ὑπὲρ οὗ πρεσβεύω ἐν ἁλύσει ἵνα ἐν αὐτῷ παῤῥησιάσωμαι ὡς δεῖ με λαλῆσαι
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
καὶ ἐλθὼν πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ἄρας τὴν ζώνην τοῦ Παύλου δήσας τε αὐτοῦ τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τοὺς πόδας εἶπεν Τάδε λέγει τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον Τὸν ἄνδρα οὗ ἐστιν ἡ ζώνη αὕτη οὕτως δήσουσιν ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ παραδώσουσιν εἰς χεῖρας ἐθνῶν
And 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.
Ὅτε δὲ ἔμελλεν αὐτὸν προάγειν ὁ Ἡρῴδης τῇ νυκτὶ ἐκείνῃ ἦν ὁ Πέτρος κοιμώμενος μεταξὺ δύο στρατιωτῶν δεδεμένος ἁλύσεσιν δυσίν φύλακές τε πρὸ τῆς θύρας ἐτήρουν τὴν φυλακήν
And when Herod would have brought forth, him the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
πλὴν ὅτι τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον κατὰ πόλιν διαμαρτύρεταί λέγον ὅτι δεσμὰ με καὶ θλίψεις μένουσιν
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
διὰ ταύτην οὖν τὴν αἰτίαν παρεκάλεσα ὑμᾶς ἰδεῖν καὶ προσλαλῆσαι ἕνεκεν γὰρ τῆς ἐλπίδος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ τὴν ἅλυσιν ταύτην περίκειμαι
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
εὐθέως οὖν ἀπέστησαν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ οἱ μέλλοντες αὐτὸν ἀνετάζειν καὶ ὁ χιλίαρχος δὲ ἐφοβήθη ἐπιγνοὺς ὅτι Ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν καὶ ὅτι ἦν αὐτὸν δεδεκώς
Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
ἐν ᾧ κακοπαθῶ μέχρι δεσμῶν ὡς κακοῦργος ἀλλ' ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ οὐ δέδεται·
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
ὁ δὲ Παῦλος εἰπεν Εὐξαίμην ἂν τῷ θεῷ καὶ ἐν ὀλίγῳ καὶ ἐν πολλῷ οὐ μόνον σὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀκούοντάς μου σήμερον γενέσθαι τοιούτους ὁποῖος κἀγώ εἰμι παρεκτὸς τῶν δεσμῶν τούτων
And Paul said, I would that to God, not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ-לָהּ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים שִׁבְעָה יְתָרִים לַחִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-חֹרָבוּ וַתַּֽאַסְרֵהוּ בָּהֶֽם׃
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ Πιλᾶτος πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπεν Τίνα κατηγορίαν φέρετε κατὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου
Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ לֵאמֹר לֹא כִּֽי-אָסֹר נֶֽאֱסָרְךָ וּנְתַנּוּךָ בְיָדָם וְהָמֵת לֹא נְמִיתֶךָ וַיַּֽאַסְרֻהוּ בִּשְׁנַיִם עֲבֹתִים חֲדָשִׁים וַֽיַּעֲלוּהוּ מִן-הַסָּֽלַע׃
And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
πρὸς οὓς ἀπεκρίθην ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἔθος Ῥωμαίοις χαρίζεσθαί τινα ἄνθρωπον εἰς ἀπώλειαν πρὶν ἢ ὁ κατηγορούμενος κατὰ πρόσωπον ἔχοι τοὺς κατηγόρους τόπον τε ἀπολογίας λάβοι περὶ τοῦ ἐγκλήματος
To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face face, to and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
δῴη ἔλεος ὁ κύριος τῷ Ὀνησιφόρου οἴκῳ ὅτι πολλάκις με ἀνέψυξεν καὶ τὴν ἅλυσίν μου οὐκ ἐπῆσχύνθη
The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
ἐκέλευσεν αὐτὸν ὁ χιλίαρχος ἄγεσθαι εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν εἰπὼν μάστιξιν ἀνετάζεσθαι αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιγνῷ δι' ἣν αἰτίαν οὕτως ἐπεφώνουν αὐτῷ
The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
וַתִּקַּח דְּלִילָה עֲבֹתִים חֲדָשִׁים וַתַּֽאַסְרֵהוּ בָהֶם וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פְּלִשְׁתִּים עָלֶיךָ שִׁמְשׁוֹן וְהָֽאֹרֵב יֹשֵׁב בֶּחָדֶר וַֽיְנַתְּקֵם מֵעַל זְרֹֽעֹתָיו כַּחֽוּט׃
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
וַיֹּֽאחֲזוּהוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיְנַקְּרוּ אֶת-עֵינָיו וַיּוֹרִידוּ אוֹתוֹ עַזָּתָה וַיַּֽאַסְרוּהוּ בַּֽנְחֻשְׁתַּיִם וַיְהִי טוֹחֵן בְּבֵית (האסירים) הָאֲסוּרִֽים׃
But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
