Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
Factum est autem, cum Apollo esset Corinthi, ut Paulus peragratis superioribus partibus veniret Ephesum, et inveniret quosdam Discipulos:
2 he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].
dixitque ad eos: Si Spiritum sanctum accepistis credentes? At illi dixerunt ad eum: Sed neque si Spiritus sanctus est, audivimus.
3 And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.
Ille vero ait: In quo ergo baptizati estis? Qui dixerunt: In Ioannis baptismate.
4 And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.
Dixit autem Paulus: Ioannes baptizavit baptismo pœnitentiæ populum, dicens: In eum, qui venturus esset post ipsum, ut crederent, hoc est, in Iesum.
5 And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.
His auditis, baptizati sunt in nomine Domini Iesu.
6 And Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
Et cum imposuisset illis manus Paulus, venit Spiritus sanctus super eos, et loquebantur linguis, et prophetabant.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Erant autem omnes viri fere duodecim.
8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading [the things] concerning the kingdom of God.
Introgressus autem synagogam, cum fiducia loquebatur per tres menses, disputans, et suadens de regno Dei.
9 But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
Cum autem quidam indurarentur, et non crederent, maledicentes viam Domini coram multitudine, discedens ab eis, segregavit discipulos, quotidie disputans in schola tyranni cuiusdam.
10 And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Hoc autem factum est per biennium, ita ut omnes, qui habitabant in Asia, audirent verbum Domini, Iudæi atque Gentiles.
11 And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
Virtutesque non quaslibet faciebat Deus per manum Pauli:
12 so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.
ita ut etiam super languidos deferrentur a corpore eius sudaria, et semicinctia, et recedebant ab eis languores, et spiritus nequam egrediebantur.
13 And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.
Tentaverunt autem quidam et de circumeuntibus Iudæis exorcistis, invocare super eos, qui habebant spiritus malos, nomen Domini Iesu, dicentes: Adiuro vos per Iesum, quem Paulus prædicat.
14 And there were certain [men], seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.
Erant autem quidam Iudæi Scevæ principis sacerdotum septem filii, qui hoc faciebant.
15 But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but ye, who are ye?
Respondens autem spiritus nequam dixit eis: Iesum novi, et Paulum scio: vos autem qui estis?
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Et insiliens in eos homo, in quo erat dæmonium pessimum, et dominatus amborum, invaluit contra eos, ita ut nudi, et vulnerati effugerent de domo illa.
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Hoc autem notum factum est omnibus Iudæis, atque Gentilibus, qui habitabant Ephesi: et cecidit timor super omnes illos, et magnificabatur nomen Domini Iesu.
18 And many of those that believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.
Multique credentium veniebant, confitentes, et annunciantes actus suos.
19 And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Multi autem ex eis, qui fuerant curiosa sectati, contulerunt libros, et combusserunt coram omnibus: et computatis pretiis illorum, invenerunt pecuniam denariorum quinquaginta millium.
20 Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed.
Ita fortiter crescebat verbum Dei, et confirmabatur.
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome also.
His autem expletis, proposuit Paulus in Spiritu, transita Macedonia et Achaia ire Ierosolymam, dicens: quoniam postquam fuero ibi, oportet me et Romam videre.
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timotheus and Erastus, he remained himself awhile in Asia.
Mittens autem in Macedoniam duos ex ministrantibus sibi, Timotheum, et Erastum, ipse remansit ad tempus in Asia.
23 And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way.
Facta est autem illo tempore turbatio non minima de via Domini.
24 For a certain [man] by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;
Demetrius enim quidam nomine, argentarius, faciens ædes argenteas Dianæ, præstabat artificibus non modicum quæstum:
25 whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,
quos convocans, et eos, qui huiusmodi erant opifices, dixit: Viri, scitis quia de hoc artificio est nobis acquisitio:
26 and ye see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with hands.
et videtis, et auditis quia non solum Ephesi, sed pene totius Asiæ, Paulus hic suadens avertit multam turbam, dicens: Quoniam non sunt dii, qui manibus fiunt.
27 Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.
Non solum autem hæc periclitabitur nobis pars in redargutionem venire, sed et magnæ Dianæ templum in nihilum reputabitur, sed et destrui incipiet maiestas eius, quam tota Asia, et orbis colit.
28 And having heard [this], and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
His auditis, repleti sunt ira, et exclamaverunt dicentes: Magna Diana Ephesiorum.
29 And the [whole] city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
Et impleta est civitas confusione, et impetum fecerunt uno animo in theatrum, rapto Gaio, et Aristarcho Macedonibus, comitibus Pauli.
30 But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;
Paulo autem volente intrare in populum, non permiserunt discipuli.
31 and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.
Quidam autem et de Asiæ principibus, qui erant amici eius, miserunt ad eum rogantes ne se daret in theatrum:
32 Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.
alii autem aliud clamabant. Erat enim Ecclesia confusa: et plures nesciebant qua ex causa convenissent.
33 But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.
De turba autem detraxerunt Alexandrum, propellentibus eum Iudæis. Alexander autem manu silentio postulato, volebat reddere rationem populo.
34 But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
Quem ut cognoverunt Iudæum esse, vox facta una est omnium, quasi per horas duas clamantium: Magna Diana Ephesiorum.
35 And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven?
Et cum sedasset scriba turbas, dixit: Viri Ephesii, quis enim est hominum, qui nesciat Ephesiorum civitatem cultricem esse magnæ Dianæ, Iovisque prolis?
36 These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.
Cum ergo his contradici non possit, oportet vos sedatos esse, et nihil temere agere.
37 For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.
Adduxistis enim homines istos, neque sacrilegos, neque blasphemantes deam vestram.
38 If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
Quod si Demetrius, et qui cum eo sunt artifices, habent adversus aliquem causam, conventus forenses aguntur, et proconsules sunt, accusent invicem.
39 But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
Si quid autem alterius rei quæritis: in legitima Ecclesia poterit absolvi.
40 For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
Nam et periclitamur argui seditionis hodiernæ: cum nullus obnoxius sit (de quo possimus reddere rationem) concursus istius.
41 And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Et cum hæc dixisset, dimisit Ecclesiam.
