Πραξεις 14
1 εγενετο δε εν ικονιω κατα το αυτο εισελθειν αυτουσ εισ την συναγωγην των ιουδαιων και λαλησαι ουτωσ ωστε πιστευσαι ιουδαιων τε και ελληνων πολυ πληθοσ
In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 οι δε απειθουντεσ ιουδαιοι επηγειραν και εκακωσαν τασ ψυχασ των εθνων κατα των αδελφων
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 ικανον μεν ουν χρονον διετριψαν παρρησιαζομενοι επι τω κυριω τω μαρτυρουντι τω λογω τησ χαριτοσ αυτου διδοντι σημεια και τερατα γινεσθαι δια των χειρων αυτων
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.
4 εσχισθη δε το πληθοσ τησ πολεωσ και οι μεν ησαν συν τοισ ιουδαιοισ οι δε συν τοισ αποστολοισ
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5 ωσ δε εγενετο ορμη των εθνων τε και ιουδαιων συν τοισ αρχουσιν αυτων υβρισαι και λιθοβολησαι αυτουσ
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 συνιδοντεσ κατεφυγον εισ τασ πολεισ τησ λυκαονιασ λυστραν και δερβην και την περιχωρον
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 κακει ησαν ευαγγελιζομενοι
There they preached the Good News.
8 και τισ ανηρ εν λυστροισ αδυνατοσ τοισ ποσιν εκαθητο χωλοσ εκ κοιλιασ μητροσ αυτου υπαρχων οσ ουδεποτε περιπεπατηκει
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 ουτοσ ηκουσεν του παυλου λαλουντοσ οσ ατενισασ αυτω και ιδων οτι πιστιν εχει του σωθηναι
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 ειπεν μεγαλη τη φωνη αναστηθι επι τουσ ποδασ σου ορθωσ και ηλλετο και περιεπατει
said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
11 οι δε οχλοι ιδοντεσ ο εποιησεν ο παυλοσ επηραν την φωνην αυτων λυκαονιστι λεγοντεσ οι θεοι ομοιωθεντεσ ανθρωποισ κατεβησαν προσ ημασ
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12 εκαλουν τε τον μεν βαρναβαν δια τον δε παυλον ερμην επειδη αυτοσ ην ο ηγουμενοσ του λογου
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13 ο δε ιερευσ του διοσ του οντοσ προ τησ πολεωσ αυτων ταυρουσ και στεμματα επι τουσ πυλωνασ ενεγκασ συν τοισ οχλοισ ηθελεν θυειν
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 multitudes.
14 ακουσαντεσ δε οι αποστολοι βαρναβασ και παυλοσ διαρρηξαντεσ τα ιματια αυτων εισεπηδησαν εισ τον οχλον κραζοντεσ
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
15 και λεγοντεσ ανδρεσ τι ταυτα ποιειτε και ημεισ ομοιοπαθεισ εσμεν υμιν ανθρωποι ευαγγελιζομενοι υμασ απο τουτων των ματαιων επιστρεφειν επι τον θεον τον ζωντα οσ εποιησεν τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοισ
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 οσ εν ταισ παρωχημεναισ γενεαισ ειασεν παντα τα εθνη πορευεσθαι ταισ οδοισ αυτων
who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 καιτοιγε ουκ αμαρτυρον εαυτον αφηκεν αγαθοποιων ουρανοθεν υμιν υετουσ διδουσ και καιρουσ καρποφορουσ εμπιπλων τροφησ και ευφροσυνησ τασ καρδιασ ημων
Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 και ταυτα λεγοντεσ μολισ κατεπαυσαν τουσ οχλουσ του μη θυειν αυτοισ
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
19 επηλθον δε απο αντιοχειασ και ικονιου ιουδαιοι και πεισαντεσ τουσ οχλουσ και λιθασαντεσ τον παυλον εσυρον εξω τησ πολεωσ νομισαντεσ αυτον τεθναναι
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 κυκλωσαντων δε αυτον των μαθητων αναστασ εισηλθεν εισ την πολιν και τη επαυριον εξηλθεν συν τω βαρναβα εισ δερβην
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.
21 ευαγγελισαμενοι τε την πολιν εκεινην και μαθητευσαντεσ ικανουσ υπεστρεψαν εισ την λυστραν και ικονιον και αντιοχειαν
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 επιστηριζοντεσ τασ ψυχασ των μαθητων παρακαλουντεσ εμμενειν τη πιστει και οτι δια πολλων θλιψεων δει ημασ εισελθειν εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23 χειροτονησαντεσ δε αυτοισ πρεσβυτερουσ κατ εκκλησιαν προσευξαμενοι μετα νηστειων παρεθεντο αυτουσ τω κυριω εισ ον πεπιστευκεισαν
When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 και διελθοντεσ την πισιδιαν ηλθον εισ παμφυλιαν
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 και λαλησαντεσ εν περγη τον λογον κατεβησαν εισ ατταλειαν
When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 κακειθεν απεπλευσαν εισ αντιοχειαν οθεν ησαν παραδεδομενοι τη χαριτι του θεου εισ το εργον ο επληρωσαν
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 παραγενομενοι δε και συναγαγοντεσ την εκκλησιαν ανηγγειλαν οσα εποιησεν ο θεοσ μετ αυτων και οτι ηνοιξεν τοισ εθνεσιν θυραν πιστεωσ
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 διετριβον δε εκει χρονον ουκ ολιγον συν τοισ μαθηταισ
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
