< Acts 13 >

1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
ησαν δε εν αντιοχεια κατα την ουσαν εκκλησιαν προφηται και διδασκαλοι ο τε βαρναβας και συμεων ο καλουμενος νιγερ και λουκιος ο κυρηναιος μαναην τε ηρωδου του τετρααρχου συντροφος και σαυλος
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
λειτουργουντων δε αυτων τω κυριω και νηστευοντων ειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον αφορισατε δη μοι τον βαρναβαν και σαυλον εις το εργον ο προσκεκλημαι αυτους
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
τοτε νηστευσαντες και προσευξαμενοι και επιθεντες τας χειρας αυτοις απελυσαν
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
αυτοι μεν ουν εκπεμφθεντες υπο του αγιου πνευματος κατηλθον εις σελευκειαν εκειθεν τε απεπλευσαν εις κυπρον
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had Yochanan as their attendant.
και γενομενοι εν σαλαμινι κατηγγελλον τον λογον του θεου εν ταις συναγωγαις των ιουδαιων ειχον δε και ιωαννην υπηρετην
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Yeshua,
διελθοντες δε ολην την νησον αχρι παφου ευρον ανδρα τινα μαγον ψευδοπροφητην ιουδαιον ω ονομα {VAR1: βαριησους } {VAR2: βαριησου }
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
ος ην συν τω ανθυπατω σεργιω παυλω ανδρι συνετω ουτος προσκαλεσαμενος βαρναβαν και σαυλον επεζητησεν ακουσαι τον λογον του θεου
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
ανθιστατο δε αυτοις ελυμας ο μαγος ουτως γαρ μεθερμηνευεται το ονομα αυτου ζητων διαστρεψαι τον ανθυπατον απο της πιστεως
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
σαυλος δε ο και παυλος πλησθεις πνευματος αγιου ατενισας εις αυτον
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
ειπεν ω πληρης παντος δολου και πασης ραδιουργιας υιε διαβολου εχθρε πασης δικαιοσυνης ου παυση διαστρεφων τας οδους {VAR1: του } {VAR2: [του] } κυριου τας ευθειας
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
και νυν ιδου χειρ κυριου επι σε και εση τυφλος μη βλεπων τον ηλιον αχρι καιρου παραχρημα {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: τε } επεσεν επ αυτον αχλυς και σκοτος και περιαγων εζητει χειραγωγους
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
τοτε ιδων ο ανθυπατος το γεγονος επιστευσεν εκπλησσομενος επι τη διδαχη του κυριου
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. Yochanan departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
αναχθεντες δε απο της παφου οι περι παυλον ηλθον εις περγην της παμφυλιας ιωαννης δε αποχωρησας απ αυτων υπεστρεψεν εις ιεροσολυμα
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
αυτοι δε διελθοντες απο της περγης παρεγενοντο εις αντιοχειαν την πισιδιαν και {VAR1: ελθοντες } {VAR2: (εισελθοντες) } εις την συναγωγην τη ημερα των σαββατων εκαθισαν
15 After the reading of the Torah and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
μετα δε την αναγνωσιν του νομου και των προφητων απεστειλαν οι αρχισυναγωγοι προς αυτους λεγοντες ανδρες αδελφοι ει τις εστιν εν υμιν λογος παρακλησεως προς τον λαον λεγετε
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
αναστας δε παυλος και κατασεισας τη χειρι ειπεν ανδρες ισραηλιται και οι φοβουμενοι τον θεον ακουσατε
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
ο θεος του λαου τουτου ισραηλ εξελεξατο τους πατερας ημων και τον λαον υψωσεν εν τη παροικια εν γη αιγυπτου και μετα βραχιονος υψηλου εξηγαγεν αυτους εξ αυτης
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
και ως τεσσερακονταετη χρονον ετροποφορησεν αυτους εν τη ερημω
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred and fifty years.
{VAR2: και } καθελων εθνη επτα εν γη χανααν κατεκληρονομησεν την γην αυτων
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
ως ετεσιν τετρακοσιοις και πεντηκοντα και μετα ταυτα εδωκεν κριτας εως σαμουηλ {VAR2: [του] } προφητου
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
κακειθεν ητησαντο βασιλεα και εδωκεν αυτοις ο θεος τον σαουλ υιον κις ανδρα εκ φυλης βενιαμιν ετη τεσσερακοντα
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
και μεταστησας αυτον ηγειρεν τον δαυιδ αυτοις εις βασιλεα ω και ειπεν μαρτυρησας ευρον δαυιδ τον του ιεσσαι {VAR1: [ανδρα] } {VAR2: ανδρα } κατα την καρδιαν μου ος ποιησει παντα τα θεληματα μου
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
τουτου ο θεος απο του σπερματος κατ επαγγελιαν ηγαγεν τω ισραηλ σωτηρα ιησουν
24 before his coming, when Yochanan had first preached the immersion of repentance to Israel.
προκηρυξαντος ιωαννου προ προσωπου της εισοδου αυτου βαπτισμα μετανοιας παντι τω λαω ισραηλ
25 As Yochanan was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
ως δε επληρου ιωαννης τον δρομον ελεγεν τι εμε υπονοειτε ειναι ουκ ειμι εγω αλλ ιδου ερχεται μετ εμε ου ουκ ειμι αξιος το υποδημα των ποδων λυσαι
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those amongst you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
ανδρες αδελφοι υιοι γενους αβρααμ και οι εν υμιν φοβουμενοι τον θεον ημιν ο λογος της σωτηριας ταυτης εξαπεσταλη
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
οι γαρ κατοικουντες εν ιερουσαλημ και οι αρχοντες αυτων τουτον αγνοησαντες και τας φωνας των προφητων τας κατα παν σαββατον αναγινωσκομενας κριναντες επληρωσαν
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
και μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου ευροντες ητησαντο πιλατον αναιρεθηναι αυτον
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
ως δε ετελεσαν παντα τα περι αυτου γεγραμμενα καθελοντες απο του ξυλου εθηκαν εις μνημειον
30 But God raised him from the dead,
ο δε θεος ηγειρεν αυτον εκ νεκρων
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
ος ωφθη επι ημερας πλειους τοις συναναβασιν αυτω απο της γαλιλαιας εις ιερουσαλημ οιτινες [νυν] εισιν μαρτυρες αυτου προς τον λαον
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
και ημεις υμας ευαγγελιζομεθα την προς τους πατερας επαγγελιαν γενομενην
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Yeshua. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
οτι ταυτην ο θεος εκπεπληρωκεν τοις τεκνοις {VAR1: ημων } {VAR2: [αυτων] ημιν } αναστησας ιησουν ως και εν τω ψαλμω γεγραπται τω δευτερω υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
οτι δε ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων μηκετι μελλοντα υποστρεφειν εις διαφθοραν ουτως ειρηκεν οτι δωσω υμιν τα οσια δαυιδ τα πιστα
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
διοτι και εν ετερω λεγει ου δωσεις τον οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
δαυιδ μεν γαρ ιδια γενεα υπηρετησας τη του θεου βουλη εκοιμηθη και προσετεθη προς τους πατερας αυτου και ειδεν διαφθοραν
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
ον δε ο θεος ηγειρεν ουκ ειδεν διαφθοραν
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν ανδρες αδελφοι οτι δια τουτου υμιν αφεσις αμαρτιων καταγγελλεται
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Torah of Moses.
{VAR1: και } {VAR2: [και] } απο παντων ων ουκ ηδυνηθητε εν νομω μωυσεως δικαιωθηναι εν τουτω πας ο πιστευων δικαιουται
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the Prophets:
βλεπετε ουν μη επελθη το ειρημενον εν τοις προφηταις
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
ιδετε οι καταφρονηται και θαυμασατε και αφανισθητε οτι εργον εργαζομαι εγω εν ταις ημεραις υμων εργον ο ου μη πιστευσητε εαν τις εκδιηγηται υμιν
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
εξιοντων δε αυτων παρεκαλουν εις το μεταξυ σαββατον λαληθηναι αυτοις τα ρηματα ταυτα
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
λυθεισης δε της συναγωγης ηκολουθησαν πολλοι των ιουδαιων και των σεβομενων προσηλυτων τω παυλω και τω βαρναβα οιτινες προσλαλουντες αυτοις επειθον αυτους προσμενειν τη χαριτι του θεου
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
τω δε ερχομενω σαββατω σχεδον πασα η πολις συνηχθη ακουσαι τον λογον του {VAR1: θεου } {VAR2: κυριου }
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
ιδοντες δε οι ιουδαιοι τους οχλους επλησθησαν ζηλου και αντελεγον τοις υπο παυλου λαλουμενοις βλασφημουντες
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
παρρησιασαμενοι τε ο παυλος και ο βαρναβας ειπαν υμιν ην αναγκαιον πρωτον λαληθηναι τον λογον του θεου επειδη απωθεισθε αυτον και ουκ αξιους κρινετε εαυτους της αιωνιου ζωης ιδου στρεφομεθα εις τα εθνη (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
ουτως γαρ εντεταλται ημιν ο κυριος τεθεικα σε εις φως εθνων του ειναι σε εις σωτηριαν εως εσχατου της γης
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
ακουοντα δε τα εθνη εχαιρον και εδοξαζον τον λογον του {VAR1: θεου } {VAR2: κυριου } και επιστευσαν οσοι ησαν τεταγμενοι εις ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
διεφερετο δε ο λογος του κυριου δι ολης της χωρας
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
οι δε ιουδαιοι παρωτρυναν τας σεβομενας γυναικας τας ευσχημονας και τους πρωτους της πολεως και επηγειραν διωγμον επι τον παυλον και βαρναβαν και εξεβαλον αυτους απο των οριων αυτων
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
οι δε εκτιναξαμενοι τον κονιορτον των ποδων επ αυτους ηλθον εις ικονιον
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
οι τε μαθηται επληρουντο χαρας και πνευματος αγιου
