The Latin Vulgate VUL
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 et quidam descendentes de Iudaea docebant fratres quia nisi circumcidamini secundum morem Mosi non potestis salvi fieri
1
And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren -- `If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;'
2 facta ergo seditione non minima Paulo et Barnabae adversum illos statuerunt ut ascenderent Paulus et Barnabas et quidam alii ex illis ad apostolos et presbyteros in Hierusalem super hac quaestione
2
there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question,
3 illi igitur deducti ab ecclesia pertransiebant Foenicen et Samariam narrantes conversionem gentium et faciebant gaudium magnum omnibus fratribus
3
they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren.
4 cum autem venissent Hierosolymam suscepti sunt ab ecclesia et ab apostolis et senioribus adnuntiantes quanta Deus fecisset cum illis
4
And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them;
5 surrexerunt autem quidam de heresi Pharisaeorum qui crediderant dicentes quia oportet circumcidi eos praecipere quoque servare legem Mosi
5
and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying -- `It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.'
6 conveneruntque apostoli et seniores videre de verbo hoc
6
And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,
7 cum autem magna conquisitio fieret surgens Petrus dixit ad eos viri fratres vos scitis quoniam ab antiquis diebus in nobis elegit Deus per os meum audire gentes verbum evangelii et credere
7
and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, `Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;
8 et qui novit corda Deus testimonium perhibuit dans illis Spiritum Sanctum sicut et nobis
8
and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
9 et nihil discrevit inter nos et illos fide purificans corda eorum
9
and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;
10 nunc ergo quid temptatis Deum inponere iugum super cervicem discipulorum quod neque patres nostri neque nos portare potuimus
10
now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 sed per gratiam Domini Iesu credimus salvari quemadmodum et illi
11
but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.'
12 tacuit autem omnis multitudo et audiebant Barnaban et Paulum narrantes quanta fecisset Deus signa et prodigia in gentibus per eos
12
And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;
13 et postquam tacuerunt respondit Iacobus dicens viri fratres audite me
13
and after they are silent, James answered, saying, `Men, brethren, hearken to me;
14 Simeon narravit quemadmodum primum Deus visitavit sumere ex gentibus populum nomini suo
14
Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name,
15 et huic concordant verba prophetarum sicut scriptum est
15
and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written:
16 post haec revertar et aedificabo tabernaculum David quod decidit et diruta eius reaedificabo et erigam illud
16
After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright --
17 ut requirant ceteri hominum Dominum et omnes gentes super quas invocatum est nomen meum dicit Dominus faciens haec
17
that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things.
18 notum a saeculo est Domino opus suum
18
`Known from the ages to God are all His works;
19 propter quod ego iudico non inquietari eos qui ex gentibus convertuntur ad Deum
19
wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God,
20 sed scribere ad eos ut abstineant se a contaminationibus simulacrorum et fornicatione et suffocatis et sanguine
20
but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood;
21 Moses enim a temporibus antiquis habet in singulis civitatibus qui eum praedicent in synagogis ubi per omne sabbatum legitur
21
for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him -- in the synagogues every sabbath being read.'
22 tunc placuit apostolis et senioribus cum omni ecclesia eligere viros ex eis et mittere Antiochiam cum Paulo et Barnaba Iudam qui cognominatur Barsabban et Silam viros primos in fratribus
22
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas -- Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren --
23 scribentes per manus eorum apostoli et seniores fratres his qui sunt Antiochiae et Syriae et Ciliciae fratribus ex gentibus salutem
23
having written through their hand thus: `The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who [are] of the nations, greeting;
24 quoniam audivimus quia quidam ex nobis exeuntes turbaverunt vos verbis evertentes animas vestras quibus non mandavimus
24
seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge,
25 placuit nobis collectis in unum eligere viros et mittere ad vos cum carissimis nostris Barnaba et Paulo
25
it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul --
26 hominibus qui tradiderunt animas suas pro nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi
26
men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ --
27 misimus ergo Iudam et Silam qui et ipsi vobis verbis referent eadem
27
we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things.
28 visum est enim Spiritui Sancto et nobis nihil ultra inponere vobis oneris quam haec necessario
28
`For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things:
29 ut abstineatis vos ab immolatis simulacrorum et sanguine suffocato et fornicatione a quibus custodientes vos bene agetis valete
29
to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!'
30 illi igitur dimissi descenderunt Antiochiam et congregata multitudine tradiderunt epistulam
30
They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle,
31 quam cum legissent gavisi sunt super consolatione
31
and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation;
32 Iudas autem et Silas et ipsi cum essent prophetae verbo plurimo consolati sunt fratres et confirmaverunt
32
Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm,
33 facto autem ibi tempore dimissi sunt cum pace a fratribus ad eos qui miserant illos
33
and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brethren unto the apostles;
34 []
34
and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.
35 Paulus autem et Barnabas demorabantur Antiochiae docentes et evangelizantes cum aliis pluribus verbum Domini
35
And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news -- with many others also -- the word of the Lord;
36 post aliquot autem dies dixit ad Barnaban Paulus revertentes visitemus fratres per universas civitates in quibus praedicavimus verbum Domini quomodo se habeant
36
and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, `Having turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord -- how they are.'
37 Barnabas autem volebat secum adsumere et Iohannem qui cognominatur Marcus
37
And Barnabas counseled to take with [them] John called Mark,
38 Paulus autem rogabat eum qui discessisset ab eis a Pamphilia et non isset cum eis in opus non debere recipi eum
38
and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;
39 facta est autem dissensio ita ut discederent ab invicem et Barnabas adsumpto Marco navigaret Cyprum
39
there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus,
40 Paulus vero electo Sila profectus est traditus gratiae Domini a fratribus
40
and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brethren;
41 perambulabat autem Syriam et Ciliciam confirmans ecclesias
41
and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
