STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וַיְהִי בְּדַבְּרָם אֶל־הָעָם וַיָּקוּמוּ עֲלֵיהֶם הַכֹּהֲנִים וּנְגִיד בֵּית־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וְהַצַּדּוּקִים	1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the officer of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 כִּי־חָרָה לָהֶם עַל־אֲשֶׁר לִמְּדוּ אֶת־הָעָם וְהִגִּידוּ בְיֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־תְּחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים	2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead:
3 וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בָהֶם אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם וַיְשִׂימוּם בְּמִשְׁמָר עַד לְמָחָר כִּי־כְבָר בָּא הָעָרֶב	3 And they laid hands upon them, and put them in hold till the next day; for it was now evening.
4 וְרַבִּים מֵהַשֹּׁמְעִים אֶת־הַדָּבָר הֶאֱמִינוּ וַיְהִי מִסְפַּר הָאֲנָשִׁים כַּחֲמֵשֶׁת אֲלָפִים	4 But many of them who had heard the word, believed; and the number of the men was made five thousand.
5 וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרָת וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ שָׂרֵיהֶם רָאשֵׁיהֶם וְזִקְנֵיהֶם וְסוֹפְרֵיהֶם יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes, and ancients, and scribes, were gathered together in Jerusalem;
6 וְחָנָן הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְקַיָּפָא וְיוֹחָנָן וַאֲלֶכְסַנְדְּרוֹס וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל	6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
7 וַיַּעֲמִידוּ אֹתָם בַּתָּוֶךְ וַיִּשְׁאָלוּם בְּאֵיזֶה כֹחַ וּבְאֵיזֶה שֵׁם עֲשִׂיתֶם זֹאת	7 And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name, have you done this?
8 וַיִּמָּלֵא פֶטְרוֹס רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אַתֶּם רָאשֵׁי הָעָם וְזִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל	8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people, and ancients, hear:
9 אִם־אֲנַחְנוּ נֶחְקָרִים הַיּוֹם עַל־הַטּוֹבָה אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂינוּ לְאִישׁ חוֹלֶה וּשְׁאֶלְתֶּם בַּמֶּה זֶה נוֹשָׁע	9 If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole:
10 יִוָּדַע לְכֻלְּכֶם וּלְכָל־עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי־בְשֵׁם יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַנָּצְרִי אֲשֶׁר צְלַבְתֶּם אוֹתוֹ וַאֲשֶׁר הָאֱלֹהִים הֱקִימוֹ מִן־הַמֵּתִים כִּי־בִשְׁמוֹ עֹמֵד זֶה לִפְנֵיכֶם בָּרִיא	10 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole.
11 וְהוּא הָאֶבֶן אֲשֶׁר מְאַסְתֶּם אַתֶּם הַבּוֹנִים וַתְּהִי לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּה	11 This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 וְאֵין הַיְשׁוּעָה בְּאַחֵר וְאֵין תַּחַת הַשָּׁמַיִם שֵׁם אַחֵר הַנִּתָּן לִבְנֵי אָדָם אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ נִוָּשֵׁעַ	12 Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
13 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר רָאוּ אֶת־בִּטְחוֹן לִבָּם שֶׁל־פֶּטְרוֹס וְיוֹחָנָן וְהֵבִינוּ כִּי הֶדְיוֹטוֹת וְלֹא בַעֲלֵי חָכְמָה הֵמָּה וַיִּתְמְהוּ עֲלֵיהֶם וַיַּכִּירוּם כִּי הִתְהַלְּכוּ עִם־יֵשׁוּעַ	13 Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered; and they knew them that they had been with Jesus.
14 וּבִרְאוֹתָם אֶת־הָאִישׁ הַנִּרְפָּא עֹמֵד אֶצְלָם לֹא מָצְאוּ לְדַבֵּר נֶגְדָּם דָּבָר	14 Seeing the man also who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 וַיְצַוּוּ אֹתָם לָצֵאת חוּצָה מִן־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ יַחְדָּו	15 But they commanded them to go aside out of the council; and they conferred among themselves,
16 וַיֹּאמְרוּ מַה־נַּעֲשֶׂה לָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה הִנֵּה אוֹת גָּלוּי נַעֲשָׂה עַל־יְדֵיהֶם וְגַם־מְפֻרְסָם לְכָל־ישְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלָיִם וְלֹא נוּכַל לְכַחֶשׁ בּוֹ	16 Saying: What shall we do to these men? for indeed a known miracle hath been done by them, to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: it is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
17 אַךְ לְמַעַן לֹא־יִרְבֶּה הַדָּבָר בָּעָם וְיִפְרֹץ נַזְהִירָה אֹתָם בִּגְעָרָה לְבִלְתִּי דַבֵּר עוֹד לְכָל־אָדָם בַּשֵּׁם הַזֶּה	17 But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man.
18 וַיִּקְרְאוּ אֹתָם וַיְצַוּוּם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְדַבְּרוּ דָבָר וְלֹא יְלַמְּדוּ בְּשֵׁם יֵשׁוּעַ	18 And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 וַיַּעֲנוּ פֶּטְרוֹס וְיוֹחָנָן וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם הֲנָכוֹן הוּא לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים שְׁמֹעַ לָכֶם יוֹתֵר מִשְּׁמֹעַ לֵאלֹהִים שִׁפְטוּ אַתֶּם	19 But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye.
20 כִּי לֹא נוּכַל אֲנַחְנוּ לַחֲדֹל מִדַּבֵּר אֵת אֲשֶׁר רָאִינוּ וְשָׁמָעְנוּ	20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ לִגְעָר־בָּם וַיִּפְטְרוּ אֹתָם בַּאֲשֶׁר לֹא־מָצְאוּ דָבָר לַעֲנוֹשׁ אֹתָם מִפְּנֵי הָעָם כִּי כֻלָּם מְהַלְלִים אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים עַל־הַנַּעֲשָׂה	21 But they threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass.
22 כִּי בֶּן־אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה וָמַעְלָה הָיָה הָאִישׁ הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה־עִמּוֹ אוֹת הָרְפוּאָה הַזֹּאת	22 For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought.
23 וְאַחֲרֵי הִפָּטְרָם בָּאוּ אֶל־אֲחֵיהֶם וַיְסַפְּרוּ לָהֶם אֵת אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים	23 And being let go, they came to their own company, and related all that the chief priests and ancients had said to them.
24 וַיְהִי כַאֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ אֶת־זֹאת וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־קוֹלָם בְּלֵב אֶחָד לֵאלֹהִים וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲדֹנָי אַתָּה הָאֵל הָעֹשֶׂה אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ וְאֶת־הַיָּם וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּם	24 Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God, and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
25 אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתָּ בְּפִי עַבְדְּךָ דָוִד אָבִינוּ בְּרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִיק	25 Who, by the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, hast said: Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people meditate vain things?
26 יִתְיַצְּבוּ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץ וְרוֹזְנִים נוֹסְדוּ־יָחַד עַל־יְהוָֹה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחוֹ	26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes assembled together against the Lord and his Christ.
27 כִּי אָמְנָם נוֹסְדוּ בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת הוֹרְדוֹס וּפָנְטִיּוֹס פִּילָטוֹס עִם־הַגּוֹיִם וּלְאֻמֵּי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַל־יֵשׁוּעַ עַבְדְּךָ הַקָּדוֹשׁ אֲשֶׁר מָשָׁחְתָּ	27 For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,
28 לַעֲשׂוֹת אֵת אֲשֶׁר יָדְךָ וַעֲצָתְךָ מִקֶּדֶם גָּזְרָה לִהְיוֹת	28 To do what thy hand and thy counsel decreed to be done.
29 וְעַתָּה אֲדֹנָי רְאֵה אֶת־גַּעֲרָתָם וְתֵן לַעֲבָדֶיךָ לְדַבֵּר אֶת־דְּבָרְךָ בְּכָל־בִּטְחוֹן לִבָּם	29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants, that with all confidence they may speak thy word,
30 בִּנְטֹתְךָ אֶת־יָדְךָ לְמַרְפֵּא וְלָתֵת אֹתוֹת וּמוֹפְתִים בְּשֵׁם יֵשׁוּעַ עַבְדְּךָ הַקָּדוֹשׁ	30 By stretching forth thy hand to cures, and signs, and wonders to be done by the name of thy holy Son Jesus.
31 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר הִתְפַּלְלוּ וַיָּנַע הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ נִקְהָלִים שָׁם וַיִּמָּלְאוּ כֻלָּם רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֶת־דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים בְּבִטְחוֹן לֵבָב	31 And when they had prayed, the place was moved wherein they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with confidence.
32 וּקְהַל הַמַּאֲמִינִים הָיָה לָהֶם לֵב אֶחָד וְנֶפֶשׁ אַחַת וְאֵין אִישׁ מֵהֶם אוֹמֵר עַל־אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדוֹ לִי הוּא כִּי הַכֹּל הָיָה לָהֶם בְּשֻׁתָּפוּת	32 And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own; but all things were common unto them.
33 וּבִגְבוּרָה גְדוֹלָה יָעִידוּ הַשְּׁלִיחִים עַל־תְּקוּמַת הָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ וְחֶסֶד גָּדוֹל נִמְשַׁךְ לְכֻלָּם	33 And with great power did the apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord; and great grace was in them all.
34 כִּי לֹא־הָיָה בָהֶם חֲסַר דָּבָר כִּי כָל־בַּעֲלֵי שָׂדוֹת וּבָתִּים מָכְרוּ אֹתָם וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־כֶּסֶף מְחִירָם	34 For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,
35 וַיְשִׂימֻהוּ לְרַגְלֵי הַשְּׁלִיחִים וַיֻּתַּן לְכָל־אִישׁ וָאִישׁ דֵּי מַחְסֹרוֹ	35 And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
36 וְיוֹסֵף אֲשֶׁר כִּנּוּהוּ הַשְּׁלִיחִים בְּשֵׁם בַּר־נַבָּא פֵּרוּשׁוֹ בֶן־הַנֶּחָמָה אִישׁ לֵוִי אֲשֶׁר נוֹלַד בְּאֶרֶץ כִּתִּים	36 And Joseph, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, by interpretation, The son of consolation,) a Levite, a Cyprian born,
37 גַּם־לוֹ הָיָה שָׂדֶה וַיִּמְכְּרֵהוּ וַיָּבֵא אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ לְרַגְלֵי הַשְּׁלִיחִים	37 Having land, sold it, and brought the price, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
