The Latin Vulgate VUL
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 et cum evasissemus tunc cognovimus quia Militene insula vocatur barbari vero praestabant non modicam humanitatem nobis
1
And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,
2 accensa enim pyra reficiebant nos omnes propter imbrem qui inminebat et frigus
2
and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
3 cum congregasset autem Paulus sarmentorum aliquantam multitudinem et inposuisset super ignem vipera a calore cum processisset invasit manum eius
3
but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] upon the fire, a viper -- out of the heat having come -- did fasten on his hand.
4 ut vero viderunt barbari pendentem bestiam de manu eius ad invicem dicebant utique homicida est homo hic qui cum evaserit de mari Ultio non sinit vivere
4
And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, `Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;'
5 et ille quidem excutiens bestiam in ignem nihil mali passus est
5
he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
6 at illi existimabant eum in tumorem convertendum et subito casurum et mori diu autem illis sperantibus et videntibus nihil mali in eo fieri convertentes se dicebant eum esse deum
6
and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
7 in locis autem illis erant praedia principis insulae nomine Publii qui nos suscipiens triduo benigne exhibuit
7
And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge [us];
8 contigit autem patrem Publii febribus et dysenteria vexatum iacere ad quem Paulus intravit et cum orasset et inposuisset ei manus salvavit eum
8
and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
9 quo facto et omnes qui in insula habebant infirmitates accedebant et curabantur
9
this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;
10 qui etiam multis honoribus nos honoraverunt et navigantibus inposuerunt quae necessaria erant
10
who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail -- they were lading [us] with the things that were necessary.
11 post menses autem tres navigavimus in nave alexandrina quae in insula hiemaverat cui erat insigne Castorum
11
And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
12 et cum venissemus Syracusam mansimus ibi triduo
12
and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
13 inde circumlegentes devenimus Regium et post unum diem flante austro secunda die venimus Puteolos
13
thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli;
14 ubi inventis fratribus rogati sumus manere apud eos dies septem et sic venimus Romam
14
where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;
15 et inde cum audissent fratres occurrerunt nobis usque ad Appii Forum et Tribus Tabernis quos cum vidisset Paulus gratias agens Deo accepit fiduciam
15
and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns -- whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
16 cum venissemus autem Romam permissum est Paulo manere sibimet cum custodiente se milite
16
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
17 post tertium autem diem convocavit primos Iudaeorum cumque convenissent dicebat eis ego viri fratres nihil adversus plebem faciens aut morem paternum vinctus ab Hierosolymis traditus sum in manus Romanorum
17
And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: `Men, brethren, I -- having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers -- a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans;
18 qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent voluerunt me dimittere eo quod nulla causa esset mortis in me
18
who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
19 contradicentibus autem Iudaeis coactus sum appellare Caesarem non quasi gentem meam habens aliquid accusare
19
and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar -- not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
20 propter hanc igitur causam rogavi vos videre et adloqui propter spem enim Israhel catena hac circumdatus sum
20
for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'
21 at illi dixerunt ad eum nos neque litteras accepimus de te a Iudaea neque adveniens aliquis fratrum nuntiavit aut locutus est quid de te malum
21
And they said unto him, `We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee,
22 rogamus autem a te audire quae sentis nam de secta hac notum est nobis quia ubique ei contradicitur
22
and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;'
23 cum constituissent autem illi diem venerunt ad eum in hospitium plures quibus exponebat testificans regnum Dei suadensque eos de Iesu ex lege Mosi et prophetis a mane usque ad vesperam
23
and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,
24 et quidam credebant his quae dicebantur quidam vero non credebant
24
and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
25 cumque invicem non essent consentientes discedebant dicente Paulo unum verbum quia bene Spiritus Sanctus locutus est per Esaiam prophetam ad patres nostros
25
And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word -- `Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
26 dicens vade ad populum istum et dic aure audietis et non intellegetis et videntes videbitis et non perspicietis
26
saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,
27 incrassatum est enim cor populi huius et auribus graviter audierunt et oculos suos conpresserunt ne forte videant oculis et auribus audiant et corde intellegant et convertantur et sanem illos
27
for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.
28 notum ergo sit vobis quoniam gentibus missum est hoc salutare Dei ipsi et audient
28
`Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'
29 []
29
and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;
30 mansit autem biennio toto in suo conducto et suscipiebat omnes qui ingrediebantur ad eum
30
and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him,
31 praedicans regnum Dei et docens quae sunt de Domino Iesu Christo cum omni fiducia sine prohibitione
31
preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness -- unforbidden.
