Acts 13

1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.

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.

2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

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.

3 And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid upon them the hand, and dismissed them.

4 So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.

And they, being sent by the Spirit of Holiness, went down to Selukia, and from thence proceeded by sea to Cyprus.

5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.

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.

6 They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,

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.

7 an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.

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.

8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.

But this sorcerer, Bar Shuma, whose name interpreted is Elymos, stood against them, because he desired to avert the proconsul from faith.

9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas

But Shaol, he who is called PAULOS, was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and beheld him,

10 and said, “O child of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, you are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

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?

11 Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

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.

12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.

But when the proconsul saw what had been done, he wondered, and believed in the doctrine of the Lord.

13 After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.

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.

14 And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.

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.

15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”

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?

16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!

And Paulos arose, and signed with his hand, and said to them:

17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.

Men, sons of Israel, and those who fear Aloha, hearken! 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

18 He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.

And he nourished them in the desert forty years.

19 And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.

And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land an inheritance. And four hundred and fifty years

20 All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

he gave them judges, until Shamuel the prophet;

21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.

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.

22 After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’

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.

23 From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.

From the seed of this (man) the God of Israel, as he had promised, raised up Jeshu the Redeemer.

24 Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole people of Israel.

25 As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But He is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’

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.

26 Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.

MEN, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and they among you who fear Aloha, unto you is sent the word of life.

27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.

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.

28 And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.

And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might kill him.

29 When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

And when they had fulfilled every thing that was written concerning him, they took him from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 But God raised Him from the dead,

But Aloha raised him from among the dead.

31 and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.

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.

32 And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers

And we also, behold, we preach to you that that promise which was made to our fathers,

33 He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’

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.

34 In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’

And thus did Aloha raise him from among the dead, that again he should not return thither to see corruption; as he had said, I will give you the sure grace of David.

35 So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’

And again he hath said in another place, Thou hast not given thy Saint to see corruption.

36 For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.

For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

37 But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.

But This whom Aloha raised saw no corruption.

38 Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins;

39 Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.

and from all (from) which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified.

40 Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:

Beware, then, lest there come upon you that which is written in the prophets:

41 ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”

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.

42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.

And when they had gone out from among them, they besought of them that the next shabath they would speak to them these words.

43 After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

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.

44 On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.

AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha.

45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.

And when the Jihudoyee saw the great assemblage, they were filled with envy, and arose against the words which Paulos spake, and blasphemed.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

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. (aiōnios g166)

47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”

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.

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

And when the Gentiles heard, they rejoiced and glorified Aloha; and they believed who were disposed unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

49 And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.

And the word of Aloha was spoken in all that region.

50 The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.

But the Jihudoyee excited the principal men of the city and rich women, who with them feared Aloha, and raised a persecution against Paulos and against Bar Naba, and cast them out from their bounds.

51 So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

And as they went forth, they shook off against them the dust of their feet; and they came to Ikanon, a city.

52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit of Holiness.
