Acts of the Apostles 9

KING JAMES BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,	1 Saulus autem, adhuc spirans minarum et caedis in discipulos Domini,accessit ad principem sacerdotum
2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto 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 journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:	3 Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaretDamasco; et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo,
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?	4 et cadens in terram audivitvocem dicentem sibi: “ Saul, Saul, quid me persequeris? ”.
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.	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? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.	6 Sedsurge et ingredere civitatem, et dicetur tibi quid te oporteat facere ”.
7 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing 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 earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.	8 Surrexit autem Saulus de terra; apertisqueoculis, nihil videbat; ad manus autem illum trahentes introduxerunt Damascum.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.	9 Et erat tribus diebus non videns et non manducavit neque bibit.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord 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 unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called 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 hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.	12 et vidit virum Ananiamnomine introeuntem et imponentem sibi manus, ut visum recipiat ”.
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at 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 call on thy name.	14 et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotumalligandi omnes, qui invocant nomen tuum ”.
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear 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 putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest 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 had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.	18 Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculiseius tamquam squamae, et visum recepit. Et surgens baptizatus est
19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.	19 et, cumaccepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis, qui erant Damasci, per dies aliquot;
20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.	20 et continuoin synagogis praedicabat Iesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto 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 the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.	22 Saulus autem magis convalescebatet confundebat Iudaeos, qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic estChristus.
23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:	23 Cum implerentur autem dies multi, consilium fecerunt Iudaei, ut euminterficerent;
24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.	24 notae autem factae sunt Saulo insidiae eorum. Custodiebantautem et portas die ac nocte, ut eum interficerent;
25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.	25 accipientes autemdiscipuli eius nocte per murum dimiserunt eum submittentes in sporta.
26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not 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 declared unto 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.	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 at Jerusalem.	28 Et erat cum illis intrans et exiens in Ierusalem, fiducialiter agens innomine Domini.
29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.	29 Loquebatur quoque et disputabat cum Graecis; illi autemquaerebant occidere eum.
30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.	30 Quod cum cognovissent, fratres deduxerunt eumCaesaream et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.	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, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.	32 Factum est autem Petrum, dum pertransiret universos, devenire et ad sanctos,qui habitabant Lyddae.
33 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.	33 Invenit autem ibi hominem quendam nomine Aeneam abannis octo iacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.	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, and turned to the Lord.	35 Et viderunt illum omnes, qui inhabitabant Lyddam et Saron, qui conversi suntad Dominum.
36 Now there was at Joppa 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 Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to 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 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with 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 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw 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 he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.	41 Dans autem illi manum erexit eam et, cum vocassetsanctos et viduas, exhibuit eam vivam.
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; 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 tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.	43 Factum est autem, ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe apud quendam Simonemcoriarium.
