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

¹And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed.

²ያላመኑት አይሁድ ግን የአሕዛብን ልብ በወንድሞች ላይ አነሣሡ አስከፉም።

²But the Jews who did not believe stirred up the minds of [those of] the nations and made [them] evil-affected against the brethren.

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

³They stayed therefore a good while, speaking boldly, [confiding] in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace, giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

⁴የከተማውም ሕዝብ ተከፍለው እኵሌቶቹ ከአይሁድ እኵሌቶቹም ከሐዋርያት ጋር ሆኑ።

⁴And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews and some with the apostles.

⁵አሕዛብና አይሁድ ግን ከአለቆቻቸው ጋር ሊያንገላቱአቸውና ሊወግሩአቸው ባሰቡ ጊዜ፥

⁵And when an assault was making, both of [those of] the nations and [the] Jews with their rulers, to use [them] ill and stone them,

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

⁶they, being aware of it, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country,

⁷በዚያም ወንጌልን ይሰብኩ ነበር።

⁷and there they were announcing the glad tidings.

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

⁸And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, sat, [being] lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

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

⁹This [man] heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

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

¹⁰said with a loud voice, Rise up straight upon thy feet: and he sprang up and walked.

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

¹¹But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.

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

¹²And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury, because he took the lead in speaking.

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

¹³And the priest of Jupiter who was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the gates, would have done sacrifice along with the crowds.

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

¹⁴But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having heard [it], rent their garments, and rushed out to the crowd, crying

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።

¹⁵and saying, Men, why do ye these things? *We* also are men of like passions with you, preaching to you to turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things in them;

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

¹⁶who in the past generations suffered all the nations to go in their own ways,

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

¹⁷though indeed he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

¹⁸ይህንም ብለው እንዳይሠዉላቸው ሕዝቡን በጭንቅ አስተዉአቸው።

¹⁸And saying these things, they with difficulty kept the crowds from sacrificing to them.

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

¹⁹But there came Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds and stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to have died.

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

²⁰But while the disciples encircled him, he rose up and entered into the city. And on the morrow he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

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።

²¹And having announced the glad tidings to that city, and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

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

²²establishing the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁴በጲስድያም አልፈው ወደ ጵንፍልያ መጡ፥

²³And having chosen them elders in each assembly, having prayed with fastings, they committed them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.

²⁵በጴርጌንም ቃሉን ከተናገሩ በኋላ ወደ አጣልያ ወረዱ፥

²⁴And having passed through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia,

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

²⁵and having spoken the word in Perga, they came down to Attalia;

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

²⁶and thence they sailed away to Antioch, whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

²⁸ከደቀ መዛሙርትም ጋር አያሌ ቀን ተቀመጡ።

²⁷And having arrived, and having brought together the assembly, they related to them all that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

²⁸And they stayed no little time with the disciples.
