35The city clerk quieted the crowd and said: “Fellow Ephesians, doesn’t all the world know that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven? 最后,城里的书记官出面调停,说:“各位以弗所市民,谁不知道以弗所城守护着亚底米女神庙和从宙斯那里掉下来的神像呢?
36Therefore, since these facts are undeniable, you ought to calm down and not do anything rash. 既然这是无可否认的事实,你们就该安静,不可鲁莽行事。
37You have brought these men here, though they have neither robbed temples nor blasphemed our goddess. 你们带来的这些人既没有偷庙里的东西,也没有亵渎我们的女神。
38If, then, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a grievance against anybody, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. They can press charges. 如果底米丢和他的同行要控告谁,大可到法庭或总督那里提出诉讼。
39If there is anything further you want to bring up, it must be settled in a legal assembly. 倘若你们还有其他的要求,也可以通过合法的会议解决。
40As it is, we are in danger of being charged with rioting because of what happened today. In that case we would not be able to account for this commotion, since there is no reason for it.” 今天的骚乱实在没有道理,难免会被查问,到时候我们很难交代。”
41After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.说完,便叫众人散去。
