Acts 3
1 Peter and John were on their way up to the Temple at the time of the afternoon prayer, around 3 p.m.
Petrus autem et Joannes ascendebant in templum ad horam orationis nonam.
2 A man who had been lame from birth was being carried there. Every day he was placed beside the Temple gate called “Beautiful” so he could beg from the people going into the Temple.
Et quidam vir, qui erat claudus ex utero matris suæ, bajulabatur: quem ponebant quotidie ad portam templi, quæ dicitur Speciosa, ut peteret eleemosynam ab introëuntibus in templum.
3 He saw Peter and John as they were about to enter the Temple and asked them for some money.
Is cum vidisset Petrum et Joannem incipientes introire in templum, rogabat ut eleemosynam acciperet.
4 Peter looked right at him. John did, too. “Look at us!” Peter said.
Intuens autem in eum Petrus cum Joanne, dixit: Respice in nos.
5 The lame man gave them his full attention, expecting to get something from them.
At ille intendebat in eos, sperans se aliquid accepturum ab eis.
6 “I don't have any silver or gold,” Peter told him, “but I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!”
Petrus autem dixit: Argentum et aurum non est mihi: quod autem habeo, hoc tibi do: in nomine Jesu Christi Nazareni surge, et ambula.
7 Peter took him by the right hand and helped him up. Right away his feet and ankles became strong.
Et apprehensa manu ejus dextera, allevavit eum, et protinus consolidatæ sunt bases ejus et plantæ.
8 He jumped to his feet, and then began to walk. He went with them into the Temple, walking and jumping and praising God.
Et exiliens stetit, et ambulabat: et intravit cum illis in templum ambulans, et exiliens, et laudans Deum.
9 Everyone there saw him walking around and praising God.
Et vidit omnis populus eum ambulantem et laudantem Deum.
10 They recognized him as the beggar who used to sit by the Temple's Beautiful Gate, and they were surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.
Cognoscebant autem illum, quod ipse erat qui ad eleemosynam sedebat ad Speciosam portam templi: et impleti sunt stupore et extasi in eo quod contigerat illi.
11 He held on tightly to Peter and John while everyone ran to them by Solomon's Porch in complete astonishment at what had happened.
Cum teneret autem Petrum et Joannem, cucurrit omnis populus ad eos ad porticum quæ appellatur Salomonis, stupentes.
12 When Peter saw this opportunity he told them, “People of Israel, why are you surprised at what's happened to this man? Why are you staring at us as if it was by our own power or faith that we made him walk?
Videns autem Petrus, respondit ad populum: Viri Israëlitæ, quid miramini in hoc, aut nos quid intuemini, quasi nostra virtute aut potestate fecerimus hunc ambulare?
13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of our forefathers—has glorified his servant Jesus. He was the one you betrayed and rejected in the presence of Pilate, even after Pilate had decided to release him.
Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob, Deus patrum nostrorum glorificavit filium suum Jesum, quem vos quidem tradidistis, et negastis ante faciem Pilati, judicante illo dimitti.
14 You rejected the one who is holy and good, and demanded a murderer be released to you.
Vos autem sanctum et justum negastis, et petistis virum homicidam donari vobis:
15 You killed the author of life, the one God raised from the dead—and we are witnesses to this.
auctorem vero vitæ interfecistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, cujus nos testes sumus.
16 By trusting in Jesus' name this man was healed by him. You see this man here; you know him. Through trusting in Jesus this man has received complete healing right in front of all of you.
Et in fide nominis ejus, hunc quem vos vidistis et nostis, confirmavit nomen ejus: et fides, quæ per eum est, dedit integram sanitatem istam in conspectu omnium vestrum.
17 Now I know, brothers and sisters, that you did this in ignorance, like your rulers.
Et nunc, fratres, scio quia per ignorantiam fecistis, sicut et principes vestri.
18 But God fulfilled what he had prophesied through all the prophets: that his Messiah would suffer.
Deus autem, quæ prænuntiavit per os omnium prophetarum, pati Christum suum, sic implevit.
19 Now repent, and change your ways, that your sins can be wiped away, so the Lord can send opportunities for you to heal and recover,
Pœnitemini igitur et convertimini, ut deleantur peccata vestra:
20 and send Jesus, the Messiah appointed for you.
ut cum venerint tempora refrigerii a conspectu Domini, et miserit eum qui prædicatus est vobis, Jesum Christum,
21 For he must stay in heaven until the time when everything is restored, as God announced through his holy prophets long ago. (aiōn g165)
quem oportet quidem cælum suscipere usque in tempora restitutionis omnium quæ locutus est Deus per os sanctorum suorum a sæculo prophetarum. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will send you a prophet from among your own people who is like me. You must listen to everything he tells you.
Moyses quidem dixit: Quoniam prophetam suscitabit vobis Dominus Deus vester de fratribus vestris, tamquam me: ipsum audietis juxta omnia quæcumque locutus fuerit vobis.
23 Anybody who doesn't listen to him will be totally removed from the people.’
Erit autem: omnis anima quæ non audierit prophetam illum, exterminabitur de plebe.
24 All the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel on, prophesied about these days.
Et omnes prophetæ, a Samuel et deinceps, qui locuti sunt, annuntiaverunt dies istos.
25 You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers when he said to Abraham, ‘From your descendants all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
Vos estis filii prophetarum, et testamenti quod disposuit Deus ad patres nostros, dicens ad Abraham: Et in semine tuo benedicentur omnes familiæ terræ.
26 God prepared his Servant and sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your evil ways.”
Vobis primum Deus suscitans filium suum, misit eum benedicentem vobis: ut convertat se unusquisque a nequitia sua.
