Actus Apostolorum

Factum est autem cum Apollo esset Corinthi, ut Paulus peragratis superioribus partibus veniret Ephesum, et inveniret quosdam discipulos:

And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.

Facto es autem cum Apollo es de Corintho, ut Paulo peragra superiori partes veni Epheso, et inveni uno discipulos:

dixitque ad eos: Si Spiritum Sanctum accepistis credentes? At illi dixerunt ad eum: Sed neque si Spiritus Sanctus est, audivimus.

And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.

Et dic ad illos: si Spiritu Sancto accipe crede? Sed illo dic ad illo: sed neque si Spiritu Sancto es, audi.

Ille vero ait: In quo ergo baptizati estis? Qui dixerunt: In Joannis baptismate.

And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism.

Illo vero dic: in quo ergo baptiza es? Qui dic: in Ioanne baptismate.

Dixit autem Paulus: Joannes baptizavit baptismo pœnitentiæ populum, dicens in eum qui venturus esset post ipsum ut crederent, hoc est, in Jesum.

Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance saying: That they should believe in him, who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.

Dic autem Paulo: ioanne baptiza ad baptismo de poenitentia populo, dicente in illo qui veni es post ipso ut crede, hoc es, in Iesu.

His auditis, baptizati sunt in nomine Domini Jesu.

Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Ad hoc audi, baptiza es in nomine de Domino de Iesu.

Et cum imposuisset illis manus Paulus, venit Spiritus Sanctus super eos, et loquebantur linguis, et prophetabant.

And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them: and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

Et cum Paulo ad illos impone manus, Spiritu Sancto veni super illos, et loque linguas, et propheta.

Erant autem omnes viri fere duodecim.

And all the men were about twelve.

Es autem omni viros fere duodecime.

Introgressus autem synagogam, cum fiducia loquebatur per tres menses, disputans et suadens de regno Dei.

And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.

Introgresso autem loque, cum fiducia synagoga per tre mense, disputa et suade de regno de Deo.

Cum autem quidam indurarentur, et non crederent, maledicentes viam Domini coram multitudine, discedens ab eis, segregavit discipulos, quotidie disputans in schola tyranni cujusdam.

But when some were hardened and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

Cum autem uno indura, et non crede, maledice via de Domino coram multitudine, discede ab illos, segrega discipulos, quotidie disputa in schola de tyranno uno.

Hoc autem factum est per biennium, ita ut omnes qui habitabant in Asia audirent verbum Domini, Judæi atque gentiles.

And this continued for the space of two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.

Hoc autem facto es per biennio, ita ut omni qui habita in Asia audi verbo de Domino, Iudaeos et gentilis.

Virtutesque non quaslibet faciebat Deus per manum Pauli,

And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.

Et virtutes non omni fac Deo per manu de Paulo,

ita ut etiam super languidos deferrentur a corpore ejus sudaria et semicinctia, et recedebant ab eis languores, et spiritus nequam egrediebantur.

So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons: and the diseases departed from them: and the wicked spirits went out of them.

Ita ut etiam super languido sudarios ab corpore de illo et semicinctias defer, et languores ab illos recede, et spiritus nequissimo egredior.

Tentaverunt autem quidam et de circumeuntibus Judæis exorcistis invocare super eos qui habebant spiritus malos nomen Domini Jesu, dicentes: Adjuro vos per Jesum, quem Paulus prædicat.

Now some also of the Jewish exorcists, who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.

Uno autem et de circui Iudaeos exorcistas tenta invoca super illos qui habe spiritus malo nomine de Domino de Iesu, dicente: adiuro vos per Iesu, Paulo praedica quem.

Erant autem quidam Judæi, Scevæ principis sacerdotum septem filii, qui hoc faciebant.

And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.

Es autem uno Iudaeos, de Sceva de principe de sacerdotes septeme filio, qui fac hoc.

Respondens autem spiritus nequam dixit eis: Jesum novi, et Paulum scio: vos autem qui estis?

But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know: and Paul I know. But who are you?

Respondente autem spiritu nequissimo dic ad illos: iesu nosce, et vos autem: sci Paulo qui es?

Et insiliens in eos homo, in quo erat dæmonium pessimum, et dominatus amborum, invaluit contra eos, ita ut nudi et vulnerati effugerent de domo illa.

And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

Et insilie in illos homine, in quo es daemonio malo, et dominor ambo, invalesce contra illos, ita ut nuda et vulnera effuge de domo illa.

Hoc autem notum factum est omnibus Judæis, atque gentilibus qui habitabant Ephesi: et cecidit timor super omnes illos, et magnificabatur nomen Domini Jesu.

And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt a Ephesus. And fear fell on them all: and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

Hoc autem noto facto es ad omni Iudaeos, et ad gentilis qui habita de Epheso: et timore cade super omni illos, et nomine de Domino de Iesu magnifica.

Multique credentium veniebant, confitentes et annuntiantes actus suos.

And many of them that believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds

Et multo crede veni, confite et adnuntia actus suo.

Multi autem ex eis, qui fuerant curiosa sectati, contulerunt libros, et combusserunt coram omnibus: et computatis pretiis illorum, invenerunt pecuniam denariorum quinquaginta millium.

And many of them who had followed curious arts brought together their books and burnt them before all. And, counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Multo autem ex illos, qui es curioso sector, confer libros, et comburga coram omni: et computa pretios de illos, inveni pecunia de denarios quinquaginta de mile.

Ita fortiter crescebat verbum Dei, et confirmabatur.

So mightily grew the word of God and was confirmed.

Ita fortiter verbo de Deo cresce, et confirma.

His autem expletis, proposuit Paulus in Spiritu, transita Macedonia et Achaia, ire Jerosolymam, dicens: Quoniam postquam fuero ibi, oportet me et Romam videre.

And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.

Hoc autem exple, Paulo propone in Spiritu, transi Macedonia et Achaia, i Ierosolyma, dicente: quia postquam es ibi, debe me et Roma videre.

Mittens autem in Macedoniam duos ex ministrantibus sibi, Timotheum et Erastum, ipse remansit ad tempus in Asia.

And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.

Mitte autem in Macedonia duo ex ministra ad se, Timotheo et Erasto, ipso remane ad tempore in Asia.

Facta est autem illo tempore turbatio non minima de via Domini.

Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.

Facto es autem illo tempore turbatione non minimo de via de Domino.

Demetrius enim quidam nomine, argentarius, faciens ædes argenteas Dianæ, præstabat artificibus non modicum quæstum:

For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen.

Demetrio nam uno nomine, argentario, faciente aedes argenteo de Diana, praesta ad artifices non modico quaestu:

quos convocans, et eos qui hujusmodi erant opifices, dixit: Viri, scitis quia de hoc artificio est nobis acquisitio:

Whom he calling together with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade.

Que convoca, et illos qui huiusmodi es opifice, dic: viros, sci quia de hoc artificio acquisitione ad nos es:

et videtis et auditis quia non solum Ephesi, sed pene totius Asiæ, Paulus hic suadens avertit multam turbam, dicens: Quoniam non sunt dii, qui manibus fiunt.

And you see and hear that this Paul, by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: they are not gods which are made by hands.

Et vide et audi quia non solo de Epheso, sed paene toto de Asia, Paulo hoc suade averte multo turba, dicente: quia non es deos, qui manus fi.

Non solum autem hæc periclitabitur nobis pars in redargutionem venire, sed et magnæ Dianæ templum in nihilum reputabitur, sed et destrui incipiet majestas ejus, quam tota Asia et orbis colit.

So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing! Yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

Non solo autem hoc periclitor ad nos parte in redargutione venire, sed et magna de Diana templo in nihilo reputa, sed et destrue incipie maiestate de illo, toto Asia et orbe cole quam.

His auditis, repleti sunt ira, et exclamaverunt dicentes: Magna Diana Ephesiorum.

Having heard these things, they were full of anger and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians!

Ad hoc audi, reple es ira, et exclama dicente: magna Diana Ephesio.

Et impleta est civitas confusione, et impetum fecerunt uno animo in theatrum, rapto Gajo et Aristarcho Macedonibus, comitibus Pauli.

And the whole city was filled with confusion. And having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

Et imple es civitate confusione, et impetu fac uno animo in theatro, rape Gaio et Aristarcho Macedones, comites de Paulo.

Paulo autem volente intrare in populum, non permiserunt discipuli.

And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

Paulo autem vol intra in populo, non discipulos permitte.

Quidam autem et de Asiæ principibus, qui erant amici ejus, miserunt ad eum rogantes ne se daret in theatrum:

And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.

Uno autem et de Asia principes, qui es amicos de illo, mitte ad illo roga ne se da in theatro:

alii autem aliud clamabant. Erat enim ecclesia confusa: et plures nesciebant qua ex causa convenissent.

Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused: and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.

Alio autem clama alio. Es nam ecclesia confunde: et plure ne sci quo ex causa conveni.

De turba autem detraxerunt Alexandrum, propellentibus eum Judæis. Alexander autem manu silentio postulato, volebat reddere rationem populo.

And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction,

De turba autem detrahe Alexandro, propelle illo Iudaeos. Alexandro autem manu silentio postula, vol redde ratione ad populo.

Quem ut cognoverunt Judæum esse, vox facta una est omnium, quasi per horas duas clamantium: Magna Diana Ephesiorum.

But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two, hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians!

Quem ut cognosce Iudaeo es, voce facto uno es de omni, quasi per horas duo clama: magna Diana Ephesio.

Et cum sedasset scriba turbas, dixit: Viri Ephesii, quis enim est hominum, qui nesciat Ephesiorum civitatem cultricem esse magnæ Dianæ, Jovisque prolis?

And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana and of Jupiter's offspring?

Et cum scriba seda turbas, viros: de Ephesio dic, qui nam es de homines, qui ne sci Ephesio civitate cultrice es magna de Diana, et de Iuppitro de prole?

Cum ergo his contradici non possit, oportet vos sedatos esse, et nihil temere agere.

For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rashly.

Cum ergo ad hoc contradice non pote, debe vos seda es, et nihil temere age.

Adduxistis enim homines istos, neque sacrilegos, neque blasphemantes deam vestram.

For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege nor of blasphemy against your goddess.

Quod si Demetrius et qui cum eo sunt artifices, habent adversus aliquem causam, conventus forenses aguntur, et proconsules sunt: accusent invicem.

But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open: and there are proconsuls. Let them accuse one another.

Quod si Demetrio et qui cum eo es artifices, habe contra aliquo causa, conventus forense age, et proconsules es: accusa invicem.

Si quid autem alterius rei quæritis, in legitima ecclesia poterit absolvi.

And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.

Si quid autem de altero de re quaere, in legitima ecclesia pote absolve.

Nam et periclitamur argui seditionis hodiernæ, cum nullus obnoxius sit de quo possimus reddere rationem concursus istius. Et cum hæc dixisset, dimisit ecclesiam.

For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

Nam et periclitor argue de seditione hodierna, cum nullo obnoxio es de quo pote redde ratione de concursu isto. Et cum hoc dic, remitte ecclesia.
