Atti degli Apostoli 24

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Post quinque autem dies, descendit princeps sacerdo tum Ananias cumsenioribus quibusdam et Tertullo quodam oratore, qui adierunt praesidem adversusPaulum.	1 And after five days the high priest Ananias came down, with some of the ancients, and one Tertullus an orator, who went to the governor against Paul.
2 Et citato eo, coepit accusare Tertullus dicens: “ Cum in multa paceagamus per te, et multa corrigantur genti huic per tuam providentiam,	2 And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas through thee we live in much peace, and many things are rectified by thy providence,
3 semperet ubique suscipimus, optime Felix, cum omni gratiarum actione.	3 We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving.
4 Ne diutiusautem te protraham, oro, breviter audias nos pro tua clementia.	4 But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in few words.
5 Invenimus enimhunc hominem pestiferum et concitantem seditiones omnibus Iudaeis, qui sunt inuniverso orbe, et auctorem seditionis sectae Nazarenorum,	5 We have found this to be a pestilent man, and raising seditions among all the Jews throughout the world, and author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6 qui etiam templumviolare conatus est, quem et apprehendimus,	6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom, we having apprehended, would also have judged according to our law.
7	7 But Lysias the tribune coming upon us, with great violence took him away out of our hands;
8 a quo poteris ipse diiudicansde omnibus istis cognoscere, de quibus nos accusamus eum ”.	8 Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest thyself, by examination, have knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9 Adiecerunt autemet Iudaei dicentes haec ita se habere.	9 And the Jews also added, and said that these things were so.
10 Respondit autem Paulus, annuente sibi praeside dicere: “ Ex multis annisesse te iudicem genti huic sciens bono animo de causa mea rationem reddam,	10 Then Paul answered, (the governor making a sign to him to speak:) Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself.
11 cum possis cognoscere quia non plus sunt dies mihi quam duodecim, ex quo ascendiadorare in Ierusalem,	11 For thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days, since I went up to adore in Jerusalem:
12 et neque in templo invenerunt me cum aliquo disputantemaut concursum facientem turbae neque in synagogis neque in civitate,	12 And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man, or causing any concourse of the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 nequeprobare possunt tibi, de quibus nunc accusant me.	13 Neither can they prove unto thee the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 Confiteor autem hoc tibi,quod secundum viam, quam dicunt haeresim, sic deservio patrio Deo credensomnibus, quae secundum Legem sunt et in Prophetis scripta,	14 But this I confess to thee, that according to the way, which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets:
15 spem habens inDeum, quam et hi ipsi exspectant, resurrectionem futuram iustorum et iniquorum.	15 Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust.
16 In hoc et ipse studeo sine offendiculo conscientiam habere ad Deum et adhomines semper.	16 And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence toward God, and towards men.
17 Post annos autem plures, eleemosynas facturus in gentem meamveni et oblationes;	17 Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings, and vows.
18 in quibus invenerunt me purificatum in templo, non cumturba neque cum tumultu;	18 In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 quidam autem ex Asia Iudaei, quos oportebat apud tepraesto esse et accusare, si quid haberent adversum me;	19 But certain Jews of Asia, who ought to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had any thing against me:
20 aut hi ipsi dicantquid invenerint iniquitatis, cum starem in concilio,	20 Or let these men themselves say, if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council,
21 nisi de una hac voce,qua clamavi inter eos stans: De resurrectione mortuorum ego iudicor hodie apudvos! ”.	21 Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you.
22 Distulit autem illos Felix certissime sciens ea, quae de hac via sunt,dicens: “ Cum tribunus Lysias descenderit, cognoscam causam vestram ”,	22 And Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you.
23 iubens centurioni custodiri eum et habere mitigationem, nec quemquam prohiberede suis ministrare ei.	23 And he commanded a centurion to keep him, and that he should be easy, and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him.
24 Post aliquot autem dies, adveniens Felix cum Drusilla uxore sua, quae eratIudaea, vocavit Paulum et audivit ab eo de fide, quae est in Christum Iesum.	24 And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul, and heard of him the faith, that is in Christ Jesus.
25 Disputante autem illo de iustitia et continentia et de iudicio futuro,timefactus Felix respondit: “ Quod nunc attinet, vade; tempore autem opportunoaccersiam te ”,	25 And as he treated of justice, and chastity, and of the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee.
26 simul et sperans quia pecunia daretur sibi a Paulo; propterquod et frequenter accersiens eum loquebatur cum eo.	26 Hoping also withal, that money should be given him by Paul; for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him.
27 Biennio autem expleto, accepit successorem Felix Porcium Festum; volensquegratiam praestare Iudaeis, Felix reliquit Paulum vinctum.	27 But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
