Acts 28

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

Και αφου διεσωθησαν, τοτε εγνωρισαν οτι η νησος ονομαζεται Μελιτη.

And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

Οι δε βαρβαροι εδειξαν εις ημας ου την τυχουσαν φιλανθρωπιαν διοτι αναψαντες πυραν, υπεδεχθησαν παντας ημας δια την επικειμενην βροχην και δια το ψυχος.

And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

Οτε δε ο Παυλος, συσσωρευσας πληθος φρυγανων, εβαλεν επι την πυραν, εχιδνα εξελθουσα εκ της θερμοτητος προσεκολληθη εις την χειρα αυτου.

And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

Ως δε ειδον οι βαρβαροι το θηριον κρεμαμενον εκ της χειρος αυτου, ελεγον προς αλληλους Βεβαιως φονευς ειναι ο ανθρωπος ουτος, τον οποιον διασωθεντα εκ της θαλασσης η θεια δικη δεν αφηκε να ζη.

And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

Και αυτος μεν απετιναξε το θηριον εις το πυρ και δεν επαθεν ουδεν κακον

Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

εκεινοι δε επροσμενον οτι εμελλε να πρησθη η εξαιφνης να πεση κατω νεκρος. Αφου ομως επροσμενον πολλην ωραν και εβλεπον οτι ουδεν κακον εγινετο εις αυτον, μεταβαλοντες στοχασμον ελεγον οτι ειναι Θεος.

In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

Εις τα περιξ δε του τοπου εκεινου ησαν κτηματα του πρωτου της νησου ονομαζομενου Ποπλιου, οστις αναδεχθεις ημας, εξενισε φιλοφρονως τρεις ημερας.

And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

Συνεβη δε να ηναι κατακειτος ο πατηρ του Ποπλιου, πασχων πυρετον και δυσεντεριαν προς τον οποιον εισελθων ο Παυλος και προσευχηθεις, επεθεσεν επ αυτον τας χειρας και ιατρευσεν αυτον.

So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

Τουτου λοιπον γενομενου και οι λοιποι, οσοι ειχον ασθενειας εν τη νησω, προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο

Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

οιτινες και με τιμας πολλας ετιμησαν ημας και οτε εμελλομεν να αναχωρησωμεν, εφωδιασαν με τα χρειωδη.

And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

Μετα δε τρεις μηνας απεπλευσαμεν επι πλοιου Αλεξανδρινου, με σημαιαν των Διοσκουρων, το οποιον ειχε παραχειμασει εν τη νησω,

And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

και φθασαντες εις τας Συρακουσας, εμειναμεν τρεις ημερας

And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

εκειθεν δε περιπλευσαντες κατηντησαμεν εις Ρηγιον, και μετα μιαν ημεραν, πνευσαντος νοτου, την δευτεραν ημεραν ηλθομεν εις Ποτιολους

Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

οπου ευροντες αδελφους, παρεκαλεσθημεν να μεινωμεν παρ αυτοις επτα ημερας, και ουτως ηλθομεν εις την Ρωμην.

And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

Εκειθεν δε ακουσαντες οι αδελφοι τα περι ημων, εξηλθον εις απαντησιν ημων εως του Αππιου Φορου και των Τριων Ταβερνων, τους οποιους ιδων ο Παυλος, ηυχαριστησε τον Θεον και ελαβε θαρρος.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

Οτε δε ηλθομεν εις Ρωμην, ο εκατονταρχος παρεδωκε τους δεσμιους εις τον στρατοπεδαρχην εις τον Παυλον ομως συνεχωρηθη να μενη καθ εαυτον μετα του στρατιωτου, οστις εφυλαττεν αυτον.

And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

Μετα δε τρεις ημερας συνεκαλεσεν ο Παυλος τους οντας των Ιουδαιων πρωτους και αφου συνηλθον, ελεγε προς αυτους Ανδρες αδελφοι, εγω ουδεν εναντιον πραξας εις τον λαον η εις τα εθιμα τα πατρωα, παρεδοθην εξ Ιεροσολυμων δεσμιος εις τας χειρας των Ρωμαιων

Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

οιτινες αφου με ανεκριναν, ηθελον να με απολυσωσι, διοτι ουδεμια αιτια θανατου υπηρχεν εν εμοι.

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

Επειδη δε αντελεγον οι Ιουδαιοι, ηναγκασθην να επικαλεσθω τον Καισαρα, ουχι ως εχων να κατηγορησω κατα τι το εθνος μου.

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

Δια ταυτην λοιπον την αιτιαν σας εκαλεσα, δια να σας ιδω και ομιλησω διοτι ενεκα της ελπιδος του Ισραηλ φορω ταυτην την αλυσιν.

And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον ημεις ουτε γραμματα ελαβομεν περι σου απο της Ιουδαιας, ουτε ελθων τις εκ των αδελφων απηγγειλεν η ελαλησε τι κακον περι σου.

But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

Επιθυμουμεν δε να ακουσωμεν παρα σου τι φρονεις διοτι περι της αιρεσεως ταυτης ειναι γνωστον εις ημας οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

Και αφου διωρισαν εις αυτον ημεραν, ηλθον προς αυτον πολλοι εις το καταλυμα, εις τους οποιους εξεθεσε δια μαρτυριων την βασιλειαν του Θεου και επειθεν αυτους εις τα περι του Ιησου απο τε του νομου του Μωυσεως και των προφητων απο πρω εως εσπερας.

And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

Και αλλοι μεν επειθοντο εις τα λεγομενα, αλλοι δε ηπιστουν.

And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

Ασυμφωνοι δε οντες προς αλληλους ανεχωρουν, αφου ο Παυλος ειπεν ενα λογον, οτι καλως ελαλησε το Πνευμα το Αγιον προς τους πατερας ημων δια Ησαιου του προφητου,

Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

λεγον Υπαγε προς τον λαον τουτον και ειπε Με την ακοην θελετε ακουσει και δεν θελετε εννοησει, και βλεποντες θελετε ιδει και δεν θελετε καταλαβει

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

διοτι επαχυνθη η καρδια του λαου τουτου, και με τα ωτα βαρεως ηκουσαν και τους οφθαλμους αυτων εκλεισαν, μηποτε ιδωσι με τους οφθαλμους και ακουσωσι με τα ωτα και νοησωσι με την καρδιαν και επιστρεψωσι, και ιατρευσω αυτους.

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

Γνωστον λοιπον εστω εις εσας οτι εις τα εθνη απεσταλη το σωτηριον του Θεου, αυτοι και θελουσιν ακουσει.

And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

Και αφου ειπε ταυτα ανεχωρησαν οι Ιουδαιοι εχοντες πολλην συζητησιν προς αλληλους.

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

Εμεινε δε ο Παυλος δυο ολοκληρα ετη εν ιδιαιτερα μισθωτη οικια και εδεχετο παντας τους ερχομενους προς αυτον,

Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

κηρυττων την βασιλειαν του Θεου και διδασκων μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως τα περι του Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.
