Acts of the Apostles 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.	1 Ησαν δε εν Αντιοχεια εν τη υπαρχουση εκκλησια προφηται τινες και διδασκαλοι, ο Βαρναβας και Συμεων ο καλουμενος Νιγερ, και Λουκιος ο Κυρηναιος, και Μαναην ο συνανατραφεις μετα του Ηρωδου του τετραρχου, και ο Σαυλος.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."	2 Και ενω υπηρετουν εις τον Κυριον και ενηστευον, ειπε το Πνευμα το Αγιον? Χωρισατε εις εμε τον Βαρναβαν και τον Σαυλον δια το εργον, εις το οποιον προσεκαλεσα αυτους.
3 Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off.	3 Τοτε αφου ενηστευσαν και προσευχηθησαν και επεθεσαν τας χειρας επ' αυτους, απεστειλαν.
4 So they, sent forth by the holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus.	4 Ουτοι λοιπον πεμφθεντες υπο του Πνευματος του Αγιου, κατεβησαν εις την Σελευκειαν και εκειθεν απεπλευσαν εις την Κυπρον,
5 When they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had John also as their assistant.	5 και οτε ηλθον εις την Σαλαμινα, εκηρυττον τον λογον του Θεου εν ταις συναγωγαις των Ιουδαιων? ειχον δε και τον Ιωαννην υπηρετην.
6 When they had traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, they met a magician named Bar-Jesus who was a Jewish false prophet.	6 Και αφου διηλθον την νησον μεχρι της Παφου, ευρον τινα μαγον ψευδοπροφητην Ιουδαιον ονομαζομενον Βαριησουν,
7 He was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who had summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God.	7 οστις ητο μετα του ανθυπατου Σεργιου Παυλου, ανδρος συνετου. Ουτος προσκαλεσας τον Βαρναβαν και Σαυλον, εζητησε να ακουση τον λογον του Θεου?
8 But Elymas the magician (for that is what his name means) opposed them in an attempt to turn the proconsul away from the faith.	8 ανθιστατο δε εις αυτους Ελυμας ο μαγος, διοτι ουτω μεθερμηνευεται το ονομα αυτου, ζητων να αποτρεψη τον ανθυπατον απο της πιστεως.
9 But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the holy Spirit, looked intently at him	9 Πλην ο Σαυλος, ο και Παυλος, πλησθεις Πνευματος Αγιου και ατενισας εις αυτον,
10 and said, "You son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right, full of every sort of deceit and fraud. Will you not stop twisting the straight paths of (the) Lord?	10 ειπεν? Ω πληρης παντος δολου και πασης ραδιουργιας, υιε του διαβολου, εχθρε πασης δικαιοσυνης, δεν θελεις παυσει διαστρεφων τας ευθειας οδους του Κυριου;
11 Even now the hand of the Lord is upon you. You will be blind, and unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a dark mist fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand.	11 Και τωρα ιδου, χειρ του Κυριου ειναι κατα σου, και θελεις εισθαι τυφλος, μη βλεπων τον ηλιον μεχρι καιρου. Και παρευθυς επεπεσεν επ' αυτον αμαυρωσις και σκοτος, και περιστρεφομενος εζητει χειραγωγους.
12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he came to believe, for he was astonished by the teaching about the Lord.	12 Τοτε ιδων ο ανθυπατος το γεγονος επιστευσεν, εκπληττομενος εις την διδαχην του Κυριου.
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions set sail and arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.	13 Αποπλευσαντες δε απο της Παφου ο Παυλος και οι περι αυτον ηλθον εις την Περγην της Παμφυλιας? ο δε Ιωαννης, χωρισθεις απ' αυτων, υπεστρεψεν εις τα Ιεροσολυμα.
14 They continued on from Perga and reached Antioch in Pisidia. On the sabbath they entered (into) the synagogue and took their seats.	14 Αυτοι δε περασαντες απο της Περγης, εφθασαν εις Αντιοχειαν της Πισιδιας, και εισελθοντες εις την συναγωγην τη ημερα του σαββατου εκαθησαν.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue officials sent word to them, "My brothers, if one of you has a word of exhortation for the people, please speak."	15 Και μετα την αναγνωσιν του νομου και των προφητων απεστειλαν εις αυτους οι αρχισυναγωγοι, λεγοντες? Ανδρες αδελφοι, εαν εχητε λογον τινα προτροπης εις τον λαον, λεγετε.
16 So Paul got up, motioned with his hand, and said, "Fellow Israelites and you others who are God-fearing, listen.	16 Σηκωθεις δε ο Παυλος και σεισας την χειρα, ειπεν? Ανδρες Ισραηλιται και οι φοβουμενοι τον Θεον, ακουσατε.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt. With uplifted arm he led them out of it	17 Ο Θεος του λαου τουτου Ισραηλ εξελεξε τους πατερας ημων και υψωσε τον λαον παροικουντα εν γη Αιγυπτου, και μετα βραχιονος υψηλου εξηγαγεν αυτους εξ αυτης,
18 and for about forty years he put up with them in the desert.	18 και εως τεσσαρακοντα ετη υπεφερε τους τροπους αυτων εν τη ερημω,
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance	19 και αφου κατεστρεψεν επτα εθνη εν γη Χανααν, διεμερισεν εις αυτους κατα κληρον την γην αυτων.
20 at the end of about four hundred and fifty years. After these things he provided judges up to Samuel (the) prophet.	20 Και μετα ταυτα ως τετρακοσια και πεντηκοντα περιπου ετη εδωκεν εις αυτους κριτας εως Σαμουηλ του προφητου.
21 Then they asked for a king. God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.	21 Και επειτα εζητησαν βασιλεα, και εδωκεν εις αυτους ο Θεος τον Σαουλ, υιον του Κις, ανδρα εκ της φυλης Βενιαμιν, τεσσαρακοντα ετη?
22 Then he removed him and raised up David as their king; of him he testified, 'I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.'	22 και μεταστησας αυτον, ανεστησεν εις αυτους βασιλεα τον Δαβιδ, περι του οποιου και ειπε μαρτυρησας? Ευρον Δαβιδ τον του Ιεσσαι, ανδρα κατα την καρδιαν μου, οστις θελει καμει παντα τα θεληματα μου.
23 From this man's descendants God, according to his promise, has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus.	23 Απο του σπερματος τουτου ο Θεος κατα την επαγγελιαν αυτου ανεστησεν εις τον Ισραηλ σωτηρα τον Ιησουν,
24 John heralded his coming by proclaiming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel;	24 αφου ο Ιωαννης προ της ελευσεως αυτου προεκηρυξε βαπτισμα μετανοιας εις παντα τον λαον του Ισραηλ.
25 and as John was completing his course, he would say, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.'	25 Και ενω ο Ιωαννης ετελειονε τον δρομον αυτου, ελεγε? Τινα με στοχαζεσθε οτι ειμαι; δεν ειμαι εγω, αλλ' ιδου, ερχεται μετ' εμε εκεινος, του οποιου δεν ειμαι αξιος να λυσω το υποδημα των ποδων.
26 "My brothers, children of the family of Abraham, and those others among you who are God-fearing, to us this word of salvation has been sent.	26 Ανδρες αδελφοι, υιοι του γενους του Αβρααμ και οι εν υμιν φοβουμενοι τον Θεον, προς εσας απεσταλη ο λογος της σωτηριας ταυτης.
27 The inhabitants of Jerusalem and their leaders failed to recognize him, and by condemning him they fulfilled the oracles of the prophets that are read sabbath after sabbath.	27 Διοτι οι κατοικουντες εν Ιερουσαλημ και οι αρχοντες αυτων, μη γνωρισαντες τουτον μηδε τας ρησεις των προφητων, τας αναγινωσκομενας κατα παν σαββατον, επληρωσαν αυτας κριναντες τουτον,
28 For even though they found no grounds for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him put to death,	28 και μη ευροντες μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου, εζητησαν παρα του Πιλατου να θανατωθη.
29 and when they had accomplished all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and placed him in a tomb.	29 Αφου δε ετελειωσαν παντα τα περι αυτου γεγραμμενα, καταβιβασαντες αυτον απο του ξυλου εθεσαν εις μνημειον.
30 But God raised him from the dead,	30 Ο Θεος ομως ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων?
31 and for many days he appeared to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These are (now) his witnesses before the people.	31 οστις εφανη επι πολλας ημερας εις τους μετ' αυτου αναβαντας απο της Γαλιλαιας εις Ιερουσαλημ, οιτινες ειναι μαρτυρες αυτου προς τον λαον.
32 We ourselves are proclaiming this good news to you that what God promised our ancestors	32 Και ημεις ευαγγελιζομεθα προς εσας την γενομενην εις τους πατερας επαγγελιαν,
33 he has brought to fulfillment for us, (their) children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm, 'You are my son; this day I have begotten you.'	33 οτι ταυτην ο Θεος εξεπληρωσεν εις ημας τα τεκνα αυτων, αναστησας τον Ιησουν, ως ειναι γεγραμμενον και εν τω ψαλμω τω δευτερω? Υιος μου εισαι συ, εγω σημερον σε εγεννησα.
34 And that he raised him from the dead never to return to corruption he declared in this way, 'I shall give you the benefits assured to David.'	34 Οτι δε ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων, μη μελλοντα πλεον να υποστρεψη εις την διαφθοραν, λεγει ουτως, οτι θελω σας δωσει τα ελεη του Δαβιδ τα πιστα.
35 That is why he also says in another psalm, 'You will not suffer your holy one to see corruption.'	35 Δια τουτο και εν αλλω ψαλμω λεγει? Δεν θελεις αφησει τον οσιον σου να ιδη διαφθοραν.
36 Now David, after he had served the will of God in his lifetime, fell asleep, was gathered to his ancestors, and did see corruption.	36 Διοτι ο μεν Δαβιδ, αφου υπηρετησε την βουλην του Θεου εν τη γενεα αυτου, εκοιμηθη και προσετεθη εις τους πατερας αυτου και ειδε διαφθοραν?
37 But the one whom God raised up did not see corruption.	37 εκεινος ομως, τον οποιον ο Θεος ανεστησε, δεν ειδε διαφθοραν.
38 You must know, my brothers, that through him forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you, (and) in regard to everything from which you could not be justified under the law of Moses,	38 Εστω λοιπον γνωστον εις εσας, ανδρες αδελφοι, οτι δια τουτου κηρυττεται προς εσας αφεσις αμαρτιων.
39 in him every believer is justified.	39 Και απο παντων, αφ' οσων δεν ηδυνηθητε δια του νομου του Μωυσεως να δικαιωθητε, δια τουτου πας ο πιστευων δικαιουται.
40 Be careful, then, that what was said in the prophets not come about:	40 Βλεπετε λοιπον μη επελθη εφ' υμας το λαληθεν υπο των προφητων?
41 'Look on, you scoffers, be amazed and disappear. For I am doing a work in your days, a work that you will never believe even if someone tells you.'"	41 Ιδετε, οι καταφρονηται, και θαυμασατε και αφανισθητε, διοτι εργον εγω εργαζομαι εν ταις ημεραις υμων, εργον, εις το οποιον δεν θελετε πιστευσει, εαν τις διηγηθη εις εσας.
42 As they were leaving, they invited them to speak on these subjects the following sabbath.	42 Ενω δε εξηρχοντο εκ της συναγωγης των Ιουδαιων, παρεκαλουν τα εθνη να κηρυχθωσιν εις αυτους οι λογοι ουτοι το ακολουθον σαββατον.
43 After the congregation had dispersed, many Jews and worshipers who were converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to remain faithful to the grace of God.	43 Και αφου ελυθη η συναγωγη, πολλοι εκ των Ιουδαιων και των ευσεβων προσηλυτων ηκολουθησαν τον Παυλον και τον Βαρναβαν, οιτινες λαλουντες προς αυτους, επειθον αυτους να εμμενωσιν εις την χαριν του Θεου.
44 On the following sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.	44 το δε ερχομενον σαββατον σχεδον ολη η πολις συνηχθη δια να ακουσωσι τον λογον του Θεου.
45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said.	45 Ιδοντες δε οι Ιουδαιοι τα πλη0η, επλησθηααν φθονου και ηναντιουντο εις τα υπο του Παυλου λεγομενα, αντιλεγοντες και βλασφημουντες.
46 Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first, but since you reject it and condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.	46 Ο Παυλος δε και ο Βαρναβας, λαλουντες μετα παρρησιας, ειπον? Εις εσας πρωτον ητο αναγκαιον να λαληθη ο λογος του Θεου? αλλ' επειδη απορριπτετε αυτον και δεν κρινετε εαυτους αξιους της αιωνιου ζωης, ιδου, στρεφομεθα εις τα εθνη?
47 For so the Lord has commanded us, 'I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth.'"	47 διοτι ουτω προσεταξεν ημας ο Κυριος, λεγων? Σε εθεσα φως των εθνων, δια να ησαι προς σωτηριαν εως εσχατου της γης.
48 The Gentiles were delighted when they heard this and glorified the word of the Lord. All who were destined for eternal life came to believe,	48 Και οι εθνικοι ακουσαντες εχαιρον και εδοξαζον τον λογον του Κυριου, και επιστευσαν οσοι ησαν ωρισμενοι δια την αιωνιον ζωην?
49 and the word of the Lord continued to spread through the whole region.	49 και ο λογος του Κυριου διεδιδετο δι' ολου του τοπου.
50 The Jews, however, incited the women of prominence who were worshipers and the leading men of the city, stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their territory.	50 Οι δε Ιουδαιοι παρεκινησαν τας ευλαβεις και επισημους γυναικας και τους πρωτους της πολεως και διηγειραν διωγμον κατα του Παυλου και του Βαρναβα, και εξεβαλον αυτους απο των οριων αυτων.
51 So they shook the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.	51 Εκεινοι δε εκτιναξαντες τον κονιορτον των ποδων αυτων επ' αυτους, ηλθον εις το Ικονιον.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and the holy Spirit.	52 Και οι μαθηται επληρουντο χαρας και Πνευματος Αγιου.
