21 — Acts

1And when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes: and from thence to Patara.E allorchè distaccatici da essi avemmo fatto vela, andammo a dirittura a Coo, e il dì seguente a Rodi, e di lì a Patara.AND vvhen it came to passe that vve sailed, being caried from them, vvith a straight course vve came to Cóos, and the day folovving to Rhodes, and from thence to Pátara.Cum autem factum esset ut navigaremus abstracti ab eis, recto cursu venimus Coum, et sequenti die Rhodum, et inde Pataram. 2And when we had found a ship sailing over to Phenice, we went aboard and set forth.E trovata una nave, che passava nella Fenicia, ci imbarcammo, e facemmo vela.And when vve had found a ship that passed ouer to Phoenîce, going vp into it vve sailed.Et cum invenissemus navem transfretantem in Phœnicen, ascendentes navigavimus. 3And when we had discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.E avendo in vista Cipro, lasciatala alla sinistra, tirammo verso la Siria, e arrivammo a Tiro: perché quivi dovea la nave lasciare il suo carico.And vvhen vve vvere in the sight of Cypres, leauing it on the left hand, vve sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship vvas to discharge her lode.Cum apparuissemus autem Cypro, relinquentes eam ad sinistram, navigavimus in Syriam, et venimus Tyrum: ibi enim navis expositura erat onus. 4And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul, through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.E avendo trovato dei discepoli, ci fermammo ivi sette giorni. Questi essendo ispirati, dicevano a Paolo, che non andasse a Gerusalemme.And finding disciples, vve taried there seuen daies: vvho said to Paul by the Spirit, that he should not goe vp to Hierusalem.Inventis autem discipulis, mansimus ibi diebus septem: qui Paulo dicebant per Spiritum ne ascenderet Jerosolymam. 5And the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we kneeled down on the shore: and we prayed.E finiti que' giorni ci partivamo, accompagnandoci tutti con le mogli, e i figliuoli sin fuori della città: e piegate le ginocchia sul lido, facemmo orazione.And the daies being expired, departing vve vvent forvvard, al bringing vs on the vvay, vvith their vviues and children, til vve vvere out of the citie: and falling vpon our knees on the shore, vve praied.Et expletis diebus, profecti ibamus, deducentibus nos omnibus cum uxoribus et filiis usque foras civitatem: et positis genibus in littore, oravimus.

6And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship. And they returned home.E abbracciatici scambievolmente, entrammo noi nella nave: e quelli tornarono alle case loro.And vvhen vve had bid one an other farevvel, vve vvent vp into the ship: and they returned vnto their ovvne.Et cum valefecissemus invicem, ascendimus navem: illi autem redierunt in sua. 7But we, having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.E noi terminando la navigazione, da Tiro arrivammo a Tolemaide: e abbracciati i fratelli, ci fermammo con essi un giorno.But vve hauing ended the nauigation, from Tyre came dovvne to Prolomáis: and saluting the brethren, vve taried one day vvith them.Nos vero navigatione expleta a Tyro descendimus Ptolemaidam: et salutatis fratribus, mansimus die una apud illos. 8And the next day departing, we came to Cæsarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.E partiti il dì seguente andammo a Cesarea, ed entrati in casa di Filippo Evangelista (che era uno dei sette), ci fermammo da lui.And the next day departing, vve came to Caesarêa. And entring into the house of Philip the Euangelist, vvho vvas one of the seuen, vve taried vvith him.Alia autem die profecti, venimus Cæsaream. Et intrantes domum Philippi evangelistæ, qui erat unus de septem, mansimus apud eum. 9And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.Questi avea quattro figliuole vergini, che profetavano.And he had foure daughters virgins, that did prophecie.Huic autem erant quatuor filiæ virgines prophetantes. 10And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.Ed essendoci trattenuti più giorni, arrivò dalla Giudea un certo profeta per nome Agabo.And as vve abode there for certaine daies, there came a certaine prophet from Ievvrie, named Agabus.Et cum moraremur per dies aliquot, supervenit quidam a Judæa propheta, nomine Agabus. 11Who, when he was come to us, took Paul’s girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.E venuto da noi prese la cintola di Paolo: e legandosi i piedi, e le mani, disse: Lo Spirito santo dice così: l'uomo, di cui è questa cintola, lo legheranno così i Giudei in Gerusalemme, e lo daranno nelle mani de' Gentili.He, vvhē he vvas come to vs, tooke Paules girdle: and binding his ovvne handes & feete, he said, Thus saith the holy Ghost: The man vvhose girdle this is, so shal the Ievves binde in Hierusalem, & shal deliuer him into the handes of the Gentiles.Is cum venisset ad nos, tulit zonam Pauli: et alligans sibi pedes et manus, dixit: Hæc dicit Spiritus Sanctus: Virum, cujus est zona hæc, sic alligabunt in Jerusalem Judæi, et tradent in manus gentium.

12Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.Udita la qual cosa, e noi, e quelli, che eran di quel luogo, lo pregavamo, che non andasse a Gerusalemme.Vvhich when vve had heard, vve & they that vvere of the same place, desired him that he would not goe vp to Hierusalem.Quod cum audissemus, rogabamus nos, et qui loci illius erant, ne ascenderet Jerosolymam. 13Then Paul answered and said: What do you mean, weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.Allora rispose Paolo, e disse: Che fate voi piagnendo, e affliggendo il mio cuore? Conciossiachè io per me son pronto non solo a esser legato, ma anche a morire in Gerusalemme per il nome del Signore Gesù.Then Paul ansvvered, and said, Vvhat doe you, vveeping and afflicting my hart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Hierusalem for the name of our Lord IESVS.Tunc respondit Paulus, et dixit: Quid facitis flentes, et affligentes cor meum ? Ego enim non solum alligari, sed et mori in Jerusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Jesu. 14And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.E non potendo persuaderlo, ci chetammo, dicendo: La volontà del Signore sia fatta.And vvhen vve could not persuade him, we ceased, saying, The vvil of our Lord be done.Et cum ei suadere non possemus, quievimus, dicentes: Domini voluntas fiat. 15And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.Passati que' giorni ci ponemmo in ordine, e partimmo per Gerusalemme.And after these daies, being prepared, vve vvent vp to Hierusalem.Post dies autem istos, præparati ascendebamus in Jerusalem. 16And there went also with us some of the disciples from Cæsarea, bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.E venner con noi anche alcuni de' discepoli da Cesarea, conducendo seco colui, che ci dovea alloggiare, Mnasone Cipriotto, antico discepolo.And there came also of the disciples from Caesarêa vvith vs, bringing vvith them one Iason a Cyprian (vvith vvhom vve should lodge) an old disciple.Venerunt autem et ex discipulis a Cæsarea nobiscum, adducentes secum apud quem hospitaremur Mnasonem quemdam Cyprium, antiquum discipulum. 17And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.E quando fummo in Gerusalemme, ci ricevettero con piacere i fratelli.And vvhen vve vvere come to Hierusalem, the brethren receiued vs gladly.Et cum venissemus Jerosolymam, libenter exceperunt nos fratres.

18And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James: and all the ancients were assembled.E il dì vegnente entrò Paolo con noi in casa di Giacomo, e tutti i seniori si raunarono.And the day folovving Paul vvent in vvith vs to Iames, and al the Auncients vvere assembled.Sequenti autem die introibat Paulus nobiscum ad Jacobum, omnesque collecti sunt seniores. 19Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.E salutati che gli ebbe, esponeva egli una per una le cose, che Dio aveva fatto per suo ministero tralle genti.Vvhom vvhen he had saluted, he told particularly vvhat God had done among the Gentiles by his ministerie.Quos cum salutasset, narrabat per singula quæ Deus fecisset in gentibus per ministerium ipsius. 20But they hearing it, glorified God and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law.Ed eglino, udito ciò, magnificarono il Signore, e gli dissero: Tu vedi, o fratello, quante migliaja di Giudei vi sono, che hanno creduto, e tutti sono zelatori della legge.But they hearing it, magnified God, and said to him: Thou seest (brother) hovv many thousands there are among the Ievves that haue beleeued: and al are zelátours of the Lavv.At illi cum audissent, magnificabant Deum, dixeruntque ei: Vides, frater, quot millia sunt in Judæis qui crediderunt, et omnes æmulatores sunt legis. 21Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles to depart from Moses: saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom.Or essi hanno udito, che tu insegni a tutti i Giudei, che sono tra le genti, a separarsi da Mosè, dicendo, che non circoncidano i figliuoli, né vivano secondo le consuetudini.But they haue heard of thee that thou doest teach those Ievves that are among the Gentiles, to depart from Moyses: saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor vvalke according to the custome.Audierunt autem de te quia discessionem doceas a Moyse eorum qui per gentes sunt Judæorum, dicens non debere eos circumcidere filios suos, neque secundum consuetudinem ingredi. 22What is it therefore? The multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.Che è adunque questo? Certamente bisogna, che si aduni la moltitudine; imperocché sapranno, che sei arrivato.Vvhat is it then? needes must the multitude assemble: for they vvil heare that thou art come.Quid ergo est ? utique oportet convenire multitudinem: audient enim te supervenisse.

23Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them.Fa' adunque quello, che ti diciamo: noi abbiamo quattro uomini, che hanno un voto sopra di se.Doe this therfore vvhich vve tel thee, There are vvith vs foure men, that haue a vovve on them.Hoc ergo fac quod tibi dicimus. Sunt nobis viri quatuor, votum habentes super se. 24Take these and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads. And all will know that the things which they have heard of thee are false: but that thou thyself also walkest keeping the law.Prendi teco costoro, e santificati con essi: e spendi per loro, che si radano il capo: e sappiano tutti, che di quello, che hanno udito di te, non è nulla, ma cammini tu ancora nell'osservanza della legge.Taking these vnto thee, sanctifie thy self vvith them: and bestovv on them, that they may shaue their heads: and al shal knovv that the things vvhich they heard of thee, are false: but that thy self also vvalkest • keeping the Lavv.His assumptis, sanctifica te cum illis, et impende in illis ut radant capita: et scient omnes quia quæ de te audierunt, falsa sunt, sed ambulas et ipse custodiens legem. 25But, as touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication.Quanto poi a que' Gentili che hanno creduto, noi abbiamo scritto, determinando, che si astengano dalle cose offerte agli idoli, dal sangue, dal soffogato, e dalla fornicazione.But concerning them that beleeue of the Gentils, vve haue written, decre•ing that they should refraine them selues from the immolated to Idols, and bloud, and suffocated, and fornication.De his autem qui crediderunt ex gentibus, nos scripsimus judicantes ut abstineant se ab idolis immolato, et sanguine, et suffocato, et fornicatione. 26Then Paul took the men and, the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them.Allora Paolo, presi seco quegli uomini, il dì seguente purificato con essi entrò nel tempio, dando parte del compimento de' giorni della purificazione, sino a tanto che si offerisse per ciascheduno di essi l'obblazione.Then Paul taking the men vnto him, the next day being purified vvith them entred into the temple, shevving the accomplishment of the daies of the purification, vntil an oblation vvas offered for euery one of them.Tunc Paulus, assumptis viris, postera die purificatus cum illis intravit in templum, annuntians expletionem dierum purificationis, donec offerretur pro unoquoque eorum oblatio.

27But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people and laid hands upon him, crying out:Ma quando erano sul finire i sette giorni, i Giudei dell'Asia, vedutolo nel tempio, concitarono tutto il popolo, e gli miser le mani addosso, gridando:But vvhiles the seuen daies vvere a finishing, those Ievves that vvere of Asia, vvhen they had seen him in the temple, stirred vp al the people, and laid handes vpon him,Dum autem septem dies consummarentur, hi qui de Asia erant Judæi, cum vidissent eum in templo, concitaverunt omnem populum, et injecerunt ei manus, clamantes: 28Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people and the law and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple and hath violated this holy place.Uomini Israeliti, aiuto: questi è quell'uomo, il quale insegna a tutti per ogni dove contro il popolo, e la legge, e questo luogo; e di più ha introdotto de' Gentili nel tempio, e ha contaminato questo luogo santo.crying, Ye men of Israël, this is the man that against the people & the Lavv and this place teaching al men euery vvhere, hath also moreouer brought in Gentiles into the temple, and hath violated this holy place. (Viri Israëlitæ, adjuvate: hic est homo qui adversus populum, et legem, et locum hunc, omnes ubique docens, insuper et gentiles induxit in templum, et violavit sanctum locum istum. 29(For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him. whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)(Imperocché avean veduto con lui per la città Trofimo Efesio, il quale credettero, che Paolo avesse introdotto nel tempio.)For they had seen Trōphimus the Ephesian in the citie vvith him, vvhom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)Viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium in civitate cum ipso, quem æstimaverunt quoniam in templum introduxisset Paulus. 30And the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut.E si mosse a rumore tutta la città, e accorse il popolo. E preso paolo lo strascinaron fuora del tempio: e subito furon chiuse le porte.And the vvhole citie vvas in an vproare: and there vvas made a concourse of the people. And apprehending Paul, they drevve him forth of the temple: and immediatly the doores vvere shut.Commotaque est civitas tota, et facta est concursio populi. Et apprehendentes Paulum, trahebant eum extra templum: et statim clausæ sunt januæ.

31And as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band that all Jerusalem was in confusion.E mentre cercavan d'ucciderlo fù avvisato il tribuno della coorte, come tutta Gerusalemme era in tumulto.And as they sought to kil him, it vvas told the Tribune of the band, That al Hierusalem is in a confusion.Quærentibus autem eum occidere, nuntiatum est tribuno cohortis quia tota confunditur Jerusalem. 32Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul.Il quale subito presi seco i soldati, e i centurioni, corse a coloro. I quali visto il tribuno, e i soldati, si ristettero dal batter Paolo.Vvho forthvvith taking vnto him souldiars & Centurions, ranne dovvne to them. Who, vvhē they had seen the Tribune and the souldiars, ceased to strike Paul.Qui statim, assumptis militibus et centurionibus, decurrit ad illos. Qui cum vidissent tribunum et milites, cessaverunt percutere Paulum. 33Then the tribune, coming near, took him and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded who he was and what he had done.Allora accostatosi il tribuno lo prese, e ordinò, che fosse legato con due catene: e domandò, chi egli fosse, o quel, che avesse fatto.Then the Tribune comming neere apprehended him, and commaunded him to be bound vvith tvvo chaines: and he demaunded vvho he vvas, and vvhat he had done.Tunc accedens tribunus apprehendit eum, et jussit eum alligari catenis duabus: et interrogabat quis esset, et quid fecisset. 34And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.Della turba chi gridava una cosa, e chi un'altra. E non potendo sapere il certo per causa del tumulto, ordinò, che fosse condotto agli alloggiamenti.And some cried one thing, some an other, in the multitude. And vvhereas he could not knovv the certaintie for the tumult, he commaunded him to be led into the castel.Alii autem aliud clamabant in turba. Et cum non posset certum cognoscere præ tumultu, jussit duci eum in castra. 35And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.E quando e' fu arrivato ai gradini, convenne, che fosse portato da' soldati a cagione della violenza del popolo.And vvhen he vvas come to the staires, it chaunced that he vvas caried of the souldiars because of the violence of the people.Et cum venisset ad gradus, contigit ut portaretur a militibus propter vim populi.

36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with him!Imperocché la moltitudine del popolo lo seguitava, gridando: Levalo dal mondo.For the multitude of the people folovved, crying, Avvay vvith him.Sequebatur enim multitudo populi, clamans: Tolle eum. 37And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May I speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek?E stando Paolo per entrare negli alloggiamenti, disse al tribuno: Mi è egli permesso di dirti qualche cosa? È quegli disse: Sai il Greco?And vvhen Paul began to be brought into the castel, he saith to the Tribune, Is it lavvful for me to speake something to thee? Vvho said, Canst thou speake Greeke?Et cum cœpisset induci in castra Paulus, dicit tribuno: Si licet mihi loqui aliquid ad te ? Qui dixit: Græce nosti ? 38Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers?Non se'tu quell'Egiziano, il quale ne' di passati movesti sedizione, e conducesti al deserto quattromila sicarj?Art not thou the Aegyptian that before these daies did raise a tumult, and didst lead forth into the desert foure thousand men that vvere murderers?nonne tu es Ægyptius, qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti, et eduxisti in desertum quatuor millia virorum sicariorum ? 39But Paul said to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.E Paolo dissegli: Io sono certamente uomo Giudeo, cittadino di Tarso nella Cilicia, città non ignota. Ma pregoti, permettimi di parlare al popolo.And Paul said to him, I am a man truely a Ievve of Tarsus, a citizen not of an obscure citie of Cilicia. And I desire thee, permit me to speake to the people.Et dixit ad eum Paulus: Ego homo sum quidem Judæus a Tarso Ciliciæ, non ignotæ civitatis municeps. Rogo autem te, permitte mihi loqui ad populum. 40And when he had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:E avendoglielo quegli permesso, Paolo stando in piedi su la scalinata, fece cenno con mano al popolo, e fattosi un gran silenzio, parlò loro in lingua Ebrea, dicendo;And vvhen he had permitted him, Paul stāding on the staiers, beckened with his hand to the people. and great silence being made, he spake vnto them in the Hebrevv tongue, saying.Et cum ille permisisset, Paulus stans in gradibus annuit manu ad plebem, et magno silentio facto, allocutus est lingua hebræa, dicens:
