Actuum Apostolorum 20
1 Postquam autem cessavit tumultus, vocatis Paulus discipulis, et exhortatus eos, valedixit, et profectus est ut iret in Macedoniam.
And after the uproar ceased, Paul having summoned the disciples and having embraced them, he departed to go into Macedonia.
2 Cum autem perambulasset partes illas, et exhortatus eos fuisset multo sermone, venit ad Græciam:
And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 ubi cum fecisset menses tres, factæ sunt illi insidiæ a Judæis navigaturo in Syriam: habuitque consilium ut reverteretur per Macedoniam.
And having spent three months there, and a conspiracy having developed against him by Jews, intending to go up into Syria, a decision developed to return through Macedonia.
4 Comitatus est autem eum Sopater Pyrrhi Berœensis, Thessalonicensium vero Aristarchus, et Secundus, et Gajus Derbeus, et Timotheus: Asiani vero Tychicus et Trophimus.
And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater a Berean, and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius a Derbean, and Timothy, and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Hi cum præcessissent, sustinuerunt nos Troade:
These men, who went ahead, awaited us at Troas.
6 nos vero navigavimus post dies azymorum a Philippis, et venimus ad eos Troadem in diebus quinque, ubi demorati sumus diebus septem.
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas within five days, where we stayed seven days.
7 Una autem sabbati cum convenissemus ad frangendum panem, Paulus disputabat cum eis profecturus in crastinum, protraxitque sermonem usque in mediam noctem.
And upon the first day of the week, the disciples having come together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged his speech until midnight.
8 Erant autem lampades copiosæ in cœnaculo, ubi eramus congregati.
And there were considerable lights in the upper floor where we were gathered together.
9 Sedens autem quidam adolescens nomine Eutychus super fenestram, cum mergeretur somno gravi, disputante diu Paulo, ductus somno cecidit de tertio cœnaculo deorsum, et sublatus est mortuus.
And a certain young man named Eutychus sitting in the window, being carried away by deep sleep (Paul discoursing on more), being carried away by sleep, he fell down below from the third floor, and was taken up dead.
10 Ad quem cum descendisset Paulus, incubuit super eum: et complexus dixit: Nolite turbari, anima enim ipsius in ipso est.
But Paul having come down, he fell on him, and having embraced him he said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.
11 Ascendens autem, frangensque panem, et gustans, satisque allocutus usque in lucem, sic profectus est.
And after getting up, and having broken bread and eaten, and having conversed for a considerable time, until dawn, thus he departed.
12 Adduxerunt autem puerum viventem, et consolati sunt non minime.
And they brought the boy alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 Nos autem ascendentes navem, navigavimus in Asson, inde suscepturi Paulum: sic enim disposuerat ipse per terram iter facturus.
But we, having gone ahead to the ship, went up to Assos, intending from there to take up Paul, for so it was arranged, he himself intending to go on foot.
14 Cum autem convenisset nos in Asson, assumpto eo, venimus Mitylenen.
And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we came to Mitylene.
15 Et inde navigantes, sequenti die venimus contra Chium, et alia applicuimus Samum, et sequenti die venimus Miletum.
And having sailed from there on the next day, we arrived opposite Chios, and the next day we came near to Samos. And having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to Miletus.
16 Proposuerat enim Paulus transnavigare Ephesum, ne qua mora illi fieret in Asia. Festinabat enim, si possibile sibi esset, ut diem Pentecostes faceret Jerosolymis.
For Paul determined to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not happen to lose time in Asia. For he was hastening, if it were possible, for him to become at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 A Mileto autem mittens Ephesum, vocavit majores natu ecclesiæ.
And from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he summoned the elders of the congregation.
18 Qui cum venissent ad eum, et simul essent, dixit eis: Vos scitis a prima die qua ingressus sum in Asiam, qualiter vobiscum per omne tempus fuerim,
And when they came to him, he said to them, Ye know, from the first day in which I stepped in Asia, how I became with you all the time,
19 serviens Domino cum omni humilitate, et lacrimis, et tentationibus, quæ mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Judæorum:
serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears and trials that befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews.
20 quomodo nihil subtraxerim utilium, quominus annuntiarem vobis et docerem vos, publice et per domos,
How I kept back nothing of these things that are beneficial, not to inform you, and to teach you in public, and from house to house,
21 testificans Judæis atque gentilibus in Deum pœnitentiam, et fidem in Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum.
testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
22 Et nunc ecce alligatus ego spiritu, vado in Jerusalem: quæ in ea ventura sint mihi, ignorans:
And now behold, I, bound in the spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me in it,
23 nisi quod Spiritus Sanctus per omnes civitates mihi protestatur, dicens quoniam vincula et tribulationes Jerosolymis me manent.
except that the Holy Spirit testifies from city to city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.
24 Sed nihil horum vereor: nec facio animam meam pretiosiorem quam me, dummodo consummem cursum meum, et ministerium verbi quod accepi a Domino Jesu, testificari Evangelium gratiæ Dei.
But I make nothing of the matter, nor do I hold my life precious to myself, so as to fully complete my course with joy, and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to solemnly testify the good news of the grace of God.
25 Et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam vos omnes, per quos transivi prædicans regnum Dei.
And now behold, I have seen that ye will no longer see my face, ye all among whom I passed through preaching the kingdom of God.
26 Quapropter contestor vos hodierna die, quia mundus sum a sanguine omnium.
Therefore I solemnly declare to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all men.
27 Non enim subterfugi, quominus annuntiarem omne consilium Dei vobis.
For I did not withdraw from declaring to you the whole plan of God.
28 Attendite vobis, et universo gregi, in quo vos Spiritus Sanctus posuit episcopos regere ecclesiam Dei, quam acquisivit sanguine suo.
Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit placed you guardians, to tend the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased by his own blood.
29 Ego scio quoniam intrabunt post discessionem meam lupi rapaces in vos, non parcentes gregi.
For I know this, that after my departure grievous wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Et ex vobisipsis exsurgent viri loquentes perversa, ut abducant discipulos post se.
And from you yourselves men will rise up, speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Propter quod vigilate, memoria retinentes quoniam per triennium nocte et die non cessavi, cum lacrimis monens unumquemque vestrum.
Therefore watch ye, remembering that for three years, night and day, I did not cease warning each one with tears.
32 Et nunc commendo vos Deo, et verbo gratiæ ipsius, qui potens est ædificare, et dare hæreditatem in sanctificatis omnibus.
And now brothers, I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.
33 Argentum, et aurum, aut vestem nullius concupivi, sicut
I coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 ipsi scitis: quoniam ad ea quæ mihi opus erant, et his qui mecum sunt, ministraverunt manus istæ.
Ye yourselves know that these hands served my needs, and to those who were with me.
35 Omnia ostendi vobis, quoniam sic laborantes, oportet suscipere infirmos ac meminisse verbi Domini Jesu: quoniam ipse dixit: Beatius est magis dare, quam accipere.
I gave you a glimpse of all things, that so laboring ye ought to aid the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 Et cum hæc dixisset, positis genibus suis oravit cum omnibus illis.
And having spoken these things, having knelt down, he prayed with them all.
37 Magnus autem fletus factus est omnium: et procumbentes super collum Pauli, osculabantur eum,
And there developed considerable weeping of all. And having fallen on Paul's neck, they kissed him much,
38 dolentes maxime in verbo quod dixerat, quoniam amplius faciem ejus non essent visuri. Et deducebant eum ad navem.
sorrowing especially for the word that he had spoken, that they were going to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
