Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
1ησαν δε τινεσ εν αντιοχεια κατα την ουσαν εκκλησιαν προφηται και διδασκαλοι ο τε βαρναβασ και συμεων ο καλουμενοσ νιγερ και λουκιοσ ο κυρηναιοσ μαναην τε ηρωδου του τετραρχου συντροφοσ και σαυλοσ
2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
2λειτουργουντων δε αυτων τω κυριω και νηστευοντων ειπεν το πνευμα το αγιον αφορισατε δη μοι τον βαρναβαν και τον σαυλον εισ το εργον ο προσκεκλημαι αυτουσ
3And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
3τοτε νηστευσαντεσ και προσευξαμενοι και επιθεντεσ τασ χειρασ αυτοισ απελυσαν
4So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
4ουτοι μεν ουν εκπεμφθεντεσ υπο του πνευματοσ του αγιου κατηλθον εισ την σελευκειαν εκειθεν δε απεπλευσαν εισ την κυπρον
5When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.
5και γενομενοι εν σαλαμινι κατηγγελλον τον λογον του θεου εν ταισ συναγωγαισ των ιουδαιων ειχον δε και ιωαννην υπηρετην
6They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
6διελθοντεσ δε την νησον αχρι παφου ευρον τινα μαγον ψευδοπροφητην ιουδαιον ω ονομα βαριησουσ
7an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.
7οσ ην συν τω ανθυπατω σεργιω παυλω ανδρι συνετω ουτοσ προσκαλεσαμενοσ βαρναβαν και σαυλον επεζητησεν ακουσαι τον λογον του θεου
8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
8ανθιστατο δε αυτοισ ελυμασ ο μαγοσ ουτωσ γαρ μεθερμηνευεται το ονομα αυτου ζητων διαστρεψαι τον ανθυπατον απο τησ πιστεωσ
9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas
9σαυλοσ δε ο και παυλοσ πλησθεισ πνευματοσ αγιου και ατενισασ εισ αυτον
10and said, “O child of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, you are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
10ειπεν ω πληρησ παντοσ δολου και πασησ ραδιουργιασ υιε διαβολου εχθρε πασησ δικαιοσυνησ ου παυση διαστρεφων τασ οδουσ κυριου τασ ευθειασ
11Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
11και νυν ιδου χειρ κυριου επι σε και εση τυφλοσ μη βλεπων τον ηλιον αχρι καιρου παραχρημα δε επεπεσεν επ αυτον αχλυσ και σκοτοσ και περιαγων εζητει χειραγωγουσ
12When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
12τοτε ιδων ο ανθυπατοσ το γεγονοσ επιστευσεν εκπλησσομενοσ επι τη διδαχη του κυριου
13After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
13αναχθεντεσ δε απο τησ παφου οι περι τον παυλον ηλθον εισ περγην τησ παμφυλιασ ιωαννησ δε αποχωρησασ απ αυτων υπεστρεψεν εισ ιεροσολυμα
14And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.
14αυτοι δε διελθοντεσ απο τησ περγησ παρεγενοντο εισ αντιοχειαν τησ πισιδιασ και εισελθοντεσ εισ την συναγωγην τη ημερα των σαββατων εκαθισαν
15After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”
15μετα δε την αναγνωσιν του νομου και των προφητων απεστειλαν οι αρχισυναγωγοι προσ αυτουσ λεγοντεσ ανδρεσ αδελφοι ει εστιν λογοσ εν υμιν παρακλησεωσ προσ τον λαον λεγετε
16Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
16αναστασ δε παυλοσ και κατασεισασ τη χειρι ειπεν ανδρεσ ισραηλιται και οι φοβουμενοι τον θεον ακουσατε
17The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.
17ο θεοσ του λαου τουτου εξελεξατο τουσ πατερασ ημων και τον λαον υψωσεν εν τη παροικια εν γη αιγυπτω και μετα βραχιονοσ υψηλου εξηγαγεν αυτουσ εξ αυτησ
18He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
18και ωσ τεσσαρακονταετη χρονον ετροποφορησεν αυτουσ εν τη ερημω
19And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
19και καθελων εθνη επτα εν γη χανααν κατεκληρονομησεν αυτοισ την γην αυτων
20All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
20και μετα ταυτα ωσ ετεσιν τετρακοσιοισ και πεντηκοντα εδωκεν κριτασ εωσ σαμουηλ του προφητου
21Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
21κακειθεν ητησαντο βασιλεα και εδωκεν αυτοισ ο θεοσ τον σαουλ υιον κισ ανδρα εκ φυλησ βενιαμιν ετη τεσσαρακοντα
22After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’
22και μεταστησασ αυτον ηγειρεν αυτοισ τον δαυιδ εισ βασιλεα ω και ειπεν μαρτυρησασ ευρον δαυιδ τον του ιεσσαι ανδρα κατα την καρδιαν μου οσ ποιησει παντα τα θεληματα μου
23From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.
23τουτου ο θεοσ απο του σπερματοσ κατ επαγγελιαν ηγαγεν τω ισραηλ σωτηριαν
24Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
24προκηρυξαντοσ ιωαννου προ προσωπου τησ εισοδου αυτου βαπτισμα μετανοιασ τω ισραηλ
25As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But He is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
25ωσ δε επληρου ο ιωαννησ τον δρομον ελεγεν τινα με υπονοειτε ειναι ουκ ειμι εγω αλλ ιδου ερχεται μετ εμε ου ουκ ειμι αξιοσ το υποδημα των ποδων λυσαι
26Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
26ανδρεσ αδελφοι υιοι γενουσ αβρααμ και οι εν υμιν φοβουμενοι τον θεον υμιν ο λογοσ τησ σωτηριασ ταυτησ απεσταλη
27The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
27οι γαρ κατοικουντεσ εν ιερουσαλημ και οι αρχοντεσ αυτων τουτον αγνοησαντεσ και τασ φωνασ των προφητων τασ κατα παν σαββατον αναγινωσκομενασ κριναντεσ επληρωσαν
28And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
28και μηδεμιαν αιτιαν θανατου ευροντεσ ητησαντο πιλατον αναιρεθηναι αυτον
29When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
29ωσ δε ετελεσαν παντα τα περι αυτου γεγραμμενα καθελοντεσ απο του ξυλου εθηκαν εισ μνημειον
30But God raised Him from the dead,
30ο δε θεοσ ηγειρεν αυτον εκ νεκρων
31and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.
31οσ ωφθη επι ημερασ πλειουσ τοισ συναναβασιν αυτω απο τησ γαλιλαιασ εισ ιερουσαλημ οιτινεσ εισιν μαρτυρεσ αυτου προσ τον λαον
32And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
32και ημεισ υμασ ευαγγελιζομεθα την προσ τουσ πατερασ επαγγελιαν γενομενην οτι ταυτην ο θεοσ εκπεπληρωκεν τοισ τεκνοισ αυτων ημιν αναστησασ ιησουν
33He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’
33ωσ και εν τω ψαλμω τω δευτερω γεγραπται υιοσ μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε
34In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’
34οτι δε ανεστησεν αυτον εκ νεκρων μηκετι μελλοντα υποστρεφειν εισ διαφθοραν ουτωσ ειρηκεν οτι δωσω υμιν τα οσια δαυιδ τα πιστα
35So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
35διο και εν ετερω λεγει ου δωσεισ τον οσιον σου ιδειν διαφθοραν
36For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.
36δαυιδ μεν γαρ ιδια γενεα υπηρετησασ τη του θεου βουλη εκοιμηθη και προσετεθη προσ τουσ πατερασ αυτου και ειδεν διαφθοραν
37But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
37ον δε ο θεοσ ηγειρεν ουκ ειδεν διαφθοραν
38Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
38γνωστον ουν εστω υμιν ανδρεσ αδελφοι οτι δια τουτου υμιν αφεσισ αμαρτιων καταγγελλεται
39Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
39και απο παντων ων ουκ ηδυνηθητε εν τω νομω μωυσεωσ δικαιωθηναι εν τουτω πασ ο πιστευων δικαιουται
40Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:
40βλεπετε ουν μη επελθη εφ υμασ το ειρημενον εν τοισ προφηταισ
41‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”
41ιδετε οι καταφρονηται και θαυμασατε και αφανισθητε οτι εργον εγω εργαζομαι εν ταισ ημεραισ υμων ο ου μη πιστευσητε εαν τισ εκδιηγηται υμιν
42As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.
42εξιοντων δε εκ τησ συναγωγησ των ιουδαιων παρεκαλουν τα εθνη εισ το μεταξυ σαββατον λαληθηναι αυτοισ τα ρηματα
43After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
43λυθεισησ δε τησ συναγωγησ ηκολουθησαν πολλοι των ιουδαιων και των σεβομενων προσηλυτων τω παυλω και τω βαρναβα οιτινεσ προσλαλουντεσ επειθον αυτουσ επιμενειν τη χαριτι του θεου
44On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
44τω τε ερχομενω σαββατω σχεδον πασα η πολισ συνηχθη ακουσαι τον λογον του θεου
45But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.
45ιδοντεσ δε οι ιουδαιοι τουσ οχλουσ επλησθησαν ζηλου και αντελεγον τοισ υπο του παυλου λεγομενοισ αντιλεγοντεσ και βλασφημουντεσ
46Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.
46παρρησιασαμενοι δε ο παυλοσ και ο βαρναβασ ειπον υμιν ην αναγκαιον πρωτον λαληθηναι τον λογον του θεου επειδη δε απωθεισθε αυτον και ουκ αξιουσ κρινετε εαυτουσ τησ αιωνιου ζωησ ιδου στρεφομεθα εισ τα εθνη
47For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
47ουτωσ γαρ εντεταλται ημιν ο κυριοσ τεθεικα σε εισ φωσ εθνων του ειναι σε εισ σωτηριαν εωσ εσχατου τησ γησ
48When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.
48ακουοντα δε τα εθνη εχαιρεν και εδοξαζον τον λογον του κυριου και επιστευσαν οσοι ησαν τεταγμενοι εισ ζωην αιωνιον
49And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.
49διεφερετο δε ο λογοσ του κυριου δι ολησ τησ χωρασ
50The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.
50οι δε ιουδαιοι παρωτρυναν τασ σεβομενασ γυναικασ και τασ ευσχημονασ και τουσ πρωτουσ τησ πολεωσ και επηγειραν διωγμον επι τον παυλον και τον βαρναβαν και εξεβαλον αυτουσ απο των οριων αυτων
51So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
51οι δε εκτιναξαμενοι τον κονιορτον των ποδων αυτων επ αυτουσ ηλθον εισ ικονιον
52And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
52οι δε μαθηται επληρουντο χαρασ και πνευματοσ αγιου
