Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
14:4
ወተናፈቁኵሉሀገርመንፈቆሙመንገለአይሁድወቦእለሂኀበሐዋርያት።
城裏的眾人就分了黨,有附從猶太人的,有附從使徒的。
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
14:5
ወተበአሱአይሁድወአረሚምስለመላእክቲሆሙወአኀዙይጻዐሉወይትዋገሩ።
那時,外邦人和猶太人,並他們的官長,一齊擁上來,要凌辱使徒,用石頭打他們。
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
14:6
ወርእዮሙሐዋርያትጐዩውስተአህጉረሊቃኦንያወልስጥራንወደርቤንወውስተአድያም።
使徒知道了,就逃往呂高尼的路司得、特庇兩個城和周圍地方去,
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
14:12
ወሰመይዎለበርናባስድያወለጳውሎስሄርሜንእስመውእቱሊቀትምህርቱ።
於是稱巴拿巴為宙斯,稱保羅為希耳米,因為他說話領首。
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14:14
ወሰሚዖሙሐዋርያትበርናባስ፥ ወጳውሎስሰጠጡአልባሲሆሙወሖሩኀበአሕዛብወከልሑሎሙ።
巴拿巴、保羅二使徒聽見,就撕開衣裳,跳進眾人中間,喊着說:
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
14:16
ወኀደጎሙለኵሎሙአሕዛብይሑሩበግዕዞሙበዘቀዲሙመዋዕል።
他在從前的世代,任憑萬國各行其道;
who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
14:18
ወዘንተብሂሎሙበዕፁብአኅደግዎሙለአሕዛብኢይሡዑሎሙ።
二人說了這些話,僅僅地攔住眾人不獻祭與他們。
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
14:20
ወዖድዎአርዳኢሁወተንሥአወቦአምስሌሆሙሀገረወበሳኒታሖረምስለበርናባስሀገረደርቤን።
門徒正圍着他,他就起來,走進城去。 回到敘利亞的安提阿 第二天,同巴拿巴往特庇去,
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
14:21
ወመሀሩበይእቲሀገርወአብኡብዙኃነወገብኡሀገረልስጥራንወኢቆንዮንወአንጾኪያ።
對那城裏的人傳了福音,使好些人作門徒,就回路司得、以哥念、安提阿去,
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
14:28
ወነበሩጕንዱየመዋዕለምስለአርድእት።
二人就在那裏同門徒住了多日。
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
