| [1]Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. |
[1]Now there were in the church at Antioch, [several] prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simon called Niger, and Lucius who was from the city Cyrene, and Menaen, a son of the guardians of Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul. |
| [2]As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. |
[2]And while they were fasting and making supplication to God, the Holy Spirit said to them: Separate to me Saul and Barnabas, for the work to which I have called them. |
| [3]And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. |
[3]And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hand on them, and sent them away. |
| [4]So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. |
[4]And they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they went by sea as far as Cyprus. |
| [5]And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. |
[5]And when they entered the city of Salamis, they announced the word of our Lord in the synagogues of the Jews. And John ministered to them. |
| [6]And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: |
[6]And when they had travelled over the whole island as far as the city Paphos, they found a certain man, a sorcerer, a Jew, who was a false prophet, and whose name was Bar-Suma. |
| [7]Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. |
[7]He adhered to a wise man, who was the proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulus. And the proconsul sent for Saul and Barnabas, and requested to hear from them the word of God. |
| [8]But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. |
[8]And this sorcerer, Bar-Suma, (whose name is interpreted, Elymas,) withstood them; because he wished to divert the proconsul from the faith. |
| [9]Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. |
[9]And Saul who is called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit; and he looked upon him, |
| [10]And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? |
[10]and said: O thou full of all subtilties, and all mischiefs, thou child of the calumniator, and enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? |
| [11]And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. |
[11]And now, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and shalt not see the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and he went about, inquiring who would take him by the hand. |
| [12]Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. |
[12]And when the proconsul saw what occurred, he was astonished; and he believed the doctrine of the Lord. |
| [13]Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. |
[13]And Paul and Barnabas went by sea, from the city of Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia. And John separated from them, and went away to Jerusalem. |
| [14]But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. |
[14]And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch, a city of Pisidia: and they entered the synagogue, on the sabbath day, and sat down. |
| [15]And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on. |
[15]And after the law had been read, and the prophets, the Elders of the synagogue sent to them, and said: Men, brethren, if ye have a word of exhortation, address the people. |
| [16]Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience. |
[16]And Paul arose, and waved his hand, and said: Men, sons of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear ye. |
| [17]The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it. |
[17]The God of this people chose our fathers, and raised them up, and multiplied them, when they resided in the land of Egypt; and, with a high arm, he brought them out of it. |
| [18]And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness. |
[18]And he fed them in the wilderness forty years. |
| [19]And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot. |
[19]And he extirpated seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land for an inheritance. |
| [20]And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet. |
[20]And for four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet. |
| [21]And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. |
[21]And then they asked for themselves a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years. |
| [22]And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. |
[22]And he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure. |
| [23]Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: |
[23]From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer. |
| [24]When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. |
[24]And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. |
| [25]And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose. |
[25]And while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings. |
| [26]Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. |
[26]Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and all who, with you, fear God, to you is this word of life sent. |
| [27]For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. |
[27]For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither [did they apprehend] also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written. |
| [28]And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. |
[28]And while they found no ground for [his] death, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him. |
| [29]And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. |
[29]And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre. |
| [30]But God raised him from the dead: |
[30]But God raised him from the dead. |
| [31]And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. |
[31]And he was seen many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; and they are now his witnesses to the people. |
| [32]And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, |
[32]And lo, we also announce to you, that the promise, which was made to our fathers, |
| [33]God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. |
[33]lo, God hath fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Jesus; as it is written in the second psalm: Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. |
| [34]And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. |
[34]And God hath so raised him from the dead, that he will not return again and see corruption; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of David. |
| [35]Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. |
[35]And again he said, in another place: Thou hast not given thy devout one to see corruption. |
| [36]For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: |
[36]For David, in his generation, served the pleasure of God, and went to rest, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. |
| [37]But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. |
[37]But this person, whom God raised up, did not see corruption. |
| [38]Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: |
[38]Know therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you. |
| [39]And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. |
[39]And every one that believeth in this man, is made just from all things, from which ye could not be made just by the law of Moses. |
| [40]Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets; |
[40]Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is written in the prophets: |
| [41]Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you. |
[41]Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though a man relate it to you. |
| [42]And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. |
[42]And when they had gone from them, they besought them to speak the same things to them the next sabbath day. |
| [43]Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. |
[43]And when the synagogue was dismissed, many Jews went after them, and likewise proselytes who feared God. And they conversed with them, and persuaded them to adhere to the grace of God. |
| [44]And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God. |
[44]And the next sabbath, the whole city assembled to hear the word of God. |
| [45]But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. |
[45]And when the Jews saw the great assembly, they were filled with envy, and set them selves against the words which Paul spoke, and blasphemed. |
| [46]Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. |
[46]And Paul and Barnabas said openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves to the Gentiles. |
| [47]For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. |
[47]For so hath our Lord commanded us; as it is written: I have set thee a light to the Gentiles; that thou shouldst be for life unto the ends of the earth. |
| [48]And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. |
[48]And when the Gentiles heard [this], they rejoiced and glorified God. And those believed, who were appointed to life eternal. |
| [49]And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region. |
[49]And the word of the Lord was talked of in all that region. |
| [50]But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. |
[50]But the Jews stirred up the chiefs of the city, and the opulent women who with them feared God, and set up a persecution against Paul and against Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders. |
| [51]But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. |
[51]And when they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and went to the city of Iconium. |
| [52]And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. |
[52]And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit. |
