| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | ከዚህም በኋላ ጳውሎስ ከአቴና ወጥቶ ወደ ቆሮንቶስ መጣ። | After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; |
| 2 | በወገኑም የጳንጦስ ሰው የሚሆን አቂላ የሚሉትን አንድ አይሁዳዊ አገኘ፤ እርሱም ከጥቂት ጊዜ በፊት ከሚስቱ ከጵርስቅላ ጋር ከኢጣልያ መጥቶ ነበር፥ አይሁድ ከሮሜ ይወጡ ዘንድ ቀላውዴዎስ አዞ ነበርና፤ ወደ እነርሱ ቀረበ፥ | 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 | ሥራቸውም አንድ ስለ ነበረ በእነርሱ ዘንድ ተቀምጦ በአንድ ላይ ሠሩ፤ ሥራቸው ድንኳን መስፋት ነበረና። | And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. |
| 4 | በየሰንበቱም ሁሉ በምኵራብ ይነጋገር ነበር፥ አይሁድንና የግሪክንም ሰዎች ያስረዳ ነበር። | And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. |
| 5 | ሲላስና ጢሞቴዎስም ከመቄዶንያ በወረዱ ጊዜ፥ ጳውሎስ ኢየሱስ እርሱ ክርስቶስ እንደ ሆነ ለአይሁድ እየመሰከረ ለቃሉ ይተጋ ነበር። | 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 | ነገር ግን በተቃወሙትና በተሳደቡ ጊዜ፥ ልብሱን እያራገፈ። ደማችሁ በራሳችሁ ነው፤ እኔ ንጹሕ ነኝ ከእንግዲህ ወዲህ ወደ አሕዛብ እሄዳለሁ አላቸው። | 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 | ከዚያም ወጥቶ ኢዮስጦስ ወደሚባል እግዚአብሔርን ወደሚያመልክ ሰው ቤት ገባ ቤቱም በምኩራብ አጠገብ ነበረ። | 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 | የምኵራብ አለቃ ቀርስጶስም ከቤተ ሰዎቹ ሁሉ ጋር በጌታ አመነ፥ ከቆሮንቶስ ሰዎችም ብዙ በሰሙ ጊዜ አምነው ተጠመቁ። | 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 | ጌታም ሌሊት በራእይ ጳውሎስን። እኔ ከአንተ ጋር ነኝ፥ ማንም ክፉ ሊያደርግብህ የሚነሣብህ የለምና አትፍራ፥ ነገር ግን ተናገር ዝምም አትበል፤ በዚህ ከተማ ብዙ ሕዝብ አሉኝና አለው። | Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: |
| 11 | በመካከላቸውም የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል እያስተማረ ዓመት ከስድስት ወር ተቀመጠ። | And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. |
| 12 | ጋልዮስም በአካይያ አገረ ገዥ በነበረ ጊዜ፥ አይሁድ በአንድ ልብ ሆነው በጳውሎስ ላይ ተነሡ፥ ወደ ፍርድ ወንበርም አምጥተው። | 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 | ይህ ሕግን ተቃውሞ እግዚአብሔርን ያመልኩት ዘንድ ሰዎችን ያባብላል አሉ። | Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. |
| 14 | ጳውሎስም አፉን ሊከፍት ባሰበ ጊዜ፥ ጋልዮስ አይሁድን። አይሁድ ሆይ፥ ዓመፅ ወይም ክፉ በደል በሆነ እንድታገሣችሁ በተገባኝ፤ | 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 | ስለ ቃልና ስለ ስሞች ስለ ሕጋችሁም የምትከራከሩ ከሆነ ግን፥ ራሳችሁ ተጠንቀቁ እኔ በዚህ ነገር ፈራጅ እሆን ዘንድ አልፈቅድምና አላቸው። | 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 | ከፍርድ ወንበርም ፊት አስወጣቸው። | And he drave them from the judgment seat. |
| 17 | የግሪክ ሰዎችም ሁሉ የምኩራብ አለቃ ሶስቴንስን ይዘው በወንበሩ ፊት መቱት፤ በእነዚህም ነገሮች ጋልዮስ ግድ የለውም ነበር። | 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 | ከዚህም በኋላ ጳውሎስ እጅግ ቀን ተቀምጦ ወንድሞቹንም ተሰናብቶ በመርከብ ወደ ሶርያ ሄደ፤ ስለትም ነበረበትና ራሱን በክንክራኦስ ተላጨ፤ ጵርስቅላና አቂላም ከእርሱ ጋር ነበሩ። | 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 | ወደ ኤፌሶንም በደረሱ ጊዜ እነዚያን ከዚያ ተዋቸው፥ ራሱ ግን ወደ ምኵራብ ገብቶ ከአይሁድ ጋር ይነጋገር ነበር። | And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. |
| 20 | እነርሱም ብዙ ጊዜ እንዲቀመጥላቸው ሲለምኑት እሺ አላለም፤ | When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; |
| 21 | ነገር ግን ሲሰናበታቸው። የሚመጣውን በዓል በኢየሩሳሌም አደርግ ዘንድ ይገባኛል እግዚአብሔር ቢፈቅድ ግን ወደ እናንተ ደግሞ እመለሳለሁ አላቸው። ከኤፌሶንም በመርከብ ተነሣ። | 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 | ወደ ቂሣርያም በደረሰ ጊዜ ወጥቶ ለቤተ ክርስቲያን ሰላምታ ከሰጠ በኋላ ወደ አንጾኪያ ወረደ። | And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch. |
| 23 | ጥቂት ቀንም ቆይቶ ወጣ፥ ደቀ መዛሙርትንም ሁሉ እያጸና በገላትያ አገርና በፍርግያ በተራ አለፈ። | 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 | በወገኑም የእስክንድርያ ሰው የሆነ ነገር አዋቂ የነበረ አጵሎስ የሚሉት አንድ አይሁዳዊ ሰው ወደ ኤፌሶን ወረደ፤ እርሱም በመጻሕፍት እውቀት የበረታ ነበረ። | And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. |
| 25 | እርሱ የጌታን መንገድ የተማረ ነበረ፥ የዮሐንስንም ጥምቀት ብቻ አውቆ በመንፈስ ሲቃጠል ስለ ኢየሱስ ይናገርና በትክክል ያስተምር ነበር። | 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 | እርሱም በምኵራብ ገልጦ ይናገር ጀመር። ጵርስቅላና አቂላም በሰሙት ጊዜ፥ ወስደው የእግዚአብሔርን መንገድ ከፊት ይልቅ በትክክል ገለጡለት። | 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 | እርሱም ወደ አካይያ ማለፍ በፈቀደ ጊዜ፥ ወንድሞቹ አጸናኑት፥ ይቀበሉትም ዘንድ ወደ ደቀ መዛሙርት ጻፉለት፤ በደረሰም ጊዜ አምነው የነበሩትን በጸጋ እጅግ ይጠቅማቸው ነበር፤ | 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 | ኢየሱስ እርሱ ክርስቶስ እንደ ሆነ ከመጻሕፍት እየገለጠ ለአይሁድ በሁሉ ፊት በጽኑ ያስረዳቸው ነበርና። | For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ. |
| 10 | For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. |
