Acts of the Apostles 9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder 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 him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, 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 Now as he journeyed he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him.	3 Et cum iter faceret, contigit ut appropinquaretDamasco; et subito circumfulsit eum lux de caelo,
4 And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"	4 et cadens in terram audivitvocem dicentem sibi: “ Saul, Saul, quid me persequeris? ”.
5 And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;	5 Qui dixit: “Quis es, Domine? ”. Et ille: “ Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris!
6 but rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do."	6 Sedsurge et ingredere civitatem, et dicetur tibi quid te oporteat facere ”.
7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.	7 Viri autem illi, qui comitabantur cum eo, stabant stupefacti, audientes quidemvocem, neminem autem videntes.
8 Saul arose from the ground; and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so 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 for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.	9 Et erat tribus diebus non videns et non manducavit neque bibit.
10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Here I am, 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, "Rise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying,	11 EtDominus ad illum: “ Surgens vade in vicum, qui vocatur Rectus, et quaere indomo Iudae Saulum nomine Tarsensem; ecce enim orat
12 and he has seen a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight."	12 et vidit virum Ananiamnomine introeuntem et imponentem sibi manus, ut visum recipiat ”.
13 But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has 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 has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name."	14 et hic habet potestatem a principibus sacerdotumalligandi omnes, qui invocant nomen tuum ”.
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons 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 show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name."	16 ego enim ostendam illi quanta oporteat eum pronomine meo pati ”.
17 So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."	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 something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,	18 Et confestim ceciderunt ab oculiseius tamquam squamae, et visum recepit. Et surgens baptizatus est
19 and took food and was strengthened. For several days he was with the disciples at Damascus.	19 et, cumaccepisset cibum, confortatus est. Fuit autem cum discipulis, qui erant Damasci, per dies aliquot;
20 And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, "He is the Son of God."	20 et continuoin synagogis praedicabat Iesum, quoniam hic est Filius Dei.
21 And all who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before 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 all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.	22 Saulus autem magis convalescebatet confundebat Iudaeos, qui habitabant Damasci, affirmans quoniam hic estChristus.
23 When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him,	23 Cum implerentur autem dies multi, consilium fecerunt Iudaei, ut euminterficerent;
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching 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 but his disciples took him by night and let him down over the wall, lowering him in a basket.	25 accipientes autemdiscipuli eius nocte per murum dimiserunt eum submittentes in sporta.
26 And when he had come to Jerusalem he attempted to join the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe 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 to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly 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 So he went in and out among them at Jerusalem,	28 Et erat cum illis intrans et exiens in Ierusalem, fiducialiter agens innomine Domini.
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists; but they were seeking to kill him.	29 Loquebatur quoque et disputabat cum Graecis; illi autemquaerebant occidere eum.
30 And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.	30 Quod cum cognovissent, fratres deduxerunt eumCaesaream et dimiserunt Tarsum.
31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was built up; and walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit it was multiplied.	31 Ecclesia quidem per totam Iudaeam et Galilaeam et Samariam habebat pacem;aedificabatur et ambulabat in timore Domini et consolatione Sancti Spirituscrescebat.
32 Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints that lived at Lydda.	32 Factum est autem Petrum, dum pertransiret universos, devenire et ad sanctos,qui habitabant Lyddae.
33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years and was paralyzed.	33 Invenit autem ibi hominem quendam nomine Aeneam abannis octo iacentem in grabato, qui erat paralyticus.
34 And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose.	34 Et ait illi Petrus: “Aenea, sanat te Iesus Christus; surge et sterne tibi ”. Et continuo surrexit.
35 And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they 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 disciple named Tabitha, which means Dorcas. She was full of good works and acts of charity.	36 In Ioppe autem erat quaedam discipula nomine Tabitha, quae interpretatadicitur Dorcas; haec erat plena operibus bonis et eleemosynis, quas faciebat.
37 In those days she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.	37 Factum est autem in diebus illis ut infirmata moreretur; quam cum lavissent,posuerunt in cenaculo.
38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him entreating him, "Please come to us without delay."	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 So Peter rose and went with them. And when he had come, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him weeping, and showing tunics and other 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 outside and knelt down and prayed; then turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, rise." 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. Then calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.	41 Dans autem illi manum erexit eam et, cum vocassetsanctos et viduas, exhibuit eam vivam.
42 And it became 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 he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a tanner.	43 Factum est autem, ut dies multos moraretur in Ioppe apud quendam Simonemcoriarium.
