Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that 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 de discipulis:
2 he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, No, we did not even hear whether there is a Holy Spirit.
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 ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Ille vero ait: In quo ergo baptizati estis? Qui dixerunt: In Ioannis baptismate.
4 Then said Paul, John indeed baptized 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 poenitentiae populum, dicens: In eum, qui venturus esset post ipsum, ut crederent, hoc est, in Iesum.
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
His auditis, baptizati sunt in nomine Domini Iesu.
6 And when Paul bad 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 the men were about twelve in all.
Erant autem omnes viri fere duodecim.
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading 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 believed not, but spoke evil of the way [[of the Lord]] before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing 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 continued for two years, so that all who dwelt 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 wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
Virtutesque non modicas quaslibet faciebat Deus per manum Pauli:
12 so that even handkerchiefs, or aprons, were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil 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 Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to name over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
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 seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
Erant autem cuiusdam Iudaei nomine Scevae principis sacerdotum septem filii, qui hoc faciebant.
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but 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 evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them both, and 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, who dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on 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 the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
Multique credentium veniebant, confitentes, et annunciantes actus suos.
19 Many also of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men; and they counted the price of them, and found it 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 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
Ita fortiter crescebat verbum Dei, et confirmabatur.
21 And when these things were ended, Paul resolved to pass through Macedonia and Achaia, and to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also 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 into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
Mittens autem in Macedoniam duos ex ministrantibus sibi, Timotheum, et Erastum, ipse remansit ad tempus in Asia.
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
Facta est autem illo tempore turbatio non minima de via Domini.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
Demetrius enim quidam nomine, argentarius, faciens aedes argenteas Dianae, praestabat artificibus non modicum quaestum:
25 And having called them together, with the workmen of like occupation, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth;
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 hath persuaded and turned away much people, not only of Ephesus, but of almost all Asia, saying, that those are not gods, which are 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 there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
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 this they became full of wrath, and kept crying 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 confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel.
Et impleta est civitas confusione, et impetum fecerunt uno animo in theatrum, rapto Gaio, et Aristarcho Macedonibus, comitibus Pauli.
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
Paulo autem volente intrare in populum, non permiserunt discipuli.
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
Quidam autem et de Asiae principibus, qui erant amici eius, miserunt ad eum rogantes ne se darent in theatrum:
32 Some therefore were crying one thing, and some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and the greater part knew not wherefore they had come together.
alii autem aliud clamabant. Erat enim Ecclesia confusa: et plures nesciebant qua ex causa convenissent.
33 And they brought forward Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward; and Alexander beckoned with his hand, desiring to make his defence to the people.
De turba autem detraxerunt Alexandrum, propellentibus eum Iudaeis. Alexander autem manu silentio postulato, volebat reddere rationem populo.
34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice for about two hours cried out, 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 But when the Recorder had quieted the multitude, he said, Men of Ephesus, who is there among men that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the great Diana, and of the image which fell 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 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
Cum ergo his contradici non possit, oportet vos sedatos esse, et nihil temere agere.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
Adduxistis enim homines istos, neque sacrilegos, neque blasphemantes deam vestram.
38 If then Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against any one, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring their charges against each other.
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 ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
Si quid autem alterius rei quaeritis: in legitima Ecclesia poterit absolvi.
40 For we are in danger of being called to answer concerning this day's riot, there being no ground on which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse.
Nam et periclitamur argui seditionis hodiernae: cum nullus obnoxius sit (de quo possimus reddere rationem) concursus istius.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Et cum haec dixisset, dimisit Ecclesiam.
