使徒行傳 14
1 們在依科尼雍，還是照樣進猶太人的會堂講道，以致有很多猶太人和希臘人信從了。
The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.
2 那些固執不信的猶太人，卻挑撥並刺激外邦人的心，來相反弟兄們。
But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.
3 他們在那裏逗留了一些日子，依賴主放心大膽地講道。主為證明他們所宣講的恩寵的話是真實的，藉他們的手顯了徵兆和奇蹟。
Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.
4 城中的群眾就分裂了：有的支持猶太人，有的支持宗徒。
But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;
5 當外邦人和猶太人連同他們的官長蓄意侮辱他們，和用石頭砸死他們的時候，
and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,
6 他們一聽說，就逃往呂考尼雅的呂斯特辣、德爾貝兩座城和周圍的地方去了，
the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district round,
7 在那裏傳揚福音。
and there they continued to tell the good news.
8 在呂斯特辣有一個人，患軟腳病，常坐著，由母胎中即是跛子，總沒有行走過。
In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and had never walked.
9 這人聽保祿講道；保祿注目看他，見他有信心，可得痊癒，
This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,
10 便大聲說道：「直直地站起來！」這人遂跳起來行走。
said loudly, ‘Stand upright on your feet.’ The man leaped up, and began walking about,
11 群眾看見保祿所行的，就大聲用呂考尼雅話說：「神取了人形，降到我們這裏了!」
and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, ‘The Gods have come down to us in human form.’
12 他們遂稱巴爾納伯為則烏斯，稱保祿為赫爾默斯，因為它是主要發言人。
So they called Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul “Hermes,” because he took the lead in speaking;
13 在城關的則烏斯的司祭，就帶著公牛與花圈來到大門前，要同群眾一起獻祭。
and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
14 巴爾納伯和保祿宗徒聽說這事，就撕裂了自己的衣服，跑到群眾中，喊著，
But, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd. ‘Friends, why are you doing this?’ they shouted.
15 說道：「人哪！你們這是作什麼﹖我們也是人啊！與你們有同樣的性情；我們只是給你們傳揚福音，為叫你們離開這些虛無之物，歸依生活的天主，是他創造了天地海洋和其中的一切。
‘We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
16 他在過去的世代，容忍了萬民各行其道；
In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.
17 但他並不是沒有以善行為自己作證，他從天上給你們賜了雨和結實的季節，以食物和喜樂充滿你們的心。」
Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.’
18 說了這些話，纔算阻住了群眾，沒有向他們獻祭。
Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.
19 卻有些猶太人，從安提約基雅和依科尼雍來，挑唆群眾；群眾用石頭砸了保祿，以為他死了，就把他拉到城外。
Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.
20 但門徒們一圍到他跟前，他就起來進了城，第二天同巴爾納伯起身往德爾貝去了。
But, when the disciples had gathered round him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 他們向那城傳揚福音，使許多人成為門徒，以後回到呂斯特辣、依科尼雍和安提約基雅，
After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 到處堅固門徒的心，鼓勵他們堅持信仰，說我們必須經過許多困難，纔能進入天主的國。
reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.
23 二人在各教會給他們選立了長老，在祈禱禁食以後，把他們託付於他們所信仰的主。
They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.
24 以後，他們又經過丕息狄雅來到旁非里雅，
Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,
25 在培爾革宣講道理以後，下到阿塔肋雅，
and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.
26 又從那裏乘船赴安提約基雅。他們原來是從那裏被託於天主的恩寵，作現在已完成的工作。
From there they sailed to Antioch – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.
27 他們一到，就聚集會眾，報告天主偕同他們所行的一切大事，和怎樣給外邦人打開了信德的門。
After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;
28 二人就在那裏同門徒們住了不少時日。
and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
