1 — Atti degli Apostoli

1The former treatise I made, O Theophilus, of all things which Jesus began to do and to teach,Io ho parlato in primo luogo, o Teofilo, di tutto quello, che principiò Gesù a fare, e ad insegnare.THE first treatise I made of al things, O Theophilus, vvhich IESVS began to doe and to teache,Primum quidem sermonem feci de omnibus, o Theophile, quæ cœpit Jesus facere et docere 2Until the day on which, giving commandments by the Holy Ghost to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up.Sino a quel giorno, in cui dati per mezzo dello Spirito santo i suoi ordini agli Apostoli, che aveva eletti, fu assunto:vntil the day vvherein giuing commaundement by the holy Ghost to the Apostles vvhom he chose, he vvas assumpted:usque in diem qua præcipiens Apostolis per Spiritum Sanctum, quos elegit, assumptus est: 3To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God.A' quali ancora si diede a veder vivo dopo la sua passione con molte riprove, apparendo ad essi per quaranta giorni, e parlando del regno di Dio.to vvhō he shevved also him self aliue after his passion in many arguments, for fourtie daies appearing to them, & speaking of the kingdom of God.quibus et præbuit seipsum vivum post passionem suam in multis argumentis, per dies quadraginta apparens eis, et loquens de regno Dei. 4And eating together with them, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but should wait for the promise of the Father, which you have heard (saith he) by my mouth.Ed essendo insieme a mensa, comandò loro di non allontanarsi da Gerusalemme, ma di aspettare la promessa del Padre, la quale (disse) avete udita dalla mia bocca:And eating vvith them, he commaunded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but should expect the promisse of the Father, vvhich you haue heard (saith he) by my mouth:Et convescens, præcepit eis ab Jerosolymis ne discederent, sed exspectarent promissionem Patris, quam audistis (inquit) per os meum: 5For John indeed baptized with water: but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost, not many days hence.Imperocché Giovanni battezzò bensì di acqua, ma voi sarete battezzati nello Spirito santo di qui a non molti giorni.for Iohn in deede baptized vvith vvater, but you shal be baptized vvith the holy Ghost after these fevv daies. •quia Joannes quidem baptizavit aqua, vos autem baptizabimini Spiritu Sancto non post multos hos dies. 6They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel?Ma quegli unitisi insieme gli domandavano dicendo: Signore, renderai tu adesso il regno ad Israele?They therfore that vvere assembled, asked him, saying, Lord, whether at this time vvilt thou restore the kingdom to Israel?Igitur qui convenerant, interrogabant eum, dicentes: Domine, si in tempore hoc restitues regnum Israël ?

7But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power:Egli però disse loro: Non si appartiene a voi di sapere i tempi, e i momenti, i quali il Padre ha ritenuti in poter suo:but he said to them, It is not for you to knovv times or moments, vvhich the Father hath put in his ovvne povver:Dixit autem eis: Non est vestrum nosse tempora vel momenta quæ Pater posuit in sua potestate: 8But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth.Ma riceverete la virtù dello Spirito santo, il quale verrà sopra di voi, e sarete a me testimoni e in Gerusalemme, e in tutta la Giudea, e nella Samaria, e sino all'estremità del mondo.but you shal receiue the vertue of the holy Ghost comming vpon you, and you shal be vvitnesses vnto me in Hierusalem, and in al Ievvrie, and Samaria, and euen to the vtmost of the earth.sed accipietis virtutem supervenientis Spiritus Sancti in vos, et eritis mihi testes in Jerusalem, et in omni Judæa, et Samaria, et usque ad ultimum terræ. 9And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight.E detto questo, a vista di essi si alzò in alto: e una nuvola lo tolse agli occhi loro.And vvhen he had said these things, in their sight he vvas eleuated: and a cloud receiued him out of their sight.Et cum hæc dixisset, videntibus illis, elevatus est: et nubes suscepit eum ab oculis eorum. 10And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments.E in quello che stavano fissamente mirando lui, che saliva al cielo, ecco che due personaggi in bianche vesti si appressarono ad essi.And vvhen they beheld him going into heauen, behold tvvo men stoode beside them in vvhite garments,Cumque intuerentur in cælum euntem illum, ecce duo viri astiterunt juxta illos in vestibus albis, 11Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come as you have seen him going into heaven.I quali anche dissero: Uomini di Galilea, perché state mirando verso del cielo? Quel Gesù, il quale tolto a voi è stato assunto al cielo, così verrà, come lo avete veduto andare al cielo.vvho also said, Ye men of Galilee, vvhy stand you looking into heauen? This IESVS vvhich is assumpted from you into heauen, shal so come as you haue seen him going into heauen.qui et dixerunt: Viri Galilæi, quid statis aspicientes in cælum ? Hic Jesus, qui assumptus est a vobis in cælum, sic veniet quemadmodum vidistis eum euntem in cælum.

12Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day’s journey.Allora ritornarono a Gerusalemme dal monte, che dicesi dell'Uliveto, il quale è vicino a Gerusalemme, quant'è il viaggio d'un giorno di sabato.Then they returned to Hierusalem from the mount that is called Oliuet, vvhich is by Hierusalem, distant a Sabboths iourney.Tunc reversi sunt Jerosolymam a monte qui vocatur Oliveti, qui est juxta Jerusalem, sabbati habens iter. 13And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus and Simon Zelotes and Jude the brother of James.E giunti ch'ei furono, salirono al cenacolo (in cui alloggiavano) Pietro, e Giacomo, e Giovanni, e Andrea, Filippo, e Tommaso, Bartolommeo, e Matteo, Giacomo figliuolo di Alfeo, e Simone Zelote, e Giuda fratello di Giacomo.And vvhen they vvere entred in, they vvent vp into an vpper chamber, vvhere abode Peter & Iohn, Iames and Andrevv, Philippe and Thomas, Bartholomevv and Mathevv, Iames of Alphaeus and Simon Zelótes, and Iude of Iames.Et cum introissent in cœnaculum, ascenderunt ubi manebant Petrus, et Joannes, Jacobus, et Andreas, Philippus, et Thomas, Bartholomæus, et Matthæus, Jacobus Alphæi, et Simon Zelotes, et Judas Jacobi. 14All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.Tutti questi perseveravano di concordia nell'orazione insieme colle donne, e con Maria Madre di Gesù, e co' fratelli di lui.Al these vvere perseuéring vvith one minde in praier vvith the vvomen and MARIE the mother of IESVS, and his brethren.Hi omnes erant perseverantes unanimiter in oratione cum mulieribus, et Maria matre Jesu, et fratribus ejus. 15In those days Peter rising up in the midst of the brethren, said (now the number of persons together was about an hundred and twenty):E in que' giorni alzatosi Pietro in mezzo ai fratelli (era il numero delle persone adunate di circa cento venti) disse:In those daies Peter rising vp in the middes of the brethren, said: (and the multitude of persons together, vvas almost an hundred and tvventie)In diebus illis, exsurgens Petrus in medio fratrum, dixit (erat autem turba hominum simul, fere centum viginti): 16Men, brethren, the scripture must needs be fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus:Fratelli, fa di mestieri, che si riduca ad effetto quel, che fu scritto, e predetto dallo Spirito santo per bocca di Davidde intorno a Giuda, il quale fu il caporione di coloro, che catturarono Gesù:You men, brethren, the scripture must be fulfilled vvhich the holy Ghost spake before by the mouth of Dauid concerning Iudas, vvho vvas the captaine of them that apprehended IESVS:Viri fratres, oportet impleri Scripturam quam prædixit Spiritus Sanctus per os David de Juda, qui fuit dux eorum qui comprehenderunt Jesum:

17Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.Egli, che fu annoverato tra noi, ed ebbe in sorte questo stesso ministero.vvho vvas numbred among vs and obteined the lot of this ministerie.qui connumeratus erat in nobis, et sortitus est sortem ministerii hujus. 18And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out.Quegli adunque acquistò un campo per ricompensa dell'iniquità, e appiccatosi crepò pel mezzo: e si sparsero tutte le sue viscere.And he in deede hath possessed a field of the revvard of iniquitie, and being hanged he burst in the middes, and al his bovvels gushed out.Et hic quidem possedit agrum de mercede iniquitatis, et suspensus crepuit medius: et diffusa sunt omnia viscera ejus. 19And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.E la cosa si è risaputa da tutti quanti gli abitatori di Gerusalemme per modo, che quel campo è venuto a chiamarsi nel loro linguaggio Haceldama, cioè Campo del sangue.And it vvas made notorious to al the inhabitants of Hierusalem: so that the same field vvas called in their tonge, Hacel-dema, that is to say, the field of bloud.Et notum factum est omnibus habitantibus Jerusalem, ita ut appellaretur ager ille, lingua eorum, Haceldama, hoc est, ager sanguinis. 20For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his bishopric let another take.Ora sta scritto nel libro de' Salmi: Diventi la loro abitazione un deserto, né siavi chi abiti in essa: e l'ufficio di lui lo abbia un altro.For it is vvritten in the booke of Psalmes. Be their habitation made desert, and be there none to dvvel in it. And his Bishoprike let another take.Scriptum est enim in libro Psalmorum: Fiat commoratio eorum deserta, et non sit qui inhabitet in ea: et episcopatum ejus accipiat alter. 21Wherefore of these men who have companied with us, all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,Bisogna adunque, che di questi uomini, i quali sono stati uniti con noi per tutto quel tempo, in cui fe' sua dimora tra noi il Signore Gesù,Therfore, of these men that haue assembled vvith vs, al the time that our Lord IESVS vvent in and vvent out among vs,Oportet ergo ex his viris qui nobiscum sunt congregati in omni tempore quo intravit et exivit inter nos Dominus Jesus, 22Beginning from the baptism of John, until the day wherein he was taken up from us, one of these must be made a witness with us of his resurrection.Cominciando dal battesimo di Giovanni sino al giorno, in cui tolto a noi fu assunto, uno di questi sia costituito testimone con noi della risurrezione di lui.beginning from the baptisme of Iohn vntil the day vvherein he vvas assumpted from vs, there must one of these be made a vvitnes vvith vs of his resurrection.incipiens a baptismate Joannis usque in diem qua assumptus est a nobis, testem resurrectionis ejus nobiscum fieri unum ex istis.

23And they appointed two, Joseph, called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.E ne nominarono due, Giuseppe detto Barsaba soprannominato il Giusto, e Mattia.And they appointed tvvo, Ioseph, vvho vvas called Barsabas, vvho vvas surnamed Iustus: and Mathias.Et statuerunt duos, Joseph, qui vocabatur Barsabas, qui cognominatus est Justus, et Mathiam. 24And praying, they said: Thou, Lord, who knowest the heart of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,E fecero orazione, dicendo: Tu, o Signore, che vedi i cuori di tutti, dichiara, quale di questi due abbi elettoAnd praying they said, Thou Lord that knovvest the harts of al men, shevv of these tvvo, one, vvhom thou hast chosen,Et orantes dixerunt: Tu Domine, qui corda nosti omnium, ostende quem elegeris ex his duobus unum, 25To take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas hath by transgression fallen, that he might go to his own place.A ricevere il posto di questo ministero, e Apostolato, da cui traviò Giuda per andare al suo luogo.to take the place of this ministerie and Apostleship, from the vvhich Iudas hath preuaricated that he might goe to his ovvne place.accipere locum ministerii hujus et apostolatus, de quo prævaricatus est Judas ut abiret in locum suum. 26And they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.E tirarono a sorte, e toccò la sorte a Mattia, ed egli fu aggregato agli undici Apostoli.And they gaue them lottes, and the lot fel vpon Mathias, and he vvas numbered vvith the eleuen Apostles.Et dederunt sortes eis, et cecidit sors super Mathiam: et annumeratus est cum undecim Apostolis.
