¹And when, having got away from them, we at last sailed away, we came by a direct course to Cos, and on the morrow to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.

¹ܘܦܪܫܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܪܕܝܢ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܠܩܘ ܓܙܪܬܐ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܪܘܕܘܤ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܦܐܛܪܐ ܀

²And having found a ship passing over into Phoenicia, we went on board and sailed;

²ܘܐܫܟܚܢ ܬܡܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܕܐܙܠܐ ܠܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܘܤܠܩܢ ܠܗ ܘܪܕܝܢ ܀

³and having sighted Cyprus, and left it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and made the land at Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.

³ܘܡܛܝܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܩܘܦܪܘܤ ܓܙܪܬܐ ܘܫܒܩܢܗ ܠܤܡܠܐ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܠܤܘܪܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܡܛܝܢ ܠܨܘܪ ܬܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܠܡܢܚܘ ܛܥܢܗ ܀

⁴And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

⁴ܘܟܕ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܬܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܩܘܝܢ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܒܪܘܚ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

⁵But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed.

⁵ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܢܦܩܢ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܡܠܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܢܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܩܥܕܘ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܝܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ ܘܨܠܝܘ ܀

⁶And having embraced one another, we went on board ship, and they returned home.

⁶ܘܢܫܩܢ ܠܚܕܕܐ ܘܤܠܩܢ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܘܗܦܟܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܒܬܝܗܘܢ ܀

⁷And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them.

⁷ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܪܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܨܘܪ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܠܥܟܘ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܝܗܒܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܐܚܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܘܫܪܝܢ ܨܐܕܝܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܚܕ ܀

⁸And leaving on the morrow, we came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.

⁸ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܦܩܢ ܘܐܬܝܢ ܠܩܤܪܝܐ ܘܥܠܢ ܫܪܝܢ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܡܤܒܪܢܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܫܒܥܐ ܀

⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

⁹ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܠܗ ܒܢܬܐ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܐܪܒܥ ܕܡܬܢܒܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܀

¹⁰And as we stayed there many days, a certain man, by name Agabus, a prophet, came down from Judaea,

¹⁰ܘܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕ ܢܒܝܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܓܒܘܤ ܀

¹¹and coming to us and taking the girdle of Paul, and having bound his own hands and feet, said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up into the hands of [the] Gentiles.

¹¹ܘܥܠ ܠܘܬܢ ܘܫܩܠ ܥܪܩܬܐ ܕܚܨܘܗܝ ܕܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܐܤܪ ܪܓܠܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܘܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܡܪܗ ܕܥܪܩܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܐܤܪܘܢܗ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܗ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܥܡܡܐ ܀

¹²And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place besought [him] not to go up to Jerusalem.

¹²ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܫܡܥܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܚܢܢ ܘܒܢܝ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

¹³But Paul answered, What do ye, 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.

¹³ܗܝܕܝܢ ܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܒܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܚܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܠܒܝ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܬܐܤܪ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܡܛܝܒ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܐܡܘܬ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܚܠܦ ܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

¹⁴And when he would not be persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

¹⁴ܘܟܕ ܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܤ ܠܢ ܒܗܠܢ ܠܢ ܘܐܡܪܢ ܕܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܀

¹⁵And after these days, having got our effects ready, we went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁵ܘܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܛܝܒܢ ܘܤܠܩܢ ܠܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

¹⁶And [some] of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing [with them] a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

¹⁶ܘܐܬܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܡܢ ܩܤܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܕܒܝܪܝܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܚܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܤܘܢ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܘܦܪܘܤ ܕܢܩܒܠܢ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܀

¹⁷And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.

¹⁷ܘܟܕ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܩܒܠܘܢ ܐܚܐ ܚܕܝܐܝܬ ܀

¹⁸And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.

¹⁸ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܥܠܢ ܥܡ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܠܘܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܀

¹⁹And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry.

¹⁹ܘܝܗܒܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܘܡܫܬܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܒܬܪ ܒܬܪ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܀

²⁰And they having heard [it] glorified God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law.

²⁰ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܫܒܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܚܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܪܒܘܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܝܗܘܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܝܡܢܘ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܛܢܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܀

²¹And they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews among the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk in the customs.

²¹ܐܬܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܡܠܦ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܦܪܩܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܒܥܡܡܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܓܙܪܝܢ ܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܝܕܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܀

²²What is it then? a multitude must necessarily come together, for they will hear that thou art come.

²²ܡܛܠ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܡܫܬܡܥܐ ܗܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܠܟܐ ܀

²³This do therefore that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;

²³ܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪܝܢܢ ܠܟ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܕܢܕܝܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܬܕܟܘܢ ܀

²⁴take these and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their heads shaved; and all will know that [of those things] of which they have been informed about thee nothing is [true]; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.

²⁴ܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܙܠ ܐܬܕܟܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܦܩ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܢܦܩܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܓܪܥܘܢ ܪܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܝܕܥܐ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܓܠ ܗܘ ܘܐܢܬ ܠܢܡܘܤܐ ܫܠܡ ܐܢܬ ܘܢܛܪ ܀

²⁵But concerning [those of] the nations who have believed, we have written, deciding that they should [observe no such thing, only to] keep themselves both from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.

²⁵ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܗܝܡܢܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܚܢܢ ܟܬܒܢ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܢܛܪܝܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܕܒܝܚܐ ܘܡܢ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܚܢܝܩܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܐ ܀

²⁶Then Paul, taking the men, on the next day, having been purified, entered with them into the temple, signifying the time the days of the purification would be fulfilled, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

²⁶ܗܝܕܝܢ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܬܕܟܝ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܐܙܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܟܕ ܡܘܕܥ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܘܠܝܐ ܕܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܬܕܟܝܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܒ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܀

²⁷And when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, set all the crowd in a tumult, and laid hands upon him,

²⁷ܘܟܕ ܡܛܝ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܥܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܤܝܐ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܓܪܝܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܀

²⁸crying, Israelites, help! this is the man who teaches all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and has brought Greeks too into the temple, and profaned this holy place.

²⁸ܟܕ ܡܒܓܢܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܥܕܪܘ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܠܘܩܒܠ ܥܡܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܡܠܦ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܘܠܘܩܒܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܠܘܩܒܠ ܐܬܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܐܥܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܤܝܒܗ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܀

²⁹For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.

²⁹ܩܕܡܘ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܚܙܘ ܥܡܗ ܠܛܪܘܦܝܡܤ ܐܦܤܝܐ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܥܡ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܥܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܀

³⁰And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and having laid hold on Paul they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.

³⁰ܘܐܫܬܓܫܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܚܕܘܗܝ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܓܪܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܐܬܬܚܕܘ ܬܪܥܐ ܀

³¹And as they were seeking to kill him, a representation came to the chiliarch of the band that the whole of Jerusalem was in a tumult;

³¹ܘܟܕ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܠܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܕܐܤܦܝܪ ܕܟܠܗ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܬܬܙܝܥܬ ܠܗ ܀

³²who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.

³²ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܕܒܪ ܠܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܘܠܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܪܗܛܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܠܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܘܠܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܒܗܠܘ ܡܢ ܕܡܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܀

³³Then the chiliarch came up and laid hold upon him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he might be, and what he had done.

³³ܘܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܘܐܚܕܗ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܐܤܪܘܢܗ ܒܬܪܬܝܢ ܫܫܠܢ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܡܢܘ ܘܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܀

³⁴And different persons cried some different thing in the crowd. But he, not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded him to be brought into the fortress.

³⁴ܘܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܐܟܠܘܤ ܡܕܡ ܡܕܡ ܘܡܛܠ ܩܥܬܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܕܥ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܘܦܩܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܘܒܠܘܢܗ ܠܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܀

³⁵But when he got upon the stairs it was so that he was borne by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd.

³⁵ܘܟܕ ܡܛܝ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܠܕܪܓܐ ܛܥܢܘܗܝ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܡܛܠ ܩܛܝܪܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܀

³⁶For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.

³⁶ܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܬܪܗ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܫܩܘܠܝܗܝ ܀

³⁷But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul says to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say something to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?

³⁷ܘܟܕ ܡܛܝ ܠܡܥܠ ܠܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܡܪ ܠܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܐܢ ܡܦܤ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܘܢܐܝܬ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܀

³⁸Thou art not then that Egyptian who before these days raised a sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the assassins?

³⁸ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܨܪܝܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܙܝܥܬ ܘܐܦܩܬ ܠܡܕܒܪܐ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܒܕܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܀

³⁹But Paul said, *I* am a Jew of Tarsus, citizen of no insignificant city of Cilicia, and I beseech of thee, allow me to speak to the people.

³⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܛܪܤܘܤ ܕܩܝܠܝܩܝܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܝܕܝܥܬܐ ܕܒܗ ܝܠܝܕ ܐܢܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܦܤ ܠܝ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܠܥܡܐ ܀

⁴⁰And when he had allowed him, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and a great silence having been made, he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

⁴⁰ܘܟܕ ܐܦܤ ܠܗ ܩܡ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܥܠ ܕܪܓܐ ܘܐܙܝܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܟܕ ܒܗܠܘ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܥܒܪܐܝܬ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
