15:15  And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

15:16  After these things I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down: and the ruins thereof I will rebuild. And I will set it up:

15:16  Post hæc revertar, et reædificabo tabernaculum David quod decidit : et diruta ejus reædificabo, et erigam illud :

15:16  After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

15:17  That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.

15:17  ut requirant ceteri hominum Dominum, et omnes gentes super quas invocatum est nomen meum, dicit Dominus faciens hæc.

15:17  That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

15:18  Notum a sæculo est Domino opus suum.

15:18  Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.

15:19  For which cause, judge that they who from among the Gentiles are converted to God are not to be disquieted:

15:19  Propter quod ego judico non inquietari eos qui ex gentibus convertuntur ad Deum,

15:19  Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

15:20  But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols and from fornication and from things strangled and from blood.

15:20  sed scribere ad eos ut abstineant se a contaminationibus simulacrorum, et fornicatione, et suffocatis, et sanguine.

15:20  But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

15:21  For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.

15:21  Moyses enim a temporibus antiquis habet in singulis civitatibus qui eum prædicent in synagogis, ubi per omne sabbatum legitur.

15:21  For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

15:22  Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company and to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.

15:22  Tunc placuit Apostolis et senioribus cum omni ecclesia eligere viros ex eis, et mittere Antiochiam cum Paulo et Barnaba : Judam, qui cognominabatur Barsabas, et Silam, viros primos in fratribus :

15:22  Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

15:23  Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.

15:23  scribentes per manus eorum : Apostoli et seniores fratres, his qui sunt Antiochiæ, et Syriæ, et Ciliciæ, fratribus ex gentibus, salutem.

15:23  And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:

15:24  Forasmuch as we have heard that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no commandment:

15:24  Quoniam audivimus quia quidam ex nobis exeuntes, turbaverunt vos verbis, evertentes animas vestras, quibus non mandavimus,

15:24  Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

15:25  It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:

15:25  placuit nobis collectis in unum eligere viros, et mittere ad vos cum carissimis nostris Barnaba et Paulo,

15:25  It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

15:26  Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15:26  hominibus qui tradiderunt animas suas pro nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

15:26  Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15:27  We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.

15:27  Misimus ergo Judam et Silam, qui et ipsi vobis verbis referent eadem.

15:27  We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.

15:28  For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:

15:28  Visum est enim Spiritui Sancto et nobis nihil ultra imponere vobis oneris quam hæc necessaria :

15:28  For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

15:29  That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication: from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.

15:29  ut abstineatis vos ab immolatis simulacrorum, et sanguine, et suffocato, et fornicatione : a quibus custodientes vos, bene agetis. Valete.

15:29  That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

15:30  They therefore, being dismissed, went down to Antioch and, gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.

15:30  Illi ergo dimissi, descenderunt Antiochiam : et congregata multitudine tradiderunt epistolam.

15:30  So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

15:31  Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

15:31  Quam cum legissent, gavisi sunt super consolatione.

15:31  Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

15:32  But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren and confirmed them.

15:32  Judas autem et Silas, et ipsi cum essent prophetæ, verbo plurimo consolati sunt fratres, et confirmaverunt.

15:32  And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

15:33  And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren unto them that had sent them.

15:33  Facto autem ibi aliquanto tempore, dimissi sunt cum pace a fratribus ad eos qui miserant illos.

15:33  And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

15:34  But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there: and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.

15:34  Visum est autem Silæ ibi remanere : Judas autem solus abiit Jerusalem.

15:34  Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

15:35  And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.

15:35  Paulus autem et Barnabas demorabantur Antiochiæ, docentes et evangelizantes cum aliis pluribus verbum Domini.

15:35  Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

15:36  And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.

15:36  Post aliquot autem dies, dixit ad Barnabam Paulus : Revertentes visitemus fratres per universas civitates in quibus prædicavimus verbum Domini, quomodo se habeant.

15:36  And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.

15:37  And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark.

15:37  Barnabas autem volebat secum assumere et Joannem, qui cognominabatur Marcus.

15:37  And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

15:38  But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.

15:38  Paulus autem rogabat eum (ut qui discessisset ab eis de Pamphylia, et non isset cum eis in opus) non debere recipi.

15:38  But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

15:39  And there arose a dissension so that they departed one from another. And Barnabas indeed, taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.

15:39  Facta est autem dissensio, ita ut discederent ab invicem, et Barnabas quidem, assumpto Marco, navigaret Cyprum.

15:39  And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

15:40  But Paul, choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.

15:40  Paulus vero, electo Sila, profectus est, traditus gratiæ Dei a fratribus.

15:40  And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

15:41  And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.

15:41  Perambulabat autem Syriam et Ciliciam, confirmans ecclesias : præcipiens custodire præcepta Apostolorum et seniorum.

15:41  And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
