Now there were in Antioch, distributed through the existing assembly, —prophets and teachers: both Barnabas and Symeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also, Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother, and Saul.

And, as they were publicly ministering unto the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said—Separate forthwith unto me, Barnabas and Saul, unto the work whereunto I have called them.

3 tatastairupavAsaprArthanayOH kRtayOH satOstE tayO rgAtrayO rhastArpaNaM kRtvA tau vyasRjan|

Then, fasting and praying, and laying their hands upon them, they sent them away.

4 tataH paraM tau pavitrENAtmanA prEritau santau silUkiyAnagaram upasthAya samudrapathEna kuprOpadvIpam agacchatAM|

They, therefore, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down unto Seleucia, and, from thence, sailed away unto Cyprus;

5 tataH sAlAmInagaram upasthAya tatra yihUdIyAnAM bhajanabhavanAni gatvEzvarasya kathAM prAcArayatAM; yOhanapi tatsahacarO'bhavat|

And, coming to be in Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; —and they had, John also, as an attendant.

And, passing through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false-prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus;

7 taddEzAdhipa Izvarasya kathAM zrOtuM vAnjchan paulabarNabbau nyamantrayat|

Who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The same, calling for Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God.

8 kintvilumA yaM mAyAvinaM vadanti sa dEzAdhipatiM dharmmamArgAd bahirbhUtaM karttum ayatata|

But Elymas the magician, —for so, when translated, is his name, —withstood them; seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

9 tasmAt zOlO'rthAt paulaH pavitrENAtmanA paripUrNaH san taM mAyAvinaM pratyananyadRSTiM kRtvAkathayat,

But Saul, who is also Paul, filled with Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly at him,

10 hE narakin dharmmadvESin kauTilyaduSkarmmaparipUrNa, tvaM kiM prabhOH satyapathasya viparyyayakaraNAt kadApi na nivarttiSyasE?

Said—O full of all guile, and all recklessness! Son of an adversary! Enemy of all righteousness!—Wilt thou not cease to pervert the straight ways of the Lord?

Now, therefore, lo! the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun, until a fitting time. And, instantly, there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and, going about, he was seeking such as might lead him by the hand.

12 EnAM ghaTanAM dRSTvA sa dEzAdhipatiH prabhUpadEzAd vismitya vizvAsaM kRtavAn|

Then, the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

And, setting sail from Paphos, Paul’s company came into Perga of Pamphylia; but, John, withdrawing from them, returned unto Jerusalem.

14 pazcAt tau pargItO yAtrAM kRtvA pisidiyAdEzasya AntiyakhiyAnagaram upasthAya vizrAmavArE bhajanabhavanaM pravizya samupAvizatAM|

They, however, passing through from Perga, arrived at Antioch of Pisidia; and, going into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, sat down.

And, after the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue-rulers sent unto them, saying—Brethren! if there is in you a word of exhortation unto the people, say on.

16 ataH paula uttiSThan hastEna sagkEtaM kurvvan kathitavAn hE isrAyElIyamanuSyA IzvaraparAyaNAH sarvvE lOkA yUyam avadhaddhaM|

And Paul, standing up, and making a sign with his hand, said—Ye men of Israel! and such as revere God! hearken: —

17 EtESAmisrAyEllOkAnAm IzvarO'smAkaM pUrvvaparuSAn manOnItAn katvA gRhItavAn tatO misari dEzE pravasanakAlE tESAmunnatiM kRtvA tasmAt svIyabAhubalEna tAn bahiH kRtvA samAnayat|

The God of this people Israel, chose our fathers, and, the people, he exalted, by their sojourn in the land of Egypt, —and, with a high arm, brought he them out of it;

18 catvAriMzadvatsarAn yAvacca mahAprAntarE tESAM bharaNaM kRtvA

And, for the time of about forty years, bare with their manners in the desert;

19 kinAndEzAntarvvarttINi saptarAjyAni nAzayitvA guTikApAtEna tESu sarvvadEzESu tEbhyO'dhikAraM dattavAn|

And, overthrowing seven nations in the land of Canaan, gave them their land as an inheritance—about four hundred and fifty years.

20 panjcAzadadhikacatuHzatESu vatsarESu gatESu ca zimUyElbhaviSyadvAdiparyyantaM tESAmupari vicArayitRn niyuktavAn|

And, after these things, he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.

21 taizca rAjnji prArthitE, IzvarO binyAmInO vaMzajAtasya kIzaH putraM zaulaM catvAriMzadvarSaparyyantaM tESAmupari rAjAnaM kRtavAn|

And, from that time, they asked for themselves a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years;

22 pazcAt taM padacyutaM kRtvA yO madiSTakriyAH sarvvAH kariSyati tAdRzaM mama manObhimatam EkaM janaM yizayaH putraM dAyUdaM prAptavAn idaM pramANaM yasmin dAyUdi sa dattavAn taM dAyUdaM tESAmupari rAjatvaM karttum utpAditavAna|

And, setting him aside, raised up, David, unto them for king, —of whom he also said, bearing witness—I have found David, the son of Jesse, —[a man] according to my heart, who will do all my will.

23 tasya svapratizrutasya vAkyasyAnusArENa isrAyEllOkAnAM nimittaM tESAM manuSyANAM vaMzAd Izvara EkaM yIzuM (trAtAram) udapAdayat|

From this man’s seed, hath God, according to promise, brought unto Israel, a saviour—Jesus:

24 tasya prakAzanAt pUrvvaM yOhan isrAyEllOkAnAM sannidhau manaHparAvarttanarUpaM majjanaM prAcArayat|

John, beforehand proclaiming, before the face of his coming in, an immersion of repentance, unto all the people of Israel.

And, as John was fulfilling his course, he was saying—Whom are ye supposing that I am? I, am not he! But lo! there cometh, after me, one of whom I am not worthy, the sandals of his feet, to loosen.

26 hE ibrAhImO vaMzajAtA bhrAtarO hE IzvarabhItAH sarvvalOkA yuSmAn prati paritrANasya kathaiSA prEritA|

Brethren! sons of the race of Abraham, and those who among you revere God, —unto you, hath this word of salvation been sent forth.

For, they who were dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not recognising him, have, by judging him, fulfilled, the very voices of the prophets which every sabbath are being read;

28 prANahananasya kamapi hEtum aprApyApi pIlAtasya nikaTE tasya vadhaM prArthayanta|

And, though no single cause of death they found, yet claimed they of Pilate that he should be slain.

29 tasmin yAH kathA likhitAH santi tadanusArENa karmma sampAdya taM kruzAd avatAryya zmazAnE zAyitavantaH|

And, when they had finished all those things which, concerning him, had been written, taking him down from the tree, they put him in a tomb.

30 kintvIzvaraH zmazAnAt tamudasthApayat,

But, God, raised him from among the dead:

31 punazca gAlIlapradEzAd yirUzAlamanagaraM tEna sArddhaM yE lOkA Agacchan sa bahudinAni tEbhyO darzanaM dattavAn, atasta idAnIM lOkAn prati tasya sAkSiNaH santi|

Who appeared, during many days, unto them who had come up with him from Galilee unto Jerusalem; who, indeed, [now] are his witnesses unto the people.

32 asmAkaM pUrvvapuruSANAM samakSam IzvarO yasmin pratijnjAtavAn yathA, tvaM mE putrOsi cAdya tvAM samutthApitavAnaham|

We, therefore, unto you, bring the good news, as to the promise which, unto our fathers, was made, —

33 idaM yadvacanaM dvitIyagItE likhitamAstE tad yIzOrutthAnEna tESAM santAnA yE vayam asmAkaM sannidhau tEna pratyakSI kRtaM, yuSmAn imaM susaMvAdaM jnjApayAmi|

That God hath fulfilled, the same, for our children, by raising up Jesus: as also, in the second psalm, it is written—My son, art, thou: I, this day, have begotten thee.

34 paramEzvarENa zmazAnAd utthApitaM tadIyaM zarIraM kadApi na kSESyatE, Etasmin sa svayaM kathitavAn yathA dAyUdaM prati pratijnjAtO yO varastamahaM tubhyaM dAsyAmi|

And, in that he raised him from among the dead, no more destined to return unto corruption, on this wise hath he spoken—I will give unto you the faithful lovingkindnesses of David.

35 Etadanyasmin gItE'pi kathitavAn| svakIyaM puNyavantaM tvaM kSayituM na ca dAsyasi|

Wherefore also, in a different [place], he saith—Thou wilt not give thy man of lovingkindness to see corruption.

36 dAyUdA IzvarAbhimatasEvAyai nijAyuSi vyayitE sati sa mahAnidrAM prApya nijaiH pUrvvapuruSaiH saha militaH san akSIyata;

For, David, indeed, unto his own generation having done service, by the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was added unto fathers, and saw corruption;

37 kintu yamIzvaraH zmazAnAd udasthApayat sa nAkSIyata|

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

38 atO hE bhrAtaraH, anEna janEna pApamOcanaM bhavatIti yuSmAn prati pracAritam AstE|

Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, —that, through this man, unto you, remission of sins is declared;

39 phalatO mUsAvyavasthayA yUyaM yEbhyO dOSEbhyO muktA bhavituM na zakSyatha tEbhyaH sarvvadOSEbhya Etasmin janE vizvAsinaH sarvvE muktA bhaviSyantIti yuSmAbhi rjnjAyatAM|

And, from all things from which ye could not, by the law of Moses, be justified, by this man, everyone that believeth, is justified.

Be taking heed, therefore, lest that come upon you which hath been spoken in the prophets—

41 yEyaM kathA bhaviSyadvAdinAM granthESu likhitAstE sAvadhAnA bhavata sa kathA yathA yuSmAn prati na ghaTatE|

See, ye despisers, and marvel, and disappear: in that, a work, am, I, working in your days, —a work, which in nowise will ye believe, though one relate it in full unto you.

42 yihUdIyabhajanabhavanAn nirgatayOstayO rbhinnadEzIyai rvakSyamANA prArthanA kRtA, AgAmini vizrAmavArE'pi kathEyam asmAn prati pracAritA bhavatviti|

And, as they were going out, they kept on beseeching that, on the ensuing sabbath, might be spoken unto them these things.

And, when the congregation was broken up, there followed many of the Jews, and of the devout proselytes, with Paul and Barnabas; who, indeed, in speaking unto them, went on persuading them to abide in the favour of God.

44 paravizrAmavArE nagarasya prAyENa sarvvE lAkA IzvarIyAM kathAM zrOtuM militAH,

And, on the coming sabbath, almost all the city, was gathered together, to hear the word of God.

45 kintu yihUdIyalOkA jananivahaM vilOkya IrSyayA paripUrNAH santO viparItakathAkathanEnEzvaranindayA ca paulEnOktAM kathAM khaNPayituM cESTitavantaH|

But, the Jews, seeing, the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, —and began speaking against the things which, by Paul, were being spoken, defaming them.

And Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said—Unto you, was it necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken: seeing ye are thrusting it from you, and, unworthy, are judging yourselves of the age-abiding life, lo! we turn unto the nations; (aiōnios g166)

47 prabhurasmAn ittham AdiSTavAn yathA, yAvacca jagataH sImAM lOkAnAM trANakAraNAt| mayAnyadEzamadhyE tvaM sthApitO bhUH pradIpavat||

For so hath the Lord commanded us—I have set thee for a light of nations, that thou mayest be for salvation unto the end of the earth.

And they of the nations, hearing [this], began to rejoice, and to be glorifying God, and they believed—as many as had become disposed for life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)

49 itthaM prabhOH kathA sarvvEdEzaM vyApnOt|

And the word of the Lord went on to be carried through the whole country.

But, the Jews, urged on the devout women of the higher class, and the chief men of the city, and roused up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, —and thrust them out from their bounds.

51 ataH kAraNAt tau nijapadadhUlIstESAM prAtikUlyEna pAtayitvEkaniyaM nagaraM gatau|

But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came into Iconium.

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