| 1 | And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. | Cum autem perambulassent Amphipolim et Apolloniam, venerunt Thessalonicam, ubi erat synagoga Iudaeorum. |
| 2 | And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures: | Secundum consuetudinem autem Paulus introivit ad eos, et per sabbata tria disserebat eis de Scripturis, |
| 3 | Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you. | adaperiens et insinuans quia Christum oportuit pati, et resurgere a mortuis: et quia hic est Iesus Christus, quem ego annuntio vobis. |
| 4 | And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few. | Et quidam ex eis crediderunt et adiuncti sunt Paulo et Silae: et de colentibus gentilibusque multitudo magna, et mulieres nobiles non paucae. |
| 5 | But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason’s house, sought to bring them out unto the people. | Zelantes autem Iudaei, assumentesque de vulgo viros quosdam malos, et turba facta, concitaverunt civitatem: et assistentes domui Iasonis quaerebant eos producere in populum. |
| 6 | And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also; | Et cum non invenissent eos, trahebant Iasonem et quosdam fratres ad principes civitatis, clamantes: Quoniam hi qui urbem concitant, et huc venerunt, |
| 7 | Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. | quos suscepit Iason, et hi omnes contra decreta Caesaris faciunt, regem alium dicentes esse, Iesum. |
| 8 | And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things, | Concitaverunt autem plebem et principes civitatis audientes haec. |
| 9 | And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go. | Et accepta satisfactione a Iasone et a ceteris, dimiserunt eos. |
| 10 | But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews. | Fratres vero confestim per noctem dimiserunt Paulum et Silam in Beroeam. Qui cum venissent, in synagogam Iudaeorum introierunt. |
| 11 | Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so. | Hi autem erant nobiliores eorum qui sunt Thessalonicae, qui susceperunt verbum cum omni aviditate, quotidie scrutantes Scripturas, si haec ita se haberent. |
| 12 | And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few. | Et multi quidem crediderunt ex eis, et mulierum gentilium honestarum, et viri non pauci. |
| 13 | And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude. | Cum autem cognovissent in Thessalonica Iudaei quia et Beroeae praedicatum est a Paulo verbum Dei, venerunt et illuc commoventes, et turbantes multitudinem. |
| 14 | And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there. | Statimque tunc Paulum dimiserunt fratres, ut iret usque ad mare: Silas autem et Timotheus remanserunt ibi. |
| 15 | And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed. | Qui autem deducebant Paulum, perduxerunt eum usque Athenas, et accepto mandato ab eo ad Silam et Timotheum ut quam celeriter venirent ad illum, profecti sunt. |
| 16 | Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry. | Paulus autem cum Athenis eos exspectaret, incitabatur spiritus eius in ipso, videns idololatriae deditam civitatem. |
| 17 | He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there. | Disputabat igitur in synagoga cum Iudaeis et colentibus, et in foro, per omnes dies ad eos qui aderant. |
| 18 | And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection. | Quidam autem epicurei et stoici philosophi disserebant cum eo, et quidam dicebant: Quid vult seminiverbius hic dicere? Alii vero: Novorum daemoniorum videtur annuntiator esse: quia Iesum et resurrectionem annuntiabat eis. |
| 19 | And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of? | Et apprehensum eum ad Areopagum duxerunt, dicentes: Possumus scire quae est haec nova, quae a te dicitur, doctrina? |
| 20 | For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean. | nova enim quaedam infers auribus nostris: volumus ergo scire quidnam velint haec esse. |
| 21 | (Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.) | (Athenienses autem omnes, et advenae hospites, ad nihil aliud vacabant nisi aut dicere aut audire aliquid novi.) |
| 22 | But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. | Stans autem Paulus in medio Areopagi, ait: Viri Athenienses, per omnia quasi superstitiosiores vos video. |
| 23 | For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you: | Praeteriens enim, et videns simulacra vestra, inveni et aram in qua scriptum erat: Ignoto Deo. Quod ergo ignorantes colitis, hoc ego annuntio vobis. |
| 24 | God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; | Deus, qui fecit mundum, et omnia quae in eo sunt, hic caeli et terrae cum sit Dominus, non in manufactis templis habitat, |
| 25 | Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things: | nec manibus humanis colitur indigens aliquo, cum ipse det omnibus vitam, et inspirationem, et omnia: |
| 26 | And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation. | fecitque ex uno omne genus hominum inhabitare super universam faciem terrae, definiens statuta tempora, et terminos habitationis eorum, |
| 27 | That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us: | quaerere Deum si forte attrectent eum, aut inveniant, quamvis non longe sit ab unoquoque nostrum. |
| 28 | For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring. | In ipso enim vivimus, et movemur, et sumus: sicut et quidam vestrorum poëtarum dixerunt: Ipsius enim et genus sumus. |
| 29 | Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man. | Genus ergo cum simus Dei, non debemus aestimare auro, aut argento, aut lapidi, sculpturae artis, et cogitationis hominis, divinum esse simile. |
| 30 | And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance. | Et tempora quidem huius ignorantiae despiciens Deus, nunc annuntiat hominibus ut omnes ubique poenitentiam agant, |
| 31 | Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead. | eo quod statuit diem in quo iudicaturus est orbem in aequitate, in viro in quo statuit, fidem praebens omnibus, suscitans eum a mortuis. |
| 32 | And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter. | Cum audissent autem resurrectionem mortuorum, quidam quidem irridebant, quidam vero dixerunt: Audiemus te de hoc iterum. |
| 33 | So Paul went out from among them. | Sic Paulus exivit de medio eorum. |
| 34 | But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. | Quidam vero viri adhaerentes ei, crediderunt: in quibus et Dionysius Areopagita, et mulier nomine Damaris, et alii cum eis. |
