| [1]Ἦσαν ⸀δὲ ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ κατὰ τὴν οὖσαν ἐκκλησίαν προφῆται καὶ διδάσκαλοι ὅ τε Βαρναβᾶς καὶ Συμεὼν ὁ καλούμενος Νίγερ, καὶ Λούκιος ὁ Κυρηναῖος, Μαναήν τε Ἡρῴδου τοῦ τετραάρχου σύντροφος καὶ Σαῦλος. |
[1]NOW there were in the church at An'ti-och prophets and teachers; Bar'na-bas, and Simeon who was called Ni'ger, and Lu'cius from the city of Cy-rene, and Man'a-el, who was the son of the man who brought up Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. |
| [2]λειτουργούντων δὲ αὐτῶν τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ νηστευόντων εἶπεν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον· Ἀφορίσατε δή μοι τὸν Βαρναβᾶν ⸀καὶ Σαῦλον εἰς τὸ ἔργον ὃ προσκέκλημαι αὐτούς. |
[2]As they fasted and prayed to God, the Holy Spirit said to them, Appoint for me Saul and Bar'na-bas for the work to which I have called them. |
| [3]τότε νηστεύσαντες καὶ προσευξάμενοι καὶ ἐπιθέντες τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῖς ἀπέλυσαν. |
[3]So, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. |
| [4]⸀Αὐτοὶ μὲν οὖν ἐκπεμφθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ ⸂ἁγίου πνεύματος⸃ κατῆλθον ⸀εἰς Σελεύκειαν, ἐκεῖθέν ⸀τε ἀπέπλευσαν ⸁εἰς Κύπρον, |
[4]Thus these two were sent forth by the Holy Spirit, and went down to Se-leu'ci-a; and from there they sailed to Cy'prus. |
| [5]καὶ γενόμενοι ἐν Σαλαμῖνι κατήγγελλον τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων· εἶχον δὲ καὶ Ἰωάννην ὑπηρέτην. |
[5]And when they had entered the city of Sal'a-mis, they preached the word of our LORD in the synagogues of the Jews: and John ministered unto them. |
| [6]διελθόντες δὲ ⸀ὅλην τὴν νῆσον ἄχρι Πάφου εὗρον ⸀ἄνδρα τινὰ μάγον ψευδοπροφήτην Ἰουδαῖον ᾧ ὄνομα ⸀Βαριησοῦ, |
[6]And when they had traveled the whole island as far as the city of Pa'phos, they found a Jewish sorcerer, who was a false prophet and whose name was Bar-Shu'ma: |
| [7]ὃς ἦν σὺν τῷ ἀνθυπάτῳ Σεργίῳ Παύλῳ, ἀνδρὶ συνετῷ. οὗτος προσκαλεσάμενος Βαρναβᾶν καὶ Σαῦλον ἐπεζήτησεν ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ· |
[7]Who was very close friend to a wise man, the proconsul whose name was Ser'gi-us Pau'lus, who called for Saul and Bar'na-bas, and desired to hear from them the word of God. |
| [8]ἀνθίστατο δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἐλύμας ὁ μάγος, οὕτως γὰρ μεθερμηνεύεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ζητῶν διαστρέψαι τὸν ἀνθύπατον ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως. |
[8]But Bar-Shu'ma the sorcerer (whose name is interpreted Elymas) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith. |
| [9]Σαῦλος δέ, ὁ καὶ Παῦλος, πλησθεὶς πνεύματος ⸀ἁγίου ἀτενίσας εἰς αὐτὸν |
[9]Then Saul, who is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked at him, |
| [10]εἶπεν· Ὦ πλήρης παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας, υἱὲ διαβόλου, ἐχθρὲ πάσης δικαιοσύνης, οὐ παύσῃ διαστρέφων τὰς ⸀ὁδοὺς κυρίου τὰς εὐθείας; |
[10]And said, O man full of every kind of subtlety and of all evil things, you son of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the LORD? |
| [11]καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἔσῃ τυφλὸς μὴ βλέπων τὸν ἥλιον ἄχρι καιροῦ. παραχρῆμα ⸀δὲ ⸀ἔπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἀχλὺς καὶ σκότος, καὶ περιάγων ἐζήτει χειραγωγούς. |
[11]And now the hand of the LORD is against you, and you shall be blind, and shall not see the sun for a time. And in that very hour there fell on him a mist and darkness; and he went about seeking some one to lead him by the hand. |
| [12]τότε ἰδὼν ὁ ἀνθύπατος τὸ γεγονὸς ἐπίστευσεν ἐκπλησσόμενος ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ τοῦ κυρίου. |
[12]And when the proconsul saw what had happened, he was amazed, and believed the teaching of the LORD. |
| [13]Ἀναχθέντες δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Πάφου οἱ ⸀περὶ Παῦλον ἦλθον εἰς Πέργην τῆς Παμφυλίας· Ἰωάννης δὲ ἀποχωρήσας ἀπʼ αὐτῶν ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα. |
[13]Then Paul and Bar'na-bas sailed from the city of Pa'phos, and came to Per'ga, a city in Pam-phyl'i-a: and John separated from them and went to Jerusalem. |
| [14]αὐτοὶ δὲ διελθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς Πέργης παρεγένοντο εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν ⸂τὴν Πισιδίαν⸃, καὶ ⸀εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἐκάθισαν. |
[14]But they left Per'ga and came to An'tioch, a city in Pi-sid'i-a, and on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. |
| [15]μετὰ δὲ τὴν ἀνάγνωσιν τοῦ νόμου καὶ τῶν προφητῶν ἀπέστειλαν οἱ ἀρχισυνάγωγοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς λέγοντες· Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, εἴ ⸀τίς ἐστιν ⸂ἐν ὑμῖν λόγος⸃ παρακλήσεως πρὸς τὸν λαόν, λέγετε. |
[15]And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the elders of the synagogue sent to them, saying, O men and brethren, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, speak. |
| [16]ἀναστὰς δὲ Παῦλος καὶ κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ εἶπεν· Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν, ἀκούσατε. |
[16]So Paul stood up, and lifting his hands said, O men of Israel, and those of you who fear God, hear my words: |
| [17]ὁ θεὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου ⸀Ἰσραὴλ ἐξελέξατο τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν, καὶ τὸν λαὸν ὕψωσεν ἐν τῇ παροικίᾳ ἐν γῇ ⸀Αἰγύπτου, καὶ μετὰ βραχίονος ὑψηλοῦ ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ αὐτῆς, |
[17]The God of this people of Is'ra-el chose our forefathers, and exalted and multiplied them when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm he brought them out of it. |
| [18]καί, ὡς τεσσερακονταετῆ χρόνον ἐτροποφόρησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, |
[18]And he fed them in the wilderness for forty years. |
| [19]⸀καὶ καθελὼν ἔθνη ἑπτὰ ἐν γῇ Χανάαν ⸀κατεκληρονόμησεν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν |
[19]And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Ca'naan, and he gave them their land for an inheritance. |
| [20]⸂ὡς ἔτεσι τετρακοσίοις καὶ πεντήκοντα. καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα⸃ ἔδωκεν κριτὰς ἕως Σαμουὴλ ⸀τοῦ προφήτου. |
[20]And for a period of four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges until the time of the prophet Samuel. |
| [21]κἀκεῖθεν ᾐτήσαντο βασιλέα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς τὸν Σαοὺλ υἱὸν Κίς, ἄνδρα ἐκ φυλῆς Βενιαμίν, ἔτη τεσσεράκοντα· |
[21]Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for a period of forty years. |
| [22]καὶ μεταστήσας αὐτὸν ἤγειρεν ⸂τὸν Δαυὶδ αὐτοῖς⸃ εἰς βασιλέα, ᾧ καὶ εἶπεν μαρτυρήσας· Εὗρον Δαυὶδ τὸν τοῦ Ἰεσσαί, ἄνδρα κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν μου, ὃς ποιήσει πάντα τὰ θελήματά μου. |
[22]And when in time God took Saul away he raised up to them David to be their king; concerning whom he testified and said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, to do my will. |
| [23]τούτου ὁ θεὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος κατʼ ἐπαγγελίαν ἤγαγεν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ⸂σωτῆρα Ἰησοῦν⸃, |
[23]Of this man's seed God has, according to his promise, raised to Israel a Saviour, Jesus: |
| [24]προκηρύξαντος Ἰωάννου πρὸ προσώπου τῆς εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ βάπτισμα μετανοίας ⸂παντὶ τῷ λαῷ⸃ Ἰσραήλ. |
[24]Before whose coming, he had sent John to preach the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. |
| [25]ὡς δὲ ἐπλήρου ⸀Ἰωάννης τὸν δρόμον, ἔλεγεν· ⸂Τί ἐμὲ⸃ ὑπονοεῖτε εἶναι; οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγώ· ἀλλʼ ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται μετʼ ἐμὲ οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἄξιος τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν λῦσαι. |
[25]And as John fulfilled his ministry, he said, Whom do you think I am? I am not he. But behold there comes one after me the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie. |
| [26]Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, υἱοὶ γένους Ἀβραὰμ καὶ οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν φοβούμενοι τὸν θεόν, ⸀ἡμῖν ὁ λόγος τῆς σωτηρίας ταύτης ⸀ἐξαπεστάλη. |
[26]O men and brethren, descendants of the family of Abraham, and whosoever among you fears God, to you is the word of salvation sent. |
| [27]οἱ γὰρ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν τοῦτον ἀγνοήσαντες καὶ τὰς φωνὰς τῶν προφητῶν τὰς κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον ἀναγινωσκομένας κρίναντες ἐπλήρωσαν, |
[27]For in as much as the inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders did not understand him nor the books of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they condemned him; but all the things which were written have been fulfilled. |
| [28]καὶ μηδεμίαν αἰτίαν θανάτου εὑρόντες ᾐτήσαντο Πιλᾶτον ἀναιρεθῆναι αὐτόν· |
[28]And though they found no cause for his death, they asked Pilate that they might kill him. |
| [29]ὡς δὲ ἐτέλεσαν πάντα τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα, καθελόντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ξύλου ἔθηκαν εἰς μνημεῖον. |
[29]And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they lowered him from the cross and laid him in a sepulchre. |
| [30]ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν· |
[30]But God raised him from the dead; |
| [31]ὃς ὤφθη ἐπὶ ἡμέρας πλείους τοῖς συναναβᾶσιν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, οἵτινες ⸀νῦν εἰσὶ μάρτυρες αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν λαόν. |
[31]And for many days he was seen by them who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and they are now his witnesses to the people. |
| [32]καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελιζόμεθα τὴν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἐπαγγελίαν γενομένην |
[32]And behold we also preach to you that that very promise which was made to our fathers, |
| [33]ὅτι ταύτην ὁ θεὸς ἐκπεπλήρωκεν τοῖς τέκνοις ⸀ἡμῶν ἀναστήσας Ἰησοῦν, ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ ⸂ψαλμῷ γέγραπται τῷ δευτέρῳ⸃· Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε. |
[33]Behold God has fulfilled it unto us their children, for he has raised up Jesus, just as it is written in the second psalm, You are my son, this day I have begotten you. |
| [34]ὅτι δὲ ἀνέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν μηκέτι μέλλοντα ὑποστρέφειν εἰς διαφθοράν, οὕτως εἴρηκεν ὅτι Δώσω ὑμῖν τὰ ὅσια Δαυὶδ τὰ πιστά. |
[34]And God raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, as he said, I will give you the sure mercies of David. |
| [35]⸀διότι καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει· Οὐ δώσεις τὸν ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν· |
[35]And again he said in another place, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption. |
| [36]Δαυὶδ μὲν γὰρ ἰδίᾳ γενεᾷ ὑπηρετήσας τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ βουλῇ ἐκοιμήθη καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶδεν διαφθοράν, |
[36]For David, after he had served his own generation with the will of God, passed away; though he was a greater man than his fathers, yet he saw corruption. |
| [37]ὃν δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἤγειρεν οὐκ εἶδεν διαφθοράν. |
[37]But he whom God raised did not see corruption. |
| [38]γνωστὸν οὖν ἔστω ὑμῖν, ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί, ὅτι διὰ τούτου ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ⸀ἐν νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι |
[38]Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this very one is preached to you the forgiveness of sins: |
| [39]ἐν τούτῳ πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων δικαιοῦται. |
[39]And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. |
| [40]βλέπετε οὖν μὴ ⸀ἐπέλθῃ τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις· |
[40]Beware, therefore, lest that which is written in the prophets may come upon you. |
| [41]Ἴδετε, οἱ καταφρονηταί, καὶ θαυμάσατε καὶ ἀφανίσθητε, ὅτι ἔργον ⸂ἐργάζομαι ἐγὼ⸃ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, ⸀ἔργον ὃ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε ἐάν τις ἐκδιηγῆται ὑμῖν. |
[41]Be careful, O you despisers, for you shall wonder and perish: for I will do a great work in your day which you will not believe even if a man tell it to you. |
| [42]Ἐξιόντων δὲ ⸀αὐτῶν ⸀παρεκάλουν εἰς τὸ μεταξὺ σάββατον λαληθῆναι αὐτοῖς τὰ ῥήματα ⸀ταῦτα. |
[42]And as Paul and Bar'na-bas were leaving them, the people besought them to speak these things to them the next sabbath. |
| [43]λυθείσης δὲ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἠκολούθησαν πολλοὶ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ τῶν σεβομένων προσηλύτων τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Βαρναβᾷ, οἵτινες προσλαλοῦντες ⸀αὐτοῖς ἔπειθον αὐτοὺς ⸀προσμένειν τῇ χάριτι τοῦ θεοῦ. |
[43]Now when the congregation was dismissed, a great many Jews, and also proselytes who feared God, followed Paul and Bar'na-bas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. |
| [44]Τῷ ⸀δὲ ἐρχομένῳ σαββάτῳ σχεδὸν πᾶσα ἡ πόλις συνήχθη ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ ⸀κυρίου. |
[44]And the next sabbath day the whole city gathered to hear the word of God. |
| [45]ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τοὺς ὄχλους ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου καὶ ἀντέλεγον τοῖς ⸀ὑπὸ Παύλου ⸀λαλουμένοις ⸀βλασφημοῦντες. |
[45]But when the Jews saw the great crowd, they were filled with envy, and they bitterly opposed the words of Paul, and they blasphemed. |
| [46]παρρησιασάμενοί ⸀τε ὁ Παῦλος καὶ ὁ Βαρναβᾶς εἶπαν· Ὑμῖν ἦν ἀναγκαῖον πρῶτον λαληθῆναι τὸν λόγον τοῦ θεοῦ· ⸀ἐπειδὴ ἀπωθεῖσθε αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἀξίους κρίνετε ἑαυτοὺς τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, ἰδοὺ στρεφόμεθα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη· |
[46]Then Paul and Bar'na-bas said to them boldly, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: but because you reject it, you have decided against yourselves and you are unworthy of everlasting life, so behold, we turn to the Gentiles. |
| [47]οὕτως γὰρ ἐντέταλται ἡμῖν ὁ κύριος· Τέθεικά σε εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς. |
[47]For so has our Lord commanded us, as it is written, I have set you to be a light to the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. |
| [48]ἀκούοντα δὲ τὰ ἔθνη ⸀ἔχαιρον καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν λόγον τοῦ ⸀κυρίου, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον· |
[48]And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. |
| [49]διεφέρετο δὲ ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου διʼ ὅλης τῆς χώρας. |
[49]And the word of the Lord was published throughout all that region. |
| [50]οἱ δὲ Ἰουδαῖοι παρώτρυναν τὰς σεβομένας ⸀γυναῖκας τὰς εὐσχήμονας καὶ τοὺς πρώτους τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐπήγειραν διωγμὸν ἐπὶ τὸν Παῦλον ⸀καὶ Βαρναβᾶν, καὶ ἐξέβαλον αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν. |
[50]But the Jews stirred up the chief men of the city and the rich women who worshipped God with them, so that they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Bar'na-bas, and expelled them beyond their borders. |
| [51]οἱ δὲ ἐκτιναξάμενοι τὸν κονιορτὸν τῶν ⸀ποδῶν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἦλθον εἰς Ἰκόνιον, |
[51]And as they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet upon them, and they came to the city of I-co'ni-um. |
| [52]οἵ ⸀τε μαθηταὶ ἐπληροῦντο χαρᾶς καὶ πνεύματος ἁγίου. |
[52]And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit. |
