagogue, crut au Seigneur avec toute sa famille. Et plusieurs Corinthiens, qui avaient entendu Paul, crurent aussi, et furent baptisés. | And Crispus, the ruler of the Synagogue, with all his family, had faith in the Lord; and a great number of the people of Corinth, hearing the word, had faith and were given baptism. |
| Le Seigneur dit à Paul en vision pendant la nuit: Ne crains point; mais parle, et ne te tais point, | And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching: |
| Car je suis avec toi, et personne ne mettra la main sur toi pour te faire du mal: parle, car j`ai un peuple nombreux dans cette ville. | For I am with you, and no one will make an attack on you to do you damage: for I have a number of people in this town. |
| Il y demeura un an et six mois, enseignant parmi les Corinthiens la parole de Dieu. | And he was there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. |
| Du temps que Gallion était proconsul de l`Achaïe, les Juifs se soulevèrent unanimement contre Paul, et le menèrent devant le tribunal, | But when Gallio was ruler of Achaia, all the Jews together made an attack on Paul, and took him to the judge's seat, |
| en disant: Cet homme excite les gens à servir Dieu d`une manière contraire à la loi. | Saying, This man is teaching the people to give worship to God in a way which is against the law. |
| Paul allait ouvrir la bouche, lorsque Gallion dit aux Juifs: S`il s`agissait de quelque injustice ou de quelque méchante action, je vous écouterais comme de raison, ô Juifs; | But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing: |
| mais, s`il s`agit de discussions sur une parole, sur des noms, et sur votre loi, cela vous regarde: je ne veux pas être juge de ces choses. | But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things. |
| Et il les renvoya du tribunal. | And he sent them away from the judge's seat. |
| Alors tous, se saisissant de Sosthène, le chef de la synagogue, le battirent devant le tribunal, sans que Gallion s`en mît en peine. | And they all made an attack on Sosthenes, the ruler of the Synagogue, and gave him blows before the judge's seat; but Gallio gave no attention to these things. |
| Paul resta encore assez longtemps à Corinthe. Ensuite il prit congé des frères, et s`embarqua pour la Syrie, avec Priscille et Aquilas, après s`être fait raser la tête à Cenchrées, car il avait fait un voeu. | And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath. |
| Ils arrivèrent à Éphèse, et Paul y laissa ses compagnons. Étant entré dans la synagogue, il s`entretint avec les Juifs, | And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews. |
| qui le prièrent de prolonger son séjour. | And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No; |
| Mais il n`y consentit point, et il prit congé d`eux, en disant: Il faut absolument que je célèbre la fête prochaine à Jérusalem. Je reviendrai vers vous, si Dieu le veut. Et il partit d`Éphèse. | And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus. |
| Étant débarqué à Césarée, il monta à Jérusalem, et, après avoir salué l`Église, il descendit à Antioche. | And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch. |
| Lorsqu`il eut passé quelque temps à Antioche, Paul se mit en route, et parcourut successivement la Galatie et la Phrygie, fortifiant tous les disciples. | And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith. |
| Un Juif nommé Apollos, originaire d`Alexandrie, homme éloquent et versé dans les Écritures, vint à Éphèse. | Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings. |
| Il était instruit dans la voie du Seigneur, et, fervent d`esprit, il annonçait et enseignait avec exactitude ce qui concerne Jésus, bien qu`il ne connût que le baptême de Jean. | This man had been trained in the way of the Lord; and burning in spirit, he gave himself up to teaching the facts about Jesus, though he had knowledge only of John's baptism: |
| Il se mit à parler librement dans la synagogue. Aquilas et Priscille, l`ayant entendu, le prirent avec eux, et lui exposèrent plus exactement la voie de Dieu. | And he was preaching in the Synagogue without fear. But Priscilla and Aquila, hearing his words, took him in, and gave him fuller teaching about the way of God. |
| Comme il voulait passer en Achaïe, les frères l`y encouragèrent, et écrivirent aux disciples de le bien recevoir. Quand il fut arrivé, il se rendit, par la grâce de Dieu, très utile à ceux qui avaient cru; | And when he had a desire to go over into Achaia, the brothers gave him help, and sent letters to the disciples requesting them to take him in among them: and when he had come, he gave much help to those who had faith through grace: |
| Car il réfutait vivement les Juifs en public, démontrant par les Écritures que Jésus est le Christ. | For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus. |
