Acts of the Apostles 28

DOUAI-RHEIMS	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy.	1 וְכַאֲשֶׁר נִמְלַטְנוּ נוֹדַע לָנוּ כִּי־שֵׁם הָאִי מְלִיטִי
2 For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present rain, and of the cold.	2 וְהַנָּכְרִים לֹא הִמְעִיטוּ חַסְדָּם עִמָּנוּ כִּי־בִעֲרוּ אֵשׁ וַיַּאַסְפוּ אֶת־כֻּלָּנוּ אֲלֵיהֶם מִפְּנֵי הַגֶּשֶׁם הַיּוֹרֵד וּמִפְּנֵי הַקֹּר
3 And when Paul had gathered together a bundle of sticks, and had laid them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened on his hand.	3 וּפוֹלוֹס אָסַף לוֹ עֲרֵמַת קֹצִים וַיָּשֶׂם עַל־הַמּוֹקֵד וּמִן־הַחֹם יָצָא אֶפְעֶה וַיֹּאחֶז בְּיָדוֹ
4 And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live.	4 וַיִּרְאוּ הַנָּכְרִים אֶת־הַחַיָּה תְּלוּיָה עַל־יָדוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ אָכֵן רֹצֵחַ הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר הַנְּקָמָה לֹא־הִנִּיחָה לּוֹ לִחְיוֹת אַף כִּי־נִמְלַט מִן־הַיָּם
5 And he indeed shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm.	5 וְהוּא נִעֵר אֶת־הַחַיָּה מֵעַל יָדוֹ אֶל־תּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ וְלֹא־הֵרֵעָה לּוֹ מְאוּמָה
6 But they supposed that he would begin to swell up, and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long, and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said, that he was a god.	6 וְהֵם הוֹחִילוּ אֲשֶׁר יִצְבֶּה גוּפוֹ אוֹ־אֲשֶׁר יִפֹּל מֵת פִּתְאֹם וַיָּחִילוּ עַד־בּוֹשׁ וְהִנֵּה לֹא־קָרָהוּ כָל־אָסוֹן וַיֵּהָפֵךְ לִבָּם וַיֹּאמְרוּ כִּי אֱלֹהִים הוּא
7 Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who receiving us, for three days entertained us courteously.	7 וּבִסְבִיבֵי הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא הָיוּ שָׂדוֹת אֲשֶׁר לְרֹאשׁ אַנְשֵׁי הָאִי וּשְׁמוֹ פוֹבְלִיּוֹס הוּא הֵבִיא אֹתָנוּ לְבֵיתוֹ וַיְכַלְכֵּל אֹתָנוּ בְּטוּבוֹ שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים
8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in; and when he had prayed, and laid his hands on him, he healed him.	8 וַאֲבִי פוֹבְלִיּוֹס מוּטָל לְמִשְׁכָּב בַּקַּדַּחַת וּבְמַחֲלֵה הַמֵּעָיִם וַיָּבֹא אֵלָיו פּוֹלוֹס וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל וַיָּשֶׂם עָלָיו אֶת־יָדָיו וַיִּרְפָּאֵהוּ
9 Which being done, all that had diseases in the island, came and were healed:	9 וְאַחֲרֵי הַמַּעֲשֶׂה הַזֶּה בָּאוּ גַּם־הַחֹלִים הָאֲחֵרִים אֲשֶׁר בָּאִי וַיֵּרָפֵאוּ
10 Who also honoured us with many honours, and when we were to set sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary.	10 וַיְכַבְּדֻנוּ כָּבוֹד גָּדוֹל וּבְלֶכְתֵּנוּ מִשָּׁם סִפְּקוּ לָנוּ דֵּי צָרְכֵּנוּ
11 And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors.	11 וְאַחֲרֵי שְׁלשֶׁת חֳדָשִׁים עָבַרְנוּ מִשָּׁם בָּאֳנִיָּה אֲלֶכְסַנְדְּרִית אֲשֶׁר יָשְׁבָה בָאִי בִּימֵי הַסְּתָו וְאוֹת דִּגְלָהּ הַתְּאוֹמִים
12 And when we were come to Syracusa, we tarried there three days.	12 וַנָּבֹא אֶל־סַרְקוּסָא וַנֵּשֶׁב־שָׁם שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים
13 From thence, compassing by the shore, we came to Rhegium: and after one day, the south wind blowing, we came the second day to Puteoli;	13 מִשָּׁם סַבֹּנוּ וַנָּבֹא אֶל־רֶגְיוֹן וּבִנְשֹׁב רוּחַ דְּרוֹמִית בְּיוֹם הַמָּחֳרָת בָּאנוּ בַּיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִי אֶל־פּוֹטִיּוֹלִי
14 Where, finding brethren, we were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went to Rome.	14 וְשָׁם מָצָאנוּ אַחִים וַיְבַקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לָשֶׁבֶת אִתָּם שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וּבְכֵן הָלַכְנוּ אֶל־רוֹמִי
15 And from thence, when the brethren had heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and the Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God, and took courage.	15 וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ הָאַחִים אֶת־בּוֹאֵנוּ וַיֵּצְאוּ מִשָּׁם לִקְרָאתֵנוּ עַד לְשׁוּק אַפִּיּוֹס וְעַד לִשְׁלשֶׁת הַחֲנֻיּוֹת וַיַּרְא אֹתָם פּוֹלוֹס וַיּוֹדֶה לֵאלֹהִים וַיִּתְחַזָּק
16 And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him.	16 וְאַחַר בֹּאֵנוּ אֶל־רוֹמִי הֶעֱבִיר שַׂר הַמֵּאָה אֶת־הָאֲסִירִים אֶל־שַׂר הַצָּבָא וּלְפוֹלוֹס הִנִּיחוּ לָשֶׁבֶת לְבַדּוֹ עִם־אִישׁ הַצָּבָא הַשֹּׁמֵר אוֹתוֹ
17 And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people, or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;	17 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים וַיִּקְרָא פוֹלוֹס אֵלָיו אֶת־רָאשֵׁי הַיְּהוּדִים וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים אַף כִּי־לֹא מָעַלְתִּי מַעַל בְּעַמֵּנוּ וּבְחֻקּוֹת אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אֲסָרוּנִי בִירוּשָׁלַיִם וַיִּמְסְרוּנִי לִידֵי הָרוֹמִיִּים
18 Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me;	18 וְהֵם אַחֲרֵי חָקְרָם אֹתִי אָמְרוּ לְפָטְרֵנִי כִּי לֹא־נִמְצָא בִי מִשְׁפַּט־מָוֶת
19 But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had any thing to accuse my nation of.	19 וְהַיְּהוּדִים קָמוּ־בִי וָאֵאָנֵס לִקְרֹא אֶת־הַקֵּיסַר לְדִינִי אַךְ אֵין־נַפְשִׁי לִשְׂטוֹן אֶת־עַמִּי בְּדָבָר
20 For this cause therefore I desired to see you, and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.	20 וּבַעֲבוּר זֹאת קָרָאתִי לָכֶם לִרְאוֹתְכֶם וּלְדַבֵּר עִמָּכֶם כִּי בִּגְלַל תִּקְוַת יִשְׂרָאֵל אָסוּר אֲנִי בַּכֶּבֶל הַזֶּה
21 But they said to him: We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, neither did any of the brethren that came hither, relate or speak any evil of thee.	21 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו לֹא קִבַּלְנוּ עַל־אֹדוֹתֶיךָ אִגְּרוֹת מֵאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה וְלֹא־בָא הֵנָּה אֶחָד מִן־הָאַחִים אֲשֶׁר הִגִּיד אוֹ־דִבֶּר עָלֶיךָ דָּבָר רָע
22 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest; for as concerning this sect, we know that it is every where contradicted.	22 אָמְנָם חֲפֵצִים אֲנַחְנוּ לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶת־אֲשֶׁר בִּלְבָבֶךָ כִּי נוֹדַע לָנוּ אֲשֶׁר בְּכָל מָקוֹם יָרִיבוּ אֶל־הַכַּת הַזֹּאת
23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came very many to him unto his lodgings; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.	23 וַיָּשִׂימוּ לוֹ יוֹם מוּעָד וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו רַבִּים אֶל־מְלוֹנוֹ וַיָּעַד בָּהֶם וַיְבָאֵר אֶת־מַלְכוּת אֱלֹהִים וַיוֹכַח לָהֶם עִנְיְנֵי יֵשׁוּעַ מִתּוֹרַת משֶׁה וּמִן־הַנְּבִיאִים מִבֹּקֶר עַד־עָרֶב
24 And some believed the things that were said; but some believed not.	24 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ אֶל־דְּבָרָיו וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, Paul speaking this one word: Well did the Holy Ghost speak to our fathers by Isaias the prophet,	25 וַיֵּחָלְקוּ בְדַעְתָּם וַיָּסוּרוּ לָלֶכֶת לְדַרְכָּם בְּדַבֵּר פּוֹלוֹס הַדָּבָר הָאֶחָד הַזֶּה הֵיטֵב דִּבֶּר רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְּפִי יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר
26 Saying: Go to this people, and say to them: With the ear you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.	26 לֵךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ לָעָם הַזֶּה שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ וְאַל־תָּבִינוּ וּרְאוּ רָאוֹ וְאַל־תֵּדָעוּ
27 For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes they have shut; lest perhaps 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.	27 כִּי שָׁמֵן לֵב הָעָם הַזֶּה וְאָזְנָיו כָּבְדוּ וְאֶת־עֵינָיו הֵשַׁע פֶּן־יִרְאֶה בְעֵינָיו וּבְאָזְנָיו יִשְׁמַע וּלְבָבוֹ יָבִין וְשָׁב וּרְפָאתִיו
28 Be it known therefore to you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.	28 לָכֵן דְּעוּ כִּי לַגּוֹיִם נִשְׁלְחָה תְּשׁוּעַת אֱלֹהִים וְהֵמָּה יִשְׁמָעוּ
29 And when he had said these things, the Jews went out from him, having much reasoning among themselves.	29 וַיְהִי בְּדַבְּרוֹ זֹאת הָלְכוּ מֵאִתּוֹ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיִּתְוַכְּחוּ הַרְבֵּה אִישׁ עִם־רֵעֵהוּ
30 And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging; and he received all that came in to him,	30 וּפוֹלוֹס יָשַׁב שְׁנָתַיִם יָמִים בְּבֵיתוֹ אֲשֶׁר שָׂכַר־לוֹ וַיְקַבֵּל אֵת כָּל־הַבָּאִים אֵלָיו
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without prohibition.	31 וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיְלַמֵּד אֶת־דַּרְכֵי יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ בְּכָל־בִּטְחוֹן לִבּוֹ וְאֵין מֹנֵעַ
