Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threat and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, after going to the high priest,
Saulus autem adhuc spirans minarum, et caedis in discipulos Domini, accessit ad principem Sacerdotum,
2 he requested letters from him for Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
et petiit ab eo epistolas in Damascum ad synagogas: ut si quos invenisset huius viae viros, ac mulieres, vinctos perduceret in Ierusalem.
3 And on going, it came to pass for him to approach Damascus. And suddenly there shone around him a light out of heaven.
Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaret Damasco: et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo.
4 And after falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me?
Et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi: Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris?
5 And he said, Who are thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute.
Qui dixit: Quis es Domine? Et ille: Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris. durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.
6 But arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told thee what thou must do.
Et tremens, ac stupens dixit: Domine, quid me vis facere? Et Dominus ad eum: Surge, et ingredere civitatem, et ibi dicetur tibi quid te oporteat facere.
7 And the men who traveled with him had stopped, speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no man.
Viri autem illi, qui comitabantur cum eo, stabant stupefacti, audientes quidem vocem, neminem autem videntes.
8 And Saul arose from the ground. And when his eyes were opened, he saw no man. But they brought him into Damascus, leading him by the hand.
Surrexit autem Saulus de terra, apertisque oculis nihil videbat. Ad manus autem illum trahentes, introduxerunt Damascum.
9 And he was three days not seeing, and did not eat or drink.
Et erat ibi tribus diebus non videns, et non manducavit, neque bibit.
10 Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold me, Lord.
Erat autem quidam discipulus Damasci, nomine Ananias: et dixit ad illum in visu Dominus: Anania. At ille ait: Ecce ego, Domine.
11 And the Lord said to him, After rising, go into the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, a man named Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.
Et Dominus ad eum: Surge, et vade in vicum, qui vocatur rectus: et quaere in domo Iudae Saulum nomine Tarsensem: ecce enim orat.
12 And he saw in a vision a man named Ananias who came in and laid a hand on him, so that he might receive sight.
(Et vidit virum Ananiam nomine, introeuntem, et imponentem sibi manus ut visum recipiat.)
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evil things he did to thy sanctified at Jerusalem.
Respondit autem Ananias: Domine, audivi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala fecerit sanctis tuis in Ierusalem:
14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.
et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes, qui invocant nomen tuum.
15 But the Lord said to him, Go, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before Gentiles and kings, and sons of Israel.
Dixit autem ad eum Dominus: Vade, quoniam vas electionis est mihi iste, ut portet nomen meum coram gentibus, et regibus, et filiis Israel.
16 For I will give him a glimpse of how many things it is necessary for him to suffer for my name.
Ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati.
17 And Ananias departed and entered into the house. And having laid hands on him he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, he who appeared to thee on the road on which thou came, has sent me so that thou may receive sight, and be filled of the Holy Spirit.
Et abiit Ananias, et introivit in domum: et imponens ei manus, dixit: Saule frater, Dominus misit me Iesus, qui apparuit tibi in via, qua veniebas ut videas, et implearis Spiritu sancto.
18 And straightaway there fell from his eyes, like scales, and he looked up. And immediately after rising up, he was immersed.
Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis eius tamquam squamae, et visum recepit: et surgens baptizatus est.
19 And having received nourishment, he was strengthened. And Saul became with the disciples in Damascus some days.
Et cum accepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis, qui erant Damasci, per dies aliquot.
20 And straightaway he proclaimed the Christ in the synagogues, that this man is the Son of God.
Et continuo ingressus in synagogas praedicabat Iesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 And all those who heard were amazed, and said, Is this not the man who destroyed those in Jerusalem who call on this name? And he has come here for this, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests.
Stupebant autem omnes, qui audiebant, et dicebant: Nonne hic est, qui expugnabat in Ierusalem eos, qui invocabant nomen istud: et huc ad hoc venit ut vinctos illos duceret ad principes sacerdotum?
22 But Saul was strengthened more, and was confounding the Jews who dwell at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Saulus autem multo magis convalescebat, et confundebat Iudaeos, qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic est Christus.
23 And after considerable days were fulfilled, the Jews plotted to destroy him,
Cum autem implerentur dies multi, consilium fecerunt in unum Iudaei ut eum interficerent.
24 but their plot was known to Saul. And they watched the gates both day and night so that they might destroy him.
Notae autem factae sunt Saulo insidiae eorum. Custodiebant autem et portas die ac nocte, ut eum interficerent.
25 But the disciples, after taking him by night, let him down through the wall, having lowered him in a hamper.
Accipientes autem eum discipuli eius nocte, per murum dimiserunt eum, submittentes in sporta.
26 And when Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he attempted to join with the disciples, and they all feared him, not believing that he is a disciple.
Cum autem venisset in Ierusalem, tentabat se iungere discipulis, et omnes timebant eum, non credentes quod esset discipulus.
27 But Barnabas having taken him, he brought him to the apostles. And he related to them how he saw the Lord on the road, and that he spoke to him, and how he spoke boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Barnabas autem apprehensum illum duxit ad Apostolos: et narravit illis quomodo in via vidisset Dominum, et quia locutus est ei, et quomodo in Damasco fiducialiter egerit in nomine Iesu.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem, and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Et erat cum illis intrans, et exiens in Ierusalem, et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini.
29 And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they attempted to destroy him.
Loquebatur quoque Gentibus, et disputabat cum Graecis: illi autem quaerebant occidere eum.
30 But when the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
Quod cum cognovissent fratres, deduxerunt eum Caesaream, et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 Indeed therefore the congregations throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified. And, going in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Ecclesia quidem per totam Iudaeam, et Galilaeam, et Samariam habebat pacem, et aedificabatur ambulans in timore Domini, et consolatione sancti Spiritus replebatur.
32 And it came to pass, Peter, passing through all parts, to also come down to the sanctified who dwell at Lydda.
Factum est autem, ut Petrus dum pertransiret universos, deveniret ad sanctos, qui habitabant Lyddae.
33 And he found there a certain man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed, laying on a bed for eight years.
Invenit autem ibi hominem quendam, nomine Aeneam, ab annis octo iacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals thee. Arise and make thy bed. And straightaway he arose.
Et ait illi Petrus: Aenea, sanet te Dominus Iesus Christus: surge, et sterne tibi. Et continuo surrexit.
35 And all those dwelling at Lydda and Sharon who saw him, turned to the Lord.
Et viderunt eum omnes, qui habitabant Lyddae, et Saronae: qui conversi sunt ad Dominum.
36 Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which, being translated, is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charities that she did.
In Ioppe autem fuit quaedam discipula, nomine Tabitha, quae interpretata dicitur Dorcas. Haec erat plena operibus bonis, et eleemosynis, quas faciebat.
37 And in those days, having been ill, she happened to die. And after washing her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Factum est autem in diebus illis, ut infirmata moreretur. Quam cum lavissent, posuerunt eam in coenaculo.
38 And since Lydda is near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter is in it, they sent two men to him, exhorting him not to delay to go through to them.
Cum autem prope esset Lydda ad Ioppen, discipuli audientes quia Petrus esset in ea, miserunt duos viros ad eum, rogantes: Ne pigriteris venire ad nos.
39 And after rising, Peter went with them, whom, after coming, they brought into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood by him weeping, and exhibiting the coats and garments, as many things as Dorcas made being with them.
Exurgens autem Petrus venit cum illis. Et cum advenisset, duxerunt illum in coenaculum: et circumsteterunt illum omnes viduae flentes, et ostendentes ei tunicas, et vestes, quas faciebat illis Dorcas.
40 But Peter, having sent them all out, having knelt down, he prayed. And having turned to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And the woman opened her eyes. And when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Eiectis autem omnibus foras: Petrus ponens genua oravit: et conversus ad corpus, dixit: Tabitha, surge. At illa aperuit oculos suos: et viso Petro, resedit.
41 And having given her a hand, he raised her up. And after calling the sanctified and the widows, he presented her alive.
Dans autem illi manum, erexit eam. Et cum vocasset sanctos, et viduas, assignavit eam vivam.
42 And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Notum autem factum est per universam Ioppen: et crediderunt multi in Domino.
43 And it came to pass for him to remain considerable days at Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
Factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe, apud Simonem quendam coriarium.
