Acts of the Apostles 26

KING JAMES BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:	1 Agrippa vero ad Paulum ait: “ Permittitur tibi loqui pro temetipso ”.Tunc Paulus, extenta manu, coepit rationem reddere:
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:	2 “ De omnibus, quibusaccusor a Iudaeis, rex Agrippa, aestimo me beatum, apud te cum sim defensurus mehodie,
3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.	3 maxime te sciente omnia, quae apud Iudaeos sunt consuetudines etquaestiones; propter quod, obsecro, patienter me audias.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;	4 Et quidem vitam meama iuventute, quae ab initio fuit in gente mea et in Hierosolymis, noverunt omnesIudaei;
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.	5 praescientes me ab initio, si velint testimonium perhibere, quoniamsecundum diligentissimam sectam nostrae religionis vixi pharisaeus.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:	6 Et nuncpropter spem eius, quae ad patres nostros repromissionis facta est a Deo, stoiudicio subiectus,
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.	7 in quam duodecim tribus nostrae cum perseverantia nocte acdie deservientes sperant devenire; de qua spe accusor a Iudaeis, rex!
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?	8 Quidincredibile iudicatur apud vos, si Deus mortuos suscitat?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.	9 Et ego quidem existimaveram me adversus nomen Iesu Nazareni debere multacontraria agere;
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.	10 quod et feci Hierosolymis, et multos sanctorum ego incarceribus inclusi, a principibus sacerdotum potestate accepta, et cumocciderentur, detuli sententiam;
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.	11 et per omnes synagogas frequenter punienseos compellebam blasphemare, et abundantius insaniens in eos persequebar usquein exteras civitates.
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,	12 In quibus, dum irem Damascum cum potestate et permissu principum sacerdotum,
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.	13 die media in via vidi, rex, de caelo supra splendorem solis circumfulgens melumen et eos, qui mecum simul ibant;
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.	14 omnesque nos cum decidissemus in terram,audivi vocem loquentem mihi Hebraica lingua: “Saul, Saul, quid me persequeris?Durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare”.
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.	15 Ego autem dixi: “Quis es,Domine?”. Dominus autem dixit: “Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;	16 Sedexsurge et sta super pedes tuos; ad hoc enim apparui tibi, ut constituam teministrum et testem eorum, quae vidisti, et eorum, quibus apparebo tibi,
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,	17 eripiens te de populo et de gentibus, in quas ego mitto te
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.	18 aperire oculoseorum, ut convertantur a tenebris ad lucem et de potestate Satanae ad Deum, utaccipiant remissionem peccatorum et sortem inter sanctificatos per fidem, quaeest in me”.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:	19 Unde, rex Agrippa, non fui incredulus caelestis visionis,
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.	20 sed his, quisunt Damasci primum et Hierosolymis, et in omnem regionem Iudaeae et gentibusannuntiabam, ut paenitentiam agerent et converterentur ad Deum dignapaenitentiae opera facientes.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.	21 Hac ex causa me Iudaei, cum essem in templocomprehensum, tentabant interficere.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:	22 Auxilium igitur assecutus a Deo usque inhodiernum diem sto testificans minori atque maiori, nihil extra dicens quam ea,quae Prophetae sunt locuti futura esse et Moyses:
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.	23 si passibilis Christus, siprimus ex resurrectione mortuorum lumen annuntiaturus est populo et gentibus ”.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.	24 Sic autem eo rationem reddente, Festus magna voce dixit: “ Insanis, Paule;multae te litterae ad insaniam convertunt! ”.
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.	25 At Paulus: “ Non insanio,inquit, optime Feste, sed veritatis et sobrietatis verba eloquor.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.	26 Scit enimde his rex, ad quem et audenter loquor; latere enim eum nihil horum arbitror,neque enim in angulo hoc gestum est.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.	27 Credis, rex Agrippa, Prophetis? Scioquia credis ”.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.	28 Agrippa autem ad Paulum: “ In modico suades me Christianumfieri! ”.
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.	29 Et Paulus: “ Optarem apud Deum et in modico et in magno nontantum te sed et omnes hos, qui audiunt me hodie, fieri tales, qualis et egosum, exceptis vinculis his! ”.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:	30 Et exsurrexit rex et praeses et Berenice et qui assidebant eis;
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.	31 et cumsecessissent, loquebantur ad invicem dicentes: “ Nihil morte aut vinculisdignum quid facit homo iste ”.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.	32 Agrippa autem Festo dixit: “ Dimittipoterat homo hic, si non appellasset Caesarem ”.
