2 et cum invenissemus navemtransfretantem in Phoenicen, ascendentes navigavimus.	2 Finding a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went on board and put out to sea.
3 Cum paruissemus autemCypro, et relinquentes eam ad sinistram navigabamus in Syriam et venimus Tyrum,ibi enim navis erat expositura onus.	3 We caught sight of Cyprus but passed by it on our left and sailed on toward Syria and put in at Tyre where the ship was to unload cargo.
4 Inventis autem discipulis, mansimus ibidiebus septem; qui Paulo dicebant per Spiritum, ne iret Hierosolymam.	4 There we sought out the disciples and stayed for a week. They kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to embark for Jerusalem.
5 Etexplicitis diebus, profecti ibamus, deducentibus nos omnibus cum uxoribus etfiliis usque foras civitatem; et positis genibus in litore orantes,	5 At the end of our stay we left and resumed our journey. All of them, women and children included, escorted us out of the city, and after kneeling on the beach to pray,
6 valefecimus invicem et ascendimus in navem; illi autem redierunt in sua.	6 we bade farewell to one another. Then we boarded the ship, and they returned home.
7 Nosvero, navigatione explicita, a Tyro devenimus Ptolemaida et, salutatisfratribus, mansimus die una apud illos.	7 We continued the voyage and came from Tyre to Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed a day with them.

10 Et cum moraremur plures dies, supervenitquidam a Iudaea propheta nomine Agabus;	10 We had been there several days when a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 is cum venisset ad nos et tulissetzonam Pauli, alligans sibi pedes et manus dixit: “ Haec dicit SpiritusSanctus: Virum, cuius est zona haec, sic alligabunt in Ierusalem Iudaei ettradent in manus gentium ”.	11 He came up to us, took Paul's belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, "Thus says the holy Spirit: This is the way the Jews will bind the owner of this belt in Jerusalem, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles."
12 Quod cum audissemus, rogabamus nos et, qui lociillius erant, ne ipse ascenderet Ierusalem.	12 When we heard this, we and the local residents begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Tunc respondit Paulus: “ Quidfacitis flentes et affligentes cor meum? Ego enim non solum alligari sed et moriin Ierusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Iesu ”.	13 Then Paul replied, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am prepared not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14 Et cum ei suadere nonpossemus, quievimus dicentes: “ Domini voluntas fiat! ”.	14 Since he would not be dissuaded we let the matter rest, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
15 Post dies autem istos praeparati ascendebamus Hierosolymam;	15 After these days we made preparations for our journey, then went up to Jerusalem.

19 Quos cum salutasset, narrabat per singula, quae fecisset Deus ingentibus per ministerium ipsius.	19 He greeted them, then proceeded to tell them in detail what God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 At illi cum audissent, glorificabant Deumdixeruntque ei: “ Vides, frater, quot milia sint in Iudaeis, qui crediderunt,et omnes aemulatores sunt legis;	20 They praised God when they heard it but said to him, "Brother, you see how many thousands of believers there are from among the Jews, and they are all zealous observers of the law.
21 audierunt autem de te quia discessionemdoceas a Moyse omnes, qui per gentes sunt, Iudaeos, dicens non deberecircumcidere eos filios suos neque secundum consuetudines ambulare.	21 They have been informed that you are teaching all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to abandon Moses and that you are telling them not to circumcise their children or to observe their customary practices.
22 Quid ergoest? Utique audient te supervenisse.	22 What is to be done? They will surely hear that you have arrived.
23 Hoc ergo fac, quod tibi dicimus. Suntnobis viri quattuor votum habentes super se;	23 So do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 his assumptis, sanctifica te cumillis et impende pro illis, ut radant capita, et scient omnes quia, quae de teaudierunt, nihil sunt, sed ambulas et ipse custodiens legem.	24 Take these men and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses that they may have their heads shaved. In this way everyone will know that there is nothing to the reports they have been given about you but that you yourself live in observance of the law.
25 De his autem,qui crediderunt, gentibus nos scripsimus iudicantes, ut abstineant ab idolothytoet sanguine et suffocato et fornicatione ”.	25 As for the Gentiles who have come to believe, we sent them our decision that they abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from unlawful marriage."
26 Tunc Paulus, assumptis viris, postera die purificatus cum illis intravit intemplum annuntians expletionem dierum purificationis, donec offerretur prounoquoque eorum oblatio.	26 So Paul took the men, and on the next day after purifying himself together with them entered the temple to give notice of the day when the purification would be completed and the offering made for each of them.
27 Dum autem septem dies consummarentur, hi, qui de Asia erant, Iudaei cumvidissent eum in templo, concitaverunt omnem turbam et iniecerunt ei manus	27 When the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from the province of Asia noticed him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him,
28 clamantes: “ Viri Israelitae, adiuvate! Hic est homo, qui adversus populum etlegem et locum hunc omnes ubique docens, insuper et Graecos induxit in templumet polluit sanctum locum istum ”.	28 shouting, "Fellow Israelites, help us. This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and the law and this place, and what is more, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this sacred place."
29 Viderant enim Trophimum Ephesium incivitate cum ipso, quem aestimabant quoniam in templum induxisset Paulus.	29 For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him and supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Commotaque est civitas tota, et facta est concursio populi, et apprehendentesPaulum trahebant eum extra templum, et statim clausae sunt ianuae.	30 The whole city was in turmoil with people rushing together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the gates were closed.
31 Quaerentibus autem eum occidere, nuntiatum est tribuno cohortis quia totaconfunditur Ierusalem,	31 While they were trying to kill him, a report reached the cohort commander that all Jerusalem was rioting.
32 qui statim, assumptis militibus et centurionibus,decucurrit ad illos; qui cum vidissent tribunum et milites, cessaveruntpercutere Paulum.	32 He immediately took soldiers and centurions and charged down on them. When they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
33 Tunc accedens tribunus apprehendit eum et iussit alligaricatenis duabus et interrogabat quis esset et quid fecisset.	33 The cohort commander came forward, arrested him, and ordered him to be secured with two chains; he tried to find out who he might be and what he had done.
34 Alii autem aliudclamabant in turba; et cum non posset certum cognoscere prae tumultu, iussitduci eum in castra.	34 Some in the mob shouted one thing, others something else; so, since he was unable to ascertain the truth because of the uproar, he ordered Paul to be brought into the compound.
35 Et cum venisset ad gradus, contigit ut portaretur amilitibus propter vim turbae;	35 When he reached the steps, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob,
36 sequebatur enim multitudo populi clamantes: “Tolle eum! ”.	36 for a crowd of people followed and shouted, "Away with him!"
37 Et cum coepisset induci in castra, Paulus dicit tribuno: “ Si licet mihiloqui aliquid ad te? ”. Qui dixit: “ Graece nosti?	37 Just as Paul was about to be taken into the compound, he said to the cohort commander, "May I say something to you?" He replied, "Do you speak Greek?
38 Nonne tu es Aegyptius,qui ante hos dies tumultum concitasti et eduxisti in desertum quattuor miliavirorum sicariorum? ”.	38 So then you are not the Egyptian who started a revolt some time ago and led the four thousand assassins into the desert?"
39 Et dixit Paulus: “ Ego homo sum quidem Iudaeus aTarso Ciliciae, non ignotae civitatis municeps; rogo autem te, permitte mihiloqui ad populum ”.	39 Paul answered, "I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; I request you to permit me to speak to the people."
40 Et cum ille permisisset, Paulus stans in gradibusannuit manu ad plebem et, magno silentio facto, allocutus est Hebraea linguadicens:	40 When he had given his permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand to the people; and when all was quiet he addressed them in Hebrew.
