Actuum Apostolorum 21
1 Cum autem factum esset ut navigaremus abstracti ab eis, recto cursu venimus Coum, et sequenti die Rhodum, et inde Pataram.
And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:
2 Et cum invenissemus navem transfretantem in Phœnicen, ascendentes navigavimus.
And finding a ship sailing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3 Cum apparuissemus autem Cypro, relinquentes eam ad sinistram, navigavimus in Syriam, et venimus Tyrum: ibi enim navis expositura erat onus.
Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4 Inventis autem discipulis, mansimus ibi diebus septem: qui Paulo dicebant per Spiritum ne ascenderet Ierosolymam.
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Et expletis diebus profecti ibamus, deducentibus nos omnibus cum uxoribus, et filiis usque foras civitatem: et positis genibus in littore, oravimus.
And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 Et cum valefecissemus invicem, ascendimus navem: illi autem redierunt in sua.
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7 Nos vero navigatione expleta a Tyro descendimus Ptolemaidam: et salutatis fratribus, mansimus die una apud illos.
And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
8 Alia autem die profecti, venimus Cæsaream. Et intrantes domum Philippi evangelistæ, qui erat unus de septem, mansimus apud eum.
And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came to Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and stayed with him.
9 Huic autem erant quattuor filiæ virgines prophetantes.
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 Et cum moraremur per dies aliquot, supervenit quidam a Iudæa propheta, nomine Agabus.
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 Is cum venisset ad nos, tulit zonam Pauli: et alligans sibi pedes, et manus dixit: Hæc dicit Spiritus sanctus: Virum, cuius est zona hæc, sic alligabunt in Ierusalem Iudæi, et tradent in manus Gentium.
And when he was come to us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus says the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Quod cum audissemus, rogabamus nos, et qui loci illius erant, ne ascenderet Ierosolymam.
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, sought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Tunc respondit Paulus, et dixit: Quid facitis flentes, et affligentes cor meum? Ego enim non solum alligari, sed et mori in Ierusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Iesu.
Then Paul answered, What mean you to weep and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Et cum ei suadere non possemus, quievimus, dicentes: Domini voluntas fiat.
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Post dies autem istos præparati, ascendebamus in Ierusalem.
And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Venerunt autem et ex discipulis a Cæsarea nobiscum, adducentes secum apud quem hospitaremur Mnasonem quendam Cyprium, antiquum discipulum.
There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Et cum venissemus Ierosolymam, libenter exceperunt nos fratres.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Sequenti autem die introibat Paulus nobiscum ad Iacobum, omnesque collecti sunt seniores.
And the day following Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19 Quos cum salutasset, narrabat per singula, quæ Deus fecisset in Gentibus per ministerium ipsius.
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had worked among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 At illi cum audissent, magnificabant Deum, dixeruntque ei: Vides frater, quot millia sunt in Iudæis, qui crediderunt, et omnes æmulatores sunt legis.
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him, You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21 Audierunt autem de te quia discessionem doceas a Moyse eorum, qui per Gentes sunt, Iudæorum: dicens non debere eos circumcidere filios suos, neque secundum consuetudinem ingredi.
And they are informed of you, that you teach all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 Quid ergo est? utique oportet convenire multitudinem: audient enim te supervenisse.
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that you are come.
23 Hoc ergo fac quod tibi dicimus: Sunt nobis viri quattuor, votum habentes super se.
Do therefore this that we say to you: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 His assumptis, sanctifica te cum illis: et impende in illis ut radant capita: et scient omnes quia quæ de te audierunt, falsa sunt, sed ambulas et ipse custodiens legem.
Them take, and purify yourself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning you, are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and keep the law.
25 De his autem, qui crediderunt ex Gentibus, nos scripsimus iudicantes ut abstineant se ab idolis, immolato, et sanguine, et suffocato, et fornicatione.
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26 Tunc Paulus, assumptis viris, postera die purificatus cum illis intravit in templum, annuncians expletionem dierum purificationis, donec offerretur pro unoquoque eorum oblatio.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27 Dum autem septem dies consummarentur, hi, qui de Asia erant, Iudæi, cum vidissent eum in templo, concitaverunt omnem populum, et iniecerunt ei manus, clamantes:
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28 Viri Israelitæ, adiuvate: hic est homo, qui adversus populum, et legem, et locum hunc, omnes ubique docens, insuper et Gentiles induxit in templum, et violavit sanctum locum istum.
Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teaches all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and has polluted this holy place.
29 Viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium in civitate cum ipso, quem æstimaverunt quoniam in templum introduxisset Paulus.
(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 Commotaque est civitas tota, et facta est concursio populi. Et apprehendentes Paulum, trahebant eum extra templum: et statim clausæ sunt ianuæ.
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut.
31 Quærentibus autem eum occidere, nunciatum est tribuno cohortis: Quia tota confunditur Ierusalem.
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Qui statim assumptis militibus, et centurionibus, decurrit ad illos. Qui cum vidissent tribunum, et milites, cessaverunt percutere Paulum.
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33 Tunc accedens tribunus apprehendit eum, et iussit eum alligari catenis duabus: et interrogabat quis esset, et quid fecisset.
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 Alii autem aliud clamabant in turba. Et cum non posset certum cognoscere præ tumultu, iussit duci eum in castra.
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 Et cum venisset ad gradus, contigit ut portaretur a militibus propter vim populi.
And when he came on the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36 Sequebatur enim multitudo populi, clamans: Tolle eum.
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37 Et cum cœpisset induci in castra Paulus, dicit tribuno: Si licet mihi loqui aliquid ad te? Qui dixit: Græce nosti?
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to you? Who said, Can you speak Greek?
38 Nonne tu es Ægyptius, qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti, et eduxisti in desertum quattuor millia virorum sicariorum?
Are not you that Egyptian, which before these days made an uproar, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39 Et dixit ad eum Paulus: Ego homo sum quidem Iudæus a Tarso Ciliciæ, non ignotæ civitatis municeps. Rogo autem te, permitte mihi loqui ad populum.
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech you, suffer me to speak to the people.
40 Et cum ille permisisset, Paulus stans in gradibus, annuit manu ad plebem, et magno silentio facto, allocutus est lingua Hebræa, dicens:
And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
