Acts 4

1 And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees —

Loquentibus autem illis ad populum, supervenerunt sacerdotes, et magistratus templi, et sadducæi,

2 being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead —

dolentes quod docerent populum, et annuntiarent in Jesu resurrectionem ex mortuis:

3 and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, for it was evening already;

et injecerunt in eos manus, et posuerunt eos in custodiam in crastinum: erat enim jam vespera.

4 and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.

Multi autem eorum qui audierant verbum, crediderunt: et factus est numerus virorum quinque millia.

5 And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,

Factum est autem in crastinum, ut congregarentur principes eorum, et seniores, et scribæ, in Jerusalem:

6 and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief priest,

et Annas princeps sacerdotum, et Caiphas, et Joannes, et Alexander, et quotquot erant de genere sacerdotali.

7 and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, 'In what power, or in what name did ye do this?'

Et statuentes eos in medio, interrogabant: In qua virtute, aut in quo nomine fecistis hoc vos?

8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said unto them: 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

Tunc repletus Spiritu Sancto Petrus, dixit ad eos: Principes populi, et seniores, audite:

9 if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath been saved,

si nos hodie dijudicamur in benefacto hominis infirmi, in quo iste salvus factus est,

10 be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this one stood by before you whole.

notum sit omnibus vobis, et omni plebi Israël, quia in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Nazareni, quem vos crucifixistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, in hoc iste astat coram vobis sanus.

11 'This is the stone that was set at nought by you — the builders, that became head of a corner;

Hic est lapis qui reprobatus est a vobis ædificantibus, qui factus est in caput anguli:

12 and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth us to be saved.'

et non est in alio aliquo salus. Nec enim aliud nomen est sub cælo datum hominibus, in quo oporteat nos salvos fieri.

13 And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been —

Videntes autem Petri constantiam, et Joannis, comperto quod homines essent sine litteris, et idiotæ, admirabantur, et cognoscebant eos quoniam cum Jesu fuerant:

14 and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],

hominem quoque videntes stantem cum eis, qui curatus fuerat, nihil poterant contradicere.

15 and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim, they took counsel with one another,

Jusserunt autem eos foras extra concilium secedere: et conferebant ad invicem,

16 saying, 'What shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] manifest, and we are not able to deny [it];

dicentes: Quid faciemus hominibus istis? quoniam quidem notum signum factum est per eos omnibus habitantibus Jerusalem: manifestum est, et non possumus negare.

17 but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.'

Sed ne amplius divulgetur in populum, comminemur eis ne ultra loquantur in nomine hoc ulli hominum.

18 And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus,

Et vocantes eos, denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur neque docerent in nomine Jesu.

19 and Peter and John answering unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;

Petrus vero et Joannes respondentes, dixerunt ad eos: Si justum est in conspectu Dei vos potius audire quam Deum, judicate.

20 for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'

Non enim possumus quæ vidimus et audivimus non loqui.

21 And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,

At illi comminantes dimiserunt eos, non invenientes quomodo punirent eos propter populum: quia omnes clarificabant id quod factum fuerat in eo quod acciderat.

22 for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been done this sign of the healing.

Annorum enim erat amplius quadraginta homo, in quo factum fuerat signum istud sanitatis.

23 And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto them,

Dimissi autem venerunt ad suos, et annuntiaverunt eis quanta ad eos principes sacerdotum et seniores dixissent.

24 and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou [art] God, who didst make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,

Qui cum audissent, unanimiter levaverunt vocem ad Deum, et dixerunt: Domine, tu es qui fecisti cælum et terram, mare et omnia quæ in eis sunt:

25 who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?

qui Spiritu Sancto per os patris nostri David pueri tui dixisti: [Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania?

26 the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ;

Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus.]

27 for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,

Convenerunt enim vere in civitate ista adversus sanctum puerum tuum Jesum, quem unxisti, Herodes et Pontius Pilatus, cum gentibus et populis Israël,

28 to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine before to come to pass.

facere quæ manus tua et consilium tuum decreverunt fieri.

29 'And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,

Et nunc, Domine, respice in minas eorum, et da servis tuis cum omni fiducia loqui verbum tuum,

30 in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy holy child Jesus.'

in eo quod manum tuam extendas ad sanitates, et signa, et prodigia fieri per nomen sancti filii tui Jesu.

31 And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,

Et cum orassent, motus est locus in quo erant congregati: et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et loquebantur verbum Dei cum fiducia.

32 and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.

Multitudinis autem credentium erat cor unum et anima una: nec quisquam eorum quæ possidebat, aliquid suum esse dicebat, sed erant illis omnia communia.

33 And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all,

Et virtute magna reddebant Apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri: et gratia magna erat in omnibus illis.

34 for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,

Neque enim quisquam egens erat inter illos. Quotquot enim possessores agrorum aut domorum erant, vendentes afferebant pretia eorum quæ vendebant,

35 and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as any one had need.

et ponebant ante pedes Apostolorum. Dividebatur autem singulis prout cuique opus erat.

36 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas — which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort — a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,

Joseph autem, qui cognominatus est Barnabas ab Apostolis (quod est interpretatum, Filius consolationis), Levites, Cyprius genere,

37 a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.

cum haberet agrum, vendidit eum, et attulit pretium, et posuit ante pedes Apostolorum.
