4 — Acts

1And as they were speaking to the people the priests and the officer of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,Ma mentre essi parlavano al popolo, sopraggiunsero i sacerdoti, e il magistrato del tempio, e i Sadducei,AND vvhen they vvere speaking to the people, the Priests and magistrates of the temple and the Sadducees came vpon them,Loquentibus autem illis ad populum, supervenerunt sacerdotes, et magistratus templi, et sadducæi, 2Being grieved that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead:I quali non potevan patire, che istruissero il popolo, e annunziassero in Gesù la risurrezione da morte.being greeued that they taught the people, and shevved in IESVS the resurrection from the dead:dolentes quod docerent populum, et annuntiarent in Jesu resurrectionem ex mortuis: 3And they laid hands upon them and put them in hold till the next day: for it was now evening.E misero loro le mani addosso, e li fecero custodire pel dì seguente: perché era già sera.and they laid handes vpon them, and put them into vvard, vntil the morovv, for it vvas novv euening.et injecerunt in eos manus, et posuerunt eos in custodiam in crastinum: erat enim jam vespera. 4But many of them who had heard the word believed: and the number of the men was made five thousand.Molti però di coloro, che udito avevano quel sermone, credettero; e furono in numero di circa cinquemila uomini.And many of them that had heard the vvord, beleeued: and the number of the men vvas made fiue thousand.Multi autem eorum qui audierant verbum, crediderunt: et factus est numerus virorum quinque millia. 5And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes and ancients and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.Il dì seguente si adunarono i loro caporioni, e i seniori, e gli scribi in Gerusalemme;And it came to passe on the morovv, that their princes, and Auncients, and Scribes vvere gathered into Hierusalem.Factum est autem in crastinum, ut congregarentur principes eorum, et seniores, et scribæ, in Jerusalem: 6And Annas the high priest and Caiphas and John and Alexander: and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.E Anna principe de' sacerdoti, e Caifa, e Giovanni, e Alessandro, e quanti erano della stirpe sacerdotale.and Annas the high priest, and Caiphas and Iohn, and Alexander, and as many as vvere of the priests stocke.et Annas princeps sacerdotum, et Caiphas, et Joannes, et Alexander, et quotquot erant de genere sacerdotali. 7And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power or by what name, have you done this?E fattili venire alla loro presenza, gli interrogavano: Con qual podestà, o in nome di chi avete voi fatto questo?And setting them in the middes, they asked: In vvhat povver or in vvhat name haue you done this?Et statuentes eos in medio, interrogabant: In qua virtute, aut in quo nomine fecistis hoc vos ?

8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people and ancients, hear.Allor Pietro ripieno di Spirito santo, disse loro: Principi del popolo, e seniori, udite:Then Peter replenished vvith the holy Ghost, said to them, Ye princes of the people & Auncients:Tunc repletus Spiritu Sancto Petrus, dixit ad eos: Principes populi, et seniores, audite: 9If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole:Giacché noi in quest'oggi sopra l'aver fatto bene ad un uomo ammalato siamo disaminati, in qual modo questi sia stato risanato,If vve this day be examined for a good deede vpon an impotent man, in vvhat he hath been made whole,si nos hodie dijudicamur in benefacto hominis infirmi, in quo iste salvus factus est, 10Be it known to you all and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him, this man standeth here before you, whole.Sia noto a tutti voi, e a tutto il popolo d'Israele, come nel nome del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo Nazareno da voi Crocifisso, cui Dio risuscitò da morte in questo nome costui si sta dinanzi a voi sano.be it knovven to al you and to al the people of Israël, that in the name of IESVS CHRIST of Nazareth, vvhom you did crucifie, vvhom God hath raised from the dead, in this same this man standeth before you vvhole.notum sit omnibus vobis, et omni plebi Israël, quia in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Nazareni, quem vos crucifixistis, quem Deus suscitavit a mortuis, in hoc iste astat coram vobis sanus. 11This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner.Questa è la pietra rigettata da voi, che fabbricate, la quale è divenuta testata dell'angolo:This is the stone that vvas reiected of you the builders: vvhich is made into the head of the corner.Hic est lapis qui reprobatus est a vobis ædificantibus, qui factus est in caput anguli: 12Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.Né in alcun altro è salute. Imperocché non havvi sotto del cielo altro nome dato agli uomini, mercé di cui abbiam noi ad essere salvati.and there is not saluation in any other. for neither is there any other name vnder heauen giuen to men, vvherein vve must be saued.et non est in alio aliquo salus. Nec enim aliud nomen est sub cælo datum hominibus, in quo oporteat nos salvos fieri.

13Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered: and they knew them that they had been with Jesus.Vedendo quegli la costanza di Pietro, e di Giovanni, sapendo per certo, che erano uomini senza lettere, e idioti, si meravigliavano, e li riconoscevano, che erano quei, che erano stati con Gesù:And seeing Peters constancie and Iohns, vnderstanding that they vvere men vnlettered, and of the vulgar sort, they marueled, and they knew them that they had been vvith IESVS:Videntes autem Petri constantiam, et Joannis, comperto quod homines essent sine litteris, et idiotæ, admirabantur, et cognoscebant eos quoniam cum Jesu fuerant: 14Seeing the man also who had been healed, standing with them, they could say nothing against it.E osservando stante in piedi con essi quell'uomo, che era stato guarito, non potevan dire nulla in contrario.seeing the man also that had been cured, standing vvith them, they could say nothing to the contrarie.hominem quoque videntes stantem cum eis, qui curatus fuerat, nihil poterant contradicere. 15But they commanded them to go aside out of the council: and they conferred among themselves,Ordinaron però, che si ritirassero fuori dell'adunanza: e facevan consulta tra di loro,But they commaunded them to goe aside forth out of the councel: and they conferred together,Jusserunt autem eos foras extra concilium secedere: et conferebant ad invicem, 16Saying: What shall we do to these men? For indeed a miracle hath been done by them, known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest: and we cannot deny it.Dicendo: che farem noi di costoro? Conciossiaché un miracolo illustre è stato fatto da essi, noto a tutti gli abitanti di Gerusalemme: nè possiamo noi negarlo.saying, Vvhat shal vve doe to these men? for a notorious signe in deede hath been done by them, to al the inhabitants of Hierusalem: it is manifest, and vve can not denie it.dicentes: Quid faciemus hominibus istis ? quoniam quidem notum signum factum est per eos omnibus habitantibus Jerusalem: manifestum est, et non possumus negare. 17But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man.Ma affinchè non si divolghi maggiormente tra il popolo, con gravi minacce proibiamo loro che non parlino più di questo nome con alcun nome.But that it be no further spred abrode among the people, let vs threaten them, that they speake no more in this name to any man.Sed ne amplius divulgetur in populum, comminemur eis ne ultra loquantur in nomine hoc ulli hominum. 18And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.E chiamatigli, intimaron loro, che in nissun modo parlassero, né insegnassero nel nome di Gesù.And calling them, they charged them that they should not speake at al, nor teache in the name of IESVS.Et vocantes eos, denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur neque docerent in nomine Jesu.

19But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just, in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye.Ma Pietro, e Giovanni risposero, e disser loro: se sia giusto dinanzi a Dio l'ubbidire piuttosto a voi, che a Dio, giudicatelo voi:But Peter and Iohn ansvvering, said to them, If it be iust in the sight of God, to heare you rather then God, iudge ye.Petrus vero et Joannes respondentes, dixerunt ad eos: Si justum est in conspectu Dei vos potius audire quam Deum, judicate. 20For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.Imperocché non possiamo non parlare di quelle cose, che abbiamo vedute, e udite.for vve can not but speake the things vvhich vve haue seen and heard.Non enim possumus quæ vidimus et audivimus non loqui. 21But they, threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass.Ma quelli minacciatili, gli rimandarono, non trovando il modo di castigarli rispetto al popolo, perché tutti celebravano quello, che era avvenuto.But they threatening, dimissed them: not finding hovv they might punish them, for the people, because all glorified that vvhich had been done, in that vvhich vvas chaunced.At illi comminantes dimiserunt eos, non invenientes quomodo punirent eos propter populum: quia omnes clarificabant id quod factum fuerat in eo quod acciderat. 22For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought.Imperocché aveva più di quarant'anni quell'uomo, sopra di cui era stata operata quella miracolosa guarigione.For the man vvas more then fourtie yeres old in vvhom that signe of health had been vvrought.Annorum enim erat amplius quadraginta homo, in quo factum fuerat signum istud sanitatis. 23And being let go, they came to their own company and related all that the chief priests and ancients had said to them.Ed eglino posti in libertà se v'andarono da' suoi: e fecer loro parte di quanto aveangli detto i principi de' sacerdoti, ed i seniori.And being dimissed they came to theirs, and shevved al that the cheefe priests and Aucients had said to them.Dimissi autem venerunt ad suos, et annuntiaverunt eis quanta ad eos principes sacerdotum et seniores dixissent. 24Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea and all things that are in them.E quelli udito ciò, alzarono concordemente la voce a Dio, e dissero: Signore tu sei, che facesti il cielo, e la terra, il mare, e tutte le cose che sono in essi:Vvho hauing heard it, with one accord lifted vp their voice to God, and said, Lord, thou that didst make heauen & earth, the sea, and al things that are in them,Qui cum audissent, unanimiter levaverunt vocem ad Deum, et dixerunt: Domine, tu es qui fecisti cælum et terram, mare et omnia quæ in eis sunt:

25Who, by the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, hast said: Why did the Gentiles rage: and the people meditate vain things?Il quale, parlando lo Spirito santo per bocca di Davidde padre nostro, tuo servo, dicesti: per qual motivo tumultuaron le genti, e i popoli si sono prese inutili cure?vvho in the holy Ghost by the mouth of our father Dauid thy seruāt hast said, Vvhy did the Gentiles rage, and the people meditate vaine thinges:qui Spiritu Sancto per os patris nostri David pueri tui dixisti: Quare fremuerunt gentes, / et populi meditati sunt inania ? 26The kings of the earth stood up: and the princes assembled together against the Lord and his Christ.Si fecer innanzi i regi della terra, e i principi si adunarono insieme contro il Signore, e contro il suo Cristo?the kings of the earth stand vp, and the princes assemble together against our Lord, and against his CHRIST?Astiterunt reges terræ, / et principes convenerunt in unum / adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus. 27For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,Imperocché veramente si unirono in questa città contro il santo tuo figliuolo Gesù Cristo, unto da te, ed Erode, e Ponzio Pilato con le genti, e con i popoli d'Israele.For there assembled in deede in this citie against thy holy childe IESVS vvhom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, vvith the Gentiles and the people of Israël,Convenerunt enim vere in civitate ista adversus sanctum puerum tuum Jesum, quem unxisti, Herodes et Pontius Pilatus, cum gentibus et populis Israël, 28To do what thy hand and thy counsel decreed to be done.Per fare quello, che la tua mano, e il tuo consiglio preordinò, che si facesse.to doe vvhat thy hand & thy counsel decreed to be done.facere quæ manus tua et consilium tuum decreverunt fieri. 29And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants that with all confidence they may speak thy word,E adesso, o Signore, rifletti alle loro minacce, e concedi a' servi tuoi di parlare con tutta fidanza la tua parola,And novv Lord looke vpon their threatenings, and giue vnto thy seruants vvith al confidence to speake thy vvorde,Et nunc, Domine, respice in minas eorum, et da servis tuis cum omni fiducia loqui verbum tuum, 30By stretching forth thy hand to cures and signs and wonders, to be done by the name of thy holy Son, Jesus.Stendendo la tua mano a risanare, e ad operar segni, e miracoli per mezzo del nome del suo santo figliuolo Gesù.in that, that thou extend thy hand to cures and signes and vvonders to be done by the name of thy holy sonne IESVS.in eo quod manum tuam extendas ad sanitates, et signa, et prodigia fieri per nomen sancti filii tui Jesu.

31And when they had prayed, the place was moved wherein they were assembled: and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost: and they spoke the word of God with confidence.E fatta che ebber questa orazione, si scosse il luogo, dove stavano adunati: e furon tutti ripieni di Spirito santo, e parlavano con fidanza la parola di Dio.And vvhen they had praied, the palce vvas moued vvherein they vvere gathered: and they vvere al replenished vvith the holy Ghost, and they spake the vvord of God vvith confidence.Et cum orassent, motus est locus in quo erant congregati: et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et loquebantur verbum Dei cum fiducia. 32And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul. Neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed was his own: but all things were common unto them.E la moltitudine de' credenti era un sol cuore, e un'anima sola: né v'era chi delle cose, che possedeva, alcuna dicesse esser sua, ma tutto era tra essi comune.And the multitude of beleeuers had one hart and one soule: neither did any one say that ought vvas his ovvne of those things vvhich he possessed, but al things vvere common vnto them.Multitudinis autem credentium erat cor unum et anima una: nec quisquam eorum quæ possidebat, aliquid suum esse dicebat, sed erant illis omnia communia. 33And with great power did the Apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord: and great grace was in them all.E con efficacia grande rendevano gli Apostoli testimonianza della risurrezione di Gesù Cristo Signor nostro: grande era in tutti loro la grazia.And vvith great povver did the Apostles giue testimonie of the resurrection of IESVS CHRIST our Lord: and great grace vvas in al them.Et virtute magna reddebant Apostoli testimonium resurrectionis Jesu Christi Domini nostri: et gratia magna erat in omnibus illis. 34For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the price of the things they sold,E non vi era alcun bisognoso tra loro; mentre tutti coloro, che possedevano terreni, o case, li vendevano, e portavano il prezzo delle cose vendute,For neither vvas there any one needie among them. For as many as vvere ovvners of landes or houses, sold and brought the prices of those things vvhich they sold,Neque enim quisquam egens erat inter illos. Quotquot enim possessores agrorum aut domorum erant, vendentes afferebant pretia eorum quæ vendebant, 35And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.E lo deponevano a' piedi degli Apostoli. E si distribuiva a ciascheduno secondo il suo bisogno.and laid it before the feete of the Apostles. And to euery one vvas deuided according as euery one hade neede.et ponebant ante pedes Apostolorum. Dividebatur autem singulis prout cuique opus erat.

36And Joseph, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas (which is, by interpretation, The son of consolation), a Levite, a Cyprian born,E Giuseppe soprannominato Barnaba dagli Apostoli (che si interpreta Figliuolo di consolazione) Levita, nativo di Cipro,And Ioseph vvho vvas surnamed of the Apostles Barnabas (vvhich is by interpretation, the sonne of consolation) a Leuite, a Cyprian borne,Joseph autem, qui cognominatus est Barnabas ab Apostolis (quod est interpretatum, Filius consolationis), Levites, Cyprius genere, 37Having land, sold it and brought the price and laid it at the feet of the Apostles.Avendo un podere, lo vendè, e portò il prezzo, e lo posò a' piedi degli Apostoli.vvhereas he had a peece of land, sold it, and brought the price, and laid it before the feete of the Apostles.cum haberet agrum, vendidit eum, et attulit pretium, et posuit ante pedes Apostolorum.
