Acts 13
1 Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, 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 And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.
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 Then, after prayer and going without food they put their hands on them, and sent them away.
And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid upon them the hand, and dismissed them.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they went by ship to Cyprus.
And they, being sent by the Spirit of Holiness, went down to Selukia, and from thence proceeded by sea to Cyprus.
5 And at Salamis they were preaching the word of God in the Synagogues of the Jews: and John was with them, helping them.
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 And when they had gone through all the island to Paphos, they came across a certain wonder-worker and false prophet, a Jew whose name was 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 Who was with the ruler, Sergius Paulus, an able man. This man sent for Barnabas and Saul, desiring to have knowledge of 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 wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler 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 But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said,
But Shaol, he who is called PAULOS, was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and beheld him,
10 O you, who are full of false tricks and evil ways, a son of the Evil One, hating all righteousness, will you for ever be turning people from the right 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 And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.
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 Then the ruler, when he saw what was done, had faith, being full of wonder at the teaching of the Lord.
But when the proconsul saw what had been done, he wondered, and believed in the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Then Paul and those who were with him went by ship from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and there John went away from them and came back 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 But they, going through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and were seated.
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 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the Synagogue sent to them, saying, Brothers, if you have a word of comfort for the people, say on.
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 And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear.
And Paulos arose, and signed with his hand, and said to them:
17 The God of this people Israel made selection of our fathers, lifting the people up from their low condition when they were living in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm took them out of it.
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 And for about forty years he put up with their ways in the waste land.
And he nourished them in the desert forty years.
19 And having put to destruction seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the land for their heritage for about four hundred and fifty years.
And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land an inheritance. And four hundred and fifty years
20 And after these things he gave them judges, till the time of Samuel the prophet.
he gave them judges, until Shamuel the prophet;
21 Then at their request for a king, God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the family of Benjamin, who was their king for forty years.
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 And having put him on one side, he made David their king, to whom he gave witness, saying, I have taken David, the son of Jesse, a man dear to my heart, who will do all my pleasure.
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 this man's seed has God given to Israel a Saviour, even Jesus, as he gave his word;
From the seed of this (man) the God of Israel, as he had promised, raised up Jeshu the Redeemer.
24 For whose coming John made ready the way by preaching to all the people of Israel the baptism which goes with a change of heart.
And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole people of Israel.
25 And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.
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 My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you who have the fear of God, to us the word of this salvation is 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 For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him.
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 no cause of death was seen in him, they made a request to Pilate that he might be put to death.
And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might kill him.
29 And when they had done all the things said in the Writings about him, they took him down from the tree, and put him in the place of the dead.
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 gave him back from the dead:
But Aloha raised him from among the dead.
31 And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the 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 we are giving you the good news of the undertaking made to the fathers,
And we also, behold, we preach to you that that promise which was made to our fathers,
33 Which God has now put into effect for our children, by sending Jesus; as it says in the second Psalm, You are my Son; this day I have given you being.
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 And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of 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 Because he says in another Psalm, You will not let your Holy One see destruction.
And again he hath said in another place, Thou hast not given thy Saint to see corruption.
36 Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:
For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 But he, who was lifted up by God, did not see destruction.
But This whom Aloha raised saw no corruption.
38 And so, let it be clear to you, my brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is offered to you:
Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins;
39 And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.
and from all (from) which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified.
40 So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;
Beware, then, lest there come upon you that which is written in the prophets:
41 See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to 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 And when they went out, they made a request that these words might be said to them again on the Sabbath after.
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 Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on 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 And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.
AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha.
45 But when the Jews saw such a great number of people, they were full of envy and said evil words against Paul's preaching.
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 without fear said, It was necessary for the word of God to be given to you first; but because you will have nothing to do with it, and have no desire for eternal life, it will now be offered 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 so the Lord has given us orders, saying, I have given you for a light to the Gentiles so that you may be for 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 And the Gentiles, hearing this, were glad and gave glory to the word of God: and those marked out by God for eternal life had faith. (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 went through all the country.
And the word of Aloha was spoken in all that region.
50 But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts.
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 But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came 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 full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit of Holiness.
