King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
1Dixit autem princeps sacerdotum: Si hæc ita se habent?
2And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
2Qui ait: Viri fratres et patres, audite: Deus gloriæ apparuit patri nostro Abrahæ cum esset in Mesopotamia, priusquam moraretur in Charan,
3And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
3et dixit ad illum: Exi de terra tua, et de cognatione tua, et veni in terram quam monstravero tibi.
4Then came he out of the land of the Chaldæans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
4Tunc exiit de terra Chaldæorum, et habitavit in Charan. Et inde, postquam mortuus est pater ejus, transtulit illum in terram istam, in qua nunc vos habitatis.
5And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
5Et non dedit illi hæreditatem in ea, nec passum pedis: sed repromisit dare illi eam in possessionem, et semini ejus post ipsum, cum non haberet filium.
6And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.
6Locutus est autem ei Deus: Quia erit semen ejus accola in terra aliena, et servituti eos subjicient, et male tractabunt eos annis quadringentis:
7And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
7et gentem cui servierint, judicabo ego, dixit Dominus: et post hæc exibunt, et servient mihi in loco isto.
8And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
8Et dedit illi testamentum circumcisionis: et sic genuit Isaac, et circumcidit eum die octavo: et Isaac, Jacob: et Jacob, duodecim patriarchas.
9And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
9Et patriarchæ æmulantes, Joseph vendiderunt in Ægyptum: et erat Deus cum eo,
10And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
10et eripuit eum ex omnibus tribulationibus ejus, et dedit ei gratiam et sapientiam in conspectu pharaonis regis Ægypti: et constituit eum præpositum super Ægyptum, et super omnem domum suam.
11Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
11Venit autem fames in universam Ægyptum et Chanaan, et tribulatio magna: et non inveniebant cibos patres nostri.
12But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
12Cum audisset autem Jacob esse frumentum in Ægypto, misit patres nostros primum:
13And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph’s kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
13et in secundo cognitus est Joseph a fratribus suis, et manifestatum est Pharaoni genus ejus.
14Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him , and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
14Mittens autem Joseph, accersivit Jacob patrem suum et omnem cognationem suam, in animabus septuaginta quinque.
15So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
15Et descendit Jacob in Ægyptum: et defunctus est ipse, et patres nostri.
16And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
16Et translati sunt in Sichem, et positi sunt in sepulchro, quod emit Abraham pretio argenti a filiis Hemor filii Sichem.
17But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
17Cum autem appropinquaret tempus promissionis quam confessus erat Deus Abrahæ, crevit populus, et multiplicatus est in Ægypto,
18Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
18quoadusque surrexit alius rex in Ægypto, qui non sciebat Joseph.
19The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
19Hic circumveniens genus nostrum, afflixit patres nostros ut exponerent infantes suos, ne vivificarentur.
20In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months:
20Eodem tempore natus est Moyses, et fuit gratus Deo: qui nutritus est tribus mensibus in domo patris sui.
21And when he was cast out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
21Exposito autem illo, sustulit eum filia Pharaonis, et nutrivit eum sibi in filium.
22And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
22Et eruditus est Moyses omni sapientia Ægyptiorum, et erat potens in verbis et in operibus suis.
23And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
23Cum autem impleretur ei quadraginta annorum tempus, ascendit in cor ejus ut visitaret fratres suos filios Israël.
24And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him , and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
24Et cum vidisset quemdam injuriam patientem, vindicavit illum, et fecit ultionem ei qui injuriam sustinebat, percusso Ægyptio.
25For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
25Existimabat autem intelligere fratres, quoniam Deus per manum ipsius daret salutem illis: at illi non intellexerunt.
26And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
26Sequenti vero die apparuit illis litigantibus: et reconciliabat eos in pace, dicens: Viri, fratres estis: ut quid nocetis alterutrum?
27But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
27Qui autem injuriam faciebat proximo, repulit eum, dicens: Quis te constituit principem et judicem super nos?
28Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
28Numquid interficere me tu vis, quemadmodum interfecisti heri Ægyptium?
29Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
29Fugit autem Moyses in verbo isto: et factus est advena in terra Madian, ubi generavit filios duos.
30And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
30Et expletis annis quadraginta, apparuit illi in deserto montis Sina angelus in igne flammæ rubi.
31When Moses saw it , he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it , the voice of the Lord came unto him,
31Moyses autem videns, admiratus est visum. Et accedente illo ut consideraret, facta est ad eum vox Domini, dicens:
32Saying , I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
32Ego sum Deus patrum tuorum, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob. Tremefactus autem Moyses, non audebat considerare.
33Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
33Dixit autem illi Dominus: Solve calceamentum pedum tuorum: locus enim in quo stas, terra sancta est.
34I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
34Videns vidi afflictionem populi mei qui est in Ægypto, et gemitum eorum audivi, et descendi liberare eos. Et nunc veni, et mittam te in Ægyptum.
35This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
35Hunc Moysen, quem negaverunt, dicentes: Quis te constituit principem et judicem? hunc Deus principem et redemptorem misit, cum manu angeli qui apparuit illi in rubo.
36He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
36Hic eduxit illos faciens prodigia et signa in terra Ægypti, et in rubro mari, et in deserto annis quadraginta.
37¶ This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
37Hic est Moyses, qui dixit filiis Israël: Prophetam suscitabit vobis Deus de fratribus vestris, tamquam me: ipsum audietis.
38This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
38Hic est qui fuit in ecclesia in solitudine cum angelo, qui loquebatur ei in monte Sina, et cum patribus nostris: qui accepit verba vitæ dare nobis.
39To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
39Cui noluerunt obedire patres nostri: sed repulerunt, et aversi sunt cordibus suis in Ægyptum,
40Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
40dicentes ad Aaron: Fac nobis deos qui præcedant nos: Moyses enim hic, qui eduxit nos de terra Ægypti, nescimus quid factum sit ei.
41And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
41Et vitulum fecerunt in diebus illis, et obtulerunt hostiam simulacro, et lætabantur in operibus manuum suarum.
42Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
42Convertit autem Deus, et tradidit eos servire militiæ cæli, sicut scriptum est in libro prophetarum: [Numquid victimas et hostias obtulistis mihi annis quadraginta in deserto, domus Israël?
43Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
43Et suscepistis tabernaculum Moloch, et sidus dei vestri Rempham, figuras quas fecistis adorare eas: et transferam vos trans Babylonem.]
44Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
44Tabernaculum testimonii fuit cum patribus nostris in deserto, sicut disposuit illis Deus loquens ad Moysen, ut faceret illud secundum formam quam viderat.
45Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
45Quod et induxerunt, suscipientes patres nostri cum Jesu in possessionem gentium quas expulit Deus a facie patrum nostrorum, usque in diebus David,
46Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
46qui invenit gratiam ante Deum, et petiit ut inveniret tabernaculum Deo Jacob.
47But Solomon built him an house.
47Salomon autem ædificavit illi domum.
48Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
48Sed non Excelsus in manufactis habitat, sicut propheta dicit:
49Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
49[Cælum mihi sedes est: terra autem scabellum pedum meorum. Quam domum ædificabitis mihi? dicit Dominus: aut quis locus requietionis meæ est?
50Hath not my hand made all these things?
50Nonne manus mea fecit hæc omnia?]
51¶ Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did , so do ye.
51Dura cervice, et incircumcisis cordibus et auribus, vos semper Spiritui Sancto resistitis: sicut patres vestri, ita et vos.
52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
52Quem prophetarum non sunt persecuti patres vestri? et occiderunt eos qui prænuntiabant de adventu Justi, cujus vos nunc proditores et homicidæ fuistis:
53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
53qui accepistis legem in dispositione angelorum, et non custodistis.
54¶ When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
54Audientes autem hæc, dissecabantur cordibus suis, et stridebant dentibus in eum.
55But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
55Cum autem esset plenus Spiritu Sancto, intendens in cælum, vidit gloriam Dei, et Jesum stantem a dextris Dei. Et ait: Ecce video cælos apertos, et Filium hominis stantem a dextris Dei.
56And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
56Exclamantes autem voce magna continuerunt aures suas, et impetum fecerunt unanimiter in eum.
57Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
57Et ejicientes eum extra civitatem, lapidabant: et testes deposuerunt vestimenta sua secus pedes adolescentis qui vocabatur Saulus.
58And cast him out of the city, and stoned him : and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
58Et lapidabant Stephanum invocantem, et dicentem: Domine Jesu, suscipe spiritum meum.
59And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God , and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
59Positis autem genibus, clamavit voce magna, dicens: Domine, ne statuas illis hoc peccatum. Et cum hoc dixisset, obdormivit in Domino. Saulus autem erat consentiens neci ejus.
60And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
