Actuum Apostolorum 14
1 Factum est autem Iconii, ut simul introirent in synagogam Iudæorum, et loquerentur, ita ut crederet Iudæorum, et Græcorum copiosa multitudo.
The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.
2 Qui vero increduli fuerunt Iudæi, suscitaverunt, et ad iracundiam concitaverunt animas Gentium adversus fratres.
But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.
3 Multo igitur tempore demorati sunt, fiducialiter agentes in Domino, testimonium perhibente verbo gratiæ suæ, dante signa, et prodigia fieri per manus eorum.
Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.
4 Divisa est autem multitudo civitatis: et quidam quidem erant cum Iudæis, quidam vero cum Apostolis.
But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;
5 Cum autem factus esset impetus Gentilium, et Iudæorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent, et lapidarent eos,
and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,
6 intelligentes confugerunt ad civitates Lycaoniæ Lystram, et Derben, et universam in circuitu regionem,
the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district round,
7 et ibi evangelizantes erant.
and there they continued to tell the good news.
8 Et quidam vir Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matris suæ, qui numquam ambulaverat.
In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and had never walked.
9 Hic audivit Paulum loquentem. Qui intuitus eum, et videns quia fidem haberet ut salvus fieret,
This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,
10 dixit magna voce: Surge super pedes tuos rectus. Et exilivit, et ambulabat.
said loudly, ‘Stand upright on your feet.’ The man leaped up, and began walking about,
11 Turbæ autem cum vidissent quod fecerat Paulus, levaverunt vocem suam Lycaonice, dicentes: Quia dii similes facti hominibus, descenderunt ad nos.
and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, ‘The Gods have come down to us in human form.’
12 Et vocabant Barnabam Iovem, Paulum vero Mercurium: quoniam ipse erat dux verbi.
So they called Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul “Hermes,” because he took the lead in speaking;
13 Sacerdos quoque Iovis, qui erat ante civitatem, tauros, et coronas ante ianuas afferens, cum populis volebat sacrificare.
and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
14 Quod ubi audierunt Apostoli, Barnabas et Paulus, conscissis tunicis suis exilierunt in turbas clamantes,
But, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd. ‘Friends, why are you doing this?’ they shouted.
15 et dicentes: Viri, quid hæc facitis? Et nos mortales sumus, similes vobis homines, annunciantes vobis ab his vanis converti ad Deum vivum, qui fecit cælum, et terram, et mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt:
‘We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
16 qui in præteritis generationibus dimisit omnes gentes ingredi vias suas.
In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.
17 Et quidem non sine testimonio semetipsum reliquit benefaciens de cælo, dans pluvias, et tempora fructifera, implens cibo, et lætitia corda eorum.
Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.’
18 Et hæc dicentes, vix sedaverunt turbas ne sibi immolarent.
Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.
19 Supervenerunt autem quidam ab Antiochia, et Iconio Iudæi: et persuasis turbis, lapidantesque Paulum, traxerunt extra civitatem, existimantes eum mortuum esse.
Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.
20 Circumdantibus autem eum discipulis, surgens intravit civitatem, et postera die profectus est cum Barnaba in Derben.
But, when the disciples had gathered round him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Cumque evangelizassent civitati illi, et docuissent multos, reversi sunt Lystram, et Iconium, et Antiochiam,
After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 confirmantes animas discipulorum, exhortantesque ut permanerent in fide: et quoniam per multas tribulationes oportet nos intrare in regnum Dei.
reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.
23 Et cum constituissent illis per singulas ecclesias presbyteros, et orassent cum ieiunationibus, commendaverunt eos Domino, in quem crediderunt.
They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.
24 Transeuntesque Pisidiam, venerunt in Pamphyliam,
Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,
25 et loquentes verbum Domini in Perge, descendeunt in Attaliam:
and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.
26 et inde navigaverunt Antiochiam, unde erant traditi gratiæ Dei in opus, quod compleverunt.
From there they sailed to Antioch – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.
27 Cum autem venissent, et congregassent Ecclesiam, retulerunt quanta fecisset Deus cum illis, et quia aperuisset Gentibus ostium fidei.
After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;
28 Morati sunt autem tempus non modicum cum discipulis.
and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
