¹And 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.

¹በኢቆንዮንም እንደ ቀድሞ ወደ አይሁድ ምኵራብ ገብተው ከአይሁድና ከግሪክ ሰዎች ብዙ እስኪያምኑ ድረስ ተናገሩ።

²But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.

²ያላመኑት አይሁድ ግን የአሕዛብን ልብ በወንድሞች ላይ አነሣሡ አስከፉም።

³Long 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.

³ምልክትና ድንቅ በእጃቸው ይደረግ ዘንድ እየሰጠ ለጸጋው ቃል ስለ መሰከረው ስለ ጌታ ገልጠው እየተናገሩ ረጅም ወራት ተቀመጡ።

⁴But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

⁴የከተማውም ሕዝብ ተከፍለው እኵሌቶቹ ከአይሁድ እኵሌቶቹም ከሐዋርያት ጋር ሆኑ።

⁵And 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,

⁵አሕዛብና አይሁድ ግን ከአለቆቻቸው ጋር ሊያንገላቱአቸውና ሊወግሩአቸው ባሰቡ ጊዜ፥

⁶They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

⁶አውቀው ልስጥራንና ደርቤን ወደሚባሉት ወደ ሊቃኦንያ ከተማዎች በእነርሱም ዙሪያ ወዳለው አገር ሸሹ፤

⁷And there they preached the gospel.

⁷በዚያም ወንጌልን ይሰብኩ ነበር።

⁸And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:

⁸በልስጥራንም እግሩ የሰለለ፥ ከእናቱም ማኅፀን ጀምሮ አንካሳ የሆነ፥ ከቶም ሄዶ የማያውቅ አንድ ሰው ተቀምጦ ነበር።

⁹The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

⁹ይህም ሰው ጳውሎስ ሲናገር ይሰማ ነበር፤ እርሱም ትኵር ብሎ ተመለከተውና ይድን ዘንድ እምነት እንዳለው ባየ ጊዜ፥

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

¹⁰በታላቅ ድምፅ። ቀጥ ብለህ በእግርህ ቁም አለው። ብድግ ብሎም ተንሥቶ ይመላለስ ነበር።

¹¹And 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.

¹¹ሕዝቡም ጳውሎስ ያደረገውን ባዩ ጊዜ ድምፃቸውን ከፍ አድርገው በሊቃኦንያ ቋንቋ። አማልክት ሰዎችን መስለው ወደ እኛ ወርደዋል አሉ፤

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

¹²በርናባስንም ድያ አሉት፤ ጳውሎስንም እርሱ በመናገር ዋና ስለ ነበረ ሄርሜን አሉት።

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

¹³በከተማውም ፊት ቤተ መቅደስ ያለው የድያ ካህን ኮርማዎችንና የአበባን አክሊሎች ወደ ደጃፍ አምጥቶ ከሕዝቡ ጋር ሆኖ ሊሠዋላቸው ወደደ።

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

¹⁴ሐዋርያት በርናባስና ጳውሎስ ግን ይህን በሰሙ ጊዜ ልብሳቸውን ቀደው ወደ ሕዝቡ መካከል እየጮኹ ሮጡ፥

¹⁵And 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:

¹⁵እንዲህም አሉ። እናንተ ሰዎች፥ ይህን ስለ ምን ታደርጋላችሁ? እኛ ደግሞ እንደ እናንተ የምንሰማ ሰዎች ነን፥ ከዚህም ከንቱ ነገር ሰማይንና ምድርን ባሕርንም በእነርሱም ያለውን ሁሉ ወደ ፈጠረ ወደ ሕያው እግዚአብሔር ዘወር ትሉ ዘንድ ወንጌልን እንሰብካለን።

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

¹⁶እርሱ ባለፉት ትውልዶች አሕዛብን ሁሉ በገዛ ራሳቸው ጐዳና ይሄዱ ዘንድ ተዋቸው።

¹⁷Nevertheless 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.

¹⁷ከዚህም ሁሉ ጋር መልካም ሥራ እየሠራ፥ ከሰማይ ዝናብን ፍሬ የሚሆንበትንም ወራት ሲሰጠን፥ ልባችንንም በመብልና በደስታ ሲሞላው ራሱን ያለ ምስክር አልተወም።

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

¹⁸ይህንም ብለው እንዳይሠዉላቸው ሕዝቡን በጭንቅ አስተዉአቸው።

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹አይሁድ ግን ከአንጾኪያና ከኢቆንዮን መጡ፤ ሕዝቡንም አባብለው ጳውሎስን ወገሩ የሞተም መስሎአቸው ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ ጐተቱት።

²⁰Howbeit, 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.

²⁰ደቀ መዛሙርት ግን ከበውት ሳሉ፥ ተነስቶ ወደ ከተማ ገባ። በነገውም ከበርናባስ ጋር ወደ ደርቤን ወጣ።

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

²¹በዚያችም ከተማ ወንጌልን ሰብከው እጅግ ደቀ መዛሙርትን ካደረጉ በኋላ፥ የደቀ መዛሙርትን ልብ እያጸኑ በሃይማኖትም ጸንተው እንዲኖሩ እየመከሩና። ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት በብዙ መከራ እንገባ ዘንድ ያስፈልገናል እያሉ፥ ወደ ልስጥራን ወደ ኢቆንዮንም ወደ አንጾኪያም ተመለሱ።

²²Confirming 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.

²³በየቤተ ክርስቲያኑም ሽማግሌዎችን ከሾሙላቸው በኋላ ጦመውም ከጸለዩ በኋላ፥ ላመኑበት ለጌታ አደራ ሰጡአቸው።

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

²⁴በጲስድያም አልፈው ወደ ጵንፍልያ መጡ፥

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

²⁵በጴርጌንም ቃሉን ከተናገሩ በኋላ ወደ አጣልያ ወረዱ፥

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

²⁶ከዚያም ስለ ፈጸሙት ሥራ ለእግዚአብሔር ጸጋ አደራ ወደ ተሰጡበት ወደ አንጾኪያ በመርከብ ሄዱ።

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

²⁷በደረሱም ጊዜ ቤተ ክርስቲያኑን ሰብስበው እግዚአብሔር ከእነርሱ ጋር ያደረገውን ሁሉ ለአሕዛብም የሃይማኖትን ደጅ እንደ ከፈተላቸው ተናገሩ።

²⁷And 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.

²⁸ከደቀ መዛሙርትም ጋር አያሌ ቀን ተቀመጡ።

²⁸And there they abode long time with the disciples.
