Actuum Apostolorum 14

1 Factum est autem Iconii ut simul introirent in synagogam Iudaeorum, et loquerentur, ita ut crederet Iudaeorum, et Graecorum copiosa multitudo.

Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith.

2 Qui vero increduli fuerunt Iudaei, suscitaverunt, et ad iracundiam concitaverunt animas Gentium adversus fratres.

But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.

3 Multo igitur tempore demorati sunt, fiducialiter agentes in Domino, testimonium perhibente verbo gratiae suae, dante signa, et prodigia fieri per manus eorum.

So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

4 Divisa est autem multitudo civitatis: et quidam quidem erant cum Iudaeis, quidam vero cum Apostolis.

But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.

5 Cum autem factus esset impetus Gentilium, et Iudaeorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent, et lapidarent eos,

And when a violent attempt was made by the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to make an attack on them and have them stoned,

6 intelligentes confugerunt ad civitates Licaoniae Lystram, et Derben, et universam in circuitu regionem,

Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:

7 et ibi evangelizantes erant.

And went on preaching the good news there.

8 Et quidam vir Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matris suae, qui numquam ambulaverat.

And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth had been without the use of his feet, never having had the power of walking.

9 Hic audivit Paulum loquentem. Qui intuitus eum, et videns quia fidem haberet ut salvus fieret,

This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,

10 dixit magna voce: Surge super pedes tuos rectus. Et exilivit, et ambulabat.

Said in a loud voice, Get up on your feet. And, jumping up, he went walking about.

11 Turbae autem cum vidissent quod fecerat Paulus, levaverunt vocem suam Licaonice dicentes: Dii similes facti hominibus, descenderunt ad nos.

And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.

12 Et vocabant Barnabam Iovem, Paulum vero Mercurium: quoniam ipse erat dux verbi.

And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.

13 Sacerdos quoque Iovis, qui erat ante civitatem, tauros, et coronas ante ianuas afferens, cum populis volebat sacrificare.

And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people.

14 Quod ubi audierunt Apostoli, Barnabas et Paulus, conscissis tunicis suis exilierunt in turbas clamantes,

But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,

15 et dicentes: Viri, quid haec facitis? et nos mortales sumus, similes vobis homines, annunciantes vobis ab his vanis converti ad Deum vivum, qui fecit caelum, et terram, et mare, et omnia quae in eis sunt:

Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:

16 qui in praeteritis generationibus dimisit omnes gentes ingredi vias suas.

Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.

17 Et quidem non sine testimonio semetipsum reliquit benefaciens de caelo, dans pluvias, et tempora fructifera, implens cibo, et laetitia corda eorum.

But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.

18 Et haec dicentes, vix sedaverunt turbas ne sibi immolarent.

And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them.

19 Supervenerunt autem quidam ab Antiochia, et Iconio Iudaei: et persuasis turbis, lapidantesque Paulum, traxerunt extra civitatem, existimantes eum mortuum esse.

But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.

20 Circumdantibus autem eum discipulis, surgens intravit civitatem, et postera die profectus est cum Barnaba in Derben.

But when the disciples came round him, he got up and went into the town: and the day after he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 Cumque evangelizassent civitati illi, et docuissent multos, reversi sunt Lystram, et Iconium, et Antiochiam,

And having made a number of disciples through the preaching of the good news in that town, they went back to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,

22 confirmantes animas discipulorum, exhortantesque ut permanerent in fide: et quoniam per multas tribulationes oportet nos intrare in regnum Dei.

Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.

23 Et cum constituissent illis per singulas ecclesias presbyteros, et orassent cum ieiunationibus, commendaverunt eos Domino, in quem crediderunt.

And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.

24 Transeuntesque Pisidiam, venerunt in Pamphyliam,

And they went through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

25 et loquentes verbum Domini in Pergen, descenderunt in Attaliam:

And, after preaching the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;

26 et inde navigaverunt Antiochiam, unde erant traditi gratiae Dei in opus, quod compleverunt.

And from there they went by ship to Antioch, where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had not done.

27 Cum autem venissent, et congregassent Ecclesiam, retulerunt quanta fecisset Deus cum illis, et quia aperuisset Gentibus ostium fidei.

And when they came there, and had got the church together, they gave them an account of all the things which God had done through them, and how he had made open a door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 Morati sunt autem tempus non modicum cum discipulis.

And they were with the disciples there for a long time.
