< Acts 13 >
1 There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) and Saul.
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 τετράρχου σύντροφος, καὶ Σαῦλος.
2 Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.
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.”
3 Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.
Τότε νηστεύσαντες, καὶ προσευξάμενοι, καὶ ἐπιθέντες τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῖς, ἀπέλυσαν.
4 And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.
Αὐτοὶ μὲν οὖν ἐκπεμφθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἁγίου ˚Πνεύματος, κατῆλθον εἰς Σελεύκειαν, ἐκεῖθέν τε ἀπέπλευσαν εἰς Κύπρον.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.
Καὶ γενόμενοι ἐν Σαλαμῖνι, κατήγγελλον τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων. Εἶχον δὲ καὶ Ἰωάννην, ὑπηρέτην.
6 So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,
Διελθόντες δὲ ὅλην τὴν νῆσον ἄχρι Πάφου, εὗρον ἄνδρα, τινὰ μάγον ψευδοπροφήτην Ἰουδαῖον, ᾧ ὄνομα Βαριησοῦς,
7 Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.
ὃς ἦν σὺν τῷ ἀνθυπάτῳ Σεργίῳ Παύλῳ, ἀνδρὶ συνετῷ. Οὗτος, προσκαλεσάμενος Βαρναβᾶν καὶ Σαῦλον, ἐπεζήτησεν ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
8 But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.
Ἀνθίστατο δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἐλύμας ὁ μάγος (οὕτως γὰρ μεθερμηνεύεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ) ζητῶν διαστρέψαι τὸν ἀνθύπατον ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως.
9 Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Σαῦλος δέ, ὁ καὶ Παῦλος, πλησθεὶς ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου, ἀτενίσας εἰς αὐτὸν
10 And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord?
εἶπεν, “Ὦ πλήρης παντὸς δόλου καὶ πάσης ῥᾳδιουργίας, υἱὲ διαβόλου, ἐχθρὲ πάσης δικαιοσύνης, οὐ παύσῃ διαστρέφων τὰς ὁδοὺς τοῦ ˚Κυρίου τὰς εὐθείας;
11 Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.
Καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ, χεὶρ ˚Κυρίου ἐπὶ σέ, καὶ ἔσῃ τυφλὸς, μὴ βλέπων τὸν ἥλιον ἄχρι καιροῦ.” Παραχρῆμά τε ἔπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἀχλὺς καὶ σκότος, καὶ περιάγων ἐζήτει χειραγωγούς.
12 Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord.
Τότε ἰδὼν ὁ ἀνθύπατος τὸ γεγονὸς, ἐπίστευσεν ἐκπλησσόμενος ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ τοῦ ˚Κυρίου.
13 Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.
Ἀναχθέντες δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Πάφου οἱ περὶ, Παῦλον ἦλθον εἰς Πέργην τῆς Παμφυλίας. Ἰωάννης δὲ ἀποχωρήσας ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.
Αὐτοὶ δὲ, διελθόντες ἀπὸ τῆς Πέργης, παρεγένοντο εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν τὴν Πισιδίαν, καὶ ἐλθόντες εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν Σαββάτων, ἐκάθισαν.
15 And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
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.”
16 Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.
Ἀναστὰς δὲ Παῦλος, καὶ κατασείσας τῇ χειρὶ εἶπεν, “Ἄνδρες, Ἰσραηλῖται, καὶ οἱ φοβούμενοι τὸν ˚Θεόν, ἀκούσατε.
17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.
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,
18 And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.
καί ὡς τεσσερακονταετῆ χρόνον ἐτροποφόρησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ,
19 And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.
καὶ καθελὼν ἔθνη ἑπτὰ ἐν γῇ Χανάαν, κατεκληρονόμησεν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν–
20 Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.
ὡς ἔτεσι τετρακοσίοις καὶ πεντήκοντα. Καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα, ἔδωκεν κριτὰς ἕως Σαμουὴλ προφήτου.
21 So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.
Κἀκεῖθεν ᾐτήσαντο βασιλέα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Θεὸς τὸν Σαοὺλ, υἱὸν Κείς, ἄνδρα ἐκ φυλῆς Βενιαμίν, ἔτη τεσσεράκοντα.
22 And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.
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.’
23 Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:
Τούτου ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ σπέρματος κατʼ ἐπαγγελίαν, ἤγαγεν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ Σωτῆρα, ˚Ἰησοῦν,
24 When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.
προκηρύξαντος Ἰωάννου πρὸ προσώπου τῆς εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ, βάπτισμα μετανοίας παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἰσραήλ.
25 And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.
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.’
26 Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent.
Ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί, υἱοὶ γένους Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ οἱ ἐν ὑμῖν φοβούμενοι τὸν ˚Θεόν, ἡμῖν ὁ λόγος τῆς σωτηρίας ταύτης ἐξαπεστάλη.
27 For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.
Οἱ γὰρ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν, τοῦτον ἀγνοήσαντες καὶ τὰς φωνὰς τῶν προφητῶν, τὰς κατὰ πᾶν Σάββατον ἀναγινωσκομένας, κρίναντες ἐπλήρωσαν.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.
Καὶ μηδεμίαν αἰτίαν θανάτου εὑρόντες, ᾐτήσαντο Πιλᾶτον ἀναιρεθῆναι αὐτόν.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.
Ὡς δὲ ἐτέλεσαν πάντα τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα, καθελόντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ξύλου, ἔθηκαν εἰς μνημεῖον.
30 But God raised him vp from the dead.
Ὁ δὲ ˚Θεὸς ἤγειρεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν·
31 And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people.
ὃς ὤφθη ἐπὶ ἡμέρας πλείους τοῖς συναναβᾶσιν αὐτῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ, οἵτινες νῦν εἰσὶ μάρτυρες αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν λαόν.
32 And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers,
Καὶ ἡμεῖς ὑμᾶς εὐαγγελιζόμεθα τὴν πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἐπαγγελίαν γενομένην,
33 God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
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.’
34 Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.
Ὅτι δὲ ἀνέστησεν αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν, μηκέτι μέλλοντα ὑποστρέφειν εἰς διαφθοράν, οὕτως εἴρηκεν, ὅτι ‘Δώσω ὑμῖν τὰ ὅσια Δαυὶδ τὰ πιστά.’
35 Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.
Διότι καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει, ‘Οὐ δώσεις τὸν Ὅσιόν σου ἰδεῖν διαφθοράν.’
36 Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.
Δαυὶδ μὲν γὰρ ἰδίᾳ γενεᾷ ὑπηρετήσας τῇ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ βουλῇ, ἐκοιμήθη καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶδεν διαφθοράν.
37 But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption.
Ὃν δὲ ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἤγειρεν οὐκ εἶδεν διαφθοράν.
38 Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.
Γνωστὸν οὖν ἔστω ὑμῖν, ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι διὰ τούτου, ὑμῖν ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν καταγγέλλεται, καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων ὧν οὐκ ἠδυνήθητε ἐν νόμῳ Μωϋσέως δικαιωθῆναι,
39 And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.
ἐν τούτῳ πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων δικαιοῦται.
40 Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,
Βλέπετε οὖν, μὴ ἐπέλθῃ τὸ εἰρημένον ἐν τοῖς προφήταις:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.
‘Ἴδετε, οἱ καταφρονηταί, καὶ θαυμάσατε καὶ ἀφανίσθητε, ὅτι ἔργον ἐργάζομαι ἐγὼ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, ἔργον ὃ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε, ἐάν τις ἐκδιηγῆται ὑμῖν.’”
42 And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.
Ἐξιόντων δὲ, αὐτῶν παρεκάλουν εἰς τὸ μεταξὺ Σάββατον λαληθῆναι αὐτοῖς τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα.
43 Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.
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.
44 And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.
Τῷ δὲ ἐρχομένῳ Σαββάτῳ, σχεδὸν πᾶσα ἡ πόλις συνήχθη ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
45 But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.
Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τοὺς ὄχλους, ἐπλήσθησαν ζήλου καὶ ἀντέλεγον τοῖς ὑπὸ Παύλου λαλουμένοις βλασφημοῦντες.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. (aiōnios )
Παρρησιασάμενοί τε, ὁ Παῦλος καὶ ὁ Βαρναβᾶς εἶπαν, “Ὑμῖν ἦν ἀναγκαῖον πρῶτον λαληθῆναι τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ. Ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἀπωθεῖσθε αὐτὸν, καὶ οὐκ ἀξίους κρίνετε ἑαυτοὺς τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, ἰδοὺ, στρεφόμεθα εἰς τὰ ἔθνη. (aiōnios )
47 For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.
Οὕτως γὰρ ἐντέταλται ἡμῖν ὁ ˚Κύριος, ‘Τέθεικά σε εἰς φῶς ἐθνῶν, τοῦ εἶναί σε εἰς σωτηρίαν ἕως ἐσχάτου τῆς γῆς.’”
48 And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios )
Ἀκούοντα δὲ τὰ ἔθνη, ἔχαιρον καὶ ἐδόξαζον τὸν λόγον τοῦ ˚Κυρίου, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν ὅσοι ἦσαν τεταγμένοι εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον. (aiōnios )
49 Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.
Διεφέρετο δὲ ὁ λόγος τοῦ ˚Κυρίου διʼ ὅλης τῆς χώρας.
50 But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.
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.
51 But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.
Οἱ δὲ, ἐκτιναξάμενοι τὸν κονιορτὸν τῶν ποδῶν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, ἦλθον εἰς Ἰκόνιον.
52 And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
Οἵ τε μαθηταὶ ἐπληροῦντο χαρᾶς καὶ ˚Πνεύματος Ἁγίου.
