< Actuum Apostolorum 3 >
1 Petrus autem, et Ioannes ascendebant in templum ad horam orationis nonam.
And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [which is] the ninth [hour];
2 Et quidam vir, qui erat claudus ex utero matris suæ, baiulabatur: quem ponebant quotidie ad portam templi, quæ dicitur Speciosa, ut peteret eleemosynam ab introeuntibus in templum.
and a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they placed every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were going into the temple;
3 Is cum vidisset Petrum, et Ioannem incipientes introire in templum, rogabat ut eleemosynam acciperet.
who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.
4 Intuens autem in eum Petrus cum Ioanne, dixit: Respice in nos.
And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 At ille intendebat in eos, sperans se aliquid accepturum ab eis.
And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Petrus autem dixit: Argentum et aurum non est mihi: quod autem habeo, hoc tibi do: In nomine Iesu Christi Nazareni surge, et ambula.
But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.
7 Et apprehensa manu eius dextera, allevavit eum, et protinus consolidatæ sunt bases eius, et plantæ.
And having taken hold of him [by] the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong.
8 Et exiliens stetit, et ambulabat: et intravit cum illis in templum ambulans, et exiliens, et laudans Deum.
And leaping up he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Et vidit omnis populus eum ambulantem, et laudantem Deum.
And all the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 Cognoscebant autem illum, quod ipse erat, qui ad eleemosynam sedebat ad Speciosam portam templi: et impleti sunt stupore et extasi in eo, quod contingerat illi.
and they recognised him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Cum teneret autem Petrum, et Ioannem, cucurrit omnis populus ad eos ad porticum, quæ appellatur Salomonis, stupentes.
And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12 Videns autem Petrus, respondit ad populum: Viri Israelitæ quid miramini in hoc, aut nos quid intuemini, quasi nostra virtute aut potestate fecerimus hunc ambulare?
And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?
13 Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Iacob, Deus patrum nostrorum glorificavit Filium suum Iesum, quem vos quidem tradidistis, et negastis ante faciem Pilati, iudicante illo dimitti.
The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.
14 Vos autem Sanctum, et Iustum negastis, et petistis virum homicidam donari vobis:
But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;
15 Auctorem vero vitæ interfecistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, cuius nos testes sumus.
but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [the] dead, whereof we are witnesses.
16 Et in fide nominis eius, hunc, quem vos vidistis, et nostis, confirmavit nomen eius: et fides, quæ per eum est, dedit integram sanitatem istam in conspectu omnium vestrum.
And, by faith in his name, his name has made this [man] strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.
17 Et nunc fratres scio quia per ignorantiam fecistis, sicut et principes vestri.
And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;
18 Deus autem, quæ prænunciavit per os omnium Prophetarum, pati Christum suum, sic implevit.
but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
19 Pœnitemini igitur, et convertimini ut deleantur peccata vestra:
Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord,
20 ut cum venerint tempora refrigerii a conspectu Domini, et miserit eum, qui prædicatus est vobis, Iesum Christum,
and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,
21 quem oportet quidem cælum suscipere usque in tempora restitutionis omnium, quæ locutus est Deus per os sanctorum suorum a sæculo Prophetarum. (aiōn )
whom heaven indeed must receive till [the] times of [the] restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began. (aiōn )
22 Moyses quidem dixit: Quoniam Prophetam suscitabit vobis Dominus Deus vester de fratribus vestris, tamquam me, ipsum audietis iuxta omnia quæcumque locutus fuerit vobis.
Moses indeed said, A prophet shall [the] Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.
23 Erit autem: omnis anima, quæ non audierit Prophetam illum, exterminabitur de plebe.
And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Et omnes prophetæ a Samuel, et deinceps, qui locuti sunt, annunciaverunt dies istos.
And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after [him], as many as have spoken, have announced also these days.
25 Vos estis filii prophetarum et testamenti, quod disposuit Deus ad patres nostros, dicens ad Abraham: Et in semine tuo benedicentur omnes familiæ terræ.
Ye are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God appointed to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
26 Vobis primum Deus suscitans Filium suum, misit eum benedicentem vobis: ut convertat se unusquisque a nequitia sua.
To you first God, having raised up his servant, has sent him, blessing you in turning each one [of you] from your wickedness.
