< Acts 21 >

1 And when, having got away from them, we at last sailed away, we came by a direct course to Cos, and on the morrow to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.
ως δε εγενετο αναχθηναι ημας αποσπασθεντας απ αυτων ευθυδρομησαντες ηλθομεν εις την κω τη δε εξης εις την ροδον κακειθεν εις παταρα
2 And having found a ship passing over into Phoenicia, we went on board and sailed;
και ευροντες πλοιον διαπερων εις φοινικην επιβαντες ανηχθημεν
3 and having sighted Cyprus, and left it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and made the land at Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.
αναφαναντες δε την κυπρον και καταλιποντες αυτην ευωνυμον επλεομεν εις συριαν και κατηλθομεν εις τυρον εκεισε γαρ το πλοιον ην αποφορτιζομενον τον γομον
4 And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
ανευροντες δε τους μαθητας επεμειναμεν αυτου ημερας επτα οιτινες τω παυλω ελεγον δια του πνευματος μη επιβαινειν εις ιεροσολυμα
5 But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed.
οτε δε εγενετο {VAR1: εξαρτισαι ημας } {VAR2: ημας εξαρτισαι } τας ημερας εξελθοντες επορευομεθα προπεμποντων ημας παντων συν γυναιξιν και τεκνοις εως εξω της πολεως και θεντες τα γονατα επι τον αιγιαλον προσευξαμενοι
6 And having embraced one another, we went on board ship, and they returned home.
απησπασαμεθα αλληλους και {VAR1: ενεβημεν } {VAR2: ανεβημεν } εις το πλοιον εκεινοι δε υπεστρεψαν εις τα ιδια
7 And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them.
ημεις δε τον πλουν διανυσαντες απο τυρου κατηντησαμεν εις πτολεμαιδα και ασπασαμενοι τους αδελφους εμειναμεν ημεραν μιαν παρ αυτοις
8 And leaving on the morrow, we came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.
τη δε επαυριον εξελθοντες ηλθομεν εις καισαρειαν και εισελθοντες εις τον οικον φιλιππου του ευαγγελιστου οντος εκ των επτα εμειναμεν παρ αυτω
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
τουτω δε ησαν θυγατερες τεσσαρες παρθενοι προφητευουσαι
10 And as we stayed there many days, a certain man, by name Agabus, a prophet, came down from Judaea,
επιμενοντων δε ημερας πλειους κατηλθεν τις απο της ιουδαιας προφητης ονοματι αγαβος
11 and coming to us and taking the girdle of Paul, and having bound his own hands and feet, said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up into the hands of [the] Gentiles.
και ελθων προς ημας και αρας την ζωνην του παυλου δησας εαυτου 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
12 And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place besought [him] not to go up to Jerusalem.
ως δε ηκουσαμεν ταυτα παρεκαλουμεν ημεις τε και οι εντοπιοι του μη αναβαινειν αυτον εις ιερουσαλημ
13 But Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
τοτε απεκριθη {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: 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
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
μη πειθομενου δε αυτου ησυχασαμεν ειποντες του κυριου το θελημα γινεσθω
15 And after these days, having got our effects ready, we went up to Jerusalem.
μετα δε τας ημερας ταυτας επισκευασαμενοι ανεβαινομεν εις ιεροσολυμα
16 And [some] of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing [with them] a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
συνηλθον δε και των μαθητων απο καισαρειας συν ημιν αγοντες παρ ω ξενισθωμεν μνασωνι τινι κυπριω αρχαιω μαθητη
17 And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.
γενομενων δε ημων εις ιεροσολυμα ασμενως απεδεξαντο ημας οι αδελφοι
18 And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.
τη δε επιουση εισηει ο παυλος συν ημιν προς ιακωβον παντες τε παρεγενοντο οι πρεσβυτεροι
19 And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry.
και ασπασαμενος αυτους εξηγειτο καθ εν εκαστον ων εποιησεν ο θεος εν τοις εθνεσιν δια της διακονιας αυτου
20 And they having heard [it] glorified God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law.
οι δε ακουσαντες εδοξαζον τον θεον ειπον τε αυτω θεωρεις αδελφε ποσαι μυριαδες εισιν εν τοις ιουδαιοις των πεπιστευκοτων και παντες ζηλωται του νομου υπαρχουσιν
21 And they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews among the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk in the customs.
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
22 What is it then? a multitude must necessarily come together, for they will hear that thou art come.
τι ουν εστιν παντως ακουσονται οτι εληλυθας
23 This do therefore that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;
τουτο ουν ποιησον ο σοι λεγομεν εισιν ημιν ανδρες τεσσαρες ευχην εχοντες {VAR1: αφ } {VAR2: εφ } εαυτων
24 take these and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their heads shaved; and all will know that [of those things] of which they have been informed about thee nothing is [true]; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.
τουτους παραλαβων αγνισθητι συν αυτοις και δαπανησον επ αυτοις ινα ξυρησονται την κεφαλην και γνωσονται παντες οτι ων κατηχηνται περι σου ουδεν εστιν αλλα στοιχεις και αυτος φυλασσων τον νομον
25 But concerning [those of] the nations who have believed, we have written, deciding that they should [observe no such thing, only to] keep themselves both from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.
περι δε των πεπιστευκοτων εθνων ημεις {VAR1: απεστειλαμεν } {VAR2: επεστειλαμεν } κριναντες φυλασσεσθαι αυτους το τε ειδωλοθυτον και αιμα και πνικτον και πορνειαν
26 Then Paul, taking the men, on the next day, having been purified, entered with them into the temple, signifying the time the days of the purification would be fulfilled, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
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
27 And when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, set all the crowd in a tumult, and laid hands upon him,
ως δε εμελλον αι επτα ημεραι συντελεισθαι οι απο της ασιας ιουδαιοι θεασαμενοι αυτον εν τω ιερω συνεχεον παντα τον οχλον και επεβαλον επ αυτον τας χειρας
28 crying, Israelites, help! this is the man who teaches all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and has brought Greeks too into the temple, and profaned this holy place.
κραζοντες ανδρες ισραηλιται βοηθειτε ουτος εστιν ο ανθρωπος ο κατα του λαου και του νομου και του τοπου τουτου παντας πανταχη διδασκων ετι τε και ελληνας εισηγαγεν εις το ιερον και κεκοινωκεν τον αγιον τοπον τουτον
29 For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
ησαν γαρ προεωρακοτες τροφιμον τον εφεσιον εν τη πολει συν αυτω ον ενομιζον οτι εις το ιερον εισηγαγεν ο παυλος
30 And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and having laid hold on Paul they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
εκινηθη τε η πολις ολη και εγενετο συνδρομη του λαου και επιλαβομενοι του παυλου ειλκον αυτον εξω του ιερου και ευθεως εκλεισθησαν αι θυραι
31 And as they were seeking to kill him, a representation came to the chiliarch of the band that the whole of Jerusalem was in a tumult;
ζητουντων τε αυτον αποκτειναι ανεβη φασις τω χιλιαρχω της σπειρης οτι ολη συγχυννεται ιερουσαλημ
32 who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.
ος εξαυτης παραλαβων στρατιωτας και εκατονταρχας κατεδραμεν επ αυτους οι δε ιδοντες τον χιλιαρχον και τους στρατιωτας επαυσαντο τυπτοντες τον παυλον
33 Then the chiliarch came up and laid hold upon him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he might be, and what he had done.
τοτε εγγισας ο χιλιαρχος επελαβετο αυτου και εκελευσεν δεθηναι αλυσεσιν δυσιν και επυνθανετο τις ειη και τι εστιν πεποιηκως
34 And different persons cried some different thing in the crowd. But he, not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded him to be brought into the fortress.
αλλοι δε αλλο τι επεφωνουν εν τω οχλω μη δυναμενου δε αυτου γνωναι το ασφαλες δια τον θορυβον εκελευσεν αγεσθαι αυτον εις την παρεμβολην
35 But when he got upon the stairs it was so that he was borne by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd.
οτε δε εγενετο επι τους αναβαθμους συνεβη βασταζεσθαι αυτον υπο των στρατιωτων δια την βιαν του οχλου
36 For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
ηκολουθει γαρ το πληθος του λαου κραζοντες αιρε αυτον
37 But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul says to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say something to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
μελλων τε εισαγεσθαι εις την παρεμβολην ο παυλος λεγει τω χιλιαρχω ει εξεστιν μοι ειπειν τι προς σε ο δε εφη ελληνιστι γινωσκεις
38 Thou art not then that Egyptian who before these days raised a sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the assassins?
ουκ αρα συ ει ο αιγυπτιος ο προ τουτων των ημερων αναστατωσας και εξαγαγων εις την ερημον τους τετρακισχιλιους ανδρας των σικαριων
39 But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus, citizen of no insignificant city of Cilicia, and I beseech of thee, allow me to speak to the people.
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
40 And when he had allowed him, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and a great silence having been made, he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
επιτρεψαντος δε αυτου ο παυλος εστως επι των αναβαθμων κατεσεισεν τη χειρι τω λαω πολλης δε σιγης γενομενης προσεφωνησεν τη εβραιδι διαλεκτω λεγων
