The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
26 angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Philippum dicens surge et vade contra meridianum ad viam quae descendit ab Hierusalem in Gazam haec est deserta
26
Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”
27 et surgens abiit et ecce vir aethiops eunuchus potens Candacis reginae Aethiopum qui erat super omnes gazas eius venerat adorare in Hierusalem
27
So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,
28 et revertebatur sedens super currum suum legensque prophetam Esaiam
28
and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet.
29 dixit autem Spiritus Philippo accede et adiunge te ad currum istum
29
The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
30 adcurrens autem Philippus audivit illum legentem Esaiam prophetam et dixit putasne intellegis quae legis
30
Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
31 qui ait et quomodo possum si non aliquis ostenderit mihi rogavitque Philippum ut ascenderet et sederet secum
31
“How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 locus autem scripturae quam legebat erat hic tamquam ovis ad occisionem ductus est et sicut agnus coram tondente se sine voce sic non aperuit os suum
32
This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
33 in humilitate iudicium eius sublatum est generationem illius quis enarrabit quoniam tollitur de terra vita eius
33
In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.”
34 respondens autem eunuchus Philippo dixit obsecro te de quo propheta dicit hoc de se an de alio aliquo
34
The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”
35 aperiens autem Philippus os suum et incipiens ab scriptura ista evangelizavit illi Iesum
35
Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
36 et dum irent per viam venerunt ad quandam aquam et ait eunuchus ecce aqua quid prohibet me baptizari
36
As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized? ”
37 []
38 et iussit stare currum et descenderunt uterque in aquam Philippus et eunuchus et baptizavit eum
38
And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.
39 cum autem ascendissent de aqua Spiritus Domini rapuit Philippum et amplius non vidit eum eunuchus ibat enim per viam suam gaudens
39
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.
40 Philippus autem inventus est in Azoto et pertransiens evangelizabat civitatibus cunctis donec veniret Caesaream
40
Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.
