Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was in Corinth, Paul, passing through the upper parts, came to 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 he said unto them—Holy Spirit, received ye, when ye believed? And they said unto him—Nay! not even whether there is Holy Spirit, did we hear.
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 immersed? And, they, said—Unto John’s immersion.
Ille vero ait: In quo ergo baptizati estis? Qui dixerunt: In Ioannis baptismate.
4 Then said Paul—John, immersed with an immersion of repentance, unto the people, saying, that, on him who was coming after him, they should believe, —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 immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus;
His auditis, baptizati sunt in nomine Domini Iesu.
6 and, Paul laying hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
Et cum imposuisset illis manus Paulus, venit Spiritus sanctus super eos, et loquebantur linguis, et prophetabant.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
Erant autem omnes viri fere duodecim.
8 And, entering into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning 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 hardening themselves, and refusing to be persuaded, speaking evil of the Way before the throng, withdrawing from them, he separated the disciples; day by day, reasoning 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 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 Mighty works, also, not the ordinary, God was working through the hands of Paul;
Virtutesque non modicas quaslibet faciebat Deus per manum Pauli:
12 so that, even unto the sick, were being carried from his body, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases were departing from them, and, the wicked spirits, were going out.
ita ut etiam super languidos deferrentur a corpore eius sudaria, et semicinctia, et recedebant ab eis languores, et spiritus nequam egrediebantur.
13 But certain also of the wandering Jews, exorcists, took in hand to be naming, over them that had the wicked spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying—I adjure you, by Jesus whom Paul proclaimeth!
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 one Sceva, a Jew, a High-priest, who, this thing, were doing.
Erant autem cuiusdam Iudaei nomine Scevae principis sacerdotum septem filii, qui hoc faciebant.
15 But the wicked spirit. Answering, said unto them—Jesus, [indeed], I am getting to know, 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 was the wicked spirit, springing upon them, mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that, naked and wounded, fled they out of that house.
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 were dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being 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 Many also of them who had believed, were coming, making open confession, and renouncing their practices.
Multique credentium veniebant, confitentes, et annunciantes actus suos.
19 And, a good many of them who had practised the curious arts, bringing together the books, were burning them before all; and they reckoned up the prices of them, and found them 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, with might, the Lord’s word, was growing and prevailing.
Ita fortiter crescebat verbum Dei, et confirmabatur.
21 Now, when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit, going through Macedonia and Achaia, to be journeying unto Jerusalem, saying—After I have been there, Rome also, must I see!
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, sending off into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself, held on awhile in Asia.
Mittens autem in Macedoniam duos ex ministrantibus sibi, Timotheum, et Erastum, ipse remansit ad tempus in Asia.
23 And there arose during that season no small disturbance concerning the Way.
Facta est autem illo tempore turbatio non minima de via Domini.
24 For, one Demetrius by name, a silversmith, making [silver] shrines, of Diana, used to bring unto the craftsmen no little business;
Demetrius enim quidam nomine, argentarius, faciens aedes argenteas Dianae, praestabat artificibus non modicum quaestum:
25 gathering whom together, and them who in such things wrought, he said—Men! ye well know that, by this business, we have our prosperity;
quos convocans, et eos, qui huiusmodi erant opifices, dixit: Viri, scitis quia de hoc artificio est nobis acquisitio:
26 and ye perceive and hear that, not only in Ephesus, but well-nigh in all Asia, this Paul, hath persuaded and turned away a considerable multitude, saying that they are, no gods, which, with hands, are made.
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 there danger that this our heritage into ill-repute may come, but even that the temple, of the great Goddess Diana, for nothing, may be counted; also that, even on the point of being pulled down, may be Her Majesty, whom, all Asia and the habitable world, do 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 Now, hearing this, and becoming full of wrath, they began crying aloud, 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 the confusion; they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, carrying off with them Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
Et impleta est civitas confusione, et impetum fecerunt uno animo in theatrum, rapto Gaio, et Aristarcho Macedonibus, comitibus Pauli.
30 But, Paul, being minded to enter in among the populace, the disciples would not suffer him.
Paulo autem volente intrare in populum, non permiserunt discipuli.
31 Moreover, certain of the Asiarchs also, being his friends, sending unto him, were beseeching him not to adventure himself into the theatre.
Quidam autem et de Asiae principibus, qui erant amici eius, miserunt ad eum rogantes ne se darent in theatrum:
32 Others, indeed, were crying out something else; for the assembly had become confused, and, the greater part, knew not for what cause they had come together.
alii autem aliud clamabant. Erat enim Ecclesia confusa: et plures nesciebant qua ex causa convenissent.
33 Howbeit, out of the multitude, they bare aloft one Alexander, the Jews thrusting him forward; Alexander, however, waving his hand, was wishing to make his defense unto the populace.
De turba autem detraxerunt Alexandrum, propellentibus eum Iudaeis. Alexander autem manu silentio postulato, volebat reddere rationem populo.
34 But, recognizing that he was a Jew, one voice arose from all for about two hours, as they cried aloud—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 Howbeit the town-clerk, having calmed the multitude, saith—Ephesians! why, who is there of mankind that doth not acknowledge the city of Ephesians to be temple-keeper of the Great Diana, and of the [image] that fell 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 As these things, then, cannot be denied, it is needful that ye be calmed at once, and, nothing rash, be doing.
Cum ergo his contradici non possit, oportet vos sedatos esse, et nihil temere agere.
37 For ye have brought these men, neither as temple-robbers, nor as defaming our goddess.
Adduxistis enim homines istos, neque sacrilegos, neque blasphemantes deam vestram.
38 If then, Demetrius, and the craftsmen with him, have against anyone an accusation, courts, are being held, and there are, proconsuls: let them accuse 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 after, something further, ye are seeking, in the regular assembly shall it be settled.
Si quid autem alterius rei quaeritis: in legitima Ecclesia poterit absolvi.
40 For we are, even in danger of being accused of riot, concerning this day, no cause at all, existing, by reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
Nam et periclitamur argui seditionis hodiernae: cum nullus obnoxius sit (de quo possimus reddere rationem) concursus istius.
41 And, these things, having said, he dismissed the assembly.
Et cum haec dixisset, dimisit Ecclesiam.
