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].
Ikonionissa he samoin menivät juutalaisten synagoogaan ja puhuivat niin, että suuri joukko sekä juutalaisia että kreikkalaisia uskoi.
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].
Mutta ne juutalaiset, jotka eivät uskoneet, yllyttivät ja kiihdyttivät pakanain mieltä veljiä vastaan.
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.
Niin he oleskelivat siellä kauan aikaa ja puhuivat rohkeasti, luottaen Herraan, joka armonsa sanan todistukseksi antoi tapahtua tunnustekoja ja ihmeitä heidän kättensä kautta.
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.
Ja kaupungin väestö jakaantui: toiset olivat juutalaisten puolella, toiset taas apostolien puolella.
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.
Mutta kun pakanat ja juutalaiset ynnä heidän hallitusmiehensä mielivät ryhtyä pahoinpitelemään ja kivittämään heitä,
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].
ja he sen huomasivat, pakenivat he Lykaonian kaupunkeihin, Lystraan ja Derbeen, ja niiden ympäristöön.
7 [While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
Ja siellä he julistivat evankeliumia.
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.
Ja Lystrassa oli mies, joka istui siellä, hervoton jaloistaan ja rampa äitinsä kohdusta saakka, eikä ollut koskaan kävellyt.
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.
Hän kuunteli Paavalin puhetta. Ja kun Paavali loi katseensa häneen ja näki hänellä olevan uskon, että hän voi tulla terveeksi,
10 So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
sanoi hän suurella äänellä: "Nouse pystyyn jaloillesi". Ja hän kavahti ylös ja käveli.
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]!”
Kun kansa näki, mitä Paavali oli tehnyt, korottivat he äänensä ja sanoivat lykaoniankielellä: "Jumalat ovat ihmishahmossa astuneet alas meidän luoksemme".
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.
Ja he sanoivat Barnabasta Zeukseksi ja Paavalia Hermeeksi, koska hän oli se, joka puhui.
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.
Ja kaupungin edustalla olevan Zeuksen temppelin pappi toi härkiä ja seppeleitä porttien eteen ja tahtoi väkijoukon kanssa uhrata.
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,
Mutta kun apostolit Barnabas ja Paavali sen kuulivat, repäisivät he vaatteensa ja juoksivat ulos kansanjoukkoon, huusivat
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.
ja sanoivat: "Miehet, miksi te näin teette? Mekin olemme ihmisiä, yhtä vajavaisia kuin te, ja julistamme teille evankeliumia, että te kääntyisitte noista turhista jumalista elävän Jumalan puoleen, joka on tehnyt taivaan ja maan ja meren ja kaikki, mitä niissä on.
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].
Menneitten sukupolvien aikoina hän on sallinut kaikkien pakanain vaeltaa omia teitänsä;
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.”
ja kuitenkaan hän ei ole ollut antamatta todistusta itsestään, sillä hän on tehnyt teille hyvää, antaen teille taivaasta sateita ja hedelmällisiä aikoja ja raviten teidän sydämenne ruualla ja ilolla."
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].
Näin puhuen he vaivoin saivat kansan hillityksi uhraamasta heille.
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].
Mutta sinne tuli Antiokiasta ja Ikonionista juutalaisia, ja he suostuttivat kansan puolellensa ja kivittivät Paavalia ja raastoivat hänet kaupungin ulkopuolelle, luullen hänet kuolleeksi.
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.
Mutta kun opetuslapset olivat kokoontuneet hänen ympärilleen, nousi hän ja meni kaupunkiin. Ja seuraavana päivänä hän lähti Barnabaan kanssa Derbeen.
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].
Ja julistettuaan evankeliumia siinä kaupungissa ja tehtyään monta opetuslapsiksi he palasivat Lystraan ja Ikonioniin ja Antiokiaan
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].”
ja vahvistivat opetuslasten sieluja ja kehoittivat heitä pysymään uskossa ja sanoivat: "Monen ahdistuksen kautta meidän pitää menemän sisälle Jumalan valtakuntaan".
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].
Ja kun he olivat valinneet heille vanhimmat jokaisessa seurakunnassa, niin he rukoillen ja paastoten jättivät heidät Herran haltuun, johon he nyt uskoivat.
24 After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
Ja he kulkivat läpi Pisidian ja tulivat Pamfyliaan;
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.
ja julistettuaan sanaa Pergessä he menivät Attaliaan.
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.
Ja sieltä he purjehtivat Antiokiaan, josta he olivat lähteneet, annettuina Jumalan armon haltuun sitä työtä varten, jonka he nyt olivat suorittaneet.
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].
Ja sinne saavuttuaan he kutsuivat seurakunnan koolle ja kertoivat, kuinka Jumala oli ollut heidän kanssansa ja tehnyt suuria ja kuinka hän oli avannut pakanoille uskon oven.
28 Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
Ja he viipyivät pitkän aikaa opetuslasten tykönä.
