Acts 13
1 Among [the people in] the congregation at Antioch there were (prophets/those who spoke messages from God) and those who taught [people about Jesus. They were] Barnabas; Simeon, who was also called Niger/Blackman; Lucius, from Cyrene [city]; Manaen, who had grown up with [King] Herod [Antipas]; and Saul.
Kaj en Antioĥia, en la tiea eklezio, estis profetoj kaj instruistoj, Barnabas, kaj Simeon, nomata Niger, kaj Lucio, la Kirenano, kaj Manaen, kunvartito de la tetrarĥo Herodo, kaj Saŭlo.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said [to them], “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to [serve] me and to [go and do] the work that I have chosen them [to do]!”
Kaj dum ili faris servon al la Sinjoro kaj fastis, la Sankta Spirito diris: Apartigu al mi Barnabason kaj Saŭlon por tiu laboro, al kiu mi ilin vokis.
3 So they continued (to fast/to abstain from eating food) and pray. Then having put their hands on Barnabas and Saul and [praying that God would help them], they sent them off [to do what the Holy Spirit had commanded].
Tiam, fastinte kaj preĝinte kaj metinte sur ilin la manojn, ili forsendis ilin.
4 Barnabas and Saul, guided by the Holy Spirit, went down [from Antioch] to Seleucia [port]. From there they went by ship to Salamis [port on Cyprus Island].
Kaj ĉi tiuj, forkondukite de la Sankta Spirito, malsupreniris al Seleŭkia; kaj de tie ili ŝipiris al Kipro.
5 While they were in Salamis, [they went] to the Jewish meeting places. There they proclaimed the message from God [about Jesus]. John [Mark went with them and] was helping them.
Kaj estante en Salamis, ili proklamis la vorton de Dio en la sinagogoj de la Judoj; kaj ili havis Johanon kiel helpanton.
6 [The three of] them went across the entire island to Paphos [city]. There they met a magician whose name was Bar-Jesus. He was a Jew who falsely [claimed] (to be a prophet/to speak messages from God).
Kaj trairinte la tutan insulon ĝis Pafos, ili trovis unu magiiston, Judan falsan profeton, kies nomo estis Bar-Jesuo,
7 He often accompanied the governor [of the island], Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor sent [someone] to ask Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear God’s message. [So Barnabas and Saul came and told him about Jesus].
kiu estis kun la prokonsulo Sergio Paŭlo, prudenta viro. Ĉi tiu venigis al si Barnabason kaj Saŭlon, kaj deziris aŭdi la vorton de Dio.
8 However, the magician, whose name was Elymas [in the Greek language], was opposing them. He repeatedly tried to persuade the governor not to believe [in Jesus].
Sed kontraŭstaris al ili Elimas, la magiisto (ĉar tion signifas lia nomo), penante deturni la prokonsulon for de la fido.
9 Then Saul, who now called himself Paul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, looked intently at the magician and said,
Sed Saŭlo, kiu estas Paŭlo, plenigite de la Sankta Spirito kaj fikse rigardante lin,
10 “You [(sg)] are serving the devil and you oppose everything that is good! You are always lying [to people] and doing [other] evil things to them. (You must stop saying that the truth about the Lord [God is a lot of lies!]/When will you stop changing what is true about the Lord [God and saying] what is not true about him?) [RHQ]
diris: Ho vi, plena de ĉia trompo kaj ruzemeco, filo de diablo, malamiko de ĉia justeco, ĉu vi ne ĉesos defleksi la rektajn vojojn de la Sinjoro?
11 Right now the Lord [God] [MTY] is going to punish you! You will become blind and not [even] be able to see light for [some] time.” At once he became [blind, as though he was] in a dark mist, and he groped about, searching for someone [to hold him by the] hand and lead him.
Kaj nun jen la mano de la Sinjoro estas sur vi, kaj vi estos blinda, ne vidante la sunon dum kelka tempo. Kaj tuj falis sur lin nebulo kaj mallumo, kaj ĉirkaŭvagante, li serĉis mankondukantojn.
12 When the governor saw what had happened [to Elymas], he believed [in the Lord Jesus]. He was amazed by [what Paul and Barnabas] were teaching about the Lord [Jesus].
Tiam la prokonsulo, vidinte la okazintaĵon, kredis, mirigite de la instruado de la Sinjoro.
13 [After that], Paul and the two men with him went by ship from Paphos to Perga [port] in Pamphylia [province. At Perga] John [Mark] left them and returned to [his home in] Jerusalem.
Sed Paŭlo kaj liaj akompanantoj ekŝipiris de Pafos kaj venis al Perga en Pamfilio; kaj Johano forlasis ilin kaj reiris al Jerusalem.
14 Then Paul and Barnabas traveled [by land] from Perga, and arrived in Antioch [city] near Pisidia [district in Galatia province]. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.
Sed ili, trapasante de Perga venis al Antioĥia en Pisidio; kaj en la sabato ili eniris en la sinagogon, kaj sidiĝis.
15 [Someone] read [aloud] from what [Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other] prophets [had written] [MTY]. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave [someone this] note [to take] to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if [one of] you wants to speak to the people [here] to encourage them, please speak [to us(exc) now].”
Kaj post la legado de la leĝo kaj la profetoj, la sinagogestroj sendis al ili, dirante: Fratoj, se estas ĉe vi vorto de admono por la popolo, parolu.
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand [so that the people would listen to him]. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you [non-Jewish people] who [also] worship God, [please] listen [to me]!
Kaj Paŭlo, stariĝinte kaj gestinte per la mano, diris: Izraelidoj, kaj vi, kiuj timas Dion, aŭskultu.
17 God, whom we [(inc)] Israelis worship, chose our ancestors [to be his people], and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. [Then after many years], God helped them [MTY] powerfully and led them out of there.
La Dio de ĉi tiu popolo Izrael elektis niajn patrojn, kaj altigis la popolon dum la loĝado en Egiptujo, kaj per alta brako elkondukis ilin el tie.
18 [Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he] cared for them for about 40 years [while they were] in the desert.
Kaj en la daŭro de ĉirkaŭ kvardek jaroj Li toleris ilian konduton en la dezerto.
19 He [enabled the Israelis] to conquer seven tribal groups [who were then living] in Canaan [region], and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.
Kaj eksterminte sep naciojn en la lando Kanaana, Li donis al ili ilian landon kiel heredon por ĉirkaŭ kvarcent kvindek jaroj;
20 [Our ancestors began to possess Canaan] about 450 years after [their ancestors had arrived in Egypt].” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders [to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people] until the time when the prophet Samuel [ruled them].
kaj post tio Li donis juĝistojn ĝis la profeto Samuel.
21 Then, [while Samuel was still their leader], the people demanded that he [appoint] a king [to rule them. So] God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, [to be their king]. He [ruled them] for 40 years.
Kaj poste ili petis reĝon; kaj Dio donis al ili Saulon, filon de Kiŝ, viron el la tribo de Benjamen, por kvardek jaroj.
22 After God had rejected Saul [from being king], he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire [IDM]. He will do [everything that] I want [him to do].’”
Kaj formetinte lin, Li levis al ili Davidon kiel reĝon, pri kiu Li parolis, atestante: Mi trovis Davidon, filon de Jiŝaj, viron laŭ Mia koro; li plenumos Mian tutan volon.
23 “From [among] David’s descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to [us] Israeli people to save us, just like he had told [David and our other ancestors] that he would do.
El lia idaro Dio laŭ promeso venigis al Izrael Savanton, Jesuon,
24 Before Jesus began his work, John [the Baptizer] preached to all of our Israeli people [who came to him. He told them] that they should turn away from their sinful behavior [and ask God to forgive them. Then he] would baptize them.
kiam Johano jam predikis antaŭ lia alveno la bapton de pento al la tuta popolo Izrael.
25 When John was about to finish the work [that God gave him to do], he frequently said [to the people], ‘Do you think [RHQ] that I am [the Messiah whom God promised to send]? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will [soon] come. [He is so much greater than I am that] I am not [even] important enough to be his slave [MET].’”
Kaj dum Johano plenumis sian kuradon, li diris: Kiu vi supozas, ke mi estas? mi ne estas tiu. Sed jen venas post mi unu, al kiu mi ne estas inda malligi la sandalojn de la piedoj.
26 “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and [you non-Jewish people who] also worship God, [please listen! It is] to [all of] us that [God] has sent the message about [how he] saves people.
Fratoj, idoj el la raso de Abraham, kaj tiuj inter vi, kiuj timas Dion, al ni estas sendita la vorto de ĉi tiu savo.
27 The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man [Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them]. Although messages from [MTY] the prophets have been read [aloud] {someone has read [aloud] messages from [MTY] the prophets} every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), they did not understand [what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So] the [Jewish leaders] condemned Jesus [to die], which was just like the prophets predicted.
Ĉar la loĝantoj en Jerusalem kaj iliaj regantoj ne konis lin; kaj kondamnante lin, ili plenumis la voĉojn de la profetoj ĉiusabate legatajn.
28 [Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things], but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate [the governor] to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. [So Pilate did what they asked him to do].
Kaj trovinte en li nenian kaŭzon de morto, ili tamen petis Pilaton mortigi lin.
29 They did [to Jesus] all the things that [the prophets long ago had] written [that people would do to] him. [They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then] his body was taken {[some people took] his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.
Kaj plenuminte ĉion, kio estis skribita pri li, ili forprenis lin de la lignaĵo kaj metis lin en tombon.
30 However, God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died)
Sed Dio levis lin el la mortintoj;
31 and for many days he [repeatedly] appeared to [his followers] who had come along with him from Galilee [province] to Jerusalem. Those [who saw him] are telling the [Jewish] people about him now.”
kaj li estis vidata multajn tagojn de tiuj, kiuj venis kun li el Galileo en Jerusalemon, kaj ili nun estas liaj atestantoj ĉe la popolo.
32 “[Right] now we [two] are proclaiming to you this good message. We want to tell you that God has fulfilled what he promised to [our Jewish] ancestors!
Kaj ni alportas al vi bonan sciigon pri la promeso farita al la patroj,
33 He has now done that for us [(inc) who are] their descendants, [and also for you who are not Jews], by causing Jesus to live again. That is just like what [David] wrote in the second Psalm that [God said when he was sending his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son; Today I have shown everyone [that I really am] your Father.
ke Dio plenumis tion al ni, la filoj, relevinte Jesuon, kiel ankaŭ estas skribite en la dua psalmo: Vi estas Mia Filo, hodiaŭ Mi vin naskis.
34 [God] has (raised [the Messiah] from the dead/caused [the Messiah] to live again after he had died) and will never let him die again. [Concerning that, God] said [to our Jewish ancestors], ‘I will surely help you, as I [promised] David [that I would do].’
Kaj pri tio, ke Li relevis lin el la mortintoj, jam ne venontan en forputron, Li parolis jene: Mi donos al vi la fidindajn favorkoraĵojn de David.
35 So [in writing] another [Psalm, David] said this [to God about the Messiah]: ‘Because I am devoted to you and always obey [you, when I die] you [(sg)] will not let my body decay.’
Ĉar li ankaŭ diris en alia psalmo: Vi ne permesos, ke Via sanktulo forputru.
36 While David was living, he did what God wanted him to do. And when he died [EUP], his [body] was buried, [as] his ancestors’ [bodies had been buried], and his body decayed. [So he could not have been speaking about himself in this Psalm].
Ĉar David, servinte en sia generacio al la intenco de Dio, ekdormis, kaj alkolektiĝis al siaj patroj kaj vidis forputron;
37 [Instead, he was speaking about Jesus. Jesus also died], but God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again), and [therefore] his body did not decay.”
sed tiu, kiun Dio relevis, ne vidis forputron.
38 “Therefore, [my] fellow Israelis [and other friends], it is important for you to know that [we(exc)] are declaring to you [that God] can forgive you for your sins as a result of [what] Jesus [has done]. Because of [what] Jesus [has done], [God] considers that everyone who believes [in Jesus] is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {[God] has erased the record}) concerning everything that they [have done that displeased God. But] when [God] does [that for you], it is not as a result of [your obeying] the laws [that] Moses [wrote].
Estu do sciate al vi, fratoj, ke per ĉi tiu estas proklamata al vi pardonado de pekoj;
kaj ĉiu kredanto al li estas pravigita pri ĉio, pri kio vi ne povis esti pravigitaj per la leĝo de Moseo.
40 Therefore be careful that [God] does not judge you [MTY], as one of the prophets said [MTY] that God would do!
Gardu vin do, ke ne venu sur vin tio, kio estas dirita en la profetoj:
41 [The prophet wrote that God said], You who ridicule [me], you will [certainly] be astonished [when you see what I am doing], and [then] you will be destroyed. You will be astonished because I will do something [terrible to you] while you are living. You would not believe [that I would do that] even though someone told you!”
Rigardu, vi malestimantoj, kaj miru, kaj malaperu, Ĉar en via tempo Mi faras ion, Kion vi ne kredus, se oni rakontus al vi.
42 After Paul [finished speaking], while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, [many of] the people there repeatedly requested that on the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [the two of them] should speak to them [again] about those things [that Paul had just told them].
Kaj dum ili eliris el la sinagogo, oni petegis, ke ĉi tiuj vortoj estu parolataj al ili la venontan sabaton.
43 After they began to leave [that meeting], many [of them] went along with Paul and Barnabas. They consisted of Jews and also of non-Jews who had accepted the things that the Jews believe. Paul and Barnabas continued talking to them, and were urging them to continue [believing the message that] God kindly [forgives people’s sins because of what Jesus did].
Kaj kiam la sinagogo disiĝis, multaj el la Judoj kaj el la piaj prozelitoj sekvis Paŭlon kaj Barnabason, kiuj, alparolante ilin, urĝe admonis ilin persisti en la graco de Dio.
44 On the next Jewish rest day, most of the [people in Antioch came to] the Jewish meeting place to hear [Paul and Barnabas] speak about the Lord [Jesus].
En la sekvanta sabato preskaŭ la tuta urbo kolektiĝis, por aŭdi la vorton de Dio.
45 But [the leaders of] [SYN] the Jews became extremely jealous, because they saw that large crowds of [non-Jewish people were coming to hear Paul and Barnabas. So] they began to contradict the things that Paul was saying [and also] to insult [him].
Kaj la Judoj, vidante la homamasojn, pleniĝis de ĵaluzo, kaj kontraŭdiris la dirojn de Paŭlo, kaj blasfemis.
46 Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
Kaj Paŭlo kaj Barnabas, parolante kuraĝe, diris: Estis necese paroli al vi unue la vorton de Dio. Sed ĉar vi forpuŝis ĝin kaj ne juĝas vin indaj je la eterna vivo, jen ni turnas nin al la nacianoj. (aiōnios g166)
47 [We are doing that also] because the Lord [God] has commanded us [to do it]. He said to us, ‘I have appointed you [to reveal things about me] to non-Jewish people [MET] that will be [like] a light to them. [I have appointed] you to tell people everywhere [MTY] in the world [about the one who came] to save [them].’”
Ĉar tiel ordonis al ni la Sinjoro: Mi vin metis kiel lumon por la nacioj, Por ke vi estu por savo ĝis la plej malproksima parto de la tero.
48 While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
Kaj aŭdinte tion, la nacianoj ĝojis, kaj gloris la vorton de Dio; kaj el ili kredis ĉiuj, kiuj estis difinitaj por eterna vivo. (aiōnios g166)
49 [At that time, many of the believers] traveled around throughout that region. As they did that, they were proclaiming the message about the Lord [Jesus] [MTY].
Kaj la vorto de la Sinjoro estis disportata tra la tuta regiono.
50 However, [some leaders of] [SYN] the Jews incited the most important men in the city, and [some] important/influential women who had accepted what the Jews believe, to oppose [Paul and Barnabas. So those non-Jewish people] incited [other people also] to persecute Paul and Barnabas. As a result they expelled the two men from their region.
Sed la Judoj incitis la piajn virinojn bonfamajn kaj la ĉefojn de la urbo, kaj instigis persekutadon kontraŭ Paŭlo kaj Barnabas, kaj forpelis ilin el siaj limoj.
51 So, [as the two apostles were leaving, they] shook the dust from their feet [to show those Jewish leaders that God had rejected them and would punish them. They left Antioch] and went to Iconium [city].
Sed ili forskuis la polvon de siaj piedoj kontraŭ ili, kaj iris al Ikonio.
52 Meanwhile, the believers [in Antioch] continued to rejoice greatly, and they continued to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit.
Kaj la disĉiploj pleniĝis de ĝojo kaj de la Sankta Spirito.
