1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
7 ¶ And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 9 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: 10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. 11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
12 ¶ And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat, 13 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. 14 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: 15 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it ; for I will be no judge of such matters . 16 And he drave them from the judgment seat. 17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
18 ¶ And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. 19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; 21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus. 22 And when he had landed at Cæsarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch. 23 And after he had spent some time there , he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 ¶ And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them , and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. 27 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace: 28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

1 Pēc tam Pōvuls atstōja Atenas un aizgōja uz Korintu. 2 Tur jys satyka kaidu jūdu, Akvilanu vōrdā, pēc dzimšonas nu Ponta, kurs beja naseņ nu Italijas atbraucis, un jō sīvu Pryscillu, jo Klaudijs beja pavēlējis visim jūdim nu Romas izbraukt, un jim pīsavīnōja. 3 Tai kai tū pošu omotu pīkūpe, jys pi jim apsamete uz dzeivi un strōdōja. Pēc omota jī beja nūmetņu taiseitōji.
4 Iksabatus synagogā jys runōja (mynādams ari Jezus vōrdu) un pīvylka jūdus un ellenus. 5 Un kad nu Makedonijas atgōja Silass ar Timoteju, Pōvuls piļneigi nūsadeve sludynōšonai, pīrōdeidams jūdim, ka Jezus ir Kristus. 6 Bet, kad jī pretōjōs un zaimōja, jys, izkrateidams sovas drēbes, jim saceja: Jyusu asnis lai palīk uz jyusu pošu golvas. Es naasmu vaineigs. Nu šō breiža es īšu pi pogōnim.
7 Atstōjis turīni, jys īgōja kaida dīvbejeiga cylvāka, vōrdā Titusa Justa, mōjā, kura beja suplok ar synagogu. 8 Synagogas pōrzinis Krispus īticēja Kungam reizē ar vysu sovu saimi. Ari daudzejī citi klauseitōji Koryntā palyka ticeigi un pījēme kristeibu. 9 Kungs vīnā nakts redzējumā Pōvulam saceja: Nasabeisti, runoj vīn un naklus, 10 jo Es asmu ar tevi. Nivīns tevis naaizkars, lai kaut kū ļaunu izdareitu. Šymā mīstā maņ ir lela tauta. 11 Jys tur, sludynōdams jim Dīva vōrdu, nūdzeivōja vīnu godu un seši mēneši.
12 Kad Gallions tyka par Achajas mīsta pōrvaļdnīku, jūdi vīnprōteigi sasacēle pret Pōvulu, nūvede jū tīsas krāsla prīškā un 13 saceja: Šytys pīrunoj ļaudis, lai tī pretlykumeigi gūdynōtu Dīvu. 14 Kad Pōvuls gribēja atvērt muti, Gallions uz jūdim atsasauce: Jūdi, jo te līta byutu par pōresteibu, vai kaidu lelu nūzīgumu, tad es pēc lītas jyusu izklauseitu, 15 bet, tai kai te ir tik streidi par mōceibu, nūsaukumim un jyusu lykumu, tad raugit poši; es taidōs lītōs par tīsnesi byut nagrybu. 16 Un lyka tūs nu sova tīsas krāsla atbeideit nūst. 17 Tad visi elleni sakēre synagogas prīkšnīku Sostenesu un tīsas krāsla prīškā jū sasyta. Bet Gallions uz tū vēreibas nagrīze.
Pōvuls dūdās atpakaļ uz Efezu.
18 Pōvuls, pēc dažom dīnom tur palikšonas, atsasveicynōja ar brōlim un reizē ar Pryscillu un Akvilu aizbrauce uz Syriju. Kenchrejā jys lyka sev nūcērpt motus, jo beja padarejis zvārastu. 19 Īsarūnūt Efezā, jys atstōja jūs tur, bet pats, īgōjis synagogā, runōja jūdim. 20 Kad ji lyudze, ka garōku laiku pi jim palyktu, jys tam napīkryta, bet atsasveicynōdams saceja: 21 Jo Dīvs gribēs, atīšu pi jums atpakaļ. Atstōjis Efezu, jys 22 aizbrauce uz Cezareju. Nu turīnes jys devēs tōļōk un, apsveicis draudzi, atsagrīze uz Antiochiju.
23 Nūbejis kaidu laiku, jys devēs ceļā un, apstaigōdams Galacijas apgobolu un Frigiju, styprynōja vysus mōcekļus.
Apollo Efezā.
24 Uz Efezu atgōja kaids jūds, vōrdā Apollo, pēc dzimšonas aleksandrīts, jys beja daiļruneigs un styprs Rokstūs. 25 Ar Kunga mōceibu jys beja īpazeistynōts un, dedzeigi runōdams, mōceja uzmaneigi tū, kas atsateice uz Jezu, lai gon pats zynōja tikai Jōņa kristeibu. 26 Jys sōce drūšsirdeigi uzastōt ari synagogā. Kad Pryscilla ar Akvilu jū beja dzērdējuši, pījēme jū pi sevis un paskaidrōja jam Dīva mōceibu vēļ piļneigōk. 27 Kad jys gribēja īt uz Achaju, brōli pīraksteja tim mōceklim, lai jū uzjimtu. Aizgōjis tur, jys daudzi paleidzēja tim, kas caur žēlesteibu beja īticējuši. 28 Jys tadei atklōti atspākōja jūdus un jim nu Rokstim pīrōdeja, ka Jezus ir Kristus.
