13 Now de there were eimi in en Antioch Antiocheia in kata the ho local eimi church ekklēsia prophets prophētēs and kai teachers didaskalos, · ho both te Barnabas Barnabas and kai Simeon Symeōn who ho was called kaleō Niger Niger, · kai Lucius Loukios the ho Cyrenian Kyrēnaios, and te Manaen Manaēn, the foster-brother syntrophos of Herod hērōdēs the ho tetrarch tetraarchēs, and kai Saul Saulos. ² While they autos were performing leitourgeō their service · de to the ho Lord kyrios and kai fasting nēsteuō, the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma said legō, · ho “ Set aphorizō apart for me egō · ho Barnabas Barnabas and kai Saul Saulos for eis the ho work ergon to which hos I have called proskaleō them autos.” ³ Then tote after fasting nēsteuō and kai praying proseuchomai · kai they laid epitithēmi their ho hands cheir on them autos and sent apolyō them off .

⁴ So oun they autos, being sent ekpempō out by hypo the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, went down katerchomai to eis Seleucia Seleukeia, and te from there ekeithen they sailed apopleō to eis Cyprus Kypros. ⁵ And kai when they arrived ginomai in en Salamis Salamis, they began to proclaim katangellō the ho word logos of ho God theos in en the ho synagogues synagōgē of the ho Jews Ioudaios, and de they also kai had echō John Iōannēs as their assistant hypēretēs. ⁶ When they had gone dierchomai through · de the ho whole holos island nēsos as achri far as Paphos Paphos, they met heuriskō a certain tis man anēr, a magician magos, a Jewish Ioudaios false pseudoprophētēs prophet named hos onoma Bar-Jesus Bariēsous, ⁷ who hos was eimi with syn the ho proconsul anthypatos Sergius Sergios Paulus Paulos, an intelligent synetos man anēr. This houtos man summoned proskaleō Barnabas Barnabas and kai Saul Saulos and wanted epizēteō to hear akouō the ho word logos of ho God theos. ⁸ But de Elymas Elymas the ho magician magos ( for gar that is the way houtōs his autos name onoma is translated methermēneuō) · ho opposed anthistēmi them autos, trying zēteō to turn diastrephō the ho proconsul anthypatos away apo from the ho faith pistis. ⁹ But de Saul Saulos, who ho is also kai Paul Paulos, filled pimplēmi with the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, looked atenizō intently at eis him autos ¹⁰ and said legō, “ O ō man full plērēs of all pas kinds of deceit dolos and kai all pas fraud rhadiourgia, son hyios of the devil diabolos, enemy echthros of all pas righteousness dikaiosynē, will you not ou stop pauō making diastrephō crooked the ho straight paths hodos of the ho Lord kyrios? · ho ¹¹ And kai now nyn, behold idou, the hand cheir of the Lord kyrios is upon epi you sy, and kai you will be eimi blind typhlos, not mē seeing blepō the ho sun hēlios for achri a time kairos.” And te immediately parachrēma fell piptō upon epi him autos mist achlys and kai darkness skotos, and kai as he went periagō about he sought zēteō someone to lead cheiragōgos him by the hand . ¹² Then tote the ho proconsul anthypatos believed pisteuō, when he saw what ho had occurred ginomai, for he was astonished ekplēssō at epi the ho teaching didachē of the ho Lord kyrios.

⁴¹ Then de Peter Petros said legō, · ho “ Lord kyrios, are you telling legō this houtos parable parabolē to pros us hēmeis · ho or ē · kai to pros everyone pas?” ⁴² And kai the ho Lord kyrios said legō, “ Who tis, then ara, is eimi the ho faithful pistos and wise phronimos steward oikonomos, · ho whom hos the ho master kyrios will put kathistēmi in charge of epi · ho his autos servants therapeia, to ho give didōmi the ho food ration sitometrion at en the proper kairos time ? ⁴³ Fortunate makarios is · ho that ekeinos servant whom hos his autos master kyrios, when he comes erchomai, · ho will find heuriskō doing poieō so houtōs. ⁴⁴ I tell legō you hymeis the truth alēthōs, he will put kathistēmi him autos in charge kathistēmi of epi all pas · ho his autos possessions hyparchō. ⁴⁵ But de if ean that ekeinos servant says legō · ho in en · ho his autos heart kardia, ‘ My egō master kyrios is delayed chronizō · ho in coming erchomai,’ and kai begins archō to beat typtō the ho male pais and kai · ho female paidiskē servants , and te to eat esthiō and kai drink pinō and kai get drunk methyskō; ⁴⁶ then the ho master kyrios of ho that ekeinos servant will come hēkō on en a day hēmera when hos he does not ou expect prosdokaō him and kai at en an hour hōra that hos he does not ou know ginōskō about , and kai he will cut dichotomeō him autos in pieces and kai will assign tithēmi him · ho his autos place meros with meta the ho unfaithful apistos.

⁴⁷ “ And de that ekeinos · ho servant who ho knew ginōskō · ho his autos master’ s kyrios will thelēma · ho but kai did not mē get ready hetoimazō or ē act poieō in accord with pros · ho his autos will thelēma, will be beaten derō with many polys blows . ⁴⁸ But de the ho one who did not mē know ginōskō, and de did poieō things worthy axios of blows plēgē, will be beaten derō with few oligos blows . Everyone pas · de to whom hos much polys was given didōmi, much polys will be required zēteō from para him autos, and kai to whom hos much polys was handed paratithēmi over , they will ask aiteō more perissoteros of him autos.
