1 GLT وَحَدَثَ فِي إِيقُونِيَةَ أَنَّهُمَا دَخَلَا مَعًا إِلَى مَجْمَعِ ٱلْيَهُودِ وَتَكَلَّمَا، حَتَّى آمَنَ جُمْهُورٌ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ وَٱلْيُونَانِيِّينَ. BSB BSB: At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.
2 GLT وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْيَهُودَ غَيْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَرُّوا وَأَفْسَدُوا نُفُوسَ ٱلْأُمَمِ عَلَى ٱلْإِخْوَةِ. BSB BSB: But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
3 GLT فَأَقَامَا زَمَانًا طَوِيلًا يُجَاهِرَانِ بِٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَشْهَدُ لِكَلِمَةِ نِعْمَتِهِ، وَيُعْطِي أَنْ تُجْرَى آيَاتٌ وَعَجَائِبُ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمَا. BSB BSB: So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.
4 GLT فَٱنْشَقَّ جُمْهُورُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، فَكَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ مَعَ ٱلْيَهُودِ، وَبَعْضُهُمْ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولَيْنِ. BSB BSB: The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.
5 GLT فَلَمَّا حَصَلَ مِنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَٱلْيَهُودِ مَعَ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ هُجُومٌ لِيَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِمَا وَيَرْجُمُوهُمَا، BSB BSB: But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,
6 GLT شَعَرَا بِهِ، فَهَرَبَا إِلَى مَدِينَتَيْ لِيكَأُونِيَّةَ: لِسْتِرَةَ وَدَرْبَةَ، وَإِلَى ٱلْكُورَةِ ٱلْمُحِيطَةِ. BSB BSB: they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,

9 GLT هَذَا كَانَ يَسْمَعُ بُولُسَ يَتَكَلَّمُ، فَشَخَصَ إِلَيْهِ، وَإِذْ رَأَى أَنَّ لَهُ إِيمَانًا لِيُشْفَى، BSB BSB: This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.
10 GLT قَالَ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ: «قُمْ عَلَى رِجْلَيْكَ مُنْتَصِبًا!». فَوَثَبَ وَصَارَ يَمْشِي. BSB BSB: In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.

BSB BSB: When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”
12 GLT فَكَانُوا يَدْعُونَ بَرْنَابَا «زَفْسَ» وَبُولُسَ «هَرْمَسَ» إِذْ كَانَ هُوَ ٱلْمُتَقَدِّمَ فِي ٱلْكَلَامِ. BSB BSB: Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
13 GLT فَأَتَى كَاهِنُ زَفْسَ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، بِثِيرَانٍ وَأَكَالِيلَ عِنْدَ ٱلْأَبْوَابِ مَعَ ٱلْجُمُوعِ، وَكَانَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ. BSB BSB: The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.
14 GLT فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ ٱلرَّسُولَانِ، بَرْنَابَا وَبُولُسُ، مَزَّقَا ثِيَابَهُمَا، وَٱنْدَفَعَا إِلَى ٱلْجَمْعِ صَارِخَيْنِ BSB BSB: But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,
15 GLT وَقَائِلِينِ: «أَيُّهَا ٱلرِّجَالُ، لِمَاذَا تَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا؟ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا بَشَرٌ تَحْتَ آلَامٍ مِثْلُكُمْ، نُبَشِّرُكُمْ أَنْ تَرْجِعُوا مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَبَاطِيلِ إِلَى ٱلْإِلَهِ ٱلْحَيِّ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَاءَ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَٱلْبَحْرَ وَكُلَّ مَا فِيهَا، BSB BSB: “Men, why are you doing this?

17 GLT مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ نَفْسَهُ بِلَا شَاهِدٍ، وَهُوَ يَفْعَلُ خَيْرًا: يُعْطِينَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ أَمْطَارًا وَأَزْمِنَةً مُثْمِرَةً، وَيَمْلَأُ قُلُوبَنَا طَعَامًا وَسُرُورًا». BSB BSB: Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”
18 GLT وَبِقَوْلِهِمَا هَذَا كَفَّا ٱلْجُمُوعَ بِٱلْجَهْدِ عَنْ أَنْ يَذْبَحُوا لَهُمَا. BSB BSB: Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.
19 GLT ثُمَّ أَتَى يَهُودٌ مِنْ أَنْطَاكِيَةَ وَإِيقُونِيَةَ وَأَقْنَعُوا ٱلْجُمُوعَ، فَرَجَمُوا بُولُسَ وَجَرُّوهُ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، ظَانِّينَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ. BSB BSB: Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.
