1Now there were in the church that was at Antioch [speedy as a chariot] certain prophets and teachers; as Bar-Nabba [son of rest], and Shim’on [he who hears] that was called Niger [black], and Lucius [light: bright: white] of Cyrene [supremacy of the bridle], and Menachem [comforter], which had been brought up with Herod [heroic] the tetrarch, and Sha’ul [desired]. 2As they ministered to the Lord - Kurios, and fasted, the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] said, Separate me Bar-Nabba [son of rest] and Sha’ul [desired] for the work whereunto I have called them. 3And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid [their] hands on them, they sent [them] away.

4So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], departed unto Seleucia [white light]; and from there they sailed to Cyprus [love: a blossom]. 5And when they were at Salamis [salt], they preached the word of God-The Father in the synagogues of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah]: and they had also Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] to [their] minister. 6And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos [boiling or hot], they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jewish person , whose name [was] Bar-Yeshua [son of salvation]: 7Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius [earth-born: a wonder] Paulus [small or little], a prudent man; who called for Bar-Nabba [son of rest] and Sha’ul [desired], and desired to hear the word of God-The Father. 8But Elymas [a wise man] the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9Then Sha’ul [desired], (who also [is called] Sha’ul [desired],) filled with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh], set his eyes on him, 10And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, [youⁱ] child of the devil, [youⁱ] enemy of all righteousness, will youⁱ not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord - Kurios? 11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord - Kurios [is] upon youⁱ, and youⁱ shall 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. 12Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord - Kurios.

13Now when Sha’ul [desired] and his company loosed from Paphos [boiling or hot], they came to Perga [earthy] in Pamphylia [of every tribe]: and Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] departing from them returned to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. 14But when they departed from Perga [earthy], they came to Antioch [speedy as a chariot] in Pisidia [pitchy], and went into the synagogue on the Shabbat [rest] day, and sat down. 15And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, [You^2f] men [and] brethren, if you^2f have any word of Exhortation (encouragement; counsel) for the people, say on. 16Then Sha’ul [desired] stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand said, Men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God], and you^2f that fear God-The Father, give audience. 17The God-The Father of this people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God] chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt) [the black land, The Narrow Place], and with an high arm brought he them out of it. 18And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness. 19And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Kena’an [lowland], he divided their land to them by lot. 20And after that he gave [unto them] judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Sh’mu’el [His name is El] the prophet. 21And afterward they desired a king: and God-The Father gave unto them Sha’ul [desired] the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], by the space of forty years. 22And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David [Beloved] to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David [Beloved] the [son] of Yishai [God’s gift], a man after my own heart, which shall fulfill all my will. 23Of this man's seed has God-The Father according to [his] promise raised unto Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God] a Saviour, Yeshua [God is Salvation]: 24When Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heal Of God]. 25And as Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think you^2f that I am? I am not [he]. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of [his] feet I am not worthy to loose.

26Men [and] brethren, children of the stock of Avraham [Exalted Father], and whosoever among you fears God-The Father, to you is the word of this salvation sent. 27For they that dwell at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Shabbat [rest] day, they have fulfilled [them] in condemning [him]. 28And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet desired they Pilate [armed with a spear] that he should be slain. 29And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a sepulchre. 30But God-The Father raised him from the dead: 31And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galil [circuit, district] to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], who are his witnesses unto the people. 32And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, 33God-The Father has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Yeshua [God is Salvation]again; as it is also written in the second Psalm (sacred song about or to God), youⁱ are my Son, this day have I begotten youⁱ. 34And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, [now] no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David [Beloved]. 35For what reason he says also in another [Psalm (sacred song about or to God)], youⁱ shall not suffer (allow, to let, permit) yourⁱ Holy One to see corruption. 36For David [Beloved], after he had served his own generation by the will of God-The Father, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 37But he, whom God-The Father raised again, saw no corruption. 38Be it known unto you therefore, men [and] brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you^2f could not be justified by the law of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters]. 40Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41Behold, you^2f despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you^2f shall assuredly not (by no means) believe, though a man declare it unto you.

42And when the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] were gone out of the synagogue, the Goyim [Gentiles] besought that these words might be preached to them the next Shabbat [rest]. 43Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] and religious proselytes followed Sha’ul [desired] and Bar-Nabba [son of rest]: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God-The Father.

44And the next Shabbat [rest] day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God-The Father. 45But when the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Sha’ul [desired], contradicting and blaspheming. 46Then Sha’ul [desired] and Bar-Nabba [son of rest] waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God-The Father should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you^2f put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Goyim [Gentiles].

47For so has the Lord - Kurios commanded us, [saying], I have set youⁱ to be a light of the Goyim [Gentiles], that youⁱ should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

48And when the Goyim [Gentiles] heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord - Kurios: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. 49And the word of the Lord - Kurios was published throughout all the region. 50But the Y’hudim (Judeans) [praised of Yah] stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Sha’ul [desired] and Bar-Nabba [son of rest], and expelled them out of their coasts. 51But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium [little image]. 52And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh].
