Actuum Apostolorum 13

1 Erant autem in Ecclesia, quae erat Antiochiae, prophetae, et doctores, in quibus Barnabas, et Simon, qui vocabatur Niger, et Lucius Cyrenensis, et Manahen, qui erat Herodis Tetrarchae collactaneus, et Saulus.

And there were prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch; Barnabas, and Symeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenean, and Manahem, the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 Ministrantibus autem illis Domino, et ieiunantibus, dixit illis Spiritus sanctus: Segregate mihi Saulum, et Barnabam in opus, ad quod assumpsi eos.

And they ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Now separate unto me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

3 Tunc ieiunantes, et orantes, imponentesque eis manus, dimiserunt illos.

Then they having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, sent them away.

4 Et ipsi quidem missi a Spiritu sancto abierunt Seleuciam; et inde navigaverunt Cyprum.

Then they indeed, having been sent away by the Holy Ghost, came down to Seleucia; and thence sailed away to Cyprus.

5 Et cum venissent Salaminam, praedicabant verbum Dei in synagogis Iudaeorum. Habebant autem et Ioannem in ministerio.

And being in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they also had John as their helper.

6 Et cum perambulassent universam insulam usque ad Paphum, invenerunt quendam virum magum pseudoprophetam, Iudaeum, cui nomen erat Barieu,

And having gone through the whole island to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet, to whom was the name of Bar-Jesus:

7 qui erat cum Proconsule Sergio Paulo viro prudente. Hic, accersitis Barnaba, et Saulo, desiderabat audire verbum Dei.

who was with Sergius Paulus, the proconsul, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God;

8 Resistebat autem illis Elymas magus, (sic enim interpretatur nomen eius) quaerens avertere Proconsulem a fide.

but Elymas the magician (for thus his name is interpreted) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

9 Saulus autem, qui et Paulus, repletus Spiritu sancto, intuens in eum,

And Saul, (who is also Paul), being filled with the Holy Ghost, fixing his eyes on him,

10 dixit: O plene omni dolo, et omni fallacia, fili diaboli, inimice omnis iustitiae, non desinis subvertere vias Domini rectas.

said, O thou full of all guile and rascality, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of God?

11 Et nunc ecce manus Domini super te, et eris caecus, non videns solem usque ad tempus. Et confestim cecidit in eum caligo, et tenebrae, et circuiens quaerebat qui ei manum daret.

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell on him a mist and darkness; and going about he was seeking people to lead him by the hand.

12 Tunc Proconsul cum vidisset factum, credidit admirans super doctrina Domini.

Then the deputy, seeing that which took place, believed; being delighted with the teaching of the Lord.

13 Et cum a Papho navigassent Paulus, et qui cum eo erant, venerunt Pergen Pamphyliae. Ioannes autem discedens ab eis, reversus est Ierosolymam.

And those around Paul having sailed from Paphos, came into Perge of Pamphylia: and John having departed from them returned to Jerusalem.

14 Illi vero pertranseuntes Pergen, venerunt Antiochiam Pisidiae: et ingressi synagogam die sabbatorum, sederunt.

And they having come from Perge, arrived into Picidian Antioch, and having come into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.

15 Post lectionem autem legis, et Prophetarum, miserunt principes synagogae ad eos, dicentes: Viri fratres, si quis est in vobis sermo exhortationis ad plebem, dicite.

And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the chief rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if there is any word of consolation to the people in you, speak.

16 Surgens autem Paulus, et manu silentium indicens, ait: Viri Israelitae, et qui timetis Deum, audite:

And Paul, rising up, and beckoning with his hand said; Israelitish men, and those fearing God, hear.

17 Deus plebis Israel elegit patres nostros, et plebem exaltavit cum essent incolae in terra Aegypti, et in brachio excelso eduxit eos ex ea,

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm led them out of it;

18 et per quadraginta annorum tempus mores eorum sustinuit in deserto.

and when he supported them about the time of forty years in the wilderness,

19 Et destruens gentes septem in terra Chanaan, sorte distribuit eis terram eorum,

and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them the inheritance of the land about four hundred and fifty years.

20 quasi post quadringentos et quinquaginta annos: et post haec dedit iudices, usque ad Samuel Prophetam.

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

21 Et exinde postulaverunt regem: et dedit illis Deus Saul filium Cis, virum de tribu Beniamin, annis quadraginta.

And then they asked for a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years;

22 et amoto illo, suscitavit illis David regem: cui testimonium perhibens, dixit: Inveni David filium Iessae, virum secundum cor meum, qui faciet omnes voluntates meas.

and having deposed him, he raised up to them David for a king; to whom witnessing he also said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who will do all my wishes.

23 Huius Deus ex semine secundum promissionem eduxit Israel salvatorem Iesum,

From whose seed according to the promise he led forth Jesus, the Savior, to Israel:

24 praedicante Ioanne ante faciem adventus eius baptismum poenitentiae omni populo Israel.

and John having preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel, before the face of his coming.

25 Cum impleret autem Ioannes cursum suum, dicebat: Quem me arbitramini esse? non sum ego, sed ecce venit post me, cuius non sum dignus calceamenta pedum solvere.

And when John fulfilled his course, he said, What do you consider me to be? I am not he: but, behold, there comes one after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose.

26 Viri fratres, filii generis Abraham, et qui in vobis timent Deum, vobis verbum salutis huius missum est.

Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, unto us the word of this salvation was sent.

27 Qui enim habitabant Ierusalem, et principes eius hunc ignorantes, et voces prophetarum, quae per omne sabbatum leguntur, iudicantes impleverunt,

For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and the rulers, having rejected him, condemning him, have

28 et nullam causam mortis invenientes in eo, petierunt a Pilato, ut interficerent eum.

fulfilled the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath; and having found no cause of death, asked Pilate that he should be executed;

29 Cumque consummassent omnia, quae de eo scripta erant, deponentes eum de ligno, posuerunt eum in monumento.

and when they perfected all the things which had been written concerning him, taking him down from the cross, placed him in a sepulchre.

30 Deus vero suscitavit eum a mortuis tertia die: qui visus est per dies multos his,

And God raised him from the dead;

31 qui simul ascenderant cum eo de Galilaea in Ierusalem: qui usque nunc sunt testes eius ad plebem.

who appeared to those coming up with him to Jerusalem from Galilee many days, who are now his witnesses to the people.

32 Et nos vobis annunciamus eam, quae ad patres nostros repromissio facta est:

And we preach unto you the promise, which was made to the fathers,

33 quoniam hanc Deus adimplevit filiis vestris resuscitans Iesum, sicut et in Psalmo secundo scriptum est: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.

that God has fulfilled this unto our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second Psalm it has been written, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 Quod autem suscitavit eum a mortuis, amplius iam non reversurum in corruptionem, ita dixit: Quia dabo vobis sancta David fidelia.

And because he raised him up from the dead, no longer about to return to corruption, He has thus said, I will give unto you the faithful mercies of David.

35 Ideoque et alias dicit: Non dabis Sanctum tuum videre corruptionem.

Therefore He also says in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

36 David enim in sua generatione cum administrasset, voluntati Dei dormivit: et appositus est ad patres suos, et vidit corruptionem.

For David, indeed having served his own generation according to the will of God, went to sleep, and did see corruption:

37 Quem vero Deus suscitavit a mortuis, non vidit corruptionem.

but he, whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

38 Notum igitur sit vobis viri fratres, quia per hunc vobis remissio peccatorum annunciatur, et ab omnibus, quibus non potuistis in lege Moysi iustificari,

Then let it be known unto you, men brethren, that through this one remission of sins is preached:

39 in hoc omnis, qui credit, iustificatur.

and in him every one believing is justified from all things from which ye were not able to be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Videte ergo ne superveniat vobis quod dictum est in Prophetis:

Then beware, lest the word which has been spoken by the prophets may come upon you;

41 Videte contemptores, et admiramini, et disperdimini: quia opus operor ego in diebus vestris, opus quod non credetis, siquis enarraverit vobis.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: because I work a work in your days, a work which you may not believe, though one may proclaim it to you.

42 Exeuntibus autem illis rogabant ut sequenti sabbato loquerentur sibi verba haec.

And they going out, they continued to entreat them that these words should be spoken to them on the next Sabbath.

43 Cumque dimissa esset synagoga, secuti sunt multi Iudaeorum, et colentium Deum advenarum, Paulum, et Barnabam: qui loquentes suadebant eis ut permanerent in gratia Dei.

And the synagogue having been adjourned, many of the Jews and pious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking with them, continued to persuade them to abide in the grace of God.

44 Sequenti vero sabbato pene universa civitas convenit audire verbum Dei.

And on the following Sabbath almost all the city came together to hear the word of the Lord.

45 Videntes autem turbas Iudaei, repleti sunt zelo, et contradicebant his, quae a Paulo dicebantur, blasphemantes.

And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the word spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

46 Tunc constanter Paulus et Barnabas dixerunt: Vobis oportebat primum loqui verbum Dei: sed quoniam repellitis illud, et indignos vos iudicatis aeternae vitae, ecce convertimur ad Gentes. (aiōnios g166)

And Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: since you have rejected it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold we now turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 sic enim praecepit nobis Dominus: Posui te in lucem Gentium, ut sis in salutem usque ad extremum terrae.

For thus the Lord has commanded us, I have placed thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shalt be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth.

48 Audientes autem Gentes gavisae sunt, et glorificabant verbum Domini: et crediderunt quotquot erant praeordinati ad vitam aeternam. (aiōnios g166)

And the Gentiles hearing, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and so many as had been ordained unto eternal life believed: (aiōnios g166)

49 Disseminabatur autem verbum Domini per universam regionem.

and the word of the Lord was carried throughout all the country.

50 Iudaei autem concitaverunt mulieres religiosas, et honestas, et primos civitatis, et excitaverunt persecutionem in Paulum, et Barnabam: et eiecerunt eos de finibus suis.

And the Jews stirred up the noble godly women, and the first men of the city, and they raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.

51 At illi excusso pulvere pedum in eos, venerunt Iconium.

And having cast off the dust from their feet against them, they came into Iconium.

52 Discipuli quoque replebantur gaudio, et Spiritu sancto.

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