The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 erant autem in ecclesia quae erat Antiochiae prophetae et doctores in quibus Barnabas et Symeon qui vocabatur Niger et Lucius Cyrenensis et Manaen qui erat Herodis tetrarchae conlactaneus et Saulus
1
Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 ministrantibus autem illis Domino et ieiunantibus dixit Spiritus Sanctus separate mihi Barnaban et Saulum in opus quod adsumpsi eos
2
As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
3 tunc ieiunantes et orantes inponentesque eis manus dimiserunt illos
3
Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.
4 et ipsi quidem missi ab Spiritu Sancto abierunt Seleuciam et inde navigaverunt Cyprum
4
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 et cum venissent Salamina praedicabant verbum Dei in synagogis Iudaeorum habebant autem et Iohannem in ministerio
5
And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant.
6 et cum perambulassent universam insulam usque Paphum invenerunt quendam virum magum pseudoprophetam Iudaeum cui nomen erat Bariesu
6
Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,
7 qui erat cum proconsule Sergio Paulo viro prudente hic accitis Barnaba et Saulo desiderabat audire verbum Dei
7
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.
8 resistebat autem illis Elymas magus sic enim interpretatur nomen eius quaerens avertere proconsulem a fide
8
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Saulus autem qui et Paulus repletus Spiritu Sancto intuens in eum
9
Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him
10 dixit o plene omni dolo et omni fallacia fili diaboli inimice omnis iustitiae non desinis subvertere vias Domini rectas
10
and said, "O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
11 et nunc ecce manus Domini super te et eris caecus non videns solem usque ad tempus et confestim cecidit in eum caligo et tenebrae et circumiens quaerebat qui ei manum daret
11
And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12 tunc proconsul cum vidisset factum credidit admirans super doctrinam Domini
12
Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 et cum a Papho navigassent Paulus et qui cum eo venerunt Pergen Pamphiliae Iohannes autem discedens ab eis reversus est Hierosolymam
13
Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.
14 illi vero pertranseuntes Pergen venerunt Antiochiam Pisidiae et ingressi synagogam die sabbatorum sederunt
14
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
15 post lectionem autem legis et prophetarum miserunt principes synagogae ad eos dicentes viri fratres si quis est in vobis sermo exhortationis ad plebem dicite
15
And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on."
16 surgens autem Paulus et manu silentium indicens ait viri israhelitae et qui timetis Deum audite
16
Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen:
17 Deus plebis Israhel elegit patres nostros et plebem exaltavit cum essent incolae in terra Aegypti et in brachio excelso eduxit eos ex ea
17
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He brought them out of it.
18 et per quadraginta annorum tempus mores eorum sustinuit in deserto
18
Now for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness.
19 et destruens gentes septem in terra Chanaan sorte distribuit eis terram eorum
19
And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment.
20 quasi post quadringentos et quinquaginta annos et post haec dedit iudices usque ad Samuhel prophetam
20
After that He gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 et exinde postulaverunt regem et dedit illis Deus Saul filium Cis virum de tribu Beniamin annis quadraginta
21
And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 et amoto illo suscitavit illis David regem cui et testimonium perhibens dixit inveni David filium Iesse virum secundum cor meum qui faciet omnes voluntates meas
22
And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'
23 huius Deus ex semine secundum promissionem eduxit Israhel salvatorem Iesum
23
From this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Savior--Jesus--
24 praedicante Iohanne ante faciem adventus eius baptismum paenitentiae omni populo Israhel
24
after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 cum impleret autem Iohannes cursum suum dicebat quem me arbitramini esse non sum ego sed ecce venit post me cuius non sum dignus calciamenta pedum solvere
25
And as John was finishing his course, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'
26 viri fratres filii generis Abraham et qui in vobis timent Deum vobis verbum salutis huius missum est
26
Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.
27 qui enim habitabant Hierusalem et principes eius hunc ignorantes et voces prophetarum quae per omne sabbatum leguntur iudicantes impleverunt
27
For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in condemning Him.
28 et nullam causam mortis invenientes in eum petierunt a Pilato ut interficerent eum
28
And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.
29 cumque consummassent omnia quae de eo scripta erant deponentes eum de ligno posuerunt in monumento
29
Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
30 Deus vero suscitavit eum a mortuis qui visus est per dies multos his
30
But God raised Him from the dead.
31 qui simul ascenderant cum eo de Galilaea in Hierusalem qui usque nunc sunt testes eius ad plebem
31
He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.
32 et nos vobis adnuntiamus ea quae ad patres nostros repromissio facta est
32
And we declare to you glad tidings--that promise which was made to the fathers.
33 quoniam hanc Deus adimplevit filiis nostris resuscitans Iesum sicut et in psalmo secundo scriptum est Filius meus es tu ego hodie genui te
33
God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'
34 quod autem suscitaverit eum a mortuis amplius iam non reversurum in corruptionem ita dixit quia dabo vobis sancta David fidelia
34
And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: 'I will give you the sure mercies of David.'
35 ideoque et alias dicit non dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem
35
Therefore He also says in another Psalm: 'You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.'
36 David enim sua generatione cum administrasset voluntati Dei dormivit et adpositus est ad patres suos et vidit corruptionem
36
"For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;
37 quem vero Deus suscitavit non vidit corruptionem
37
but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.
38 notum igitur sit vobis viri fratres quia per hunc vobis remissio peccatorum adnuntiatur ab omnibus quibus non potuistis in lege Mosi iustificari
38
Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;
39 in hoc omnis qui credit iustificatur
39
and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 videte ergo ne superveniat quod dictum est in prophetis
40
Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:
41 videte contemptores et admiramini et disperdimini quia opus operor ego in diebus vestris opus quod non credetis si quis enarraverit vobis
41
"Behold, you despisers, Marvel and perish! For I work a work in your days, A work which you will by no means believe, Though one were to declare it to you.' "
42 exeuntibus autem illis rogabant ut sequenti sabbato loquerentur sibi verba haec
42
So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43 cumque dimissa esset synagoga secuti sunt multi Iudaeorum et colentium advenarum Paulum et Barnaban qui loquentes suadebant eis ut permanerent in gratia Dei
43
Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 sequenti vero sabbato paene universa civitas convenit audire verbum Domini
44
On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.
45 videntes autem turbas Iudaei repleti sunt zelo et contradicebant his quae a Paulo dicebantur blasphemantes
45
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.
46 tunc constanter Paulus et Barnabas dixerunt vobis oportebat primum loqui verbum Dei sed quoniam repellitis illud et indignos vos iudicastis aeternae vitae ecce convertimur ad gentes
46
Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 sic enim praecepit nobis Dominus posui te in lumen gentibus ut sis in salutem usque ad extremum terrae
47
For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.' "
48 audientes autem gentes gavisae sunt et glorificabant verbum Domini et crediderunt quotquot erant praeordinati ad vitam aeternam
48
Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.
49 disseminabatur autem verbum Domini per universam regionem
49
And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.
50 Iudaei autem concitaverunt religiosas mulieres et honestas et primos civitatis et excitaverunt persecutionem in Paulum et Barnaban et eiecerunt eos de finibus suis
50
But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.
51 at illi excusso pulvere pedum in eos venerunt Iconium
51
But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 discipuli quoque replebantur gaudio et Spiritu Sancto
52
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
