Acts 16
1 So he came to Derbe and Lystra. Well now, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was a Greek;
paulo darbbīlustrānagarayorupasthitobhavat tatra tīmathiyanāmā śiṣya eka āsīt; sa viśvāsinyā yihūdīyāyā yoṣito garbbhajātaḥ kintu tasya pitānyadeśīyalokaḥ|
2 he was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.
sa jano lustrā-ikaniyanagarasthānāṁ bhrātṛṇāṁ samīpepi sukhyātimān āsīt|
3 Paul wanted to have him go on with him, so he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, because they all knew that his father was a Greek.
paulastaṁ svasaṅginaṁ karttuṁ matiṁ kṛtvā taṁ gṛhītvā taddeśanivāsināṁ yihūdīyānām anurodhāt tasya tvakchedaṁ kṛtavān yatastasya pitā bhinnadeśīyaloka iti sarvvairajñāyata|
4 As they were going through the cities they were delivering the dogmas to them, to keep—the ones that had been determined by the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem.
tataḥ paraṁ te nagare nagare bhramitvā yirūśālamasthaiḥ preritai rlokaprācīnaiśca nirūpitaṁ yad vyavasthāpatraṁ tadanusāreṇācarituṁ lokebhyastad dattavantaḥ|
5 So the congregations kept on being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.
tenaiva sarvve dharmmasamājāḥ khrīṣṭadharmme susthirāḥ santaḥ pratidinaṁ varddhitā abhavan|
6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
teṣu phrugiyāgālātiyādeśamadhyena gateṣu satsu pavitra ātmā tān āśiyādeśe kathāṁ prakāśayituṁ pratiṣiddhavān|
7 they approached Mysia and tried to go to Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.
tathā musiyādeśa upasthāya bithuniyāṁ gantuṁ tairudyoge kṛte ātmā tān nānvamanyata|
8 So they bypassed Mysia and went down to Troas.
tasmāt te musiyādeśaṁ parityajya troyānagaraṁ gatvā samupasthitāḥ|
9 A vision appeared to Paul during the night: a man of Macedonia was standing, appealing to him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
rātrau paulaḥ svapne dṛṣṭavān eko mākidaniyalokastiṣṭhan vinayaṁ kṛtvā tasmai kathayati, mākidaniyādeśam āgatyāsmān upakurvviti|
10 So when he saw the vision, we immediately prepared to go over to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to evangelize them.
tasyetthaṁ svapnadarśanāt prabhustaddeśīyalokān prati susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum asmān āhūyatīti niścitaṁ buddhvā vayaṁ tūrṇaṁ mākidaniyādeśaṁ gantum udyogam akurmma|
11 So setting sail from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis;
tataḥ paraṁ vayaṁ troyānagarād prasthāya ṛjumārgeṇa sāmathrākiyopadvīpena gatvā pare'hani niyāpalinagara upasthitāḥ|
12 and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. We stayed some days in that city.
tasmād gatvā mākidaniyāntarvvartti romīyavasatisthānaṁ yat philipīnāmapradhānanagaraṁ tatropasthāya katipayadināni tatra sthitavantaḥ|
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside the city by a river, where prayer was customarily made, and sitting down we started speaking to the assembled women.
viśrāmavāre nagarād bahi rgatvā nadītaṭe yatra prārthanācāra āsīt tatropaviśya samāgatā nārīḥ prati kathāṁ prācārayāma|
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, really listened, whose heart the Lord opened to give heed to the things spoken by Paul.
tataḥ thuyātīrānagarīyā dhūṣarāmbaravikrāyiṇī ludiyānāmikā yā īśvarasevikā yoṣit śrotrīṇāṁ madhya āsīt tayā pauloktavākyāni yad gṛhyante tadarthaṁ prabhustasyā manodvāraṁ muktavān|
15 When she and her household were baptized, she appealed saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
ataḥ sā yoṣit saparivārā majjitā satī vinayaṁ kṛtvā kathitavatī, yuṣmākaṁ vicārād yadi prabhau viśvāsinī jātāhaṁ tarhi mama gṛham āgatya tiṣṭhata| itthaṁ sā yatnenāsmān asthāpayat|
16 Now it happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain slave girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought considerable profit to her owners by divination.
yasyā gaṇanayā tadadhipatīnāṁ bahudhanopārjanaṁ jātaṁ tādṛśī gaṇakabhūtagrastā kācana dāsī prārthanāsthānagamanakāla āgatyāsmān sākṣāt kṛtavatī|
17 Following Paul and Silas this girl kept calling out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to us the way of salvation!”
sāsmākaṁ paulasya ca paścād etya proccaiḥ kathāmimāṁ kathitavatī, manuṣyā ete sarvvoparisthasyeśvarasya sevakāḥ santo'smān prati paritrāṇasya mārgaṁ prakāśayanti|
18 She kept this up for many days! So Paul, becoming increasingly annoyed, 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.
sā kanyā bahudināni tādṛśam akarot tasmāt paulo duḥkhitaḥ san mukhaṁ parāvartya taṁ bhūtamavadad, ahaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā tvāmājñāpayāmi tvamasyā bahirgaccha; tenaiva tatkṣaṇāt sa bhūtastasyā bahirgataḥ|
19 But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place to the rulers,
tataḥ sveṣāṁ lābhasya pratyāśā viphalā jāteti vilokya tasyāḥ prabhavaḥ paulaṁ sīlañca dhṛtvākṛṣya vicārasthāne'dhipatīnāṁ samīpam ānayan|
20 and bringing them before the magistrates they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
tataḥ śāsakānāṁ nikaṭaṁ nītvā romilokā vayam asmākaṁ yad vyavaharaṇaṁ grahītum ācarituñca niṣiddhaṁ,
21 and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or do.”
ime yihūdīyalokāḥ santopi tadeva śikṣayitvā nagare'smākam atīva kalahaṁ kurvvanti,
22 The crowd joined in the attack against them, and the magistrates tore the clothes off of them and ordered a beating with rods.
iti kathite sati lokanivahastayoḥ prātikūlyenodatiṣṭhat tathā śāsakāstayo rvastrāṇi chitvā vetrāghātaṁ karttum ājñāpayan|
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them securely;
aparaṁ te tau bahu prahāryya tvametau kārāṁ nītvā sāvadhānaṁ rakṣayeti kārārakṣakam ādiśan|
24 who, having received such a charge, threw them into the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
ittham ājñāṁ prāpya sa tāvabhyantarasthakārāṁ nītvā pādeṣu pādapāśībhi rbaddhvā sthāpitāvān|
25 Well about midnight Paul and Silas were singing hymns to God in prayer; and the other prisoners were listening to them.
atha niśīthasamaye paulasīlāvīśvaramuddiśya prāthanāṁ gānañca kṛtavantau, kārāsthitā lokāśca tadaśṛṇvan
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, enough to shake the foundations of the prison; immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.
tadākasmāt mahān bhūmikampo'bhavat tena bhittimūlena saha kārā kampitābhūt tatkṣaṇāt sarvvāṇi dvārāṇi muktāni jātāni sarvveṣāṁ bandhanāni ca muktāni|
27 But the jailer, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew sword, intending to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
ataeva kārārakṣako nidrāto jāgaritvā kārāyā dvārāṇi muktāni dṛṣṭvā bandilokāḥ palāyitā ityanumāya koṣāt khaṅgaṁ bahiḥ kṛtvātmaghātaṁ karttum udyataḥ|
28 But Paul shouted out, “Don't harm yourself, because we are all here!”
kintu paulaḥ proccaistamāhūya kathitavān paśya vayaṁ sarvve'trāsmahe, tvaṁ nijaprāṇahiṁsāṁ mākārṣīḥ|
29 So calling for a light he ran in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
tadā pradīpam ānetum uktvā sa kampamānaḥ san ullampyābhyantaram āgatya paulasīlayoḥ pādeṣu patitavān|
30 He then brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
paścāt sa tau bahirānīya pṛṣṭavān he mahecchau paritrāṇaṁ prāptuṁ mayā kiṁ karttavyaṁ?
31 So they said, “Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.”
paścāt tau svagṛhamānīya tayoḥ sammukhe khādyadravyāṇi sthāpitavān tathā sa svayaṁ tadīyāḥ sarvve parivārāśceśvare viśvasantaḥ sānanditā abhavan|
32 Then they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
tasmai tasya gṛhasthitasarvvalokebhyaśca prabhoḥ kathāṁ kathitavantau|
33 In that same hour of the night he took them aside and washed their wounds, and thereupon he and all his family were baptized.
tathā rātrestasminneva daṇḍe sa tau gṛhītvā tayoḥ prahārāṇāṁ kṣatāni prakṣālitavān tataḥ sa svayaṁ tasya sarvve parijanāśca majjitā abhavan|
34 Then he brought them into his house and set a meal before them, and he was really rejoicing, having believed in God with his whole family.
paścāt tau svagṛhamānīya tayoḥ sammukhe khādyadravyāṇi sthāpitavān tathā sa svayaṁ tadīyāḥ sarvve parivārāśceśvare viśvasantaḥ sānanditā abhavan|
35 Now when it was day the magistrates sent the officers saying, “Let those men go.”
dina upasthite tau lokau mocayeti kathāṁ kathayituṁ śāsakāḥ padātigaṇaṁ preṣitavantaḥ|
36 So the jailer reported these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent to release you; so now you can leave and go in peace.”
tataḥ kārārakṣakaḥ paulāya tāṁ vārttāṁ kathitavān yuvāṁ tyājayituṁ śāsakā lokāna preṣitavanta idānīṁ yuvāṁ bahi rbhūtvā kuśalena pratiṣṭhetāṁ|
37 But Paul said to them: “After severely beating us in public, although we were uncondemned Romans, they threw us into prison, and now do they toss us out on the sly? No way! Rather, let them come themselves and escort us out!”
kintu paulastān avadat romilokayorāvayoḥ kamapi doṣam na niścitya sarvveṣāṁ samakṣam āvāṁ kaśayā tāḍayitvā kārāyāṁ baddhavanta idānīṁ kimāvāṁ guptaṁ vistrakṣyanti? tanna bhaviṣyati, svayamāgatyāvāṁ bahiḥ kṛtvā nayantu|
38 So the officers reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans;
tadā padātibhiḥ śāsakebhya etadvārttāyāṁ kathitāyāṁ tau romilokāviti kathāṁ śrutvā te bhītāḥ
39 and they came and appealed to them, and leading them out they asked them to leave the city.
santastayoḥ sannidhimāgatya vinayam akurvvan aparaṁ bahiḥ kṛtvā nagarāt prasthātuṁ prārthitavantaḥ|
40 So exiting the prison they entered Lydia's place, and upon seeing the brothers they encouraged them and departed.
tatastau kārāyā nirgatya ludiyāyā gṛhaṁ gatavantau tatra bhrātṛgaṇaṁ sākṣātkṛtya tān sāntvayitvā tasmāt sthānāt prasthitau|
