Ginpadala si Bernabe kag si Saulo sang Espiritu Santo

13 Sa Antioc may mga propeta kag mga manunudlo nga miyembro sang iglesya. Sila amo si Bernabe, si Simeon nga ginatawag Negro, si Lucio nga taga-Cyrene, si Manaen nga nagdako sa panimalay[a] ni Herodes nga gobernador, kag si Saulo. Samtang nagasimba sila sa Ginoo kag nagapuasa, nagsiling ang Espiritu Santo sa ila, “Paina ninyo para sa akon si Bernabe kag si Saulo, kay may ipahimo ako sa ila.” Pagkatapos sang ila pagpuasa kag pagpangamuyo, gintungtungan nila si Bernabe kag si Saulo sang ila mga kamot kag ginpalakat sila.

Si Bernabe kag si Saulo sa Cyprus

Gani nagpa-Seleucia si Bernabe kag si Saulo nga ginpadala sang Espiritu Santo. Halin didto nagpanakayon sila pakadto sa isla sang Cyprus. Pag-abot nila didto sa banwa sang Salamis, nagwali sila sang pulong sang Dios sa mga simbahan sang mga Judio. Si Juan Marcos kaupod man nila sa pagbulig sa ila obra. Ginlibot nila ang bug-os nga isla hasta nakalambot sila sa banwa sang Pafos. May nakita sila didto nga madyikero nga si Bar Jesus. Judio siya, kag nagapakuno-kuno nga siya propeta sang Dios. Abyan siya ni Sergius Paulus nga gobernador sang amo nga isla. Si Sergius Paulus maalam nga tawo. Ginpatawag niya si Bernabe kag si Saulo tungod nga luyag niya nga magpamati sang pulong sang Dios. Pero ginbalabagan sila sang madyikero nga si Elimas. (Amo ini ang ngalan ni Bar Jesus sa lingguahe nga Griego.) Ginhimulatan gid niya nga mapalikaw ang gobernador nga indi siya makatuo kay Jesus. Pero si Saulo nga ginatawag man nga Pablo gin-gamhan sang Espiritu Santo, kag gintulok niya sing masakit si Elimas kag nagsiling, 10 “Anak ka ni Satanas! Kaaway ka sang tanan nga maayo! Pulos pangdaya kag pangtunto ang imo ginahimo. Ginabaliskad mo permi ang mga husto nga pamaagi sang Ginoo. 11 Karon silutan ka sang Ginoo. Mabulag ka kag indi gid makakita sa sulod sang pila ka adlaw.” Nagdulom gilayon ang panulok ni Elimas kag nabulag siya. Nagpangapkap na lang siya nga nagapangita sang magatuytoy sa iya. 12 Pagkakita sang gobernador sa natabo kay Elimas, nagtuo siya, kag natingala gid siya sa mga pagpanudlo parte sa Ginoo.

Sa Antioc nga Sakop sang Pisidia

13 Paghalin nila ni Pablo sa Pafos, nagpanakayon sila pa-Perga nga sakop sang Pamfilia. Pag-abot nila didto ginbayaan sila ni Juan Marcos. Nagbalik siya sa Jerusalem. 14 Sila ni Pablo nagderetso sa Antioc nga sakop sang Pisidia. Pag-abot sang Adlaw nga Inugpahuway, nagkadto sila sa simbahan sang mga Judio kag nagpungko didto. 15 May nagbasa sa Kasuguan ni Moises kag sa mga sinulatan sang mga propeta. Dayon may ginsugo ang mga manugdumala sang simbahan sa pagsiling sa ila ni Pablo, “Mga utod, kon may inughambal kamo nga makapabakod sa mga tawo, ihambal ninyo.” 16 Gani nagtindog si Pablo, kag ginsinyasan niya ang mga tawo nga magpamati sa iya. Nagsiling siya,

“Mga kapareho ko nga mga Israelinhon, kag kamo nga mga indi Israelinhon pero nagasimba man sa Dios, pamatii ninyo ako! 17 Ang Dios nga ginasimba sang mga Israelinhon amo ang nagpili sang aton mga katigulangan, kag ginpadamo niya sila sang didto pa sila nagaestar sa Egipto. Kag paagi sa iya gahom ginbuligan niya sila agod makahalin sa Egipto. 18 Sa sulod sang 40 ka tuig, gin-agwanta[b] niya sila didto sa kamingawan. 19 Pagkatapos ginlaglag niya ang pito ka nasyon sa Canaan, kag ginhatag niya ini nga kadutaan sa aton mga katigulangan. 20 Ini tanan ginhimo sang Dios sa sulod sang 450 ka tuig.

“Dayon ginhatagan niya sila sang mga tawo nga magapangulo sa ila hasta sa panahon ni Propeta Samuel. 21 Sang ulihi nagpangayo sila sang hari, gani ginhatag sang Dios si Saul nga anak ni Kish, nga isa sang mga kaliwat ni Benjamin. Naghari si Saul sa ila sa sulod sang 40 ka tuig. 22 Sang napahalin na sang Dios si Saul, si David naman ang iya ginhimo nga hari nila. Amo ini ang ginsiling sang Dios, ‘May nakita na ako nga tawo nga si David nga anak ni Jesse, nga nagakomporme sa akon luyag. Magatuman siya sa tanan ko nga isugo sa iya.’ ”[c] 23 Nagsiling pa gid si Pablo sa mga tawo, “Sa kaliwat ni David naghalin si Jesus nga amo ang Manluluwas nga ginpromisa sang Dios sa Israel. 24 Sa wala pa magsugod si Jesus sa iya buluhaton, nagwali si Juan sa tanan nga Israelinhon nga maghinulsol sila sa ila mga sala kag magpabautiso. 25 Sang malapit na matapos ni Juan ang iya buluhaton, nagsiling siya sa mga tawo, ‘Siguro nagahunahuna kamo nga ako amo na ang inyo ginapaabot. Pero indi! Ginpauna lang ako. Magasunod siya sa akon, kag indi gani ako takos mangin iya suluguon.[d]’ ”

26 Dayon nagsiling si Pablo, “Mga utod, nga mga kaliwat ni Abraham kag mga indi Judio pero nagasimba man sa Dios, kita amo ang ginpadal-an sang Dios sang Maayong Balita parte sa kaluwasan. 27 Pero ang mga Judio nga nagaestar sa Jerusalem kag ang ila mga manugdumala wala nagkilala nga si Jesus amo ang Manluluwas. Wala man sila makaintiendi sang ginhambal sang mga propeta nga ginabasa nila kada Adlaw nga Inugpahuway sa ila mga simbahan; pero sila man mismo amo ang nagtuman sang mga gintagna sang mga propeta sang paghukom nila kay Jesus nga patyon. 28 Bisan wala sila sang malig-on nga ebidensya agod patyon siya, ginpangayo gihapon nila kay Pilato nga ipapatay si Jesus. 29 Sang nahimo na nila ang tanan nga ginsiling sang Kasulatan nga matabo sa iya, ginkuha nila siya sa krus kag ginbutang sa lulubngan, 30 pero ginbanhaw siya sang Dios. 31 Kag sa madamo nga mga inadlaw nagpakita siya sa mga tawo nga nag-upod sa iya sang paghalin niya sa Galilea pakadto sa Jerusalem. Atong mga tawo amo man ang nagapanugid subong sa mga Israelinhon parte kay Jesus. 32 Kag ari kami subong agod sugiran kamo sang Maayong Balita nga ginpromisa sang Dios sa aton mga katigulangan, 33 nga gintuman na niya sa aton nga ila mga kaliwat. Ginhimo niya ini sang pagbanhaw niya kay Jesus. Amo ini ang nasulat sa ikaduha nga Salmo,

‘Ikaw ang akon Anak, kag subong ipakilala ko nga ako ang imo Amay.’[e]

34 Kay ginpromisa man nga daan sang Dios nga banhawon niya siya kag ang iya lawas indi madunot, tungod kay nagsiling siya,

‘Ang mga promisa nga akon ginpromisa kay David himuon ko sa imo.’[f]

35 Gani ginsiling pa gid sa isa pa ka Salmo,

‘Indi mo pagtugutan nga madunot ang imo matutom nga alagad.’[g]

36 Indi si David ang iya ginatumod, tungod nga pagkatapos sang pag-alagad ni David sa mga tawo sa iya nga henerasyon, suno sa mga ginpahimo sang Dios sa iya, napatay siya kag ginlubong sa kilid sang ginlubngan sang iya mga katigulangan, kag ang iya lawas nadunot. 37 Pero si Jesus nga ginbanhaw sang Dios wala gid madunot. 38-39 Gani mga utod, dapat ninyo mahibaluan nga paagi kay Jesus ginasugid namon sa inyo ang balita nga kita mapatawad sang Dios sa aton mga sala. Ang bisan sin-o nga nagatuo kay Jesus ginapakamatarong sang Dios. Ini indi mahimo paagi sa pagsunod sa Kasuguan ni Moises. 40 Gani mag-andam kamo agod indi matabo sa inyo ang ginsiling sang mga propeta,

41 ‘Kamo nga mga nagayaguta,
matingala gid kamo sa akon himuon.
Magakalamatay kamo tungod nga may himuon ako sa inyo tiyempo nga indi gid kamo magpati bisan may magsugid pa sini sa inyo.’ ”[h]

42 Sang nagaguwa na si Pablo kag si Bernabe sa simbahan sang mga Judio, ginsilingan sila sang mga tawo nga magbalik sa madason nga Adlaw nga Inugpahuway agod sugiran pa gid sila parte sa sini nga mga butang. 43 Pagbululag sang mga tawo, madamo nga mga Judio kag mga nakonbertir sa relihiyon sang mga Judio ang nagsunod kay Pablo kag kay Bernabe. Ginhambalan sila ni Pablo kag ni Bernabe kag ginlaygayan nga magpadayon sila sa pagsalig sa bugay sang Dios.

44 Sang madason nga Adlaw nga Inugpahuway halos ang tanan nga pumuluyo sa Antioc nagtipon didto sa simbahan sang mga Judio agod magpamati sa pulong sang Ginoo. 45 Pagkakita sang mga lider sang mga Judio sa madamo nga mga tawo nga nagtalambong, nahisa gid sila kag naghambal sila kontra sa mga ginpanghambal ni Pablo kag ginpakahuy-an pa nila siya. 46 Pero nag-isog pa gid si Pablo kag si Bernabe. Nagsiling sila sa mga Judio, “Kinahanglan gid nga iwali anay sa inyo nga mga Judio ang pulong sang Dios. Pero tungod kay ginasikway ninyo siya, nagapakilala lang ina nga kamo indi bagay nga hatagan sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. Gani halin subong, sa mga indi Judio na kami mawali sang Maayong Balita. 47 Kay amo ini ang sugo sang Ginoo sa amon:

‘Ginhimo ko ikaw nga pareho sa suga nga magapasanag sa mga indi Judio,[i]
agod nga paagi sa imo maangkon sang mga tawo sa bug-os nga kalibutan[j] ang kaluwasan.’ ”[k]

48 Pagkabati sadto sang mga indi Judio, nalipay sila kag gindayaw nila ang pulong sang Ginoo. Kag ang tanan nga ginpili para sa kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan nangin tumuluo.

49 Gani naglapnag ang pulong sang Ginoo sa sadto nga lugar. 50 Pero ginsutsot sang mga lider sang mga Judio ang mga pangulo sang siyudad, pati ang mga relihiyuso kag kilala nga mga babayi, nga kontrahon sila ni Pablo. Gani ginhingabot nila si Pablo kag si Bernabe, kag gintabog sila sa sadto nga lugar. 51 Gintaktak ni Pablo kag ni Bernabe ang yab-ok sa ila mga tiil bilang paandam kontra sa ila. Dayon nagkadto sila sa Iconium. 52 Ang mga sumulunod ni Jesus didto sa Antioc ginagamhan sang Espiritu Santo, kag malipayon gid sila.

13 Now in the church at Antioch(A) there were prophets(B) and teachers:(C) Barnabas,(D) Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene,(E) Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod(F) the tetrarch) and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said,(G) “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work(H) to which I have called them.”(I) So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them(J) and sent them off.(K)

On Cyprus

The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit,(L) went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.(M) When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God(N) in the Jewish synagogues.(O) John(P) was with them as their helper.

They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer(Q) and false prophet(R) named Bar-Jesus, who was an attendant of the proconsul,(S) Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer(T) (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul(U) from the faith.(V) Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit,(W) looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 “You are a child of the devil(X) and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?(Y) 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you.(Z) You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.”(AA)

Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 When the proconsul(AB) saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.

In Pisidian Antioch

13 From Paphos,(AC) Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia,(AD) where John(AE) left them to return to Jerusalem. 14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch.(AF) On the Sabbath(AG) they entered the synagogue(AH) and sat down. 15 After the reading from the Law(AI) and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, please speak.”

16 Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand(AJ) and said: “Fellow Israelites and you Gentiles who worship God, listen to me! 17 The God of the people of Israel chose our ancestors; he made the people prosper during their stay in Egypt; with mighty power he led them out of that country;(AK) 18 for about forty years he endured their conduct[a](AL) in the wilderness;(AM) 19 and he overthrew seven nations in Canaan,(AN) giving their land to his people(AO) as their inheritance.(AP) 20 All this took about 450 years.

“After this, God gave them judges(AQ) until the time of Samuel the prophet.(AR) 21 Then the people asked for a king,(AS) and he gave them Saul(AT) son of Kish, of the tribe of Benjamin,(AU) who ruled forty years. 22 After removing Saul,(AV) he made David their king.(AW) God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart;(AX) he will do everything I want him to do.’(AY)

23 “From this man’s descendants(AZ) God has brought to Israel the Savior(BA) Jesus,(BB) as he promised.(BC) 24 Before the coming of Jesus, John preached repentance and baptism to all the people of Israel.(BD) 25 As John was completing his work,(BE) he said: ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not the one you are looking for.(BF) But there is one coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’(BG)

26 “Fellow children of Abraham(BH) and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation(BI) has been sent. 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus,(BJ) yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets(BK) that are read every Sabbath. 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed.(BL) 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him,(BM) they took him down from the cross(BN) and laid him in a tomb.(BO) 30 But God raised him from the dead,(BP) 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem.(BQ) They are now his witnesses(BR) to our people.

32 “We tell you the good news:(BS) What God promised our ancestors(BT) 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus.(BU) As it is written in the second Psalm:

“‘You are my son;
    today I have become your father.’[b](BV)

34 God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,

“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’[c](BW)

35 So it is also stated elsewhere:

“‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’[d](BX)

36 “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep;(BY) he was buried with his ancestors(BZ) and his body decayed. 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead(CA) did not see decay.

38 “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.(CB) 39 Through him everyone who believes(CC) is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.(CD) 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:

41 “‘Look, you scoffers,
    wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
    that you would never believe,
    even if someone told you.’[e](CE)

42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue,(CF) the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.(CG)

44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying(CH) and heaped abuse(CI) on him.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first.(CJ) Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.(CK) 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

“‘I have made you[f] a light for the Gentiles,(CL)
    that you[g] may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’[h](CM)

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord;(CN) and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.

49 The word of the Lord(CO) spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.(CP) 51 So they shook the dust off their feet(CQ) as a warning to them and went to Iconium.(CR) 52 And the disciples(CS) were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.(CT)

13 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:

Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.

10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

20 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 But God raised him from the dead:

31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
