Acts 9
1 And Saul yet breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of ye Lord, went vnto the hie Priest,
Saulus autem adhuc spirans minarum, et caedis in discipulos Domini, accessit ad principem Sacerdotum,
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the Synagogues, that if he found any that were of that way (either men or women) hee might bring them bound vnto Hierusalem.
et petiit ab eo epistolas in Damascum ad synagogas: ut si quos invenisset huius viae viros, ac mulieres, vinctos perduceret in Ierusalem.
3 Now as he iourneyed, it came to passe that as he was come neere to Damascus, suddenly there shined rounde about him a light from heauen.
Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaret Damasco: et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo.
4 And hee fell to the earth, and heard a voyce, saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi: Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris?
5 And he sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.
Qui dixit: Quis es Domine? Et ille: Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris. durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.
6 He then both trembling and astonied, sayd, Lord, what wilt thou that I doe? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise and goe into the citie, and it shall be tolde thee what thou shalt doe.
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 The men also which iourneyed with him, stood amased, hearing his voyce, 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 opened his eyes, but sawe no man. Then led they him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus,
Surrexit autem Saulus de terra, apertisque oculis nihil videbat. Ad manus autem illum trahentes, introduxerunt Damascum.
9 Where he was three dayes without sight, and neither ate nor dranke.
Et erat ibi tribus diebus non videns, et non manducavit, neque bibit.
10 And there was a certaine disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and to him sayd the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he sayd, Beholde, I am here Lord.
Erat autem quidam discipulus Damasci, nomine Ananias: et dixit ad illum in visu Dominus: Anania. At ille ait: Ecce ego, Domine.
11 Then the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise, and goe into the streete which is called Straight, and seeke in the house of Iudas after one called Saul of Tarsus: for beholde, he prayeth.
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 sawe in a vision a man named Ananias comming in to him, and putting his hands on him, that he might receiue his sight.)
(Et vidit virum Ananiam nomine, introeuntem, et imponentem sibi manus ut visum recipiat.)
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I haue heard by many of this man, howe much euill hee hath done to thy saints at Hierusalem.
Respondit autem Ananias: Domine, audivi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala fecerit sanctis tuis in Ierusalem:
14 Moreouer here hee hath authoritie of the hie Priestes, to binde all that call on thy Name.
et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes, qui invocant nomen tuum.
15 Then the Lord said vnto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me, to beare my Name before the Gentiles, and Kings, and the children 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 shewe him, howe many things he must suffer for my Names sake.
Ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati.
17 Then Ananias went his way, and entred into that house, and put his hands on him, and sayd, Brother Saul, the Lord hath sent me (euen Iesus that appeared vnto thee in the way as thou camest) that thou mightest receiue thy sight, and be filled with the holy Ghost.
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 immediately there fell from his eyes as it had bene scales, and suddenly he receiued sight, and arose, and was baptized,
Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis eius tamquam squamae, et visum recepit: et surgens baptizatus est.
19 And receiued meate, and was strengthened. So was Saul certaine dayes with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Et cum accepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis, qui erant Damasci, per dies aliquot.
20 And straightway hee preached Christ in the Synagogues, that he was that Sonne of God,
Et continuo ingressus in synagogas praedicabat Iesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 So that all that heard him, were amased, and sayde, Is not this hee, that made hauocke of them which called on this Name in Hierusalem, and came hither for that intent, that hee should bring them bound vnto the hie 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 encreased the more in strength, and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus, confirming, that this was that Christ.
Saulus autem multo magis convalescebat, et confundebat Iudaeos, qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic est Christus.
23 And after that many dayes were fulfilled, the Iewes tooke counsell together, to kill him,
Cum autem implerentur dies multi, consilium fecerunt in unum Iudaei ut eum interficerent.
24 But their laying awayte was knowen of Saul: nowe they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
Notae autem factae sunt Saulo insidiae eorum. Custodiebant autem et portas die ac nocte, ut eum interficerent.
25 Then the disciples tooke him by night, and put him through the wall, and let him downe by a rope in a basket.
Accipientes autem eum discipuli eius nocte, per murum dimiserunt eum, submittentes in sporta.
26 And when Saul was come to Hierusalem, he assayed to ioyne himselfe with the disciples: but they were all afrayd of him, and beleeued not that he was a disciple.
Cum autem venisset in Ierusalem, tentabat se iungere discipulis, et omnes timebant eum, non credentes quod esset discipulus.
27 But Barnabas tooke him, and brought him to the Apostles, and declared to them, howe hee had seene the Lord in the way, and that hee had spoken vnto him, and how he had spoken boldly at Damascus in the Name of Iesus.
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 hee was conuersant with them at Hierusalem,
Et erat cum illis intrans, et exiens in Ierusalem, et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini.
29 And spake boldly in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and spake and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
Loquebatur quoque Gentibus, et disputabat cum Graecis: illi autem quaerebant occidere eum.
30 But when the brethren knewe it, they brought him to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Quod cum cognovissent fratres, deduxerunt eum Caesaream, et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 Then had the Churches rest through all Iudea, and Galile, and Samaria, and were edified and walked in the feare of the Lord, and were multiplied by the comfort of the holy Ghost.
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 passe, as Peter walked throughout all quarters, hee came also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
Factum est autem, ut Petrus dum pertransiret universos, deveniret ad sanctos, qui habitabant Lyddae.
33 And there he found a certaine man named Aeneas, which had kept his couch eight yeeres, and was sicke of the palsie.
Invenit autem ibi hominem quendam, nomine Aeneam, ab annis octo iacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 Then said Peter vnto him, Aeneas, Iesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and trusse thy couch together. And he arose immediately.
Et ait illi Petrus: Aenea, sanet te Dominus Iesus Christus: surge, et sterne tibi. Et continuo surrexit.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, sawe him, and turned to the Lord.
Et viderunt eum omnes, qui habitabant Lyddae, et Saronae: qui conversi sunt ad Dominum.
36 There was also at Ioppa a certaine woman, a disciple named Tabitha (which by interpretation is called Dorcas) she was full of good workes and almes which 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 it came to passe in those dayes, that she was sicke and dyed: and when they had washed her, they layd her in an vpper chamber.
Factum est autem in diebus illis, ut infirmata moreretur. Quam cum lavissent, posuerunt eam in coenaculo.
38 Now forasmuch as Lydda was neere to Ioppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent vnto him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come vnto 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 Then Peter arose and came with them: and when hee was come, they brought him into the vpper chamber, where all the widowes stoode by him weeping, and shewing the coates and garments, which Dorcas made, while she was 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 put them all forth, and kneeled downe, and prayed, and turned him to the body, and sayd, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, sate vp.
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 Then he gaue her the hand and lift her vp, and called the Saints and widowes, and restored her aliue.
Dans autem illi manum, erexit eam. Et cum vocasset sanctos, et viduas, assignavit eam vivam.
42 And it was knowen throughout all Ioppa, and many beleeued in the Lord.
Notum autem factum est per universam Ioppen: et crediderunt multi in Domino.
43 And it came to passe that he taried many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a Tanner.
Factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe, apud Simonem quendam coriarium.
