Bawlos Iyo Barnabas Oo Ikoniyon Jooga

14 Waxaa Ikoniyon ka dhacday inay wada galeen sunagogga Yuhuudda, oo siday u hadleen aawadeed dad badan oo Yuhuud iyo Gariigba ah ayaa rumaystay. Laakiin Yuhuuddii caasiyiinta ahayd ayaa waxay dadkii aan Yuhuudda ahayn ku kiciyeen oo si xun ugu direen walaalihii. Haddaba wakhti dheer ayay halkaas joogeen iyagoo geesinimo ugu hadlaya Rabbiga, kaasoo markhaati u furay ereyga nimcadiisa, wuxuuna siiyey inay calaamooyin iyo yaabab gacmahooda ku sameeyaan. Markaasaa dadkii badnaa oo magaaladu kala qaybsameen, oo qaar waxay raaceen Yuhuudda, qaarna rasuulladii. Markii dadkii aan Yuhuudda ahayn iyo Yuhuuddaba, iyaga iyo taliyayaashoodii, ay ku yaaceen inay caayaan oo dhagxiyaan, ayay garteen, oo waxay u carareen magaalooyinkii la odhan jiray Luka'oniya iyo Lustara iyo Derbe iyo dhulka ku wareegsan; meeshaasna ayay injiilka ku wacdiyeen dadka.

Bawlos Iyo Barnabas Oo Lustara Jooga

Lustara waxaa fadhiyey nin aan cagaha xoog ku lahayn, oo tan iyo markuu uurka hooyadii ka dhashay curyaan ahaa, kaasoo aan weligiis socon. Isagu wuxuu maqlay Bawlos oo hadlaya, kaasoo indhaha aad ugu fiiriyey, gartayna inuu rumaysad uu ku bogsan karo leeyahay, 10 wuxuuna cod dheer ku yidhi, Cagahaaga sare isugu taag. Markaasuu booday oo socday. 11 Markii dadkii badnaa arkeen wixii Bawlos sameeyey, ayay codkoodii sare u qaadeen, iyagoo afkii Luka'oniya ku leh, Ilaahyadu waxay inoogu yimaadeen iyagoo sidii niman u eg. 12 Barnabasna waxay u bixiyeen Yubiter; Bawlosna waxay u bixiyeen Merkuriyos, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ahaa kii hadalka waday. 13 Markaasaa wadaadkii Yubiter oo macbudkiisu ku yiil magaalada horteeda, wuxuu irdaha keenay dibiyo, iyo ubaxyo isku taxan, wuxuuna doonayay inuu dadkii badnaa la sadqeeyo. 14 Laakiin rasuulladii Barnabas iyo Bawlos markay maqleen, ayay dharkoodii jeexjeexeen, oo dadkii badnaa ku soo dhex boodeen, iyagoo ku dhawaaqaya 15 oo leh, Niman yahow, maxaad waxyaalahan u samaynaysaan? Annagu waxaannu nahay niman idinla dabiicad ah, oo waxaannu idiin keenaynaa war wanaagsan inaad ka soo jeesataan waxyaalahan aan micnaha lahayn oo u jeesataan Ilaaha nool, kaasoo sameeyey samada iyo dhulka iyo badda iyo waxyaalaha ku jira oo dhan, 16 kaasoo qarniyada tegey quruumaha oo dhan u oggolaaday inay jidadkooda ku socdaan. 17 Hase ahaatee isu maragfurla'aan iskama sii dayn, laakiin wanaag buu sameeyey, oo wuxuu samada idinka siiyey roob iyo xilliyo barwaaqo ah, isagoo qalbiyadiinna ka dherginaya cunto iyo farxad. 18 Markay waxyaalahaas yidhaahdeen, ayay dadkii badnaa dhib kaga joojiyeen inay u sadqeeyaan iyaga.

19 Laakiin waxaa Antiyokh iyo Ikoniyon ka yimid Yuhuud, oo markay dadkii badnaa yeelsiiyeen, ayay Bawlos dhagxiyeen, oo magaaladii ka jiideen, iyagoo u malaynaya inuu dhintay. 20 Laakiin intii xertii hareerihiisii taagnaayeen, ayuu kacay, markaasuu magaaladii galay; maalintii dambena wuu ka baxay oo Barnabas u raacay Derbe.

Bawlos Iyo Barnabas Waxay Ku Noqdeen Antiyokh

21 Oo markay magaaladaas injiilkii ku wacdiyeen oo kuwo badan xer ka dhigeen, ayay ku noqdeen Lustara iyo Ikoniyon iyo Antiyokh, 22 iyagoo nafihii xerta ku xoogaynaya, kuna waaninaya inay iimaanka ku sii wadaan, iyagoo ku leh, Waa inaynu dhibaatooyin badan ku galnaa boqortooyada Ilaah. 23 Oo markay iyagii kiniisad walba waayeello uga dooreen oo ay soon ku tukadeen, waxay iyagii ku ammaana geliyeen Rabbiga ay rumaysteen.

24 Markaasay sii dhex mareen Bisidiya oo yimaadeen Bamfuliya. 25 Oo kolkay ereyga kaga hadleen Berga ayay waxay tageen Ataliya; 26 meeshaasna waxay uga dhoofeen Antiyokh, taasoo ahayd meeshii iyaga lagaga ammaana geliyey nimcadii Ilaah shuqulkii ay sameeyeen aawadiis. 27 Oo markay yimaadeen oo kiniisaddii isu ururiyeen waxay uga warrameen waxyaalihii Ilaah iyaga la sameeyey oo dhan iyo siduu albaabka iimaanka ugu furay dadkii aan Yuhuudda ahayn. 28 Markaasay wakhti aan yarayn xertii la joogeen.

In Iconium

14 At Iconium(A) Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue.(B) There they spoke so effectively that a great number(C) of Jews and Greeks believed. But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the other Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.(D) So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly(E) for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.(F) The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles.(G) There was a plot afoot among both Gentiles and Jews,(H) together with their leaders, to mistreat them and stone them.(I) But they found out about it and fled(J) to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, where they continued to preach(K) the gospel.(L)

In Lystra and Derbe

In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth(M) and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed(N) 10 and called out, “Stand up on your feet!”(O) At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.(P)

11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!”(Q) 12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.(R) 13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.

14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes(S) and rushed out into the crowd, shouting: 15 “Friends, why are you doing this? We too are only human,(T) like you. We are bringing you good news,(U) telling you to turn from these worthless things(V) to the living God,(W) who made the heavens and the earth(X) and the sea and everything in them.(Y) 16 In the past, he let(Z) all nations go their own way.(AA) 17 Yet he has not left himself without testimony:(AB) He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons;(AC) he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”(AD) 18 Even with these words, they had difficulty keeping the crowd from sacrificing to them.

19 Then some Jews(AE) came from Antioch and Iconium(AF) and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul(AG) and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples(AH) had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.

The Return to Antioch in Syria

21 They preached the gospel(AI) in that city and won a large number(AJ) of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium(AK) and Antioch, 22 strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.(AL) “We must go through many hardships(AM) to enter the kingdom of God,” they said. 23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders[a](AN) for them in each church and, with prayer and fasting,(AO) committed them to the Lord,(AP) in whom they had put their trust. 24 After going through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia,(AQ) 25 and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

26 From Attalia they sailed back to Antioch,(AR) where they had been committed to the grace of God(AS) for the work they had now completed.(AT) 27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them(AU) and how he had opened a door(AV) of faith to the Gentiles. 28 And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.(AW)

  1. Acts 14:23 Or Barnabas ordained elders; or Barnabas had elders elected

14 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.

Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,

They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

And there they preached the gospel.

And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:

The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.

11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.

13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.

14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.

19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.

20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:

26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.
