Actuum Apostolorum 14
1 Factum est autem Iconii ut simul introirent in synagogam Iudaeorum, et loquerentur, ita ut crederet Iudaeorum, et Graecorum copiosa multitudo.
Now it happened in Iconium that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and they spoke to such effect that a large number of both Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Qui vero increduli fuerunt Iudaei, suscitaverunt, et ad iracundiam concitaverunt animas Gentium adversus fratres.
But the disobedient Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3 Multo igitur tempore demorati sunt, fiducialiter agentes in Domino, testimonium perhibente verbo gratiae suae, dante signa, et prodigia fieri per manus eorum.
Even so they stayed there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to take place by their hands.
4 Divisa est autem multitudo civitatis: et quidam quidem erant cum Iudaeis, quidam vero cum Apostolis.
Well the population of the city became divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.
5 Cum autem factus esset impetus Gentilium, et Iudaeorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent, et lapidarent eos,
But when a plot was hatched by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat and stone them,
6 intelligentes confugerunt ad civitates Licaoniae Lystram, et Derben, et universam in circuitu regionem,
they became aware of it and escaped to the cities of Lycaonia—Lystra, Derbe and the surrounding area—
7 et ibi evangelizantes erant.
where they continued to preach the Gospel.
8 Et quidam vir Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matris suae, qui numquam ambulaverat.
Well in Lystra a certain man with helpless feet was sitting (lame from his mother's womb, who 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; who looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 dixit magna voce: Surge super pedes tuos rectus. Et exilivit, et ambulabat.
said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk!
11 Turbae autem cum vidissent quod fecerat Paulus, levaverunt vocem suam Licaonice dicentes: Dii similes facti hominibus, descenderunt ad nos.
Now when the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12 Et vocabant Barnabam Iovem, Paulum vero Mercurium: quoniam ipse erat dux verbi.
And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Sacerdos quoque Iovis, qui erat ante civitatem, tauros, et coronas ante ianuas afferens, cum populis volebat sacrificare.
Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, intending to make a sacrifice, along with the crowd.
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 into the crowd, crying out
15 et dicentes: Viri, quid haec facitis? et nos mortales sumus, similes vobis homines, annunciantes vobis ab his vanis converti ad Deum vivum, qui fecit caelum, et terram, et mare, et omnia quae in eis sunt:
and saying: “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, giving you good news, telling you to turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them;
16 qui in praeteritis generationibus dimisit omnes gentes ingredi vias suas.
who in the former generations allowed all the ethnic nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Et quidem non sine testimonio semetipsum reliquit benefaciens de caelo, dans pluvias, et tempora fructifera, implens cibo, et laetitia corda eorum.
Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Et haec dicentes, vix sedaverunt turbas ne sibi immolarent.
Even saying these things, they barely stopped the crowd from sacrificing to them.
19 Supervenerunt autem quidam ab Antiochia, et Iconio Iudaei: et persuasis turbis, lapidantesque Paulum, traxerunt extra civitatem, existimantes eum mortuum esse.
Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came, and having persuaded the crowd and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to have died.
20 Circumdantibus autem eum discipulis, surgens intravit civitatem, et postera die profectus est cum Barnaba in Derben.
But as the disciples stood around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Cumque evangelizassent civitati illi, et docuissent multos, reversi sunt Lystram, et Iconium, et Antiochiam,
When they had evangelized that city and discipled a good number, they returned to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,
22 confirmantes animas discipulorum, exhortantesque ut permanerent in fide: et quoniam per multas tribulationes oportet nos intrare in regnum Dei.
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”
23 Et cum constituissent illis per singulas ecclesias presbyteros, et orassent cum ieiunationibus, commendaverunt eos Domino, in quem crediderunt.
When they had appointed elders for them in every congregation, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord into whom they had believed.
24 Transeuntesque Pisidiam, venerunt in Pamphyliam,
After going through Pisidia, they came to Pamphilia.
25 et loquentes verbum Domini in Pergen, descenderunt in Attaliam:
When they had declared the Word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 et inde navigaverunt Antiochiam, unde erant traditi gratiae Dei in opus, quod compleverunt.
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed.
27 Cum autem venissent, et congregassent Ecclesiam, retulerunt quanta fecisset Deus cum illis, et quia aperuisset Gentibus ostium fidei.
So upon arriving and gathering the congregation, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Morati sunt autem tempus non modicum cum discipulis.
And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
