Acts 16
1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
paulO darbbIlustrAnagarayOrupasthitObhavat tatra tImathiyanAmA ziSya Eka AsIt; sa vizvAsinyA yihUdIyAyA yOSitO garbbhajAtaH kintu tasya pitAnyadEzIyalOkaH|
2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
sa janO lustrA-ikaniyanagarasthAnAM bhrAtRNAM samIpEpi sukhyAtimAn AsIt|
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.

5 And so were the Assemblies established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
tESu phrugiyAgAlAtiyAdEzamadhyEna gatESu satsu pavitra AtmA tAn AziyAdEzE kathAM prakAzayituM pratiSiddhavAn|
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
tathA musiyAdEza upasthAya bithuniyAM gantuM tairudyOgE kRtE AtmA tAn nAnvamanyata|
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
rAtrau paulaH svapnE dRSTavAn EkO mAkidaniyalOkastiSThan vinayaM kRtvA tasmai kathayati, mAkidaniyAdEzam AgatyAsmAn upakurvviti|
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
tataH paraM vayaM trOyAnagarAd prasthAya RjumArgENa sAmathrAkiyOpadvIpEna gatvA parE'hani niyApalinagara upasthitAH|
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
tasmAd gatvA mAkidaniyAntarvvartti rOmIyavasatisthAnaM yat philipInAmapradhAnanagaraM tatrOpasthAya katipayadinAni tatra sthitavantaH|
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
vizrAmavArE nagarAd bahi rgatvA nadItaTE yatra prArthanAcAra AsIt tatrOpavizya samAgatA nArIH prati kathAM prAcArayAma|
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
tataH thuyAtIrAnagarIyA dhUSarAmbaravikrAyiNI ludiyAnAmikA yA IzvarasEvikA yOSit zrOtrINAM madhya AsIt tayA paulOktavAkyAni yad gRhyantE tadarthaM prabhustasyA manOdvAraM muktavAn|
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
ataH sA yOSit saparivArA majjitA satI vinayaM kRtvA kathitavatI, yuSmAkaM vicArAd yadi prabhau vizvAsinI jAtAhaM tarhi mama gRham Agatya tiSThata| itthaM sA yatnEnAsmAn asthApayat|
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
yasyA gaNanayA tadadhipatInAM bahudhanOpArjanaM jAtaM tAdRzI gaNakabhUtagrastA kAcana dAsI prArthanAsthAnagamanakAla AgatyAsmAn sAkSAt kRtavatI|
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
sAsmAkaM paulasya ca pazcAd Etya prOccaiH kathAmimAM kathitavatI, manuSyA EtE sarvvOparisthasyEzvarasya sEvakAH santO'smAn prati paritrANasya mArgaM prakAzayanti|
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
sA kanyA bahudinAni tAdRzam akarOt tasmAt paulO duHkhitaH san mukhaM parAvartya taM bhUtamavadad, ahaM yIzukhrISTasya nAmnA tvAmAjnjApayAmi tvamasyA bahirgaccha; tEnaiva tatkSaNAt sa bhUtastasyA bahirgataH|
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
tataH svESAM lAbhasya pratyAzA viphalA jAtEti vilOkya tasyAH prabhavaH paulaM sIlanjca dhRtvAkRSya vicArasthAnE'dhipatInAM samIpam Anayan|
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
tataH zAsakAnAM nikaTaM nItvA rOmilOkA vayam asmAkaM yad vyavaharaNaM grahItum Acaritunjca niSiddhaM,
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
imE yihUdIyalOkAH santOpi tadEva zikSayitvA nagarE'smAkam atIva kalahaM kurvvanti,
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
iti kathitE sati lOkanivahastayOH prAtikUlyEnOdatiSThat tathA zAsakAstayO rvastrANi chitvA vEtrAghAtaM karttum AjnjApayan|
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
aparaM tE tau bahu prahAryya tvamEtau kArAM nItvA sAvadhAnaM rakSayEti kArArakSakam Adizan|
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
ittham AjnjAM prApya sa tAvabhyantarasthakArAM nItvA pAdESu pAdapAzIbhi rbaddhvA sthApitAvAn|
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
atha nizIthasamayE paulasIlAvIzvaramuddizya prAthanAM gAnanjca kRtavantau, kArAsthitA lOkAzca tadazRNvan
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 bands were loosed.
tadAkasmAt mahAn bhUmikampO'bhavat tEna bhittimUlEna saha kArA kampitAbhUt tatkSaNAt sarvvANi dvArANi muktAni jAtAni sarvvESAM bandhanAni ca muktAni|
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
kintu paulaH prOccaistamAhUya kathitavAn pazya vayaM sarvvE'trAsmahE, tvaM nijaprANahiMsAM mAkArSIH|
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
tadA pradIpam AnEtum uktvA sa kampamAnaH san ullampyAbhyantaram Agatya paulasIlayOH pAdESu patitavAn|
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
pazcAt sa tau bahirAnIya pRSTavAn hE mahEcchau paritrANaM prAptuM mayA kiM karttavyaM?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
pazcAt tau svagRhamAnIya tayOH sammukhE khAdyadravyANi sthApitavAn tathA sa svayaM tadIyAH sarvvE parivArAzcEzvarE vizvasantaH sAnanditA abhavan|
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
tasmai tasya gRhasthitasarvvalOkEbhyazca prabhOH kathAM kathitavantau|
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
tathA rAtrEstasminnEva daNPE sa tau gRhItvA tayOH prahArANAM kSatAni prakSAlitavAn tataH sa svayaM tasya sarvvE parijanAzca majjitA abhavan|
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
pazcAt tau svagRhamAnIya tayOH sammukhE khAdyadravyANi sthApitavAn tathA sa svayaM tadIyAH sarvvE parivArAzcEzvarE vizvasantaH sAnanditA abhavan|
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
dina upasthitE tau lOkau mOcayEti kathAM kathayituM zAsakAH padAtigaNaM prESitavantaH|
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
tataH kArArakSakaH paulAya tAM vArttAM kathitavAn yuvAM tyAjayituM zAsakA lOkAna prESitavanta idAnIM yuvAM bahi rbhUtvA kuzalEna pratiSThEtAM|
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
kintu paulastAn avadat rOmilOkayOrAvayOH kamapi dOSam na nizcitya sarvvESAM samakSam AvAM kazayA tAPayitvA kArAyAM baddhavanta idAnIM kimAvAM guptaM vistrakSyanti? tanna bhaviSyati, svayamAgatyAvAM bahiH kRtvA nayantu|
38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
tadA padAtibhiH zAsakEbhya EtadvArttAyAM kathitAyAM tau rOmilOkAviti kathAM zrutvA tE bhItAH
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
