< Acts 14 >
1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke, so that there believed a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks;
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲉⲩⲥⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ϩⲉ. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ.
2 and the unbelieving Jews stirred up and made the souls of the nations evil against the brothers;
ⲃ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲛⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲙⲉⲕϩ̅ⲛⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ.
3 [for a] long time, indeed, therefore, they abided speaking boldly in the LORD, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.
ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ. ⲉⲧϯ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϭⲓϫ.
4 And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles,
ⲇ̅ⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲡⲱϣ. ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ.
5 and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to mistreat [them], and to stone them,
ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲥⲟϣⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ.
6 they having become aware, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding region,
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲗⲩⲕⲁⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲗⲩⲥⲇⲣⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲃⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲡⲉⲣⲓⲭⲱⲣⲟⲥ
7 and there they were proclaiming good news.
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ
8 And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother—who never had walked;
ⲏ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲥⲇⲣⲁ ⲛ̅ϭⲱⲃ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ. ⲉϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲉⲩϭⲁⲗⲉ ⲡⲉ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϥⲙⲁⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϩ.
9 this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having steadfastly beheld him, and having seen that he has faith to be saved,
ⲑ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲱⲣⲙ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁϥ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet upright”; and he was springing and walking,
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲏ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲅ̅ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ̅ ϩⲓϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲟϭϥ̅ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ.
11 and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, lifted up their voice in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, “The gods, having become like men, came down to us”;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲁϥ. ⲁⲩϥⲓϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲁⲥⲡⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ.
12 they were also calling Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲍⲉⲩⲥ. ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡϩⲣ̅ⲙⲏⲥ. ⲉⲡⲉⲓⲇⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ.
13 And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, having brought oxen and garlands to the porches, wished to sacrifice with the multitudes,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲍⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ. ⲁϥⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲗⲟⲙ ⲉⲣⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲟ (ⲙ)ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲁⲗⲉⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈.
14 and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having torn their garments, sprung into the multitude, crying
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲡⲉϩⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲉⲓⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
15 and saying, “Men, why do you do these things? And we are similar-feeling men with you, proclaiming good news to you, to turn to the living God from these vanities, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲟⲩ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲛϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ (ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲉ) ⲉⲛⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲥⲁϩⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲉⲧϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ. ⲉⲕⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲉⲧⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲕⲁϩ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ.
16 who in the past generations permitted all the nations to go on in their ways,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϩⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϫⲱⲙ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ. ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲓⲟⲟⲩⲉ.
17 though, indeed, He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good—giving rains to us from Heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness”;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲧⲟⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ϭⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲛ̅ⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ⲉϥⲣ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ. ⲉϥϯ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϯⲕⲁⲣⲡⲟⲥ. ⲉϥⲧⲥⲓⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲩⲫⲏ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲛⲟϥ.
18 and saying these things, they scarcely restrained the multitudes from sacrificing to them.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϣⲱⲱⲧ ⲛⲁⲩ.
19 And there came there, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be dead;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲓⲕⲟⲛⲓⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϩⲉⲛⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲩⲣⲣⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ. ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ.
20 and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he entered into the city, and on the next day he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.
ⲕ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲱⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲣⲟⲩϩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ. ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛ̅ⲃⲁⲣⲛⲁⲃⲁⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲃⲏ.
21 Having also proclaimed good news to that city, and having discipled many, they turned back to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ. ⲁⲩⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲗⲩⲥⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲓⲕⲟⲛⲓⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲧⲓⲟⲭⲓⲁ.
22 confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that it is required of us to enter into the Kingdom of God through many tribulations,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ. ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϭⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲑⲗⲓⲯⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
23 and having appointed to them elders in every assembly by vote, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the LORD in whom they had believed.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲥⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϯ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
24 And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

25 and having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia,

26 and [from] there sailed to Antioch, from where they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;

27 and having come and gathered the assembly together, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He opened a door of faith to the nations;
