使徒行传 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
在以哥念传道
14 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 但那些顽梗不信的犹太人却怂恿外族人敌视信徒。 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 城里的居民分成了两派，有些附和犹太人，有些支持使徒。
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 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 在那里继续传扬福音。
在路司得和特庇传福音
8 路司得城里坐着一个天生双脚无力、不能走路的瘸子。 9 他也听保罗讲道。保罗定睛看他，见这个人有信心，可以得医治， 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 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 于是，他们称巴拿巴为希腊天神宙斯，又因为保罗是主要的发言人，就称他为希耳米[a]。 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 巴拿巴和保罗见此情形，就撕裂衣服，冲进人群中，大声喊着说： 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、海和其中万物的永活上帝。 16 在以往的世代，祂虽然容许万国各行其道， 17 却从未停止用美善的事证实自己的存在。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 保罗和巴拿巴说了这些话，才勉强制止住向他们献祭的人群。 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 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。
返回安提阿
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 坚固各地门徒的信心，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 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 后来，二人又经过彼西底，来到旁非利亚， 25 在别加讲道，然后下到亚大利， 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手中去传道，如今工作已经完成了。
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 之后，二人和门徒同住了很久。

Gevurot 14
Orthodox Jewish Bible
14 Now it came about in Iconium that together they entered into the shul and the same thing transpired: they spoke with the result that both Yehudim and a great multitude of Yevanim became ma’aminim hameshichiyim.
2 And the Yehudim who disobeyed were the ones who aroused and stirred up in anger the nefashot (souls) of the Goyim keneged (against) the Achim b’Moshiach.
3 Therefore, they continued for a long zman (time) speaking with ometz lev (boldness) for Hashem, who gave edut to the dvar of Chen v’Chesed Hashem by granting otot and moftim to take place by the hands of Moshiach’s Shluchim.
4 And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the [disobedient, 14:2] Yehudim but, others, with the Moshiach’s Shluchim.
5 And when an attempt came by both the Goyim and the Yehudim with their rashim (heads, leaders) to mistreat and to stone them,
6 when the Moshiach’s Shluchim became aware of this, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding countryside.
7 And there the Moshiach’s Shluchim were preaching the Besuras HaGeulah.
8 And a certain ish in Lystra, powerless in his feet, was sitting, pise’ach from womb of his Em, a man who had never walked.
9 This one heard Rav Sha’ul speaking, and when he gazed at the man and saw that he has emunah (faith) to be restored to health,
10 Rav Sha’ul said in a kol gadol, "Stand upright on your feet." And the man jumped up and was walking around. [Ezek 2:1]
11 And the multitudes, when they saw what Rav Sha’ul did, shouted in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The g-ds, having been made like anashim, have come down to us."
12 And they were calling Bar-Nabba "Zeus" and Rav Sha’ul "Hermes," vi-bahlt (since) Rav Sha’ul was the main speaker.
13 And the priest of Zeus was outside the city and brought bulls and flower wreaths to the gates; he and the multitudes wanted to offer pagan korbanot (sacrifices).
14 But having heard this, the Moshiach’s Shlichim Bar-Nabba and Rav Sha’ul tore their kaftans and rushed out into the crowd, crying out,
15 "Anashim, why are you doing these things? We also are of the same nature as you, mere men, preaching to you to turn in teshuva from these worthless things to the Elohim Chayyim who made HASHOMAYIM V’ES HAARETZ V’ES HAYAM and all the things in them; [1Sm 12:21; Gn 1:1; Ps 146:6; Ex 20:11]
16 "In the dorot having passed, Hashem allowed all the Goyim to go their own way. [Ps 81:12; Mic 4:5]
17 "And yet Hashem did not leave himself without an eidus (witness) in doing hatovim to you, giving geshem from Shomayim and seasons of bearing p’ri, filling you with okhel and your levavot with simcha." [Dt 11:14; Job 5:10; Ps 65:10; 4:7; 147:20]
18 And even saying these things, it was with difficulty that Moshiach’s Shlichim restrained the multitudes from offering pagan korbanot to them. [AMOS 9:11 TARGUM HASHIVIM; YIRMEYAH 12:15; YESHAYAH 45:21]
19 Then [disobedient] Yehudim came from Pisidian Antioch and Iconium and, having won over the crowds and having stoned Rav Sha’ul, they were dragging him outside the city, thinking he was dead.
20 And after the Moshiach’s talmidim had surrounded Rav Sha’ul, he got up and entered the city. And on the next day he went with Bar-Nabba to Derbe.
21 And having preached the Besuras HaGeulah in that city and having made many talmidim, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Pisidian Antioch,
22 Strengthening the nefashot (souls) of Moshiach’s talmidim, encouraging them to remain in the [Orthodox Jewish] emunah (faith), and exhorting them that through tzarot rabbot it is necessary for us to enter into the Malchut Hashem.
23 And having chosen for messianic s’michah Zekenim to be installed in every one of Moshiach’s Kehillot, and having davened with tzomot, the Moshiach’s Shlichim commended them to Adoneinu in whom they had emunah.
24 And having gone through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 And having spoken the dvar Hashem in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 And from there, they sailed away to Syrian Antioch, their point of origin from which they had been commended to the Chen v’Chesed Hashem to the Messianic avodas kodesh which they had completed.
27 Upon their arrival in Syrian Antioch, they assembled the Moshiach’s Kehillah there, and were reporting what Hashem had done with them and how he had opened for the Nations a sha’ar of emunah.
28 And they were spending not a little zman with the talmidim.
Acts 14
World English Bible
14 In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed. 2 But the disbelieving[a] Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers. 3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. 4 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles. 5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them, 6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region. 7 There they preached the Good News.
8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked. 9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole, 10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked. 11 When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” 12 They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker. 13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out, 15 “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; 16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. 17 Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you[b] rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them. 19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom. 23 When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. 25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled. 27 When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations. 28 They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
