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,

paulO darbbIlustrAnagarayOrupasthitObhavat tatra tImathiyanAmA ziSya Eka AsIt; sa vizvAsinyA yihUdIyAyA yOSitO garbbhajAtaH kintu tasya pitAnyadEzIyalOkaH|

2 who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;

sa janO lustrA-ikaniyanagarasthAnAM bhrAtRNAM samIpEpi sukhyAtimAn AsIt|

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.

paulastaM svasagginaM karttuM matiM kRtvA taM gRhItvA taddEzanivAsinAM yihUdIyAnAm anurOdhAt tasya tvakchEdaM kRtavAn yatastasya pitA bhinnadEzIyalOka iti sarvvairajnjAyata|

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,

tataH paraM tE nagarE nagarE bhramitvA yirUzAlamasthaiH prEritai rlOkaprAcInaizca nirUpitaM yad vyavasthApatraM tadanusArENAcarituM lOkEbhyastad dattavantaH|

5 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;

tEnaiva sarvvE dharmmasamAjAH khrISTadharmmE susthirAH santaH pratidinaM varddhitA abhavan|

6 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

tESu phrugiyAgAlAtiyAdEzamadhyEna gatESu satsu pavitra AtmA tAn AziyAdEzE kathAM prakAzayituM pratiSiddhavAn|

7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,

tathA musiyAdEza upasthAya bithuniyAM gantuM tairudyOgE kRtE AtmA tAn nAnvamanyata|

8 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

tasmAt tE musiyAdEzaM parityajya trOyAnagaraM gatvA samupasthitAH|

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.”

rAtrau paulaH svapnE dRSTavAn EkO mAkidaniyalOkastiSThan vinayaM kRtvA tasmai kathayati, mAkidaniyAdEzam AgatyAsmAn upakurvviti|

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,

tasyEtthaM svapnadarzanAt prabhustaddEzIyalOkAn prati susaMvAdaM pracArayitum asmAn AhUyatIti nizcitaM buddhvA vayaM tUrNaM mAkidaniyAdEzaM gantum udyOgam akurmma|

11 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,

tataH paraM vayaM trOyAnagarAd prasthAya RjumArgENa sAmathrAkiyOpadvIpEna gatvA parE'hani niyApalinagara upasthitAH|

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;

tasmAd gatvA mAkidaniyAntarvvartti rOmIyavasatisthAnaM yat philipInAmapradhAnanagaraM tatrOpasthAya katipayadinAni tatra sthitavantaH|

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,

vizrAmavArE nagarAd bahi rgatvA nadItaTE yatra prArthanAcAra AsIt tatrOpavizya samAgatA nArIH prati kathAM prAcArayAma|

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;

tataH thuyAtIrAnagarIyA dhUSarAmbaravikrAyiNI ludiyAnAmikA yA IzvarasEvikA yOSit zrOtrINAM madhya AsIt tayA paulOktavAkyAni yad gRhyantE tadarthaM prabhustasyA manOdvAraM muktavAn|

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.

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 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;

yasyA gaNanayA tadadhipatInAM bahudhanOpArjanaM jAtaM tAdRzI gaNakabhUtagrastA kAcana dAsI prArthanAsthAnagamanakAla AgatyAsmAn sAkSAt kRtavatI|

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!”

sAsmAkaM paulasya ca pazcAd Etya prOccaiH kathAmimAM kathitavatI, manuSyA EtE sarvvOparisthasyEzvarasya sEvakAH santO'smAn prati paritrANasya mArgaM prakAzayanti|

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.

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 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,

tataH svESAM lAbhasya pratyAzA viphalA jAtEti vilOkya tasyAH prabhavaH paulaM sIlanjca dhRtvAkRSya vicArasthAnE'dhipatInAM samIpam Anayan|

20 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;

tataH zAsakAnAM nikaTaM nItvA rOmilOkA vayam asmAkaM yad vyavaharaNaM grahItum Acaritunjca niSiddhaM,

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

imE yihUdIyalOkAH santOpi tadEva zikSayitvA nagarE'smAkam atIva kalahaM kurvvanti,

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,

iti kathitE sati lOkanivahastayOH prAtikUlyEnOdatiSThat tathA zAsakAstayO rvastrANi chitvA vEtrAghAtaM karttum AjnjApayan|

23 having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to 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, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.

ittham AjnjAM prApya sa tAvabhyantarasthakArAM nItvA pAdESu pAdapAzIbhi rbaddhvA sthApitAvAn|

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,

atha nizIthasamayE paulasIlAvIzvaramuddizya prAthanAM gAnanjca kRtavantau, kArAsthitA lOkAzca tadazRNvan

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;

tadAkasmAt mahAn bhUmikampO'bhavat tEna bhittimUlEna saha kArA kampitAbhUt tatkSaNAt sarvvANi dvArANi muktAni jAtAni sarvvESAM bandhanAni ca muktAni|

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,

ataEva kArArakSakO nidrAtO jAgaritvA kArAyA dvArANi muktAni dRSTvA bandilOkAH palAyitA ityanumAya kOSAt khaggaM bahiH kRtvAtmaghAtaM karttum udyataH|

28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”

kintu paulaH prOccaistamAhUya kathitavAn pazya vayaM sarvvE'trAsmahE, tvaM nijaprANahiMsAM mAkArSIH|

29 And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,

tadA pradIpam AnEtum uktvA sa kampamAnaH san ullampyAbhyantaram Agatya paulasIlayOH pAdESu patitavAn|

30 and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may 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 you will be saved—you and your household.”

pazcAt tau svagRhamAnIya tayOH sammukhE khAdyadravyANi sthApitavAn tathA sa svayaM tadIyAH sarvvE parivArAzcEzvarE vizvasantaH sAnanditA abhavan|

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

tasmai tasya gRhasthitasarvvalOkEbhyazca prabhOH kathAM kathitavantau|

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,

tathA rAtrEstasminnEva daNPE sa tau gRhItvA tayOH prahArANAM kSatAni prakSAlitavAn tataH sa svayaM tasya sarvvE parijanAzca majjitA abhavan|

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.

pazcAt tau svagRhamAnIya tayOH sammukhE khAdyadravyANi sthApitavAn tathA sa svayaM tadIyAH sarvvE parivArAzcEzvarE vizvasantaH sAnanditA abhavan|

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

dina upasthitE tau lOkau mOcayEti kathAM kathayituM zAsakAH padAtigaNaM prESitavantaH|

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”;

tataH kArArakSakaH paulAya tAM vArttAM kathitavAn yuvAM tyAjayituM zAsakA lOkAna prESitavanta idAnIM yuvAM bahi rbhUtvA kuzalEna pratiSThEtAM|

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.”

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 rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,

tadA padAtibhiH zAsakEbhya EtadvArttAyAM kathitAyAM tau rOmilOkAviti kathAM zrutvA tE bhItAH

39 and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;

santastayOH sannidhimAgatya vinayam akurvvan aparaM bahiH kRtvA nagarAt prasthAtuM prArthitavantaH|

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.
