14 Simon told, how God visited, first to take (out) of heathen men, a people to his name. Simon told, how first God visited, to take (out) of (or from among) (the) heathen men a people to his name. (Simon told, how God first visited, to take, or to choose, from among the Gentiles, a people to his name.)
15 And the words of (the) prophets accord to him, as it is written,
16 After this I shall turn again (or After this I shall return), and build the tabernacle of David, that fell down; and I shall build again the cast-down things of it, and I shall raise it (up);
17 that other men seek the Lord, and all folks, on whom my name is called to help, or in-called, (or so that other men seek the Lord, yea, all the peoples and nations, who call on my name for help); the Lord doing this thing, saith.
18 From the (beginning of the) world, the work of the Lord is known to the Lord. (From long ago, or from the creation of the world, the Lord’s work was made known.)
19 For which thing I deem them that of (the) heathen men be converted to God, to be not dis-eased or unquieted,
20 but to write to them, that they abstain them from (the) defoulings of maumets or of simulacra, and from fornication, and strangled things, and blood. (but to write to them, that they abstain themselves from the defilements of idols, that is, from food offered to idols, and from fornication, and from strangled things, and from blood.)
