Actuum Apostolorum 20
1 Postquam autem cessavit tumultus, vocatis Paulus discipulis, et exhortatus eos, valedixit, et profectus est ut iret in Macedoniam.
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul having sent for the disciples and exhorted them, took leave of them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
2 Cum autem perambulasset partes illas, et exhortatus eos fuisset multo sermone, venit ad Græciam:
And when he had gone through those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece.
3 ubi cum fecisset menses tres, factæ sunt illi insidiæ a Judæis navigaturo in Syriam: habuitque consilium ut reverteretur per Macedoniam.
And when he had spent three months [there], and a plot was laid against him by the Jews, as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
4 Comitatus est autem eum Sopater Pyrrhi Berœensis, Thessalonicensium vero Aristarchus, et Secundus, et Gajus Derbeus, et Timotheus: Asiani vero Tychicus et Trophimus.
And there accompanied him as far as Asia Sopater of Beroea, [the son] of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
5 Hi cum præcessissent, sustinuerunt nos Troade:
But these had gone before, and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 nos vero navigavimus post dies azymorum a Philippis, et venimus ad eos Troadem in diebus quinque, ubi demorati sumus diebus septem.
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we tarried seven days.
7 Una autem sabbati cum convenissemus ad frangendum panem, Paulus disputabat cum eis profecturus in crastinum, protraxitque sermonem usque in mediam noctem.
And upon the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul discoursed with them, intending to depart on the morrow; and prolonged his speech until midnight.
8 Erant autem lampades copiosæ in cœnaculo, ubi eramus congregati.
And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where we were gathered together.
9 Sedens autem quidam adolescens nomine Eutychus super fenestram, cum mergeretur somno gravi, disputante diu Paulo, ductus somno cecidit de tertio cœnaculo deorsum, et sublatus est mortuus.
And there sat in the window a certain young man named Eutychus, borne down with deep sleep; and as Paul discoursed yet longer, being borne down by his sleep he fell down from the third story, and was taken up dead.
10 Ad quem cum descendisset Paulus, incubuit super eum: et complexus dixit: Nolite turbari, anima enim ipsius in ipso est.
And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Make ye no ado; for his life is in him.
11 Ascendens autem, frangensque panem, et gustans, satisque allocutus usque in lucem, sic profectus est.
And when he was gone up, and had broken the bread, and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
12 Adduxerunt autem puerum viventem, et consolati sunt non minime.
And they brought the lad alive, and were not a little comforted.
13 Nos autem ascendentes navem, navigavimus in Asson, inde suscepturi Paulum: sic enim disposuerat ipse per terram iter facturus.
But we, going before to the ship, set sail for Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, intending himself to go by land.
14 Cum autem convenisset nos in Asson, assumpto eo, venimus Mitylenen.
And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
15 Et inde navigantes, sequenti die venimus contra Chium, et alia applicuimus Samum, et sequenti die venimus Miletum.
And sailing from thence, we came the following day over against Chios; and the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after we came to Miletus.
16 Proposuerat enim Paulus transnavigare Ephesum, ne qua mora illi fieret in Asia. Festinabat enim, si possibile sibi esset, ut diem Pentecostes faceret Jerosolymis.
For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
17 A Mileto autem mittens Ephesum, vocavit majores natu ecclesiæ.
And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the elders of the church.
18 Qui cum venissent ad eum, et simul essent, dixit eis: Vos scitis a prima die qua ingressus sum in Asiam, qualiter vobiscum per omne tempus fuerim,
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, after what manner I was with you all the time,
19 serviens Domino cum omni humilitate, et lacrimis, et tentationibus, quæ mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Judæorum:
serving the Lord with all lowliness of mind, and with tears, and with trials which befell me by the plots of the Jews:
20 quomodo nihil subtraxerim utilium, quominus annuntiarem vobis et docerem vos, publice et per domos,
how that I shrank not from declaring unto you anything that was profitable, and teaching you publicly, and from house to house,
21 testificans Judæis atque gentilibus in Deum pœnitentiam, et fidem in Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum.
testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
22 Et nunc ecce alligatus ego spiritu, vado in Jerusalem: quæ in ea ventura sint mihi, ignorans:
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
23 nisi quod Spiritus Sanctus per omnes civitates mihi protestatur, dicens quoniam vincula et tribulationes Jerosolymis me manent.
save that the Holy Ghost testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
24 Sed nihil horum vereor: nec facio animam meam pretiosiorem quam me, dummodo consummem cursum meum, et ministerium verbi quod accepi a Domino Jesu, testificari Evangelium gratiæ Dei.
But I hold not my life of any account, as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25 Et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam vos omnes, per quos transivi prædicans regnum Dei.
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I went about preaching the kingdom, shall see my face no more.
26 Quapropter contestor vos hodierna die, quia mundus sum a sanguine omnium.
Wherefore I testify unto you this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
27 Non enim subterfugi, quominus annuntiarem omne consilium Dei vobis.
For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.
28 Attendite vobis, et universo gregi, in quo vos Spiritus Sanctus posuit episcopos regere ecclesiam Dei, quam acquisivit sanguine suo.
Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in the which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.
29 Ego scio quoniam intrabunt post discessionem meam lupi rapaces in vos, non parcentes gregi.
I know that after my departing grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock;
30 Et ex vobisipsis exsurgent viri loquentes perversa, ut abducant discipulos post se.
and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Propter quod vigilate, memoria retinentes quoniam per triennium nocte et die non cessavi, cum lacrimis monens unumquemque vestrum.
Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.
32 Et nunc commendo vos Deo, et verbo gratiæ ipsius, qui potens est ædificare, et dare hæreditatem in sanctificatis omnibus.
And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up, and to give [you] the inheritance among all them that are sanctified.
33 Argentum, et aurum, aut vestem nullius concupivi, sicut
I coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.
34 ipsi scitis: quoniam ad ea quæ mihi opus erant, et his qui mecum sunt, ministraverunt manus istæ.
Ye yourselves know that these hands ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
35 Omnia ostendi vobis, quoniam sic laborantes, oportet suscipere infirmos ac meminisse verbi Domini Jesu: quoniam ipse dixit: Beatius est magis dare, quam accipere.
In all things I gave you an example, how that so labouring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
36 Et cum hæc dixisset, positis genibus suis oravit cum omnibus illis.
And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
37 Magnus autem fletus factus est omnium: et procumbentes super collum Pauli, osculabantur eum,
And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him,
38 dolentes maxime in verbo quod dixerat, quoniam amplius faciem ejus non essent visuri. Et deducebant eum ad navem.
Sorrowing most of all for the word which he had spoken, that they should behold his face no more. And they brought him on his way unto the ship.
