Actuum Apostolorum 21
1 Cum autem factum esset ut navigaremus abstracti ab eis, recto cursu venimus Coum, et sequenti die Rhodum, et inde Pataram.
And when it came to pass that we were parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 Et cum invenissemus navem transfretantem in Phœnicen, ascendentes navigavimus.
and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
3 Cum apparuissemus autem Cypro, relinquentes eam ad sinistram, navigavimus in Syriam, et venimus Tyrum: ibi enim navis expositura erat onus.
And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 Inventis autem discipulis, mansimus ibi diebus septem: qui Paulo dicebant per Spiritum ne ascenderet Ierosolymam.
And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.
5 Et expletis diebus profecti ibamus, deducentibus nos omnibus cum uxoribus, et filiis usque foras civitatem: et positis genibus in littore, oravimus.
And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and bade each other farewell;
6 Et cum valefecissemus invicem, ascendimus navem: illi autem redierunt in sua.
and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.
7 Nos vero navigatione expleta a Tyro descendimus Ptolemaidam: et salutatis fratribus, mansimus die una apud illos.
And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 Alia autem die profecti, venimus Cæsaream. Et intrantes domum Philippi evangelistæ, qui erat unus de septem, mansimus apud eum.
And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
9 Huic autem erant quattuor filiæ virgines prophetantes.
Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.
10 Et cum moraremur per dies aliquot, supervenit quidam a Iudæa propheta, nomine Agabus.
And as we tarried there some days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 Is cum venisset ad nos, tulit zonam Pauli: et alligans sibi pedes, et manus dixit: Hæc dicit Spiritus sanctus: Virum, cuius est zona hæc, sic alligabunt in Ierusalem Iudæi, et tradent in manus Gentium.
And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Quod cum audissemus, rogabamus nos, et qui loci illius erant, ne ascenderet Ierosolymam.
And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Tunc respondit Paulus, et dixit: Quid facitis flentes, et affligentes cor meum? Ego enim non solum alligari, sed et mori in Ierusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Iesu.
Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Et cum ei suadere non possemus, quievimus, dicentes: Domini voluntas fiat.
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Post dies autem istos præparati, ascendebamus in Ierusalem.
And after these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Venerunt autem et ex discipulis a Cæsarea nobiscum, adducentes secum apud quem hospitaremur Mnasonem quendam Cyprium, antiquum discipulum.
And there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Cæsarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Et cum venissemus Ierosolymam, libenter exceperunt nos fratres.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Sequenti autem die introibat Paulus nobiscum ad Iacobum, omnesque collecti sunt seniores.
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19 Quos cum salutasset, narrabat per singula, quæ Deus fecisset in Gentibus per ministerium ipsius.
And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 At illi cum audissent, magnificabant Deum, dixeruntque ei: Vides frater, quot millia sunt in Iudæis, qui crediderunt, et omnes æmulatores sunt legis.
And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them that have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:
21 Audierunt autem de te quia discessionem doceas a Moyse eorum, qui per Gentes sunt, Iudæorum: dicens non debere eos circumcidere filios suos, neque secundum consuetudinem ingredi.
and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 Quid ergo est? utique oportet convenire multitudinem: audient enim te supervenisse.
What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come.
23 Hoc ergo fac quod tibi dicimus: Sunt nobis viri quattuor, votum habentes super se.
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men that have a vow on them;
24 His assumptis, sanctifica te cum illis: et impende in illis ut radant capita: et scient omnes quia quæ de te audierunt, falsa sunt, sed ambulas et ipse custodiens legem.
these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.
25 De his autem, qui crediderunt ex Gentibus, nos scripsimus iudicantes ut abstineant se ab idolis, immolato, et sanguine, et suffocato, et fornicatione.
But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.
26 Tunc Paulus, assumptis viris, postera die purificatus cum illis intravit in templum, annuncians expletionem dierum purificationis, donec offerretur pro unoquoque eorum oblatio.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Dum autem septem dies consummarentur, hi, qui de Asia erant, Iudæi, cum vidissent eum in templo, concitaverunt omnem populum, et iniecerunt ei manus, clamantes:
And when the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
28 Viri Israelitæ, adiuvate: hic est homo, qui adversus populum, et legem, et locum hunc, omnes ubique docens, insuper et Gentiles induxit in templum, et violavit sanctum locum istum.
crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.
29 Viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium in civitate cum ipso, quem æstimaverunt quoniam in templum introduxisset Paulus.
For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
30 Commotaque est civitas tota, et facta est concursio populi. Et apprehendentes Paulum, trahebant eum extra templum: et statim clausæ sunt ianuæ.
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.
31 Quærentibus autem eum occidere, nunciatum est tribuno cohortis: Quia tota confunditur Ierusalem.
And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
32 Qui statim assumptis militibus, et centurionibus, decurrit ad illos. Qui cum vidissent tribunum, et milites, cessaverunt percutere Paulum.
And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
33 Tunc accedens tribunus apprehendit eum, et iussit eum alligari catenis duabus: et interrogabat quis esset, et quid fecisset.
Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
34 Alii autem aliud clamabant in turba. Et cum non posset certum cognoscere præ tumultu, iussit duci eum in castra.
And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.
35 Et cum venisset ad gradus, contigit ut portaretur a militibus propter vim populi.
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;
36 Sequebatur enim multitudo populi, clamans: Tolle eum.
for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.
37 Et cum cœpisset induci in castra Paulus, dicit tribuno: Si licet mihi loqui aliquid ad te? Qui dixit: Græce nosti?
And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
38 Nonne tu es Ægyptius, qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti, et eduxisti in desertum quattuor millia virorum sicariorum?
Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 Et dixit ad eum Paulus: Ego homo sum quidem Iudæus a Tarso Ciliciæ, non ignotæ civitatis municeps. Rogo autem te, permitte mihi loqui ad populum.
But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.
40 Et cum ille permisisset, Paulus stans in gradibus, annuit manu ad plebem, et magno silentio facto, allocutus est lingua Hebræa, dicens:
And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,
