Acts 4
1 Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came at them,
Loquentibus autem illis ad populum, supervenerunt sacerdotes, et magistratus templi, et Sadducaei,
2 being upset because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
dolentes quod docerent populum, et annunciarent in Iesum resurrectionem ex mortuis:
3 And they laid hands on them and put them in custody until the next day, because it was already evening.
et iniecerunt in eos manus, et posuerunt eos in custodiam in crastinum: erat enim iam vespera.
4 (However, many of those who heard the message believed; the number of the men came to be about five thousand.)
Multi autem eorum, qui audierant verbum, crediderunt: et factus est numerus virorum quinque millia.
5 So the next day an assembly of their rulers, both elders and scribes, occurred in Jerusalem,
Factum est autem in crastinum, ut congregarentur principes eorum, et seniores, et scribae in Ierusalem.
6 along with Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, John and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent.
et Annas princeps sacerdotum, et Caiphas, et Ioannes, et Alexander, et quotquot erant de genere sacerdotali.
7 And having placed them in the middle [of the assembly] they started questioning: “By what power, or by what name did you do this?”
Et statuentes eos in medio, interrogabant: In qua virtute, aut in quo nomine fecistis hoc vos?
8 Then Peter, full of Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
Tunc repletus Spiritu sancto Petrus, dixit ad eos: Principes populi, et seniores audite:
9 If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,
Si nos hodie diiudicamur in benefacto hominis infirmi, in quo iste salvus factus est,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Natsorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
notum sit omnibus vobis, et omni plebi Israel: quia in nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi Nazareni, quem vos crucifixistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, in hoc iste astat coram vobis sanus.
11 This is ‘the stone which was despised by you, the builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’
Hic est lapis, qui reprobatus est a vobis aedificantibus, qui factus est in caput anguli:
12 Also, the salvation does not exist in anyone else, because there is no other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.”
et non est in alio aliquo salus. Nec enim aliud nomen est sub caelo datum hominibus, in quo oporteat nos salvos fieri.
13 Now upon observing the boldness of Peter and John and perceiving that they were uneducated and unskilled men, they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Videntes autem Petri constantiam, et Ioannis, comperto quod homines essent sine litteris, et idiotae, admirabantur, et cognoscebant eos quoniam cum Iesu fuerant:
14 Further, seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
hominem quoque videntes stantem cum eis, qui curatus fuerat, nihil poterant contradicere.
15 So ordering them to go out from the council they began to confer among themselves,
Iusserunt autem eos foras extra concilium secedere: et conferebant ad invicem,
16 saying: “What can we do to these men? Because, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
dicentes: Quid faciemus hominibus istis? quoniam quidem notum signum factum est per eos, omnibus habitantibus Ierusalem: manifestum est, et non possumus negare.
17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them to no longer speak to anyone in this name.”
Sed ne amplius divulgetur in populum, comminemur eis, ne ultra loquantur in nomine hoc ulli hominum.
18 So summoning them they commanded them absolutely not to speak or teach in the name of ‘Jesus’.
Et vocantes eos, denunciaverunt ne omnino loquerentur, neque docerent in nomine Iesu.
19 But in answer Peter and John said to them: “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves;
Petrus vero, et Ioannes respondentes, dixerunt ad eos: Si iustum est in conspectu Dei, vos potius audire quam Deum, iudicate.
20 because we cannot help but speak the things we have seen and heard.”
non enim possumus quae vidimus et audivimus non loqui.
21 So threatening them some more they released them, not finding any way to punish them, because of the people, since they were all glorifying God over what had happened;
At illi comminantes dimiserunt eos: non invenientes quomodo punirent eos propter populum, quia omnes clarificabant id, quod factum fuerat in eo quod acciderat.
22 because the man on whom this miracle of healing had been performed was over forty years old.
Annorum enim erat amplius quadraginta homo, in quo factum fuerat signum istud sanitatis.
23 So upon being released they went to their own group and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
Dimissi autem venerunt ad suos: et annunciaverunt eis quanta ad eos principes sacerdotum, et seniores dixissent.
24 Well upon hearing it, with one mind they called out to God and said: “O Sovereign! You are God, the Maker of sky and earth and ocean, and all that is in them;
Qui cum audissent, unanimiter levaverunt vocem ad Deum, et dixerunt: Domine, tu es qui fecisti caelum, et terram, mare, et omnia, quae in eis sunt:
25 You who said through the mouth of Your servant David: ‘Why did nations snort and peoples plot vain things?
qui Spiritu sancto per os patris nostri David, pueri tui, dixisti: Quare fremuerunt Gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania?
26 The kings of the earth took a stand, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against His Messiah.’
Astiterunt reges terrae, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum eius?
27 Well, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with Gentiles and peoples of Israel, were gathered together against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,
convenerunt enim vere in civitate ista adversus sanctum puerum tuum Iesum, quem unxisti, Herodes, et Pontius Pilatus, cum Gentibus, et populis Israel,
28 to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel foreordained to happen.
facere quae manus tua, et consilium tuum decreverunt fieri.
29 As for the present, Lord, consider their threats, and grant to Your slaves to speak Your word with all boldness,
Et nunc Domine respice in minas eorum, et da servis tuis cum omni fiducia loqui verbum tuum,
30 while You stretch out Your hand to heal and that signs and wonders may occur through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”
in eo quod manum tuam extendas ad sanitates, et signa, et prodigia fieri per nomen sancti filii tui Iesu.
31 Well when they had prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of God with boldness.
Et cum orassent, motus est locus, in quo erant congregati: et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu sancto, et loquebantur verbum Dei cum fiducia.
32 Now the multitude of those who believed was of one heart and soul; indeed not one was saying that any of his belongings was his own, but they had all things in common.
Multitudinis autem credentium erat cor unum, et anima una: nec quisquam eorum, quae possidebat, aliquid suum esse dicebat, sed erant illis omnia communia.
33 (Also the Apostles were giving witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with great power.) Yes, great grace was on them all,
Et virtute magna reddebant Apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Iesu Christi Domini nostri: et gratia magna erat in omnibus illis.
34 because there were not any needy among them—as many as were owners of lands or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds of the sold items
Neque enim quisquam egens erat inter illos. Quotquot enim possessores agrorum, aut domorum erant vendentes afferebant pretia eorum, quae vendebant,
35 and placing them at the Apostles' feet, and they were distributed to each according as anyone had need.
et ponebant ante pedes Apostolorum. Dividebatur autem singulis prout cuique opus erat.
36 So Joses, who was named Barnabas by the Apostles (which is, being translated, ‘Son of encouragement’), a Levite of the country of Cyprus,
Ioseph autem, qui cognominatus est Barnabas ab Apostolis, (quod est interpretatum Filius consolationis) Levites, Cyprius genere,
37 having a field, sold it, brought the money and placed it at the Apostles' feet.
cum haberet agrum, vendidit eum, et attulit pretium, et posuit ante pedes Apostolorum.
