1Postquam autem cessavit tumultus, vocatis Paulus discipulis, et exhortatus eos, valedixit, et profectus est ut iret in Macedoniam.
1After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
2Cum autem perambulasset partes illas, et exhortatus eos fuisset multo sermone, venit ad Græciam:
2When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
3ubi cum fecisset menses tres, factæ sunt illi insidiæ a Judæis navigaturo in Syriam: habuitque consilium ut reverteretur per Macedoniam.
3When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
4Comitatus est autem eum Sopater Pyrrhi Berœensis, Thessalonicensium vero Aristarchus, et Secundus, et Gajus Derbeus, et Timotheus: Asiani vero Tychicus et Trophimus.
4These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
5Hi cum præcessissent, sustinuerunt nos Troade:
5But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
6nos vero navigavimus post dies azymorum a Philippis, et venimus ad eos Troadem in diebus quinque, ubi demorati sumus diebus septem.
6We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.
7Una autem sabbati cum convenissemus ad frangendum panem, Paulus disputabat cum eis profecturus in crastinum, protraxitque sermonem usque in mediam noctem.
7On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.
8Erant autem lampades copiosæ in cœnaculo, ubi eramus congregati.
8There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.
9Sedens 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.
9A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.
10Ad quem cum descendisset Paulus, incubuit super eum: et complexus dixit: Nolite turbari, anima enim ipsius in ipso est.
10Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”
11Ascendens autem, frangensque panem, et gustans, satisque allocutus usque in lucem, sic profectus est.
11When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
12Adduxerunt autem puerum viventem, et consolati sunt non minime.
12They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
13Nos autem ascendentes navem, navigavimus in Asson, inde suscepturi Paulum: sic enim disposuerat ipse per terram iter facturus.
13But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.
14Cum autem convenisset nos in Asson, assumpto eo, venimus Mitylenen.
14When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.
15Et inde navigantes, sequenti die venimus contra Chium, et alia applicuimus Samum, et sequenti die venimus Miletum.
15Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.
16Proposuerat enim Paulus transnavigare Ephesum, ne qua mora illi fieret in Asia. Festinabat enim, si possibile sibi esset, ut diem Pentecostes faceret Jerosolymis.
16For 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 in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17A Mileto autem mittens Ephesum, vocavit majores natu ecclesiæ.
17From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.
18Qui 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,
18When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
19serviens Domino cum omni humilitate, et lacrimis, et tentationibus, quæ mihi acciderunt ex insidiis Judæorum:
19serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20quomodo nihil subtraxerim utilium, quominus annuntiarem vobis et docerem vos, publice et per domos,
20how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
21testificans Judæis atque gentilibus in Deum pœnitentiam, et fidem in Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum.
21testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
22Et nunc ecce alligatus ego spiritu, vado in Jerusalem: quæ in ea ventura sint mihi, ignorans:
22Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
23nisi quod Spiritus Sanctus per omnes civitates mihi protestatur, dicens quoniam vincula et tribulationes Jerosolymis me manent.
23except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
24Sed 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.
24But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
25Et nunc ecce ego scio quia amplius non videbitis faciem meam vos omnes, per quos transivi prædicans regnum Dei.
25“Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.
26Quapropter contestor vos hodierna die, quia mundus sum a sanguine omnium.
26Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,
27Non enim subterfugi, quominus annuntiarem omne consilium Dei vobis.
27for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28Attendite vobis, et universo gregi, in quo vos Spiritus Sanctus posuit episcopos regere ecclesiam Dei, quam acquisivit sanguine suo.
28Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.
29Ego scio quoniam intrabunt post discessionem meam lupi rapaces in vos, non parcentes gregi.
29For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30Et ex vobisipsis exsurgent viri loquentes perversa, ut abducant discipulos post se.
30Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31Propter quod vigilate, memoria retinentes quoniam per triennium nocte et die non cessavi, cum lacrimis monens unumquemque vestrum.
31Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
32Et nunc commendo vos Deo, et verbo gratiæ ipsius, qui potens est ædificare, et dare hæreditatem in sanctificatis omnibus.
32Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33Argentum, et aurum, aut vestem nullius concupivi, sicut
33I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.
34ipsi scitis: quoniam ad ea quæ mihi opus erant, et his qui mecum sunt, ministraverunt manus istæ.
34You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
35Omnia ostendi vobis, quoniam sic laborantes, oportet suscipere infirmos ac meminisse verbi Domini Jesu: quoniam ipse dixit: Beatius est magis dare, quam accipere.
35In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36Et cum hæc dixisset, positis genibus suis oravit cum omnibus illis.
36When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37Magnus autem fletus factus est omnium: et procumbentes super collum Pauli, osculabantur eum,
37They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,
38dolentes maxime in verbo quod dixerat, quoniam amplius faciem ejus non essent visuri. Et deducebant eum ad navem.
38sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
