Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Saulus autem adhuc spirans minarum, et cædis in discipulos Domini, accessit ad principem Sacerdotum,
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
et petiit ab eo epistolas in Damascum ad synagogas: ut si quos invenisset huius viæ viros, ac mulieres, vinctos perduceret in Ierusalem.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaret Damasco: et subito circumfulsit eum lux de cælo.
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice 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 said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Qui dixit: Quis es Domine? Et ille: Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris. durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall 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 that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Viri autem illi, qui comitabantur cum eo, stabant stupefacti, audientes quidem vocem, neminem autem videntes.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led 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 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Et erat ibi tribus diebus non videns, et non manducavit, neque bibit.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, 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 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
Et Dominus ad eum: Surge, et vade in vicum, qui vocatur rectus: et quære in domo Iudæ Saulum nomine Tarsensem: ecce enim orat.
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, 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 great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
Respondit autem Ananias: Domine, audivi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala fecerit sanctis tuis in Ierusalem:
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes, qui invocant nomen tuum.
15 But the Lord said to him, Go; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the 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 myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati.
17 And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive sight, and be filled with 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 immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis eius tamquam squamæ, et visum recepit: et surgens baptizatus est.
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
Et cum accepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis, qui erant Damasci, per dies aliquot.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Et continuo in synagogis prædicabat Iesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may 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 gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Saulus autem multo magis convalescebat, et confundebat Iudæos, qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic est Christus.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Cum autem implerentur dies multi, consilium fecerunt in unum Iudæi ut eum interficerent.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Notæ autem factæ sunt Saulo insidiæ eorum. Custodiebant autem et portas die ac nocte, ut eum interficerent.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Accipientes autem eum discipuli nocte, per murum dimiserunt eum, submittentes in sporta.
26 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, not believing 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 took him, and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached 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 going in and out at Jerusalem,
Et erat cum illis intrans, et exiens in Ierusalem, et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini.
29 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay him.
Loquebatur quoque Gentibus, et disputabat cum Græcis: illi autem quærebant occidere eum.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Quod cum cognovissent fratres, deduxerunt eum Cæsaream, et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
Ecclesia quidem per totam Iudæam, et Galilæam, et Samariam habebat pacem, et ædificabatur ambulans in timore Domini, et consolatione sancti Spiritus replebatur.
32 And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
Factum est autem, ut Petrus dum pertransiret universos, deveniret ad sanctos, qui habitabant Lyddæ.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Invenit autem ibi hominem quendam, nomine Æneam, ab annis octo iacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Et ait illi Petrus: Ænea, sanat te Dominus Iesus Christus: surge, et sterne tibi. Et continuo surrexit.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Et viderunt eum omnes, qui habitabant Lyddæ, et Saronæ: qui conversi sunt ad Dominum.
36 Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
In Ioppe autem fuit quædam discipula, nomine Tabitha, quæ interpretata dicitur Dorcas. Hæc erat plena operibus bonis, et eleemosynis, quas faciebat.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Factum est autem in diebus illis, ut infirmata moreretur. Quam cum lavissent, posuerunt eam in cœnaculo.
38 And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come to us.
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 went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas made while she was with them.
Exurgens autem Petrus venit cum illis. Et cum advenisset, duxerunt illum in cœnaculum: et circumsteterunt illum omnes viduæ flentes, et ostendentes ei tunicas, et vestes, quas faciebat illis Dorcas.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing 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 he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints 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 all 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, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe, apud Simonem quendam coriarium.
