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 二人在以哥念同进犹太人的会堂，在那里讲的，叫犹太人和希腊人信的很多。

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

2 但那不顺从的犹太人耸动外邦人，叫他们心里恼恨弟兄。

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 二人在那里住了多日，倚靠主放胆讲道，主借他们的手施行神迹奇事，证明他的恩道。

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

4 城里的众人就分了党，有附从犹太人的，有附从使徒的。

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

5 那时，外邦人和犹太人，并他们的官长，一齐拥上来，要凌辱使徒，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 使徒知道了，就逃往吕高尼的路司得、特庇两个城和周围地方去，

7 where they continued to preach the gospel.

7 在那里传福音。

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两脚无力的人，生来是瘸腿的，从来没有走过。

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 他听保罗讲道，保罗定睛看他，见他有信心，可得痊愈，

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

10 就大声说：「你起来，两脚站直！」那人就跳起来，而且行走。

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 众人看见保罗所做的事，就用吕高尼的话大声说：「有神借着人形降临在我们中间了。」

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

12 于是称巴拿巴为宙斯，称保罗为希耳米，因为他说话领首。

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 有城外宙斯庙的祭司牵着牛，拿着花圈，来到门前，要同众人向使徒献祭。

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、保罗二使徒听见，就撕开衣裳，跳进众人中间，喊着说：

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 「诸君，为什么做这事呢？我们也是人，性情和你们一样。我们传福音给你们，是叫你们离弃这些虚妄，归向那创造天、地、海，和其中万物的永生 神。

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

16 他在从前的世代，任凭万国各行其道；

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 然而为自己未尝不显出证据来，就如常施恩惠，从天降雨，赏赐丰年，叫你们饮食饱足，满心喜乐。」

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

18 二人说了这些话，仅仅地拦住众人不献祭与他们。

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 但有些犹太人从安提阿和以哥念来，挑唆众人，就用石头打保罗，以为他是死了，便拖到城外。

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 门徒正围着他，他就起来，走进城去。 第二天，同巴拿巴往特庇去，

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

21 对那城里的人传了福音，使好些人作门徒，就回路司得、以哥念、安提阿去，

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 坚固门徒的心，劝他们恒守所信的道；又说：「我们进入 神的国，必须经历许多艰难。」

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 二人在各教会中选立了长老，又禁食祷告，就把他们交托所信的主。

24 After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

24 二人经过彼西底，来到旁非利亚。

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

25 在别加讲了道，就下亚大利去，

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 从那里坐船，往安提阿去。当初，他们被众人所托、蒙 神之恩、要办现在所做之工，就是在这地方。

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 到了那里，聚集了会众，就述说 神借他们所行的一切事，并 神怎样为外邦人开了信道的门。

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

28 二人就在那里同门徒住了多日。
