Hechos 21
Bible Darby
1Et quand, nous étant arrachés d’auprès d’eux, nous avons mis à la voile, voguant en droite ligne, nous sommes arrivés à Cos, et le jour suivant à Rhodes, et de là à Patara.
2Et ayant trouvé un navire qui passait en Phénicie, nous y sommes montés et avons mis à la voile.
3Et ayant découvert Chypre, et l’ayant laissée à gauche, nous avons vogué vers la Syrie et nous avons abordé à Tyr ; car c’était là que le navire devait décharger sa cargaison.
4Et ayant trouvé les disciples, nous y sommes demeurés sept jours. Et ils dirent à Paul, par l’Esprit, de ne pas monter à Jérusalem.
5Mais ayant accompli ces jours, nous sommes partis et nous nous sommes mis en chemin ; et tous nous accompagnèrent avec femmes et enfants jusque hors de la ville ; et nous étant mis à genoux sur le rivage, nous avons prié.
6Et après nous être embrassés les uns les autres, nous sommes montés sur le navire ; et ils s’en retournèrent chez eux.
7Et quant à nous, achevant notre navigation, nous sommes arrivés de Tyr à Ptolémaïs ; et ayant salué les frères, nous sommes demeurés un jour auprès d’eux.
8Et le lendemain, étant partis, nous sommes venus à Césarée ; et étant entrés dans la maison de Philippe l’évangéliste qui était [l’un] des sept, nous sommes demeurés chez lui.
9Or il avait quatre filles vierges qui prophétisaient.
10Et comme nous nous sommes arrêtés là plusieurs jours, un prophète nommé Agabus descendit de la Judée ;
11et étant venu auprès de nous et ayant pris la ceinture de Paul, et s’étant lié les pieds et les mains, il dit : L’Esprit Saint dit ces choses : L’homme à qui est cette ceinture, les Juifs à Jérusalem le lieront ainsi et le livreront entre les mains des nations.
12Et quand nous avons entendu ces choses, nous et ceux qui étaient du lieu, nous l’avons supplié de ne pas monter à Jérusalem.
13Mais Paul répondit : Que faites-vous en pleurant et en brisant mon cœur ? Car pour moi, je suis prêt, non seulement à être lié, mais encore à mourir à Jérusalem pour le nom du seigneur Jésus.
14Et comme il ne se laissait pas persuader, nous nous sommes tus, disant : La volonté du Seigneur soit faite !
15Et après ces jours, ayant rassemblé nos effets, nous sommes montés à Jérusalem.
16Et quelques-uns aussi des disciples de Césarée vinrent avec nous, amenant un certain Mnason, Cypriote, un ancien disciple, chez qui nous devions loger.
17Et quand nous sommes arrivés à Jérusalem, les frères nous reçurent avec joie.
18Et, le jour suivant, Paul entra avec nous chez Jacques, et tous les anciens y vinrent.
19Et après qu’il les eut embrassés, il raconta une à une les choses que Dieu avait faites parmi les nations par son service.
20Et eux, l’ayant entendu, glorifièrent Dieu et dirent à Paul : Tu vois, frère, combien il y a de milliers de Juifs qui ont cru ; et ils sont tous zélés pour la loi.
21Or ils ont entendu dire de toi, que tu enseignes à tous les Juifs qui sont parmi les nations de renoncer à Moïse, disant qu’ils ne doivent pas circoncire leurs enfants, ni vivre selon les coutumes.
22Qu’est-ce donc ? Il faut absolument que la multitude s’assemble, car ils entendront dire que tu es arrivé.
23Fais donc ce que nous te disons : Nous avons quatre hommes qui ont fait un vœu ;
24prends-les et purifie-toi avec eux, et paie leur dépense, afin qu’ils se rasent la tête, et tous sauront que rien n’est [vrai] des choses qu’ils ont entendu dire de toi, mais que toi aussi, tu marches gardant la loi.
25Mais à l’égard de ceux des nations qui ont cru, nous [en] avons écrit, ayant décidé qu’ils n’ont rien de semblable à observer, si ce n’est qu’ils se gardent et de ce qui est sacrifié aux idoles, et du sang, et de ce qui est étouffé, et de la fornication.
26Alors Paul, ayant pris les hommes avec lui, et, le jour suivant, s’étant purifié, entra avec eux au temple, annonçant quand seraient accomplis les jours de leur purification, l’époque à laquelle l’offrande aurait été présentée pour chacun d’eux.
27Et comme les sept jours allaient s’accomplir, les Juifs d’Asie l’ayant vu dans le temple, soulevèrent toute la foule et mirent les mains sur lui,
28s’écriant : Hommes israélites, aidez-nous ! C’est ici l’homme qui partout enseigne tout le monde contre le peuple, et la loi, et ce lieu ; et qui de plus a aussi amené des Grecs dans le temple et a profané ce saint lieu.
29Car ils avaient vu auparavant dans la ville Trophime l’Éphésien avec lui, et ils croyaient que Paul l’avait amené dans le temple.
30Et toute la ville fut en émoi, et il se fit un rassemblement du peuple ; et ayant saisi Paul, ils le traînèrent hors du temple ; et aussitôt les portes furent fermées.
31Et comme ils cherchaient à le tuer, le bruit vint au chiliarque de la cohorte, que tout Jérusalem était en confusion ;
32et aussitôt il prit des soldats et des centurions, et courut à eux ; mais eux, voyant le chiliarque et les soldats, cessèrent de battre Paul.
33Alors le chiliarque s’étant approché, se saisit de lui et donna l’ordre de le lier de deux chaînes, et demanda qui il était et ce qu’il avait fait.
34Mais les uns criaient une chose, les autres une autre, dans la foule ; et n’en pouvant apprendre quelque chose de certain, à cause du tumulte, il donna ordre que Paul soit mené dans la forteresse.
35Et quand il fut sur les degrés, il arriva qu’il fut porté par les soldats à cause de la violence de la foule ;
36car la multitude du peuple suivait, en criant : Ôte-le !
37Et comme on allait faire entrer Paul dans la forteresse, il dit au chiliarque : M’est-il permis de te dire quelque chose ? Et il dit : Tu sais le grec ?
38N’es-tu donc pas l’Égyptien qui, ces jours passés, a excité une sédition et emmené au désert les 4 000 hommes des assassins ?
39Et Paul dit : Je suis Juif, de Tarse, citoyen d’une ville de la Cilicie qui n’est pas sans renom ; je te prie, permets-moi de parler au peuple.
40Et quand il le lui eut permis, Paul, se tenant sur les degrés, fit signe de la main au peuple, et un grand silence s’étant fait, il leur parla en langue hébraïque, disant :
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y HABIENDO partido de ellos, navegamos y vinimos camino derecho á Coos, y al día siguiente á Rhodas, y de allí á Pátara.
2Y hallando un barco que pasaba á Fenicia, nos embarcamos, y partimos.
3Y como avistamos á Cipro, dejándola á mano izquierda, navegamos á Siria, y vinimos á Tiro: porque el barco había de descargar allí su carga.
4Y nos quedamos allí siete días, hallados los discípulos, los cuales decían á Pablo por Espíritu, que no subiese á Jerusalem.
5Y cumplidos aquellos días, salimos acompañándonos todos, con sus mujeres é hijos, hasta fuera de la ciudad; y puestos de rodillas en la ribera, oramos.
6Y abrazándonos los unos á los otros, subimos al barco, y ellos se volvieron á sus casas.
7Y nosotros, cumplida la navegación, vinimos de Tiro á Tolemaida; y habiendo saludado á los hermanos, nos quedamos con ellos un día.
8Y otro día, partidos Pablo y los que con él estábamos, vinimos á Cesarea: y entrando en casa de Felipe el evangelista, el cual era uno de los siete, posamos con él.
9Y éste tenía cuatro hijas, doncellas, que profetizaban.
10Y parando nosotros allí por muchos días, descendió de Judea un profeta, llamado Agabo;
11Y venido á nosotros, tomó el cinto de Pablo, y atándose los pies y las manos, dijo: Esto dice el Espíritu Santo: Así atarán los Judíos en Jerusalem al varón cuyo es este cinto, y le entregarán en manos de los Gentiles.
12Lo cual como oímos, le rogamos nosotros y los de aquel lugar, que no subiese á Jerusalem.
13Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis llorando y afligiéndome el corazón? porque yo no sólo estoy presto á ser atado, mas aun á morir en Jerusalem por el nombre del Señor Jesús.
14Y como no le pudimos persuadir, desistimos, diciendo: Hágase la voluntad del Señor.
15Y después de estos días, apercibidos, subimos á Jerusalem.
16Y vinieron también con nosotros de Cesarea algunos de los discípulos, trayendo consigo á un Mnasón, Cyprio, discípulo antiguo, con el cual posásemos.
17Y cuando llegamos á Jerusalem, los hermanos nos recibieron de buena voluntad.
18Y al día siguiente Pablo entró con nosotros á Jacobo, y todos los ancianos se juntaron;
19A los cuales, como los hubo saludado, contó por menudo lo que Dios había hecho entre los Gentiles por su ministerio.
20Y ellos como lo oyeron, glorificaron á Dios, y le dijeron: Ya ves, hermano, cuántos millares de Judíos hay que han creído; y todos son celadores de la ley:
21Mas fueron informados acerca de ti, que enseñas á apartarse de Moisés á todos los Judíos que están entre los Gentiles, diciéndoles que no han de circuncidar á los hijos, ni andar según la costumbre.
22¿Qué hay pues? La multitud se reunirá de cierto: porque oirán que has venido.
23Haz pues esto que te decimos: Hay entre nosotros cuatro hombres que tienen voto sobre sí:
24Tomando á éstos contigo, purifícate con ellos, y gasta con ellos, para que rasuren sus cabezas, y todos entiendan que no hay nada de lo que fueron informados acerca de ti; sino que tú también andas guardando la ley.
25Empero cuanto á los que de los Gentiles han creído, nosotros hemos escrito haberse acordado que no guarden nada de esto; solamente que se abstengan de lo que fuere sacrificado á los ídolos, y de sangre, y de ahogado, y de fornicación.
26Entonces Pablo tomó consigo aquellos hombres, y al día siguiente, habiéndose purificado con ellos, entró en el templo, para anunciar el cumplimiento de los días de la purificación, hasta ser ofrecida ofrenda por cada uno de ellos.
27Y cuando estaban para acabarse los siete días, unos Judíos de Asia, como le vieron en el templo, alborotaron todo el pueblo y le echaron mano,
28Dando voces: Varones Israelitas, ayudad: Este es el hombre que por todas partes enseña á todos contra el pueblo, y la ley, y este lugar; y además de esto ha metido Gentiles en el templo, y ha contaminado este lugar santo.
29Porque antes habían visto con él en la ciudad á Trófimo, Efesio, al cual pensaban que Pablo había metido en el templo.
30Así que, toda la ciudad se alborotó, y agolpóse el pueblo; y tomando á Pablo, hiciéronle salir fuera del templo, y luego las puertas fueron cerradas.
31Y procurando ellos matarle, fué dado aviso al tribuno de la compañía, que toda la ciudad de Jerusalem estaba alborotada;
32El cual tomando luego soldados y centuriones, corrió á ellos. Y ellos como vieron al tribuno y á los soldados, cesaron de herir á Pablo.
33Entonces llegando el tribuno, le prendió, y le mandó atar con dos cadenas; y preguntó quién era, y qué había hecho.
34Y entre la multitud, unos gritaban una cosa, y otros otra: y como no podía entender nada de cierto á causa del alboroto, le mandó llevar á la fortaleza.
35Y como llegó á las gradas, aconteció que fué llevado de los soldados á causa de la violencia del pueblo;
36Porque multitud de pueblo venía detrás, gritando: Mátale.
37Y como comenzaron á meter á Pablo en la fortaleza, dice al tribuno: ¿Me será lícito hablarte algo? Y él dijo: ¿Sabes griego?
38¿No eres tú aquel Egipcio que levantaste una sedición antes de estos días, y sacaste al desierto cuatro mil hombres salteadores?
39Entonces dijo Pablo: Yo de cierto soy hombre Judío, ciudadano de Tarso, ciudad no obscura de Cilicia: empero ruégote que me permitas que hable al pueblo.
40Y como él se lo permitió, Pablo, estando en pie en las gradas, hizo señal con la mano al pueblo. Y hecho grande silencio, habló en lengua hebrea, diciendo:
King James Version
1And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
7And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
8And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
27And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
28Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
30And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
31And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
33Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
36For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
37And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
38Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
39But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
40And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
World English Bible
1When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
4Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
22What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.
25But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
26Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
28crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
29For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
38Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
39But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
