Berean Standard Bible
1και διασωθεντεσ τοτε επεγνωσαν οτι μελιτη η νησοσ καλειται
1Once we were safely ashore, we learned that the island was called Malta.
2οι δε βαρβαροι παρειχον ου την τυχουσαν φιλανθρωπιαν ημιν αναψαντεσ γαρ πυραν προσελαβοντο παντασ ημασ δια τον υετον τον εφεστωτα και δια το ψυχοσ
2The islanders showed us extraordinary kindness. They kindled a fire and welcomed all of us because it was raining and cold.
3συστρεψαντοσ δε του παυλου φρυγανων πληθοσ και επιθεντοσ επι την πυραν εχιδνα εκ τησ θερμησ διεξελθουσα καθηψεν τησ χειροσ αυτου
3Paul gathered a bundle of sticks, and as he laid them on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
4ωσ δε ειδον οι βαρβαροι κρεμαμενον το θηριον εκ τησ χειροσ αυτου ελεγον προσ αλληλουσ παντωσ φονευσ εστιν ο ανθρωποσ ουτοσ ον διασωθεντα εκ τησ θαλασσησ η δικη ζην ουκ ειασεν
4When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Although he was saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”
5ο μεν ουν αποτιναξασ το θηριον εισ το πυρ επαθεν ουδεν κακον
5But Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
6οι δε προσεδοκων αυτον μελλειν πιμπρασθαι η καταπιπτειν αφνω νεκρον επι πολυ δε αυτων προσδοκωντων και θεωρουντων μηδεν ατοπον εισ αυτον γινομενον μεταβαλλομενοι ελεγον θεον αυτον ειναι
6The islanders were expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
7εν δε τοισ περι τον τοπον εκεινον υπηρχεν χωρια τω πρωτω τησ νησου ονοματι ποπλιω οσ αναδεξαμενοσ ημασ τρεισ ημερασ φιλοφρονωσ εξενισεν
7Nearby stood an estate belonging to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.
8εγενετο δε τον πατερα του ποπλιου πυρετοισ και δυσεντερια συνεχομενον κατακεισθαι προσ ον ο παυλοσ εισελθων και προσευξαμενοσ επιθεισ τασ χειρασ αυτω ιασατο αυτον
8The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man.
9τουτου ουν γενομενου και οι λοιποι οι εχοντεσ ασθενειασ εν τη νησω προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο
9After this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured as well.
10οι και πολλαισ τιμαισ ετιμησαν ημασ και αναγομενοισ επεθεντο τα προσ την χρειαν
10The islanders honored us in many ways and supplied our needs when we were ready to sail.
11μετα δε τρεισ μηνασ ηχθημεν εν πλοιω παρακεχειμακοτι εν τη νησω αλεξανδρινω παρασημω διοσκουροισ
11After three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island. It had the Twin Brothers as a figurehead.
12και καταχθεντεσ εισ συρακουσασ επεμειναμεν ημερασ τρεισ
12Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13οθεν περιελθοντεσ κατηντησαμεν εισ ρηγιον και μετα μιαν ημεραν επιγενομενου νοτου δευτεραιοι ηλθομεν εισ ποτιολουσ
13From there we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at Puteoli.
14ου ευροντεσ αδελφουσ παρεκληθημεν επ αυτοισ επιμειναι ημερασ επτα και ουτωσ εισ την ρωμην ηλθομεν
14There we found some brothers who invited us to spend the week with them. And so we came to Rome.
15κακειθεν οι αδελφοι ακουσαντεσ τα περι ημων εξηλθον εισ απαντησιν ημιν αχρι αππιου φορου και τριων ταβερνων ουσ ιδων ο παυλοσ ευχαριστησασ τω θεω ελαβεν θαρσοσ
15The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to God.
16οτε δε ηλθομεν εισ ρωμην ο εκατονταρχοσ παρεδωκεν τουσ δεσμιουσ τω στρατοπεδαρχη τω δε παυλω επετραπη μενειν καθ εαυτον συν τω φυλασσοντι αυτον στρατιωτη
16When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
17εγενετο δε μετα ημερασ τρεισ συγκαλεσασθαι τον παυλον τουσ οντασ των ιουδαιων πρωτουσ συνελθοντων δε αυτων ελεγεν προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ αδελφοι εγω ουδεν εναντιον ποιησασ τω λαω η τοισ εθεσιν τοισ πατρωοισ δεσμιοσ εξ ιεροσολυμων παρεδοθην εισ τασ χειρασ των ρωμαιων
17After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
18οιτινεσ ανακριναντεσ με εβουλοντο απολυσαι δια το μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου υπαρχειν εν εμοι
18They examined me and wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.
19αντιλεγοντων δε των ιουδαιων ηναγκασθην επικαλεσασθαι καισαρα ουχ ωσ του εθνουσ μου εχων τι κατηγορησαι
19But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.
20δια ταυτην ουν την αιτιαν παρεκαλεσα υμασ ιδειν και προσλαλησαι ενεκεν γαρ τησ ελπιδοσ του ισραηλ την αλυσιν ταυτην περικειμαι
20So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
21οι δε προσ αυτον ειπον ημεισ ουτε γραμματα περι σου εδεξαμεθα απο τησ ιουδαιασ ουτε παραγενομενοσ τισ των αδελφων απηγγειλεν η ελαλησεν τι περι σου πονηρον
21The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.
22αξιουμεν δε παρα σου ακουσαι α φρονεισ περι μεν γαρ τησ αιρεσεωσ ταυτησ γνωστον εστιν ημιν οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται
22But we consider your views worth hearing, because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect.”
23ταξαμενοι δε αυτω ημεραν ηκον προσ αυτον εισ την ξενιαν πλειονεσ οισ εξετιθετο διαμαρτυρομενοσ την βασιλειαν του θεου πειθων τε αυτουσ τα περι του ιησου απο τε του νομου μωυσεωσ και των προφητων απο πρωι εωσ εσπερασ
23So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
24και οι μεν επειθοντο τοισ λεγομενοισ οι δε ηπιστουν
24Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others refused to believe.
25ασυμφωνοι δε οντεσ προσ αλληλουσ απελυοντο ειποντοσ του παυλου ρημα εν οτι καλωσ το πνευμα το αγιον ελαλησεν δια ησαιου του προφητου προσ τουσ πατερασ ημων
25They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit was right when He spoke to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:
26λεγον πορευθητι προσ τον λαον τουτον και ειπον ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε και βλεποντεσ βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε
26‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
27επαχυνθη γαρ η καρδια του λαου τουτου και τοισ ωσιν βαρεωσ ηκουσαν και τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτων εκαμμυσαν μηποτε ιδωσιν τοισ οφθαλμοισ και τοισ ωσιν ακουσωσιν και τη καρδια συνωσιν και επιστρεψωσιν και ιασομαι αυτουσ
27For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
28γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν οτι τοισ εθνεσιν απεσταλη το σωτηριον του θεου αυτοι και ακουσονται
28Be advised, therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
29και ταυτα αυτου ειποντοσ απηλθον οι ιουδαιοι πολλην εχοντεσ εν εαυτοισ συζητησιν
no verse 29 in this text
30εμεινεν δε ο παυλοσ διετιαν ολην εν ιδιω μισθωματι και απεδεχετο παντασ τουσ εισπορευομενουσ προσ αυτον
30Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him.
31κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασησ παρρησιασ ακωλυτωσ
31Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
