Atti degli Apostoli 5

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Vir autem quidam nomine Ananias cum Sapphira uxore sua vendidit agrum	1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,
2 et subtraxit de pretio, conscia quoque uxore, et afferens partem quandam adpedes apostolorum posuit.	2 And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
3 Dixit autem Petrus: “ Anania, cur implevit Satanascor tuum mentiri te Spiritui Sancto et subtrahere de pretio agri?	3 But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land?
4 Nonne manenstibi manebat et venumdatum in tua erat potestate? Quare posuisti in corde tuohanc rem? Non es mentitus hominibus sed Deo! ”.	4 Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
5 Audiens autem Ananias haecverba cecidit et exspiravit; et factus est timor magnus in omnes audientes.	5 And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.
6 Surgentes autem iuvenes involverunt eum et efferentes sepelierunt.	6 And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.
7 Factum est autem quasi horarum trium spatium, et uxor ipsius nesciens, quodfactum fuerat, introivit.	7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Respondit autem ei Petrus: “ Dic mihi, si tantiagrum vendidistis? ”. At illa dixit: “ Etiam, tanti ”.	8 And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.
9 Petrus autem adeam: “ Quid est quod convenit vobis tentare Spiritum Domini? Ecce pedes eorum,qui sepelierunt virum tuum, ad ostium, et efferent te ”.	9 And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
10 Confestim ceciditante pedes eius et exspiravit; intrantes autem iuvenes invenerunt illam mortuamet efferentes sepelierunt ad virum suum.	10 Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
11 Et factus est timor magnus superuniversam ecclesiam et in omnes, qui audierunt haec.	11 And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
12 Per manus autem apostolorum fiebant signa et prodigia multa in plebe; eterant unanimiter omnes in porticu Salomonis.	12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 Ceterorum autem nemo audebatconiungere se illis, sed magnificabat eos populus;	13 But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.
14 magis autem addebanturcredentes Domino multitudines virorum ac mulierum,	14 And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:
15 ita ut et in plateasefferrent infirmos et ponerent in lectulis et grabatis, ut, veniente Petro,saltem umbra illius obumbraret quemquam eorum.	15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.
16 Concurrebat autem et multitudovicinarum civitatum Ierusalem, afferentes aegros et vexatos ab spiritibusimmundis, qui curabantur omnes.	16 And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighboring cities, bringing sick persons, and such as were troubled with unclean spirits; who were all healed.
17 Exsurgens autem princeps sacerdotum et omnes, qui cum illo erant, quae esthaeresis sadducaeorum, repleti sunt zelo	17 Then the high prist rising up, and all they that were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees,) were filled with envy.
18 et iniecerunt manus in apostolos etposuerunt illos in custodia publica.	18 And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 Angelus autem Domini per noctem aperuitianuas carceris et educens eos dixit:	19 But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:
20 “ Ite et stantes loquimini in temploplebi omnia verba vitae huius ”.	20 Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 Qui cum audissent, intraverunt diluculo intemplum et docebant. Adveniens autem princeps sacerdotum et, qui cum eo erant, convocaveruntconcilium et omnes seniores filiorum Israel et miserunt in carcerem, utadducerentur illi.	21 Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Cum venissent autem ministri, non invenerunt illos incarcere; reversi autem nuntiaverunt	22 But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,
23 dicentes: “ Carcerem invenimus clausumcum omni diligentia et custodes stantes ad ianuas; aperientes autem intusneminem invenimus! ”.	23 Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.
24 Ut audierunt autem hos sermones, magistratus templiet principes sacerdotum ambigebant de illis quidnam fieret illud.	24 Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.
25 Adveniensautem quidam nuntiavit eis: “ Ecce viri, quos posuistis in carcere, sunt intemplo stantes et docentes populum ”.	25 But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.
26 Tunc abiens magistratus cum ministris adducebat illos, non per vim; timebantenim populum, ne lapidarentur.	26 Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27 Et cum adduxissent illos, statuerunt inconcilio. Et interrogavit eos princeps sacerdotum	27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
28 dicens: “ Nonnepraecipiendo praecepimus vobis, ne doceretis in nomine isto? Et ecce replevistisIerusalem doctrina vestra et vultis inducere super nos sanguinem hominis istius”.	28 Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
29 Respondens autem Petrus et apostoli dixerunt: “ Oboedire oportet Deomagis quam hominibus.	29 But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
30 Deus patrum nostrorum suscitavit Iesum, quem vosinteremistis suspendentes in ligno;	30 The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
31 hunc Deus Ducem et Salvatorem exaltavitdextera sua ad dandam paenitentiam Israel et remissionem peccatorum.	31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
32 Et nossumus testes horum verborum, et Spiritus Sanctus, quem dedit Deus oboedientibussibi ”.	32 And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.
33 Haec cum audissent, dissecabantur et volebant interficere illos.	33 When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.
34 Surgens autem quidam in concilio pharisaeus nomine Gamaliel, legis doctorhonorabilis universae plebi, iussit foras ad breve homines fieri	34 But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.
35 dixitque adillos: “ Viri Israelitae, attendite vobis super hominibus istis quid acturisitis.	35 And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.
36 Ante hos enim dies exstitit Theudas dicens esse se aliquem, cuiconsensit virorum numerus circiter quadringentorum; qui occisus est, et omnes,quicumque credebant ei, dissipati sunt et redacti sunt ad nihilum.	36 For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.
37 Post huncexstitit Iudas Galilaeus in diebus census et avertit populum post se; et ipseperiit, et omnes, quotquot consentiebant ei, dispersi sunt.	37 After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.
38 Et nunc dicovobis: Discedite ab hominibus istis et sinite illos. Quoniam si est ex hominibusconsilium hoc aut opus hoc, dissolvetur;	38 And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
39 si vero ex Deo est, non poteritisdissolvere eos, ne forte et adversus Deum pugnantes inveniamini! ”. Consenserunt autem illi	39 But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.
40 et convocantes apostolos, caesis denuntiaverunt, neloquerentur in nomine Iesu, et dimiserunt eos.	40 And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.
41 Et illi quidem ibant gaudentesa conspectu concilii, quoniam digni habiti sunt pro nomine contumeliam pati;	41 And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.
42 et omni die in templo et circa domos non cessabant docentes et evangelizantesChristum, Iesum.	42 And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.
