Actus Apostolorum

Vir autem quidam nomine Ananias, cum Saphira uxore suo vendidit agrum,

But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,

Viro autem uno nomine Ananiase, cum Saphira uxore suo vende agro,

et fraudavit de pretio agri, conscia uxore sua: et afferens partem quamdam, ad pedes Apostolorum posuit.

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.

Et frauda de pretio de agro, conscia uxore suo: et ad-fer parte uno, ad pedes de Apostolos pone.

Dixit autem Petrus: Anania, cur tentavit Satanas cor tuum, mentiri te Spiritui Sancto, et fraudare de pretio agri?

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?

Petro autem dic: anania, quare Satana tenta corde tuo, mentior te ad Spiritu Sancto, et frauda de pretio de agro?

nonne manens tibi manebat, et venundatum in tua erat potestate? quare posuisti in corde tuo hanc rem? non es mentitus hominibus, sed Deo.

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.

Nonne mane ad te mane, et vende in tuo es potestate? Quare pone in corde tuo hoc re? Non es mentior ad homines, sed ad Deo.

Audiens autem Ananias hæc verba, cecidit, et expiravit. Et factus est timor magnus super omnes qui audierunt.

And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.

Audiente autem Ananiase hoc verbos, cade, et expira. Et facto es timore magna super omni qui audi.

Surgentes autem juvenes amoverunt eum, et efferentes sepelierunt.

And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.

Surge autem iuvene ama illo, et effera sepeli.

Factum est autem quasi horarum trium spatium, et uxor ipsius, nesciens quod factum fuerat, introivit.

And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

Facto es autem quasi de horas tre spatio, et uxore de ipso, ne sci quod facto es, introi.

Dixit autem ei Petrus: Dic mihi mulier, si tanti agrum vendidistis? At illa dixit: Etiam tanti.

And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.

Petro autem ad illo dic: dic ad me muliere, si tanto agro vende? Sed illa dic: etiam tanto.

Petrus autem ad eam: Quid utique convenit vobis tentare Spiritum Domini? Ecce pedes eorum qui sepelierunt virum tuum ad ostium, et efferent te.

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,

Petro autem ad illa: quid utique conveni ad vos tenta Spiritu de Domino? Ecce pedes de illos qui sepeli viro tuo ad ostio, et effera te.

Confestim cecidit ante pedes ejus, et expiravit. Intrantes autem juvenes invenerunt illam mortuam: et extulerunt, et sepelierunt ad virum suum.

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.

Confestim cade ante pedes de illo, et expira. Intrantes autem iuvene inveni illa more: et effera, et sepeli ad viro suo.

Et factus est timor magnus in universa ecclesia, et in omnes qui audierunt hæc.

And there came great fear upon the whole church and upon all that heard these things.

Et facto es timore magna in universa ecclesia, et in omni qui audi hoc.

Per manus autem Apostolorum fiebant signa et prodigia multa in plebe. Et erant unanimiter omnes in porticu Salomonis.

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.

Per manus autem de Apostolos signos et prodigios multo fi in plebe. Et es unanimiter omni in porticu de Salomone.

Ceterorum autem nemo audebat se conjungere illis: sed magnificabat eos populus.

But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them: but the people magnified them.

De ceteros autem nemo aude se coniunge ad illos: sed populo magnifica illos.

Magis autem augebatur credentium in Domino multitudo virorum ac mulierum,

And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord was more increased:

Magis autem auge crede in Domino multitudine de viros et de mulieres,

ita ut in plateas ejicerent infirmos, et ponerent in lectulis et grabatis, ut, veniente Petro, saltem umbra illius obumbraret quemquam illorum, et liberarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.

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.

Ita ut in plateas eiice infirmiori, et pone in lectulas et grabatos, ut, veni Petro, salte umbra de illo obumbra ullo de illos, et libera ab infirmitates suo.

Concurrebat autem et multitudo vicinarum civitatum Jerusalem, afferentes ægros, et vexatos a spiritibus immundis: qui curabantur omnes.

And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighbouring cities, bringing sick persons and such as were troubled with unclean spirits: who were all healed.

Et autem multitudine de vicinas de civitates Ierusalem concurre, ad-fer aegros, et vexa ab spiritus immundo: qui cura omni.

Exsurgens autem princeps sacerdotum, et omnes qui cum illo erant (quæ est hæresis sadducæorum), repleti sunt zelo:

Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him (which is the heresy of the Sadducees) were filled with envy.

Exsurgente autem principe de sacerdotes, et omni qui cum illo es (que es haeresi de sadducaeis), reple es zelo:

et injecerunt manus in Apostolos, et posuerunt eos in custodia publica.

And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.

Et inicie manus in Apostolos, et pone illos in custodia publica.

Angelus autem Domini per noctem aperiens januas carceris, et educens eos, dixit:

But an angel of the Lord by night, opening the doors of the prison and leading them out, said:

Angelo autem de Domino per nocte aperi ianuas de carcere, et educe illos, dic:

Ite, et stantes loquimini in templo plebi omnia verba vitæ hujus.

Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

Greek.expression, et sta loque in templo ad plebe omni verbos de vita de hoc.

Qui cum audissent, intraverunt diluculo in templum, et docebant. Adveniens autem princeps sacerdotum, et qui cum eo erant, convocaverunt concilium, et omnes seniores filiorum Israël: et miserunt ad carcerem ut adducerentur.

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.

Qui cum audi, intra diluculo in templo, et doce. Advenie autem principe de sacerdotes, et qui cum eo es, convoca concilio, et omni sene de filios Israële: et mitte ad carcere ut adduce.

Cum autem venissent ministri, et aperto carcere non invenissent illos, reversi nuntiaverunt,

But when the ministers came and opening the prison found them not there, they returned and told,

Cum autem ministros veni, et aperi carcere non inveni illos, reverte nuntia,

dicentes: Carcerem quidem invenimus clausum cum omni diligentia, et custodes stantes ante januas: aperientes autem neminem intus invenimus.

Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the door: but opening it, we found no man within.

Dicente: carcere quidem inveni claude cum omni diligentia, et custodes sta ante ianuas: aperi autem nemine intus inveni.

Ut autem audierunt hos sermones magistratus templi et principes sacerdotum, ambigebant de illis quidnam fieret.

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.

Ut autem magistratus de templo et principes de sacerdotes audi hoc sermones, ambige de illos quisname fi.

Adveniens autem quidam, nuntiavit eis: Quia ecce viri quos posuistis in carcerem, sunt in templo, stantes et docentes populum.

But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.

Advenie autem uno, nuntia ad illos: quia ecce viros que pone in carcere, es in templo, sta et doce populo.

Tunc abiit magistratus cum ministris, et adduxit illos sine vi: timebant enim populum ne lapidarentur.

Then went the officer with the ministers and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

Tunc magistratus i ab cum ministros, et adduce illos sine vi: time nam populo ne lapida.

Et cum adduxissent illos, statuerunt in concilio: et interrogavit eos princeps sacerdotum,

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

Et cum adduce illos, statue in concilio: et principe de sacerdotes interroga illos,

dicens: Præcipiendo præcepimus vobis ne doceretis in nomine isto, et ecce replestis Jerusalem doctrina vestra: et vultis inducere super nos sanguinem hominis istius.

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.

Dicente: praecipie praecipie ad vos ne doce in nomine isto, et ecce reple Ierusalem doctrina vestro: et vol induce super nos sanguine de homine isto.

Respondens autem Petrus et Apostoli, dixerunt: Obedire oportet Deo magis quam hominibus.

But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God rather than men.

Respondente autem Petro et Apostolos, dic: obedi debe ad Deo magis quam ad homines.

Deus patrum nostrorum suscitavit Jesum, quem vos interemistis, suspendentes in ligno.

The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.

Deo de patres nostro suscita Iesu, vos interime quem, suspende in ligno.

Hunc principem et salvatorem Deus exaltavit dextera sua ad dandam pœnitentiam Israëli, et remissionem peccatorum:

Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour. to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.

Deo exalta hoc principe et salvatore dextera suo ad da poenitentia de Israëlo, et remissione de peccatos:

et nos sumus testes horum verborum, et Spiritus Sanctus, quem dedit Deus omnibus obedientibus sibi.

And we are witnesses of these things: and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.

Et nos es testes de hoc de verbos, et Spiritu Sancto, Deo da quem ad omni obedi ad se.

Hæc cum audissent, dissecabantur, et cogitabant interficere illos.

When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart: and they thought to put them to death.

Hoc cum audi, disseca, et cogita interfice illos.

Surgens autem quidam in concilio pharisæus, nomine Gamaliel, legis doctor, honorabilis universæ plebi, jussit foras ad breve homines fieri,

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.

Surgente autem uno in concilio pharisaeo, nomine Gamaliele, de lege doctore, honorabile universa ad plebe, iube foras ad brevi homines fieri,

dixitque ad illos: Viri Israëlitæ, attendite vobis super hominibus istis quid acturi sitis.

And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.

Et viros ad illos: Israëlitas dic, attende ad vos super homines isto quid age es.

Ante hos enim dies extitit Theodas, dicens se esse aliquem, cui consensit numerus virorum circiter quadringentorum: qui occisus est, et omnes qui credebant ei, dissipati sunt, et redacti ad nihilum.

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.

Ante hoc nam dies Theodase extiti, dicente se es aliquo, ad que numero de viros circa quadringenti consentie: qui occide es, et omni qui crede ad illo, dissipa es, et redige ad nihilo.

Post hunc extitit Judas Galilæus in diebus professionis, et avertit populum post se: et ipse periit, et omnes quotquot consenserunt ei, dispersi sunt.

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.

Post hoc Iudase Galilaeo extiti in dies de professione, et averte populo post se: et ipso peri, et omni quotquot consentie ad illo, disperge es.

Et nunc itaque dico vobis, discedite ab hominibus istis, et sinite illos: quoniam si est ex hominibus consilium hoc aut opus, dissolvetur:

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:

Et nunc itaque dic ad vos, discede ab homines isto, et sine illos: quia si consilio ex homines hoc es aut opere, dissolve:

si vero ex Deo est, non poteritis dissolvere illud, ne forte et Deo repugnare inveniamini. Consenserunt autem illi.

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.

Si vero ex Deo es, non pote dissolve illo, ne forte et ad Deo repugna inveni. Consentie autem ad illo.

Et convocantes Apostolos, cæsis denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur in nomine Jesu, et dimiserunt eos.

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.

Et convoca Apostolos, caede denuntia ne omnino loque in nomine de Iesu, et dimitte illos.

Et illi quidem ibant gaudentes a conspectu concilii, quoniam digni habiti sunt pro nomine Jesu contumeliam pati.

And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.

Et illo quidem i gaude ab conspectu de concilio, quia digna habe es pro nomine de Iesu contumelia pate.

Omni autem die non cessabant in templo et circa domos, docentes et evangelizantes Christum Jesum.

And every day they ceased not, in the temple and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.

Omni autem die non cessa in templo et circa domos, doce et evangeliza Christo Iesu.
