ἐν Δαμασκῷ ὁ ἐθνάρχης Ἁρέτα τοῦ βασιλέως ἐφρούρει τὴν Δαμασκηνῶν πόλιν πιάσαι με θέλων·
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept with a garrison, the city of the Damascenes desirous to apprehend me:
αἰτούμενοι χάριν κατ' αὐτοῦ ὅπως μεταπέμψηται αὐτὸν εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ ἐνέδραν ποιοῦντες ἀνελεῖν αὐτὸν κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν
And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
ποιήσας τε μῆνας τρεῖς· γενομένης αὐτῷ ἐπιβουλῆς ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων μέλλοντι ἀνάγεσθαι εἰς τὴν Συρίαν ἐγένετο γνώμῃ τοῦ ὑποστρέφειν διὰ Μακεδονίας
And there abode three months. And when for the Jews laid wait him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
δουλεύων τῷ κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πολλῶν δακρύων καὶ πειρασμῶν τῶν συμβάντων μοι ἐν ταῖς ἐπιβουλαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων
Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
צוֹפֶה רָשָׁע לַצַּדִּיק וּמְבַקֵּשׁ לַהֲמִיתוֹ׃
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
כִּי-נָטוּ עָלֶיךָ רָעָה חָֽשְׁבוּ מְזִמָּה בַּל-יוּכָֽלוּ׃
For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
εἰ μὲν γὰρ ἀδικῶ καὶ ἄξιον θανάτου πέπραχά τι οὐ παραιτοῦμαι τὸ ἀποθανεῖν· εἰ δὲ οὐδέν ἐστιν ὧν οὗτοι κατηγοροῦσίν μου οὐδείς με δύναται αὐτοῖς χαρίσασθαι· Καίσαρα ἐπικαλοῦμαι
For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
καὶ παῤῥησιαζόμενος ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ ἐλάλει τε καὶ συνεζήτει πρὸς τοὺς Ἑλληνιστάς οἱ δὲ ἐπεχείρουν αὐτόν ἀνελεῖν
And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
Γενομένης δὲ ἡμέρας ποιήσαντες τινες τῶν Ἰουδαίων συστροφὴν ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντες μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πίειν ἕως οὗ ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸν Παῦλον
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound under a curse, themselves saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
ὡς δὲ ἐγένετο ὁρμὴ τῶν ἐθνῶν τε καὶ Ἰουδαίων σὺν τοῖς ἄρχουσιν αὐτῶν ὑβρίσαι καὶ λιθοβολῆσαι αὐτούς
And when there was made an assault both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use despitefully, them and to stone them,
Οἱ δὲ ἀδελφοὶ εὐθέως διὰ τῆς νυκτὸς ἐξέπεμψαν τόν τε Παῦλον καὶ τὸν Σιλᾶν εἰς Βέροιαν οἵτινες παραγενόμενοι εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἀπῄεσαν
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
μηνυθείσης δέ μοι ἐπιβουλῆς εἰς τὸν ἄνδρα μελλείν ἔσεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐξαυτῆς ἔπεμψα πρὸς σέ παραγγείλας καὶ τοῖς κατηγόροις λέγειν τὰ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σοῦ Ἔῤῥωσο
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
לַֽעַזָּתִים׀ לֵאמֹר בָּא שִׁמְשׁוֹן הֵנָּה וַיָּסֹבּוּ וַיֶּֽאֶרְבוּ-לוֹ כָל-הַלַּיְלָה בְּשַׁעַר הָעִיר וַיִּתְחָֽרְשׁוּ כָל-הַלַּיְלָה לֵאמֹר עַד-אוֹר הַבֹּקֶר וַֽהֲרַגְנֻֽהוּ׃
And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed in, him and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
