Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain faithful Jewish woman, but of a Greek father,
paulo darbbIlustrAnagarayorupasthitobhavat tatra tImathiyanAmA shiShya eka AsIt; sa vishvAsinyA yihUdIyAyA yoShito garbbhajAtaH kintu tasya pitAnyadeshIyalokaH|
2 who was well reported of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium.
sa jano lustrA-ikaniyanagarasthAnAM bhrAtR^iNAM samIpepi sukhyAtimAn AsIt|
3 Paul wanted this man to go forth with him. And having taken him, he circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those regions, for they had all seen that his father was a Greek.

4 And as they were going through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.
tataH paraM te nagare nagare bhramitvA yirUshAlamasthaiH preritai rlokaprAchInaishcha nirUpitaM yad vyavasthApatraM tadanusAreNAcharituM lokebhyastad dattavantaH|
5 Indeed therefore the congregations were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6 But having passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
teShu phrugiyAgAlAtiyAdeshamadhyena gateShu satsu pavitra AtmA tAn AshiyAdeshe kathAM prakAshayituM pratiShiddhavAn|
7 having come toward Mysia, they attempted to go toward Bithynia. And the Spirit did not allow them.
tathA musiyAdesha upasthAya bithuniyAM gantuM tairudyoge kR^ite AtmA tAn nAnvamanyata|
8 And after passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
tasmAt te musiyAdeshaM parityajya troyAnagaraM gatvA samupasthitAH|
9 And a vision appeared to Paul during the night. A certain Macedonian man was standing, imploring him, and saying, After crossing over into Macedonia, help us.
rAtrau paulaH svapne dR^iShTavAn eko mAkidaniyalokastiShThan vinayaM kR^itvA tasmai kathayati, mAkidaniyAdesham AgatyAsmAn upakurvviti|
10 And after he saw the vision, straightaway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord called us to preach the good news to them.
tasyetthaM svapnadarshanAt prabhustaddeshIyalokAn prati susaMvAdaM prachArayitum asmAn AhUyatIti nishchitaM buddhvA vayaM tUrNaM mAkidaniyAdeshaM gantum udyogam akurmma|
11 Therefore, having launched from Troas, we took a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis,
tataH paraM vayaM troyAnagarAd prasthAya R^ijumArgeNa sAmathrAkiyopadvIpena gatvA pare. ahani niyApalinagara upasthitAH|
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a principle city of the district of Macedonia colony. And we were in the same city remaining some days.
tasmAd gatvA mAkidaniyAntarvvartti romIyavasatisthAnaM yat philipInAmapradhAnanagaraM tatropasthAya katipayadinAni tatra sthitavantaH|
13 And on the sabbath day we went outside the city beside a river, where it was customary for prayer to be. And having sat down, we spoke to the women who came together.
vishrAmavAre nagarAd bahi rgatvA nadItaTe yatra prArthanAchAra AsIt tatropavishya samAgatA nArIH prati kathAM prAchArayAma|
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, a woman who worshiped God, was listening, whose heart the Lord opened to heed the things being spoken by Paul.
tataH thuyAtIrAnagarIyA dhUSharAmbaravikrAyiNI ludiyAnAmikA yA IshvarasevikA yoShit shrotrINAM madhya AsIt tayA pauloktavAkyAni yad gR^ihyante tadarthaM prabhustasyA manodvAraM muktavAn|
15 And when she was immersed, and her household, she urged us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, after coming into my house, remain. And she constrained us.
ataH sA yoShit saparivArA majjitA satI vinayaM kR^itvA kathitavatI, yuShmAkaM vichArAd yadi prabhau vishvAsinI jAtAhaM tarhi mama gR^iham Agatya tiShThata| itthaM sA yatnenAsmAn asthApayat|
16 And it came to pass, as we were going to prayer, for a certain servant girl having a spirit of divination to meet us, who brought her masters much business by soothsaying.

17 This woman having followed Paul and us was crying out, saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.
sAsmAkaM paulasya cha pashchAd etya prochchaiH kathAmimAM kathitavatI, manuShyA ete sarvvoparisthasyeshvarasya sevakAH santo. asmAn prati paritrANasya mArgaM prakAshayanti|
18 And she did this on many days. But Paul, after being exasperated, and having turned, he said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
sA kanyA bahudinAni tAdR^isham akarot tasmAt paulo duHkhitaH san mukhaM parAvartya taM bhUtamavadad, ahaM yIshukhrIShTasya nAmnA tvAmAj nApayAmi tvamasyA bahirgachCha; tenaiva tatkShaNAt sa bhUtastasyA bahirgataH|
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their business was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, they dragged them into the marketplace to the rulers.
tataH sveShAM lAbhasya pratyAshA viphalA jAteti vilokya tasyAH prabhavaH paulaM sIla ncha dhR^itvAkR^iShya vichArasthAne. adhipatInAM samIpam Anayan|
20 And after bringing them to the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, disturb our city,
tataH shAsakAnAM nikaTaM nItvA romilokA vayam asmAkaM yad vyavaharaNaM grahItum Acharitu ncha niShiddhaM,
21 and proclaim customs that are not permitted for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.
ime yihUdIyalokAH santopi tadeva shikShayitvA nagare. asmAkam atIva kalahaM kurvvanti,
22 And the multitude rose up together against them. And the magistrates, having torn off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods.
iti kathite sati lokanivahastayoH prAtikUlyenodatiShThat tathA shAsakAstayo rvastrANi ChitvA vetrAghAtaM karttum Aj nApayan|
23 And having laid many blows upon them, they cast them into prison, having ordered the jailor to guard them securely,
aparaM te tau bahu prahAryya tvametau kArAM nItvA sAvadhAnaM rakShayeti kArArakShakam Adishan|
24 who, having received such an order, threw them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
ittham Aj nAM prApya sa tAvabhyantarasthakArAM nItvA pAdeShu pAdapAshIbhi rbaddhvA sthApitAvAn|
25 Now toward midnight Paul and Silas, while praying, were singing praises to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
atha nishIthasamaye paulasIlAvIshvaramuddishya prAthanAM gAna ncha kR^itavantau, kArAsthitA lokAshcha tadashR^iNvan
26 And suddenly a great earthquake occurred, so as for the foundations of the prison to shake. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the men were unfastened.
tadAkasmAt mahAn bhUmikampo. abhavat tena bhittimUlena saha kArA kampitAbhUt tatkShaNAt sarvvANi dvArANi muktAni jAtAni sarvveShAM bandhanAni cha muktAni|
27 And the jailor, who became awake and who saw the prison doors opened, having drawn out a sword was going to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.

28 But Paul cried out in a great voice, saying, Do nothing harmful to thyself, for we are all here.
kintu paulaH prochchaistamAhUya kathitavAn pashya vayaM sarvve. atrAsmahe, tvaM nijaprANahiMsAM mAkArShIH|
29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and having become trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas.
tadA pradIpam Anetum uktvA sa kampamAnaH san ullampyAbhyantaram Agatya paulasIlayoH pAdeShu patitavAn|
30 And after bringing them outside, he said, Sirs, what must I do so that I may be saved?
pashchAt sa tau bahirAnIya pR^iShTavAn he mahechChau paritrANaM prAptuM mayA kiM karttavyaM?
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou will be saved, thou and thy household.
pashchAt tau svagR^ihamAnIya tayoH sammukhe khAdyadravyANi sthApitavAn tathA sa svayaM tadIyAH sarvve parivArAshcheshvare vishvasantaH sAnanditA abhavan|
32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all those in his house.
tasmai tasya gR^ihasthitasarvvalokebhyashcha prabhoH kathAM kathitavantau|
33 And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed from the stripes, and was immersed, he and all those of him, immediately.
tathA rAtrestasminneva daNDe sa tau gR^ihItvA tayoH prahArANAM kShatAni prakShAlitavAn tataH sa svayaM tasya sarvve parijanAshcha majjitA abhavan|
34 And having brought them into his house, he set out a table, and rejoiced, having believed in God with all his house.
pashchAt tau svagR^ihamAnIya tayoH sammukhe khAdyadravyANi sthApitavAn tathA sa svayaM tadIyAH sarvve parivArAshcheshvare vishvasantaH sAnanditA abhavan|
35 But when it became day, the magistrates sent out the police, saying, Release those men.
dina upasthite tau lokau mochayeti kathAM kathayituM shAsakAH padAtigaNaM preShitavantaH|
36 And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent out so that ye may be released. Now therefore after coming out, go in peace.
tataH kArArakShakaH paulAya tAM vArttAM kathitavAn yuvAM tyAjayituM shAsakA lokAna preShitavanta idAnIM yuvAM bahi rbhUtvA kushalena pratiShThetAM|
37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly, uncondemned men, being Romans, they cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out privately? Certainly not, but after coming, they shall lead us out.
kintu paulastAn avadat romilokayorAvayoH kamapi doSham na nishchitya sarvveShAM samakSham AvAM kashayA tADayitvA kArAyAM baddhavanta idAnIM kimAvAM guptaM vistrakShyanti? tanna bhaviShyati, svayamAgatyAvAM bahiH kR^itvA nayantu|
38 And the police reported these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
tadA padAtibhiH shAsakebhya etadvArttAyAM kathitAyAM tau romilokAviti kathAM shrutvA te bhItAH
39 And having come they besought them, and when they brought them out, they asked them to go out of the city.

40 And having departed from the prison, they came in to Lydia. And after seeing the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
