Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
1Loquentibus autem illis ad populum, supervenerunt sacerdotes, et magistratus templi, et sadducæi,
2being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
2dolentes quod docerent populum, et annuntiarent in Jesu resurrectionem ex mortuis:
3They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
3et injecerunt in eos manus, et posuerunt eos in custodiam in crastinum: erat enim jam vespera.
4But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
4Multi autem eorum qui audierant verbum, crediderunt: et factus est numerus virorum quinque millia.
5In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
5Factum est autem in crastinum, ut congregarentur principes eorum, et seniores, et scribæ, in Jerusalem:
6Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
6et Annas princeps sacerdotum, et Caiphas, et Joannes, et Alexander, et quotquot erant de genere sacerdotali.
7When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
7Et statuentes eos in medio, interrogabant: In qua virtute, aut in quo nomine fecistis hoc vos?
8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
8Tunc repletus Spiritu Sancto Petrus, dixit ad eos: Principes populi, et seniores, audite:
9if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
9si nos hodie dijudicamur in benefacto hominis infirmi, in quo iste salvus factus est,
10may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
10notum sit omnibus vobis, et omni plebi Israël, quia in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Nazareni, quem vos crucifixistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, in hoc iste astat coram vobis sanus.
11He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
11Hic est lapis qui reprobatus est a vobis ædificantibus, qui factus est in caput anguli:
12There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
12et non est in alio aliquo salus. Nec enim aliud nomen est sub cælo datum hominibus, in quo oporteat nos salvos fieri.
13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
13Videntes autem Petri constantiam, et Joannis, comperto quod homines essent sine litteris, et idiotæ, admirabantur, et cognoscebant eos quoniam cum Jesu fuerant:
14Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
14hominem quoque videntes stantem cum eis, qui curatus fuerat, nihil poterant contradicere.
15But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
15Jusserunt autem eos foras extra concilium secedere: et conferebant ad invicem,
16saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.
16dicentes: Quid faciemus hominibus istis? quoniam quidem notum signum factum est per eos omnibus habitantibus Jerusalem: manifestum est, et non possumus negare.
17But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”
17Sed ne amplius divulgetur in populum, comminemur eis ne ultra loquantur in nomine hoc ulli hominum.
18They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
18Et vocantes eos, denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur neque docerent in nomine Jesu.
19But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
19Petrus vero et Joannes respondentes, dixerunt ad eos: Si justum est in conspectu Dei vos potius audire quam Deum, judicate.
20for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
20Non enim possumus quæ vidimus et audivimus non loqui.
21When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
21At illi comminantes dimiserunt eos, non invenientes quomodo punirent eos propter populum: quia omnes clarificabant id quod factum fuerat in eo quod acciderat.
22For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
22Annorum enim erat amplius quadraginta homo, in quo factum fuerat signum istud sanitatis.
23Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
23Dimissi autem venerunt ad suos, et annuntiaverunt eis quanta ad eos principes sacerdotum et seniores dixissent.
24When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
24Qui cum audissent, unanimiter levaverunt vocem ad Deum, et dixerunt: Domine, tu es qui fecisti cælum et terram, mare et omnia quæ in eis sunt:
25who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
25qui Spiritu Sancto per os patris nostri David pueri tui dixisti: [Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania?
26The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
26Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus.]
27“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
27Convenerunt enim vere in civitate ista adversus sanctum puerum tuum Jesum, quem unxisti, Herodes et Pontius Pilatus, cum gentibus et populis Israël,
28to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
28facere quæ manus tua et consilium tuum decreverunt fieri.
29Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
29Et nunc, Domine, respice in minas eorum, et da servis tuis cum omni fiducia loqui verbum tuum,
30while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
30in eo quod manum tuam extendas ad sanitates, et signa, et prodigia fieri per nomen sancti filii tui Jesu.
31When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
31Et cum orassent, motus est locus in quo erant congregati: et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et loquebantur verbum Dei cum fiducia.
32The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
32Multitudinis autem credentium erat cor unum et anima una: nec quisquam eorum quæ possidebat, aliquid suum esse dicebat, sed erant illis omnia communia.
33With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
33Et virtute magna reddebant Apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri: et gratia magna erat in omnibus illis.
34For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
34Neque enim quisquam egens erat inter illos. Quotquot enim possessores agrorum aut domorum erant, vendentes afferebant pretia eorum quæ vendebant,
35and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
35et ponebant ante pedes Apostolorum. Dividebatur autem singulis prout cuique opus erat.
36Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
36Joseph autem, qui cognominatus est Barnabas ab Apostolis (quod est interpretatum, Filius consolationis), Levites, Cyprius genere,
37having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
37cum haberet agrum, vendidit eum, et attulit pretium, et posuit ante pedes Apostolorum.
