Acts 16
1 He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
κατηντησεν δε {VAR1: και } {VAR2: [και] } εις δερβην και εις λυστραν και ιδου μαθητης τις ην εκει ονοματι τιμοθεος υιος γυναικος ιουδαιας πιστης πατρος δε ελληνος
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
ος εμαρτυρειτο υπο των εν λυστροις και ικονιω αδελφων
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
τουτον ηθελησεν ο παυλος συν αυτω εξελθειν και λαβων περιετεμεν αυτον δια τους ιουδαιους τους οντας εν τοις τοποις εκεινοις ηδεισαν γαρ απαντες οτι ελλην ο πατηρ αυτου υπηρχεν
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
ως δε διεπορευοντο τας πολεις παρεδιδοσαν αυτοις φυλασσειν τα δογματα τα κεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και πρεσβυτερων των εν ιεροσολυμοις
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο τη πιστει και επερισσευον τω αριθμω καθ ημεραν
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
διηλθον δε την φρυγιαν και γαλατικην χωραν κωλυθεντες υπο του αγιου πνευματος λαλησαι τον λογον εν τη ασια
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not allow them.
ελθοντες δε κατα την μυσιαν επειραζον εις την βιθυνιαν πορευθηναι και ουκ ειασεν αυτους το πνευμα ιησου
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
παρελθοντες δε την μυσιαν κατεβησαν εις τρωαδα
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
και οραμα δια {VAR2: [της] } νυκτος τω παυλω ωφθη ανηρ μακεδων τις ην εστως και παρακαλων αυτον και λεγων διαβας εις μακεδονιαν βοηθησον ημιν
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
ως δε το οραμα ειδεν ευθεως εζητησαμεν εξελθειν εις μακεδονιαν συμβιβαζοντες οτι προσκεκληται ημας ο θεος ευαγγελισασθαι αυτους
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
αναχθεντες {VAR1: ουν } {VAR2: δε } απο τρωαδος ευθυδρομησαμεν εις σαμοθρακην τη δε επιουση εις νεαν πολιν
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
κακειθεν εις φιλιππους ητις εστιν {VAR1: πρωτη της μεριδος } {VAR2: (πρωτης) μεριδος της } μακεδονιας πολις κολωνια ημεν δε εν ταυτη τη πολει διατριβοντες ημερας τινας
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
τη τε ημερα των σαββατων εξηλθομεν εξω της πυλης παρα ποταμον ου ενομιζομεν προσευχην ειναι και καθισαντες ελαλουμεν ταις συνελθουσαις γυναιξιν
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
και τις γυνη ονοματι λυδια πορφυροπωλις πολεως θυατειρων σεβομενη τον θεον ηκουεν ης ο κυριος διηνοιξεν την καρδιαν προσεχειν τοις λαλουμενοις υπο {VAR2: του } παυλου
15 When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
ως δε εβαπτισθη και ο οικος αυτης παρεκαλεσεν λεγουσα ει κεκρικατε με πιστην τω κυριω ειναι εισελθοντες εις τον οικον μου μενετε και παρεβιασατο ημας
16 As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
εγενετο δε πορευομενων ημων εις την προσευχην παιδισκην τινα εχουσαν πνευμα πυθωνα υπαντησαι ημιν ητις εργασιαν πολλην παρειχεν τοις κυριοις αυτης μαντευομενη
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
αυτη κατακολουθουσα {VAR1: [τω] } {VAR2: τω } παυλω και ημιν εκραζεν λεγουσα ουτοι οι ανθρωποι δουλοι του θεου του υψιστου εισιν οιτινες καταγγελλουσιν υμιν οδον σωτηριας
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
τουτο δε εποιει επι πολλας ημερας διαπονηθεις δε παυλος και επιστρεψας τω πνευματι ειπεν παραγγελλω σοι εν ονοματι ιησου χριστου εξελθειν απ αυτης και εξηλθεν αυτη τη ωρα
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
ιδοντες δε οι κυριοι αυτης οτι εξηλθεν η ελπις της εργασιας αυτων επιλαβομενοι τον παυλον και τον σιλαν ειλκυσαν εις την αγοραν επι τους αρχοντας
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
και προσαγαγοντες αυτους τοις στρατηγοις ειπαν ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταρασσουσιν ημων την πολιν ιουδαιοι υπαρχοντες
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
και καταγγελλουσιν εθη α ουκ εξεστιν ημιν παραδεχεσθαι ουδε ποιειν ρωμαιοις ουσιν
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
και συνεπεστη ο οχλος κατ αυτων και οι στρατηγοι περιρηξαντες αυτων τα ιματια εκελευον ραβδιζειν
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
πολλας {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: τε } επιθεντες αυτοις πληγας εβαλον εις φυλακην παραγγειλαντες τω δεσμοφυλακι ασφαλως τηρειν αυτους
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
ος παραγγελιαν τοιαυτην λαβων εβαλεν αυτους εις την εσωτεραν φυλακην και τους ποδας ησφαλισατο αυτων εις το ξυλον
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
κατα δε το μεσονυκτιον παυλος και σιλας προσευχομενοι υμνουν τον θεον επηκροωντο δε αυτων οι δεσμιοι
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
αφνω δε σεισμος εγενετο μεγας ωστε σαλευθηναι τα θεμελια του δεσμωτηριου ηνεωχθησαν δε {VAR1: [παραχρημα] } {VAR2: παραχρημα } αι θυραι πασαι και παντων τα δεσμα ανεθη
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
εξυπνος δε γενομενος ο δεσμοφυλαξ και ιδων ανεωγμενας τας θυρας της φυλακης σπασαμενος {VAR1: την } {VAR2: [την] } μαχαιραν ημελλεν εαυτον αναιρειν νομιζων εκπεφευγεναι τους δεσμιους
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”
εφωνησεν δε {VAR1: παυλος μεγαλη φωνη } {VAR2: μεγαλη φωνη [ο] παυλος } λεγων μηδεν πραξης σεαυτω κακον απαντες γαρ εσμεν ενθαδε
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
αιτησας δε φωτα εισεπηδησεν και εντρομος γενομενος προσεπεσεν τω παυλω και {VAR2: [τω] } σιλα
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
και προαγαγων αυτους εξω εφη κυριοι τι με δει ποιειν ινα σωθω
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
οι δε ειπαν πιστευσον επι τον κυριον ιησουν και σωθηση συ και ο οικος σου
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
και ελαλησαν αυτω τον λογον του {VAR1: θεου } {VAR2: κυριου } συν πασιν τοις εν τη οικια αυτου
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
και παραλαβων αυτους εν εκεινη τη ωρα της νυκτος ελουσεν απο των πληγων και εβαπτισθη αυτος και οι αυτου {VAR1: απαντες } {VAR2: παντες } παραχρημα
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
αναγαγων τε αυτους εις τον οικον παρεθηκεν τραπεζαν και ηγαλλιασατο πανοικει πεπιστευκως τω θεω
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
ημερας δε γενομενης απεστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τους ραβδουχους λεγοντες απολυσον τους ανθρωπους εκεινους
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
απηγγειλεν δε ο δεσμοφυλαξ τους λογους {VAR2: [τουτους] } προς τον παυλον οτι απεσταλκαν οι στρατηγοι ινα απολυθητε νυν ουν εξελθοντες πορευεσθε εν ειρηνη
37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
ο δε παυλος εφη προς αυτους δειραντες ημας δημοσια ακατακριτους ανθρωπους ρωμαιους υπαρχοντας εβαλαν εις φυλακην και νυν λαθρα ημας εκβαλλουσιν ου γαρ αλλα ελθοντες αυτοι ημας εξαγαγετωσαν
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
απηγγειλαν δε τοις στρατηγοις οι ραβδουχοι τα ρηματα ταυτα εφοβηθησαν δε ακουσαντες οτι ρωμαιοι εισιν
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
και ελθοντες παρεκαλεσαν αυτους και εξαγαγοντες ηρωτων απελθειν απο της πολεως
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
εξελθοντες δε απο της φυλακης εισηλθον προς την λυδιαν και ιδοντες παρεκαλεσαν τους αδελφους και εξηλθαν
