Acts 21

And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

Καθως δε αποσπασθεντες απ αυτων απεπλευσαμεν, ηλθομεν κατ ευθειαν εις την Κων, την δε ακολουθον ημεραν εις την Ροδον, και εκειθεν εις Παταρα.

And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

Και ευροντες πλοιον μελλον να περαση εις Φοινικην, επεβημεν εις αυτο και απεπλευσαμεν.

Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

Και 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.

And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

Και ευροντες τους μαθητας, εμειναμεν αυτου επτα ημερας οιτινες ελεγον προς τον Παυλον δια του Πνευματος να μη αναβη εις Ιερουσαλημ.

And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

Αφου 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,

And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

και ασπασθεντες αλληλους επεβημεν εις το πλοιον, εκεινοι δε υπεστρεψαν εις τα ιδια.

And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

Και ημεις τελειωσαντες τον πλουν απο Τυρου κατηντησαμεν εις Πτολεμαιδα, και ασπασθεντες τους αδελφους εμειναμεν παρ αυτοις μιαν ημεραν.

And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

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.

And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

Ειχε δε ουτος τεσσαρας θυγατερας παρθενους, αιτινες προεφητευον.

And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.

Και ενω διετριβομεν εκει ημερας πολλας, κατεβη απο της Ιουδαιας προφητης τις ονοματι Αγαβος,

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

και 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.

And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

Και ως ηκουσαμεν ταυτα, παρεκαλουμεν αυτον και ημεις και οι εντοπιοι να μη αναβη εις Ιερουσαλημ.

Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

Ο 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.

And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

Και επειδη δεν επειθετο, ησυχασαμεν ειποντες Ας γεινη το θελημα του Κυριου.

And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

Μετα δε τας ημερας ταυτας ετοιμασαντες την αποσκευην ημων, ανεβαινομεν εις Ιερουσαλημ

There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

ηλθον δε μεθ ημων και τινες των μαθητων εκ της Καισαρειας, φεροντες Μνασωνα τινα Κυπριον, παλαιον μαθητην, παρα τω οποιω εμελλομεν να ξενισθωμεν.

And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

Και αφου ηλθομεν εις Ιεροσολυμα, μετα χαρας εδεχθησαν ημας οι αδελφοι.

And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

Την δε ακολουθον ημεραν υπηγεν ο Παυλος μεθ ημων προς τον Ιακωβον, και ηλθον παντες οι πρεσβυτεροι.

And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

Και ασπασθεις αυτους, διηγειτο καθ εν εκαστον οσα εκαμεν ο Θεος μεταξυ των εθνων δια της διακονιας αυτου.

And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

Εκεινοι 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.

And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

Εμαθον 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.

What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.

Τι ειναι λοιπον; μελλει βεβαιως να συναχθη πληθος διοτι θελουσιν ακουσει οτι ηλθες.

Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

Καμε λοιπον τουτο, το οποιον σοι λεγομεν Ευρισκονται παρ ημιν τεσσαρες ανδρες, οιτινες εχουσιν ευχην εφ εαυτων

Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

παραλαβε 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.

As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

Περι 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.

Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

Τοτε 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.

And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

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,

Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

κραζοντες 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

(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

διοτι ειχον ιδει προλαβοντως Τροφιμον τον Εφεσιον μετ αυτου εν τη πολει, τον οποιον ενομιζον οτι ο Παυλος εισηγαγεν εις το ιερον.

And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

Και εκινηθη η πολις ολη και εγεινε συρροη του λαου, και πιασαντες τον Παυλον εσυρον αυτον εξω του ιερου, και ευθυς εκλεισθησαν αι θυραι.

And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

Ενω δε εζητουν να θανατωσωσιν αυτον, ανεβη η φημη εις τον χιλιαρχον του ταγματος, οτι ολη η Ιερουσαλημ ειναι τεταραγμενη

Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

οστις παραλαβων ευθυς στρατιωτας και εκατονταρχους, εδραμε κατω προς αυτους. Οι δε ιδοντες τον χιλιαρχον και τους στρατιωτας, επαυσαν να τυπτωσι τον Παυλον.

Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

Τοτε πλησιασας ο χιλιαρχος, επιασεν αυτον και προσεταξε να δεθη με δυο αλυσεις, και ηρωτα τις ητο και τι ειχε πραξει.

And 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.

Και 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.

And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

Οτε δε εφθασεν εις τας βαθμιδας, συνεβη να βασταζηται υπο των στρατιωτων δια την βιαν του οχλου

For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

επειδη το πληθος του λαου ηκολουθει, κραζον Σηκωσον αυτον.

And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

Ενω 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;

Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

δεν εισαι συ ταχα ο Αιγυπτιος, ο προ των ημερων τουτων διεγειρας εις αποστασιαν και εκβαλων εις την ερημον τους τετρακισχιλιους ανδρας φονεις;

But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

Και 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.

And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

Και 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
