< Acts 16 >

1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess, who was a believer; 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 A good report was given of him by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
ος εμαρτυρειτο υπο των εν λυστροις και ικονιω αδελφων
3 This man Paul wished to go with him: and he took him and circumcised him, on account of the Jews that were in those places: 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 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been resolved on by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, that they might keep them.
ως δε διεπορευοντο τας πολεις παρεδιδοσαν αυτοις φυλασσειν τα δογματα τα κεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και πρεσβυτερων των εν ιεροσολυμοις
5 Therefore, the churches were established in the faith, and they increased in number daily.
αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο τη πιστει και επερισσευον τω αριθμω καθ ημεραν
6 When they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
διηλθον δε την φρυγιαν και γαλατικην χωραν κωλυθεντες υπο του αγιου πνευματος λαλησαι τον λογον εν τη ασια
7 and had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit did not permit them.
ελθοντες δε κατα την μυσιαν επειραζον εις την βιθυνιαν πορευθηναι και ουκ ειασεν αυτους το πνευμα ιησου
8 But having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
παρελθοντες δε την μυσιαν κατεβησαν εις τρωαδα
9 And, during the night, a vision appeared to Paul. A certain man of Macedonia stood and besought him, saying: Come over to 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 After he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
ως δε το οραμα ειδεν ευθεως εζητησαμεν εξελθειν εις μακεδονιαν συμβιβαζοντες οτι προσκεκληται ημας ο θεος ευαγγελισασθαι αυτους
11 Therefore, setting sail from Troas, we came by a straight course to Samothracia, and, on the following day, to Neapolis,
αναχθεντες {VAR1: ουν } {VAR2: δε } απο τρωαδος ευθυδρομησαμεν εις σαμοθρακην τη δε επιουση εις νεαν πολιν
12 and thence to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony. We remained in that city some days:
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 and on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to the side of a river, where, as usual, was the house 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 And a certain woman, named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that 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 And when she and her household had been immersed, she besought us, saying: If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and make it your home. And she con strained 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 And it came to pass, that as we were going to the house of prayer, there met us a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of Python, who brought much gain to her masters, by giving responses.
εγενετο δε πορευομενων ημων εις την προσευχην παιδισκην τινα εχουσαν πνευμα πυθωνα υπαντησαι ημιν ητις εργασιαν πολλην παρειχεν τοις κυριοις αυτης μαντευομενη
17 She followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most High God, who show us the 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 And this she continued to do for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And 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 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market to 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 And having brought them to the magistrates, they said: These men, who are Jews, do greatly trouble our city;
και προσαγαγοντες αυτους τοις στρατηγοις ειπαν ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταρασσουσιν ημων την πολιν ιουδαιοι υπαρχοντες
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us, who are Romans, to receive or to observe.
και καταγγελλουσιν εθη α ουκ εξεστιν ημιν παραδεχεσθαι ουδε ποιειν ρωμαιοις ουσιν
22 And the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates stripped off their clothes, and gave command to beat them with rods.
και συνεπεστη ο οχλος κατ αυτων και οι στρατηγοι περιρηξαντες αυτων τα ιματια εκελευον ραβδιζειν
23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, and charged the jailer to keep them securely.
πολλας {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: τε } επιθεντες αυτοις πληγας εβαλον εις φυλακην παραγγειλαντες τω δεσμοφυλακι ασφαλως τηρειν αυτους
24 And having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
ος παραγγελιαν τοιαυτην λαβων εβαλεν αυτους εις την εσωτεραν φυλακην και τους ποδας ησφαλισατο αυτων εις το ξυλον
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung a hymn 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 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bonds were loosed.
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 And the jailer, being aroused from sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
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 called out with a loud voice, saying: Do yourself no harm, 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 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas;
αιτησας δε φωτα εισεπηδησεν και εντρομος γενομενος προσεπεσεν τω παυλω και {VAR2: [τω] } σιλα
30 and, having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
και προαγαγων αυτους εξω εφη κυριοι τι με δει ποιειν ινα σωθω
31 They replied: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your house shall be saved.
οι δε ειπαν πιστευσον επι τον κυριον ιησουν και σωθηση συ και ο οικος σου
32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all that were in his house.
και ελαλησαν αυτω τον λογον του {VAR1: θεου } {VAR2: κυριου } συν πασιν τοις εν τη οικια αυτου
33 And he took them at that hour of the night, and washed the blood from their stripes; and he was immersed, himself and all his, immediately.
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 And he brought them into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God, with all his house.
αναγαγων τε αυτους εις τον οικον παρεθηκεν τραπεζαν και ηγαλλιασατο πανοικει πεπιστευκως τω θεω
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying: Release those men.
ημερας δε γενομενης απεστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τους ραβδουχους λεγοντες απολυσον τους ανθρωπους εκεινους
36 And the jailer told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you. 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: Having publicly scourged us uncondemned, us who are Romans, they threw us into prison: and do they now put us out secretly? No, verily: but let them come and lead 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 And the lictors told these words to the magistrates: and they were alarmed 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 entreated them, and led them out, and requested them to depart from the city.
και ελθοντες παρεκαλεσαν αυτους και εξαγαγοντες ηρωτων απελθειν απο της πολεως
40 And having come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
εξελθοντες δε απο της φυλακης εισηλθον προς την λυδιαν και ιδοντες παρεκαλεσαν τους αδελφους και εξηλθαν
