Acts 16
1 Then came he to Derbe and to Lystra: and beholde, a certaine disciple was there named Timotheus, a womans sonne, which was a Iewesse and beleeued, but his father was a Grecian,
pervenit autem in Derben et Lystram et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibi nomine Timotheus filius mulieris iudaeae fidelis patre gentili
2 Of whom the brethren which were at Lystra and Iconium, reported well.
huic testimonium reddebant qui in Lystris erant et Iconii fratres
3 Therefore Paul would that he should go forth with him, and tooke and circumcised him, because of ye Iewes, which were in those quarters: for they knewe all, that his father was a Grecian.
hunc voluit Paulus secum proficisci et adsumens circumcidit eum propter Iudaeos qui erant in illis locis sciebant enim omnes quod pater eius gentilis esset
4 And as they went through the cities, they deliuered them the decrees to keepe, ordeined of the Apostles and Elders, which were at Hierusalem.
cum autem pertransirent civitates tradebant eis custodire dogmata quae erant decreta ab apostolis et senioribus qui essent Hierosolymis
5 And so were the Churches stablished in the faith, and encreased in number daily.
et ecclesiae quidem confirmabantur fide et abundabant numero cotidie
6 Nowe when they had gone throughout Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden of the holy Ghost to preache the worde in Asia.
transeuntes autem Frygiam et Galatiae regionem vetati sunt a Sancto Spiritu loqui verbum in Asia
7 Then came they to Mysia, and sought to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
cum venissent autem in Mysiam temptabant ire Bithyniam et non permisit eos Spiritus Iesu
8 Therefore they passed through Mysia, and came downe to Troas,
cum autem pertransissent Mysiam descenderunt Troadem
9 Where a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stoode a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come into Macedonia, and helpe vs.
et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est vir macedo quidam erat stans et deprecans eum et dicens transiens in Macedoniam adiuva nos
10 And after he had seene the vision, immediatly we prepared to goe into Macedonia, being assured that the Lord had called vs to preache the Gospel vnto them.
ut autem visum vidit statim quaesivimus proficisci in Macedoniam certi facti quia vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis
11 Then went we forth from Troas, and with a straight course came to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis,
navigantes autem a Troade recto cursu venimus Samothraciam et sequenti die Neapolim
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chiefe citie in ye partes of Macedonia, and whose inhabitants came from Rome to dwell there, and we were in that citie abiding certaine dayes.
et inde Philippis quae est prima partis Macedoniae civitas colonia eramus autem in hac urbe diebus aliquot conferentes
13 And on the Sabbath day, we went out of the citie, besides a Riuer, where they were wont to pray: and we sate downe, and spake vnto the women, which were come together.
die autem sabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam iuxta flumen ubi videbatur oratio esse et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus quae convenerant
14 And a certaine woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the citie of the Thyatirians, which worshipped God, heard vs: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended vnto the things, which Paul spake.
et quaedam mulier nomine Lydia purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum colens Deum audivit cuius Dominus aperuit cor intendere his quae dicebantur a Paulo
15 And when she was baptized, and her houshold, she besought vs, saying, If ye haue iudged me to be faithfull to ye Lord, come into mine house, and abide there: and she constrained vs.
cum autem baptizata esset et domus eius deprecata est dicens si iudicastis me fidelem Domino esse introite in domum meam et manete et coegit nos
16 And it came to passe that as we went to prayer, a certaine maide hauing a spirit of diuination, mette vs, which gate her masters much vantage with diuining.
factum est autem euntibus nobis ad orationem puellam quandam habentem spiritum pythonem obviare nobis quae quaestum magnum praestabat dominis suis divinando
17 She followed Paul and vs, and cryed, saying, These men are the seruants of the most high God, which shewe vnto you the way of saluation.
haec subsecuta Paulum et nos clamabat dicens isti homines servi Dei excelsi sunt qui adnuntiant vobis viam salutis
18 And this did she many dayes: but Paul being grieued, turned about, and said to the spirit, I commaund thee in the Name of Iesus Christ, that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.
hoc autem faciebat multis diebus dolens autem Paulus et conversus spiritui dixit praecipio tibi in nomine Iesu Christi exire ab ea et exiit eadem hora
19 Nowe when her masters sawe that the hope of their gaine was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drewe them into the market place vnto the Magistrates,
videntes autem domini eius quia exivit spes quaestus eorum adprehendentes Paulum et Silam perduxerunt in forum ad principes
20 And brought them to the gouernours, saying, These men which are Iewes, trouble our citie,
et offerentes eos magistratibus dixerunt hii homines conturbant civitatem nostram cum sint Iudaei
21 And preache ordinances, which are not lawfull for vs to receiue, neither to obserue, seeing we are Romanes.
et adnuntiant morem quem non licet nobis suscipere neque facere cum simus Romani
22 The people also rose vp together against them, and the gouernours rent their clothes, and commanded them to be beaten with roddes.
et concurrit plebs adversus eos et magistratus scissis tunicis eorum iusserunt virgis caedi
23 And when they had beaten them sore, they cast them into prison, commaunding the Iayler to keepe them surely.
et cum multas plagas eis inposuissent miserunt eos in carcerem praecipientes custodi ut diligenter custodiret eos
24 Who hauing receiued such commandement, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feete fast in the stockes.
qui cum tale praeceptum accepisset misit eos in interiorem carcerem et pedes eorum strinxit in ligno
25 Nowe at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung Psalmes vnto God: and the prisoners heard them.
media autem nocte Paulus et Silas adorantes laudabant Deum et audiebant eos qui in custodia erant
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison was shaken: and by and by all the doores opened, and euery mans bands were loosed.
subito vero terraemotus factus est magnus ita ut moverentur fundamenta carceris et aperta sunt statim ostia omnia et universorum vincula soluta sunt
27 Then the keeper of the prison waked out of his sleepe, and when he sawe the prison doores open, he drewe out his sword and would haue killed himselfe, supposing the prisoners had bin fled.
expergefactus autem custos carceris et videns apertas ianuas carceris evaginato gladio volebat se interficere aestimans fugisse vinctos
28 But Paul cryed with a loude voyce, saying, Doe thy selfe no harme: for we are all here.
clamavit autem Paulus magna voce dicens nihil feceris tibi mali universi enim hic sumus
29 Then he called for a light, and leaped in, and came trembling, and fell downe before Paul and Silas,
petitoque lumine introgressus est et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silae
30 And brought them out, and said, Syrs, what must I doe to be saued?
et producens eos foras ait domini quid me oportet facere ut salvus fiam
31 And they saide, Beleeue in the Lord Iesus Christ, and thou shalt be saued, and thine houshold.
at illi dixerunt crede in Domino Iesu et salvus eris tu et domus tua
32 And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lord, and to all that were in the house.
et locuti sunt ei verbum Domini cum omnibus qui erant in domo eius
33 Afterwarde he tooke them the same houre of the night, and washed their stripes, and was baptized with all that belonged vnto him, straigthway.
et tollens eos in illa hora noctis lavit plagas eorum et baptizatus est ipse et omnes eius continuo
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meate before them, and reioyced that he with all his houshold beleeued in God.
cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam adposuit eis mensam et laetatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo
35 And when it was day, the gouernours sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men goe.
et cum dies factus esset miserunt magistratus lictores dicentes dimitte homines illos
36 Then the keeper of the prison tolde these woordes vnto Paul, saying, The gouerness haue sent to loose you: nowe therefore get you hence, and goe in peace.
nuntiavit autem custos carceris verba haec Paulo quia miserunt magistratus ut dimittamini nunc igitur exeuntes ite in pace
37 Then sayde Paul vnto them, After that they haue beaten vs openly vncodemned, which are Romanes, they haue cast vs into prison, and nowe would they put vs out priuily? nay verely: but let them come and bring vs out.
Paulus autem dixit eis caesos nos publice indemnatos homines romanos miserunt in carcerem et nunc occulte nos eiciunt non ita sed veniant
38 And the sergeants tolde these woordes vnto the gouernours, who feared whe they heard that they were Romanes.
et ipsi nos eiciant nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba haec timueruntque audito quod Romani essent
39 Then came they and praied them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the citie.
et venientes deprecati sunt eos et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur urbem
40 And they went out of the prison, and entred into the house of Lydia: and when they had seene the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
exeuntes autem de carcere introierunt ad Lydiam et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos et profecti sunt
