Acts 14

1 At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.

And they came and entered into the synagogue of the Jihudoyee, and so spake with them as that many believed of Jihudoyee and of Javanoyee.

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

But Jihudoyee, of those who were not persuaded, excited the Gentiles to ill-treat the brethren.

3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.

But they much time were there, and openly discoursed concerning the Lord; and He testified of the word of his grace by the signs and the wonders which he wrought by their hands.

4 The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.

And all the society of the city was divided: of them some were with the Jihudoyee, and of them (some) adhered to the apostles.

5 But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,

But there was made a movement by the Gentiles and by the Jihudoyee and their chiefs to maltreat them, and to crush them with stones.

6 they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,

And when they knew, they passed away, and escaped to the cities of Lykania, Lystra, and Derbe, and the villages which surround them,

7 where they continued to preach the gospel.

and there evangelized.

8 In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.

AND a certain man dwelt in the city of Lystra who was afflicted in his feet, lame from the womb of his mother, (and) who had never walked.

9 This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

This heard Paulos discourse. And when Paulos saw him, and knew that there was faith in him to be saved,

10 In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.

he said to him with a high voice, To thee I say, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, Stand upon thy feet.

11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”

And leaping, he stood and walked. And the assembly of the people, when they saw what Paulos had done, lifted up their voice in the language of the country, and said, Gods in the likeness of men have come down unto us.

12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

And they named Bar Naba, lord of the gods; and Paulos, Hermis, because he was foremost in discourse.

13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.

And the priest of the lord of the gods, who was without the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates of the court of the place where they dwelt, and willed to sacrifice to them.

14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,

But Bar Naba and Paulos, when they heard, rent their garments, and sprang up, and came out to the crowd. And they cried,

15 “Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

and said, Men, what do you? We also are children of men liable to sufferings like you, (and) who preach to you that from these vanities you should turn unto Aloha the living, who made heaven and earth, and the seas, and all that is in them:

16 In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.

who in former generations left all nations to walk in ways of their own;

17 Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

yet leaving not himself without witness, while he did them good from heaven, and sent down rain, and multiplied the fruits in their times, and filled with food and gladness their hearts.

18 Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.

And when these they had said, they scarcely restrained the people that some one should not sacrifice to them.

19 Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.

But there came thither Jihudoyee from Ikanon and from Antiokia, and stirred up against them the people; and they stoned Paulos, and dragged him out of the city, because they thought that he was dead.

20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

And the disciples gathered to him, and, arising, he entered the city. AND the day after he went forth from thence with Bar Naba, and came to Derbe the city.

21 They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

And when they had preached to the sons of the city, they discipled many. And they returned and came to Lystra the city, and to Ikanon, and to Antiokia,

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.

confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to persevere in the faith. And they said to them, that through much tribulation it behoveth to enter the kingdom of Aloha.

23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

And they constituted for them in all the churches presbyters, having fasted with them and prayed, and commended them to our Lord in whom they had believed.

24 After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

And when they had gone through the country of Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

and when they had preached in the city Perga the word of the Lord, they went down to Atalia,

26 From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.

and from thence voyaged by sea and came to Antiokia, because from thence they had been commended to the grace of the Lord for the work which they had accomplished.

27 When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

And when all the church had convened, they recounted every thing which Aloha had done with them, and that he had opened the door of the faith unto the Gentiles.

28 And they spent a long time there with the disciples.

And much time were they there with the disciples.
