Acts 13

1 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.

Now there were in the assembly that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 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.

As they ministered to YHWH, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

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

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

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

So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

5 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 when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of YHWH in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

6 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;

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar- Yahushua:

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

Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of Elohim.

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

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

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

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him,

10 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?

And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of YHWH?

11 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.

And now, behold, the hand of YHWH is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

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

Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of Yahushua.

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

Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

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

But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.

15 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.

And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

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

Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear Elohim, give audience.

17 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;

The Elohim of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

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

And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

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

And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

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

And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

21 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;

And afterward they desired a king: and YHWH gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

22 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.

And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

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

Of this man's seed hath YHWH according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Yahushua:

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

When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 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.

And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

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

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth YHWH, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 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;

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

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

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29 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.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 But, God, raised him from among the dead:

But YHWH raised him from the dead:

31 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.

And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

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

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33 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.

YHWH hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Yahushua again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 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.

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

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

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36 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;

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of YHWH, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

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

But he, whom YHWH raised again, saw no corruption.

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

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

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

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

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

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41 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.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42 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 Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

43 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.

Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the favour of YHWH.

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

And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of YHWH.

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

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

46 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)

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of YHWH should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 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.

For so hath YHWH commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

48 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)

And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of YHWH: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

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

And the word of YHWH was published throughout all the region.

50 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.

But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

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

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

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

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