Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
Et cum evasissemus, tunc cognovimus quia Melita insula vocabatur. Barbari vero præstabant non modicam humanitatem nobis.
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
Accensa enim pyra, reficiebant nos omnes propter imbrem qui imminebat, et frigus.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Cum congregasset autem Paulus sarmentorum aliquantam multitudinem, et imposuisset super ignem, vipera a calore cum processisset, invasit manum ejus.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
Ut vero viderunt barbari pendentem bestiam de manu ejus, ad invicem dicebant: Utique homicida est homo hic, qui cum evaserit de mari, ultio non sinit eum vivere.
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
Et ille quidem excutiens bestiam in ignem, nihil mali passus est.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
At illi existimabant eum in tumorem convertendum, et subito casurum et mori. Diu autem illis exspectantibus, et videntibus nihil mali in eo fieri, convertentes se, dicebant eum esse deum.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
In locis autem illis erant prædia principis insulæ, nomine Publii, qui nos suscipiens, triduo benigne exhibuit.
8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
Contigit autem patrem Publii febribus et dysenteria vexatum jacere. Ad quem Paulus intravit: et cum orasset, et imposuisset ei manus, salvavit eum.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
Quo facto, omnes qui in insula habebant infirmitates, accedebant, et curabantur:
10 They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
qui etiam multis honoribus nos honoraverunt, et navigantibus imposuerunt quæ necessaria erant.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
Post menses autem tres navigavimus in navi Alexandrina, quæ in insula hiemaverat, cui erat insigne Castorum.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Et cum venissemus Syracusam, mansimus ibi triduo.
13 From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Inde circumlegentes devenimus Rhegium: et post unum diem, flante austro, secunda die venimus Puteolos:
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
ubi inventis fratribus rogati sumus manere apud eos dies septem: et sic venimus Romam.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and 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 When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Cum autem venissemus Romam, permissum est Paulo manere sibimet cum custodiente se milite.
17 It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Urishlim into the hands of the Romans,
Post tertium autem diem convocavit primos Judæorum. Cumque convenissent, dicebat eis: Ego, viri fratres, nihil adversus plebem faciens, aut morem paternum, vinctus ab Jerosolymis traditus sum in manus Romanorum,
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent, voluerunt me dimittere, eo quod nulla esset causa mortis in me.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Contradicentibus autem Judæis, coactus sum appellare Cæsarem, non quasi gentem meam habens aliquid accusare.
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israyel I am bound with this chain."
Propter hanc igitur causam rogavi vos videre, et alloqui. Propter spem enim Israël catena hac circumdatus sum.
21 They said to him, "We neither received letters from Yehuda concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
At illi dixerunt ad eum: Nos neque litteras accepimus de te a Judæa, neque adveniens aliquis fratrum nuntiavit, aut locutus est quid de te malum.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
Rogamus autem a te audire quæ sentis: nam de secta hac notum est nobis quia ubique ei contradicitur.
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Yeshua, both from the Law of Mushe and from 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 Jesu ex lege Moysi et prophetis a mane usque ad vesperam.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Et quidam credebant his quæ dicebantur: quidam vero non credebant.
25 When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Rukha d'Qudsha spoke rightly through Eshaya, the prophet, to your 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 to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
dicens: Vade ad populum istum, et dic ad eos: Aure audietis, et non intelligetis, et videntes videbitis, et non perspicietis.
27 For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.'
Incrassatum est enim cor populi hujus, 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 is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
Notum ergo sit vobis, quoniam gentibus missum est hoc salutare Dei, et ipsi audient.
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
Et cum hæc dixisset, exierunt ab eo Judæi, multam habentes inter se quæstionem.
30 And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
Mansit autem biennio toto in suo conducto: et suscipiebat omnes qui ingrediebantur ad eum,
31 proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Yeshua Meshikha with all boldness, without hindrance.
prædicans regnum Dei, et docens quæ sunt de Domino Jesu Christo cum omni fiducia, sine prohibitione.
