Acts 14
1 It happened in Iconium that they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great number of both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
們在依科尼雍，還是照樣進猶太人的會堂講道，以致有很多猶太人和希臘人信從了。
2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the non-Jewish people against the brothers.
那些固執不信的猶太人，卻挑撥並刺激外邦人的心，來相反弟兄們。
3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
他們在那裏逗留了一些日子，依賴主放心大膽地講道。主為證明他們所宣講的恩寵的話是真實的，藉他們的手顯了徵兆和奇蹟。
4 But the population of the city was divided. Some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
城中的群眾就分裂了：有的支持猶太人，有的支持宗徒。
5 When some of both the non-Jewish people and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
當外邦人和猶太人連同他們的官長蓄意侮辱他們，和用石頭砸死他們的時候，
6 they became aware of it, and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
他們一聽說，就逃往呂考尼雅的呂斯特辣、德爾貝兩座城和周圍的地方去了，
7 There they preached the gospel.
在那裏傳揚福音。
8 At Lystra a certain man sat, without strength in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
在呂斯特辣有一個人，患軟腳病，常坐著，由母胎中即是跛子，總沒有行走過。
9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
這人聽保祿講道；保祿注目看他，見他有信心，可得痊癒，
10 said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." He leaped up and walked.
便大聲說道：「直直地站起來！」這人遂跳起來行走。
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, "The gods have come down to us in human form."
群眾看見保祿所行的，就大聲用呂考尼雅話說：「神取了人形，降到我們這裏了!」
12 They called Barnabas "Jupiter," and Paul "Mercury," because he was the chief speaker.
他們遂稱巴爾納伯為則烏斯，稱保祿為赫爾默斯，因為它是主要發言人。
13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the crowds.
在城關的則烏斯的司祭，就帶著公牛與花圈來到大門前，要同群眾一起獻祭。
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes, and sprang into the crowd, crying out,
巴爾納伯和保祿宗徒聽說這事，就撕裂了自己的衣服，跑到群眾中，喊著，
15 "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;
說道：「人哪！你們這是作什麼﹖我們也是人啊！與你們有同樣的性情；我們只是給你們傳揚福音，為叫你們離開這些虛無之物，歸依生活的天主，是他創造了天地海洋和其中的一切。
16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
他在過去的世代，容忍了萬民各行其道；
17 Yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness."
但他並不是沒有以善行為自己作證，他從天上給你們賜了雨和結實的季節，以食物和喜樂充滿你們的心。」
18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the crowds from making a sacrifice to them.
說了這些話，纔算阻住了群眾，沒有向他們獻祭。
19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
卻有些猶太人，從安提約基雅和依科尼雍來，挑唆群眾；群眾用石頭砸了保祿，以為他死了，就把他拉到城外。
20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
但門徒們一圍到他跟前，他就起來進了城，第二天同巴爾納伯起身往德爾貝去了。
21 When they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
他們向那城傳揚福音，使許多人成為門徒，以後回到呂斯特辣、依科尼雍和安提約基雅，
22 confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into the Kingdom of God.
到處堅固門徒的心，鼓勵他們堅持信仰，說我們必須經過許多困難，纔能進入天主的國。
23 When they had appointed elders for them in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
二人在各教會給他們選立了長老，在祈禱禁食以後，把他們託付於他們所信仰的主。
24 They passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.
以後，他們又經過丕息狄雅來到旁非里雅，
25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
在培爾革宣講道理以後，下到阿塔肋雅，
26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
又從那裏乘船赴安提約基雅。他們原來是從那裏被託於天主的恩寵，作現在已完成的工作。
27 When they had arrived, and had gathered the church together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
他們一到，就聚集會眾，報告天主偕同他們所行的一切大事，和怎樣給外邦人打開了信德的門。
28 And they stayed with the disciples a long time.
二人就在那裏同門徒們住了不少時日。
