Now, there were in the congregation that was at Antioch, certain prophets and teachers; particularly, Barnabas, and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius, the Cyrenian, and Manaen, who was educated with Herod, the tetrarch, and Saul.

And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.

3 tunc ieiunantes et orantes inponentesque eis manus dimiserunt illos

11 et nunc ecce manus Domini super te et eris caecus non videns solem usque ad tempus et confestim cecidit in eum caligo et tenebrae et circumiens quaerebat qui ei manum daret

And, behold, now the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, and not see the sun for a time. And, immediately, a mist and darkness fell upon him; and going about, he sought some to lead him by the hand.

12 tunc proconsul cum vidisset factum credidit admirans super doctrinam Domini

Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed; being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.

And loosing from Paphos, they who were with Paul, came to Perga, in Pamphylia; but John withdrew himself from them, and returned to Jerusalem.

Nevertheless, they, going on from Perga, came to Antioch, in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.

And after the reading of the law and the prophets; the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to the people, speak it.

16 surgens autem Paulus et manu silentium indicens ait viri israhelitae et qui timetis Deum audite

Then Paul stood up, and waiving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, hearken.

And when John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do you imagine me to be? I am not He; but behold, there comes one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 viri fratres filii generis Abraham et qui in vobis timent Deum vobis verbum salutis huius missum est

Brethren, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God; to you is the word of this salvation sent:

27 qui enim habitabant Hierusalem et principes eius hunc ignorantes et voces prophetarum quae per omne sabbatum leguntur iudicantes impleverunt

for the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the sayings of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath day; have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 et nullam causam mortis invenientes in eum petierunt a Pilato ut interficerent eum

29 cumque consummassent omnia quae de eo scripta erant deponentes eum de ligno posuerunt in monumento

31 qui simul ascenderant cum eo de Galilaea in Hierusalem qui usque nunc sunt testes eius ad plebem

and he appeared for several days to those that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

32 et nos vobis adnuntiamus ea quae ad patres nostros repromissio facta est

And we bring you good tidings, that the very promise which was made to the fathers,

33 quoniam hanc Deus adimplevit filiis nostris resuscitans Iesum sicut et in psalmo secundo scriptum est Filius meus es tu ego hodie genui te

God has accomplished to us, their children, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."

34 quod autem suscitaverit eum a mortuis amplius iam non reversurum in corruptionem ita dixit quia dabo vobis sancta David fidelia

And because he has raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus, "I will give you the sure mercies of David."

35 ideoque et alias dicit non dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem

37 quem vero Deus suscitavit non vidit corruptionem

But he whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

38 notum igitur sit vobis viri fratres quia per hunc vobis remissio peccatorum adnuntiatur ab omnibus quibus non potuistis in lege Mosi iustificari

Be it known, therefore, to you, brethren, that by Him remission of sins is proclaimed to you:

39 in hoc omnis qui credit iustificatur

and by Him, every one that believes is justified from all things; from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 videte ergo ne superveniat quod dictum est in prophetis

See to it, therefore, that what is spoken in the prophets may not come upon you:

41 videte contemptores et admiramini et disperdimini quia opus operor ego in diebus vestris opus quod non credetis si quis enarraverit vobis

"Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I perform a work in your days; a work which you will not believe, though one should distinctly declare it to you."

42 exeuntibus autem illis rogabant ut sequenti sabbato loquerentur sibi verba haec

Now, when going out, they requested that these words might be spoken to them, on the following Sabbath.

43 cumque dimissa esset synagoga secuti sunt multi Iudaeorum et colentium advenarum Paulum et Barnaban qui loquentes suadebant eis ut permanerent in gratia Dei

And when the synagogue was broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, persuaded them to persevere in the favor of God.

44 sequenti vero sabbato paene universa civitas convenit audire verbum Domini

And, on the following Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together, to hear the word of God.

45 videntes autem turbas Iudaei repleti sunt zelo et contradicebant his quae a Paulo dicebantur blasphemantes

But the Jews, seeing the multitudes, were filled with zeal; and opposed the things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

46 tunc constanter Paulus et Barnabas dixerunt vobis oportebat primum loqui verbum Dei sed quoniam repellitis illud et indignos vos iudicastis aeternae vitae ecce convertimur ad gentes (aiōnios g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas, with great freedom of speech, said, It was necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you thrust it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life; behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 sic enim praecepit nobis Dominus posui te in lumen gentibus ut sis in salutem usque ad extremum terrae

For so the Lord has charged us, saying, "I have set you for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth."

48 audientes autem gentes gavisae sunt et glorificabant verbum Domini et crediderunt quotquot erant praeordinati ad vitam aeternam (aiōnios g166)

And the Gentiles hearing this, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were disposed for eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 disseminabatur autem verbum Domini per universam regionem

And the word of the Lord was published throughout all that region.

50 Iudaei autem concitaverunt religiosas mulieres et honestas et primos civitatis et excitaverunt persecutionem in Paulum et Barnaban et eiecerunt eos de finibus suis

But the Jews stirred up some devout women of considerable rank, and the magistrates of the city; and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories.

And they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

52 discipuli quoque replebantur gaudio et Spiritu Sancto

But the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.
