Actus Apostolorum

Et cum evasissemus, tunc cognovimus quia Melita insula vocabatur. Barbari vero præstabant non modicam humanitatem nobis.

And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy.

Et cum evade, tunc cognosce quia Melita insula voca. Barbaros vero praesta non modico humanitate ad nos.

Accensa enim pyra, reficiebant nos omnes propter imbrem qui imminebat, et frigus.

For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present rain and of the cold.

Accende nam pyra, reficie nos omni propter imbre qui immine, et frigore.

Cum congregasset autem Paulus sarmentorum aliquantam multitudinem, et imposuisset super ignem, vipera a calore cum processisset, invasit manum ejus.

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.

Cum Paulo autem congrega de sarmentos aliquanto multitudine, et impone super igni, vipera ab calore cum procede, invade manu de illo.

Ut vero viderunt barbari pendentem bestiam de manu ejus, ad invicem dicebant: Utique homicida est homo hic, qui cum evaserit de mari, ultio non sinit eum vivere.

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.

Ut vero barbaros vide pende bestia de manu de illo, ad invicem dic: utique homicida es homine hoc, qui cum evade de mari, ultione non sine illo vive.

Et ille quidem excutiens bestiam in ignem, nihil mali passus est.

And he indeed, shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm.

Et illo quidem excute bestia in igni, nihil de malo passo es.

At illi existimabant eum in tumorem convertendum, et subito casurum et mori. Diu autem illis exspectantibus, et videntibus nihil mali in eo fieri, convertentes se, dicebant eum esse deum.

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.

Sed illo existima illo in tumore converte, et subito cade et more. Diu autem ad illos expecta, et vide nihil de malo in eo fieri, converte se, dic illo es deo.

In locis autem illis erant prædia principis insulæ, nomine Publii, qui nos suscipiens, triduo benigne exhibuit.

Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius: who, receiving us for three days, entertained us courteously.

In locos autem ad illos es praedios de principe de insula, nomine de Publio, qui nos suscipe, triduo benigne exhibe.

Contigit autem patrem Publii febribus et dysenteria vexatum jacere. Ad quem Paulus intravit: et cum orasset, et imposuisset ei manus, salvavit eum.

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.

Continge autem patre de Publio febris et dysenteria vexa iace. Ad quem Paulo intra: et cum ora, et impone ad illo manus, salva illo.

Quo facto, omnes qui in insula habebant infirmitates, accedebant, et curabantur:

Which being done, all that had diseases in the island came and were healed.

Quo fac, omni qui in insula habe infirmitates, accede, et cura:

qui etiam multis honoribus nos honoraverunt, et navigantibus imposuerunt quæ necessaria erant.

Who also honoured us with many honours: and when we were to set sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

Qui etiam multo honores honora nos, et naviga impone que necessaria es.

Post menses autem tres navigavimus in navi Alexandrina, quæ in insula hiemaverat, cui erat insigne Castorum.

And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors.

Post menses autem tre naviga in navi Alexandrina, que in insula hiema, ad que es insigne de Castores.

Et cum venissemus Syracusam, mansimus ibi triduo.

And when we were come to Syracusa, we tarried there three days.

Et cum veni Syracusa, mane ibi triduo.

Inde circumlegentes devenimus Rhegium: et post unum diem, flante austro, secunda die venimus Puteolos:

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:

Inde circumlege deveni Rhegio: et post uno die, fla austro, secundo die veni Puteolis:

ubi inventis fratribus rogati sumus manere apud eos dies septem: et sic venimus Romam.

Where, finding brethren, we were desired to tarry with them seven days. And so we went to Rome.

Ubi inveni fratres roga es mane apud illos dies septeme: et sic veni Roma.

Et inde cum audissent fratres, occurrerunt nobis usque ad Appii forum, ac tres Tabernas. Quos cum vidisset Paulus, gratias agens Deo, accepit fiduciam.

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.

Et inde cum fratres audi, occurre ad nos usque ad Appio foro, et tre Taberna. Paulo cum vide que, gratias age ad Deo, accipe fiducia.

Cum autem venissemus Romam, permissum est Paulo manere sibimet cum custodiente se milite.

And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him.

Cum autem veni Roma, permitte es ad Paulo mane sibima cum custodi se milite.

Post tertium autem diem convocavit primos Judæorum. Cumque convenissent, dicebat eis: Ego, viri fratres, nihil adversus plebem faciens, aut morem paternum, vinctus ab Jerosolymis traditus sum in manus Romanorum,

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.

Post tertio autem die convoca primo de Iudaeos. Cumque conveni, dic ad illos: me, viros fratres, nihil contra plebe faciente, aut more paterna, vince ab Ierosolymas trade es in manus de Romanos,

qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent, voluerunt me dimittere, eo quod nulla esset causa mortis in me.

Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me.

Qui cum habe de me interrogatione, vol me dimitte, eo quod nullo es causa de morte in me.

Contradicentibus autem Judæis, coactus sum appellare Cæsarem, non quasi gentem meam habens aliquid accusare.

But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar: not that I had anything to accuse my nation of.

Contradice autem Iudaeos, coge es appella Caesare, non quasi gente meo habente aliquo accusa.

Propter hanc igitur causam rogavi vos videre, et alloqui. Propter spem enim Israël catena hac circumdatus sum.

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.

Propter hoc ergo causa roga vos videre, et alloquor. Propter spe nam Israële catena hoc circumda es.

At illi dixerunt ad eum: Nos neque litteras accepimus de te a Judæa, neque adveniens aliquis fratrum nuntiavit, aut locutus est quid de te malum.

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.

Sed illo dic ad illo: nos neque accipe litteras de te ab Iudaea, neque advenie aliquo de fratres nuntia, aut locuto es quid de te malo.

Rogamus autem a te audire quæ sentis: nam de secta hac notum est nobis quia ubique ei contradicitur.

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

Roga autem ab te audire que senti: nam de seca hoc noto es ad nos quia in omni loco ad illo contradice.

Cum constituissent autem illi diem, venerunt ad eum in hospitium plurimi, quibus exponebat testificans regnum Dei, suadensque eis de Jesu ex lege Moysi et prophetis a mane usque ad vesperam.

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.

Cum constitue autem illo die, veni ad illo in hospitio multo, ad que expone testificor regno de Deo, et suade ad illos de Iesu ex lege de Moysi et prophetas ab mane usque ad vespera.

Et quidam credebant his quæ dicebantur: quidam vero non credebant.

And some believed the things that were said: but some believed not.

Et uno crede ad hoc que dic: uno vero non crede.

Cumque invicem non essent consentientes, discedebant, dicente Paulo unum verbum: Quia bene Spiritus Sanctus locutus est per Isaiam prophetam ad patres nostros,

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,

Cumque invicem non es consentie, discede, dic Paulo uno verbo: quia bene Spiritu Sancto locuto es per Isaiase propheta ad patres nostro,

dicens: Vade ad populum istum, et dic ad eos: Aure audietis, et non intelligetis, et videntes videbitis, et non perspicietis.

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.

Dicente: vade ad populo isto, et dic ad illos: aure audi, et non intellege, et vide vide, et non perspicie.

Incrassatum est enim cor populi hujus, et auribus graviter audierunt, et oculos suos compresserunt: ne forte videant oculis, et auribus audiant, et corde intelligant, et convertantur, et sanem eos.

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.

Incrassa es nam corde de populo de hoc, et aures graviter audi, et oculos suo comprime: ne forte vide ad oculos, et ad aures audi, et corde intellege, et converte, et sana illos.

Notum ergo sit vobis, quoniam gentibus missum est hoc salutare Dei, et ipsi audient.

Be it known therefore to you that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles: and they will hear it.

Noto ergo es ad vos, quia ad gentes mitte es hoc salutare de Deo, et ipso audi.

Et cum hæc dixisset, exierunt ab eo Judæi, multam habentes inter se quæstionem.

And when he had said these things, the Jews went out from him, having much reasoning among themselves.

Et cum hoc dic, Iudaeos ab eo exi, multo habe inter se quaestione.

Mansit autem biennio toto in suo conducto: et suscipiebat omnes qui ingrediebantur ad eum,

And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging: and he received all that came in to him,

Mane autem biennio toto in suo conducto: et suscipe omni qui ingredior ad illo,

prædicans regnum Dei, et docens quæ sunt de Domino Jesu Christo cum omni fiducia, sine prohibitione.

Preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without prohibition.

Praedica regno de Deo, et doce que es de Domino Iesu Christo cum omni fiducia, sine prohibitione.
