| 1 | Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer. | Agrippa vero ad Paulum ait: Permittitur tibi loqui pro temetipso. Tunc Paulus extenta manu coepit rationem reddere: |
| 2 | I think myself happy, O king Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews. | De omnibus quibus accusor a Iudaeis, rex Agrippa, aestimo me beatum apud te cum sim defensurus me hodie, |
| 3 | Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions that are among the Jews: Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. | maxime te sciente omnia, et quae apud Iudaeos sunt consuetudines et quaestiones: propter quod obsecro patienter me audias. |
| 4 | And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know: | Et quidem vitam meam a iuventute, quae ab initio fuit in gente mea in Ierosolymis, noverunt omnes Iudaei: |
| 5 | Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. | praescientes me ab initio (si velint testimonium perhibere) quoniam secundum certissimam sectam nostrae religionis vixi pharisaeus. |
| 6 | And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment: | Et nunc, in spe quae ad patres nostros repromissionis facta est a Deo, sto iudicio subiectus: |
| 7 | Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews. | in quam duodecim tribus nostrae nocte ac die deservientes, sperant devenire. De qua spe accusor a Iudaeis, rex. |
| 8 | Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead? | Quid incredibile iudicatur apud vos, si Deus mortuos suscitat? |
| 9 | And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. | Et ego quidem existimaveram me adversus nomen Iesu Nazareni debere multa contraria agere, |
| 10 | Which also I did at Jerusalem, and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests: and when they were put to death, I brought the sentence. | quod et feci Ierosolymis, et multos sanctorum ego in carceribus inclusi, a principibus sacerdotum potestate accepta: et cum occiderentur, detuli sententiam. |
| 11 | And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities. | Et per omnes synagogas frequenter puniens eos, compellebam blasphemare: et amplius insaniens in eos, persequebar usque in exteras civitates. |
| 12 | Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest, | In quibus dum irem Damascum cum potestate et permissu principum sacerdotum, |
| 13 | At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me, and them that were in company with me. | die media in via vidi, rex, de caelo supra splendorem solis circumfulsisse me lumen, et eos qui mecum simul erant. |
| 14 | And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. | Omnesque nos cum decidissemus in terram, audivi vocem loquentem mihi hebraica lingua: Saule, Saule, quid me persequeris? durum est tibi contra stimulum calcitrare. |
| 15 | And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. | Ego autem dixi: Quis es, domine? Dominus autem dixit: Ego sum Iesus, quem tu persequeris. |
| 16 | But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister, and a witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee, | Sed exsurge, et sta super pedes tuos: ad hoc enim apparui tibi, ut constituam te ministrum, et testem eorum quae vidisti, et eorum quibus apparebo tibi, |
| 17 | Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee: | eripiens te de populo et gentibus, in quas nunc ego mitto te, |
| 18 | To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me. | aperire oculos eorum, ut convertantur a tenebris ad lucem, et de potestate Satanae ad Deum, ut accipiant remissionem peccatorum, et sortem inter sanctos, per fidem quae est in me. |
| 19 | Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision: | Unde, rex Agrippa, non fui incredulus caelesti visioni: |
| 20 | But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance. | sed his qui sunt Damasci primum, et Ierosolymis, et in omnem regionem Iudaeae, et gentibus, annuntiabam, ut poenitentiam agerent, et converterentur ad Deum, digna poenitentiae opera facientes. |
| 21 | For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me. | Hac ex causa me Iudaei, cum essem in templo, comprehensum tentabant interficere. |
| 22 | But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets, and Moses did say should come to pass: | Auxilio autem adiutus Dei usque in hodiernum diem, sto, testificans minori atque maiori, nihil extra dicens quam ea quae prophetae locuti sunt futura esse, et Moyses, |
| 23 | That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light to the people, and to the Gentiles. | si passibilis Christus, si primus ex resurrectione mortuorum, lumen annuntiaturus est populo et gentibus. |
| 24 | As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad. | Haec loquente eo, et rationem reddente, Festus magna voce dixit: Insanis, Paule: multae te litterae ad insaniam convertunt. |
| 25 | And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness. | Et Paulus: Non insanio, inquit, optime Feste, sed veritatis et sobrietatis verba loquor. |
| 26 | For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner. | Scit enim de his rex, ad quem et constanter loquor: latere enim eum nihil horum arbitror. Neque enim in angulo quidquam horum gestum est. |
| 27 | Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest. | Credis, rex Agrippa, prophetis? Scio quia credis. |
| 28 | And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian. | Agrippa autem ad Paulum: In modico suades me christianum fieri. |
| 29 | And Paul said: I would to God, that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me, this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands. | Et Paulus: Opto apud Deum, et in modico et in magno, non tantum te, sed etiam omnes qui audiunt hodie fieri tales, qualis et ego sum, exceptis vinculis his. |
| 30 | And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them. | Et exsurrexit rex, et praeses, et Bernice, et qui assidebant eis. |
| 31 | And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands. | Et cum secessissent, loquebantur ad invicem, dicentes: Quia nihil morte aut vinculis dignum quid fecit homo iste. |
| 32 | And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar. | Agrippa autem Festo dixit: Dimitti poterat homo hic, si non appellasset Caesarem. |
