Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul having come through the upper regions came down into Ephesus: and found certain disciples,
Factum est autem, cum Apollo esset Corinthi, ut Paulus peragratis superioribus partibus veniret Ephesum, et inveniret quosdam de discipulis:
2 and said to them, Have you received the Holy Ghost, having believed? And they said to him, But we have not heard if the Holy Ghost is (given).
dixitque ad eos: Si Spiritum sanctum accepistis credentes? At illi dixerunt ad eum: Sed neque si Spiritus sanctus est, audivimus.
3 And he said, Into what then were you baptized? And they said, Into the baptism of John.
Ille vero ait: In quo ergo baptizati estis? Qui dixerunt: In Ioannis baptismate.
4 And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on the one coming after him, that is Jesus.
Dixit autem Paulus: Ioannes baptizavit baptismo poenitentiae populum, dicens: In eum, qui venturus esset post ipsum, ut crederent, hoc est, in Iesum.
5 And they, having heard, were baptized into 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 Ghost came on them; and they continued to speak with tongues, and prophesy.
Et cum imposuisset illis manus Paulus, venit Spiritus sanctus super eos, et loquebantur linguis, et prophetabant.
7 And they were all about twelve men.
Erant autem omnes viri fere duodecim.
8 And having come into the synagogue, he preached boldly three months, expounding and persuading them as to 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 becoming hardened and disbelieving, speaking evil of the way in the presence of the multitude, departing from them he separated his disciples, daily expounding 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 two years; so that all dwelling in 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, Iudaei atque Gentiles.
11 And God was working great miracles through the hands of Paul;
Virtutesque non modicas quaslibet faciebat Deus per manum Pauli:
12 so that napkins and aprons were carried from his body and placed on the sick, and diseases departed from them, and evil spirits went out of them.
ita ut etiam super languidos deferrentur a corpore eius sudaria, et semicinctia, et recedebant ab eis languores, et spiritus nequam egrediebantur.
13 And certain ones of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to call the name of the Lord Jesus, over those having evil spirits saying, I adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul is preaching.
Tentaverunt autem quidam et de circumeuntibus Iudaeis exorcistis, invocare super eos, qui habebant spiritus malos, nomen Domini Iesu, dicentes: Adiuro vos per Iesum, quem Paulus praedicat.
14 And there were certain seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish high priest, doing this.
Erant autem cuiusdam Iudaei nomine Scevae principis sacerdotum septem filii, qui hoc faciebant.
15 But the evil spirit responding said to them, I know Jesus, and am acquainted with Paul; but who are you?
Respondens autem spiritus nequam dixit eis: Iesum novi, et Paulum scio: vos autem qui estis?
16 And the man in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, domineering over both of them, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Et insiliens in eos homo, in quo erat daemonium 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, dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified;
Hoc autem notum factum est omnibus Iudaeis, atque Gentilibus, qui habitabant Ephesi: et cecidit timor super omnes illos, et magnificabatur nomen Domini Iesu.
18 and many of those having believed came, confessing, and renouncing their practices.
Multique credentium veniebant, confitentes, et annunciantes actus suos.
19 And many of those practicing curious arts, having brought their books, burnt them before all: and they estimated the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
Multi autem ex eis, qui fuerant curiosa sectati, contulerunt libros, et combusserunt eos coram omnibus: et computatis pretiis illorum, invenerunt pecuniam denariorum quinquaginta millium.
20 Thus the word of the Lord increased and accumulated strength according to His power.
Ita fortiter crescebat verbum Dei, et confirmabatur.
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in spirit, having traveled through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on into Jerusalem, saying that, After I am there it behooves me also to see Rome.
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 two of those ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, himself spent the time in Asia.
Mittens autem in Macedoniam duos ex ministrantibus sibi, Timotheum, et Erastum, ipse remansit ad tempus in Asia.
23 And at that time there was no small commotion concerning the way.
Facta est autem illo tempore turbatio non minima de via Domini.
24 For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making silver shrines of Diana, was bringing no small gain to the mechanics,
Demetrius enim quidam nomine, argentarius, faciens aedes argenteas Dianae, praestabat artificibus non modicum quaestum:
25 whom having assembled and the laborers about such things, he said, Men, you know that it is from this work that prosperity is to us:
quos convocans, et eos, qui huiusmodi erant opifices, dixit: Viri, scitis quia de hoc artificio est nobis acquisitio:
26 and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, that this Paul having persuaded them has turned away a great multitude, saying that there are no gods made with hands.
et videtis, et auditis quia non solum Ephesi, sed pene totius Asiae, Paulus hic suadens avertit multam turbam, dicens: Quoniam non sunt dii, qui manibus fiunt.
27 And not only is this interest in danger to us to come into disrepute; but even the temple of the great goddess Diana to be considered for nought, and they are about even to despise the majesty of her, whom all Asia and the world worships.
Non solum autem haec periclitabitur nobis pars in redargutionem venire, sed et magnae Dianae templum in nihilum reputabitur, sed et destrui incipiet maiestas eius, quam tota Asia, et orbis colit.
28 And hearing and being filled with rage, they continued to cry out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
His auditis, repleti sunt ira, et exclamaverunt dicentes: Magna Diana Ephesiorum.
29 And the city was filled with commotion: and they rushed of one accord into the theatre, seizing Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians, the companions of Paul.
Et impleta est civitas confusione, et impetum fecerunt uno animo in theatrum, rapto Gaio, et Aristarcho Macedonibus, comitibus Pauli.
30 And Paul wishing to go in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not;
Paulo autem volente intrare in populum, non permiserunt discipuli.
31 and certain ones of the Asiatic rulers, also being friends to him, having sent to him, continued to entreat him not to give himself up into the theatre.
Quidam autem et de Asiae principibus, qui erant amici eius, miserunt ad eum rogantes ne se darent in theatrum:
32 Then indeed they continued to cry out some one thing, and some another: for the church was confused; and the most of them did not know on account of what they had come together.
alii autem aliud clamabant. Erat enim Ecclesia confusa: et plures nesciebant qua ex causa convenissent.
33 And some from the crowd forced in Alexander, the Jews precipitating him forward; and Alexander, beckoning with his hand, wished to apologize to the people.
De turba autem detraxerunt Alexandrum, propellentibus eum Iudaeis. Alexander autem manu silentio postulato, volebat reddere rationem populo.
34 But recognizing that he is a Jew, there was one voice from all crying out about two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
Quem ut cognoverunt Iudaeum esse, vox facta una est omnium, quasi per horas duas clamantium: Magna Diana Ephesiorum.
35 And the city clerk having dismissed the multitudes, said, Ephesian men, for what one of men is there that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the statue having fallen down from Jupiter?
Et cum sedasset scriba turbas, dixit: Viri Ephesii, quis enim est hominum, qui nesciat Ephesiorum civitatem cultricem esse magnae Dianae, Iovisque prolis?
36 Therefore these things being unquestionable, it is necessary that you become calm, and do nothing rashly.
Cum ergo his contradici non possit, oportet vos sedatos esse, et nihil temere agere.
37 For you have led in these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor are they blaspheming your goddess.
Adduxistis enim homines istos, neque sacrilegos, neque blasphemantes deam vestram.
38 If indeed therefore Demetrius, and the mechanics along with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and there are lawyers: let them implead 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 you are seeking something concerning other things, it shall be settled in the lawful church.
Si quid autem alterius rei quaeritis: in legitima Ecclesia poterit absolvi.
40 For indeed we are in danger of prosecution for the disturbance this day, there being no cause concerning which we shall be able to give a reason for this uproar.
Nam et periclitamur argui seditionis hodiernae: cum nullus obnoxius sit (de quo possimus reddere rationem) concursus istius.
41 And having said these things, he dismissed the church.
Et cum haec dixisset, dimisit Ecclesiam.
