Actuum Apostolorum 9
1 Saulus autem adhuc inspirans minarum et caedis in discipulos Domini accessit ad principem sacerdotum
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 et petiit ab eo epistulas in Damascum ad synagogas ut si quos invenisset huius viae viros ac mulieres vinctos perduceret in Hierusalem
And desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he should find any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 et cum iter faceret contigit ut adpropinquaret Damasco et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined around him a light from heaven:
4 et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi Saule Saule quid me persequeris
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 qui dixit quis es Domine et ille ego sum Iesus quem tu persequeris
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. [It is] hard for thee to kick against the goads.
6 sed surge et ingredere civitatem et dicetur tibi quid te oporteat facere
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 viri autem illi qui comitabantur cum eo stabant stupefacti audientes quidem vocem neminem autem videntes
And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 surrexit autem Saulus de terra apertisque oculis nihil videbat ad manus autem illum trahentes introduxerunt Damascum
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought [him] into Damascus.
9 et erat tribus diebus non videns et non manducavit neque bibit
And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
10 erat autem quidam discipulus Damasci nomine Ananias et dixit ad illum in visu Dominus Anania at ille ait ecce ego Domine
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
11 et Dominus ad illum surgens vade in vicum qui vocatur Rectus et quaere in domo Iudae Saulum nomine Tarsensem ecce enim orat
And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,
12 et vidit virum Ananiam nomine introeuntem et inponentem sibi manus ut visum recipiat
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 respondit autem Ananias Domine audivi a multis de viro hoc quanta mala sanctis tuis fecerit in Hierusalem
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes qui invocant nomen tuum
And here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all that call on thy name.
15 dixit autem ad eum Dominus vade quoniam vas electionis est mihi iste ut portet nomen meum coram gentibus et regibus et filiis Israhel
But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati
For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17 et abiit Ananias et introivit in domum et inponens ei manus dixit Saule frater Dominus misit me Iesus qui apparuit tibi in via qua veniebas ut videas et implearis Spiritu Sancto
And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord ([even] Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis eius tamquam squamae et visum recepit et surgens baptizatus est
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 et cum accepisset cibum confortatus est fuit autem cum discipulis qui erant Damasci per dies aliquot
And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 et continuo in synagogis praedicabat Iesum quoniam hic est Filius Dei
And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 stupebant autem omnes qui audiebant et dicebant nonne hic est qui expugnabat in Hierusalem eos qui invocabant nomen istud et huc ad hoc venit ut vinctos illos duceret ad principes sacerdotum
But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
22 Saulus autem magis convalescebat et confundebat Iudaeos qui habitabant Damasci adfirmans quoniam hic est Christus
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 cum implerentur autem dies multi consilium fecerunt Iudaei ut eum interficerent
And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.
24 notae autem factae sunt Saulo insidiae eorum custodiebant autem et portas die ac nocte ut eum interficerent
But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 accipientes autem discipuli eius nocte per murum dimiserunt eum submittentes in sporta
Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall in a basket.
26 cum autem venisset in Hierusalem temptabat iungere se discipulis et omnes timebant eum non credentes quia esset discipulus
And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27 Barnabas autem adprehensum 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
But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 et erat cum illis intrans et exiens in Hierusalem et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 loquebatur quoque et disputabat cum Graecis illi autem quaerebant occidere eum
And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 quod cum cognovissent fratres deduxerunt eum Caesaream et dimiserunt Tarsum
[Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 ecclesia quidem per totam Iudaeam et Galilaeam et Samariam habebat pacem et aedificabatur ambulans in timore Domini et consolatione Sancti Spiritus replebatur
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.
32 factum est autem Petrum dum pertransiret universos devenire et ad sanctos qui habitabant Lyddae
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
33 invenit autem ibi hominem quendam nomine Aeneam ab annis octo iacentem in grabatto qui erat paralyticus
And there he found a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, and was sick with the palsy.
34 et ait illi Petrus Aeneas sanat te Iesus Christus surge et sterne tibi et continuo surrexit
And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 et viderunt illum omnes qui habitabant Lyddae et Saronae qui conversi sunt ad Dominum
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36 in Ioppe autem fuit quaedam discipula nomine Tabitas quae interpretata dicitur Dorcas haec erat plena operibus bonis et elemosynis quas faciebat
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
37 factum est autem in diebus illis ut infirmata moreretur quam cum lavissent posuerunt eam in cenaculo
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom, when they had washed, they laid in an upper chamber.
38 cum autem prope esset Lydda ab Ioppe discipuli audientes quia Petrus esset in ea miserunt duos viros ad eum rogantes ne pigriteris venire usque ad nos
And as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to them.
39 exsurgens autem Petrus venit cum illis et cum advenisset duxerunt illum in cenaculum et circumsteterunt illum omnes viduae flentes et ostendentes tunicas et vestes quas faciebat illis Dorcas
Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 eiectis autem omnibus foras Petrus ponens genua oravit et conversus ad corpus dixit Tabita surge at illa aperuit oculos suos et viso Petro resedit
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 dans autem illi manum erexit eam et cum vocasset sanctos et viduas adsignavit eam vivam
And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42 notum autem factum est per universam Ioppen et crediderunt multi in Domino
And it was known throughout all Joppa: and many believed in the Lord.
43 factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe apud quendam Simonem coriarium
And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
