1 And Sha’ul, full of the blessings of Mashiaḥ, and abounding in the Ruaḥ ha’Qodesh, departed out of Rome, determining to go into Spania, for he had a long time purposed to journey thitherward, and was minded also to go from thence into Britain.
2 For he had heard in Phoinikĕ that certain of the children of Yisra’ĕl, about the time of the captivity into the land of Ashshur, had escaped by sea to the isles afar off, as spoken by the neḇi’im, and called by the Romans, Britain.
3 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded the Besorah to be preached far hence to the other nations, and to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’ĕl.
4 And no man hindered Sha’ul; for he testified boldly of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 before the tribunes and among the people and he took with him certain of the brethren which abode with him at Rome, and they took shipping at Ostium, and have the winds fair, were brought safely into a haven of Spania.
5 And much people were gathered from the towns and villages, and the hill country; for they had heard of the conversion of the talmid, and the many miracles which he had wrought.
6 And Sha’ul preached mightily in Spania, and great multitudes believed and were converted, for they perceived he was a talmid sent from Elohim.
7 And they departed out of Spania, and Sha’ul and his company finding a ship in Armorica sailed unto Britain, they went therein, and passing along the south coast they reached a port called Raphinus.
8 Now when it was noised abroad that the apostle had landed on their coast, great multitudes of the inhabitants met him, and they treated Sha’ul courteously, and he entered in at the east gate of their city, and lodged in the house of an Iḇri and one of his own nation.
9 And on the morrow he came and stood upon Mount Luḏ; and the people thronged at the gate, and assembled in the Broadway, and he preached Mashiaḥ unto them, and many believed the word and the testimony of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏.
10 And at evening the Ruaḥ ha’Qodesh fell upon Sha’ul, and he naḇu, saying, “Behold in the last days 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Shalom shall dwell in the cities, and the inhabitants thereof shall be numbered; and in the seventh numbering of the people, their eyes shall be opened, and the splendor of their inheritance shine forth before them. And nations shall come up to worship on the Mount that testifies the patience and longsuffering of a servant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
11 “And in the latter days, new tidings of the Besorah shall issue forth out of Yerushalayim, and the hearts of the people shall rejoice, and behold, fountains shall be opened, and there shall be no more plague.
12 “In those days there shall be wars and rumors of wars; and a Sovereign shall rise up, and his sword shall be for the healing of the nations, and his peace making shall abide, and the splendor of his Reign a wonder among princes.”
13 And it came to pass that certain of the Druids came unto Sha’ul privately, and showed by their rites and ceremonies they were descended from the Yahuḏim which escaped from bondage in the land of Mitsrayim, and the apostle believed these things, and he gave them the kiss of peace.
14 And Sha’ul abode in his lodging three months, confirming in the faith and preaching Mashiaḥ continually.
15 And after these things Sha’ul and his brethren departed from Raphinus, and sailed unto Atium, in Gaul.
16 And Sha’ul preached in the Romaiy garrisons and among the people, exhorting all men to repent and confess their sins.
17 And there came to him certain of the Belgae to inquire of him of the new doctrine, and of the man 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏; and Sha’ul opened his heart unto them, and told them all things that had befallen him, howbeit that Mashiaḥ 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 came into the world to save sinners; and they departed, pondering among themselves upon the things which they had heard.
18 And after much preaching and toil, Sha’ul and his fellow laborers passed into Helvetia, and came unto Mount Pontius Pilatus, where he who condemned Aḏonai 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 dashed himself down headlong, and so miserably perished.
19 And after much preaching and toil, Sha’ul and his fellow laborers passed into Helvetia, and came unto Mount Pontius Pilatus, where he who condemned Aḏonai 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 dashed himself down headlong, and so miserably perished. And immediately a torrent gushed out of the mountain and washed his broken body in pieces into a lake.
20 And Sha’ul stretched forth his hands upon the water, and prayed unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying, “O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 Elohim, give a sign unto all nations that here Pontius Pilatus, which condemned your only brought-forth Bĕn, plunged headlong into the pit.”
21 And while Sha’ul was yet speaking, behold there came a great earthquake, and the face of the waters was changed, and the form of the lake like unto the Bĕn of Aḏam hanging in the agony upon the stake.
22 And a voice came out of heaven saying, “Even Pilatus has escaped the wrath to come, for he washed his hands before the multitude at the blood shedding of Aḏonai 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏.”
23 When, therefore, Sha’ul and those that were with him saw the earthquake, and heard the voice of the messenger, they glorified Yah, and were mightily
strengthened in the Ruaḥ.
24 And they journeyed and came to Mount Yulios, where stood two pillars, one on the right hand and one on the left hand, erected by Kaisar Augustus.
25 And Sha’ul, filled with the Ruaḥ ha’Qodesh, stood up between the two pillars, saying, “Men and brethren, these stones which ye see this day shall testify of my journey hence; and indeed I say, they shall remain until the outpouring of the Ruaḥ upon all nations, neither shall the way be hindered throughout all generations.”
26 And they went forth and came unto Illurikon, intending to go by Makedonia into Asia, and grace was found in all the called out assemblies; and they prospered and had peace. Amĕn.
