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.

²ܘܐܫܟܚܢ ܬܡܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܕܐܙܠܐ ܠܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܘܤܠܩܢ ܠܗ ܘܪܕܝܢ ܀

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

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

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.

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

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

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 ܀

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.

⁶ܘܢܫܩܢ ܠܚܕܕܐ ܘܤܠܩܢ ܠܐܠܦܐ ܘܗܦܟܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܒܬܝܗܘܢ ܀

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

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

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

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

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.

⁹ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܝ ܠܗ ܒܢܬܐ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܐܪܒܥ ܕܡܬܢܒܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܀

⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

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

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

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 ܀

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.’”

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

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

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 ܀

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.”

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

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

¹⁵ܘܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܛܝܒܢ ܘܤܠܩܢ ܠܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

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

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

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

¹⁷ܘܟܕ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܩܒܠܘܢ ܐܚܐ ܚܕܝܐܝܬ ܀

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

²²ܡܛܠ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܡܫܬܡܥܐ ܗܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܠܟܐ ܀

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.”

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 ܀

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.

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

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,

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 ܀

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!”

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

³⁵ܘܟܕ ܡܛܝ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܠܕܪܓܐ ܛܥܢܘܗܝ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܡܛܠ ܩܛܝܪܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܀

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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?”

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

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.”

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

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,
