1And after the tumult was ceased, Paul calling to him the disciples and exhorting them, took his leave and set forward to go into Macedonia.Quietato che fu il tumulto, Paolo, chiamati i discepoli, e fatta loro un'esortazione, e detto addio, si partì per andare nella Macedonia.AND after that the tumult vvas ceased, Paul calling the disciples, and exhorting them, tooke his leaue, and set forvvard to goe into Macedonia.Postquam autem cessavit tumultus, vocatis Paulus discipulis, et exhortatus eos, valedixit, et profectus est ut iret in Macedoniam. 2And when he had gone over those parts and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Greece:E avendo scorsi que' paesi, e fattevi molte istruzioni, passò in Grecia:And vvhen he had vvalked through those partes, & had exhorted them vvith much speach, he came to Greece:Cum autem perambulasset partes illas, et exhortatus eos fuisset multo sermone, venit ad Græciam: 3Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria. So he took a resolution to return through Macedonia.Dove avendo passati tre mesi, gli tesero insidie i Giudei nella navigazione, che era per fare verso la Siria: e prese il partito di ritornare per la Macedonia.vvhere vvhen he had spent three moneths, the Ievves laid vvait for him as he vvas about to saile into Syria: and he had councel to returne through Macedonia.ubi cum fecisset menses tres, factæ sunt illi insidiæ a Judæis navigaturo in Syriam: habuitque consilium ut reverteretur per Macedoniam. 4And there accompanied him Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus, of Berea: and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus: and Gaius of Derbe and Timothy: and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.E lo accompagnarono Sopatro di Pirro di Berea, e de' Tessalonicesi Aristarco, e Secondo, e Gajo di Derbe, e Timoteo: e gli Asiani, Tichico, e Trofimo.And there accompanied him So••pater of Pyrrhus, of Beroea: and of Thessalonians, Aristarchus, and Secundus: and Caius of Derbè, and Timothee: and of Asia, Tychicus and Tróphimus.Comitatus est autem eum Sopater Pyrrhi Berœensis, Thessalonicensium vero Aristarchus, et Secundus, et Gajus Derbeus, et Timotheus: Asiani vero Tychicus et Trophimus. 5These, going before, stayed for us at Troas.Questi essendo partiti avanti, ci aspettarono a Troade:These going before, staied for vs at Troas:Hi cum præcessissent, sustinuerunt nos Troade: 6But we sailed from Philippi after the days of the azymes and came to them to Troas in five days, where we abode seven days.Noi poi facemmo vela dopo i giorni degli azzimi da Filippi, e in cinque giorni li raggiungemmo a Troade, dove ci fermammo sette dì.but vve sailed after the daies of Azymes from Philippi, and came to them vnto Troas in fiue daies, vvhere vve abode seuen daies.nos vero navigavimus post dies azymorum a Philippis, et venimus ad eos Troadem in diebus quinque, ubi demorati sumus diebus septem.

7And on the first day of the week, when we were assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, being to depart on the morrow. And he continued his speech until midnight.E il primo di della settimana essendoci adunati per ispezzare il pane, Paolo, che stava per partire il giorno dipoi, parlava ad essi, e allungò il discorso sino alla mezzanotte.And in the first of the Sabboth vvhen vve vvere assembled to breake bread, Paul disputed vvith them, being to depart on the morovv, and he continued the sermon vntil midnight.Una autem sabbati cum convenissemus ad frangendum panem, Paulus disputabat cum eis profecturus in crastinum, protraxitque sermonem usque in mediam noctem. 8And there were a great number of lamps in the upper chamber where we were assembled.Ed eranvi molte lampade nel cenacolo, dove eravamo adunati.And there vvere a great number of lampes in the vpper chamber vvhere vve vvere assembled.Erant autem lampades copiosæ in cœnaculo, ubi eramus congregati. 9And a certain young man named Eutychus, sitting on the window, being oppressed with a deep sleep (as Paul was long preaching), by occasion of his sleep fell from the third loft down and was taken up dead.E un giovinotto per nome Eutico stando a sedere sopra una finestra immerso in un profondo sonno, mentre Paolo tirava in lungo il sermone, trasportato dal sonno, cadde dal terzo piano a basso, e fu levato di terra morto.And a certaine yong man named Eútychus, sitting vpon the vvindovv, vvhereas he vvas oppressed vvith heauy sleepe (Paul disputing long) driuē by sleepe, fel from the third loft downe, and vvas taken vp dead.Sedens autem quidam adolescens nomine Eutychus super fenestram, cum mergeretur somno gravi, disputante diu Paulo, ductus somno cecidit de tertio cœnaculo deorsum, et sublatus est mortuus. 10To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him and, embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him.Ma disceso Paolo, si gittò sopra di lui: e abbracciatolo disse: Non vi affannate: l'anima sua è in lui.To vvhom vvhen Paul vvas gone dovvne, he lay vpon him: and embracing him he said, Be not troubled, for his soule is in him.Ad quem cum descendisset Paulus, incubuit super eum: et complexus dixit: Nolite turbari, anima enim ipsius in ipso est. 11Then going up and breaking bread and tasting and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed.E risalito che fu, spezzato il pane, e gustatone, e avendo bastevolmente parlato sino all'alba, così si partì.And going vp and breaking bread and tasting, and hauing talked sufficiently to them vntil day light, so he departed.Ascendens autem, frangensque panem, et gustans, satisque allocutus usque in lucem, sic profectus est.

12And they brought the youth alive and were not a little comforted.E rimenarono vivo il giovinetto, e furono consolati non poco.And they brought the lad aliue, and vvere not a litle comforted.Adduxerunt autem puerum viventem, et consolati sunt non minime. 13But we going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul. For so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land.Ma noi entrati in nave, andammo ad Asson per quindi ricever Paolo: imperocché così aveva ordinato, dovendo egli fare quel viaggio per terra.But vve going vp into the ship, sailed to Asson, from thence meaning to receiue Paul. for so he had ordained, him self purposing to iourney by land.Nos autem ascendentes navem, navigavimus in Asson, inde suscepturi Paulum: sic enim disposuerat ipse per terram iter facturus. 14And when he had met with us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene.Venuto che egli fu a noi in Asson, preso lui, andammo a Mitilene.And vvhen he had found vs in Asson, taking him vvith vs vve came to Mi•yléne.Cum autem convenisset nos in Asson, assumpto eo, venimus Mitylenen. 15And sailing thence, the day following we came over against Chios: and the next day we arrived at Samos: and the day following we came to Miletus.E di li fatta vela, il dì seguente arrivammo dirimpetto a Chio, e il giorno di poi prendemmo terra a Samo, e nell'altro dì giungemmo a Mileto:And sailing thence, the day folovving vve came ouer against Chios: and the other day vve arriued at Samos: and the day folovving vve came to Milétum.Et inde navigantes, sequenti die venimus contra Chium, et alia applicuimus Samum, et sequenti die venimus Miletum. 16For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.Imperocché avea stabilito Paolo di trapassare Efeso, per non esser trattenuto poco o assai nell'Asia. Conciossiachè si affrettava, affine di celebrare, se gli fosse stato possibile, il dì della Pentecoste in Gerusalemme.for Paul had purposed to saile leauing Ephesus, lest any stay should be made him in Asia. For he hastened, if it vvere possible for him, to keepe the day of • Pentecost at Hierusalem.Proposuerat enim Paulus transnavigare Ephesum, ne qua mora illi fieret in Asia. Festinabat enim, si possibile sibi esset, ut diem Pentecostes faceret Jerosolymis. 17And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.Ma da Mileto, mandò a Efeso a chiamare i seniori della Chiesa.And sending from Milétum to Ephesus, he called the Auncients of the Church.A Mileto autem mittens Ephesum, vocavit majores natu ecclesiæ.

18And when they were come to him and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time.I quali venuti da lui, e stando insieme, egli disse loro: Voi sapete dal primo giorno, che io entrai nell'Asia, in qual modo io mi sia stato con voi per tutto questo tempo,Vvho being come to him, and assembled together, he said to them, You knovv from the first day that I entred into Asia, in vvhat maner I haue been vvith you al the time,Qui cum venissent ad eum, et simul essent, dixit eis: Vos scitis a prima die qua ingressus sum in Asiam, qualiter vobiscum per omne tempus fuerim, 19Serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews:Servendo al Signore con tutta umiltà tra le lagrime, e le tentazioni, che mi assalirono per le insidie de' Giudei:seruing our Lord vvith al humilitie and teares, and tentations that did chaunce to me by the conspiracies of the Ievves:serviens Domino cum omni humilitate, et lacrimis, et tentationibus, quæ mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Judæorum: 20How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,In qual modo io non mi sia ritirato dall'annunciarvi, e insegnarvi alcuna delle cose utili, sia in pubblico, sia per le case,Hovv I haue vvithdravven nothing that vvas profitable, but that I preached it to you, & taught you openly and from house to house,quomodo nihil subtraxerim utilium, quominus annuntiarem vobis et docerem vos, publice et per domos, 21Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.Inculcando ai Giudei, e ai Gentili la penitenza inverso Dio, e la fede nel Signor nostro Gesù Cristo.testifying to Ievves and Gentils penance tovvard God and faith in our Lord IESVS CHRIST.testificans Judæis atque gentilibus in Deum pœnitentiam, et fidem in Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum. 22And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there:Ora poi ecco, che io legato dallo Spirito, vado a Gerusalemme: non sapendo, quali cose ivi mi abbiano ad accadere:And novv behold, being bound by the spirit, I goe to Hierusalem: not knovving vvhat things shal befall me in it,Et nunc ecce alligatus ego spiritu, vado in Jerusalem: quæ in ea ventura sint mihi, ignorans: 23Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.Se non che lo Spirito santo in tutte le città mi assicura, e dice, che catene e tribolazioni mi aspettano a Gerusalemme.but that the Holy Ghost through out al cities doth protest to me, saying: that bands and tribulations abide me at Hierusalem.nisi quod Spiritus Sanctus per omnes civitates mihi protestatur, dicens quoniam vincula et tribulationes Jerosolymis me manent.

24But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.Ma niuna di queste cose io temo: né tengo la mia vita per più preziosa di me, purché io termini la mia carriera, e il ministero della parola ricevuto dal Signore Gesù, per render testimonianza al Vangelo della grazia di Dio.But I feare none of these things, neither doe I make my life more pretious thē my self, so that I may cōsūmat my course & ministerie vvhich I receiued of our Lord IESVS, to testifie the Gospel of the grace of God.Sed nihil horum vereor: nec facio animam meam pretiosiorem quam me, dummodo consummem cursum meum, et ministerium verbi quod accepi a Domino Jesu, testificari Evangelium gratiæ Dei. 25And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.E ora ecco, che io so, che non vedrete più la mia faccia voi tutti, tra' quali io sono passato, predicando il regno di Dio.And novv behold I doe knovv, that you shal no more see my face al you, through vvhom I haue passed preaching the kingdom of God.Et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam vos omnes, per quos transivi prædicans regnum Dei. 26Wherefore I take you to witness this day that I am clear from the blood of all men.Per la qual cosa vi prendo a testimoni in questo giorno, come io sono mondo del sangue di tutti.Vvherefore I take you to witnesse this present day that I am cleere from the bloud of al.Quapropter contestor vos hodierna die, quia mundus sum a sanguine omnium. 27For I have not spared to declare unto you all, the counsel of God.Conciossiachè io non mi son ritirato dall'annunziare a voi tutti i consigli di Dio.For I haue not spared to declare vnto you al the counsel of God.Non enim subterfugi, quominus annuntiarem omne consilium Dei vobis. 28Take heed to yourselves and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God which he hath purchased with his own blood.Badate a voi stessi, e a tutto il gregge, di cui lo Spirito santo vi ha costituiti Vescovi per pascere la Chiesa di Dio acquistata da lui col proprio sangue.Take heede to your selues and to the vvhole flocke vvherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the Church of God vvhich he hath purchased with his ovvne bloud.Attendite vobis, et universo gregi, in quo vos Spiritus Sanctus posuit episcopos regere ecclesiam Dei, quam acquisivit sanguine suo.

29I know that after my departure ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.Io so, che dopo la mia partenza entreranno tra voi de' lupi crudeli, che non risparmieranno il gregge.I knovv that after my departure there vvil • rauening vvolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke.Ego scio quoniam intrabunt post discessionem meam lupi rapaces in vos, non parcentes gregi. 30And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.E anche di mezzo a voi stessi si leveranno su degli uomini a insegnare cose perverse, per trarsi dietro de' discepoli.and out of your ovvne selues shal arise men speaking peruerse things, to dravv avvay disciples after them selues.Et ex vobisipsis exsurgent viri loquentes perversa, ut abducant discipulos post se. 31Therefore watch, keeping in memory that for three years I ceased not with tears to admonish every one of you, night and day.Per la qual cosa siate vigilanti, rammentandovi, come per tre anni non cessai di, e notte di ammonire con lagrime ciascheduno di voi.For the vvhich cause be vigilant, keeping in memorie that for three yeres night and day I ceased not vvith teares to admonish euery one of you.Propter quod vigilate, memoria retinentes quoniam per triennium nocte et die non cessavi, cum lacrimis monens unumquemque vestrum. 32And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.E ora vi raccomando a Dio, e alla parola della grazia di lui, il quale è potente per edificare, e dare a voi l'eredità con tutti i santificati.And novv I commend you to God and to the vvord of his grace, vvho is able to edifie, and to giue inheritance in al the sanctified.Et nunc commendo vos Deo, et verbo gratiæ ipsius, qui potens est ædificare, et dare hæreditatem in sanctificatis omnibus. 33I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold or apparel, asL'argento, e l'oro, e le vestimenta, di nessuno non ho io desiderato,No mans siluer and gold or garment haue I coueted.Argentum, et aurum, aut vestem nullius concupivi, sicut 34You yourselves know. For such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.Conforme voi sapete: conciossiachè al bisogno mio, e di quelli, che sono con me, servirono queste mani.Your selues knovv that for such things as vvere needful for me and them that are vvith me, these hands haue ministred.ipsi scitis: quoniam ad ea quæ mihi opus erant, et his qui mecum sunt, ministraverunt manus istæ. 35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.In tutto vi ho dimostrato, come in tal guisa lavorando, conviene sostenere i deboli, e ricordarsi della parola del Signore Gesù, poiché egli disse: È maggior ventura il dare, che il ricevere.I haue shevved you al things, that so labouring, you must receiue the vveake, and remember the vvord of our Lord IESVS, because he said, • It is a more blessed thing to giue rather then to take.Omnia ostendi vobis, quoniam sic laborantes, oportet suscipere infirmos ac meminisse verbi Domini Jesu: quoniam ipse dixit: Beatius est magis dare, quam accipere.

36And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.E dette che ebbe tali cose, piegate le ginocchia, orò con essi tutti.And vvhen he had said these things, falling on his knees he praied vvith al them.Et cum hæc dixisset, positis genibus suis oravit cum omnibus illis. 37And there was much weeping among them all. And falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,E fu grande di tutti il pianto: e gittandosi sul collo di Paolo lo bacciavano,And there vvas great vveeping made of al, and falling vpon the necke of Paul, they kissed him,Magnus autem fletus factus est omnium: et procumbentes super collum Pauli, osculabantur eum, 38Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.Afflitti massimamente per quella parola detta da lui, che non erano per vedere mai più la sua faccia. E lo accompagnavano alla nave.being sorie most of al for the vvord vvhich he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him going vnto the shippe.dolentes maxime in verbo quod dixerat, quoniam amplius faciem ejus non essent visuri. Et deducebant eum ad navem.
