¹Aga kui see sündis, et meie neist lahkusime ja merele läksime, siis tulime otseteed sõites Koosi saarele, teisel päeval aga Roodosele ja sealt Patarasse.

¹When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

²Seal me leidsime laeva, mis suundus Foiniikiasse, astusime sellele ja sõitsime minema.

²Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.

³Aga kui Küpros paistma hakkas, jätsime selle pahemat kätt, purjetasime Süüriasse ja randusime Tüüroses, sest seal pidi laev lossitama.

³When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

⁴Seal me leidsime jüngreid ja jäime nende juurde seitsmeks päevaks. Nemad ütlesid Paulusele Vaimu mõjul, et ta ei läheks Jeruusalemma.

⁴Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

⁵Kui me need päevad seal olime mööda saatnud, asusime teele; ja nemad kõik naiste ja lastega saatsid meid linnast välja. Ja ranna ääres me laskusime põlvili ning, olles palvetanud,

⁵When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.

⁶andsime üksteisele jumalagajätuks suud. Ja meie astusime laevale, nemad aga pöördusid tagasi koju.

⁶After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

⁷Meie jätkasime aga purjetamist ning saabusime Tüürosest Ptolemaisi, teretasime vendi ning jäime üheks päevaks nende juurde.

⁷When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.

⁸Järgmisel päeval me lahkusime sealt, jõudsime Kaisareasse ja astusime sisse evangelist Filippuse kotta, kes oli üks neist seitsmest, ja jäime tema juurde.

⁸On the next day, we, who were Paul’s companions, departed, and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

⁹Temal oli neli tütart, kes olid neitsid ja kõnelesid prohvetlikult.

⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

¹⁰Kui me mõneks päevaks sinna jäime, tuli Juudamaalt prohvet, Agabos nimi.

¹⁰As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

¹¹Ja ta tuli meie juurde, võttis Pauluse vöö, sidus oma käed ja jalad kinni ning ütles: 'Nii ütleb Püha Vaim: Mehe, kelle oma on see vöö, aheldavad juudid nõnda Jeruusalemmas ja annavad paganate kätte.'

¹¹Coming to us, and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

¹²Seda kuuldes palusime meie ja ka sealsed vennad Paulust, et ta ei läheks Jeruusalemma.

¹²When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

¹³Seepeale vastas Paulus: 'Mis te teete, et te nutate ja vaevate mu südant! Sest ma olen valmis mitte üksnes laskma ennast Jeruusalemmas aheldada, vaid ka surema Issanda Jeesuse nime pärast.'

¹³Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, 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.”

¹⁴Aga kui ta ei lasknud end ümber veenda, rahunesime ja ütlesime: 'Sündigu Issanda tahtmine!'

¹⁴When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”

¹⁵Pärast neid päevi me valmistusime teeleminekuks ja läksime Jeruusalemma.

¹⁵After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶Meiega tulid ka mõned jüngrid Kaisareast, kes viisid meid ühe ammuse jüngri Mnaasoni, Küprose mehe juurde, kelle külalisteks me pidime jääma.

¹⁶Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

¹⁷Kui me Jeruusalemma jõudsime, võtsid vennad meid vastu rõõmsa meelega.

¹⁷When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.

¹⁸Järgmisel päeval läks Paulus meiega Jaakobuse juurde ja kõik vanemad tulid ka sinna.

¹⁸The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.

¹⁹Ta tervitas neid ja kirjeldas siis üksikasjalikult kõike, mis Jumal tema teenimise läbi oli paganate seas teinud.

¹⁹When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.

²⁰Seda kuuldes ülistasid nad Jumalat ning ütlesid Paulusele: 'Vend, sa näed, kui mitukümmend tuhat juuti on saanud usklikuks ja need kõik on innukad Moosese Seaduse pidajad.

²⁰They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.

²¹Nende kõrvu on kostnud, et sina õpetavat paganate seas elavaid juute Moosesest ära taganema, öeldes, et neil ei ole vaja lapsi ümber lõigata ega elada meie tavade järgi.

²¹They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.

²²Mida nüüd teha? Muidugi nad saavad kuulda, et sa oled tulnud.

²²What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.

²³Tee nüüd seda, mis me sulle ütleme! Meil on neli meest, kelle peal on tõotus.

²³Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.

²⁴Võta need enesega ja puhasta ennast koos nendega ja kanna nende eest nende kulud, et nad oma pea võiksid pügada, ja siis saavad kõik aru, et see on tühi jutt, mis nad sinust on kuulnud, ning et ka sina ise elad Seadust pidades.

²⁴Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.

²⁵Aga usklikuks saanud paganate kohta me oleme saatnud kirja, otsustades, et nad peavad hoiduma ebajumalate ohvriliha ja vere ja lämbunu söömisest ning pilastusest.'

²⁵But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”

²⁶Järgmisel päeval võttis Paulus mehed ja laskis enda koos nendega puhastada. Siis ta läks pühakotta, et teatada, millal puhastuspäevad lõpevad ja nende igaühe eest tuuakse ohver.

²⁶Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

²⁷Aga kui need seitse päeva hakkasid lõpule jõudma, nägid Aasiast tulnud juudid Paulust pühakojas. Need ajasid möllama kogu rahva ja pistsid oma käed tema külge,

²⁷When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

²⁸hüüdes: 'Iisraeli mehed, tulge appi! See ongi see inimene, kes kõigis paigus õpetab meie rahva ja Seaduse ja selle paiga vastu. Ja nüüd on ta veel kreeklasigi toonud pühakotta ja selle püha paiga rüvetanud!'

²⁸crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place!”

²⁹Sest nad olid enne linnas näinud temaga koos efeslast Trofimost ning arvasid, et Paulus oli ta toonud pühakotta.

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

³⁰Siis tõusis kogu linn liikvele ning rahvas jooksis kokku. Ja nad haarasid Paulusest kinni ja vedasid ta pühakojast välja, ja otsekohe lukustati uksed.

³⁰All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

³¹Ja kui nad püüdsid teda tappa, läks sõnum sealse väeosa ülempealikule, et kogu Jeruusalemm on möllamas.

³¹As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

³²See võttis otsekohe sõdureid ja pealikuid kaasa ja tuli jooksujalu nende juurde. Kui rahvas nägi ülempealikut ja sõdureid, lõpetasid nad Pauluse peksmise.

³²Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.

³³Siis ülempealik astus ligi, võttis Pauluse oma hoole alla, käskis ta kahe ketiga aheldada ning küsis, kes ta on ja mis ta on teinud.

³³Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.

³⁴Aga rahvahulgast karjusid ühed ühte, teised teist. Kuna ülempealik ei suutnud lärmi pärast midagi selgemalt teada saada, siis laskis ta Pauluse viia kindlusse.

³⁴Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.

³⁵Aga kui ta treppide juurde jõudis, tuli sõduritel rahva vägivallatsemise pärast Paulust kanda,

³⁵When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;

³⁶sest suur rahvahulk järgnes neile, hüüdes: 'Hukka ta ära!'

³⁶for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”

³⁷Kui Paulust oldi juba kindlusse viimas, lausus ta ülempealikule: 'Kas ma tohin sulle midagi öelda?' Aga tema ütles: 'Kas sa oskad kreeka keelt?

³⁷As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?

³⁸Kas sa ei olegi see egiptlane, kes mõni aeg tagasi ässitas ja viis kõrbe neli tuhat sikariooti?'

³⁸Aren’t you then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”

³⁹Paulus ütles: 'Mina olen juut Tarsosest, kuulsa Kiliikia linna kodanik. Ma palun sind väga, luba mul rahvale kõnelda!'

³⁹But Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”

⁴⁰Kui ta lubas, astus Paulus trepiastmeile ning viipas rahvale käega. Kui kõik jäid vait, hakkas ta heebrea keeles kõnet pidama ja ütles:

⁴⁰When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
