Acts 13

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
在安提阿的教会中,有几位先知和教师,就是巴拿巴和称呼尼结的西面、古利奈人路求,与分封之王希律同养的马念,并扫罗。
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
他们事奉主、禁食的时候,圣灵说:要为我分派巴拿巴和扫罗,去做我召他们所做的工。
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
于是禁食祷告,按手在他们头上,就打发他们去了。
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
他们既被圣灵差遣,就下到西流基,从那里坐船往塞浦路斯去。

Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
这人常和方伯士求保罗同在。士求保罗是个通达人,他请了巴拿巴和扫罗来,要听 神的道。
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
只是那行法术的以吕马(这名翻出来就是行法术的意思)敌挡使徒,要叫方伯不信真道。
Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
扫罗又名保罗,被圣灵充满,定睛看他,
And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
说:你这充满各样诡诈奸恶,魔鬼的儿子,众善的仇敌,你混乱主的正道还不止住吗?
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
现在主的手加在你身上,你要瞎眼,暂且不见日光。他的眼睛立刻昏蒙黑暗,四下里求人拉著手领他。
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
方伯看见所做的事,很希奇主的道,就信了。
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
保罗和他的同人从帕弗开船,来到旁非利亚的别加,约翰就离开他们,回耶路撒冷去。
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
他们离了别加往前行,来到彼西底的安提阿,在安息日进会堂坐下。
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
