Acts of the Apostles 18

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 After these things, having departed from Athens, he arrived at Corinth.	1 ORA, dopo queste cose, Paolo si partì d’Atene, e venne in Corinto.
2 And upon finding a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with Priscilla his wife, (because Claudius had ordered all Jews to depart from Rome,) he met with them.	2 E, trovato un certo Giudeo, chiamato per nome Aquila, di nazione Pontico, nuovamente venuto d’Italia, insieme con Priscilla, sua moglie perciocchè Claudio avea comandato che tutti i Giudei si partissero di Roma, si accostò a loro.
3 And because he was of the same trade, he lodged with them and was working. (Now they were tentmakers by trade.)	3 E perciocchè egli era della medesima arte, dimorava in casa loro, e lavorava; perciocchè l’arte loro era di far padiglioni.
4 And he was arguing in the synagogue on every Sabbath, introducing the name of the Lord Jesus. And he was persuading Jews and Greeks.	4 Ed ogni sabato faceva un sermone nella sinagoga, e induceva alla fede Giudei e Greci.
5 And when Silas and Timothy had arrived from Macedonia, Paul stood firm in the Word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.	5 Ora, quando Sila e Timoteo furon venuti di Macedonia, Paolo era sospinto dallo Spirito, testificando a’ Giudei che Gesù è il Cristo.
6 But since they were contradicting him and blaspheming, he shook out his garments and said to them: “Your blood is on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles.”	6 Ma, contrastando eglino, e bestemmiando, egli scosse i suoi vestimenti, e disse loro: Il sangue vostro sia sopra il vostro capo, io ne son netto; da ora innanzi io andrò a’ Gentili
7 And moving from that place, he entered into the house of a certain man, named Titus the Just, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoined to the synagogue.	7 E partitosi di là, entrò in casa d’un certo chiamato per nome Giusto, il qual serviva a Dio; la cui casa era contigua alla sinagoga.
8 Now Crispus, a leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, with his entire house. And many of the Corinthians, upon hearing, believed and were baptized.	8 Or Crispo, capo della sinagoga, credette al Signore, con tutta la sua famiglia; molti ancora de’ Corinti, udendo Paolo, credevano, ed erano battezzati.
9 Then the Lord said to Paul, through a vision in the night: “Do not be afraid. Instead, speak out and do not be silent.	9 E il Signore disse di notte in visione a Paolo: Non temere; ma parla, e non tacere.
10 For I am with you. And no one will take hold of you, so as to do you harm. For many of the people in this city are with me.”	10 Perciocchè io son teco, e niuno metterà le mani sopra te, per offenderti; poichè io ho un gran popolo in questa città.
11 Then he settled there for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.	11 Egli adunque dimorò quivi un anno, e sei mesi, insegnando fra loro la parola di Dio
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews rose up with one accord against Paul. And they brought him to the tribunal,	12 Poi, quando Gallione fu proconsolo d’Acaia, i Giudei di pari consentimento si levarono contro a Paolo, e lo menarono al tribunale, dicendo:
13 saying, “He persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”	13 Costui persuade agli uomini di servire a Dio contro alla legge.
14 Then, when Paul was beginning to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If this were some matter of injustice, or a wicked deed, O noble Jews, I would support you, as is proper.	14 E come Paolo era per aprir la bocca, Gallione disse a’ Giudei: Se si trattasse di alcuna ingiustizia o misfatto, o Giudei, io vi udirei pazientemente, secondo la ragione.
15 Yet if truly these are questions about a word and names and your law, you should see to it yourselves. I will not be the judge of such things.”	15 Ma, se la quistione è intorno a parole, e a nomi, e alla vostra legge, provvedeteci voi; perciocchè io non voglio esser giudice di coteste cose.
16 And he ordered them from the tribunal.	16 E li scacciò dal tribunale.
17 But they, apprehending Sosthenes, a leader of the synagogue, beat him in front of the tribunal. And Gallio showed no concern for these things.	17 E tutti i Greci presero Sostene, capo della sinagoga, e lo battevano davanti al tribunale; e Gallione niente si curava di queste cose
18 Yet truly, Paul, after he had remained for many more days, having said goodbye to the brothers, sailed into Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. Now he had shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had made a vow.	18 Ora, quando Paolo fu dimorato quivi ancora molti giorni, prese commiato dai fratelli, e navigò in Siria, con Priscilla, ed Aquila; essendosi fatto tondere il capo in Cencrea, perciocchè avea voto.
19 And he arrived at Ephesus, and he left them behind there. Yet truly, he himself, entering into the synagogue, was disputing with the Jews.	19 Ed essendo giunto in Efeso, li lasciò quivi. Or egli entrò nella sinagoga, e fece un sermone a’ Giudei.
20 Then, although they were asking him to remain for a longer time, he would not agree.	20 Ed essi lo pregavano di dimorare appresso di loro più lungo tempo; ma egli non acconsentì;
21 Instead, saying goodbye and telling them, “I will return to you again, God willing,” he set out from Ephesus.	21 anzi prese commiato da loro, dicendo: Del tutto mi conviene far la festa prossima in Gerusalemme; ma io ritornerò ancora a voi, se piace a Dio. Così si partì per mare da Efeso.
22 And after going down to Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem, and he greeted the Church there, and then he descended to Antioch.	22 Ed essendo disceso in Cesarea, salì in Gerusalemme; poi, dopo aver salutata la chiesa, scese in Antiochia.
23 And having spent some length of time there, he set out, and he walked in order through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.	23 Ed essendo quivi dimorato alquanto tempo, si partì, andando attorno di luogo in luogo per lo paese di Galazia, e di Frigia, confermando tutti i discepoli
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollo, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man who was powerful with the Scriptures, arrived at Ephesus.	24 OR un certo Giudeo, il cui nome era Apollo, di nazione Alessandrino, uomo eloquente, e potente nelle scritture, arrivò in Efeso.
25 He was learned in the Way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching the things that are of Jesus, but knowing only the baptism of John.	25 Costui era ammaestrato ne’ principii della via del Signore; e, fervente di spirito, parlava, ed insegnava diligentemente le cose del Signore, avendo sol conoscenza del battesimo di Giovanni.
26 And so, he began to act faithfully in the synagogue. And when Priscilla and Aquila had heard him, they took him aside and expounded the Way of the Lord to him more thoroughly.	26 E prese a parlar francamente nella sinagoga. Ed Aquila, e Priscilla, uditolo, lo presero con loro, e gli esposero più appieno la via di Dio.
27 Then, since he wanted to go to Achaia, the brothers wrote an exhortation to the disciples, so that they might accept him. And when he had arrived, he held many discussions with those who had believed.	27 Poi, volendo egli passare in Acaia, i fratelli vel confortarono, e scrissero ai discepoli che l’accogliessero. Ed egli, essendo giunto là, conferì molto a coloro che avean creduto per la grazia.
28 For he was vehemently and publicly reproving the Jews, by revealing through the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.	28 Perciocchè con grande sforzo convinceva pubblicamente i Giudei, dimostrando per le scritture che Gesù è il Cristo
