Πραξεις 21
1 ωσ δε εγενετο αναχθηναι ημασ αποσπασθεντασ απ αυτων ευθυδρομησαντεσ ηλθομεν εισ την κων τη δε εξησ εισ την ροδον κακειθεν εισ παταρα
And as we launched forth, and were departed from them, we came with a straight course vnto Coos, and the day following vnto the Rhodes, and from thence vnto Patara.
2 και ευροντεσ πλοιον διαπερων εισ φοινικην επιβαντεσ ανηχθημεν
And we found a ship that went ouer vnto Phenice, and went aboard, and set forth.
3 αναφανεντεσ δε την κυπρον και καταλιποντεσ αυτην ευωνυμον επλεομεν εισ συριαν και κατηχθημεν εισ τυρον εκεισε γαρ ην το πλοιον αποφορτιζομενον τον γομον
And whe we had discouered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed toward Syria, and arriued at Tyrus: for there the ship vnladed ye burden.
4 και ανευροντεσ μαθητασ επεμειναμεν αυτου ημερασ επτα οιτινεσ τω παυλω ελεγον δια του πνευματοσ μη αναβαινειν εισ ιερουσαλημ
And when we had found disciples, we taried there seuen dayes. And they told Paul through the Spirit, that he should not goe vp to Hierusalem.
5 οτε δε εγενετο ημασ εξαρτισαι τασ ημερασ εξελθοντεσ επορευομεθα προπεμποντων ημασ παντων συν γυναιξιν και τεκνοισ εωσ εξω τησ πολεωσ και θεντεσ τα γονατα επι τον αιγιαλον προσηυξαμεθα
But when the dayes were ended, we departed and went our way, and they all accompanied vs with their wiues and children, euen out of the citie: and we kneeling downe on the shore, prayed.
6 και ασπασαμενοι αλληλουσ επεβημεν εισ το πλοιον εκεινοι δε υπεστρεψαν εισ τα ιδια
Then when we had embraced one another, we tooke ship, and they returned home.
7 ημεισ δε τον πλουν διανυσαντεσ απο τυρου κατηντησαμεν εισ πτολεμαιδα και ασπασαμενοι τουσ αδελφουσ εμειναμεν ημεραν μιαν παρ αυτοισ
And when we had ended the course from Tyrus, we arriued at Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 τη δε επαυριον εξελθοντεσ οι περι τον παυλον ηλθον εισ καισαρειαν και εισελθοντεσ εισ τον οικον φιλιππου του ευαγγελιστου οντοσ εκ των επτα εμειναμεν παρ αυτω
And the next day, Paul and we that were with him, departed, and came vnto Cesarea: and we entred into the house of Philippe the Euangelist, which was one of the seuen Deacons, and abode with him.
9 τουτω δε ησαν θυγατερεσ παρθενοι τεσσαρεσ προφητευουσαι
Now he had foure daughters virgins, which did prophecie.
10 επιμενοντων δε ημων ημερασ πλειουσ κατηλθεν τισ απο τησ ιουδαιασ προφητησ ονοματι αγαβοσ
And as we taried there many dayes, there came a certaine Prophet from Iudea, named Agabus.
11 και ελθων προσ ημασ και αρασ την ζωνην του παυλου δησασ τε αυτου τουσ ποδασ και τασ χειρασ ειπεν ταδε λεγει το πνευμα το αγιον τον ανδρα ου εστιν η ζωνη αυτη ουτωσ δησουσιν εν ιερουσαλημ οι ιουδαιοι και παραδωσουσιν εισ χειρασ εθνων
And when he was come vnto vs, he tooke Pauls girdle, and bound his owne hands and feete, and sayd, Thus sayth the holy Ghost, So shall the Iewes at Hierusalem binde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall deliuer him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 ωσ δε ηκουσαμεν ταυτα παρεκαλουμεν ημεισ τε και οι εντοπιοι του μη αναβαινειν αυτον εισ ιερουσαλημ
And when we had heard these things, both we and other of the same place besought him that he would not go vp to Hierusalem.
13 απεκριθη τε ο παυλοσ τι ποιειτε κλαιοντεσ και συνθρυπτοντεσ μου την καρδιαν εγω γαρ ου μονον δεθηναι αλλα και αποθανειν εισ ιερουσαλημ ετοιμωσ εχω υπερ του ονοματοσ του κυριου ιησου
Then Paul answered, and sayd, What doe ye weeping and breaking mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound onely, but also to die at Hierusalem for the Name of the Lord Iesus.
14 μη πειθομενου δε αυτου ησυχασαμεν ειποντεσ το θελημα του κυριου γενεσθω
So when he would not be perswaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 μετα δε τασ ημερασ ταυτασ επισκευασαμενοι ανεβαινομεν εισ ιερουσαλημ
And after those dayes we trussed vp our fardels, and went vp to Hierusalem.
16 συνηλθον δε και των μαθητων απο καισαρειασ συν ημιν αγοντεσ παρ ω ξενισθωμεν μνασωνι τινι κυπριω αρχαιω μαθητη
There went with vs also certaine of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an olde disciple, with whome we should lodge.
17 γενομενων δε ημων εισ ιεροσολυμα ασμενωσ εδεξαντο ημασ οι αδελφοι
And when we were come to Hierusalem, the brethren receiued vs gladly.
18 τη δε επιουση εισηει ο παυλοσ συν ημιν προσ ιακωβον παντεσ τε παρεγενοντο οι πρεσβυτεροι
And the next day Paul went in with vs vnto Iames: and all the Elders were there assembled.
19 και ασπασαμενοσ αυτουσ εξηγειτο καθ εν εκαστον ων εποιησεν ο θεοσ εν τοισ εθνεσιν δια τησ διακονιασ αυτου
And when he had embraced them, hee tolde by order all things, that God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministration.
20 οι δε ακουσαντεσ εδοξαζον τον κυριον ειποντεσ αυτω θεωρεισ αδελφε ποσαι μυριαδεσ εισιν ιουδαιων των πεπιστευκοτων και παντεσ ζηλωται του νομου υπαρχουσιν
So when they heard it, they glorified God, and sayd vnto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousand Iewes there are which beleeue, and they are all zealous of the Law:
21 κατηχηθησαν δε περι σου οτι αποστασιαν διδασκεισ απο μωυσεωσ τουσ κατα τα εθνη παντασ ιουδαιουσ λεγων μη περιτεμνειν αυτουσ τα τεκνα μηδε τοισ εθεσιν περιπατειν
Now they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Iewes, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their sonnes, neither to liue after the customes.
22 τι ουν εστιν παντωσ δει πληθοσ συνελθειν ακουσονται γαρ οτι εληλυθασ
What is then to be done? the multitude must needes come together: for they shall heare that thou art come.
23 τουτο ουν ποιησον ο σοι λεγομεν εισιν ημιν ανδρεσ τεσσαρεσ ευχην εχοντεσ εφ εαυτων
Doe therefore this that we say to thee. We haue foure men, which haue made a vowe,
24 τουτουσ παραλαβων αγνισθητι συν αυτοισ και δαπανησον επ αυτοισ ινα ξυρησωνται την κεφαλην και γνωσιν παντεσ οτι ων κατηχηνται περι σου ουδεν εστιν αλλα στοιχεισ και αυτοσ τον νομον φυλασσων
Them take, and purifie thy selfe with them, and contribute with them, that they may shaue their heads: and all shall knowe, that those things, whereof they haue bene informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thy selfe also walkest and keepest the Lawe.
25 περι δε των πεπιστευκοτων εθνων ημεισ επεστειλαμεν κριναντεσ μηδεν τοιουτον τηρειν αυτουσ ει μη φυλασσεσθαι αυτουσ το τε ειδωλοθυτον και το αιμα και πνικτον και πορνειαν
For as touching ye Gentiles, which beleeue, we haue written, and determined that they obserue no such thing, but that they keepe themselues from things offred to idoles, and from blood, and from that that is strangled, and from fornication.
26 τοτε ο παυλοσ παραλαβων τουσ ανδρασ τη εχομενη ημερα συν αυτοισ αγνισθεισ εισηει εισ το ιερον διαγγελλων την εκπληρωσιν των ημερων του αγνισμου εωσ ου προσηνεχθη υπερ ενοσ εκαστου αυτων η προσφορα
Then Paul tooke the men, and the next day was purified with them, and entred into the Temple, declaring the accomplishment of the dayes of the purification, vntill that an offering should be offered for euery one of them.
27 ωσ δε εμελλον αι επτα ημεραι συντελεισθαι οι απο τησ ασιασ ιουδαιοι θεασαμενοι αυτον εν τω ιερω συνεχεον παντα τον οχλον και επεβαλον τασ χειρασ επ αυτον
And when the seuen dayes were almost ended, the Iewes which were of Asia (when they sawe him in the Temple) moued all the people, and laide hands on him,
28 κραζοντεσ ανδρεσ ισραηλιται βοηθειτε ουτοσ εστιν ο ανθρωποσ ο κατα του λαου και του νομου και του τοπου τουτου παντασ πανταχου διδασκων ετι τε και ελληνασ εισηγαγεν εισ το ιερον και κεκοινωκεν τον αγιον τοπον τουτον
Crying, Men of Israel, helpe: this is the man that teacheth all men euery where against the people, and the Lawe, and this place: moreouer, he hath brought Grecians into the Temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29 ησαν γαρ εωρακοτεσ τροφιμον τον εφεσιον εν τη πολει συν αυτω ον ενομιζον οτι εισ το ιερον εισηγαγεν ο παυλοσ
For they had seene before Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the citie, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the Temple.
30 εκινηθη τε η πολισ ολη και εγενετο συνδρομη του λαου και επιλαβομενοι του παυλου ειλκον αυτον εξω του ιερου και ευθεωσ εκλεισθησαν αι θυραι
Then all the citie was moued, and the people ran together: and they tooke Paul and drewe him out of the Temple, and forth with the doores were shut.
31 ζητουντων δε αυτον αποκτειναι ανεβη φασισ τω χιλιαρχω τησ σπειρησ οτι ολη συγκεχυται ιερουσαλημ
But as they went about to kill him, tydings came vnto the chiefe captaine of the band, that all Hierusalem was on an vproare.
32 οσ εξαυτησ παραλαβων στρατιωτασ και εκατονταρχουσ κατεδραμεν επ αυτουσ οι δε ιδοντεσ τον χιλιαρχον και τουσ στρατιωτασ επαυσαντο τυπτοντεσ τον παυλον
Who immediately tooke souldiers and Centurions, and ran downe vnto them: and when they sawe the chiefe Captaine and the souldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33 εγγισασ δε ο χιλιαρχοσ επελαβετο αυτου και εκελευσεν δεθηναι αλυσεσιν δυσιν και επυνθανετο τισ αν ειη και τι εστιν πεποιηκωσ
Then the chiefe Captaine came neere and tooke him, and commanded him to be bound with two chaines, and demaunded who he was, and what he had done.
34 αλλοι δε αλλο τι εβοων εν τω οχλω μη δυναμενοσ δε γνωναι το ασφαλεσ δια τον θορυβον εκελευσεν αγεσθαι αυτον εισ την παρεμβολην
And one cryed this, another that, among the people. So when he could not know the certeintie for the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the castell.
35 οτε δε εγενετο επι τουσ αναβαθμουσ συνεβη βασταζεσθαι αυτον υπο των στρατιωτων δια την βιαν του οχλου
And when hee came vnto the grieces, it was so that he was borne of the souldiers, for the violence of the people.
36 ηκολουθει γαρ το πληθοσ του λαου κραζον αιρε αυτον
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37 μελλων τε εισαγεσθαι εισ την παρεμβολην ο παυλοσ λεγει τω χιλιαρχω ει εξεστιν μοι ειπειν προσ σε ο δε εφη ελληνιστι γινωσκεισ
And as Paul should haue bene led into the castell, he sayd vnto the chiefe Captaine, May I speake vnto thee? Who sayd, Canst thou speake Greeke?
38 ουκ αρα συ ει ο αιγυπτιοσ ο προ τουτων των ημερων αναστατωσασ και εξαγαγων εισ την ερημον τουσ τετρακισχιλιουσ ανδρασ των σικαριων
Art not thou the Egyptian who before these dayes raised a sedition, and led out into the wildernesse foure thousande men that were murtherers?
39 ειπεν δε ο παυλοσ εγω ανθρωποσ μεν ειμι ιουδαιοσ ταρσευσ τησ κιλικιασ ουκ ασημου πολεωσ πολιτησ δεομαι δε σου επιτρεψον μοι λαλησαι προσ τον λαον
Then Paul sayde, Doubtlesse, I am a man which am a Iewe, and citizen of Tarsus, a famous citie of Cilicia, and I beseech thee, suffer mee to speake vnto the people.
40 επιτρεψαντοσ δε αυτου ο παυλοσ εστωσ επι των αναβαθμων κατεσεισεν τη χειρι τω λαω πολλησ δε σιγησ γενομενησ προσεφωνει τη εβραιδι διαλεκτω λεγων
And when he had giuen him licence, Paul stoode on the grieces, and beckened with the hand vnto the people: and when there was made great silence, hee spake vnto them in the Hebrewe tongue, saying,
