| [1]But there were in the church of Antiokia prophets and teachers, Bar Naba and Shemun who was called Niger, and Lukios who was from the city of Kyrene, and Manael, a fosterbrother of Herodes Tetrarka, and Shaol. |
[1]There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certain Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had been brought up with Herod the Tetrarch) and Saul. |
| [2]And as they fasted and supplicated Aloha, the Spirit of Holiness said to them, Separate to me Shaol and Bar Naba for the work to which I have called them. |
[2]Now 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. |
| [3]And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid upon them the hand, and dismissed them. |
[3]Then fasted they and prayed, and laid their hands on them, and let them go. |
| [4]And they, being sent by the Spirit of Holiness, went down to Selukia, and from thence proceeded by sea to Cyprus. |
[4]And they, after they were sent forth of the Holy Ghost, came down unto Seleucia, and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. |
| [5]And when they had entered the city Salamina, they preached the word of our Lord in the congregations of the Jihudoyee, and Juhanon ministered to them. |
[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. |
| [6]And when they had itinerated through the whole island unto the city Paphos, they found a man, a certain sorcerer, a Jihudoya, who was a false prophet, whose name was Bar Shuma. |
[6]So when they had gone throughout the Isle unto Paphus, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Jew, named Barjesus, |
| [7]This adhered to a wise man who was proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulos. And the proconsul called Shaol and Bar Naba and requested to hear from them the word of Aloha. |
[7]Which was with the Deputy Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. |
| [8]But this sorcerer, Bar Shuma, whose name interpreted is Elymos, stood against them, because he desired to avert the proconsul from faith. |
[8]But Elymas, the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, and sought to turn away the Deputy from the faith. |
| [9]But Shaol, he who is called PAULOS, was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and beheld him, |
[9]Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, |
| [10]And said, O full of all deceits and all wickednesses, thou son of the devil, and adversary of all righteousness, ceasest thou not to pervert the right ways of the Lord? |
[10]And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, the child of the devil, and enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease to pervert the straight ways of the Lord? |
| [11]And now the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not see the sun until the time. And in the hour there fell upon him obscurity and darkness, and he went about asking some one to hold him by the hand. |
[11]Now therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not see 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. |
| [12]But when the proconsul saw what had been done, he wondered, and believed in the doctrine of the Lord. |
[12]Then the Deputy when he saw what was done, believed, and was astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. |
| [13]BUT Paulos and Bar Naba went on by sea from the City Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia; and Juhanon separated from them, and went to Urishlem. |
[13]Now when Paul and they that were with him were departed by ship from Paphus, they came to Perga a city of Pamphylia: then John departed from them, and returned to Jerusalem. |
| [14]But they went forth from Perga, and came to Antiokia, the city of Pisidia. And they entered the synagogue, and sat on the day of shabath. |
[14]But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a city of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down. |
| [15]And after the law and the prophets had been read, the presbyters of the synagogue sent to them, and said, Men, brethren, have you a word of exhortation to say to the people? |
[15]And after the lecture of the Law and 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. |
| [16]And Paulos arose, and signed with his hand, and said to them: Men, sons of Israel, and those who fear Aloha, hearken! |
[16]Then Paul stood up and beckoned with the hand, and said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken. |
| [17]The God of this people elected our fathers, and exalted and magnified them, when they were sojourners in the land of Metsreen, and with uplifted arm brought them out therefrom. |
[17]The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out thereof. |
| [18]And he nourished them in the desert forty years. |
[18]And about the time of forty years, suffered he their manners in the wilderness. |
| [19]And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land an inheritance. |
[19]And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, and divided their land to them by lot. |
| [20]And four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges, until Shamuel the prophet; |
[20]Then afterward he gave unto them Judges about four hundred and fifty years, unto the time of Samuel the Prophet. |
| [21]And then prayed they for themselves a king; and Aloha gave to them Shaol-bar-Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years. |
[21]So after that 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. |
| [22]And he took him, and raised unto them David the king, and testified of him, and said, I have found David, the son of Jeshai, a man according to my heart; he will perform all my will. |
[22]And after he had taken him away, he raised up David to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which will do all things that I will. |
| [23]From the seed of this [man] the God of Israel, as he had promised, raised up Jeshu the Redeemer. |
[23]Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised up to Israel, the Savior Jesus: |
| [24]And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole people of Israel. |
[24]When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. |
| [25]And while Juhanon accomplished his ministry, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not [he], but, behold, he cometh after me, he, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose. |
[25]And when John had fulfilled his course, he said, Whom ye think that I am, I am not he: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoe of his feet I am not worthy to loose. |
| [26]MEN, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and they among you who fear Aloha, unto you is sent the word of life. |
[26]Ye men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. |
| [27]For they, the inhabitants of Urishlem and their princes, have not consented thereto, nor also to the writings of the prophets which are read on every shabath; but condemned him, and accomplished all that was written. |
[27]For the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the words of the Prophets, which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. |
| [28]And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might kill him. |
[28]And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him. |
| [29]And when they had fulfilled every thing that was written concerning him, they took him from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre. |
[29]And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in a sepulcher. |
| [30]But Aloha raised him from among the dead. |
[30]But God raised him up from the dead. |
| [31]And he was seen days many by those who had come up with him from Galila to Urishlem, and they are now his witnesses unto the people. |
[31]And he was seen many days of them, which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, which are his witnesses unto the people. |
| [32]And we also, behold, we preach to you that that promise which was made to our fathers, |
[32]And we declare unto you, that touching the promise made unto the fathers, |
| [33]Behold, Aloha hath fulfilled it to their children, [in] that he hath raised up Jeshu; as it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. |
[33]God hath fulfilled it unto us their children, in that he raised up Jesus, even as it is written in the second Psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee. |
| [34]And thus did Aloha raise him from among the dead, that again he should not return thither to see corruption; |
[34]Now as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, no more to return to the grave, he hath said thus, I will give you the holy things of David, which are faithful. |
| [35]As he had said, I will give you the sure grace of David. And again he hath said in another place, Thou hast not given thy Saint to see corruption. |
[35]Wherefore he saith also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption. |
| [36]For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. |
[36]Howbeit, David after he had served his time by the counsel of God, he slept, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption. |
| [37]But This whom Aloha raised saw no corruption. |
[37]But he whom God raised up, saw no corruption. |
| [38]Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins; |
[38]Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins. |
| [39]And from all [from] which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified. |
[39]And from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the Law of Moses, by him every one that believeth, is justified. |
| [40]Beware, then, lest there come upon you that which is written in the prophets: |
[40]Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets, |
| [41]Behold, despisers, and wonder, and perish: For a work I work in your days which you will not believe if one should declare it to you. |
[41]Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall not believe, if a man would declare it you. |
| [42]And when they had gone out from among them, they besought of them that the next shabath they would speak to them these words. |
[42]Â And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles besought, that they would preach these words to them the next Sabbath day. |
| [43]And when the congregation was dissolved, many Jihudoyee went after them; and also the proselytes who worshipped Aloha. And they discoursed [with] and persuaded them to cleave to the grace of Aloha. |
[43]Now when the congregation was dissolved, many of the Jews, and proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God. |
| [44]AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha. |
[44]And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together, to hear the word of God. |
| [45]And when the Jihudoyee saw the great assemblage, they were filled with envy, and arose against the words which Paulos spake, and blasphemed. |
[45]But when the Jews saw the people, they were full of envy, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them and railing , on them. |
| [46]But Paulos and Bar Naba said to them openly, To you it behoved first to speak the word of Aloha; but because you repel it from you, and determine against yourselves that you are not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. |
[46]Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken unto you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. |
| [47]For so hath our Lord commanded, as it is written, I have set thee a light to the Gentiles, to be for salvation to the ends of the earth. |
[47]For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the salvation unto the end of the world. |
| [48]And when the Gentiles heard, they rejoiced and glorified Aloha; and they believed who were disposedⓘ unto eternal life. |
[48]And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained unto eternal life, believed. |
| [49]And the word of Aloha was spoken in all that region. |
[49]Thus the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country. |
| [50]But the Jihudoyee excited the principal men of the city and [certain] rich women, who with them feared Aloha, and raised a persecution against Paulos and against Bar Naba, and cast them out from their bounds. |
[50]But the Jews stirred certain devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts. |
| [51]And as they went forth, they shook off against them the dust of their feet; and they came to Ikanon, a city. |
[51]But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium. |
| [52]And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit of Holiness. |
[52]And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. |
