Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁ ⲉⲇⲉⲣⲃⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲥⲧⲣⲁ. ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲏ. ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ.
2 who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;
ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲛⲉⲩⲣ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲥⲇⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲓⲕⲟⲛⲓⲟⲥ.
3 Paul wished this one to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he was a Greek.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲁϥⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
4 And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩϯ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲇⲟⲅⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
5 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲕⲕⲗⲏⲥⲓⲁ ϭⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲡⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲛⲉ.
6 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲫⲣⲩⲅⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲅⲁⲗⲁⲧⲓⲁ. ⲉⲁⲩⲕⲱⲗⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϫⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ.
7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲩⲑⲩⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅.
8 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲁⲧⲧⲙⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ.
9 And a vision through the night appeared to Paul—a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling on him, and saying, “Having passed through to Macedonia, help us.”
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ ϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲱⲛ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲅ̅ⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
10 And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news to them,
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲁϩⲙⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲩ.
11 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲕⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ ⲁⲛⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲥⲁⲙⲟⲑⲣⲁⲕⲏ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲁⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ.
12 there also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were abiding in this city some days;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉⲣⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲛⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ.
13 on the day of the Sabbaths we also went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲩⲗⲏ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲟ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϣⲁⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ.
14 and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing, whose heart the LORD opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲗⲩⲇⲓⲁ. ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲛϫⲏϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲩⲁⲧⲓⲣⲁ. ⲉⲥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϩⲏⲧ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲥϯϩⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
15 and when she was immersed, and her household, she called on us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, having entered into my house, remain”; and she constrained us.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲥⲏⲓ̈. ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡⲛ̅ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲁⲁⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲙⲏⲓ̈ⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲏⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲥⲱⲕ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϫⲛⲁϩ.
16 And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying;
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ. ⲟⲩϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲥ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲉⲥϯ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲥϣⲓⲛⲉ.
17 she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us [the] way of salvation!”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲁⲥⲟⲩⲁϩⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ. ⲁⲥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ. ⲉⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
18 And this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her”; and it came forth the same hour.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲟϫϩϫ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ϫⲉ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
19 And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] into the marketplace, to the rulers,
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲃⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩϩⲱⲃ. ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲕ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲟⲣⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ
20 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;

21 and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”

22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲡⲉϩⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϭⲉⲣⲟⲟⲃ.
23 having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲛⲁⲩϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ. ⲉⲁⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲣϫ̅.
24 who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ⲉⲧϩⲓϩⲟⲩⲛ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩ(ⲉ)ⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲉ.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,

26 and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, also all the doors were immediately opened, and of all—the bands were loosed;
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲥⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲕⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ. ⲁⲛ̅ⲣⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
27 and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled,
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲏⲛ. ⲁϥⲧⲉⲕⲙⲧⲉϥⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲟⲧⲃⲉϥ ⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲥⲙⲏ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲣ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ. ⲧⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲁ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲛ̅.
29 And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲕⲱϩⲧ̅ ⲁϥⲡⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲁϩⲧϥ̅ ϩⲁⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲥⲧⲱⲧ.
30 and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”

31 And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”

32 And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;

33 and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he bathed [them] from the blows, and immediately he and all of his were immersed,

34 having also brought them into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.

35 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;

36 and the jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace”;
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ⲧⲁⲙⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲉⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲧⲁⲩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲕⲁⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲧⲉ(ⲛⲟⲩ) ϭⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲓ̈ⲧⲛ̅ ⲃⲱⲕ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ.
37 and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲇⲏⲙⲟⲥⲓⲁ. ⲉⲁⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫⲛ̅ ⲉⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ. ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϫⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
38 And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲣ̅ϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲉⲛⲉⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲓ̈ϣⲁϫⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛϩⲣⲱⲙⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ.
39 and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;

40 and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
