Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Saulus autem adhuc spirans minarum et cædis in discipulos Domini, accessit ad principem sacerdotum,
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of 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 hujus viæ viros ac mulieres, vinctos perduceret in Jerusalem.
3 As he travelled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaret Damasco: et subito circumfulsit eum lux de cælo.
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
Et cadens in terram audivit vocem dicentem sibi: Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris?
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
Qui dixit: Quis es, domine? Et ille: Ego sum Jesus, quem tu persequeris: durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare.
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told 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 travelled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, 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 his eyes were opened, he saw no one. 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 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Et erat ibi tribus diebus non videns, et non manducavit, neque bibit.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Hananiah. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Hananiah!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, 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 enquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
Et Dominus ad eum: Surge, et vade in vicum qui vocatur Rectus: et quære in domo Judæ Saulum nomine Tarsensem: ecce enim orat.
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Hananiah coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
(Et vidit virum Ananiam nomine, introëuntem, et imponentem sibi manus ut visum recipiat.)
13 But Hananiah answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your holy ones at Jerusalem.
Respondit autem Ananias: Domine, audivi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala fecerit sanctis tuis in Jerusalem:
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotum alligandi omnes qui invocant nomen tuum.
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations 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 show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
Ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pro nomine meo pati.
17 Hananiah departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may 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 Jesus, qui apparuit tibi in via qua veniebas, ut videas, et implearis Spiritu Sancto.
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was immersed.
Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculis ejus tamquam squamæ, et visum recepit: et surgens baptizatus est.
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Et cum accepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis qui erant Damasci per dies aliquot.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Messiah, that he is the Son of God.
Et continuo in synagogis prædicabat Jesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before 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 increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Messiah.
Saulus autem multo magis convalescebat, et confundebat Judæos qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic est Christus.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Cum autem implerentur dies multi, consilium fecerunt in unum Judæi ut eum interficerent.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Notæ autem factæ sunt Saulo insidiæ 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 nocte, per murum dimiserunt eum, submittentes in sporta.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but 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 him and brought him to the emissaries, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Yeshua.
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 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
Et erat cum illis intrans et exiens in Jerusalem, et fiducialiter agens in nomine Domini.
29 proclaiming boldly in the name of the Lord Yeshua. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Loquebatur quoque gentibus, et disputabat cum Græcis: illi autem quærebant occidere eum.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Quod cum cognovissent fratres, deduxerunt eum Cæsaream, et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Ecclesia quidem per totam Judæam, et Galilæam, et Samariam habebat pacem, et ædificabatur ambulans in timore Domini, et consolatione Sancti Spiritus replebatur.
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the holy ones who lived at Lydda.
Factum est autem, ut Petrus dum pertransiret universos, deveniret ad sanctos qui habitabant Lyddæ.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralysed.
Invenit autem ibi hominem quemdam, nomine Æneam, ab annis octo jacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Yeshua the Messiah heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
Et ait illi Petrus: Ænea, sanat te Dominus Jesus Christus: surge, et sterne tibi. Et continuo surrexit.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Et viderunt eum omnes qui habitabant Lyddæ et Saronæ: qui conversi sunt ad Dominum.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tavita, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
In Joppe autem fuit quædam discipula, nomine Tabitha, quæ interpretata dicitur Dorcas. Hæc erat plena operibus bonis et eleemosynis quas faciebat.
37 In those days, she became 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 cœnaculo.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming 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 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while 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 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tavita, get up!” 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 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the holy ones and widows, he presented her alive.
Dans autem illi manum, erexit eam. Et cum vocasset sanctos et viduas, assignavit eam vivam.
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Notum autem factum est per universam Joppen: et crediderunt multi in Domino.
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Factum est autem ut dies multos moraretur in Joppe, apud Simonem quemdam coriarium.
