The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 [Thou] Theophilus, first I made a sermon of all [the] things, that Jesus began to do and teach,
1
primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus o Theophile quae coepit Iesus facere et docere
2 [till] into the day of his ascension, in which he commanded by the Holy Ghost to his apostles, whom he had chosen; [till into the day, in which he commanding to the apostles by the Holy Ghost, whom he chose, was taken up;]
2
usque in diem qua praecipiens apostolis per Spiritum Sanctum quos elegit adsumptus est
3 to whom [and] he showed himself alive after his passion, by many arguments [by many arguments, or provings], appearing to them forty days, and speaking of the realm of God.
3
quibus et praebuit se ipsum vivum post passionem suam in multis argumentis per dies quadraginta apparens eis et loquens de regno Dei
4 And he ate with them, and commanded [to them], that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but abide the promise of the Father, which ye heard, he said [he saith], by my mouth;
4
et convescens praecepit eis ab Hierosolymis ne discederent sed expectarent promissionem Patris quam audistis per os meum
5 for [soothly] John baptized in water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Ghost, after these few days [not after these many days].
5
quia Iohannes quidem baptizavit aqua vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies
6 Therefore they that were come together, asked him, and said, Lord, whether in this time thou shalt restore the kingdom of Israel? [Therefore they that had come together, asked him, saying, Lord, if in this time shalt thou restore the kingdom of Israel?]
6
igitur qui convenerant interrogabant eum dicentes Domine si in tempore hoc restitues regnum Israhel
7 And he said to them, It is not yours to know the times either moments [to know the times or moments], which the Father hath put in his power;
7
dixit autem eis non est vestrum nosse tempora vel momenta quae Pater posuit in sua potestate
8 but ye shall take the virtue of the Holy Ghost coming from above into you, and ye shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and to the utmost of the earth [and ye shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost of the earth].
8
sed accipietis virtutem supervenientis Spiritus Sancti in vos et eritis mihi testes in Hierusalem et in omni Iudaea et Samaria et usque ad ultimum terrae
9 And when he had said these things, in their sight he was lifted up, and a cloud received him from their eyes.
9
et cum haec dixisset videntibus illis elevatus est et nubes suscepit eum ab oculis eorum
10 And when they beheld him going into heaven, lo! two men stood beside them in white clothing, [And when they beheld into heaven him going, lo! two men stood nigh beside them in white clothes,]
10
cumque intuerentur in caelum eunte illo ecce duo viri adstiterunt iuxta illos in vestibus albis
11 [which] and said, Men of Galilee, what stand ye beholding into heaven? This Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall come [so], as ye saw him going into heaven.
11
qui et dixerunt viri galilaei quid statis aspicientes in caelum hic Iesus qui adsumptus est a vobis in caelum sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in caelum
12 Then they turned again to Jerusalem, from the hill that is called of Olivet, which is beside Jerusalem an holiday's journey. [Then they turned again to Jerusalem, from the hill that is called Olivet, the which is beside Jerusalem, having the journey of a sabbath.]
12
tunc reversi sunt Hierosolymam a monte qui vocatur Oliveti qui est iuxta Hierusalem sabbati habens iter
13 And when they were entered into the house, where they dwelled, they went up into the solar [And when they had entered into the supping place, they went up into the higher things, where they dwelt], Peter and John, and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas of James.
13
et cum introissent in cenaculum ascenderunt ubi manebant Petrus et Iohannes Iacobus et Andreas Philippus et Thomas Bartholomeus et Mattheus Iacobus Alphei et Simon Zelotes et Iudas Iacobi
14 All these were lastingly continuing with one will in prayer [All these were dwelling, or lasting, together in prayer], with women, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
14
hii omnes erant perseverantes unianimiter in oratione cum mulieribus et Maria matre Iesu et fratribus eius
15 In those days Peter rose up in the middle of the brethren, and said; and there was a company of men together, almost an hundred and twenty;
15
et in diebus illis exsurgens Petrus in medio fratrum dixit erat autem turba nominum simul fere centum viginti
16 Brethren, it behooveth that the scripture be filled [Men brethren it behooveth the scripture to be fulfilled], which the Holy Ghost before-said by the mouth of David, of Judas that was leader of them that took Jesus;
16
viri fratres oportet impleri scripturam quam praedixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Iuda qui fuit dux eorum qui conprehenderunt Iesum
17 and was numbered among us, and got a part of this service. [+which was numbered among us, and got the part of this ministry.]
17
quia connumeratus erat in nobis et sortitus est sortem ministerii huius
18 And this Judas had a field of the hire of wickedness, and he was hanged, and burst apart the middle [And forsooth this wielded a field of the hire of wickedness, and he hanged, burst apart the middle], and all his entrails were shed abroad.
18
et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis et suspensus crepuit medius et diffusa sunt omnia viscera eius
19 And it was made known to all men that dwelt in Jerusalem [And it was made known to all men dwelling in Jerusalem], so that that field was called Aceldama in the language of them [in the tongue of them], that is, the field of blood.
19
et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Hierusalem ita ut appellaretur ager ille lingua eorum Acheldemach hoc est ager Sanguinis
20 And it is written in the book of Psalms, The habitation of them be made desert [The habitation of him be made desert], and be there none that dwell in it, and another take his bishopric.
20
scriptum est enim in libro Psalmorum fiat commoratio eius deserta et non sit qui inhabitet in ea et episcopatum eius accipiat alius
21 Therefore it behooveth of these men, that be gathered together with us in all the time [in all time], in which the Lord Jesus entered [in], and went out among us,
21
oportet ergo ex his viris qui nobiscum congregati sunt in omni tempore quo intravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Iesus
22 and began from the baptism of John till into the day in which he was taken up from us [beginning from the baptism of John unto the day in which he was taken up from us], that one of these be made a witness of his resurrection with us.
22
incipiens a baptismate Iohannis usque in diem qua adsumptus est a nobis testem resurrectionis eius nobiscum fieri unum ex istis
23 And they ordained twain [And they ordained two], Joseph, that was called Barsabas, that was named Justus, and Matthias.
23
et statuerunt duos Ioseph qui vocabatur Barsabban qui cognominatus est Iustus et Matthiam
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, that knowest the hearts of all men, show whom thou hast chosen of these twain [of these two],
24
et orantes dixerunt tu Domine qui corda nosti omnium ostende quem elegeris ex his duobus unum
25 that one take the place of this service and apostlehood [one to take the place of this ministry and apostlehood], of which Judas trespassed, that he should go into his place.
25
accipere locum ministerii huius et apostolatus de quo praevaricatus est Iudas ut abiret in locum suum
26 And they gave lots to them, and the lot felled on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
26
et dederunt sortes eis et cecidit sors super Matthiam et adnumeratus est cum undecim apostolis
