< Acts 14 >
1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].
Nahitabo kini didto sa Iconio nga si Pablo ug Barnabas misulod sa sinagoga sa mga Judio ug misulti sa paagi nga ang dakong panon sa mga Judio ug sa mga Griyego mituo.
2 But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].
Apan ang mga Judio nga masinupakon nagpalibog sa mga hunahuna sa mga Gentil ug naghimo kanila nga masilag batok sa mga kaigsoonan.
3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.
Busa nagpabilin sila didto sa dugay nga panahon, nagsulti nga maisugon uban sa gahom sa Ginoo, samtang siya mihatag ug pagpamatuod sa mensahe mahitungod sa iyang grasya. Iya kining gibuhat pinaagi sa pagtugot sa mga timailhan ug mga kahibulongan nga gipamuhat pinaagi sa mga kamot ni Pablo ug ni Barnabas.
4 The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.
Apan ang kadaghanan sa siyudad nabahin: ang pipila nga mga tawo midapig sa mga Judio, ug ang pipila sa mga apostoles.
5 Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.
Sa dihang ang mga Gentil ug mga Judio misulay pagdani sa ilang mga pangulo aron pagdaogdaog ug pagbato kang Pablo ug kang Barnabas,
6 But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].
nahibaloan nila kini ug miikyas sa mga siyudad sa Lycaonia, Lystra ug Derbe, ug sa palibot nga rehiyon,
7 [While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
ug didto ilang gisangyaw ang ebanghelyo.
8 [Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.
Didto sa Lystra adunay usa ka tawo nga naglingkod, walay kusog ang iyang mga tiil, bakol gikan pa sa sabakan sa iyang inahan, kansang wala makalakaw sukad.
9 He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.
Kini nga tawo nakadungog sa mga gipanulti ni Pablo. Misud-ong si Pablo kaniya ug nakita nga siya adunay pagtuo nga mamahimong maayo.
10 So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
Busa miingon siya kaniya sa kusog nga tingog, “Itindog ang imong mga tiil.” Ug ang tawo milukso ug milakawlakaw.
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”
Sa dihang nakita sa panon sa katawhan kung unsa ang gibuhat ni Pablo, sila nagpatugbaw sa ilang mga tingog, nga nagsulti sa pinulongan nga Lycaonia, “Ang mga dios nanganaog alang kanato sama sa hulagway sa tawo.”
12 They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.
Gitawag nila si Barnabas nga “Zeus,” ug si Pablo, “Hermes,” tungod kay siya ang nangulong tigpamaba.
13 Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.
Ang pari ni Zeus, nga ang templo anaa lang sa gawas sa siyudad, nagdala ug mga toro ug mga garlan didto sa ganghaan; siya ug ang panon sa katawhan buot motanyag ug halad.
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,
Apan sa dihang ang mga apostoles, nga si Barnabas ug si Pablo, nakadungog niini, gigisi nila ang ilang bisti ug dihadiha dayon miadto sa panon, misinggit
15 “Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.
ug miingon, “Mga tawo, nganong gibuhat ninyo kining mga butanga? Kami usab mga tawo lamang nga adunay susamang pagbati nga sama kaninyo. Kami nagdala ug maayong mga balita, aron mobiya gayod kamo niining walay pulos nga mga butang alang sa buhing Dios, nga nagbuhat sa kalangitan, sa kalibotan, ug sa kadagatan ug sa tanan nga anaa niini.
16 In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].
Sa niaging mga kapanahonan, siya nagtugot sa tanang nasod nga maglakaw sa ilang kaugalingong mga pamaagi.
17 But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”
Apan sa gihapon, wala siya mibiya nga walay saksi, ingon niana siya nagbuhat ug maayo ug naghatag kaninyo sa ulan sa kalangitan ug mga mabungahong tempo, nga mipuno sa inyong mga kasingkasing uban sa mga pagkaon ug kalipay.”
18 The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].
Bisan pa niining mga pulonga, si Pablo ug si Barnabas halos wala nakapugong sa panon sa katawhan aron sa paghalad ngadto kanila.
19 [However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].
Apan ang uban nga mga Judio nga gikan sa Antioquia ug Iconio miadto ug gidani ang panon sa katawhan. Gibato nila si Pablo ug giguyod siya pagawas sa siyudad, naghunahuna sila nga siya patay na.
20 They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.
Apan sa dihang ang mga disipulo mialirong kaniya, mitindog siya ug misulod sa siyudad. Sa sunod nga adlaw, siya miadto sa Derbe uban si Barnabas.
21 They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].
Pagkahuman nila ug sangyaw sa ebanghelyo niana nga siyudad ug nagkabig sa daghang disipulo, sila mibalik sa Lystra, sa Iconio, ug sa Antioquia.
22 [In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”
Sila makanunayon nga nagpalig-on sa mga panghunahuna sa mga disipulo ug nagdasig kanila sa pagpadayon sa pagtuo. Sila miingon kanila nga pinaagi sa daghang mga pag-antos nga kita kinahanglan mosulod sa gingharian sa Dios.
23 Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].
Sa dihang sila nagpili alang kanila ug mga kadagkoan sa matag katilingban sa mga magtutuo, ug nag-ampo inubanan sa pagpuasa, sila nagtugyan kanila sa Ginoo, nga ilang gituohan.
24 After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
Unya sila milabay sa Pisidia ug miabot sa Pamfilia.
25 [In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.
Sa dihang gisulti nila ang pulong didto sa Perga, milugsong sila sa Atalia.
26 There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.
Gikan didto sila milawig sa Antioquia, diin sila gitugyan sa grasya sa Dios alang sa buluhaton nga ila na karong nahuman.
27 When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].
Sa pag-abot nila sa Antioquia ug gitigom ang pundok, gisulti nila ang tanang mga butang nga gibuhat sa Dios kanila, ug giunsa niya pag-abli sa pultahan sa pagtuo alang sa mga Gentil.
28 Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
Nagpabilin sila sa dugay nga panahon uban ang mga disipulo.
