Acts 13

1Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

ησαν δε τινες εν αντιοχεια κατα την ουσαν εκκλησιαν προφηται και διδασκαλοι, ο τε βαρναβας και συμεων ο επικαλουμενος νιγερ, και λουκιος ο κυρηναιος, μαναην τε ηρωδου του τετραρχου συντροφος και σαυλος.

2As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, 'Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul 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 τον σαυλον εις το εργον ο προσκεκλημαι αυτους.

3Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.

τοτε νηστευσαντες και προσευξαμενοι και επιθεντες αυτοις τας χειρας απελυσαν.

4So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

ουτοι μεν ουν εκπεμφθεντες υπο του πνευματος του αγιου κατηλθον εις την σελευκειαν, εκειθεν τε απεπλευσαν εις την κυπρον,

5And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant.

και γενομενοι εν σαλαμινι κατηγγελλον τον λογον του θεου εν ταις συναγωγαις των ιουδαιων· ειχον δε και ιωαννην υπηρετην.

6Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,

διελθοντες δε την νησον αχρι παφου ευρον τινα μαγον ψευδοπροφητην ιουδαιον ω ονομα βαριησους,

7who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for 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·

8But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) 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.

9Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him

σαυλος δε, ο και παυλος, πλησθεις πνευματος αγιου και ατενισας προς αυτον

10and said, 'O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

ειπεν· ω πληρης παντος δολου και πασης ραδιουργιας, υιε διαβολου, εχθρε πασης δικαιοσυνης, ου παυση διαστρεφων τας οδους κυριου τας ευθειας;

11And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for time.'

και νυν ιδου χειρ κυριου επι σε, και εση τυφλος μη βλεπων τον ηλιον αχρι καιρου. παραχρημα δε επεσεν επ αυτον αχλυς και σκοτος, και περιαγων εζητει χειραγωγους.

12And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

τοτε ιδων ο ανθυπατος το γεγονος επιστευσεν, εκπλησσομενος επι τη διδαχη του κυριου.

13Now when Paul and his party set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; and John, departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.

αναχθεντες δε απο της παφου οι περι τον παυλον ηλθον εις περγην της παμφυλιας· ιωαννης δε αποχωρησας απ αυτων υπεστρεψεν εις ιεροσολυμα.

14But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

αυτοι δε διελθοντες απο της περγης παρεγενοντο εις αντιοχειαν της πισιδιας, και εισελθοντες εις την συναγωγην τη ημερα των σαββατων εκαθισαν.

15And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, 'Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.'

μετα δε την αναγνωσιν του νομου και των προφητων απεστειλαν οι αρχισυναγωγοι προς αυτους λεγοντες· ανδρες αδελφοι, ει εστιν λογος εν υμιν παρακλησεως προς τον λαον, λεγετε.

16Then Paul stood up, and motioning 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.

17The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He brought them out of it.

ο θεος του λαου τουτου [ισραηλ] εξελεξατο τους πατερας ημων, και τον λαον υψωσεν εν τη παροικια εν γη αιγυπτω, και μετα βραχιονος υψηλου εξηγαγεν αυτους εξ αυτης,

18Now for a time of about forty years He put up with their ways in the wilderness.

και ως τεσσαρακονταετη χρονον ετροποφορησεν αυτους εν τη ερημω,

19And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land to them by allotment.

και καθελων εθνη επτα εν γη χανααν κατεκληρονομησεν αυτοις την γην αυτων.

20'After that He gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

και μετα ταυτα ως ετεσιν τετρακοσιοις και πεντηκοντα εδωκεν κριτας εως σαμουηλ του προφητου.

21And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave 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 τεσσαρακοντα·

22And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'

και μεταστησας αυτον ηγειρεν αυτοις τον δαυιδ εις βασιλεα, ω και ειπεν μαρτυρησας· ευρον δαυιδ τον του ιεσσαι, ανδρα κατα την καρδιαν μου, ος ποιησει παντα τα θεληματα μου.

23From this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Savior—Jesus—

τουτου ο θεος απο του σπερματος κατ επαγγελιαν ηγαγεν τω ισραηλ σωτηριαν,

24after John had first preached, before His coming, the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

προκηρυξαντος ιωαννου προ προσωπου της εισοδου αυτου βαπτισμα μετανοιας παντι τω λαω ισραηλ.

25And as John was finishing his course, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'

ως δε επληρου ο ιωαννης τον δρομον, ελεγεν· τινα με υπονοειτε ειναι; ουκ ειμι εγω, αλλ ιδου ερχεται μετ εμε ου ουκ ειμι αξιος το υποδημα των ποδων λυσαι.

26'Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.

ανδρες αδελφοι, υιοι γενους αβρααμ και οι εν υμιν φοβουμενοι τον θεον, υμιν ο λογος της σωτηριας ταυτης απεσταλη.

27For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor even the voices of the Prophets which are read every Sabbath, have fulfilled them in 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,

28And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.

και μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου ευροντες ητησαντο πιλατον αναιρεθηναι αυτον.

29Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning 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.

30But God raised Him from the dead.

ο δε θεος ηγειρεν αυτον εκ νεκρων·

31He 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 εισιν μαρτυρες αυτου προς τον λαον.

32And we declare to you glad tidings—that promise which was made to the fathers.

και ημεις υμας ευαγγελιζομεθα την προς τους πατερας επαγγελιαν γενομενην, οτι ταυτην ο θεος εκπεπληρωκεν τοις τεκνοις αυτων, ημιν, αναστησας ιησουν,

33God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'

ως και εν τω ψαλμω τω δευτερω γεγραπται· υιος μου ει συ, εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε.

34And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: 'I will give you the sure mercies of David.'

οτι δε ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων μηκετι μελλοντα υποστρεφειν εις διαφθοραν, ουτως ειρηκεν, οτι δωσω υμιν τα οσια δαυιδ τα πιστα.

35Therefore He also says in another Psalm: 'You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.'

διο και εν ετερω λεγει· ου δωσεις τον οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν.

36'For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

δαυιδ μεν γαρ ιδια γενεα υπηρετησας τη του θεου βουλη εκοιμηθη και προσετεθη προς τους πατερας αυτου και ειδεν διαφθοραν·

37but He whom God raised up saw no corruption.

ον δε ο θεος ηγειρεν, ουκ ειδεν διαφθοραν.

38Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins;

γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν, ανδρες αδελφοι, οτι δια τουτου υμιν αφεσις αμαρτιων καταγγελλεται,

39and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

και απο παντων ων ουκ ηδυνηθητε εν τω νομω μωυσεως δικαιωθηναι, εν τουτω πας ο πιστευων δικαιουται.

40Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:

βλεπετε ουν μη επελθη εφ υμας το ειρημενον εν τοις προφηταις·

41'Behold, you despisers, Marvel and perish!

ιδετε, οι καταφρονηται, και θαυμασατε και αφανισθητε, οτι εργον εγω εργαζομαι εν ταις ημεραις υμων, [εργον] ω ου μη πιστευσητε εαν τις εκδιηγηται υμιν.

42For I work a work in your days, A work which you will by no means believe, Though one were to declare it to you.' 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 εκ της συναγωγης [των ιουδαιων] παρεκαλουν τα εθνη εις το μεταξυ σαββατον λαληθηναι αυτοις τα ρηματα ταυτα.

43Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded 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.

44On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God.

τω τε ερχομενω σαββατω σχεδον πασα η πολις συνηχθη ακουσαι τον λογον του θεου.

45But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.

ιδοντες δε οι ιουδαιοι τους οχλους επλησθησαν ζηλου και αντελεγον τοις υπο του παυλου λεγομενοις αντιλεγοντες και βλασφημουντες.

46Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, 'It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

παρρησιασαμενοι δε ο παυλος και ο βαρναβας ειπον· υμιν ην αναγκαιον πρωτον λαληθηναι τον λογον του θεου· επειδη δε απωθεισθε αυτον και ουκ αξιους κρινετε εαυτους της αιωνιου ζωης, ιδου στρεφομεθα εις τα εθνη.

47For so the Lord has commanded us: 'I have set you as a light to the Gentiles,

ουτως γαρ εντεταλται ημιν ο κυριος· τεθεικα σε εις φως εθνων του ειναι σε εις σωτηριαν εως εσχατου της γης.

48Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

ακουοντα δε τα εθνη εχαιρον και εδεξαντο τον λογον του κυριου, και επιστευσαν οσοι ησαν τεταγμενοι εις ζωην αιωνιον·

49And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.

διεφερετο δε ο λογος του κυριου δι ολης της χωρας.

50But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.

οι δε ιουδαιοι παρωτρυναν τας σεβομενας γυναικας και τας ευσχημονας και τους πρωτους της πολεως και επηγειραν διωγμον επι τον παυλον και τον βαρναβαν, και εξεβαλον αυτους απο των οριων αυτων.

51But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

οι δε εκτιναξαμενοι τον κονιορτον των ποδων αυτων επ αυτους ηλθον εις ικονιον.

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

οι δε μαθηται επληρουντο χαρας και πνευματος αγιου.
