Atti degli Apostoli - Acts 19

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ενω δε ο Απολλως ητο εν Κορινθω, ο Παυλος αφου επερασε τα ανωτερικα μερη ηλθεν εις Εφεσον? και ευρων τινας μαθητας,	1 And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2 ειπε προς αυτους? Ελαβετε Πνευμα Αγιον αφου επιστευσατε; οι δε ειπον προς αυτον? Αλλ' ουδε αν υπαρχη Πνευμα Αγιον ηκουσαμεν.	2 And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
3 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Εις τι λοιπον εβαπτισθητε; Οι δε ειπον? Εις το βαπτισμα του Ιωαννου.	3 And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism.
4 Και ειπεν ο Παυλος? Ο Ιωαννης μεν εβαπτισε βαπτισμα μετανοιας, λεγων προς τον λαον να πιστευσωσιν εις τον ερχομενον μετ' αυτον, τουτεστιν εις τον Χριστον Ιησουν.	4 Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
5 Ακουσαντες δε εβαπτισθησαν εις το ονομα του Κυριου Ιησου.	5 Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 Και αφου ο Παυλος επεθηκεν επ' αυτων τας χειρας, ηλθε το Πνευμα το Αγιον επ' αυτους, και ελαλουν γλωσσας και προεφητευον.	6 And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
7 Ησαν δε παντες ουτοι ανδρες εως δωδεκα.	7 And all the men were about twelve.
8 Και εισελθων εις την συναγωγην ελαλει μετα παρρησιας, διαλεγομενος τρεις μηνας και πειθων εις τα περι της βασιλειας του Θεου.	8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
9 Επειδη ομως τινες εσκληρυνοντο και δεν επειθοντο, κακολογουντες την οδον του Κυριου ενωπιον του πληθους, απομακρυνθεις απ' αυτων, απεχωρισε τους μαθητας, διαλεγομενος καθ' ημεραν εν τω σχολειω τινος, οστις ελεγετο Τυραννος.	9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10 Εγεινε δε τουτο επι δυο ετη, ωστε παντες οι κατοικουντες την Ασιαν ηκουσαν τον λογον του Κυριου Ιησου, Ιουδαιοι τε και Ελληνες.	10 And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
11 Και ο Θεος εκαμνε δια των χειρων του Παυλου θαυματα μεγαλα,	11 And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
12 ωστε και επι τους ασθενεις εφεροντο απο του σωματος αυτου μανδηλια η περιζωματα και εφευγον απ' αυτων αι ασθενειαι, και τα πνευματα τα πονηρα εξηρχοντο απ' αυτων.	12 So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.
13 Και τινες απο των περιερχομενων εξορκιστων Ιουδαιων επεχειρησαν να προφερωσιν επι τους εχοντας τα πνευματα τα πονηρα το ονομα του Κυριου Ιησου, λεγοντες? Σας ορκιζομεν εις τον Ιησουν, τον οποιον ο Παυλος κηρυττει.	13 Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
14 Και οι πραττοντες τουτο ησαν επτα τινες υιοι Ιουδαιου αρχιερεως ονομαζομενου Σκευα.	14 And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.
15 Αποκριθεν δε το πνευμα το πονηρον, ειπε? Τον Ιησουν γνωριζω και τον Παυλον εξευρω? σεις δε τινες εισθε;	15 But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
16 Και πηδησας επ' αυτους ο ανθρωπος, εις τον οποιον ητο το πνευμα το πονηρον, και νικησας αυτους, ισχυσε κατ' αυτων, ωστε γυμνοι και τετραυματισμενοι εφυγον εκ του οικου εκεινου.	16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 Και τουτο εγεινε γνωστον εις παντας, Ιουδαιους τε και Ελληνας, τους κατοικουντας την Εφεσον, και επεπεσε φοβος επι παντας αυτους, και εμεγαλυνετο το ονομα του Κυριου Ιησου?	17 And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 και πολλοι των πιστευσαντων ηρχοντο εξομολογουμενοι και φανερονοντες τας πραξεις αυτων.	18 And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.
19 Πολλοι δε και εξ εκεινων, οιτινες εκαμνον τας μαγειας, φεροντες τα βιβλια αυτων κατεκαιον ενωπιον παντων? και αριθμησαντες τας τιμας αυτων, ευρον πεντηκοντα χιλιαδας αργυριου.	19 And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Ουτω κραταιως ηυξανε και ισχυεν ο λογος του Κυριου.	20 So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.
21 Ως δε ετελεσθησαν ταυτα, ο Παυλος απεφασισεν εν εαυτω, αφου διελθη την Μακεδονιαν και Αχαιαν, να υπαγη εις την Ιερουσαλημ, ειπων οτι αφου υπαγω εκει, πρεπει να ιδω και την Ρωμην.	21 And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
22 Και αποστειλας εις την Μακεδονιαν δυο των υπηρετουντων αυτον, Τιμοθεον και Εραστον, αυτος εμεινε καιρον τινα εν τη Ασια.	22 And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
23 Εγεινε δε κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον ταραχη ουκ ολιγη περι ταυτης της οδου.	23 Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.
24 Διοτι αργυροκοπος τις ονοματι Δημητριος, κατασκευαζων ναους αργυρους της Αρτεμιδος, επροξενει εις τους τεχνιτας ουκ ολιγον κερδος?	24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
25 τους οποιους συναθροισας και τους εργαζομενους τα τοιαυτα, ειπεν? Ανδρες, εξευρετε οτι εκ ταυτης της εργασιας προερχεται η ευπορια ημων,	25 Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;
26 και θεωρειτε και ακουετε οτι πολυν λαον ου μονον της Εφεσου, αλλα σχεδον πασης της Ασιας ο Παυλος ουτος επεισε και μετεβαλε, λεγων οτι δεν ειναι θεοι οι δια χειρων κατασκευαζομενοι.	26 And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.
27 Και ου μονον η τεχνη ημων αυτη κινδυνευει να εξουδενωθη, αλλα και το ιερον της μεγαλης θεας Αρτεμιδος να λογισθη εις ουδεν, και μελλει μαλιστα να καταστραφη η μεγαλειοτης αυτης, την οποιαν ολη η Ασια και η οικουμενη σεβεται.	27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
28 Ακουσαντες δε και εμπλησθεντες θυμου, εκραζον λεγοντες? Μεγαλη η Αρτεμις των Εφεσιων.	28 Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
29 Και η πολις ολη επλησθη ταραχης, και ωρμησαν ομοθυμαδον εις το θεατρον, αφου συνηρπασαν τον Γαιον και Αρισταρχον τους Μακεδονας, συνοδοιπορους του Παυλου.	29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
30 Ενω δε ο Παυλος ηθελε να εισελθη εις τον δημον, οι μαθηται δεν αφινον αυτον,	30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
31 τινες δε και εκ των Ασιαρχων, οντες φιλοι αυτου, εστειλαν προς αυτον και παρεκαλουν να μη εκτεθη εις το θεατρον.	31 And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
32 Αλλοι μεν λοιπον εκραζον αλλο τι και αλλοι αλλο? διοτι η συναξις ητο συγκεχυμενη, και οι πλειοτεροι δεν ηξευρον δια τι ειχον συναχθη.	32 Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.
33 Εκ δε του οχλου προηγαγον τον Αλεξανδρον, δια να λαληση, επειδη οι Ιουδαιοι επροβαλον αυτον? και ο Αλεξανδρος σεισας την χειρα ηθελε να απολογηθη προς τον δημον.	33 And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.
34 Αφου δε εγνωρισαν οτι ειναι Ιουδαιος, εγεινε μια φωνη εκ παντων των κραζοντων, εως δυο ωρας? Μεγαλη η Αρτεμις των Εφεσιων.	34 But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35 Καθησυχασας δε ο γραμματευς τον οχλον, λεγει? Ανδρες Εφεσιοι, και τις ανθρωπος ειναι οστις δεν εξευρει οτι η πολις των Εφεσιων ειναι λατρις της μεγαλης θεας Αρτεμιδος και του Διοπετους αγαλματος;	35 And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter's offspring.
36 Επειδη λοιπον ταυτα ειναι αναντιρρητα, πρεπει σεις να ησυχαζητε και να μη πραττητε μηδεν προπετες.	36 For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37 Διοτι εφερετε τους ανδρας τουτους, οιτινες ουτε ιεροσυλοι ειναι ουτε την θεαν σας βλασφημουσιν.	37 For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
38 Εαν μεν λοιπον ο Δημητριος και οι συντεχνιται αυτου εχωσι διαφοραν μετα τινος, υπαρχουσι δικασιμοι ημεραι και υπαρχουσιν ανθυπατοι, ας εγκαλεσωσιν αλληλους.	38 But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
39 Εαν δε ζητητε τι περι αλλων πραγματων, εν τη νομιμω συνελευσει θελει διαλυθη.	39 And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.
40 Διοτι κινδυνευομεν να κατηγορηθωμεν ως στασιασται δια την σημερινην ταραχην, χωρις να υπαρχη μηδεμια αιτια, δια της οποιας θελομεν δυνηθη να δικαιολογησωμεν τον θορυβον τουτον.	40 For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
41 Και ειπων ταυτα, απελυσε την συνελευσιν.
