Atti degli Apostoli 11

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Audierunt autem apostoli et fratres, qui erant in Iudaea, quoniam etgentes receperunt verbum Dei.	1 And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2 Cum ascendisset autem Petrus in Ierusalem,disceptabant adversus illum, qui erant ex circumcisione,	2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 dicentes: “Introisti ad viros praeputium habentes et manducasti cum illis! ”.	3 Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them?
4 Incipiens autem Petrus exponebat illis ex ordine dicens:	4 But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying:
5 “ Ego eram incivitate Ioppe orans et vidi in excessu mentis visionem, descendens vas quoddamvelut linteum magnum quattuor initiis submitti de caelo et venit usque ad me;	5 I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto me.
6 in quod intuens considerabam et vidi quadrupedia terrae et bestias et reptiliaet volatilia caeli.	6 Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:
7 Audivi autem et vocem dicentem mihi: “Surgens, Petre,occide et manduca!”.	7 And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
8 Dixi autem: Nequaquam, Domine, quia commune autimmundum numquam introivit in os meum.	8 And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.
9 Respondit autem vox secundo de caelo:“Quae Deus mundavit, tu ne commune dixeris”.	9 And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.
10 Hoc autem factum est perter, et retracta sunt rursum omnia in caelum.	10 And this was done three times: and all were taken up again into heaven.
11 Et ecce confestim tres viriastiterunt in domo, in qua eramus, missi a Caesarea ad me.	11 And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12 Dixit autemSpiritus mihi, ut irem cum illis nihil haesitans. Venerunt autem mecum et sexfratres isti, et ingressi sumus in domum viri.	12 And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: and we entered into the man's house.
13 Narravit autem nobis quomodovidisset angelum ad domum suam stantem et dicentem: “Mitte in Ioppen etaccersi Simonem, qui cognominatur Petrus,	13 And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing, and saying to him: Send to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14 qui loquetur tibi verba, in quibussalvus eris tu et universa domus tua”.	14 Who shall speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
15 Cum autem coepissem loqui, deciditSpiritus Sanctus super eos, sicut et super nos in initio.	15 And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning.
16 Recordatus sumautem verbi Domini, sicut dicebat: “Ioannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autembaptizabimini in Spiritu Sancto”.	16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Si ergo aequale donum dedit illis Deussicut et nobis, qui credidimus in Dominum Iesum Christum, ego quis eram quipossem prohibere Deum? ”.	17 If then God gave them the same grace, as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, that could withstand God?
18 His autem auditis, acquieverunt et glorificaverunt Deum dicentes: “ Ergo etgentibus Deus paenitentiam ad vitam dedit ”.	18 Having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.
19 Et illi quidem, qui dispersi fuerant a tribulatione, quae facta fuerat subStephano, perambulaverunt usque Phoenicen et Cyprum et Antiochiam, neminiloquentes verbum; nisi solis Iudaeis.	19 Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen, went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only.
20 Erant autem quidam ex eis viri Cypriiet Cyrenaei, qui, cum introissent Antiochiam, loquebantur et ad Graecosevangelizantes Dominum Iesum.	20 But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were entered into Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 Et erat manus Domini cum eis; multusque numeruscredentium conversus est ad Dominum.	21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord.
22 Auditus est autem sermo in auribus ecclesiae, quae erat in Ierusalem, superistis, et miserunt Barnabam usque Antiochiam;	22 And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
23 qui cum pervenisset et vidissetgratiam Dei, gavisus est et hortabatur omnes proposito cordis permanere inDomino,	23 Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord.
24 quia erat vir bonus et plenus Spiritu Sancto et fide. Et apposita estturba multa Domino.	24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Profectus est autem Tarsum, ut quaereret Saulum;	25 And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch.
26 quemcum invenisset, perduxit Antiochiam. Factum est autem eis, ut annum totumconversarentur in ecclesia et docerent turbam multam, et cognominarentur primumAntiochiae discipuli Christiani.	26 And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.
27 In his autem diebus supervenerunt ab Hierosolymis prophetae Antiochiam;	27 And in these days there came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch:
28 etsurgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus significavit per Spiritum famem magnam futuramin universo orbe terrarum; quae facta est sub Claudio.	28 And one of them named Agabus, rising up, signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over the whole world, which came to pass under Claudius.
29 Discipuli autem, proutquis habebat, proposuerunt singuli eorum in ministerium mittere habitantibus inIudaea fratribus;	29 And the disciples, every man according to his ability, purposed to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea:
30 quod et fecerunt, mittentes ad presbyteros per manumBarnabae et Sauli.	30 Which also they did, sending it to the ancients, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
