1 Et cum evasissemus, tunc cognovimus quia Melita in sula vocatur.	1 And after we had escaped, we then realized that the island was called Malta. Yet truly, the natives offered us no small amount of humane treatment.
2 Barbari vero praestabant non modicam humanitatem nobis; accensa enim pyra,suscipiebant nos omnes propter imbrem, qui imminebat, et frigus.	2 For they refreshed us all by kindling a fire, because rain was imminent and because of the cold.
3 Cumcongregasset autem Paulus sarmentorum aliquantam multitudinem et imposuissetsuper ignem, vipera, a calore cum processisset, invasit manum eius.	3 But when Paul had gathered together a bundle of twigs, and had placed them on the fire, a viper, which had been drawn to the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
4 Ut veroviderunt barbari pendentem bestiam de manu eius, ad invicem dicebant: “ Utiquehomicida est homo hic, qui cum evaserit de mari, Ultio non permisit vivere ”.	4 And truly, when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another: “Certainly, this man must be a murderer, for though he escaped from the sea, vengeance will not permit him to live.”
5 Et ille quidem excutiens bestiam in ignem, nihil mali passus est;	5 But shaking off the creature into the fire, he indeed suffered no ill effects.
6 at illiexspectabant eum in tumorem convertendum aut subito casurum et mori. Diu autemillis exspectantibus et videntibus nihil mali in eo fieri, convertentes sedicebant eum esse deum.	6 But they were supposing that he would soon swell up, and then would suddenly fall down and die. But having waited a long time, and seeing no ill effects in him, they changed their minds and were saying that he was a god.
7 In locis autem illis erant praedia principis insulae nomine Publii, qui nossuscipiens triduo benigne hospitio recepit.	7 Now among these places were estates owned by the ruler of the island, named Publius. And he, taking us in, showed us kind hospitality for three days.
8 Contigit autem patrem Publiifebribus et dysenteria vexatum iacere, ad quem Paulus intravit et, cum orassetet imposuisset ei manus, sanavit eum.	8 Then it happened that the father of Publius lay ill with a fever and with dysentery. Paul entered to him, and when he had prayed and had laid his hands on him, he saved him.
9 Quo facto, et ceteri, qui in insulahabebant infirmitates, accedebant et curabantur;	9 When this had been done, all who had diseases on the island approached and were cured.
10 qui etiam multis honoribusnos honoraverunt et navigantibus imposuerunt, quae necessaria erant.	10 And then they also presented us with many honors. And when we were ready to set sail, they gave us whatever we needed.
11 Post menses autem tres, navigavimus in navi Alexandrina, quae in insulahiemaverat, cui erat insigne Castorum.	11 And so, after three months, we sailed in a ship from Alexandria, whose name was ‘the Castors,’ and which had wintered at the island.
12 Et cum venissemus Syracusam, mansimusibi triduo;	12 And when we had arrived at Syracuse, we were delayed there for three days.
13 inde solventes devenimus Rhegium. Et post unum diem,superveniente austro, secunda die venimus Puteolos,	13 From there, sailing close to the shore, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, with the south wind blowing, we arrived on the second day at Puteoli.
14 ubi, inventis fratribus,rogati sumus manere apud eos dies septem; et sic venimus Romam.	14 There, after locating the brothers, we were asked to remain with them for seven days. And then we went on to Rome.
15 Et inde cumaudissent de nobis fratres, occurrerunt nobis usque ad Appii Forum et TresTabernas; quos cum vidisset Paulus, gratias agens Deo, accepit fiduciam.	15 And there, when the brothers had heard of us, they went to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. And when Paul had seen them, giving thanks to God, he took courage.
16 Cum introissemus autem Romam, permissum est Paulo manere sibimet cumcustodiente se milite.	16 And when we had arrived at Rome, Paul was given permission to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
17 Factum est autem, ut post tertium diem convocaretprimos Iudaeorum; cumque convenissent dicebat eis: “ Ego, viri fratres, nihiladversus plebem faciens aut mores paternos, vinctus ab Hierosolymis traditus sumin manus Romanorum,	17 And after the third day, he called together the leaders of the Jews. And when they had convened, he said to them: “Noble brothers, I have done nothing against the people, nor against the customs of the fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent, volebantdimittere, eo quod nulla causa esset mortis in me;	18 And after they held a hearing about me, they would have released me, because there was no case for death against me.
19 contradicentibus autemIudaeis, coactus sum appellare Caesarem, non quasi gentem meam habens aliquidaccusare.	19 But with the Jews speaking against me, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, though it was not as if I had any kind of accusation against my own nation.
20 Propter hanc igitur causam rogavi vos videre et alloqui; propterspem enim Israel catena hac circumdatus sum ”.	20 And so, because of this, I requested to see you and to speak to you. For it is because of the hope of Israel that I am encircled with this chain.”
21 At illi dixerunt ad eum: “Nos neque litteras accepimus de te a Iudaea, neque adveniens aliquis fratrumnuntiavit aut locutus est quid de te malum.	21 But they said to him: “We have not received letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the other new arrivals among the brothers reported or spoken anything evil against you.
22 Rogamus autem a te audire quaesentis; nam de secta hac notum est nobis quia ubique ei contradicitur ”.	22 But we are asking to hear your opinions from you, for concerning this sect, we know that it is being spoken against everywhere.”
23 Cum constituissent autem illi diem, venerunt ad eum in hospitium plures,quibus exponebat testificans regnum Dei suadensque eos de Iesu ex Lege Moysis etProphetis a mane usque ad vesperam.	23 And when they had appointed a day for him, very many persons went to him at his guest quarters. And he discoursed, testifying to the kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, using the law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 Et quidam credebant his, quae dicebantur,quidam vero non credebant;	24 And some believed the things that he was saying, yet others did not believe.
25 cumque invicem non essent consentientes,discedebant, dicente Paulo unum verbum: “ Bene Spiritus Sanctus locutus estper Isaiam prophetam ad patres vestros	25 And when they could not agree among themselves, they departed, while Paul was speaking this one word: “How well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers through the prophet Isaiah,
26 dicens: “Vade ad populum istum et dic: Auditu audietis et non intellegetis, et videntes videbitis et non perspicietis.	26 saying: ‘Go to this people and say to them: Hearing, you shall hear and not understand, and seeing, you shall see and not perceive.
27 Incrassatum est enim cor populi huius, et auribus graviter audierunt et oculos suos compresserunt, ne forte videant oculis et auribus audiant et corde intellegant et convertantur, et sanabo illos”.	27 For the heart of this people has grown dull, and they have listened with reluctant ears, and they have closed their eyes tightly, lest perhaps they might see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and so be converted, and I would heal them.’
28 Notum ergo sit vobis quoniam gentibus missum est hoc salutare Dei; ipsi etaudient! ”.	28 Therefore, let it be known to you, that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they shall listen to it.”
29	29 And when he had said these things, the Jews went away from him, though they still had many questions among themselves.
30 Mansit autem biennio toto in suo conducto; et suscipiebatomnes, qui ingrediebantur ad eum,	30 Then he remained for two whole years in his own rented lodgings. And he received all who went in to him,
31 praedicans regnum Dei et docens quae suntde Domino Iesu Christo cum omni fiducia sine prohibitione.	31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which are from the Lord Jesus Christ, with all faithfulness, without prohibition.
