Actuum Apostolorum 14

1 Factum est autem Iconii ut simul introirent in synagogam Iudaeorum, et loquerentur, ita ut crederet Iudaeorum, et Graecorum copiosa multitudo.

At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed.

2 Qui vero increduli fuerunt Iudaei, suscitaverunt, et ad iracundiam concitaverunt animas Gentium adversus fratres.

But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up and corrupted the minds of the Gentiles to be 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.

So Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was testifying to the message of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

4 Divisa est autem multitudo civitatis: et quidam quidem erant cum Iudaeis, quidam vero cum Apostolis.

But the population of the city was divided; some were with the Jews, and some were with the apostles.

5 Cum autem factus esset impetus Gentilium, et Iudaeorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent, et lapidarent eos,

And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their rulers, to mistreat them and stone them,

6 intelligentes confugerunt ad civitates Licaoniae Lystram, et Derben, et universam in circuitu regionem,

Paul and Barnabas became aware of it and fled for refuge to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region.

7 et ibi evangelizantes erant.

There they continued to preach the gospel.

8 Et quidam vir Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matris suae, qui numquam ambulaverat.

Now there was a man sitting in Lystra who could not use his feet. He had been lame from his mother's womb and had never walked.

9 Hic audivit Paulum loquentem. Qui intuitus eum, et videns quia fidem haberet ut salvus fieret,

This man listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked at him intently, and when he saw that he had faith to be healed,

10 dixit magna voce: Surge super pedes tuos rectus. Et exilivit, et ambulabat.

he said with a loud voice, “Stand up on yoʋr feet!” So the man leaped 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.

When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up 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.

Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, since he was the one who took the lead in speaking.

13 Sacerdos quoque Iovis, qui erat ante civitatem, tauros, et coronas ante ianuas afferens, cum populis volebat sacrificare.

Then the priest of the shrine of Zeus that was located in front of their city brought bulls and garlands to the city gates, intending to offer sacrifices together with the crowds.

14 Quod ubi audierunt Apostoli, Barnabas et Paulus, conscissis tunicis suis exilierunt in turbas clamantes,

But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about 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:

“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you. We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them.

16 qui in praeteritis generationibus dimisit omnes gentes ingredi vias suas.

In past generations he allowed all the nations to go their own way,

17 Et quidem non sine testimonio semetipsum reliquit benefaciens de caelo, dans pluvias, et tempora fructifera, implens cibo, et laetitia corda eorum.

although he did not leave himself without a witness in that he did good by 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.

Yet even by saying these things, they barely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.

19 Supervenerunt autem quidam ab Antiochia, et Iconio Iudaei: et persuasis turbis, lapidantesque Paulum, traxerunt extra civitatem, existimantes eum mortuum esse.

Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

20 Circumdantibus autem eum discipulis, surgens intravit civitatem, et postera die profectus est cum Barnaba in Derben.

But when the disciples gathered around him, he rose and entered the city. The next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 Cumque evangelizassent civitati illi, et docuissent multos, reversi sunt Lystram, et Iconium, et Antiochiam,

After preaching the gospel in that city and making many disciples, Paul and Barnabas 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.

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and telling them that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.

23 Et cum constituissent illis per singulas ecclesias presbyteros, et orassent cum ieiunationibus, commendaverunt eos Domino, in quem crediderunt.

And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.

24 Transeuntesque Pisidiam, venerunt in Pamphyliam,

After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

25 et loquentes verbum Domini in Pergen, descenderunt in Attaliam:

and when they had spoken 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, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed.

27 Cum autem venissent, et congregassent Ecclesiam, retulerunt quanta fecisset Deus cum illis, et quia aperuisset Gentibus ostium fidei.

After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done through them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 Morati sunt autem tempus non modicum cum discipulis.

And they stayed there with the disciples for some time.
