| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | በኢቆንዮንም እንደ ቀድሞ ወደ አይሁድ ምኵራብ ገብተው ከአይሁድና ከግሪክ ሰዎች ብዙ እስኪያምኑ ድረስ ተናገሩ። | And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. |
| 2 | ያላመኑት አይሁድ ግን የአሕዛብን ልብ በወንድሞች ላይ አነሣሡ አስከፉም። | But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. |
| 3 | ምልክትና ድንቅ በእጃቸው ይደረግ ዘንድ እየሰጠ ለጸጋው ቃል ስለ መሰከረው ስለ ጌታ ገልጠው እየተናገሩ ረጅም ወራት ተቀመጡ። | Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. |
| 4 | የከተማውም ሕዝብ ተከፍለው እኵሌቶቹ ከአይሁድ እኵሌቶቹም ከሐዋርያት ጋር ሆኑ። | But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. |
| 5 | አሕዛብና አይሁድ ግን ከአለቆቻቸው ጋር ሊያንገላቱአቸውና ሊወግሩአቸው ባሰቡ ጊዜ፥ | And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, |
| 6 | አውቀው ልስጥራንና ደርቤን ወደሚባሉት ወደ ሊቃኦንያ ከተማዎች በእነርሱም ዙሪያ ወዳለው አገር ሸሹ፤ | They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: |
| 7 | በዚያም ወንጌልን ይሰብኩ ነበር። | And there they preached the gospel. |
| 8 | በልስጥራንም እግሩ የሰለለ፥ ከእናቱም ማኅፀን ጀምሮ አንካሳ የሆነ፥ ከቶም ሄዶ የማያውቅ አንድ ሰው ተቀምጦ ነበር። | And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: |
| 9 | ይህም ሰው ጳውሎስ ሲናገር ይሰማ ነበር፤ እርሱም ትኵር ብሎ ተመለከተውና ይድን ዘንድ እምነት እንዳለው ባየ ጊዜ፥ | The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, |
| 10 | በታላቅ ድምፅ። ቀጥ ብለህ በእግርህ ቁም አለው። ብድግ ብሎም ተንሥቶ ይመላለስ ነበር። | Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. |
| 11 | ሕዝቡም ጳውሎስ ያደረገውን ባዩ ጊዜ ድምፃቸውን ከፍ አድርገው በሊቃኦንያ ቋንቋ። አማልክት ሰዎችን መስለው ወደ እኛ ወርደዋል አሉ፤ | And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. |
| 12 | በርናባስንም ድያ አሉት፤ ጳውሎስንም እርሱ በመናገር ዋና ስለ ነበረ ሄርሜን አሉት። | And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. |
| 13 | በከተማውም ፊት ቤተ መቅደስ ያለው የድያ ካህን ኮርማዎችንና የአበባን አክሊሎች ወደ ደጃፍ አምጥቶ ከሕዝቡ ጋር ሆኖ ሊሠዋላቸው ወደደ። | Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. |
| 14 | ሐዋርያት በርናባስና ጳውሎስ ግን ይህን በሰሙ ጊዜ ልብሳቸውን ቀደው ወደ ሕዝቡ መካከል እየጮኹ ሮጡ፥ | Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, |
| 15 | እንዲህም አሉ። እናንተ ሰዎች፥ ይህን ስለ ምን ታደርጋላችሁ? እኛ ደግሞ እንደ እናንተ የምንሰማ ሰዎች ነን፥ ከዚህም ከንቱ ነገር ሰማይንና ምድርን ባሕርንም በእነርሱም ያለውን ሁሉ ወደ ፈጠረ ወደ ሕያው እግዚአብሔር ዘወር ትሉ ዘንድ ወንጌልን እንሰብካለን። | And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are ther |
| 16 | እርሱ ባለፉት ትውልዶች አሕዛብን ሁሉ በገዛ ራሳቸው ጐዳና ይሄዱ ዘንድ ተዋቸው። | Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. |
| 17 | ከዚህም ሁሉ ጋር መልካም ሥራ እየሠራ፥ ከሰማይ ዝናብን ፍሬ የሚሆንበትንም ወራት ሲሰጠን፥ ልባችንንም በመብልና በደስታ ሲሞላው ራሱን ያለ ምስክር አልተወም። | Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. |
| 18 | ይህንም ብለው እንዳይሠዉላቸው ሕዝቡን በጭንቅ አስተዉአቸው። | And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them. |
| 19 | አይሁድ ግን ከአንጾኪያና ከኢቆንዮን መጡ፤ ሕዝቡንም አባብለው ጳውሎስን ወገሩ የሞተም መስሎአቸው ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ ጐተቱት። | And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. |
| 20 | ደቀ መዛሙርት ግን ከበውት ሳሉ፥ ተነስቶ ወደ ከተማ ገባ። በነገውም ከበርናባስ ጋር ወደ ደርቤን ወጣ። | Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. |
| 21 | በዚያችም ከተማ ወንጌልን ሰብከው እጅግ ደቀ መዛሙርትን ካደረጉ በኋላ፥ የደቀ መዛሙርትን ልብ እያጸኑ በሃይማኖትም ጸንተው እንዲኖሩ እየመከሩና። ወደ እግዚአብሔር መንግሥት በብዙ መከራ እንገባ ዘንድ ያስፈልገናል እያሉ፥ ወደ ልስጥራን ወደ ኢቆንዮንም ወደ አንጾኪያም ተመለሱ። | And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, |
| 23 | በየቤተ ክርስቲያኑም ሽማግሌዎችን ከሾሙላቸው በኋላ ጦመውም ከጸለዩ በኋላ፥ ላመኑበት ለጌታ አደራ ሰጡአቸው። | And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. |
| 24 | በጲስድያም አልፈው ወደ ጵንፍልያ መጡ፥ | And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. |
| 25 | በጴርጌንም ቃሉን ከተናገሩ በኋላ ወደ አጣልያ ወረዱ፥ | And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: |
| 26 | ከዚያም ስለ ፈጸሙት ሥራ ለእግዚአብሔር ጸጋ አደራ ወደ ተሰጡበት ወደ አንጾኪያ በመርከብ ሄዱ። | And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. |
| 27 | በደረሱም ጊዜ ቤተ ክርስቲያኑን ሰብስበው እግዚአብሔር ከእነርሱ ጋር ያደረገውን ሁሉ ለአሕዛብም የሃይማኖትን ደጅ እንደ ከፈተላቸው ተናገሩ። | And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. |
| 28 | ከደቀ መዛሙርትም ጋር አያሌ ቀን ተቀመጡ። | And there they abode long time with the disciples. |
| 22 | Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. |
