Acts 18
|
| Rồi đó, Phao-lô đi khỏi thành A-thên, mà tới thành Cô-rinh-tô. | After these things, he went away from Athens, and came to Corinth. |
| Tại đó, người gặp một người Giu-đa, tên là A-qui-la, quê ở xứ Bông, mới từ nước Y-ta-li đến đây với vợ mình là Bê-rít-sin, bởi vì vua Cơ-lốt có chỉ truyền mọi người Giu-đa phải lánh khỏi thành Rô-ma; Phao-lô bèn hiệp với hai người. | 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; |
| Vì đồng nghề, nên Phao-lô ở nhà hai người mà làm việc chung nhau; vả, nghề các người đó là may trại. | 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. |
| Hễ đến ngày Sa-bát, thì Phao-lô giảng luận trong nhà hội, khuyên dỗ người Giu-đa và người Gờ-réc. | And every Sabbath he had discussions in the Synagogue, turning Jews and Greeks to the faith. |
| Khi Si-la và Ti-mô-thê từ xứ Ma-xê-đoan đến, thì Phao-lô hết lòng chuyên lo về sự giảng dạy, làm chứng với người Giu-đa rằng Đức Chúa Jêsus là Đấng 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. |
| Nhưng, vì chúng chống cự và khinh dể người, nên người giũ áo mình mà nói rằng: Ước gì máu các ngươi đổ lại trên đầu các ngươi! Còn ta thì tinh sạch; từ đây, ta sẽ đi đến cùng người ngoại. | 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. |
| Phao-lô ra khỏi đó, vào nhà một người tên là Ti-ti -u Giút-tu, là kẻ kính sợ Đức Chúa Trời, nhà người giáp với nhà hội. | 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. |
| Bấy giờ Cơ-rít-bu, chủ nhà hội, với cả nhà mình đều tin Chúa; lại có nhiều người Cô-rinh-tô từng nghe Phao-lô giảng, cũng tin và chịu phép báp-tem. | 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. |
| Ban đêm, Chúa phán cùng Phao-lô trong sự hiện thấy rằng: Đừng sợ chi; song hãy nói và chớ làm thinh; | And the Lord said to Paul in the night, in a vision, Have no fear and go on preaching: |

Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:14 ^ | 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: |
Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:15 ^ | 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. |
Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:16 ^ | And he sent them away from the judge's seat. |
Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:17 ^ | 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. |

Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:20 ^ | And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No; |
Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:21 ^ | And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus. |
Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:22 ^ | And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch. |

Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:25 ^ | 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: |
Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:26 ^ | 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. |
Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:27 ^ | 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: |
Công Vụ Các Sứ đồ 18:28 ^ | For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus. |
