NOVA VULGATANEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Factum est autem Iconii, ut eodem modo introirent syna gogam Iudaeorumet ita loquerentur, ut crederet Iudaeorum et Graecorum copiosa multitudo.1 In Iconium they entered the Jewish synagogue together and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks came to believe,
2 Quivero increduli fuerunt Iudaei, suscitaverunt et exacerbaverunt animas gentiumadversus fratres.2 although the disbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 Multo igitur tempore demorati sunt, fiducialiter agentes inDomino, testimonium perhibente verbo gratiae suae, dante signa et prodigia fieriper manus eorum.3 So they stayed for a considerable period, speaking out boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the word about his grace by granting signs and wonders to occur through their hands.
4 Divisa est autem multitudo civitatis: et quidam quidem erantcum Iudaeis, quidam vero cum apostolis.4 The people of the city were divided: some were with the Jews; others, with the apostles.
5 Cum autem factus esset impetusgentilium et Iudaeorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent etlapidarent eos,5 When there was an attempt by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their leaders, to attack and stone them,
6 intellegentes confugerunt ad civitates Lycaoniae, Lystram etDerben et ad regionem in circuitu6 they realized it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding countryside,
7 et ibi evangelizantes erant.
7 where they continued to proclaim the good news.
8 Et quidam vir in Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matrissuae, qui numquam ambulaverat.8 At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked.
9 Hic audivit Paulum loquentem; qui intuitus eumet videns quia haberet fidem, ut salvus fieret,9 He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed,
10 dixit magna voce: “ Surgesuper pedes tuos rectus! ”. Et exsilivit et ambulabat.10 and called out in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet." He jumped up and began to walk about.
11 Turbae autem cumvidissent, quod fecerat Paulus, levaverunt vocem suam Lycaonice dicentes: “Dii similes facti hominibus descenderunt ad nos! ”;11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they cried out in Lycaonian, "The gods have come down to us in human form."
12 et vocabant BarnabamIovem, Paulum vero Mercurium, quoniam ipse erat dux verbi.
12 They called Barnabas "Zeus" and Paul "Hermes," because he was the chief speaker.
13 Sacerdos quoque templi Iovis, quod erat ante civitatem, tauros et coronas adianuas afferens cum populis, volebat sacrificare.13 And the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, for he together with the people intended to offer sacrifice.
14 Quod ubi audierunt apostoliBarnabas et Paulus, conscissis tunicis suis, exsilierunt in turbam clamantes14 The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their garments when they heard this and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
15 et dicentes: “ Viri, quid haec facitis? Et nos mortales sumus similes vobishomines, evangelizantes vobis ab his vanis converti ad Deum vivum, qui fecitcaelum et terram et mare et omnia, quae in eis sunt.15 "Men, why are you doing this? We are of the same nature as you, human beings. We proclaim to you good news that you should turn from these idols to the living God, 'who made heaven and earth and sea and all that is in them.'
16 Qui in praeteritisgenerationibus permisit omnes gentes ambulare in viis suis;16 In past generations he allowed all Gentiles to go their own ways;
17 et quidem nonsine testimonio semetipsum reliquit benefaciens, de caelo dans vobis pluvias ettempora fructifera, implens cibo et laetitia corda vestra ”.17 yet, in bestowing his goodness, he did not leave himself without witness, for he gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filled you with nourishment and gladness for your hearts."
18 Et haecdicentes vix sedaverunt turbas, ne sibi immolarent.18 Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
19 Supervenerunt autem abAntiochia et Iconio Iudaei et persuasis turbis lapidantesque Paulum trahebantextra civitatem aestimantes eum mortuum esse.19 However, some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Circumdantibus autem eumdiscipulis, surgens intravit civitatem. Et postera die profectus est cum Barnabain Derben.
20 But when the disciples gathered around him, he got up and entered the city. On the following day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
21 Cumque evangelizassent civitati illi et docuissent multos, reversi suntLystram et Iconium et Antiochiam21 After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and made a considerable number of disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch.
22 confirmantes animas discipulorum,exhortantes, ut permanerent in fide, et quoniam per multas tribulationes oportetnos intrare in regnum Dei.22 They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying, "It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God."
23 Et cum ordinassent illis per singulas ecclesiaspresbyteros et orassent cum ieiunationibus, commendaverunt eos Domino, in quemcrediderant.23 They appointed presbyters for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had put their faith.
24 Transeuntesque Pisidiam venerunt Pamphyliam;24 Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
25 et loquentes inPerge verbum descenderunt in Attaliam.25 After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.
26 Et inde navigaverunt Antiochiam, undeerant traditi gratiae Dei in opus, quod compleverunt.
26 From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had now accomplished.
27 Cum autem venissent et congregassent ecclesiam, rettulerunt quanta fecissetDeus cum illis et quia aperuisset gentibus ostium fidei.27 And when they arrived, they called the church together and reported what God had done with them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Morati sunt autemtempus non modicum cum discipulis.
28 Then they spent no little time with the disciples.
