Acts of the Apostles 9

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 And Saul, as yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,	1 Saulus autem, adhuc spirans minarum et caedis in discipulos Domini,accessit ad principem sacerdotum
2 And asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues: that if he found any men and wemen of this way, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.	2 et petiit ab eo epistulas in Damascum adsynagogas, ut, si quos invenisset huius viae viros ac mulieres, vinctosperduceret in Ierusalem.
3 And as he went on his journey, it came to pass that he drew nigh to Damascus; and suddenly a light from heaven shined round about him.	3 Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaretDamasco; et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo,
4 And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?	4 et cadens in terram audivitvocem dicentem sibi: “ Saul, Saul, quid me persequeris? ”.
5 Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.	5 Qui dixit: “Quis es, Domine? ”. Et ille: “ Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris!
6 And he trembling and astonished, said: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?	6 Sedsurge et ingredere civitatem, et dicetur tibi quid te oporteat facere ”.
7 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the city, and there it shall be told thee what thou must do. Now the men who went in company with him, stood amazed, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.	7 Viri autem illi, qui comitabantur cum eo, stabant stupefacti, audientes quidemvocem, neminem autem videntes.
8 And Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. But they leading him by the hands, brought him to Damascus.	8 Surrexit autem Saulus de terra; apertisqueoculis, nihil videbat; ad manus autem illum trahentes introduxerunt Damascum.
9 And he was there three days, without sight, and he did neither eat nor drink.	9 Et erat 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.	10 Erat autem quidam discipulus Damasci nomine Ananias; et dixit ad illum invisu Dominus: “ Anania ”. At ille ait: “ Ecce ego, Domine ”.
11 And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Stait, and seek in the house of Judas, one named Saul of Tarsus. For behold he prayeth.	11 EtDominus ad illum: “ Surgens vade in vicum, qui vocatur Rectus, et quaere indomo Iudae Saulum nomine Tarsensem; ecce enim orat
12 (And he saw a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hands upon him, that he might receive his sight.)	12 et vidit virum Ananiamnomine introeuntem et imponentem sibi manus, ut visum recipiat ”.
13 But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints in Jerusalem.	13 Responditautem Ananias: “ Domine, audivi a multis de viro hoc, quanta mala sanctis tuisfecerit in Ierusalem;
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke thy name.	14 et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotumalligandi omnes, qui invocant nomen tuum ”.
15 And the Lord said to him: Go thy way; for this man is to me a vessel of election, to carry my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.	15 Dixit autem ad eum Dominus: “Vade, quoniam vas electionis est mihi iste, ut portet nomen meum coram gentibuset regibus et filiis Israel;
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.	16 ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pronomine meo pati ”.
17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house. And laying his hands upon him, he said: Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus hath sent me, he that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest; that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.	17 Et abiit Ananias; et introivit in domum et imponens ei manus dixit: “ Saulfrater, Dominus misit me, Iesus qui apparuit tibi in via, qua veniebas, utvideas et implearis Spiritu Sancto ”.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and rising up, he was baptized.	18 Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculiseius tamquam squamae, et visum recepit. Et surgens baptizatus est
19 And when he had taken meat, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples that were at Damascus, for some days.	19 et, cumaccepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis, qui erant Damasci, per dies aliquot;
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.	20 et continuoin synagogis praedicabat Iesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 And all that heard him, were astonished, and said: Is not this he who persecuted in Jerusalem those that called upon this name: and came hither for that intent, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?	21 Stupebant autemomnes, qui audiebant, et dicebant: “ Nonne hic est, qui expugnabat inIerusalem eos, qui invocabant nomen istud, et huc ad hoc venerat, ut vinctosillos duceret ad principes sacerdotum? ”.
22 But Saul increased much more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, affirming that this is the Christ.	22 Saulus autem magis convalescebatet confundebat Iudaeos, qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic estChristus.
23 And when many days were passed, the Jews consulted together to kill him.	23 Cum implerentur autem dies multi, consilium fecerunt Iudaei, ut euminterficerent;
24 But their laying in wait was made known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night, that they might kill him.	24 notae autem factae sunt Saulo insidiae eorum. Custodiebantautem et portas die ac nocte, ut eum interficerent;
25 But the disciples taking him in the night, conveyed him away by the wall, letting him down in a basket.	25 accipientes autemdiscipuli eius nocte per murum dimiserunt eum submittentes in sporta.
26 And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples; and they all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.	26 Cum autem venisset in Ierusalem, tentabat iungere se discipulis; et omnestimebant eum, non credentes quia esset discipulus.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him; and how in Damascus he had dealt confidently in the name of Jesus.	27 Barnabas autem apprehensumillum duxit ad apostolos et narravit illis quomodo in via vidisset Dominum, etquia locutus est ei, et quomodo in Damasco fiducialiter egerit in nomine Iesu.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, and dealing confidently in the name of the Lord.	28 Et erat cum illis intrans et exiens in Ierusalem, fiducialiter agens innomine Domini.
29 He spoke also to the Gentiles, and disputed with the Greeks; but they sought to kill him.	29 Loquebatur quoque et disputabat cum Graecis; illi autemquaerebant occidere eum.
30 Which when the brethren had known, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.	30 Quod cum cognovissent, fratres deduxerunt eumCaesaream et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 Now the church had peace throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria; and was edified, walking in the fear of the Lord, and was filled with the consolation of the Holy Ghost.	31 Ecclesia quidem per totam Iudaeam et Galilaeam et Samariam habebat pacem;aedificabatur et ambulabat in timore Domini et consolatione Sancti Spirituscrescebat.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, as he passed through, visiting all, came to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.	32 Factum est autem Petrum, dum pertransiret universos, devenire et ad sanctos,qui habitabant Lyddae.
33 And he found there a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed for eight years, who was ill of the palsy.	33 Invenit autem ibi hominem quendam nomine Aeneam abannis octo iacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 And Peter said to him: Eneas, the Lord Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And immediately he arose.	34 Et ait illi Petrus: “Aenea, sanat te Iesus Christus; surge et sterne tibi ”. Et continuo surrexit.
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him: who were converted to the Lord.	35 Et viderunt illum omnes, qui inhabitabant Lyddam et Saron, qui conversi suntad Dominum.
36 And in Joppe there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.	36 In Ioppe autem erat quaedam discipula nomine Tabitha, quae interpretatadicitur Dorcas; haec erat plena operibus bonis et eleemosynis, quas faciebat.
37 And it came to pass in those days that she was sick, and died. Whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.	37 Factum est autem in diebus illis ut infirmata moreretur; quam cum lavissent,posuerunt in cenaculo.
38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppe, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not be slack to come unto them.	38 Cum autem prope esset Lydda ab Ioppe, discipuliaudientes quia Petrus esset in ea, miserunt duos viros ad eum rogantes: “ Nepigriteris venire usque ad nos! ”.
39 And Peter rising up, went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood about him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made them.	39 Exsurgens autem Petrus venit cum illis;et cum advenisset, duxerunt illum in cenaculum; et circumsteterunt illum omnesviduae flentes et ostendentes tunicas et vestes, quas faciebat Dorcas, cum essetcum illis.
40 And they all being put forth, Peter kneeling down prayed, and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.	40 Eiectis autem omnibus foras Petrus, et ponens genua oravit etconversus ad corpus dixit: “ Tabitha, surge! ”. At illa aperuit oculos suoset, viso Petro, resedit.
41 And giving her his hand, he lifted her up. And when he had called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.	41 Dans autem illi manum erexit eam et, cum vocassetsanctos et viduas, exhibuit eam vivam.
42 And it was made known throughout all Joppe; and many believed in the Lord.	42 Notum autem factum est per universam Ioppen, et crediderunt multi in Domino.
43 And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppe, with one Simon a tanner.	43 Factum est autem, ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe apud quendam Simonemcoriarium.
