1[] Καθως δε αποσπασθεντες απ' αυτων απεπλευσαμεν, ηλθομεν κατ' ευθειαν εις την Κων, την δε ακολουθον ημεραν εις την Ροδον, και εκειθεν εις Παταρα.
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.
2Και ευροντες πλοιον μελλον να περαση εις Φοινικην, επεβημεν εις αυτο και απεπλευσαμεν.
2Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
3Και αφου διεκριναμεν μακροθεν την Κυπρον και αφηκαμεν αυτην αριστερα, επλεομεν εις Συριαν, και κατεβημεν εις Τυρον· διοτι εκει εμελλε το πλοιον να εκβαλη το φορτιον αυτου.
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.
4Και ευροντες τους μαθητας, εμειναμεν αυτου επτα ημερας· οιτινες ελεγον προς τον Παυλον δια του Πνευματος να μη αναβη εις Ιερουσαλημ.
4Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5Αφου δε ετελειωσαμεν τας ημερας εκεινας, εξελθοντες επορευομεθα και προεπεμπον ημας παντες συν γυναιξι και τεκνοις εως εξω της πολεως, και γονατισαντες επι τον αιγιαλον προσηυχηθημεν,
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.
6και ασπασθεντες αλληλους επεβημεν εις το πλοιον, εκεινοι δε υπεστρεψαν εις τα ιδια.
6After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7Και ημεις τελειωσαντες τον πλουν απο Τυρου κατηντησαμεν εις Πτολεμαιδα, και ασπασθεντες τους αδελφους εμειναμεν παρ' αυτοις μιαν ημεραν.
7When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
8[] Τη δε επαυριον, ο Παυλος και οι περι αυτον αναχωρησαντες, ηλθομεν εις Καισαρειαν· και εισελθοντες εις τον οικον Φιλιππου του Ευαγγελιστου, του οντος εκ των επτα, εμειναμεν παρ' αυτω.
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.
9Ειχε δε ουτος τεσσαρας θυγατερας παρθενους, αιτινες προεφητευον.
9Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10Και ενω διετριβομεν εκει ημερας πολλας, κατεβη απο της Ιουδαιας προφητης τις ονοματι Αγαβος,
10As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11και ελθων προς ημας, ελαβε την ζωνην του Παυλου και δεσας τας χειρας εαυτου και τους ποδας ειπε· Ταυτα λεγει το Πνευμα το Αγιον· Τον ανδρα, του οποιου ειναι η ζωνη αυτη, ουτω θελουσι δεσει εν Ιερουσαλημ οι Ιουδαιοι και θελουσι παραδωσει εις τας χειρας των εθνων.
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.’”
12Και ως ηκουσαμεν ταυτα, παρεκαλουμεν αυτον και ημεις και οι εντοπιοι να μη αναβη εις Ιερουσαλημ.
12When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13Ο Παυλος ομως απεκριθη· Τι καμνετε, κλαιοντες και καταθλιβοντες την καρδιαν μου; επειδη εγω ουχι μονον να δεθω, αλλα και να αποθανω εις Ιερουσαλημ ειμαι ετοιμος υπερ του ονοματος του Κυριου Ιησου.
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.”
14Και επειδη δεν επειθετο, ησυχασαμεν ειποντες· Ας γεινη το θελημα του Κυριου.
14When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15[] Μετα δε τας ημερας ταυτας ετοιμασαντες την αποσκευην ημων, ανεβαινομεν εις Ιερουσαλημ·
15After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16ηλθον δε μεθ' ημων και τινες των μαθητων εκ της Καισαρειας, φεροντες Μνασωνα τινα Κυπριον, παλαιον μαθητην, παρα τω οποιω εμελλομεν να ξενισθωμεν.
16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17Και αφου ηλθομεν εις Ιεροσολυμα, μετα χαρας εδεχθησαν ημας οι αδελφοι.
17When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18Την δε ακολουθον ημεραν υπηγεν ο Παυλος μεθ' ημων προς τον Ιακωβον, και ηλθον παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι.
18The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19Και ασπασθεις αυτους, διηγειτο καθ' εν εκαστον οσα εκαμεν ο Θεος μεταξυ των εθνων δια της διακονιας αυτου.
19When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20Εκεινοι δε ακουσαντες εδοξαζον τον Κυριον, και ειπον προς αυτον· Βλεπεις, αδελφε, ποσαι μυριαδες ειναι εκ των Ιουδαιων οιτινες επιστευσαν, και παντες ειναι ζηλωται του νομου.
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.
21Εμαθον δε περι σου οτι διδασκεις παντας τους μεταξυ των εθνων Ιουδαιους να αποστατησωσιν απο του Μωυσεως, λεγων να μη περιτεμνωσι τα τεκνα αυτων μηδε να περιπατωσι κατα τα εθιμα.
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.
22Τι ειναι λοιπον; μελλει βεβαιως να συναχθη πληθος· διοτι θελουσιν ακουσει οτι ηλθες.
22What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23Καμε λοιπον τουτο, το οποιον σοι λεγομεν· Ευρισκονται παρ' ημιν τεσσαρες ανδρες, οιτινες εχουσιν ευχην εφ' εαυτων·
23Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24παραλαβε τουτους και καθαρισθητι μετ' αυτων και δαπανησον δι' αυτους δια να ξυρισθωσι την κεφαλην, και να γνωρισωσι παντες οτι δεν υπαρχει ουδεν εκ των οσα εμαθον περι σου, αλλ' ακολουθεις και συ φυλαττων τον νομον.
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.
25Περι δε των εθνων, τα οποια επιστευσαν, ημεις εγραψαμεν, αποφασισαντες να μη φυλαττωσι μηδεν τοιουτον, παρα μονον να απεχωσιν απο του ειδωλοθυτου και του αιματος και πνικτου και πορνειας.
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.”
26Τοτε ο Παυλος παραλαβων τους ανδρας, την ακολουθον ημεραν καθαρισθεις μετ' αυτων εισηλθεν εις το ιερον, διαγγελλων ποτε εκπληρουνται αι ημεραι του καθαρισμου, οτε θελει γεινει προσφορα υπερ ενος εκαστου αυτων.
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.
27[] Ως δε εμελλον αι επτα ημεραι να συντελεσθωσιν, οι απο της Ασιας Ιουδαιοι ιδοντες αυτον εν τω ιερω, εταραξαν παντα τον οχλον και εβαλον τας χειρας επ' αυτον,
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,
28κραζοντες· Ανδρες Ισραηλιται, βοηθειτε· ουτος ειναι ο ανθρωπος, οστις διδασκει παντας πανταχου εναντιον του λαου και του νομου και του τοπου τουτου· προς τουτοις δε εισηγαγε και Ελληνας εις το ιερον και εβεβηλωσε τον αγιον τουτον τοπον·
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!”
29διοτι ειχον ιδει προλαβοντως Τροφιμον τον Εφεσιον μετ' αυτου εν τη πολει, τον οποιον ενομιζον οτι ο Παυλος εισηγαγεν εις το ιερον.
29For they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30Και εκινηθη η πολις ολη και εγεινε συρροη του λαου, και πιασαντες τον Παυλον εσυρον αυτον εξω του ιερου, και ευθυς εκλεισθησαν αι θυραι.
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.
31Ενω δε εζητουν να θανατωσωσιν αυτον, ανεβη η φημη εις τον χιλιαρχον του ταγματος, οτι ολη η Ιερουσαλημ ειναι τεταραγμενη·
31As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32οστις παραλαβων ευθυς στρατιωτας και εκατονταρχους, εδραμε κατω προς αυτους. Οι δε ιδοντες τον χιλιαρχον και τους στρατιωτας, επαυσαν να τυπτωσι τον Παυλον.
32Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33Τοτε πλησιασας ο χιλιαρχος, επιασεν αυτον και προσεταξε να δεθη με δυο αλυσεις, και ηρωτα τις ητο και τι ειχε πραξει.
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.
34Και εφωναζον μεταξυ του οχλου αλλοι αλλο τι και αλλοι αλλο· μη δυναμενος δε δια τον θορυβον να μαθη το βεβαιον, προσεταξε να φερθη εις το φρουριον.
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.
35Οτε δε εφθασεν εις τας βαθμιδας, συνεβη να βασταζηται υπο των στρατιωτων δια την βιαν του οχλου·
35When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36επειδη το πληθος του λαου ηκολουθει, κραζον· Σηκωσον αυτον.
36for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37Ενω δε εμελλεν ο Παυλος να εισαχθη εις το φρουριον, λεγει προς τον χιλιαρχον· Μοι ειναι συγκεχωρημενον να σοι ειπω τι; Ο δε ειπεν· Εξευρεις Ελληνικα;
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?
38δεν εισαι συ ταχα ο Αιγυπτιος, ο προ των ημερων τουτων διεγειρας εις αποστασιαν και εκβαλων εις την ερημον τους τετρακισχιλιους ανδρας φονεις;
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?”
39Και ο Παυλος ειπεν· Εγω ειμαι ανθρωπος Ιουδαιος εκ της Ταρσου, πολιτης επισημου πολεως της Κιλικιας και σε παρακαλω, δος μοι την αδειαν να λαλησω προς τον λαον.
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.”
40Και αφου εδωκεν εις αυτον την αδειαν, ο Παυλος, σταθεις επι των βαθμιδων, εσεισε την χειρα εις τον λαον· και γενομενης σιωπης μεγαλης, ελαλησεν εις την Εβραικην διαλεκτον, λεγων·
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,
