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 it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the [day] following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2 Et cum invenissemus navem transfretantem in Phoenicen, ascendentes navigavimus.
And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Cum apparuissemus autem Cypro, relinquentes eam ad sinistram, navigavimus in Syriam, et venimus Tyrum: ibi enim navis expositura erat onus.
Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into 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 finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to 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 we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 Et cum valefecissemus invicem, ascendimus navem: illi autem redierunt in sua.
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and 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 [our] course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8 Alia autem die profecti, venimus Caesaream. Et intrantes domum Philippi evangelistae, qui erat unus de septem, mansimus apud eum.
And the next [day] we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was [one] of the seven; and abode with him.
9 Huic autem erant quattuor filiae virgines prophetantes.
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 Et cum moraremur per dies aliquot, supervenit quidam vir a Iudaea propheta, nomine Agabus.
And as we tarried [there] many 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: Haec dicit Spiritus sanctus: Virum, cuius est zona haec, sic alligabunt in Ierusalem Iudaei, et tradent in manus Gentium.
And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, 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 mean ye to weep and to break mine 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 praeparati, ascendebamus in Ierusalem.
And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Venerunt autem quidam ex discipulis a Caesarea nobiscum, adducentes secum apud quem hospitaremur Iasonem quendam Cyprium, antiquum discipulum.
There went with us also [certain] of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old 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, quae Deus fecisset in Gentibus per ministerium ipsius.
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 At illi cum audissent, magnificabant Deum, dixeruntque ei: Vides frater, quot millia sunt in Iudaeis, qui crediderunt, et omnes aemulatores sunt legis.
And when they heard [it], they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21 Audierunt autem de te quia discessionem doceas a Moyse eorum, qui per Gentes sunt, Iudaeorum: dicens non debere eos circumcidere filios suos, neque secundum consuetudinem ingredi.
And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought 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? the multitude must needs come together: for they will 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 which have a vow on them;
24 His assumptis, sanctifica te cum illis: et impende in illis ut radant capita: et scient omnes quia quae de te audierunt, falsa sunt, sed ambulas et ipse custodiens legem.
Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave [their] heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but [that] thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest 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.
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written [and] concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from [things] offered to idols, and from blood, and from 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 entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 Dum autem septem dies consummarentur, hi, qui de Asia erant, Iudaei, cum vidissent eum in templo, concitaverunt omnem populum, et iniecerunt ei manus, clamantes:
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 Viri Israelitae, 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] every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29 Viderant enim Throphimum Ephesium in civitate cum ipso, quem aestimaverunt quoniam in templum introduxisset Paulus.
(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an 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 clausae sunt ianuae.
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
31 Quaerentibus autem eum occidere, nunciatum est tribuno cohortis: Quia tota confunditur Ierusalem.
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Qui statim assumptis militibus, et centurionibus, decurrit ad illos. Qui cum vidissent tribunum, et milites, cessaverunt percutere Paulum.
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of 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 took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 Alii autem aliud clamabant in turba. Et cum non posset certum cognoscere prae tumultu, iussit duci eum in castra.
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried 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 people.
36 Sequebatur enim multitudo populi, clamans: Tolle eum.
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37 Et cum coepisset induci in castra Paulus, dicit tribuno: Si licet mihi loqui aliquid ad te? Qui dixit ei: Graece nosti?
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Nonne tu es Aegyptius, qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti, et eduxisti in desertum quattuor millia virorum sicariorum?
Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 Et dixit ad eum Paulus: Ego homo sum quidem Iudaeus a Tarso Ciliciae, non ignotae civitatis municeps. Rogo autem te, permitte mihi loqui ad populum.
But Paul said, I am a man [which am] a Jew of Tarsus, [a city] in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me 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 Hebraea, dicens:
And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto [them] in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
