World English Bible
1και διασωθεντεσ τοτε επεγνωσαν οτι μελιτη η νησοσ καλειται
1When we had escaped, then they 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 natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire and received us all, because of the present rain and because of the cold.
3συστρεψαντοσ δε του παυλου φρυγανων πληθοσ και επιθεντοσ επι την πυραν εχιδνα εκ τησ θερμησ διεξελθουσα καθηψεν τησ χειροσ αυτου
3But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on 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 natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”
5ο μεν ουν αποτιναξασ το θηριον εισ το πυρ επαθεν ουδεν κακον
5However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
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
6But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds and said that 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
7Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us 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 lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9τουτου ουν γενομενου και οι λοιποι οι εχοντεσ ασθενειασ εν τη νησω προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο
9Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
10οι και πολλαισ τιμαισ ετιμησαν ημασ και αναγομενοισ επεθεντο τα προσ την χρειαν
10They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11μετα δε τρεισ μηνασ ηχθημεν εν πλοιω παρακεχειμακοτι εν τη νησω αλεξανδρινω παρασημω διοσκουροισ
11After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
12και καταχθεντεσ εισ συρακουσασ επεμειναμεν ημερασ τρεισ
12Touching 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 circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14ου ευροντεσ αδελφουσ παρεκληθημεν επ αυτοισ επιμειναι ημερασ επτα και ουτωσ εισ την ρωμην ηλθομεν
14where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. 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
15From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
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 entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded 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 Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18οιτινεσ ανακριναντεσ με εβουλοντο απολυσαι δια το μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου υπαρχειν εν εμοι
18who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19αντιλεγοντων δε των ιουδαιων ηναγκασθην επικαλεσασθαι καισαρα ουχ ωσ του εθνουσ μου εχων τι κατηγορησαι
19But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20δια ταυτην ουν την αιτιαν παρεκαλεσα υμασ ιδειν και προσλαλησαι ενεκεν γαρ τησ ελπιδοσ του ισραηλ την αλυσιν ταυτην περικειμαι
20For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel 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
21They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
22αξιουμεν δε παρα σου ακουσαι α φρονεισ περι μεν γαρ τησ αιρεσεωσ ταυτησ γνωστον εστιν ημιν οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται
22But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.”
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
23When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.
24και οι μεν επειθοντο τοισ λεγομενοισ οι δε ηπιστουν
24Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
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
25When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
26λεγον πορευθητι προσ τον λαον τουτον και ειπον ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε και βλεποντεσ βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε
26saying, ‘Go to this people and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
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. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, then I would heal them.’
28γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν οτι τοισ εθνεσιν απεσταλη το σωτηριον του θεου αυτοι και ακουσονται
28“Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
29και ταυτα αυτου ειποντοσ απηλθον οι ιουδαιοι πολλην εχοντεσ εν εαυτοισ συζητησιν
29When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30εμεινεν δε ο παυλοσ διετιαν ολην εν ιδιω μισθωματι και απεδεχετο παντασ τουσ εισπορευομενουσ προσ αυτον
30Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
31κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασησ παρρησιασ ακωλυτωσ
31preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
