Et confestim cecidit in eum caligo et tenebrae, etcircumiens quaerebat, qui eum manum darent.	11 Even now the hand of the Lord is upon you. You will be blind, and unable to see the sun for a time."

28 et nullam causam mortis invenientes petierunt aPilato, ut interficeretur;	28 For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him put to death,
29 cumque consummassent omnia, quae de eo scriptaerant, deponentes eum de ligno posuerunt in monumento.	29 and when they had accomplished all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.
30 Deus vero suscitaviteum a mortuis;	30 But God raised him from the dead,
31 qui visus est per dies multos his, qui simul ascenderant cumeo de Galilaea in Ierusalem, qui nunc sunt testes eius ad plebem.	31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are (now) his witnesses before the people.

33 quoniam hanc Deus adimplevit filiis eorum, nobis resuscitans Iesum, sicut et inPsalmo secundo scriptum est: “Filius meus es tu; ego hodie genui te”.	33 he has brought to fulfillment for us, (their) children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you.'
34 Quod autem suscitaverit eum a mortuis, amplius iam non reversurum incorruptionem, ita dixit: “Dabo vobis sancta David fidelia”.	34 And that he raised him from the dead never to return to corruption he declared in this way, 'I shall give you the benefits assured to David.'
35 Ideoque et in alio dicit: “Non dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem”.	35 That is why he also says in another psalm, 'You will not suffer your holy one to see corruption.'
36 David enim sua generatione cum administrasset voluntati Dei, dormivit etappositus est ad patres suos et vidit corruptionem;	36 Now David, after he had served the will of God in his lifetime, fell asleep, was gathered to his ancestors, and did see corruption.
37 quem vero Deussuscitavit, non vidit corruptionem.	37 But the one whom God raised up did not see corruption.

41 “Videte, contemptores, et admiramini et disperdimini, quia opus operor ego in diebus vestris, opus, quod non credetis, si quis enarraverit vobis!” ”.	41 'Look on, you scoffers, be amazed and disappear. For I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will never believe even if someone tells you.'"
42 Exeuntibus autem illis, rogabant, ut sequenti sabbato loquerentur sibi verbahaec.	42 As they were leaving, they invited them to speak on these subjects the following sabbath.
43 Cumque dimissa esset synagoga, secuti sunt multi Iudaeorum et colentiumproselytorum Paulum et Barnabam, qui loquentes suadebant eis, ut permanerent ingratia Dei.	43 After the congregation had dispersed, many Jews and worshipers who were converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to remain faithful to the grace of God.
44 Sequenti vero sabbato paene universa civitas convenit audire verbum Domini.	44 On the following sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
45 Videntes autem turbas Iudaei, repleti sunt zelo; et contradicebant his, quaea Paulo dicebantur, blasphemantes.	45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said.
46 Tunc audenter Paulus et Barnabas dixerunt: “ Vobis oportebat primum loquiverbum Dei; sed quoniam repellitis illud et indignos vos iudicatis aeternaevitae, ecce convertimur ad gentes.	46 Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
47 Sic enim praecepit nobis Dominus: “Posui te in lumen gentium, ut sis in salutem usque ad extremum terrae” ”.	47 For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.'"
48 Audientes autem gentes gaudebant et glorificabant verbum Domini, etcrediderunt, quotquot erant praeordinati ad vitam aeternam;	48 The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. All who were destined for eternal life came to believe,
49 ferebatur autemverbum Domini per universam regionem.	49 and the word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region.
50 Iudaei autem concitaverunt honestasinter colentes mulieres et primos civitatis et excitaverunt persecutionem inPaulum et Barnabam et eiecerunt eos de finibus suis.	50 The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their territory.
51 At illi, excusso pulverepedum in eos, venerunt Iconium;	51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
52 discipuli quoque replebantur gaudio etSpiritu Sancto.	52 The disciples were filled with joy and the holy Spirit.
