Acts 14

1 At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.

1 保罗和巴拿巴一同进入以哥念的犹太会堂讲道，许多犹太人和希腊人信了耶稣。

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

2 但那些顽梗不信的犹太人却怂恿外族人敌视信徒。

3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.

3 二人在那里逗留了好些日子，靠着主勇敢地传道。主赐给他们行神迹奇事的能力，为祂的恩典之道做见证。

4 The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.

4 城里的居民分成了两派，有些附和犹太人，有些支持使徒。

5 But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,

5 当时，有些外族人、犹太人及其官长企图恶待使徒，用石头打他们。

6 they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,

6 保罗和巴拿巴得知后，就逃往吕高尼的路司得和特庇二城并周围的地区，

7 where they continued to preach the gospel.

7 在那里继续传扬福音。

8 In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.

8 路司得城里坐着一个生来瘸腿的，他双脚无力，不能走路。

9 This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.

9 他在听保罗讲道。保罗定睛看他，见这个人有信心，可以得医治，

10 In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.

10 就高声对他说：“起来，两脚站直！”那人就跳了起来，开始行走。

11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”

11 周围的人看见保罗所行的，就用吕高尼话大声说：“神明化成人形下凡了！”

12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

12 于是，他们称巴拿巴为宙斯，又因为保罗是主要的发言人，就称他为希耳米 。

13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.

13 城外宙斯庙的祭司也牵着牛、拿着花环来到城门口，要和众人一同向使徒献祭。

14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,

14 巴拿巴和保罗二位使徒见此情形，就撕裂衣服，冲进人群中，高喊：

15 “Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.

15 “各位，你们为什么这样做？我们和你们一样只是凡人！我们来这里是要向你们传福音，叫你们离弃这些虚妄的事，转向那创造天地、海洋和其中万物的永活上帝。

16 In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.

16 在以往的世代，祂虽然容许万国各行其道，

17 Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”

17 却从未停止显明自己的存在。祂常施恩惠，降下甘霖，赏赐丰年，又叫你们衣食饱足，满心喜乐。”

18 Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.

18 保罗和巴拿巴说了这些话，才勉强制止住人群向他们献祭。

19 Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.

19 有些犹太人从安提阿和以哥念来煽动民众，他们用石头打保罗，以为他死了，就把他拖到城外。

20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.

20 当门徒围过来看他的时候，他站了起来，走回城里。第二天，保罗和巴拿巴前往特庇。

21 They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

21 他们向那里的人传福音，有很多人做了门徒。然后，他们又回到路司得、以哥念和安提阿，

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.

22 坚固各地门徒的心志，鼓励他们要持守信仰，并且说：“我们在进入上帝国的道路上必经历许多苦难。”

23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.

23 二人又为每个教会选立长老，禁食祷告，把他们交托给所信靠的主。

24 After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

24 后来，二人又经过彼西底，来到旁非利亚，

25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

25 在别加讲完道，然后下到亚大利，

26 From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.

26 从那里乘船回安提阿。当初就是在安提阿，他们被交托在上帝的恩典中去传道，如今工作已经完成了。

27 When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

27 他们到达之后，就召集教会的人，报告上帝借着他们所做的一切事，以及上帝如何给外族人开了信仰之门。

28 And they spent a long time there with the disciples.

28 之后，二人和门徒同住了很久。
