| [1]There was also in the Churche that was at Antioche, certayne prophetes, and teachers: as Barnabas and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, which had ben norisshed vp with Herode the tetrarch, and Saul |
[1]And profetis and doctouris weren in the chirche that was at Antioche, in which Barnabas, and Symount, that was clepid Blac, and Lucius Cironense, and Manaen, that was the soukynge fere of Eroude tetrarke, and Saul weren. |
| [2]As they ministred to the Lorde and fasted, the holy ghost sayde: Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke wherunto I haue called them |
[2]And whanne thei mynystriden to the Lord, and fastiden, the Hooli Goost seide to hem, Departe ye to me Saul and Barnabas, in to the werk to which Y haue takun hem. |
| [3]And when they had fasted & prayed, & layde their hades on the, they let the go |
[3]Thanne thei fastiden, and preieden, and leiden hondis on hem, and leten hem go. |
| [4]And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy ghost, departed vnto Seleucia, & from thence they sealed to Cyprus |
[4]But thei weren sent of the Hooli Goost, and wenten forth to Seleucia, and fro thennus thei wenten bi boot to Cipre. |
| [5]And when they were at Salamine, they preached the worde of God in the synagogues of the Iewes: And they had also Iohn to their minister |
[5]And whanne thei camen to Salamyne, thei prechiden the word of God in the synagogis of Jewis; and thei hadden also Joon in mynystrie. |
| [6]And when they had gone through the Ile vnto Paphos, they founde a certayne sorcerer, a false prophete, a Iewe, whose name was Bariesu |
[6]And whanne thei hadden walkid bi al the ile to Pafum, thei founden a man, a witche, a false profete, a Jewe, to whom the name was Bariesu, |
| [7]Which was with the deputie of the countrey, one Sergius Paulus, a prudent man: The same called vnto hym Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the worde of God |
[7]that was with the proconsul Sergius Paule, a prudent man. This clepide Barnabas and Poul, and desiride to here the word of God. |
| [8]But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne the deputie away from the fayth |
[8]But Elymas witche withstoode hem; for his name is expowned so; and he souyte to turne awei the proconsul fro bileue. |
| [9]Then Saul (which also is called Paul) beyng full of the holy ghost, set his eyes on hym |
[9]But Saul, which is seid also Paul, was fillid with the Hooli Goost, and bihelde in to hym, and seide, A! |
| [10]And sayde: O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, thou chylde of the deuyll, thou enemie of all righteousnesse, wylt thou not cease to peruert the wayes of the Lorde |
[10]thou ful of al gile, and al falsnesse, thou sone of the deuel, thou enemye of al riytwisnesse, thou leeuest not to turne vpsodoun the riytful weies of the Lord. |
| [11]And nowe beholde, the hande of the Lorde is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blynde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediatly, there fell on hym a myste, and a darcknesse, and he went about, seekyng [them] that shoulde leade hym by the hande |
[11]And now lo! the hoond of the Lord is on thee, and thou schalt be blynde, and not seynge the sunne in to a tyme. And anoon myste and derknesse felden doun on hym; and he yede aboute, and souyte hym that schulde yyue hoond to hym. |
| [12]Then the deputie, when he sawe what was done, beleued, and wondred at the doctrine of the Lorde |
[12]Thanne the proconsul, whanne he hadde seyn the dede, bileuede, wondringe on the techyng of the Lord. |
| [13]Nowe when they that were with Paul, were departed fro Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: And Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem |
[13]And whanne fro Pafum Poul hadde go bi a boot, and thei that weren with hym, thei camen to Pergen of Pamfilie; but Joon departide fro hem, and turnede ayen to Jerusalem. |
| [14]But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioche in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on ye Sabboth day, and sate downe |
[14]And thei yeden to Pergen, and camen to Antioche of Persidie; and thei entriden in to the synagoge in the dai of sabatis, and saten. |
| [15]And after the lecture of the lawe and the prophetes, the rulers of the synagogue sent vnto them, saying: Ye men and brethren, yf ye haue any worde to exhort the people, say on |
[15]And after the redyng of the lawe and of the prophetis, the princis of the synagoge senten to hem, and seiden, Britheren, if ony word of exortacioun to the puple is in you, seie ye. |
| [16]Then Paul stoode vp, and beckened with the hande, and sayde: Men of Israel, & ye that feare God, geue audience |
[16]And Poul roos, and with hoond baad silence, and seide, Men of Israel, and ye that dreden God, here ye. |
| [17]The God of this people of Israel, chose our fathers, & exalted the people, when they dwelt as straungers in the lande of Egypt, and with an hye arme brought he them out of it |
[17]God of the puple of Israel chees oure fadris, and enhaunside the puple, whanne thei weren comelingis in the loond of Egipt, and in an hiy arme he ledde hem out of it; |
| [18]And about the tyme of fourtie yeres, suffred he their maners in the wyldernesse |
[18]and bi the tyme of fourti yeeris he suffride her maneres in desert. |
| [19]And he destroyed seuen nations in the lande of Chanaan, and deuyded their lande to them by lot |
[19]And he destriede seuene folkis in the loond of Canaan, and bi sort departide to hem her lond, |
| [20]And afterwarde, he gaue vnto them iudges, about the space of foure hundred and fyftie yeres, vnto the tyme of Samuel the prophete |
[20]as aftir foure hundrid and fifti yeeris. And aftir these thingis he yaf domesmen, to Samuel, the profete. |
| [21]And afterwarde, they desired a kyng, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of the tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourtie yeres |
[21]And fro that tyme thei axiden a kyng, and God yaf to hem Saul, the sone of Cis, a man of the lynage of Beniamyn, bi fourti yeeris. |
| [22]And when he was put downe, he set vp Dauid to be their kyng, of whom he reported, saying: I haue founde Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which shall fulfyll all my wyll |
[22]And whanne he was don awei, he reiside to hem Dauid king, to whom he bar witnessing, and seide, Y haue foundun Dauid, the sone of Jesse, a man aftir myn herte, which schal do alle my willis. |
| [23]Of this mans seede, hath God accordyng to his promise brought foorth to Israel, the sauiour Iesus |
[23]Of whos seed bi the biheest God hath led out to Israel a sauyoure Jhesu, |
| [24]When Iohn had first preached before his commyng, the baptisme of repentaunce to all the people of Israel |
[24]whanne Joon prechide bifor the face of his comyng the baptym of penaunce to al the puple of Israel. |
| [25]And when Iohn had fulfylled his course, he sayde: Whom ye thynke that I am, the same am I not. But behold, there commeth one after me, whose shoes of his feete I am not worthy to loose |
[25]But whanne Joon fillide his cours, he seide, Y am not he, whom ye demen me to be; but lo! he cometh aftir me, and Y am not worthi to doon of the schoon of hise feet. |
| [26]Ye men and brethren, chyldren of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the worde of this saluation sent |
[26]Britheren, and sones of the kynde of Abraham, and whiche that in you dreden God, to you the word of helthe is sent. |
| [27]For they that dwell at Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe hym not, nor yet the voyces of the prophetes which are read euery Sabboth day, they haue fulfylled them in condempnyng hym |
[27]For thei that dwelliden at Jerusalem, and princis of it, that knewen not this Jhesu, and the voicis of prophetis, that by euery sabat ben red, demyden, and filliden; |
| [28]And though they founde no cause of death in hym, yet desired they Pilate to kyll hym |
[28]and thei founden in hym no cause of deth, and axiden of Pilat, that thei schulden sle hym. |
| [29]And when they had fulfylled all that were written of hym, they toke hym downe from the tree, and put hym in a sepulchre |
[29]And whanne thei hadden endid alle thingis that weren writun of hym, thei token hym doun of the tre, and leiden hym in a graue. |
| [30]But God raysed hym agayne from the dead |
[30]And God reiside hym fro deth in the thridde dai; which was seyn bi mony daies to |
| [31]And he was seene many dayes of them which came vp with hym from Galilee to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people |
[31]hem that wenten vp togidere with hym fro Galilee in to Jerusalem, which ben til now his witnessis to the puple. |
| [32]And we declare vnto you, howe that the promise which was made vnto the fathers |
[32]And we schewen to you the biheest that was maad to oure fadris; |
| [33]God hath fulfylled the same vnto vs their chyldren, in that he raysed vp Iesus agayne. As it is written in the seconde psalme: Thou art my sonne, this day haue I begotten thee |
[33]for God hath fulfillid this to her sones, and ayenreisid Jhesu; as in the secounde salm it is writun, Thou art my sone, to dai Y bigat thee. |
| [34]And as concernyng that he raysed him vp from the dead, nowe no more to returne to corruption, he sayde on this wyse: I wyll geue you ye holy thynges of Dauid, which are faythfull |
[34]And he ayenreiside hym fro deth, that he schulde not turne ayen in to corrupcioun, seide thus, For Y schal yyue to you the hooli trewe thingis of Dauid. |
| [35]Wherfore, he sayeth also in another place. Thou shalt not suffer thyne holy one to see corruption |
[35]And therfor and on an othere stide he seith, Thou schalt not yyue thin hooli to se corrupcioun. |
| [36]For Dauid, after he had serued his tyme, by the wyll of God fell on slepe, and was layde vnto his fathers, and sawe corruption |
[36]But Dauid in his generacioun, whanne he hadde mynstrid to the wille of God, diede, and was leid with hise fadris, and say corrupcioun; |
| [37]But he whom God raysed agayne, sawe no corruption |
[37]but he whom God reiside fro deth, say not corrupcioun. |
| [38]Be it knowen vnto you therfore, ye men & brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgeuenesse of sinnes |
[38]Therfor, britheren, be it knowun to you, that bi hym remyssioun of synnes is teld to you, fro alle synnes, of whiche ye myyten not be iustified in the lawe of Moises. |
| [39]And that by hym, all that beleue, are iustified from all thynges, from which ye coulde not be iustified by the lawe of Moyses |
[39]In this ech man that bileueth, is iustified. |
| [40]Beware therfore, lest that fall on you, which is spoken of in the prophetes |
[40]Therfor se ye, that it come not to you, that is biforeseid in the profetis, |
| [41]Beholde ye despisers, and wonder, and perishe ye: for I do a worke in your dayes, a worke which ye shal not beleue though a man declare it you |
[41]Ye dispiseris, se ye, and wondre ye, and be ye scaterid abrood; for Y worche a werk in youre daies, a werk that ye schulen not bileue, if ony man schal telle it to you. |
| [42]And when they were gone out of the synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought that they woulde preache these wordes to them ye next Sabboth |
[42]And whanne thei yeden out, thei preieden, that in the sabat suynge thei schulden speke to hem these wordis. |
| [43]Nowe when the congregation was broken vp, many of the Iewes and vertuous proselytes folowed Paul & Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God |
[43]And whanne the synagoge was left, manye of Jewis and of comelingis worschypynge God supeden Poul and Barnabas; that spaken, and counseliden hem, that thei schulden dwelle in the grace of God. |
| [44]And the next Sabboth day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God |
[44]And in the sabat suynge almest al the citee cam togidir, to here the word of God. |
| [45]But when the Iewes sawe the people, they were full of indignation, and spake agaynst those thynges which were spoken of Paul, speakyng against, and raylyng |
[45]And Jewis sien the puple, and weren fillid with enuye, and ayenseiden these thingis that weren seyd of Poul, and blasfemyden. |
| [46]Then Paul and Barnabas wared bolde, and sayde: It was meete that the worde of God shoulde first haue ben spoken to you: but seeyng ye put it from you, and thynke your selues vnworthy of euerlastyng lyfe, loe, we turne to the Gentiles |
[46]Thanne Poul and Barnabas stidfastli seiden, To you it bihofte first to speke the word of God; but for ye putten it awei, and han demyd you vnworthi to euerlastinge lijf, lo! we turnen to hethen men. |
| [47]For so hath the Lorde commaunded vs. I haue made thee a lyght of the Gentiles, that thou be the saluation vnto the ende of the worlde |
[47]For so the Lord comaundide vs, Y haue set thee in to liyt to hethen men, that thou be in to helthe to the vtmest of erthe. |
| [48]And when the Gentiles hearde this, they were glad, and glorified the worde of the Lorde, and as many as were ordayned to eternall lyfe, beleued |
[48]And hethen men herden, `and ioieden, and glorifieden the word of the Lord; and bileueden, as manye as weren bifore ordeyned to euerlastinge lijf. |
| [49]And the worde of the Lorde was publisshed throughout all the region |
[49]And the word of the Lord was sowun bi al the cuntre. |
| [50]But the Iewes moued the deuout and honest women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raysed persecution agaynst Paule and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes |
[50]But the Jewis stiriden religiouse wymmen, and onest, and the worthiest men of the citee, and stireden persecucioun ayens Poul and Barnabas, and dryuen hem out of her cuntreis. |
| [51]But they shoke of the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium |
[51]And thei schoken awei in to hem the duste of her feet, and camen to Yconye. |
| [52]And the disciples were fylled with ioy, and with the holy ghost |
[52]And the disciplis weren fillid with ioye and the Hooli Goost. |
