Atti degli Apostoli 17

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Cum autem perambulassent Amphipolim et Apolloniam, venerunt Thessalonicam, ubierat synagoga Iudaeorum.	1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
2 Secundum consuetudinem autem suam Paulus introivit adeos et per sabbata tria disserebat eis de Scripturis	2 And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
3 adaperiens et comprobansquia Christum oportebat pati et resurgere a mortuis, et: “ Hic est Christus,Iesus, quem ego annuntio vobis ”.	3 Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you.
4 Et quidam ex eis crediderunt et adiunctisunt Paulo et Silae et de colentibus Graecis multitudo magna et mulieres nobilesnon paucae.	4 And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few.
5 Zelantes autem Iudaei assumentesque de foro viros quosdam malos etturba facta concitaverunt civitatem; et assistentes domui Iasonis quaerebant eosproducere in populum.	5 But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason's house, sought to bring them out unto the people.
6 Et cum non invenissent eos, trahebant Iasonem et quosdamfratres ad politarchas clamantes: “ Qui orbem concitaverunt, isti et hucvenerunt,	6 And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also;
7 quos suscepit Iason; et hi omnes contra decreta Caesaris faciunt,regem alium dicentes esse, Iesum ”.	7 Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
8 Concitaverunt autem plebem etpolitarchas audientes haec;	8 And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
9 et accepto satis ab Iasone et a ceteris,dimiserunt eos.	9 And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
10 Fratres vero confestim per noctem dimiserunt Paulum et Silam in Beroeam; quicum advenissent, in synagogam Iudaeorum introierunt.	10 But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Hi autem erantnobiliores eorum, qui sunt Thessalonicae, qui susceperunt verbum cum omniaviditate, cotidie scrutantes Scripturas, si haec ita se haberent.	11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
12 Et multiquidem crediderunt ex eis et Graecarum mulierum honestarum et virorum non pauci.	12 And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
13 Cum autem cognovissent in Thessalonica Iudaei quia et Beroeae annuntiatum esta Paulo verbum Dei, venerunt et illuc commoventes et turbantes multitudinem.	13 And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
14 Statimque tunc Paulum dimiserunt fratres, ut iret usque ad mare; Silas autem etTimotheus remanserunt ibi.	14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
15 Qui autem deducebant Paulum, perduxerunt usqueAthenas; et accepto mandato ad Silam et Timotheum, ut quam celerrime venirent adillum, profecti sunt.	15 And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
16 Paulus autem cum Athenis eos exspectaret, irritabatur spiritus eius in ipsovidens idololatriae deditam civitatem.	16 Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 Disputabat igitur in synagoga cumIudaeis et colentibus et in foro per omnes dies ad eos, qui aderant.	17 He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.
18 Quidamautem ex Epicureis et Stoicis philosophi disserebant cum eo. Et quidam dicebant:“ Quid vult seminiverbius hic dicere? ”; alii vero: “ Novorum daemoniorumvidetur annuntiator esse ”, quia Iesum et resurrectionem evangelizabat.	18 And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Etapprehensum eum ad Areopagum duxerunt dicentes: “ Possumus scire quae est haecnova, quae a te dicitur, doctrina?	19 And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
20 Mira enim quaedam infers auribus nostris;volumus ergo scire quidnam velint haec esse ”.	20 For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
21 Athenienses autem omnes etadvenae hospites ad nihil aliud vacabant nisi aut dicere aut audire aliquidnovi.	21 (Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)
22 Stans autem Paulus in medio Areopagi ait: “ Viri Athenienses, per omniaquasi superstitiosiores vos video;	22 But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
23 praeteriens enim et videns simulacravestra inveni et aram, in qua scriptum erat: “Ignoto deo”. Quod ergoignorantes colitis, hoc ego annuntio vobis.	23 For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you:
24 Deus, qui fecit mundum et omnia,quae in eo sunt, hic, caeli et terrae cum sit Dominus, non in manufactis templisinhabitat	24 God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 nec manibus humanis colitur indigens aliquo, cum ipse det omnibusvitam et inspirationem et omnia;	25 Neither is he served with men's hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things:
26 fecitque ex uno omne genus hominuminhabitare super universam faciem terrae, definiens statuta tempora et terminoshabitationis eorum,	26 And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation.
27 quaerere Deum, si forte attrectent eum et inveniant,quamvis non longe sit ab unoquoque nostrum.	27 That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us:
28 In ipso enim vivimus et movemuret sumus, sicut et quidam vestrum poetarum dixerunt: “Ipsius enim et genus sumus”.	28 For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
29 Genus ergo cum simus Dei, non debemus aestimare auro aut argento aut lapidi,sculpturae artis et cogitationis hominis, divinum esse simile.	29 Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
30 Et temporaquidem ignorantiae despiciens Deus, nunc annuntiat hominibus, ut omnes ubiquepaenitentiam agant,	30 And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
31 eo quod statuit diem, in qua iudicaturus est orbem iniustitia in viro, quem constituit, fidem praebens omnibus suscitans eum amortuis ”.	31 Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
32 Cum audissent autem resurrectionem mortuorum, quidam quidem irridebant,quidam vero dixerunt: “ Audiemus te de hoc iterum ”.	32 And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
33 Sic Paulus exivit demedio eorum.	33 So Paul went out from among them.
34 Quidam vero viri adhaerentes ei crediderunt; in quibus etDionysius Areopagita et mulier nomine Damaris et alii cum eis.	34 But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
