1Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta.
1και διασωθεντες τοτε επεγνωμεν οτι {VAR1: μελιτηνη } {VAR2: μελιτη } η νησος καλειται
2The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.
2οι τε βαρβαροι παρειχον ου την τυχουσαν φιλανθρωπιαν ημιν αψαντες γαρ πυραν προσελαβοντο παντας ημας δια τον υετον τον εφεστωτα και δια το ψυχος
3Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand.
3συστρεψαντος δε του παυλου φρυγανων τι πληθος και επιθεντος επι την πυραν εχιδνα απο της θερμης εξελθουσα καθηψεν της χειρος αυτου
4When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, 'This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.'
4ως δε ειδον οι βαρβαροι κρεμαμενον το θηριον εκ της χειρος αυτου προς αλληλους ελεγον παντως φονευς εστιν ο ανθρωπος ουτος ον διασωθεντα εκ της θαλασσης η δικη ζην ουκ ειασεν
5But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
5ο μεν ουν αποτιναξας το θηριον εις το πυρ επαθεν ουδεν κακον
6The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead, but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
6οι δε προσεδοκων αυτον μελλειν πιμπρασθαι η καταπιπτειν αφνω νεκρον επι πολυ δε αυτων προσδοκωντων και θεωρουντων μηδεν ατοπον εις αυτον γινομενον μεταβαλομενοι ελεγον αυτον ειναι θεον
7There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and for three days entertained us hospitably.
7εν δε τοις περι τον τοπον εκεινον υπηρχεν χωρια τω πρωτω της νησου ονοματι ποπλιω ος αναδεξαμενος ημας {VAR1: ημερας τρεις } {VAR2: τρεις ημερας } φιλοφρονως εξενισεν
8His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.
8εγενετο δε τον πατερα του ποπλιου πυρετοις και δυσεντεριω συνεχομενον κατακεισθαι προς ον ο παυλος εισελθων και προσευξαμενος επιθεις τας χειρας αυτω ιασατο αυτον
9When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.
9τουτου δε γενομενου {VAR1: [και] } {VAR2: και } οι λοιποι οι εν τη νησω εχοντες ασθενειας προσηρχοντο και εθεραπευοντο
10They honored us in many ways and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed.
10οι και πολλαις τιμαις ετιμησαν ημας και αναγομενοις επεθεντο τα προς τας χρειας
11After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the island. It was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux.
11μετα δε τρεις μηνας ανηχθημεν εν πλοιω παρακεχειμακοτι εν τη νησω αλεξανδρινω παρασημω διοσκουροις
12We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days.
12και καταχθεντες εις συρακουσας επεμειναμεν ημερας τρεις
13From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli.
13οθεν περιελοντες κατηντησαμεν εις ρηγιον και μετα μιαν ημεραν επιγενομενου νοτου δευτεραιοι ηλθομεν εις ποτιολους
14There we found some brothers who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome.
14ου ευροντες αδελφους παρεκληθημεν παρ αυτοις επιμειναι ημερας επτα και ουτως εις την ρωμην ηλθαμεν
15The brothers there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these men Paul thanked God and was encouraged.
15κακειθεν οι αδελφοι ακουσαντες τα περι ημων ηλθαν εις απαντησιν ημιν αχρις αππιου φορου και τριων ταβερνων ους ιδων ο παυλος ευχαριστησας τω θεω ελαβεν θαρσος
16When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
16οτε δε εισηλθομεν εις ρωμην επετραπη τω παυλω μενειν καθ εαυτον συν τω φυλασσοντι αυτον στρατιωτη
17Three days later he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had assembled, Paul said to them: 'My brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or against the customs of our ancestors, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
17εγενετο δε μετα ημερας τρεις συγκαλεσασθαι αυτον τους οντας των ιουδαιων πρωτους συνελθοντων δε αυτων ελεγεν προς αυτους εγω ανδρες αδελφοι ουδεν εναντιον ποιησας τω λαω η τοις εθεσιν τοις πατρωοις δεσμιος εξ ιεροσολυμων παρεδοθην εις τας χειρας των ρωμαιων
18They examined me and wanted to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.
18οιτινες ανακριναντες με εβουλοντο απολυσαι δια το μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου υπαρχειν εν εμοι
19But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar-not that I had any charge to bring against my own people.
19αντιλεγοντων δε των ιουδαιων ηναγκασθην επικαλεσασθαι καισαρα ουχ ως του εθνους μου εχων τι κατηγορειν
20For this reason I have asked to see you and talk with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.'
20δια ταυτην ουν την αιτιαν παρεκαλεσα υμας ιδειν και προσλαλησαι ενεκεν γαρ της ελπιδος του ισραηλ την αλυσιν ταυτην περικειμαι
21They replied, 'We have not received any letters from Judea concerning you, and none of the brothers who have come from there has reported or said anything bad about you.
21οι δε προς αυτον ειπαν ημεις ουτε γραμματα περι σου εδεξαμεθα απο της ιουδαιας ουτε παραγενομενος τις των αδελφων απηγγειλεν η ελαλησεν τι περι σου πονηρον
22But we want to hear what your views are, for we know that people everywhere are talking against this sect.'
22αξιουμεν δε παρα σου ακουσαι α φρονεις περι μεν γαρ της αιρεσεως ταυτης γνωστον ημιν εστιν οτι πανταχου αντιλεγεται
23They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. From morning till evening he explained and declared to them the kingdom of God and tried to convince them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
23ταξαμενοι δε αυτω ημεραν ηλθον προς αυτον εις την ξενιαν πλειονες οις εξετιθετο διαμαρτυρομενος την βασιλειαν του θεου πειθων τε αυτους περι του ιησου απο τε του νομου μωυσεως και των προφητων απο πρωι εως εσπερας
24Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.
24και οι μεν επειθοντο τοις λεγομενοις οι δε ηπιστουν
25They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: 'The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your forefathers when he said through Isaiah the prophet:
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 υμων
26" 'Go to this people and say, "You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving."
26λεγων πορευθητι προς τον λαον τουτον και ειπον ακοη ακουσετε και ου μη συνητε και βλεποντες βλεψετε και ου μη ιδητε
27For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'
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
28"Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!"
28γνωστον ουν {VAR1: υμιν εστω } {VAR2: εστω υμιν } οτι τοις εθνεσιν απεσταλη τουτο το σωτηριον του θεου αυτοι και ακουσονται 28:29

30For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him.
30ενεμεινεν δε διετιαν ολην εν ιδιω μισθωματι και απεδεχετο παντας τους εισπορευομενους προς αυτον
31Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
31κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως
1우리는 육지에 무사히 오른 뒤에야 그 섬이 몰타 섬이라는 것을 알았습니다.
2비가 오고 매우 추웠습니다. 섬 사람들은 우리에게 분에 넘치는 친절을 베풀며 불을 피워 놓고 우리를 맞아 주었습니다.
3바울이 장작을 한 무더기 모아다가 불에 넣었는데, 뜨거운 불 때문에 독사가 튀어나와 바울의 손을 물었습니다.
4섬 사람들은 독사가 바울의 손에 매달려 있는 것을 보고 "이 사람은 틀림없이 살인자다. 바다에서는 살아 나왔는지 모르지만 '정의의 신'이 그를 살려 두지 않을 것이다"라며 서로 수군거렸습니다.
5그러나 바울은 그 뱀을 불 속에 떨어 버렸고, 아무런 해도 입지 않았습니다.
6사람들은 바울의 몸이 부어 오르거나 그가 갑자기 땅바닥에 쓰러져 죽으리라고 예상했습니다. 그런데 아무리 기다려도 바울에게 아무런 일이 일어나지 않자, 그들은 바울을 달리 생각하게 되었습니다. 그들은 바울을 신이라고 불렀습니다.
7그 근처에 그 섬의 추장인 보블리오가 땅을 소유하고 있었습니다. 그 사람이 우리를 자기 집으로 초대해서 삼 일 동안, 친절하게 대접해 주었습니다.
8때마침, 보블리오의 아버지가 열병과 이질에 걸려 자리에 누워 있었습니다. 바울이 그를 찾아가 기도하고 그 사람의 몸에 손을 얹어 그를 낫게 하였습니다.
9이 일이 있은 뒤에, 그 섬에서 병을 앓고 있는 다른 사람들도 바울을 찾아와 고침을 받았습니다.
10그 섬 사람들은 우리를 잘 대접해 주었습니다. 우리가 떠나려고 할 때, 그들은 필요한 물건들을 배에 실어 주었습니다.
11석 달이 지난 후, 우리는 그 섬에서 겨울을 보낸 알렉산드리아 배를 타고 뱃길에 올랐습니다. 그 배의 앞에는 쌍둥이 신 표시가 있었습니다.
12우리는 수라구사에 배를 대고 삼 일 동안을 지냈습니다.
13그 곳을 떠나서는 레기온에 도착했습니다. 그 이튿날, 남풍이 불어 와서 그 곳을 쉽게 벗어날 수 있었습니다. 이틀만에 우리는 보디올에 닿았습니다.
14거기서 우리는 신자들을 만나 그들의 초청을 받고 일 주일 동안, 그들과 함께 지냈습니다. 그런 뒤에 마침내 우리는 로마에 도착했습니다.
15로마에 있는 형제들은 우리가 온다는 소식을 듣고 '압비오 광장'과 '세 여관'까지 우리를 마중하러 왔습니다. 바울은 그들을 보자, 용기를 얻었으며 하나님께 감사했습니다.
16우리가 로마에 도착했을 때, 바울은 그를 지키는 군인 한 사람과 함께 혼자 지내도 된다는 허락을 받았습니다.
17삼 일 뒤에 바울은 그 곳의 유대인 지도자들을 불러 모았습니다. 그들이 모이자, 바울은 이렇게 말했습니다. "동포 여러분, 나는 우리 백성이나 우리 조상들의 관습을 거스르는 일을 한 적이 없습니다. 그런데도 나는 예루살렘에서 붙잡혀 로마 사람들의 손에 넘겨졌습니다.
18로마 사람들이 나를 심문했으나 내게는 사형을 당할 만한 죄가 없다는 것을 알고, 나를 풀어 주려 했습니다.
19그런데 그 곳의 유대인들이 반대해서 나는 로마에 와서 황제에게 상소할 수밖에 없었습니다. 그렇다고 해서 내 백성을 고발하려는 것은 아닙니다.
20이런 이유로 여러분을 뵙고 말씀드리고자 오시라고 했던 것입니다. 내가 이렇게 사슬에 매인 것은 이스라엘의 소망때문입니다."
21유대인들이 바울에게 대답했습니다. "우리는 아직 유대로부터 당신에 관한 어떤 편지도 받은 적이 없습니다. 또 유대로부터 온 우리 형제들 중에서 당신에 관한 나쁜 소문을 전하거나 당신을 나쁘게 말한 사람도 없습니다.
22우리는 다만 당신 생각을 듣고 싶습니다. 우리가 알기로는 어디를 가도 당신 종파에 대해서 반대하는 사람이 많다고 합니다."
23바울과 유대인들은 만날 날짜를 정했습니다. 그 날이 되었을 때, 더 많은 유대인들이 바울이 지내고 있는 곳으로 모였습니다. 바울은 아침부터 저녁까지 그들에게 하나님의 나라를 설명하고 선포했습니다. 또 모세와 예언자들의 글을 예로 들어서 그들이 예수에 관한 것을 믿게 하려 애썼습니다.
24바울의 말을 믿는 사람들도 있었지만 믿지 않는 사람들도 있었습니다.
25그들이 이처럼 의견이 갈린 채 헤어질 때에 바울이 한 마디 말을 남겼습니다. "성령께서 예언자 이사야를 통해 여러분의 조상에게 말씀하신 것은 진리입니다.
26'이 백성에게 가서 말하여라. 너희가 듣기는 들어도 깨닫지 못하고 보기는 보아도 알지 못할 것이다.
27이 백성의 마음이 무디어졌고, 귀로는 듣지 못하며 눈은 감겼다. 이는 그들이 눈으로 보고 귀로 듣고 마음으로 깨닫고 내게 돌아와 고침을 받지 못하게 하려는 것이다.'
28그러므로 여러분은 하나님의 이 구원이 이방인들에게도 전파되었다는 것을 알아야 합니다. 그들은 들을 것입니다."
29(없음)
30바울은 자기 셋집에서 꼬박 이 년을 지내면서 자기를 찾아오는 사람들을 다 맞이하였습니다.
31그는 담대하게, 그리고 아무런 방해도 받지 않고 하나님의 나라를 전하고 주 예수 그리스도에 관해 가르쳤습니다.
