Acts 9
1 But Saul, still speaking threats even of murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Saulus autem adhuc spirans minarum, et caedis in discipulos Domini, accessit ad principem Sacerdotum,
2 and asked him for letters for the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
et petiit ab eo epistolas in Damascum ad synagogas: ut si quos invenisset huius viae viros, ac mulieres, vinctos perduceret in Ierusalem.
3 As he was traveling, it happened that as he came near to Damascus, suddenly there shone all around him a light out of heaven;
Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaret Damasco: et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo.
4 and he fell upon the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
Et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi: Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris?
5 Saul replied, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting;
Qui dixit: Quis es Domine? Et ille: Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris. durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.
6 but rise, enter into the city, and it will be told you what you 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 The men who traveled with Saul 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 Saul arose from the ground, and when he opened his eyes, he could see nothing; so 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 For three days he was without sight, and he neither ate nor drank.
Et erat ibi tribus diebus non videns, et non manducavit, neque bibit.
10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “See, 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 The Lord said to him, “Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and at the house of Judas ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
Et Dominus ad eum: Surge, et vade in vicum, qui vocatur rectus: et quaere in domo Iudae Saulum nomine Tarsensem: ecce enim orat.
12 He has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, so that he might see again.”
(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 much harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem.
Respondit autem Ananias: Domine, audivi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala fecerit sanctis tuis in Ierusalem:
14 He has authority from the chief priests to arrest everyone here who calls upon your name.”
et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes, qui invocant nomen tuum.
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine, to carry 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 show him how much he must suffer for the cause of my name.”
Ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati.
17 So Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road when you were coming, has sent me so that you might receive your 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 Immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he received his sight; he arose and was baptized;
Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis eius tamquam squamae, et visum recepit: et surgens baptizatus est.
19 and he ate and was strengthened. He stayed with the disciples in Damascus for several days.
Et cum accepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis, qui erant Damasci, per dies aliquot.
20 Right away he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying that he is the Son of God.
Et continuo ingressus in synagogas praedicabat Iesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 All who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who destroyed those in Jerusalem who called on this name? He has come here to take 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 became more and more powerful, and he was causing distress among the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
Saulus autem multo magis convalescebat, et confundebat Iudaeos, qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic est Christus.
23 After many days, the Jews planned together to kill him.
Cum autem implerentur dies multi, consilium fecerunt in unum Iudaei ut eum interficerent.
24 But their plan became known to Saul. They watched the gates day and night in order to kill him.
Notae autem factae sunt Saulo insidiae 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 eius nocte, per murum dimiserunt eum, submittentes in sporta.
26 When he had come to Jerusalem, Saul attempted to join the disciples, but 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 he told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how at Damascus Saul had spoken boldly 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 He met with them as they were coming in and going out of Jerusalem. He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus
Et erat cum illis intrans, et exiens in Ierusalem, et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini.
29 and debated with the Grecian Jews; but they kept trying to kill him.
Loquebatur quoque Gentibus, et disputabat cum Graecis: illi autem quaerebant occidere eum.
30 When the brothers learned of this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
Quod cum cognovissent fratres, deduxerunt eum Caesaream, et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 So then, the church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was built up; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, the church grew in numbers.
Ecclesia quidem per totam Iudaeam, et Galilaeam, et Samariam habebat pacem, et aedificabatur ambulans in timore Domini, et consolatione sancti Spiritus replebatur.
32 Now it came about that, as Peter went throughout the whole region, he came down also to the believers who lived in the town of Lydda.
Factum est autem, ut Petrus dum pertransiret universos, deveniret ad sanctos, qui habitabant Lyddae.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been in his bed for eight years, for he was paralyzed.
Invenit autem ibi hominem quendam, nomine Aeneam, ab annis octo iacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed,” and right away he got up.
Et ait illi Petrus: Aenea, sanet te Dominus Iesus Christus: surge, et sterne tibi. Et continuo surrexit.
35 So everyone who lived in Lydda and in Sharon saw the man and they turned to the Lord.
Et viderunt eum omnes, qui habitabant Lyddae, et Saronae: qui conversi sunt ad Dominum.
36 Now there was in Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated as “Dorcas.” This woman was full of good works and merciful deeds that she did for the poor.
In Ioppe autem fuit quaedam discipula, nomine Tabitha, quae interpretata dicitur Dorcas. Haec erat plena operibus bonis, et eleemosynis, quas faciebat.
37 It came about in those days that she fell sick and died; when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Factum est autem in diebus illis, ut infirmata moreretur. Quam cum lavissent, posuerunt eam in coenaculo.
38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, begging him, “Come to us without delay.”
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 Peter arose and went with them. When he had arrived, they brought him to the upper room, and all the widows stood by him weeping, showing him the coats and garments that Dorcas had made while she had been 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 Peter put them all out of the room, knelt down, and prayed; then, turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” Then 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 Peter then gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he called the believers and the widows, he presented her alive to them.
Dans autem illi manum, erexit eam. Et cum vocasset sanctos, et viduas, assignavit eam vivam.
42 This matter became known throughout all Joppa, and many people believed on the Lord.
Notum autem factum est per universam Ioppen: et crediderunt multi in Domino.
43 It happened that Peter stayed for many days in Joppa with a man named Simon, a tanner.
Factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe, apud Simonem quendam coriarium.
