< Acts 16 >

1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.
At siya'y naparoon din naman sa Derbe at sa Listra: at narito, naroon ang isang alagad, na nagngangalang Timoteo, na anak ng isang Judiang sumasampalataya; datapuwa't Griego ang kaniyang ama.
2 To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony.
Siya'y may mabuting patotoo ng mga kapatid na nangasa Listra at Iconio.
3 Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
Iniibig ni Pablo na sumama siya sa kaniya; at kaniyang kinuha siya at tinuli dahil sa mga Judio na nangasa mga dakong yaon: sapagka't nalalaman ng lahat na ang kaniyang ama'y Griego.
4 And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.
At sa kanilang pagtahak sa mga bayan, ay ibinigay sa kanila ang mga utos na inilagda ng mga apostol at ng mga matanda sa Jerusalem, upang kanilang tuparin.
5 And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.
Kaya nga, ang mga iglesia'y pinalakas sa pananampalataya at naragdagan ang bilang araw-araw.
6 And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
At nang kanilang matahak ang lupain ng Frigia at Galacia, ay pinagbawalan sila ng Espiritu Santo na saysayin ang salita sa Asia;
7 And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
At nang sila'y magsidating sa tapat ng Misia, ay pinagsikapan nilang magsipasok sa Bitinia; at hindi sila tinulutan ng Espiritu ni Jesus;
8 And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
At pagkaraan nila sa Misia, ay nagsilusong sila sa Troas.
9 And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
At napakita ang isang pangitain sa gabi kay Pablo: May isang lalaking taga Macedonia na nakatayo, na namamanhik sa kaniya, at sinasabi, Tumawid ka sa Macedonia, at tulungan mo kami.
10 And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
At pagkakita niya sa pangitain, pagdaka'y pinagsikapan naming magsiparoon sa Macedonia, na pinatutunayang kami'y tinawag ng Dios upang sa kanila'y ipangaral ang evangelio.
11 And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;
Pagtulak nga sa Troas, ay pinunta namin ang Samotracia, at nang kinabukasa'y ang Neapolis;
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together.
At mula doo'y ang Filipos, na isang bayan ng Macedonia, na siyang una sa purok, lupang nasasakupan ng Roma: at nangatira kaming ilang araw sa bayang yaon.
13 And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.
At nang araw ng sabbath ay nagsilabas kami sa labas ng pintuan sa tabi ng ilog, na doo'y sinapantaha naming may mapapanalanginan; at kami'y nangaupo, at nakipagsalitaan sa mga babaing nangagkatipon.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.
At isang babaing nagngangalang Lidia, na mangangalakal ng kayong kulay-ube, na taga bayan ng Tiatira, isang masipag sa kabanalan, ay nakinig sa amin: na binuksan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang puso upang unawain ang mga bagay na sinalita ni Pablo.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
At nang siya'y mabautismuhan na, at ang kaniyang mga kasangbahay, ay namanhik siya sa amin, na sinasabi, Kung inyong inaakalang ako'y tapat sa Panginoon, ay magsipasok kayo sa aking bahay, at kayo'y magsitira doon. At kami'y pinilit niya.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.
At nangyari, na nang kami'y nagsisiparoon sa mapapanalanginan, ay sinalubong kami ng isang dalagang may karumaldumal na espiritu ng panghuhula, at nagdadala ng maraming pakinabang sa kaniyang mga panginoon sa pamamagitan ng panghuhula.
17 This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.
Siya'y sumusunod kay Pablo at sa amin at nagsisigaw, na sinasabi, Mga alipin ng Kataastaasang Dios ang mga taong ito, na nagsisipangaral sa inyo ng daan ng kaligtasan.
18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.
At maraming mga araw na ginawa niya ito. Datapuwa't palibhasa'y si Pablo ay totoong nababagabag, ay lumingon at sinabi sa espiritu, Iniuutos ko sa iyo sa pangalan ni Jesucristo na lumabas ka sa kaniya. At ito ay lumabas nang oras ding yaon.
19 But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.
Datapuwa't nang makita ng kaniyang mga panginoon na wala na ang inaasahan nilang kapakinabangan, ay hinuli nila si Pablo at si Silas, at kinaladkad sila sa pamilihan, sa harapan ng mga may kapangyarihan,
20 And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;
At nang maiharap na sila sa mga hukom, ay sinabi nila, Ang mga lalaking ito, palibhasa'y mga Judio, ay nagsisipanggulong totoo sa ating bayan,
21 And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.
At nangaghahayag ng mga kaugaliang hindi matuwid nating tanggapin, o gawin, palibhasa tayo'y Romano.
22 And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
At samasamang nagsitindig ang karamihan laban sa kanila: at hinapak ng mga hukom ang kanilang mga damit, at ipinapalo sila ng mga panghampas.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.
At nang sila'y mapalo na nila ng marami, ay ipinasok sila sa bilangguan, na ipinagtatagubilin sa tagapamahala na sila'y bantayang maigi:
24 Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Na, nang tanggapin nito ang gayong tagubilin, ay ipinasok sila sa kalooblooban ng bilangguan, at piniit ang kanilang mga paa sa mga pangawan.
25 And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.
Datapuwa't nang maghahatinggabi na si Pablo at si Silas ay nagsipanalangin at nagsiawit ng mga himno sa Dios, at sila'y pinakikinggan ng mga bilanggo;
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 the bands of all were loosed.
At kaginsaginsa'y nagkaroon ng isang malakas na lindol, ano pa't nangagsiuga ang mga patibayan ng bahay-bilangguan: at pagdaka'y nangabuksan ang lahat ng mga pinto; at nangakalas ang mga gapos ng bawa't isa.
27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
At ang tagapamahala, palibhasa'y nagising sa pagkakatulog at nang makitang bukas ang mga pinto ng bilangguan, ay binunot ang kaniyang tabak at magpapakamatay sana, sa pagaakalang nangakatakas na ang mga bilanggo.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.
Datapuwa't sumigaw si Pablo ng malakas na tinig, na sinasabi, Huwag mong saktan ang iyong sarili: sapagka't nangaririto kaming lahat.
29 Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
At siya'y humingi ng mga ilaw at tumakbo sa loob, at, nanginginig sa takot, ay nagpatirapa sa harapan ni Pablo at ni Silas,
30 And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
At sila'y inilabas at sinabi, Mga ginoo, ano ang kinakailangan kong gawin upang maligtas?
31 But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
At kanilang sinabi, Manampalataya ka sa Panginoong Jesus, at maliligtas ka, ikaw at ang iyong sangbahayan.
32 And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
At sa kaniya'y sinalita nila ang salita ng Panginoon, pati sa lahat ng nangasa kaniyang bahay.
33 And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
At sila'y kaniyang kinuha nang oras ding yaon ng gabi, at hinugasan ang kanilang mga latay; at pagdaka'y binautismuhan, siya at ang buong sangbahayan niya.
34 And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
At sila'y kaniyang ipinanhik sa kaniyang bahay, at hinainan sila ng pagkain, at nagalak na totoo, pati ng buong sangbahayan niya, na nagsisampalataya sa Dios.
35 And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
Datapuwa't nang umaga na, ang mga hukom ay nangagsugo ng mga sarhento, na nagsasabi, Pawalan mo ang mga taong iyan.
36 And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart, and go in peace.
At iniulat ng tagapamahala kay Pablo ang mga salitang ito, na sinasabi, Ipinagutos ng mga hukom na kayo'y pawalan: ngayon nga'y magsilabas kayo, at magsiyaon kayong payapa.
37 But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now do they thrust us out privately? Not so; but let them come,
Datapuwa't sinabi sa kanila ni Pablo, Pinalo nila kami sa hayag, na hindi nangahatulan, bagama't mga lalaking Romano, at kami'y ibinilanggo; at ngayo'y lihim na kami'y pinawawalan nila? tunay na hindi nga; kundi sila rin ang magsiparito at kami'y pawalan.
38 And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.
At iniulat ng mga sarhento ang mga salitang ito sa mga hukom: at sila'y nangatakot nang kanilang marinig na sila'y mga Romano;
39 And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.
At sila'y nagsiparoon at pinamanhikan sila; at nang kanilang mailabas na sila, ay hiniling nila sa kanila na magsilabas sa bayan.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
At sila'y nagsilabas sa bilangguan, at nagsipasok sa bahay ni Lidia: at nang makita nila ang mga kapatid, ay kanilang inaliw sila, at nagsialis.
