Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
1Audierunt autem Apostoli et fratres qui erant in Judæa, quoniam et gentes receperunt verbum Dei.
2When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
2Cum autem ascendisset Petrus Jerosolymam, disceptabant adversus illum qui erant ex circumcisione,
3saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
3dicentes: Quare introisti ad viros præputium habentes, et manducasti cum illis?
4But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
4Incipiens autem Petrus exponebat illis ordinem, dicens:
5“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
5Ego eram in civitate Joppe orans, et vidi in excessu mentis visionem, descendens vas quoddam velut linteum magnum quatuor initiis summitti de cælo, et venit usque ad me.
6When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
6In quod intuens considerabam, et vidi quadrupedia terræ, et bestias, et reptilia, et volatilia cæli.
7I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
7Audivi autem et vocem dicentem mihi: Surge, Petre: occide, et manduca.
8But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
8Dixi autem: Nequaquam Domine: quia commune aut immundum numquam introivit in os meum.
9But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
9Respondit autem vox secundo de cælo: Quæ Deus mundavit, tu ne commune dixeris.
10This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
10Hoc autem factum est per ter: et recepta sunt omnia rursum in cælum.
11Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
11Et ecce viri tres confestim astiterunt in domo in qua eram, missi a Cæsarea ad me.
12The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
12Dixit autem Spiritus mihi ut irem cum illis, nihil hæsitans. Venerunt autem mecum et sex fratres isti, et ingressi sumus in domum viri.
13He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
13Narravit autem nobis quomodo vidisset angelum in domo sua, stantem et dicentem sibi: Mitte in Joppen, et accersi Simonem qui cognominatur Petrus,
14who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
14qui loquetur tibi verba in quibus salvus eris tu, et universa domus tua.
15As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
15Cum autem cœpissem loqui, cecidit Spiritus Sanctus super eos, sicut et in nos in initio.
16I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
16Recordatus sum autem verbi Domini, sicut dicebat: Joannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto.
17If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
17Si ergo eamdem gratiam dedit illis Deus, sicut et nobis qui credidimus in Dominum Jesum Christum: ego quis eram, qui possem prohibere Deum?
18When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
18His auditis, tacuerunt: et glorificaverunt Deum, dicentes: Ergo et gentibus pœnitentiam dedit Deus ad vitam.
19They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
19Et illi quidem qui dispersi fuerant a tribulatione quæ facta fuerat sub Stephano, perambulaverunt usque Phœnicen, et Cyprum, et Antiochiam, nemini loquentes verbum, nisi solis Judæis.
20But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
20Erant autem quidam ex eis viri Cyprii et Cyrenæi, qui cum introissent Antiochiam, loquebantur et ad Græcos, annuntiantes Dominum Jesum.
21The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
21Et erat manus Domini cum eis: multusque numerus credentium conversus est ad Dominum.
22The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
22Pervenit autem sermo ad aures ecclesiæ quæ erat Jerosolymis super istis: et miserunt Barnabam usque ad Antiochiam.
23who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
23Qui cum pervenisset, et vidisset gratiam Dei, gavisus est: et hortabatur omnes in proposito cordis permanere in Domino:
24For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
24quia erat vir bonus, et plenus Spiritu Sancto, et fide. Et apposita est multa turba Domino.
25Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
25Profectus est autem Barnabas Tarsum, ut quæreret Saulum: quem cum invenisset, perduxit Antiochiam.
26When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
26Et annum totum conversati sunt ibi in ecclesia: et docuerunt turbam multam, ita ut cognominarentur primum Antiochiæ discipuli, christiani.
27Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
27In his autem diebus supervenerunt ab Jerosolymis prophetæ Antiochiam:
28One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
28et surgens unus ex eis nomine Agabus, significabat per spiritum famem magnam futuram in universo orbe terrarum, quæ facta est sub Claudio.
29As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
29Discipuli autem, prout quis habebat, proposuerunt singuli in ministerium mittere habitantibus in Judæa fratribus:
30which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
30quod et fecerunt, mittentes ad seniores per manus Barnabæ et Sauli.
