Actuum Apostolorum 14
1 Factum est autem Iconii, ut simul introirent in synagogam Iudæorum, et loquerentur, ita ut crederet Iudæorum, et Græcorum copiosa multitudo.
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 Qui vero increduli fuerunt Iudæi, suscitaverunt, et ad iracundiam concitaverunt animas Gentium adversus fratres.
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 Multo igitur tempore demorati sunt, fiducialiter agentes in Domino, testimonium perhibente verbo gratiæ suæ, dante signa, et prodigia fieri per manus eorum.
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 Divisa est autem multitudo civitatis: et quidam quidem erant cum Iudæis, quidam vero cum Apostolis.
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5 Cum autem factus esset impetus Gentilium, et Iudæorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent, et lapidarent eos,
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 intelligentes confugerunt ad civitates Lycaoniæ Lystram, et Derben, et universam in circuitu regionem,
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 et ibi evangelizantes erant.
There they preached the Good News.
8 Et quidam vir Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matris suæ, qui numquam ambulaverat.
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Hic audivit Paulum loquentem. Qui intuitus eum, et videns quia fidem haberet ut salvus fieret,
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 dixit magna voce: Surge super pedes tuos rectus. Et exilivit, et ambulabat.
said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
11 Turbæ autem cum vidissent quod fecerat Paulus, levaverunt vocem suam Lycaonice, dicentes: Quia dii similes facti hominibus, descenderunt ad nos.
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 Et vocabant Barnabam Iovem, Paulum vero Mercurium: quoniam ipse erat dux verbi.
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Sacerdos quoque Iovis, qui erat ante civitatem, tauros, et coronas ante ianuas afferens, cum populis volebat sacrificare.
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 Quod ubi audierunt Apostoli, Barnabas et Paulus, conscissis tunicis suis exilierunt in turbas clamantes,
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
15 et dicentes: Viri, quid hæc facitis? Et nos mortales sumus, similes vobis homines, annunciantes vobis ab his vanis converti ad Deum vivum, qui fecit cælum, et terram, et mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt:
“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 qui in præteritis generationibus dimisit omnes gentes ingredi vias suas.
who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Et quidem non sine testimonio semetipsum reliquit benefaciens de cælo, dans pluvias, et tempora fructifera, implens cibo, et lætitia corda eorum.
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 Et hæc dicentes, vix sedaverunt turbas ne sibi immolarent.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
19 Supervenerunt autem quidam ab Antiochia, et Iconio Iudæi: et persuasis turbis, lapidantesque Paulum, traxerunt extra civitatem, existimantes eum mortuum esse.
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 Circumdantibus autem eum discipulis, surgens intravit civitatem, et postera die profectus est cum Barnaba in Derben.
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 Cumque evangelizassent civitati illi, et docuissent multos, reversi sunt Lystram, et Iconium, et Antiochiam,
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 confirmantes animas discipulorum, exhortantesque ut permanerent in fide: et quoniam per multas tribulationes oportet nos intrare in regnum Dei.
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 Et cum constituissent illis per singulas ecclesias presbyteros, et orassent cum ieiunationibus, commendaverunt eos Domino, in quem crediderunt.
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 Transeuntesque Pisidiam, venerunt in Pamphyliam,
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 et loquentes verbum Domini in Perge, descendeunt in Attaliam:
When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 et inde navigaverunt Antiochiam, unde erant traditi gratiæ Dei in opus, quod compleverunt.
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 Cum autem venissent, et congregassent Ecclesiam, retulerunt quanta fecisset Deus cum illis, et quia aperuisset Gentibus ostium fidei.
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 Morati sunt autem tempus non modicum cum discipulis.
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
