1 cum autem factum esset ut navigaremus abstracti ab eis recto cursu venimus Cho et sequenti die Rhodum et inde Patara
1
Now it came to pass, that when we had departed from them and set sail, running a straight course we came to Cos, the following day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 et cum invenissemus navem transfretantem in Foenicen ascendentes navigavimus
2
And finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3 cum paruissemus autem Cypro et relinquentes eam ad sinistram navigabamus in Syriam et venimus Tyrum ibi enim navis erat expositura onus
3
When we had sighted Cyprus, we passed it on the left, sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
4 inventis autem discipulis mansimus ibi diebus septem qui Paulo dicebant per Spiritum ne ascenderet Hierosolymam
4
And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 et explicitis diebus profecti ibamus deducentibus nos omnibus cum uxoribus et filiis usque foras civitatem et positis genibus in litore oravimus
5
When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we knelt down on the shore and prayed.
6 et cum valefecissemus invicem ascendimus in navem illi autem redierunt in sua
6
When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned home.

7
And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.
8 alia autem die profecti venimus Caesaream et intrantes in domum Philippi evangelistae qui erat de septem mansimus apud eum
8
On the next day we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 huic autem erant filiae quattuor virgines prophetantes
9
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 et cum moraremur per dies aliquot supervenit quidam a Iudaea propheta nomine Agabus
10
And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 is cum venisset ad nos tulit zonam Pauli et alligans sibi pedes et manus dixit haec dicit Spiritus Sanctus virum cuius est zona haec sic alligabunt in Hierusalem Iudaei et tradent in manus gentium
11
When he had come to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, 'So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.' "
12 quod cum audissemus rogabamus nos et qui loci illius erant ne ascenderet Hierosolymam
12
Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 tunc respondit Paulus et dixit quid facitis flentes et adfligentes cor meum ego enim non solum alligari sed et mori in Hierusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Iesu
13
Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, 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
14
So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."

15
And after those days we packed and went up to Jerusalem.

16
Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
17 et cum venissemus Hierosolymam libenter exceperunt nos fratres
17
And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 sequenti autem die introibat Paulus nobiscum ad Iacobum omnesque collecti sunt seniores
18
On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19 quos cum salutasset narrabat per singula quae fecisset Deus in gentibus per ministerium ipsius
19
When he had greeted them, he told in detail those things which God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 at illi cum audissent magnificabant Deum dixeruntque ei vides frater quot milia sint in Iudaeis qui crediderunt et omnes aemulatores sunt legis
20
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law;
21 audierunt autem de te quia discessionem doceas a Mose eorum qui per gentes sunt Iudaeorum dicens non debere circumcidere eos filios suos neque secundum consuetudinem ingredi
21
but they have been informed about you that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children nor to walk according to the customs.
22 quid ergo est utique oportet convenire multitudinem audient enim te supervenisse
22
What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23 hoc ergo fac quod tibi dicimus sunt nobis viri quattuor votum habentes super se
23
Therefore do what we tell you: We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 his adsumptis sanctifica te cum illis et inpende in illis ut radant capita et scient omnes quia quae de te audierunt falsa sunt sed ambulas et ipse custodiens legem
24
Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that those things of which 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
25
But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written and decided that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality."
26 tunc Paulus adsumptis viris postera die purificatus cum illis intravit in templum adnuntians expletionem dierum purificationis donec offerretur pro unoquoque eorum oblatio
26
Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having been purified with them, entered the temple to announce the expiration of the days of purification, at which time an offering should be made for each one of them.
27 dum autem septem dies consummarentur hii qui de Asia erant Iudaei cum vidissent eum in templo concitaverunt omnem populum et iniecerunt ei manus clamantes
27
Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,
28 viri israhelitae 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
28
crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."
29 viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium in civitate cum ipso quem aestimaverunt quoniam in templum induxisset Paulus
29
(For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30 commotaque est civitas tota et facta est concursio populi et adprehendentes Paulum trahebant eum extra templum et statim clausae sunt ianuae
30
And all the city was disturbed; and the people ran together, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut.
31 quaerentibus autem eum occidere nuntiatum est tribuno cohortis quia tota confunditur Hierusalem
31
Now as they were seeking to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 qui statim adsumptis militibus et centurionibus decucurrit ad illos qui cum vidissent tribunum et milites cessaverunt percutere Paulum
32
He immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
33 tunc accedens tribunus adprehendit eum et iussit alligari catenis duabus et interrogabat quis esset et quid fecisset
33
Then the commander came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and he asked who he was and what he had done.
34 alii autem aliud clamabant in turba et cum non posset certum cognoscere prae tumultu iussit duci eum in castra
34
And some among the multitude cried one thing and some another. So when he could not ascertain the truth because of the tumult, he commanded him to be taken into the barracks.
35 et cum venisset ad gradus contigit ut portaretur a militibus propter vim populi
35
When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob.
36 sequebatur enim multitudo populi clamans tolle eum
36
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him!"
37 et cum coepisset induci in castra Paulus dicit tribuno si licet mihi loqui aliquid ad te qui dixit graece nosti
37
Then as Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, "May I speak to you?" He replied, "Can you speak Greek?
38 nonne tu es Aegyptius qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti et eduxisti in desertum quattuor milia virorum sicariorum
38
Are you not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a rebellion and led the four thousand assassins out into the wilderness?"
39 et dixit ad eum Paulus ego homo sum quidem iudaeus a Tarso Ciliciae non ignotae civitatis municeps rogo autem te permitte mihi loqui ad populum
39
But Paul said, "I am a Jew from Tarsus, in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people."
40 et cum ille permisisset Paulus stans in gradibus annuit manu ad plebem et magno silentio facto adlocutus est hebraea lingua dicens
40
So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
