The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 One day at three o'clock in the afternoon, Peter and John were on their way into the Temple for prayer meeting.
1
Petrus autem et Iohannes ascendebant in templum ad horam orationis nonam
2 At the same time there was a man crippled from birth being carried up. Every day he was set down at the Temple gate, the one named Beautiful, to beg from those going into the Temple.
2
et quidam vir qui erat claudus ex utero matris suae baiulabatur quem ponebant cotidie ad portam templi quae dicitur Speciosa ut peteret elemosynam ab introeuntibus in templum
3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter the Temple, he asked for a handout.
3
is cum vidisset Petrum et Iohannem incipientes introire in templum rogabat ut elemosynam acciperet
4 Peter, with John at his side, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Look here."
4
intuens autem in eum Petrus cum Iohanne dixit respice in nos
5 He looked up, expecting to get something from them.
5
at ille intendebat in eos sperans se aliquid accepturum ab eis
6 Peter said, "I don't have a nickel to my name, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!"
6
Petrus autem dixit argentum et aurum non est mihi quod autem habeo hoc tibi do in nomine Iesu Christi Nazareni surge et ambula
7 He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm.
7
et adprehensa ei manu dextera adlevavit eum et protinus consolidatae sunt bases eius et plantae
8 He jumped to his feet and walked.
8
et exiliens stetit et ambulabat et intravit cum illis in templum ambulans et exiliens et laudans Dominum
9 Everybody there saw him walking around and praising God.
9
et vidit omnis populus eum ambulantem et laudantem Deum
10 They recognized him as the one who sat begging at the Temple's Gate Beautiful and rubbed their eyes, astonished, scarcely believing what they were seeing.
10
cognoscebant autem illum quoniam ipse erat qui ad elemosynam sedebat ad Speciosam portam templi et impleti sunt stupore et extasi in eo quod contigerat illi
11 The man threw his arms around Peter and John, ecstatic. All the people ran up to where they were at Solomon's Porch to see it for themselves.
11
cum teneret autem Petrum et Iohannem concurrit omnis populus ad eos ad porticum qui appellatur Salomonis stupentes
12 When Peter saw he had a congregation, he addressed the people:
12
videns autem Petrus respondit ad populum viri israhelitae quid miramini in hoc aut nos quid intuemini quasi nostra virtute aut pietate fecerimus hunc ambulare
13 The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his Son Jesus. The very One that Pilate called innocent, you repudiated.
13
Deus Abraham et Deus Isaac et Deus Iacob Deus patrum nostrorum glorificavit Filium suum Iesum quem vos quidem tradidistis et negastis ante faciem Pilati iudicante illo dimitti
14 You repudiated the Holy One, the Just One, and asked for a murderer in his place.
14
vos autem sanctum et iustum negastis et petistis virum homicidam donari vobis
15 You no sooner killed the Author of Life than God raised him from the dead - and we're the witnesses.
15
auctorem vero vitae interfecistis quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis cuius nos testes sumus
16 Faith in Jesus' name put this man, whose condition you know so well, on his feet - yes, faith and nothing but faith put this man healed and whole right before your eyes.
16
et in fide nominis eius hunc quem videtis et nostis confirmavit nomen eius et fides quae per eum est dedit integram sanitatem istam in conspectu omnium vestrum
17 "And now, friends, I know you had no idea what you were doing when you killed Jesus, and neither did your leaders.
17
et nunc fratres scio quia per ignorantiam fecistis sicut et principes vestri
18 But God, who through the preaching of all the prophets had said all along that his Messiah would be killed, knew exactly what you were doing and used it to fulfill his plans.
18
Deus autem quae praenuntiavit per os omnium prophetarum pati Christum suum implevit sic
19 "Now it's time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you,
19
paenitemini igitur et convertimini ut deleantur vestra peccata
20 and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus.
20
ut cum venerint tempora refrigerii a conspectu Domini et miserit eum qui praedicatus est vobis Iesum Christum
21 For the time being he must remain out of sight in heaven until everything is restored to order again just the way God, through the preaching of his holy prophets of old, said it would be.
21
quem oportet caelum quidem suscipere usque in tempora restitutionis omnium quae locutus est Deus per os sanctorum suorum a saeculo prophetarum
22 Moses, for instance, said, 'Your God will raise up for you a prophet just like me from your family. Listen to every word he speaks to you.
22
Moses quidem dixit quia prophetam vobis suscitabit Dominus Deus vester de fratribus vestris tamquam me ipsum audietis iuxta omnia quaecumque locutus fuerit vobis
23 Every last living soul who refuses to listen to that prophet will be wiped out from the people.'
23
erit autem omnis anima quae non audierit prophetam illum exterminabitur de plebe
24 "All the prophets from Samuel on down said the same thing, said most emphatically that these days would come.
24
et omnes prophetae a Samuhel et deinceps qui locuti sunt et adnuntiaverunt dies istos
25 These prophets, along with the covenant God made with your ancestors, are your family tree. God's covenant-word to Abraham provides the text: 'By your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.'
25
vos estis filii prophetarum et testamenti quod disposuit Deus ad patres vestros dicens ad Abraham et in semine tuo benedicentur omnes familiae terrae
26 But you are first in line: God, having raised up his Son, sent him to bless you as you turn, one by one, from your evil ways."
26
vobis primum Deus suscitans Filium suum misit eum benedicentem vobis ut convertat se unusquisque a nequitia sua
