Actus Apostolorum 14

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Factum est autem Iconii, ut simul introirent in synagogam Judæorum, et loquerentur, ita ut crederet Judæorum et Græcorum 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 Qui vero increduli fuerunt Judæi, suscitaverunt et ad iracundiam concitaverunt animas gentium adversus 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 in Domino, testimonium perhibente verbo gratiæ suæ, dante signa et prodigia fieri per 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 erant cum Judæis, 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 impetus gentilium et Judæorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent, et lapidarent eos,	5 When there was an attempt by both the Gentiles and the Jews, together with their leaders, to attack and stone them,
6 intelligentes confugerunt ad civitates Lycaoniæ Lystram et Derben, et universam in circuitu regionem, et ibi evangelizantes erant.	6 they realized it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding countryside,
7 Et quidam vir Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matris suæ, qui numquam ambulaverat.	7 where they continued to proclaim the good news.
8 Hic audivit Paulum loquentem. Qui intuitus eum, et videns quia fidem haberet ut salvus fieret,	8 At Lystra there was a crippled man, lame from birth, who had never walked.
9 dixit magna voce : Surge super pedes tuos rectus. Et exilivit, et ambulabat.	9 He listened to Paul speaking, who looked intently at him, saw that he had the faith to be healed,
10 Turbæ autem cum vidissent quod fecerat Paulus, levaverunt vocem suam lycaonice, dicentes : Dii similes facti hominibus descenderunt ad nos.	10 and called out in a loud voice, "Stand up straight on your feet." He jumped up and began to walk about.
11 Et vocabant Barnabam Jovem, Paulum vero Mercurium : quoniam ipse erat dux verbi.	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 Sacerdos quoque Jovis, qui erat ante civitatem, tauros et coronas ante januas afferens, cum populis volebat sacrificare.	12 They called Barnabas "Zeus" and Paul "Hermes," because he was the chief speaker.
13 Quod ubi audierunt Apostoli, Barnabas et Paulus, conscissis tunicis suis exilierunt in turbas, clamantes	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 et dicentes : Viri, quid hæc facitis ? et nos mortales sumus, similes vobis homines, annuntiantes vobis ab his vanis converti ad Deum vivum, qui fecit cælum, et terram, et mare, et omnia quæ in eis sunt :	14 The apostles Barnabas and Paul tore their garments when they heard this and rushed out into the crowd, shouting,
15 qui in præteritis generationibus dimisit omnes gentes ingredi vias suas.	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 Et quidem non sine testimonio semetipsum reliquit benefaciens de cælo, dans pluvias et tempora fructifera, implens cibo et lætitia corda nostra.	16 In past generations he allowed all Gentiles to go their own ways;
17 Et hæc dicentes, vix sedaverunt turbas ne sibi immolarent.	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 Supervenerunt autem quidam ab Antiochia et Iconio Judæi : et persuasis turbis, lapidantesque Paulum, traxerunt extra civitatem, existimantes eum mortuum esse.	18 Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
19 Circumdantibus autem eum discipulis, surgens intravit civitatem, et postera die profectus est cum Barnaba in Derben.	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 Cumque evangelizassent civitati illi, et docuissent multos, reversi sunt Lystram, et Iconium, et Antiochiam,	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 confirmantes animas discipulorum, exhortantesque ut permanerent in fide : et quoniam per multas tribulationes oportet nos intrare in regnum Dei.	21 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 Et cum constituissent illis per singulas ecclesias presbyteros, et orassent cum jejunationibus, commendaverunt eos Domino, in quem crediderunt.	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 Transeuntesque Pisidiam, venerunt in Pamphyliam,	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 et loquentes verbum Domini in Perge, descenderunt in Attaliam :	24 Then they traveled through Pisidia and reached Pamphylia.
25 et inde navigaverunt Antiochiam, unde erant traditi gratiæ Dei in opus quod compleverunt.	25 After proclaiming the word at Perga they went down to Attalia.
26 Cum autem venissent, et congregassent ecclesiam, retulerunt quanta fecisset Deus cum illis, et quia aperuisset gentibus ostium fidei.	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 Morati sunt autem tempus non modicum cum discipulis.	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 Then they spent no little time with the disciples.
