Acts 15
1 Then came downe certaine from Iudea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the maner of Moses, ye cannot be saued.
και τινεσ κατελθοντεσ απο τησ ιουδαιασ εδιδασκον τουσ αδελφουσ οτι εαν μη περιτεμνησθε τω εθει μωυσεωσ ου δυνασθε σωθηναι
2 And when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordeyned that Paul and Barnabas, and certaine other of them, should goe vp to Hierusalem vnto the Apostles and Elders about this question.
γενομενησ ουν στασεωσ και ζητησεωσ ουκ ολιγησ τω παυλω και τω βαρναβα προσ αυτουσ εταξαν αναβαινειν παυλον και βαρναβαν και τινασ αλλουσ εξ αυτων προσ τουσ αποστολουσ και πρεσβυτερουσ εισ ιερουσαλημ περι του ζητηματοσ τουτου
3 Thus being brought forth by ye Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conuersion of the Gentiles, and they brought great ioy vnto all the brethren.
οι μεν ουν προπεμφθεντεσ υπο τησ εκκλησιασ διηρχοντο την φοινικην και σαμαρειαν εκδιηγουμενοι την επιστροφην των εθνων και εποιουν χαραν μεγαλην πασιν τοισ αδελφοισ
4 And when they were come to Hierusalem, they were receiued of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by them.
παραγενομενοι δε εισ ιερουσαλημ απεδεχθησαν υπο τησ εκκλησιασ και των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων ανηγγειλαν τε οσα ο θεοσ εποιησεν μετ αυτων
5 But said they, certaine of the sect of the Pharises, which did beleeue, rose vp, saying, that it was needefull to circumcise them, and to commaund them to keepe the lawe of Moses.
εξανεστησαν δε τινεσ των απο τησ αιρεσεωσ των φαρισαιων πεπιστευκοτεσ λεγοντεσ οτι δει περιτεμνειν αυτουσ παραγγελλειν τε τηρειν τον νομον μωυσεωσ
6 Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to this matter.
συνηχθησαν δε οι αποστολοι και οι πρεσβυτεροι ιδειν περι του λογου τουτου
7 And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue.
πολλησ δε συζητησεωσ γενομενησ αναστασ πετροσ ειπεν προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ αδελφοι υμεισ επιστασθε οτι αφ ημερων αρχαιων ο θεοσ εν ημιν εξελεξατο δια του στοματοσ μου ακουσαι τα εθνη τον λογον του ευαγγελιου και πιστευσαι
8 And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs.
και ο καρδιογνωστησ θεοσ εμαρτυρησεν αυτοισ δουσ αυτοισ το πνευμα το αγιον καθωσ και ημιν
9 And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes.
και ουδεν διεκρινεν μεταξυ ημων τε και αυτων τη πιστει καθαρισασ τασ καρδιασ αυτων
10 Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?
νυν ουν τι πειραζετε τον θεον επιθειναι ζυγον επι τον τραχηλον των μαθητων ον ουτε οι πατερεσ ημων ουτε ημεισ ισχυσαμεν βαστασαι
11 But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.
αλλα δια τησ χαριτοσ του κυριου ιησου πιστευομεν σωθηναι καθ ον τροπον κακεινοι
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
εσιγησεν δε παν το πληθοσ και ηκουον βαρναβα και παυλου εξηγουμενων οσα εποιησεν ο θεοσ σημεια και τερατα εν τοισ εθνεσιν δι αυτων
13 And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me.
μετα δε το σιγησαι αυτουσ απεκριθη ιακωβοσ λεγων ανδρεσ αδελφοι ακουσατε μου
14 Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name.
συμεων εξηγησατο καθωσ πρωτον ο θεοσ επεσκεψατο λαβειν εξ εθνων λαον επι τω ονοματι αυτου
15 And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, as it is written,
και τουτω συμφωνουσιν οι λογοι των προφητων καθωσ γεγραπται
16 After this I will returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp,
μετα ταυτα αναστρεψω και ανοικοδομησω την σκηνην δαυιδ την πεπτωκυιαν και τα κατεσκαμμενα αυτησ ανοικοδομησω και ανορθωσω αυτην
17 That the residue of men might seeke after the Lord, and all the Gentiles vpon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things.
οπωσ αν εκζητησωσιν οι καταλοιποι των ανθρωπων τον κυριον και παντα τα εθνη εφ ουσ επικεκληται το ονομα μου επ αυτουσ λεγει κυριοσ ο ποιων ταυτα παντα
γνωστα απ αιωνοσ εστιν τω θεω παντα τα εργα αυτου (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God,
διο εγω κρινω μη παρενοχλειν τοισ απο των εθνων επιστρεφουσιν επι τον θεον
20 But that we send vnto them, that they abstaine themselues from filthinesse of idoles, and fornication, and that that is strangled, and from blood.
αλλα επιστειλαι αυτοισ του απεχεσθαι απο των αλισγηματων των ειδωλων και τησ πορνειασ και του πνικτου και του αιματοσ
21 For Moses of olde time hath in euery citie them that preache him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues euery Sabbath day.
μωυσησ γαρ εκ γενεων αρχαιων κατα πολιν τουσ κηρυσσοντασ αυτον εχει εν ταισ συναγωγαισ κατα παν σαββατον αναγινωσκομενοσ
22 Then it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to sende chosen men of their owne companie to Antiochia with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Iudas whose surname was Barsabas and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren,
τοτε εδοξεν τοισ αποστολοισ και τοισ πρεσβυτεροισ συν ολη τη εκκλησια εκλεξαμενουσ ανδρασ εξ αυτων πεμψαι εισ αντιοχειαν συν παυλω και βαρναβα ιουδαν τον επικαλουμενον βαρσαββαν και σιλαν ανδρασ ηγουμενουσ εν τοισ αδελφοισ
23 And wrote letters by them after this maner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, vnto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antiochia, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting.
γραψαντεσ δια χειροσ αυτων ταδε οι αποστολοι και οι πρεσβυτεροι και οι αδελφοι τοισ κατα την αντιοχειαν και συριαν και κιλικιαν αδελφοισ τοισ εξ εθνων χαιρειν
24 Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certaine which went out from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, and cumbred your mindes, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keepe the Lawe: to whom we gaue no such commandement,
επειδη ηκουσαμεν οτι τινεσ εξ ημων εξελθοντεσ εταραξαν υμασ λογοισ ανασκευαζοντεσ τασ ψυχασ υμων λεγοντεσ περιτεμνεσθαι και τηρειν τον νομον οισ ου διεστειλαμεθα
25 It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul,
εδοξεν ημιν γενομενοισ ομοθυμαδον εκλεξαμενουσ ανδρασ πεμψαι προσ υμασ συν τοισ αγαπητοισ ημων βαρναβα και παυλω
26 Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ.
ανθρωποισ παραδεδωκοσιν τασ ψυχασ αυτων υπερ του ονοματοσ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
27 We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth.
απεσταλκαμεν ουν ιουδαν και σιλαν και αυτουσ δια λογου απαγγελλοντασ τα αυτα
28 For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things,
εδοξεν γαρ τω αγιω πνευματι και ημιν μηδεν πλεον επιτιθεσθαι υμιν βαροσ πλην των επαναγκεσ τουτων
29 That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well.
απεχεσθαι ειδωλοθυτων και αιματοσ και πνικτου και πορνειασ εξ ων διατηρουντεσ εαυτουσ ευ πραξετε ερρωσθε
30 Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle.
οι μεν ουν απολυθεντεσ ηλθον εισ αντιοχειαν και συναγαγοντεσ το πληθοσ επεδωκαν την επιστολην
31 And when they had read it, they reioyced for the consolation.
αναγνοντεσ δε εχαρησαν επι τη παρακλησει
32 And Iudas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many wordes, and strengthened them.
ιουδασ τε και σιλασ και αυτοι προφηται οντεσ δια λογου πολλου παρεκαλεσαν τουσ αδελφουσ και επεστηριξαν
33 And after they had taried there a space, they were let goe in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
ποιησαντεσ δε χρονον απελυθησαν μετ ειρηνησ απο των αδελφων προσ τουσ αποστολουσ
34 Notwithstanding Silas thought good to abide there still.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antiochia, teaching and preaching with many other, the worde of the Lord.
παυλοσ δε και βαρναβασ διετριβον εν αντιοχεια διδασκοντεσ και ευαγγελιζομενοι μετα και ετερων πολλων τον λογον του κυριου
36 But after certaine dayes, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs returne, and visite our brethren in euery citie, where we haue preached the worde of the Lord, and see how they doe.
μετα δε τινασ ημερασ ειπεν παυλοσ προσ βαρναβαν επιστρεψαντεσ δη επισκεψωμεθα τουσ αδελφουσ ημων κατα πασαν πολιν εν αισ κατηγγειλαμεν τον λογον του κυριου πωσ εχουσιν
37 And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.
βαρναβασ δε εβουλευσατο συμπαραλαβειν τον ιωαννην τον καλουμενον μαρκον
38 But Paul thought it not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke.
παυλοσ δε ηξιου τον αποσταντα απ αυτων απο παμφυλιασ και μη συνελθοντα αυτοισ εισ το εργον μη συμπαραλαβειν τουτον
39 Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.
εγενετο ουν παροξυσμοσ ωστε αποχωρισθηναι αυτουσ απ αλληλων τον τε βαρναβαν παραλαβοντα τον μαρκον εκπλευσαι εισ κυπρον
40 And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God.
παυλοσ δε επιλεξαμενοσ σιλαν εξηλθεν παραδοθεισ τη χαριτι του θεου υπο των αδελφων
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, stablishing the Churches.
διηρχετο δε την συριαν και κιλικιαν επιστηριζων τασ εκκλησιασ
