Acts 4
1 And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
Loquentibus autem illis ad populum, supervenerunt sacerdotes, et magistratus templi, et Sadducaei,
2 being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
dolentes quod docerent populum, et annunciarent in Iesum resurrectionem ex mortuis:
3 And they laid hands upon them, and put them in prison until the next day; for it was now evening.
et iniecerunt in eos manus, et posuerunt eos in custodiam in crastinum: erat enim iam vespera.
4 Many however of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became five thousand.
Multi autem eorum, qui audierant verbum, crediderunt: et factus est numerus virorum quinque millia.
5 And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes,
Factum est autem in crastinum, ut congregarentur principes eorum, et seniores, et scribae in Ierusalem.
6 and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high-priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
et Annas princeps sacerdotum, et Caiphas, et Ioannes, et Alexander, et quotquot erant de genere sacerdotali.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, did ye do this?
Et statuentes eos in medio, interrogabant: In qua virtute, aut in quo nomine fecistis hoc vos?
8 Then Peter, filled with the 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 this day examined in respect to a good deed done to a cripple, by what means he hath been restored,
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 Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, —by him doth this man stand here before you sound.
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 set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone.
Hic est lapis, qui reprobatus est a vobis aedificantibus, qui factus est in caput anguli:
12 And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been 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 And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having 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 And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.
hominem quoque videntes stantem cum eis, qui curatus fuerat, nihil poterant contradicere.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Iusserunt autem eos foras extra concilium secedere: et conferebant ad invicem,
16 saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that 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 that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly forbid them with threats to speak any longer in this name to any one.
Sed ne amplius divulgetur in populum, comminemur eis, ne ultra loquantur in nomine hoc ulli hominum.
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus.
Et vocantes eos, denunciaverunt ne omnino loquerentur, neque docerent in nomine Iesu.
19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.
Petrus vero, et Ioannes respondentes, dixerunt ad eos: Si iustum est in conspectu Dei, vos potius audire quam Deum, iudicate.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
non enim possumus quae vidimus et audivimus non loqui.
21 So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.
At illi comminantes dimiserunt eos: non invenientes quomodo punirent eos propter populum, quia omnes clarificabant id, quod factum fuerat in eo quod acciderat.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.
Annorum enim erat amplius quadraginta homo, in quo factum fuerat signum istud sanitatis.
23 And being released they went to their own company, 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 And on hearing it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art he that made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are 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 who by the mouth of thy servant David said, “Why did the heathen rage, and the peoples meditate 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 came up, and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed.”
Astiterunt reges terrae, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum eius?
27 For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, did both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, assemble in this city,
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 thy hand and thy will before determined to be done.
facere quae manus tua, et consilium tuum decreverunt fieri.
29 And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
Et nunc Domine respice in minas eorum, et da servis tuis cum omni fiducia loqui verbum tuum,
30 while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are wrought through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.
in eo quod manum tuam extendas ad sanitates, et signa, et prodigia fieri per nomen sancti filii tui Iesu.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they 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 And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart, and of one soul; and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things 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 And with great power did the apostles give their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.
Et virtute magna reddebant Apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Iesu Christi Domini nostri: et gratia magna erat in omnibus illis.
34 For there was no one among them that was in want; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
Neque enim quisquam egens erat inter illos. Quotquot enim possessores agrorum, aut domorum erant vendentes afferebant pretia eorum, quae vendebant,
35 and laid them at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
et ponebant ante pedes Apostolorum. Dividebatur autem singulis prout cuique opus erat.
36 And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, when interpreted, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, born in Cyprus,
Ioseph autem, qui cognominatus est Barnabas ab Apostolis, (quod est interpretatum Filius consolationis) Levites, Cyprius genere,
37 having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
cum haberet agrum, vendidit eum, et attulit pretium, et posuit ante pedes Apostolorum.
