Acts 14

1 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.

And they came and entered into the synagogue of the Jihudoyee, and so spake with them as that many believed of Jihudoyee and of Javanoyee.

2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

But Jihudoyee, of those who were not persuaded, excited the Gentiles to ill-treat the brethren.

3 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.

But they much time were there, and openly discoursed concerning the Lord; and He testified of the word of his grace by the signs and the wonders which he wrought by their hands.

4 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.

And all the society of the city was divided: of them some were with the Jihudoyee, and of them (some) adhered to the apostles.

5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

But there was made a movement by the Gentiles and by the Jihudoyee and their chiefs to maltreat them, and to crush them with stones.

6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

And when they knew, they passed away, and escaped to the cities of Lykania, Lystra, and Derbe, and the villages which surround them,

7 There they preached the Good News.

and there evangelized.

8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

AND a certain man dwelt in the city of Lystra who was afflicted in his feet, lame from the womb of his mother, (and) who had never walked.

9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

This heard Paulos discourse. And when Paulos saw him, and knew that there was faith in him to be saved,

10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

he said to him with a high voice, To thee I say, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, Stand upon thy feet.

11 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!”

And leaping, he stood and walked. And the assembly of the people, when they saw what Paulos had done, lifted up their voice in the language of the country, and said, Gods in the likeness of men have come down unto us.

12 They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.

And they named Bar Naba, lord of the gods; and Paulos, Hermis, because he was foremost in discourse.

13 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.

And the priest of the lord of the gods, who was without the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates of the court of the place where they dwelt, and willed to sacrifice to them.

14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,

But Bar Naba and Paulos, when they heard, rent their garments, and sprang up, and came out to the crowd. And they cried,

15 “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;

and said, Men, what do you? We also are children of men liable to sufferings like you, (and) who preach to you that from these vanities you should turn unto Aloha the living, who made heaven and earth, and the seas, and all that is in them:

16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

who in former generations left all nations to walk in ways of their own;

17 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.”

yet leaving not himself without witness, while he did them good from heaven, and sent down rain, and multiplied the fruits in their times, and filled with food and gladness their hearts.

18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

And when these they had said, they scarcely restrained the people that some one should not sacrifice to them.

19 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.

But there came thither Jihudoyee from Ikanon and from Antiokia, and stirred up against them the people; and they stoned Paulos, and dragged him out of the city, because they thought that he was dead.

20 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.

And the disciples gathered to him, and, arising, he entered the city. AND the day after he went forth from thence with Bar Naba, and came to Derbe the city.

21 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

And when they had preached to the sons of the city, they discipled many. And they returned and came to Lystra the city, and to Ikanon, and to Antiokia,

22 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.

confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to persevere in the faith. And they said to them, that through much tribulation it behoveth to enter the kingdom of Aloha.

23 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.

And they constituted for them in all the churches presbyters, having fasted with them and prayed, and commended them to our Lord in whom they had believed.

24 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

And when they had gone through the country of Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

and when they had preached in the city Perga the word of the Lord, they went down to Atalia,

26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

and from thence voyaged by sea and came to Antiokia, because from thence they had been commended to the grace of the Lord for the work which they had accomplished.

27 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.

And when all the church had convened, they recounted every thing which Aloha had done with them, and that he had opened the door of the faith unto the Gentiles.

28 They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.

And much time were they there with the disciples.
