Дії 14
1 І трапилось, що в Іконі́ї вкупі ввійшли вони до синагоги юдейської, і промовили так, що бе́зліч юдеїв й огре́чених увірували.
At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].
2 Невірні ж юдеї підбу́рили та роз'ятри́ли душі поган на братів.
But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].
3 Та проте довгий час пробули́ вони там, промовляючи мужньо про Господа, що свідо́цтво давав слову благода́ті Своєї і робив, щоб знаме́на та чу́да чинились їхніми руками.
So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.
4 А в місті наро́д поділився, — і пристали одні до юдеїв, а інші тримались апо́столів.
The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.
5 Коли ж кинулися ті погани й юдеї з своїми старши́ми, щоб зневажити їх та камінням побити,
Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.
6 то, дізнавшись про це, вони повтікали до міст лікао́нських, до Лі́стри та Де́рвії, та в околиці їхні,
But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].
7 і Єва́нгелію там звіща́ли.
[While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
8 А в Лі́стрі сидів один чоловік, безвладний на ноги, що кривий був з утроби своєї матері, і ніко́ли ходити не міг.
[Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.
9 Він слухав, як Павло́ говорив, який пильно на нього споглянув, і побачив, що має він віру вздоровленим бути,
He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.
10 то голосом гучни́м промовив: „Устань просто на ноги свої!“А той скочив, і ходити почав.
So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
11 А люди, побачивши, що́ Павло́ вчинив, підне́сли свій голос, говорячи по-лікао́нському: „Боги людям вподі́бнились, та до нас ось зійшли!“
When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”
12 І Варнаву вони звали Зе́всом, а Герме́сом Павла, бо він провід мав у слові.
They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.
13 А жрець Зе́вса, що святиня його перед містом була, припрова́див бики та вінки до воріт, та й з наро́дом прино́сити жертву хотів.
Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.
14 Та коли про це почули апо́столи Варнава й Павло, то роздерли одежі свої, та й кинулися між наро́д, кричачи
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,
15 та говорячи: „Що́ це робите, люди? Таж і ми такі самі смерте́льні, подібні вам люди, і благовістимо́ вам, — від оцих ось марно́т наверну́тись до Бога Живого, що створив небо й землю, і море, і все, що в них є.
“Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.
16 За минулих родів попустив Він усім народам, щоб ходили стежка́ми своїми,
In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].
17 але́ не зоставив Себе Він без свідчення, добро чинячи: подавав нам із неба дощі та врожайні часи́, та напо́внював їжею й радощами серця наші“.
But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”
18 І, говорячи це, зале́две спинили наро́д не приносити їм же́ртов.
The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].
19 А з Антіохі́ї та з Іконі́ї посхо́дились юдеї, і, підбуривши на́товп, камінням побили Павла, та й за місто геть виволікли, мавши думку, що вмер він.
[However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].
20 Коли ж учні його оточили, то він устав, та й вернувся до міста. А наступного дня він відбув із Варнавою в Де́рвію.
They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.
21 І, як звістили Єва́нгелію тому містові, і учнів багато придбали, вони повернулися в Лі́стру, та в Іконі́ю, та в Антіохі́ю,
They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].
22 душі учнів зміцняючи, просячи перебувати в вірі, та навча́ючи, що через великі у́тиски треба нам вхо́дити у Боже Царство.
[In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”
23 І рукопокла́ли їм пресві́терів по Церквах, і помолилися з по́стом та й їх передали Господе́ві, в Якого ввірували.
Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].
24 Як вони ж перейшли Пісіді́ю, прибули в Памфілі́ю;
After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
25 і, звістивши Господнє Слово в Пергі́ї, вони в Атталі́ю ввійшли,
[In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.
26 а звідти поплинули в Антіохі́ю, звідки були благода́ті Божій віддані на ді́ло, що його й закінчи́ли.
There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.
27 А прибувши та скликавши Церкву, вони розповіли, як багато вчинив Бог із ними, і що відкрив двері віри поганам.
When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].
28 І перебува́ли вони немали́й час із учнями.
Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
