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.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

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?

As nish cur-my-ner, ta laue yn Chiarn ort, as bee oo doal, cha vaik oo yn ghrian son earish. As chelleeragh huitt kay as dorraghys er; as hie eh mygeayrt râsey shirrey peccagh dy gholl ny chione.

Jeh sluight y dooinney shoh ta Jee, cordail rish e ghialdyn, er hroggal seose da Israel Saualtagh Yeesey:

But God raised him from the dead:

And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

As ta shinyn fockley magh diu yn sushtal gherjoilagh; eer yn gialdyn va jeant da ny ayraghyn,

And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

Kys dy vel Jee er n'yannoo shen mie dooinyn yn chloan oc, ayns dy vel eh er hroggal seose Yeesey reesht; myr te myrgeddin scruit ayns yn nah psalm, Oo my vac, jiu ta mee er dty gheddyn.

God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

As mychione dy hrog eh seose eh veih ny merriu as nagh row eh arragh dy hyndaa gys loauid, dooyrt eh er yn aght shoh, Ver yms diu myghinyn shickyr Ghavid.

And 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.

Shen-y-fa t'eh gra myrgeddin ayns psalm elley, Cha lhig oo da dty Er-casherick loauid y akin.

Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Son erreish da David rish e lhing hene v'er hirveish aigney Yee, huitt eh ny chadley, as v'eh er ny oanluckey marish e ayraghyn, as honnick e loauid:

For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

Agh eshyn hrog Jee seose reesht, cha vaik eh loauid.

But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

Toig-jee shiuish er-y-fa shen, gheiney as vraaraghyn, dy nee ny hrooidsyn ta leih peccaghyn er ny phreacheil diu:

Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

As liorishyn ta ooilley ny ta credjal er ny heyrey veih dy chooilley nhee voue nagh voddagh shiu v'er ny heyrey liorish leigh Voses.

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Cur-jee twoaie er-y-fa shen, nagh jig shen erriuish ta ny phadeyryn er loayrt, gra,

Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

Cur-jee my-ner, shiuish ghannidee, gow-jee yindys, as jean-jee cherraghtyn: son ta mish gobbraghey obbyr ayns ny laghyn euish, obbyr nagh jean shiu er aght erbee y chredjal, ga dy beagh eh er ny hickyraghey diu.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

As myr va ny Hewnyn goll magh ass y synagogue, ghuee ny Ashoonee dy beagh ny goan shoh er ny phreacheil daue yn nah ghoonaght.

And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

As erreish da'n chaglym-cooidjagh v'er skeayley, deiyr ymmodee jeh ny Hewnyn, as jeh ny proselyteyn crauee er Paul as Barnabas; as loayr ad roo, as choyrlee ad ad dy hannaghtyn ayns grayse Yee.

Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

As yn nah ghoonaght haink faggys yn slane ard valley cooidjagh dy chlashtyn goo Yee.

And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

Agh tra honnick ny Hewnyn lheid y chaglym dy leih, daase ad feer jymmoosagh as loayr ad noi ny reddyn va Paul dy livrey, cur eddin da, as oltooaney eh.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

Eisht daase Paul as Barnabas dunnal as dooyrt ad, Ve ymmyrchagh goo Yee dy ve hoshiaght er ny phreacheil diuish: agh fakin dy vel shiu cur cooyl rish, as briwnys shiu hene neu-feeu jeh'n vea veayn, cur-my-ner ta shinyn chyndaa gys ny Ashoonee.

Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

Son shen myr ta'n Chiarn er chur sarey dooin, gra, Ta mee er hoiaghey oo seose dy ve dty hoilshey da ny Ashoonee, as dy ve son saualtys gys ardjyn sodjey magh y thallooin.

For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

As tra cheayll ny Ashoonee shoh ghow ad boggey, as ren ad goo yn Chiarn y ghloyraghey: as whilleen as va feeu as aarloo son y vea veayn ren ad credjal.

And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

As va goo yn Chiarn er ny ockley magh trooid ooilley yn cheer.

And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

Agh ghreinnee ny Hewnyn ny mraane seyrey va jeh'n chredjue oc, as deiney ooasle yn ard-valley nyn 'oï oc, as dirree ad seose noi Paul as Barnabas, as deiyr ad ad ass ny ardjyn oc.

But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

Agh chrie adsyn yn joan jeh nyn gassyn nyn 'oi oc, as haink ad gys Iconium.

But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

As va ny Creesteenyn lhieent lesh boggey as y Spyrryd Noa.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
