Atti degli Apostoli 8

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Saulus autem erat consentiens neci eius. Facta est autem in illa diepersecutio magna in ecclesiam, quae erat Hierosolymis; et omnes dispersi suntper regiones Iudaeae et Samariae praeter apostolos.	1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Sepelierunt autemStephanum viri timorati et fecerunt planctum magnum super illum.	2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 Saulus verodevastabat ecclesiam, per domos intrans et trahens viros ac mulieres tradebat incustodiam.	3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Igitur qui dispersi erant, pertransierunt evangelizantes verbum.	4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5 Philippus autem descendens in civitatem Samariae praedicabat illis Christum.	5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 Intendebant autem turbae his, quae a Philippo dicebantur, unanimiter, audienteset videntes signa, quae faciebat:	6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 ex multis enim eorum, qui habebant spiritusimmundos, clamantes voce magna exibant; multi autem paralytici et claudi curatisunt.	7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 Factum est autem magnum gaudium in illa civitate.	8 And there was great joy in that city.
9 Vir autem quidamnomine Simon iampridem erat in civitate magias faciens et dementans gentemSamariae, dicens esse se aliquem magnum;	9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10 cui attendebant omnes a minimo usquead maximum dicentes: “ Hic est virtus Dei, quae vocatur Magna ”.	10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 Attendebant autem eum, propter quod multo tempore magiis dementasset eos.	11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12 Cumvero credidissent Philippo evangelizanti de regno Dei et nomine Iesu Christi,baptizabantur viri ac mulieres.	12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Tunc Simon et ipse credidit et, cumbaptizatus esset, adhaerebat Philippo; videns etiam signa et virtutes magnasfieri stupens admirabatur.	13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Cum autem audissent apostoli, qui erant Hierosolymis, quia recepit Samariaverbum Dei, miserunt ad illos Petrum et Ioannem;	14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 qui cum descendissent,oraverunt pro ipsis, ut acciperent Spiritum Sanctum:	15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 nondum enim superquemquam illorum venerat, sed baptizati tantum erant in nomine Domini Iesu.	16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Tunc imposuerunt manus super illos, et accipiebant Spiritum Sanctum.	17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 Cum vidisset autem Simon quia per impositionem manuum apostolorum dareturSpiritus, obtulit eis pecuniam	18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 dicens: “ Date et mihi hanc potestatem, utcuicumque imposuero manus, accipiat Spiritum Sanctum ”.	19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 Petrus autem dixitad eum: “ Argentum tuum tecum sit in perditionem, quoniam donum Deiexistimasti pecunia possideri!	20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Non est tibi pars neque sors in verbo isto;cor enim tuum non est rectum coram Deo.	21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Paenitentiam itaque age ab hacnequitia tua et roga Dominum, si forte remittatur tibi haec cogitatio cordistui;	22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 in felle enim amaritudinis et obligatione iniquitatis video te esse ”.	23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Respondens autem Simon dixit: “ Precamini vos pro me ad Dominum, ut nihilveniat super me horum, quae dixistis ”.	24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
25 Et illi quidem testificati etlocuti verbum Domini, redibant Hierosolymam et multis vicis Samaritanorumevangelizabant.	25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Philippum dicens: “ Surge et vadecontra meridianum ad viam, quae descendit ab Ierusalem in Gazam; haec estdeserta ”.	26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 Et surgens abiit; et ecce vir Aethiops eunuchus potens Candacisreginae Aethiopum, qui erat super omnem gazam eius, qui venerat adorare inIerusalem	27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 et revertebatur sedens super currum suum et legebat prophetamIsaiam.	28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Dixit autem Spiritus Philippo: “ Accede et adiunge te ad currumistum ”.	29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 Accurrens autem Philippus audivit illum legentem Isaiam prophetamet dixit: “ Putasne intellegis, quae legis? ”.	30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 Qui ait: “ Et quomodopossum, si non aliquis ostenderit mihi? ”. Rogavitque Philippum, ut ascenderetet sederet secum.	31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 Locus autem Scripturae, quem legebat, erat hic: “ Tamquam ovis ad occisionem ductus est et sicut agnus coram tondente se sine voce, sic non aperit os suum.	32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In humilitate eius iudicium eius sublatum est. Generationem illius quis enarrabit? Quoniam tollitur de terra vita eius ”.	33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 Respondens autem eunuchus Philippo dixit: “ Obsecro te, de quo prophetadicit hoc? De se an de alio aliquo? ”.	34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Aperiens autem Philippus os suum etincipiens a Scriptura ista, evangelizavit illi Iesum.	35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 Et dum irent per viam,venerunt ad quandam aquam; et ait eunuchus: “ Ecce aqua; quid prohibet mebaptizari? ”.	36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37	37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 Et iussit stare currum; et descenderunt uterque in aquamPhilippus et eunuchus, et baptizavit eum.	38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 Cum autem ascendissent de aqua,Spiritus Domini rapuit Philippum, et amplius non vidit eum eunuchus; ibat autemper viam suam gaudens.	39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Philippus autem inventus est in Azoto et pertransiensevangelizabat civitatibus cunctis, donec veniret Caesaream.	40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
