Actuum Apostolorum 20
1 Postquam autem cessavit tumultus, vocatis Paulus discipulis, et exhortatus eos, valedixit, et profectus est ut iret in Macedoniam.
After the tumult had ceased, Paul called the disciples to him, and bade them farewell, and departed, in order to go into Macedonia.
2 Cum autem perambulasset partes illas, et exhortatus eos fuisset multo sermone, venit ad Graeciam:
And when he had gone through those regions, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 ubi cum fecisset menses tres, factae sunt illi insidiae a Iudaeis navigaturo in Syriam: habuitque consilium ut reverteretur per Macedoniam.
And having remained there three months, he determined to return through Macedonia, because a plot had been laid for him by the Jews, as he was about to sail to Syria.
4 Comitatus est autem eum Sosipater Pyrrhi Beroeensis, Thessalonicensium vero Aristarchus, et Secundus, et Gaius Derbeus, et Timotheus: Asiani vero Tychicus, et Trophimus.
And Sopater of Berea, and Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy and Tychicus and Trophimus, who were Asiatics, accompanied him to Asia.
5 Hi cum praecessissent, sustinuerunt nos Troade:
These went before, and waited for us at Troas.
6 nos vero navigavimus post dies Azymorum a Philippis, et venimus ad eos Troadem in diebus quinque, ubi demorati sumus diebus septem.
But we sailed from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we remained seven days.
7 Una autem Sabbati cum convenissemus ad frangendum panem, Paulus disputabat cum eis profecturus in crastinum, protraxitque sermonem usque in mediam noctem.
And on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, intending to depart on the morrow; and he continued his speech till midnight.
8 Erant autem lampades copiosae in coenaculo, ubi eramus congregati.
And there were many lamps in the upper room, in which they had met together.
9 Sedens autem quidam adolescens nomine Eutychus super fenestram, cum mergeretur somno gravi, disputante diu Paulo, ductus somno cecidit de tertio coenaculo deorsum, et sublatus est mortuus.
And a certain young man, named Eutychus, was sitting in the window, overpowered with deep sleep: and, as Paul was discoursing a long time, being oppressed with sleep, he fell from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 Ad quem cum descendisset Paulus, incubuit super eum: et complexus dixit: Nolite turbari, anima enim ipsius in ipso est.
But Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his life is in him.
11 Ascendens autem, frangensque panem, et gustans, satisque allocutus est usque in lucem, et sic profectus est.
And he went up again, and broke bread, and ate; and having conversed a long time, till daylight, he thus departed.
12 Adduxerunt autem puerum viventem, et consolati sunt non minime.
And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 Nos autem ascendentes navem, navigavimus in Asson, inde suscepturi Paulum: sic enim disposuerat ipse per terram iter facturus.
And we went on before to the ship, and put to sea for Assos, intending to take Paul on board at that place; for he had so directed, intending to go himself on foot.
14 Cum autem convenissemus in Asson, assumpto eo, venimus Mitylenen.
And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board, and came to Mitylene;
15 Et inde navigantes, sequenti die venimus contra Chium, et alia die applicuimus Samum, et sequenti die venimus Miletum.
and sailing from that place, we came, on the following day, opposite to Chios; and, on the next day, we arrived at Samos: and after stopping at Trogyllium, we came, on the next day, to Miletus.
16 proposuerat enim Paulus transnavigare Ephesum, nequa mora illi fieret in Asia. Festinabat enim, si possibile sibi esset, ut diem Pentecostes faceret Ierosolymis.
For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not spend time in Asia; for he hastened, that, if it were possible for him, he might be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 A Mileto autem mittens Ephesum, vocavit Maiores natu Ecclesiae.
From Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
18 Qui cum venissent ad eum, et simul essent, dixit eis: Vos scitis a prima die, qua ingressus sum in Asiam, qualiter vobiscum per omne tempus fuerim,
And when they had come to him, he said to them: You know, from the first day on which I came into Asia, how I have been with you during the whole time,
19 serviens Domino cum omni humilitate, et lacrymis, et tentationibus, quae mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Iudaeorum:
serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials, which came upon me through the plots of the Jews;
20 quomodo nihil subtraxerim vobis utilium, quominus annunciarem vobis, et docerem vos publice, et per domos,
and that I have kept back nothing that was profitable, but have preached to you, and taught you both publicly, and from house to house,
21 testificans Iudaeis, atque Gentilibus in Deum poenitentiam, et fidem in Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum.
bearing full testimony both to Jews and to Greeks, of the repentance that leads to God, and of the faith that leads to our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Et nunc ecce alligatus ego spiritu, vado in Ierusalem: quae in ea ventura sint mihi, ignorans:
And now, behold, I am going, bound in spirit, to Jerusalem, not knowing what shall befall me there,
23 nisi quod Spiritus sanctus per omnes civitates mihi protestatur, dicens: quoniam vincula, et tribulationes Ierosolymis me manent.
except that in every city the Holy Spirit testifies to me, saying, That bonds and afflictions await me.
24 Sed nihil horum vereor: nec facio animam meam pretiosiorem quam me, dummodo consummem cursum meum, et ministerium verbi, quod accepi a Domino Iesu, testificari Evangelium gratiae Dei.
But I esteem this a matter of no importance, nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course with joy, and the ministry that I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.
25 Et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam vos omnes, per quos transivi praedicans regnum Dei.
And now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more.
26 Quapropter contestor vos hodierna die, quia mundus sum a sanguine omnium.
For this reason I solemnly affirm to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all men.
27 Non enim subterfugi, quominus annunciarem omne consilium Dei vobis.
For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.
28 Attendite vobis, et universo gregi, in quo vos Spiritus sanctus posuit episcopos regere Ecclesiam Dei, quam acquisivit sanguine suo.
Therefore, take heed to yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, that you be shepherds to the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.
29 Ego scio quoniam intrabunt post discessionem meam lupi rapaces in vos, non parcentes gregi.
For I know this, that, after my departure, rapacious wolves will enter in among you, who will not spare the flock;
30 Et ex vobisipsis exurgent viri loquentes perversa, ut abducant discipulos post se.
and men will arise from among yourselves, speaking perverse things, that they may draw off disciples after them.
31 Propter quod vigilate memoria retinentes: quoniam per triennium nocte et die non cessavi, cum lacrymis monens unumquemque vestrum.
Therefore watch, remembering that for three years, by day and by night, I ceased not to warn every one of you with tears.
32 Et nunc commendo vos Deo, et verbo gratiae ipsius, qui potens est aedificare, et dare hereditatem in sanctificatis omnibus.
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace; to Him who is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33 Argentum, et aurum, aut vestem nullius concupivi, sicut
I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 ipsi scitis: quoniam ad ea, quae mihi opus erant, et his, qui mecum sunt, ministraverunt manus istae.
You yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my necessities, and to those who were with me.
35 Omnia ostendi vobis, quoniam sic laborantes, oportet suscipere infirmos, ac meminisse verbi Domini Iesu, quoniam ipse dixit: Beatius est magis dare, quam accipere.
In all things I have taught you by example, that by thus laboring, you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus; for he himself said, It is more blessed to give, than to receive.
36 Et cum haec dixisset, positis genibus suis oravit cum omnibus illis.
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down and prayed with them all.
37 Magnus autem fletus factus est omnium: et procumbentes super collum Pauli, osculabantur eum,
And they all wept much, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,
38 dolentes maxime in verbo, quod dixerat, quoniam amplius faciem eius non essent visuri. Et deducebant eum ad navem.
grieving most of all for the word he had spoken, that they would see his face no more. And they conducted him to the ship.
