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,
Pervenit autem Derben et Lystram. Et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibi nomine Timotheus, filius mulieris Judææ fidelis, patre gentili.
2 who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;
Huic testimonium bonum reddebant qui in Lystris erant et Iconio fratres.
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.
Hunc voluit Paulus secum proficisci: et assumens circumcidit eum propter Judæos qui erant in illis locis. Sciebant enim omnes quod pater ejus erat gentilis.
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,
Cum autem pertransirent civitates, tradebant eis custodiri dogmata quæ erant decreta ab Apostolis et senioribus qui erant Jerosolymis.
5 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
Et ecclesiæ quidem confirmabantur fide, et abundabunt numero quotidie.
6 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Transeuntes autem Phrygiam et Galatiæ regionem, vetati sunt a Spiritu Sancto loqui verbum Dei in Asia.
7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
Cum venissent autem in Mysiam, tentabant ire in Bithyniam: et non permisit eos Spiritus Jesu.
8 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Cum autem pertransissent Mysiam, descenderunt Troadem:
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.”
et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est: vir Macedo quidam erat stans et deprecans eum, et dicens: Transiens in Macedoniam, adjuva nos.
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,
Ut autem visum vidit, statim quæsivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quod vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.
11 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,
Navigantes autem a Troade, recto cursu venimus Samothraciam, et sequenti die Neapolim:
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;
et inde Philippos, quæ est prima partis Macedoniæ civitas, colonia. Eramus autem in hac urbe diebus aliquot, conferentes.
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,
Die autem sabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam juxta flumen, ubi videbatur oratio esse: et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus quæ convenerant.
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;
Et quædam mulier nomine Lydia, purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum, colens Deum, audivit: cujus Dominus aperuit cor intendere his quæ dicebantur a Paulo.
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.
Cum autem baptizata esset, et domus ejus, deprecata est, dicens: Si judicastis me fidelem Domino esse, introite in domum meam, et manete. Et coëgit nos.
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;
Factum est autem euntibus nobis ad orationem, puellam quamdam habentem spiritum pythonem obviare nobis, quæ quæstum magnum præstabat dominis suis divinando.
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!”
Hæc subsecuta Paulum et nos, clamabat dicens: Isti homines servi Dei excelsi sunt, qui annuntiant vobis viam salutis.
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.
Hoc autem faciebat multis diebus. Dolens autem Paulus, et conversus, spiritui dixit: Præcipio tibi in nomine Jesu Christi exire ab ea. Et exiit eadem hora.
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,
Videntes autem domini ejus quia exivit spes quæstus eorum, apprehendentes Paulum et Silam, perduxerunt in forum ad principes:
20 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;
et offerentes eos magistratibus, dixerunt: Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sint Judæi:
21 and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
et annuntiant morem quem non licet nobis suscipere neque facere, cum simus Romani.
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,
Et cucurrit plebs adversus eos: et magistratus, scissis tunicis eorum, jusserunt eos virgis cædi.
23 having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
Et cum multas plagas eis imposuissent, miserunt eos in carcerem, præcipientes custodi ut diligenter custodiret eos.
24 who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Qui cum tale præceptum accepisset, misit eos in interiorem carcerem, et pedes eorum strinxit ligno.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
Media autem nocte Paulus et Silas orantes, laudabant Deum: et audiebant eos qui in custodia erant.
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;
Subito vero terræmotus factus est magnus, ita ut moverentur fundamenta carceris. Et statim aperta sunt omnia ostia: et universorum vincula soluta sunt.
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,
Expergefactus autem custos carceris, et videns januas apertas carceris, evaginato gladio volebat se interficere, æstimans fugisse vinctos.
28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”
Clamavit autem Paulus voce magna, dicens: Nihil tibi mali feceris: universi enim hic sumus.
29 And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
Petitoque lumine, introgressus est: et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silæ ad pedes:
30 and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”
et producens eos foras, ait: Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam?
31 And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
At illi dixerunt: Crede in Dominum Jesum, et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;
Et locuti sunt ei verbum Domini cum omnibus qui erant in domo ejus.
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,
Et tollens eos in illa hora noctis, lavit plagas eorum: et baptizatus est ipse, et omnis domus ejus continuo.
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.
Cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam, apposuit eis mensam, et lætatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo.
35 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;
Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores, dicentes: Dimitte homines illos.
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”;
Nuntiavit autem custos carceris verba hæc Paulo: Quia miserunt magistratus ut dimittamini: nunc igitur exeuntes, ite in pace.
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.”
Paulus autem dixit eis: Cæsos nos publice, indemnatos homines Romanos, miserunt in carcerem: et nunc occulte nos ejiciunt? Non ita: sed veniant,
38 And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
et ipsi nos ejiciant. Nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba hæc. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent:
39 and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;
et venientes deprecati sunt eos, et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur de urbe.
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.
Exeuntes autem de carcere, introierunt ad Lydiam: et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos, et profecti sunt.
