Iconium, Lystra and the return

English onlyRead it word by word

Act 14:1Factum est autem Iconiī, ut simul introīrent in synagōgam Jūdaeōrum, et loquerentur, ita ut crēderet Jūdaeōrum et Graecōrum cōpiōsa multitūdō.And it happened at Iconium that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke, so that a copious multitude of Jews and Greeks believed. Act 14:2Quī vērō incrēdulī fuērunt Jūdaeī, suscitāvērunt et ad īrācundiam concitāvērunt animās gentium adversus frātrēs.But those Jews who were unbelieving roused and stirred up to anger the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers. Act 14:3Multō igitur tempore dēmorātī sunt, fīdūciāliter agentēs in Dominō, testimōnium perhibente verbō grātiae suae, dante signa et prōdigia fierī per manūs eōrum.For a long time, therefore, they stayed, acting confidently in the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done through their hands. Act 14:4Dīvīsa est autem multitūdō cīvitātis: et quīdam quidem erant cum Jūdaeīs, quīdam vērō cum Apostolīs.And the multitude of the city was divided: and some indeed were with the Jews, but some with the Apostles. Act 14:5Cum autem factus esset impetus gentīlium et Jūdaeōrum cum prīncipibus suīs, ut contumēliīs afficerent, et lapidārent eōs, intelligentēs cōnfūgērunt ad cīvitātēs Lycāoniae Lystram et Derbēn, et ūniversam in circuitū regiōnem, et ibi ēvangelizantēs erant.But when an onrush of Gentiles and Jews with their rulers had been made, to treat them with insults and to stone them, understanding this they fled for refuge to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the whole region round about, and there they were preaching the Gospel.

Act 14:7Et quīdam vir Lystrīs īnfirmus pedibus sedēbat, claudus ex uterō mātris suae, quī numquam ambulāverat.And a certain man at Lystra, weak in his feet, was sitting, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked. Act 14:8Hic audīvit Paulum loquentem.This man heard Paul speaking. Act 14:8Quī intuitus eum, et vidēns quia fidem habēret ut salvus fieret, dīxit magnā vōce: Surge super pedēs tuōs rēctus.Who, gazing at him, and seeing that he had faith that he might be made whole, said with a great voice: "Stand up straight upon your feet." Act 14:9Et exilīvit, et ambulābat.And he leapt up, and was walking. Act 14:10Turbae autem cum vīdissent quod fēcerat Paulus, levāvērunt vōcem suam lycaonicē, dīcentēs: Diī similēs factī hominibus dēscendērunt ad nōs.But the crowds, when they had seen what Paul had done, lifted up their voice in Lycaonian, saying: "Gods made like men have come down to us." Act 14:11Et vocābant Barnabam Jovem, Paulum vērō Mercurium: quoniam ipse erat dux verbī.And they were calling Barnabas Jupiter, but Paul Mercury: since he was the leader of the speaking. Act 14:12Sacerdōs quoque Jovis, quī erat ante cīvitātem, taurōs et corōnās ante jānuās afferēns, cum populīs volēbat sacrificāre.The priest of Jupiter also, who was before the city, bringing bulls and garlands before the gates, wished to sacrifice with the peoples.

Act 14:13Quod ubi audiērunt Apostolī, Barnabas et Paulus, cōnscissīs tunicīs suīs exiliērunt in turbās, clāmantēs et dīcentēs: Virī, quid haec facitis?And when the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard this, their tunics having been torn, they leapt out into the crowds, shouting and saying: "Men, why are you doing these things? Act 14:14Et nōs mortālēs sumus, similēs vōbīs hominēs, annūntiantēs vōbīs ab hīs vānīs convertī ad Deum vīvum, quī fēcit caelum, et terram, et mare, et omnia quae in eīs sunt: quī in praeteritīs generātiōnibus dīmīsit omnēs gentēs ingredī viās suās.We too are mortal, men like you, announcing to you that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and sea, and all things that are in them: who in past generations allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. Act 14:16Et quidem nōn sine testimōniō sēmetipsum relīquit benefaciēns dē caelō, dāns pluviās et tempora frūctifera, implēns cibō et laetitiā corda nostra.And yet he did not leave himself without witness, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness." Act 14:17Et haec dīcentēs, vix sēdāvērunt turbās nē sibi immolārent.And saying these things, they barely calmed the crowds from sacrificing to them.

Act 14:18Supervēnērunt autem quīdam ab Antiochīā et Iconiō Jūdaeī: et persuāsīs turbīs, lapidantēsque Paulum, trāxērunt extrā cīvitātem, exīstimantēs eum mortuum esse.But there came upon them certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium: and, the crowds having been persuaded, and stoning Paul, they dragged him outside the city, thinking that he was dead. Act 14:19Circumdantibus autem eum discipulīs, surgēns intrāvit cīvitātem, et posterā diē profectus est cum Barnabā in Derbēn.But the disciples standing round him, rising up he went into the city, and on the next day he set out with Barnabas to Derbe. Act 14:20Cumque ēvangelizāssent cīvitātī illī, et docuissent multōs, reversī sunt Lystram, et Iconium, et Antiochīam, cōnfirmantēs animās discipulōrum, exhortantēsque ut permanērent in fidē: et quoniam per multās trībulātiōnēs oportet nōs intrāre in regnum Deī.And when they had preached the Gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to remain in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God. Act 14:22Et cum cōnstituissent illīs per singulās ecclēsiās presbyterōs, et ōrāssent cum jējūnātiōnibus, commendāvērunt eōs Dominō, in quem crēdidērunt.And when they had appointed for them elders in each church, and had prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

Act 14:23Trānseuntēsque Pisidiam, vēnērunt in Pamphȳliam, et loquentēs verbum Dominī in Pergē, dēscendērunt in Attaliam: et inde nāvigāvērunt Antiochīam, unde erant trāditī grātiae Deī in opus quod complēvērunt.And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia, and speaking the word of the Lord in Perga, they went down into Attalia: and from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had completed. Act 14:26Cum autem vēnissent, et congregāssent ecclēsiam, retulērunt quanta fēcisset Deus cum illīs, et quia aperuisset gentibus ōstium fideī.And when they had come, and had gathered the church, they reported how great things God had done with them, and that he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith. Act 14:27Morātī sunt autem tempus nōn modicum cum discipulīs.And they stayed no small time with the disciples.
