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].
Kaj en Ikonio ili ambaŭ eniris en la sinagogon de la Judoj, kaj tiel parolis, ke granda amaso da Judoj kaj Grekoj kredis.
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].
Sed la nekredantaj Judoj ekscitis kaj malbonigis la animojn de la nacianoj kontraŭ la fratoj.
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.
Tial ili restis longan tempon tie, sentime parolante en la Sinjoro, kiu atestadis pri la vorto de Sia graco, lasante, ke signoj kaj mirakloj fariĝu per iliaj manoj.
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.
Sed la loĝantaro de la urbo dividiĝis; unuj estis kun la Judoj, kaj aliaj kun la apostoloj.
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.
Kaj kiam fariĝis atenco de la nacianoj kaj ankaŭ de la Judoj kun iliaj regantoj, por ataki kaj ŝtonmortigi ilin,
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].
sciiĝinte pri ĝi, ili forsavis sin en la urbojn de Likaonio — Listran kaj Derben kaj la ĉirkaŭaĵon;
7 [While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
kaj tie ili proklamis la evangelion.
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.
Kaj en Listra sidadis unu viro senforta en la piedoj, kiu estis lama de la patrina ventro, kaj neniam piediris.
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.
Li aŭdis Paŭlon paroli; kaj ĉi tiu, fikse rigardante lin, kaj vidante, ke ili havas fidon por esti sanigita,
10 So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
diris per laŭta voĉo: Stariĝu rekte sur viaj piedoj. Kaj li salte leviĝis kaj piediris.
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]!”
Kaj la homamaso, vidinte tion, kion Paŭlo faris, levis sian voĉon, kaj diris en la Likaonia lingvo: La dioj en homa formo malsupreniris al ni.
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.
Kaj Barnabason ili nomis Zeŭs, kaj Paŭlon Hermes, ĉar ĉi tiu estis la ĉefa parolanto.
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.
Kaj la pastro de la Zeŭs, kiu estis antaŭ la urbo, alkondukis bovojn kaj girlandojn al la pordegoj, kaj volis oferi kun la homamasoj.
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,
Sed la apostoloj Paŭlo kaj Barnabas, aŭdinte, disŝiris siajn vestojn, kaj antaŭensaltis en la amason, kriante,
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.
kaj dirante: Ho viroj, kial vi tion faras? Ni ankaŭ estas homoj, samsentaj kiel vi, kaj ni alportas al vi evangelion, por turni vin de ĉi tiuj vantaĵoj al la vivanta Dio, kiu faris la ĉielon kaj la teron kaj la maron kaj ĉion en ili;
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].
kaj kiu en la pasintaj generacioj permesis, ke ĉiuj nacioj iru siajn proprajn vojojn.
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.”
Tamen Li ne lasis Sin sen atesto, ĉar Li bonfaris, donante al vi pluvojn el la ĉielo kaj fruktoportajn sezonojn, plenigante viajn korojn per nutraĵo kaj feliĉo.
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].
Kaj tiel dirante, ili apenaŭ retenis la amasojn de oferado al ili.
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].
Sed alvenis Judoj el Antioĥia kaj Ikonio, kaj, instiginte la amason, ili priĵetis Paŭlon per ŝtonoj, kaj trenis lin ekster la urbon, pensante, ke li mortis.
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.
Sed kiam la disĉiploj staris ĉirkaŭ li, li leviĝis, kaj eniris en la urbon; kaj en la sekvanta tago li eliris kun Barnabas al Derbe.
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].
Kaj proklaminte la evangelion al tiu urbo, kaj varbinte multajn disĉiplojn, ili revenis al Listra kaj Ikonio kaj Antioĥia,
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].”
firmigante la animojn de la disĉiploj, kaj admonante, ke ili restu en la fido, kaj ke tra multaj suferoj ni devas eniri en la regnon de Dio.
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].
Kaj elektinte presbiterojn por ili en ĉiu eklezio, kaj preĝinte kun fastado, ili rekomendis ilin al la Sinjoro, al kiu ili ekkredis.
24 After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
Kaj trairinte Pisidion, ili venis en Pamfilion.
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.
Kaj parolinte la vorton en Perga, ili malsupreniris al 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.
kaj de tie ili ŝipiris al Antioĥia, de kie ili estis konfiditaj al la graco de Dio por la laboro, kiun ili plenumis.
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].
Kaj kiam ili alvenis, ili kunvenigis la eklezion, kaj rakontis ĉion, kion Dio per ili faris, kaj ke Li malfermis al la nacianoj pordon de fido.
28 Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
Kaj ili restis kelkan tempon kun la disĉiploj.
