Acts 8
1 And, Saul, was taking pleasure with them in his death. Moreover there arose, in that day, a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem; [and], all, were scattered abroad throughout the countries of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Saulus autem erat consentiens neci eius facta est autem in illa die persecutio magna in ecclesia quae erat Hierosolymis et omnes dispersi sunt per regiones Iudaeae et Samariae praeter apostolos
2 Howbeit reverent men assisted at the burial of Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.
curaverunt autem Stephanum viri timorati et fecerunt planctum magnum super illum
3 But, Saul, went on to lay waste the assembly, along the houses, going in, and, dragging off both men and women, was
Saulus vero devastabat ecclesiam per domos intrans et trahens viros ac mulieres tradebat in custodiam
4 They, indeed, therefore, who were scattered abroad, passed through, telling the good-news of the word;
igitur qui dispersi erant pertransiebant evangelizantes verbum
5 And, Philip, going down unto the city of Samaria, proclaimed unto them the Christ.
Philippus autem descendens in civitatem Samariae praedicabat illis Christum
6 And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working.
intendebant autem turbae his quae a Philippo dicebantur unianimiter audientes et videntes signa quae faciebat
7 For, from many who had impure spirits, shouting with a loud voice, they were going out, and, many that were paralysed and lame, were cured.
multi enim eorum qui habebant spiritus inmundos clamantes voce magna exiebant multi autem paralytici et claudi curati sunt
8 And there came to be great joy in that city.
factum est ergo magnum gaudium in illa civitate
9 But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, —saying that himself was someone great:
vir autem quidam nomine Simon qui ante fuerat in civitate magus seducens gentem Samariae dicens esse se aliquem magnum
10 Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying—This, is the Power of God, which is called Great.
cui auscultabant omnes a minimo usque ad maximum dicentes hic est virtus Dei quae vocatur Magna
11 And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them.
adtendebant autem eum propter quod multo tempore magicis suis dementasset eos
12 But, when they believed Philip telling the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be immersed, both men and women.
cum vero credidissent Philippo evangelizanti de regno Dei et nomine Iesu Christi baptizabantur viri ac mulieres
13 And, Simon himself also, believed; and, having been immersed, was in constant attendance on Philip, —and, beholding signs and great works of power coming to pass, was astonished.
tunc Simon et ipse credidit et cum baptizatus esset adherebat Philippo videns etiam signa et virtutes maximas fieri stupens admirabatur
14 And the Apostles who were in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had welcomed the word of God, sent out unto them Peter and John;
cum autem audissent apostoli qui erant Hierosolymis quia recepit Samaria verbum Dei miserunt ad illos Petrum et Iohannem
15 Who, indeed, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive Holy Spirit; —
qui cum venissent oraverunt pro ipsis ut acciperent Spiritum Sanctum
16 For, not yet, had it, upon any one of them, fallen, but, only, to begin with, they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.
nondum enim in quemquam illorum venerat sed baptizati tantum erant in nomine Domini Iesu
17 Then, proceeded they to lay their hands upon them, and they were receiving Holy Spirit.
tunc inponebant manus super illos et accipiebant Spiritum Sanctum
18 But Simon, seeing that, through means of the laying on of the hands of the Apostles, the Spirit was being given, offered unto them money,
cum vidisset autem Simon quia per inpositionem manus apostolorum daretur Spiritus Sanctus obtulit eis pecuniam
19 Saying—Give unto me also this authority, —in order that, on whomsoever may lay my hands, he may receive Holy Spirit.
dicens date et mihi hanc potestatem ut cuicumque inposuero manus accipiat Spiritum Sanctum Petrus autem dixit ad eum
20 And Peter said unto him—Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free-gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained!
pecunia tua tecum sit in perditionem quoniam donum Dei existimasti pecunia possideri
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for, thy heart, is not upright before God.
non est tibi pars neque sors in sermone isto cor enim tuum non est rectum coram Deo
22 Repent, therefore, from this thy baseness, and entreat of the Lord—whether, after all, the purpose of thy heart shall be forgiven thee;
paenitentiam itaque age ab hac nequitia tua et roga Deum si forte remittatur tibi haec cogitatio cordis tui
23 For see that thou servest as a gall-root of bitterness, and a bond of unrighteousness.
in felle enim amaritudinis et obligatione iniquitatis video te esse
24 And Simon, answering, said—Entreat ye, in my behalf, unto the Lord; that, nothing, may come upon me, of the things whereof ye have spoken!
respondens autem Simon dixit precamini vos pro me ad Dominum ut nihil veniat super me horum quae dixistis
25 They, therefore, having fully borne witness, and spoken the word of the Lord, began their return unto Jerusalem, and, unto many villages of the Samaritans, were they telling the glad tidings.
et illi quidem testificati et locuti verbum Domini rediebant Hierosolymam et multis regionibus Samaritanorum evangelizabant
26 And, a messenger of the Lord, spake unto Philip, saying—Arise, and be journeying along southward, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, —the same, is desert.
angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Philippum dicens surge et vade contra meridianum ad viam quae descendit ab Hierusalem in Gazam haec est deserta
27 And, arising, he journeyed. And lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, one in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure [who] had come to worship in Jerusalem;
et surgens abiit et ecce vir aethiops eunuchus potens Candacis reginae Aethiopum qui erat super omnes gazas eius venerat adorare in Hierusalem
28 And was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
et revertebatur sedens super currum suum legensque prophetam Esaiam
29 And the Spirit said unto Philip—Go near, and join thyself unto this chariot!
dixit autem Spiritus Philippo accede et adiunge te ad currum istum
30 And, running near, Philip heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said—Dost thou, then, understand what thou art reading?
adcurrens autem Philippus audivit illum legentem Esaiam prophetam et dixit putasne intellegis quae legis
31 And, he, said—How indeed should be able—unless someone shall guide me? And he called upon Philip, to come up and sit with him.
qui ait et quomodo possum si non aliquis ostenderit mihi rogavitque Philippum ut ascenderet et sederet secum
32 Now, the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was, this: —As a sheep, unto slaughter, was he led, and, as a lamb, before him that sheareth it, is dumb, so, he openeth not his mouth.
locus autem scripturae quam legebat erat hic tamquam ovis ad occisionem ductus est et sicut agnus coram tondente se sine voce sic non aperuit os suum
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away, —his generation, who shall describe? because, his life, is taken away from the earth.
in humilitate iudicium eius sublatum est generationem illius quis enarrabit quoniam tollitur de terra vita eius
34 And the eunuch, making answer unto Philip, said—I pray thee! Of whom, is the prophet saying this? of himself, or, of some different person?
respondens autem eunuchus Philippo dixit obsecro te de quo propheta dicit hoc de se an de alio aliquo
35 And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of Jesus.
aperiens autem Philippus os suum et incipiens ab scriptura ista evangelizavit illi Iesum
36 And, as they were journeying along the way, they came unto a certain water, —and the eunuch saith—Lo! water! What doth hinder my being immersed?
et dum irent per viam venerunt ad quandam aquam et ait eunuchus ecce aqua quid prohibet me baptizari
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down, both, into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, —and he immersed him.
et iussit stare currum et descenderunt uterque in aquam Philippus et eunuchus et baptizavit eum
39 But, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more; for he was going on his way rejoicing.
cum autem ascendissent de aqua Spiritus Domini rapuit Philippum et amplius non vidit eum eunuchus ibat enim per viam suam gaudens
40 Now Philip was found at Azotus; and, passing through, he was telling the glad tidings unto all the cities, until he came unto Caesarea.
Philippus autem inventus est in Azoto et pertransiens evangelizabat civitatibus cunctis donec veniret Caesaream
