Actuum Apostolorum 11
1 Audierunt autem Apostoli et fratres qui erant in Judæa, quoniam et gentes receperunt verbum Dei.
But the apostles and brethren being throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also received the word of God.
2 Cum autem ascendisset Petrus Jerosolymam, disceptabant adversus illum qui erant ex circumcisione,
And when Peter went tip to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision interviewed him, say
3 dicentes: Quare introisti ad viros præputium habentes, et manducasti cum illis?
that, You went in unto men having uncircumcision, and ate with them.
4 Incipiens autem Petrus exponebat illis ordinem, dicens:
And Peter beginning expounded unto them consecutively, saying,
5 Ego eram in civitate Joppe orans, et vidi in excessu mentis visionem, descendens vas quoddam velut linteum magnum quatuor initiis summitti de cælo, et venit usque ad me.
I was praying in the city Joppa: and I saw a vision in an ecstasy, A certain vessel, like a great sheet, descending from the heaven, sitting down by four rope ends; and came even unto me:
6 In quod intuens considerabam, et vidi quadrupedia terræ, et bestias, et reptilia, et volatilia cæli.
into which looking, I was investigating, and I saw quadrupeds of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and the birds of the heaven.
7 Audivi autem et vocem dicentem mihi: Surge, Petre: occide, et manduca.
And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arising, Peter; slay and eat.
8 Dixi autem: Nequaquam Domine: quia commune aut immundum numquam introivit in os meum.
And I said, By no means, Lord: because nothing unconsecrated or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.
9 Respondit autem vox secundo de cælo: Quæ Deus mundavit, tu ne commune dixeris.
And a voice a second time was heard from heaven, Whatsoever things God has cleansed, consider thou not unconsecrated.
10 Hoc autem factum est per ter: et recepta sunt omnia rursum in cælum.
And this took place three times: and all things were again taken up into the heaven.
11 Et ecce viri tres confestim astiterunt in domo in qua eram, missi a Cæsarea ad me.
And, behold, immediately three men were standing at the house in which we were, having been sent to me from Cornelius.
12 Dixit autem Spiritus mihi ut irem cum illis, nihil hæsitans. Venerunt autem mecum et sex fratres isti, et ingressi sumus in domum viri.
And the Spirit said to me, to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brethren went along with me, and we entered into the house of the man.
13 Narravit autem nobis quomodo vidisset angelum in domo sua, stantem et dicentem sibi: Mitte in Joppen, et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus,
And he proclaimed to us how he saw an angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is called Peter;
14 qui loquetur tibi verba in quibus salvus eris tu, et universa domus tua.
who will speak words to you, by which you and your whole family may be saved.
15 Cum autem cœpissem loqui, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super eos, sicut et in nos in initio.
And when I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
16 Recordatus sum autem verbi Domini, sicut dicebat: Joannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto.
And I remembered the word of the Lord, as He said, John indeed baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Si ergo eamdem gratiam dedit illis Deus, sicut et nobis qui credidimus in Dominum Jesum Christum: ego quis eram, qui possem prohibere Deum?
Since then God gave unto them the equal gift, as also unto us, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, to be able to resist God?
18 His auditis, tacuerunt: et glorificaverunt Deum, dicentes: Ergo et gentibus pœnitentiam dedit Deus ad vitam.
And hearing these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God, saying, Then God has also given unto the Gentiles repentance unto life.
19 Et illi quidem qui dispersi fuerant a tribulatione quæ facta fuerat sub Stephano, perambulaverunt usque Phœnicen, et Cyprum, et Antiochiam, nemini loquentes verbum, nisi solis Judæis.
Then indeed those having been dispersed abroad on account of the persecution prevailing over Stephen came through even to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews only.
20 Erant autem quidam ex eis viri Cyprii et Cyrenæi, qui cum introissent Antiochiam, loquebantur et ad Græcos, annuntiantes Dominum Jesum.
And of them there were certain Cyprian and Cyrenean men, who, having come into Antioch, were speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus.
21 Et erat manus Domini cum eis: multusque numerus credentium conversus est ad Dominum.
And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number having believed, turned to the Lord.
22 Pervenit autem sermo ad aures ecclesiæ quæ erat Jerosolymis super istis: et miserunt Barnabam usque ad Antiochiam.
And the word was heard in the ears of the church in Jerusalem concerning them: and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23 Qui cum pervenisset, et vidisset gratiam Dei, gavisus est: et hortabatur omnes in proposito cordis permanere in Domino:
Who, coming, and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and continued to exhort all, with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord:
24 quia erat vir bonus, et plenus Spiritu Sancto, et fide. Et apposita est multa turba Domino.
because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Profectus est autem Barnabas Tarsum, ut quæreret Saulum: quem cum invenisset, perduxit Antiochiam.
And he went away to Tarsus, to hunt up Saul: and having found him, led him to Antioch.
26 Et annum totum conversati sunt ibi in ecclesia: et docuerunt turbam multam, ita ut cognominarentur primum Antiochiæ discipuli, christiani.
And it happened unto them, a whole year indeed they assembled in the church, and taught a great multitude: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 In his autem diebus supervenerunt ab Jerosolymis prophetæ Antiochiam:
And during those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 et surgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus, significabat per spiritum famem magnam futuram in universo orbe terrarum, quæ facta est sub Claudio.
And one of them by name Agabus, standing up, signified through the Spirit that there is about to be a great famine throughout the whole world: which took place under the reign of Claudius.
29 Discipuli autem, prout quis habebat, proposuerunt singuli in ministerium mittere habitantibus in Judæa fratribus:
And they determined that each one of them should send to the ministry to the brethren dwelling in Judea, as each one of the disciples was prosperous;
30 quod et fecerunt, mittentes ad seniores per manus Barnabæ et Sauli.
and this they did, sending to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
