Acts 9
1 But Saul still breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest, and desired of him letters to the synagogues at Damascus,
Saulus autem adhuc spirans minarum et cædis in discipulos Domini, accessit ad principem sacerdotum,
2 that if he should find any of this persuasion, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
et petiit ab eo epistolas in Damascum ad synagogas: ut si quos invenisset hujus viæ viros ac mulieres, vinctos perduceret in Jerusalem.
3 And as he was on his journey, and came near to Damascus, suddenly there shone round about him a light from heaven;
Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaret Damasco: et subito circumfulsit eum lux de cælo.
4 and he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi: Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris?
5 And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou art persecuting: it is hard for thee to kick against the goads.
Qui dixit: Quis es, domine? Et ille: Ego sum Jesus, quem tu persequeris: durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee, what thou 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 And the men that went along with him, stood astonished, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Viri autem illi qui comitabantur cum eo, stabant stupefacti, audientes quidem vocem, neminem autem videntes.
8 And Saul rose from the earth, but when he opened his eyes he could not see: so they led him by the hand, and brought him to Damascus.
Surrexit autem Saulus de terra, apertisque oculis nihil videbat. Ad manus autem illum trahentes, introduxerunt Damascum.
9 And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.
Et erat ibi tribus diebus non videns, et non manducavit, neque bibit.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias, and he said, Behold, 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 And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the street which is called Strait, and enquire in the house of Judas for one Saul, of Tarsus:
Et Dominus ad eum: Surge, et vade in vicum qui vocatur Rectus: et quære in domo Judæ Saulum nomine Tarsensem: ecce enim orat.
12 for behold he is praying, and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand upon him, that he might recover his sight.
(Et vidit virum Ananiam nomine, introëuntem, et imponentem sibi manus ut visum recipiat.)
13 And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much mischief he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Respondit autem Ananias: Domine, audivi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala fecerit sanctis tuis in Jerusalem:
14 and here too he hath authority from the chief priests to apprehend all that call upon thy name.
et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes qui invocant nomen tuum.
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way, for he is the instrument I have chosen, to bear 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 Israël.
16 for I will shew him how great sufferings he must endure for my name.
Ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati.
17 And Ananias went away and came into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to thee on the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy 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 Jesus, qui apparuit tibi in via qua veniebas, ut videas, et implearis Spiritu Sancto.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales; and he instantly recovered his sight, and arose and was baptized.
Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis ejus tamquam squamæ, et visum recepit: et surgens baptizatus est.
19 And when he had taken some nourishment, he was strengthened. Now Saul was with the disciples at Damascus for some time.
Et cum accepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis qui erant Damasci per dies aliquot.
20 And he immediately preached Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Et continuo in synagogis prædicabat Jesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 But all that heard him, were amazed, and said, Is not this he that persecuted those in Jerusalem who called on this name, and came hither for this end, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
Stupebant autem omnes qui audiebant, et dicebant: Nonne hic est qui expugnabat in Jerusalem eos qui invocabant nomen istud: et huc ad hoc venit, ut vinctos illos duceret ad principes sacerdotum?
22 But Saul prevailed more and more, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, fully proving that this same Jesus is the Christ.
Saulus autem multo magis convalescebat, et confundebat Judæos qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic est Christus.
23 And after a considerable time, the Jews conspired to kill him:
Cum autem implerentur dies multi, consilium fecerunt in unum Judæi ut eum interficerent.
24 but Saul was apprised of their design. And they watched the gates day and night, to make away with him:
Notæ autem factæ sunt Saulo insidiæ eorum. Custodiebant autem et portas die ac nocte, ut eum interficerent.
25 but the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall, in a basket.
Accipientes autem eum discipuli nocte, per murum dimiserunt eum, submittentes in sporta.
26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Cum autem venisset in Jerusalem, tentabat se jungere discipulis, et omnes timebant eum, non credentes quod esset discipulus.
27 But Barnabas took and brought him to the apostles, and related 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.
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 Jesu.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem, and preaching openly in the name of the Lord Jesus:
Et erat cum illis intrans et exiens in Jerusalem, et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini.
29 and he talked and disputed with the Hellenists, who attempted to kill him:
Loquebatur quoque gentibus, et disputabat cum Græcis: illi autem quærebant occidere eum.
30 but when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
Quod cum cognovissent fratres, deduxerunt eum Cæsaream, et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 Then the churches throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had rest, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord; and through the consolation of the holy Spirit were multiplied.
Ecclesia quidem per totam Judæam, et Galilæam, et Samariam habebat pacem, et ædificabatur ambulans in timore Domini, et consolatione Sancti Spiritus replebatur.
32 And it came to pass that as Peter was going through all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.
Factum est autem, ut Petrus dum pertransiret universos, deveniret ad sanctos qui habitabant Lyddæ.
33 And there he found a man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, with the palsy.
Invenit autem ibi hominem quemdam, nomine Æneam, ab annis octo jacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 And Peter said unto him, Eneas, Jesus the Messiah, healeth thee. Arise, and make thy bed. And he rose up immediately.
Et ait illi Petrus: Ænea, sanat te Dominus Jesus Christus: surge, et sterne tibi. Et continuo surrexit.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
Et viderunt eum omnes qui habitabant Lyddæ et Saronæ: qui conversi sunt ad Dominum.
36 And there was at Joppa a certain female disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called in Greek Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms-deeds.
In Joppe autem fuit quædam discipula, nomine Tabitha, quæ interpretata dicitur Dorcas. Hæc erat plena operibus bonis et eleemosynis quas faciebat.
37 And it happened, about the same time, that she fell sick and died: and when they had washed her they laid her out in an upper chamber.
Factum est autem in diebus illis ut infirmata moreretur. Quam cum lavissent, posuerunt eam in cœnaculo.
38 And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there sent two men to him, intreating him that he would not delay to come to them.
Cum autem prope esset Lydda ad Joppen, discipuli, audientes quia Petrus esset in ea, miserunt duos viros ad eum, rogantes: Ne pigriteris venire ad nos.
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them: and when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood round him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made when she was with them.
Exsurgens autem Petrus, venit cum illis. Et cum advenisset, duxerunt illum in cœnaculum: et circumsteterunt illum omnes viduæ flentes, et ostendentes ei tunicas et vestes quas faciebat illis Dorcas.
40 But Peter, putting them all out, kneeled down and prayed: and then turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Ejectis autem omnibus foras, Petrus ponens genua oravit: et conversus ad corpus, dixit: Tabitha, surge. At illa aperuit oculos suos: et viso Petro, resedit.
41 And giving her his hand he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.
Dans autem illi manum, erexit eam. Et cum vocasset sanctos et viduas, assignavit eam vivam.
42 And it was soon known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
Notum autem factum est per universam Joppen: et crediderunt multi in Domino.
43 And he staid many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
Factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Joppe, apud Simonem quemdam coriarium.
