Acts 13

1 And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers: both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also—Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother—and Saul;

ησαν δε εν αντιοχεια κατα την ουσαν εκκλησιαν προφηται και διδασκαλοι ο τε βαρναβας και συμεων ο καλουμενος νιγερ και λουκιος ο κυρηναιος μαναην τε ηρωδου του τετρααρχου συντροφος και σαυλος

2 and in their ministering to the LORD and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate to Me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,”

λειτουργουντων δε αυτων τω κυριω και νηστευοντων ειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον αφορισατε δη μοι τον βαρναβαν και σαυλον εις το εργον ο προσκεκλημαι αυτους

3 then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.

τοτε νηστευσαντες και προσευξαμενοι και επιθεντες τας χειρας αυτοις απελυσαν

4 These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus,

αυτοι μεν ουν εκπεμφθεντες υπο του αγιου πνευματος κατηλθον εις σελευκειαν εκειθεν τε απεπλευσαν εις κυπρον

5 and having come to Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John [as] a servant;

και γενομενοι εν σαλαμινι κατηγγελλον τον λογον του θεου εν ταις συναγωγαις των ιουδαιων ειχον δε και ιωαννην υπηρετην

6 and having gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] Bar-Jesus;

διελθοντες δε ολην την νησον αχρι παφου ευρον ανδρα τινα μαγον ψευδοπροφητην ιουδαιον ω ονομα {VAR1: βαριησους } {VAR2: βαριησου }

7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God,

ος ην συν τω ανθυπατω σεργιω παυλω ανδρι συνετω ουτος προσκαλεσαμενος βαρναβαν και σαυλον επεζητησεν ακουσαι τον λογον του θεου

8 and there withstood them Elymas the magus—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

ανθιστατο δε αυτοις ελυμας ο μαγος ουτως γαρ μεθερμηνευεται το ονομα αυτου ζητων διαστρεψαι τον ανθυπατον απο της πιστεως

9 And Saul—who also [is] Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked steadfastly on him,

σαυλος δε ο και παυλος πλησθεις πνευματος αγιου ατενισας εις αυτον

10 said, “O full of all guile, and all recklessness, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the right ways of the LORD?

ειπεν ω πληρης παντος δολου και πασης ραδιουργιας υιε διαβολου εχθρε πασης δικαιοσυνης ου παυση διαστρεφων τας οδους {VAR1: του } {VAR2: [του] } κυριου τας ευθειας

11 And now, behold, a hand of the LORD [is] on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season”; and instantly there fell on him a mist and darkness, and he, going around, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand;

και νυν ιδου χειρ κυριου επι σε και εση τυφλος μη βλεπων τον ηλιον αχρι καιρου παραχρημα {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: τε } επεσεν επ αυτον αχλυς και σκοτος και περιαγων εζητει χειραγωγους

12 then the proconsul having seen what has come to pass, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the LORD.

τοτε ιδων ο ανθυπατος το γεγονος επιστευσεν εκπλησσομενος επι τη διδαχη του κυριου

13 And those around Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, turned back to Jerusalem,

αναχθεντες δε απο της παφου οι περι παυλον ηλθον εις περγην της παμφυλιας ιωαννης δε αποχωρησας απ αυτων υπεστρεψεν εις ιεροσολυμα

14 and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, they sat down,

αυτοι δε διελθοντες απο της περγης παρεγενοντο εις αντιοχειαν την πισιδιαν και {VAR1: ελθοντες } {VAR2: (εισελθοντες) } εις την συναγωγην τη ημερα των σαββατων εκαθισαν

15 and after the reading of the Law and of the Prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there be a word in you of exhortation to the people—say on.”

μετα δε την αναγνωσιν του νομου και των προφητων απεστειλαν οι αρχισυναγωγοι προς αυτους λεγοντες ανδρες αδελφοι ει τις εστιν εν υμιν λογος παρακλησεως προς τον λαον λεγετε

16 And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, listen:

αναστας δε παυλος και κατασεισας τη χειρι ειπεν ανδρες ισραηλιται και οι φοβουμενοι τον θεον ακουσατε

17 the God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and He exalted the people in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and He brought them out of it with a high arm;

ο θεος του λαου τουτου ισραηλ εξελεξατο τους πατερας ημων και τον λαον υψωσεν εν τη παροικια εν γη αιγυπτου και μετα βραχιονος υψηλου εξηγαγεν αυτους εξ αυτης

18 and about a period of forty years He endured their conduct in the wilderness,

και ως τεσσερακονταετη χρονον ετροποφορησεν αυτους εν τη ερημω

19 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided their land to them by lot.

{VAR2: και } καθελων εθνη επτα εν γη χανααν κατεκληρονομησεν την γην αυτων

20 And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges—until Samuel the prophet;

ως ετεσιν τετρακοσιοις και πεντηκοντα και μετα ταυτα εδωκεν κριτας εως σαμουηλ {VAR2: [του] } προφητου

21 and thereafter they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

κακειθεν ητησαντο βασιλεα και εδωκεν αυτοις ο θεος τον σαουλ υιον κις ανδρα εκ φυλης βενιαμιν ετη τεσσερακοντα

22 and having removed him, He raised up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, He said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.

και μεταστησας αυτον ηγειρεν τον δαυιδ αυτοις εις βασιλεα ω και ειπεν μαρτυρησας ευρον δαυιδ τον του ιεσσαι {VAR1: [ανδρα] } {VAR2: ανδρα } κατα την καρδιαν μου ος ποιησει παντα τα θεληματα μου

23 Of this one’s seed, God, according to promise, raised to Israel a Savior—Jesus,

τουτου ο θεος απο του σπερματος κατ επαγγελιαν ηγαγεν τω ισραηλ σωτηρα ιησουν

24 John having first preached, before His coming, an immersion of conversion to all the people of Israel;

προκηρυξαντος ιωαννου προ προσωπου της εισοδου αυτου βαπτισμα μετανοιας παντι τω λαω ισραηλ

25 and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom do you suppose I am? I am not [He], but behold, He comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [His] feet.

ως δε επληρου ιωαννης τον δρομον ελεγεν τι εμε υπονοειτε ειναι ουκ ειμι εγω αλλ ιδου ερχεται μετ εμε ου ουκ ειμι αξιος το υποδημα των ποδων λυσαι

26 Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

ανδρες αδελφοι υιοι γενους αβρααμ και οι εν υμιν φοβουμενοι τον θεον ημιν ο λογος της σωτηριας ταυτης εξαπεσταλη

27 for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, having not known this One, also the voices of the Prophets, which are being read every Sabbath—having judged [Him]—fulfilled,

οι γαρ κατοικουντες εν ιερουσαλημ και οι αρχοντες αυτων τουτον αγνοησαντες και τας φωνας των προφητων τας κατα παν σαββατον αναγινωσκομενας κριναντες επληρωσαν

28 and having found no cause of death, they asked of Pilate that He should be slain,

και μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου ευροντες ητησαντο πιλατον αναιρεθηναι αυτον

29 and when they fulfilled all the things written about Him, having taken [Him] down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb;

ως δε ετελεσαν παντα τα περι αυτου γεγραμμενα καθελοντες απο του ξυλου εθηκαν εις μνημειον

30 and God raised Him out of the dead,

ο δε θεος ηγειρεν αυτον εκ νεκρων

31 and He was seen for many days of those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

ος ωφθη επι ημερας πλειους τοις συναναβασιν αυτω απο της γαλιλαιας εις ιερουσαλημ οιτινες [νυν] εισιν μαρτυρες αυτου προς τον λαον

32 And we proclaim good news to you—that the promise made to the fathers,

και ημεις υμας ευαγγελιζομεθα την προς τους πατερας επαγγελιαν γενομενην

33 God has completed this in full to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it has been written: You are My Son—I have begotten You today.

οτι ταυτην ο θεος εκπεπληρωκεν τοις τεκνοις {VAR1: ημων } {VAR2: [αυτων] ημιν } αναστησας ιησουν ως και εν τω ψαλμω γεγραπται τω δευτερω υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε

34 And that He raised Him up out of the dead, to no longer return to corruption, He has said this: I will give to You the holy [blessings] of David [that are] faithful;

οτι δε ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων μηκετι μελλοντα υποστρεφειν εις διαφθοραν ουτως ειρηκεν οτι δωσω υμιν τα οσια δαυιδ τα πιστα

35 for what reason He also says in another [place]: You will not give Your Holy One to see corruption;

διοτι και εν ετερω λεγει ου δωσεις τον οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν

36 for David, indeed, having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption,

δαυιδ μεν γαρ ιδια γενεα υπηρετησας τη του θεου βουλη εκοιμηθη και προσετεθη προς τους πατερας αυτου και ειδεν διαφθοραν

37 but He whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

ον δε ο θεος ηγειρεν ουκ ειδεν διαφθοραν

38 Let it therefore be known to you, men, brothers, that the forgiveness of sins is declared to you through this One,

γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν ανδρες αδελφοι οτι δια τουτου υμιν αφεσις αμαρτιων καταγγελλεται

39 and from all things in the Law of Moses from which you were not able to be declared righteous, everyone who is believing in this One is declared righteous;

{VAR1: και } {VAR2: [και] } απο παντων ων ουκ ηδυνηθητε εν νομω μωυσεως δικαιωθηναι εν τουτω πας ο πιστευων δικαιουται

40 see, therefore, it may not come on you that has been spoken in the Prophets:

βλεπετε ουν μη επελθη το ειρημενον εν τοις προφηταις

41 See, you despisers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, a work in which you may not believe, though anyone may declare [it] to you.”

ιδετε οι καταφρονηται και θαυμασατε και αφανισθητε οτι εργον εργαζομαι εγω εν ταις ημεραις υμων εργον ο ου μη πιστευσητε εαν τις εκδιηγηται υμιν

42 And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling on [them] that on the next Sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,

εξιοντων δε αυτων παρεκαλουν εις το μεταξυ σαββατον λαληθηναι αυτοις τα ρηματα ταυτα

43 and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

λυθεισης δε της συναγωγης ηκολουθησαν πολλοι των ιουδαιων και των σεβομενων προσηλυτων τω παυλω και τω βαρναβα οιτινες προσλαλουντες αυτοις επειθον αυτους προσμενειν τη χαριτι του θεου

44 And on the coming Sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,

τω δε ερχομενω σαββατω σχεδον πασα η πολις συνηχθη ακουσαι τον λογον του {VAR1: θεου } {VAR2: κυριου }

45 and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul—contradicting and slandering.

ιδοντες δε οι ιουδαιοι τους οχλους επλησθησαν ζηλου και αντελεγον τοις υπο παυλου λαλουμενοις βλασφημουντες

46 And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the word of God be first spoken to you, and seeing you thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the continuous life, behold, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)

παρρησιασαμενοι τε ο παυλος και ο βαρναβας ειπαν υμιν ην αναγκαιον πρωτον λαληθηναι τον λογον του θεου επειδη απωθεισθε αυτον και ουκ αξιους κρινετε εαυτους της αιωνιου ζωης ιδου στρεφομεθα εις τα εθνη (aiōnios g166)

47 for so the LORD has commanded us: I have set you for a light of nations—for your being for salvation to the end of the earth.”

ουτως γαρ εντεταλται ημιν ο κυριος τεθεικα σε εις φως εθνων του ειναι σε εις σωτηριαν εως εσχατου της γης

48 And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the LORD, and believed—as many as were appointed to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)

ακουοντα δε τα εθνη εχαιρον και εδοξαζον τον λογον του {VAR1: θεου } {VAR2: κυριου } και επιστευσαν οσοι ησαν τεταγμενοι εις ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)

49 and the word of the LORD was spread abroad through all the region.

διεφερετο δε ο λογος του κυριου δι ολης της χωρας

50 And the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and put them out from their borders;

οι δε ιουδαιοι παρωτρυναν τας σεβομενας γυναικας τας ευσχημονας και τους πρωτους της πολεως και επηγειραν διωγμον επι τον παυλον και βαρναβαν και εξεβαλον αυτους απο των οριων αυτων

51 and having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium,

οι δε εκτιναξαμενοι τον κονιορτον των ποδων επ αυτους ηλθον εις ικονιον

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

οι τε μαθηται επληρουντο χαρας και πνευματος αγιου
