Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Malta,
Et cum evasissemus, tunc cognovimus quia Melita insula vocabatur. Barbari vero praestabant non modicam humanitatem nobis.
2 and the foreigners were showing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Accensa enim pyra, reficiebant nos omnes propter imbrem, qui imminebat, et frigus.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper—having come out of the heat—fastened on his hand.
Cum congregasset autem Paulus sarmentorum aliquantam multitudinem, et imposuisset super ignem, vipera a calore cum processisset, invasit manum eius.
4 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not permit to live”;
Ut vero viderunt Barbari pendentem bestiam de manu eius, ad invicem dicebant: Utique homicida est homo hic, qui cum evaserit de mari, ultio non sinit eum vivere.
5 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Et ille quidem excutiens bestiam in ignem, nihil mali passus est.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to suddenly fall down dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
At illi existimabant eum in tumorem convertendum, et subito casurum, et mori. Diu autem illis expectantibus, et videntibus nihil mali in eo fieri, convertentes se, dicebant eum esse Deum.
7 And in the neighborhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, courteously lodged [us for] three days;
In locis autem illis erant praedia principis insulae, nomine Publii, qui nos suscipiens, triduo benigne se exhibuit.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
Contigit autem, patrem Publii febribus, et dysenteria vexatum iacere. Ad quem Paulus intravit: et cum orasset, et imposuisset ei manus, salvavit eum.
9 this, therefore, being done, also the others in the island having sicknesses were coming and were healed;
Quo facto, omnes qui in insula habebant infirmitates, accedebant, et curabantur:
10 who also honored us with many honors, and we setting sail—they were loading [us] with the things that were necessary.
qui etiam multis honoribus nos honoraverunt, et navigantibus imposuerunt quae necessaria erant.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the island) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Post menses autem tres navigavimus in navi Alexandrina, quae in insula hiemaverat, cui erat insigne Castorum.
12 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Et cum venissemus Syracusam, mansimus ibi triduo.
13 there having gone around, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli,
Inde circumlegentes devenimus Rhegium: et post unum diem flante Austro, secunda die venimus Puteolos;
14 where, having found brothers, we were called on to remain with them seven days, and thus we came to Rome;
ubi inventis fratribus rogati sumus manere apud eos dies septem: et sic venimus Romam.
15 and there, the brothers having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, as far as [the] Forum of Appius, and Three Taverns—whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Et inde cum audissent fratres, occurrerunt nobis usque ad Appii forum, ac tres Tabernas. Quos cum vidisset Paulus, gratias agens Deo, accepit fiduciam.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barracks, but Paul was permitted to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Cum autem venissemus Romam, permissum est Paulo manere sibimet cum custodiente se milite.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said to them: “Men, brothers, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up into the hands of the Romans;
Post tertium autem diem convocavit primos Iudaeorum. Cumque convenissent, dicebat eis: Ego, viri fratres, nihil adversus plebem faciens, aut morem paternum, vinctus ab Ierosolymis traditus sum in manus Romanorum,
18 who having examined me, were willing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent, voluerunt me dimittere, eo quod nulla esset causa mortis in me.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Caesar—not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Contradicentibus autem Iudaeis, coactus sum appellare Caesarem, non quasi gentem meam habens aliquid accusare.
20 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Propter hanc igitur causam rogavi vos videre, et alloqui. Propter spem enim Israel catena hac circumdatus sum.
21 And they said to him, “We neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor did anyone who came of the brothers declare or speak any evil concerning you,
At illi dixerunt ad eum: Nos neque litteras accepimus de te a Iudaea, neque adveniens aliquis fratrum nunciavit, aut locutus est quid de te malum.
22 and we think it good from you to hear what you think, for indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere”;
Rogamus autem a te audire quae sentis: nam de secta hac notum est nobis quia ubique ei contradicitur.
23 and having appointed him a day, more of them came to him, to the lodging, to whom he was setting [it] forth, testifying fully the Kingdom of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, from morning until evening,
Cum constituissent autem illi diem, venerunt ad eum in hospitium plurimi, quibus exponebat testificans regnum Dei, suadensque eis de Iesu ex Lege Moysi, et Prophetis a mane usque ad vesperam.
24 and some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Et quidam credebant his, quae dicebantur: quidam vero non credebant.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Cumque invicem non essent consentientes, discedebant dicente Paulo unum verbum: Quia bene Spiritus sanctus locutus est per Isaiam prophetam ad Patres nostros,
26 saying, Go on to this people and say, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,
dicens: Vade ad populum istum, et dic ad eos: Aure audietis, et non intelligetis: et videntes videbitis, et non perspicietis.
27 for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they may see with the eyes, and may understand with the heart, and should turn, and I may heal them.
Incrassatum est enim cor populi huius, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos compresserunt: ne forte videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.
28 Be it known, therefore, to you, that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, these also will hear it”;
Notum ergo sit vobis, quoniam Gentibus missum est hoc salutare Dei, et ipsi audient.
29 [[and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much debate among themselves; ]]
Et cum haec dixisset, exierunt ab eo Iudaei, multam habentes inter se quaestionem.
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in to him,
Mansit autem biennio toto in suo conducto: et suscipiebat omnes, qui ingrediebantur ad eum,
31 preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.
praedicans regnum Dei, et docens quae sunt de Domino Iesu Christo cum omni fiducia, sine prohibitione.
