Acts 16
1 He came also to Derbe and Lystra. And look, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who believed; but his father was a Greek.
Pervenit autem in Derben, et Lystram. Et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibi nomine Timotheus, filius mulieris Iudaeae fidelis, patre Gentili.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Huic testimonium bonum reddebant qui in Lystris erant, et Iconio fratres.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Hunc voluit Paulus secum proficisci: et assumens circumcidit eum propter Iudaeos, qui erant in illis locis. Sciebant enim omnes quod pater eius erat Gentilis.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Cum autem pertransirent civitates, tradebant eis custodiri dogmata, quae erant decreta ab Apostolis et senioribus, qui erant Ierosolymis.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Et Ecclesiae quidem confirmabantur fide, et abundabunt numero quotidie.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Transeuntes autem Phrygiam, et Galatiae regionem, vetati sunt a Spiritu sancto loqui verbum Dei in Asia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
Cum venissent autem in Mysiam, tentabant ire in Bithyniam: et non permisit eos Spiritus Iesu.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Cum autem pertransissent Mysiam, descenderunt Troadem:
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."
et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est: Vir Macedo quidam erat stans, et deprecans eum, et dicens: Transiens in Macedoniam, adiuva nos.
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to proclaim the Good News to them.
Ut autem visum vidit, statim quaesivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quod vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.
11 Then, setting sail from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Navigantes autem a Troade, recto cursu venimus Samothraciam, et sequenti die Neapolim:
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a principle city of that district of Macedonia, a colony. We were staying some days in this city.
et inde Philippos, quae est prima partis Macedoniae civitas, colonia. Eramus autem in hac Urbe diebus aliquot, consistentes.
13 On the Sabbath day we went forth outside of the gate by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.
Die autem sabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam iuxta flumen, ubi videbatur oratio esse: et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus, quae convenerant.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Et quaedam mulier nomine Lydia, purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum, colens Deum, audivit: cuius Dominus aperuit cor intendere his, quae dicebantur a Paulo.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay." So she persuaded us.
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 It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of Python met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
Factum est autem euntibus nobis ad orationem, puellam quamdam habentem spiritum pythonem obviare nobis, quae quaestum magnum praestabat dominis suis divinando.
17 She followed Paul and us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."
Haec subsecuta Paulum, et nos, clamabat dicens: Isti homines servi Dei excelsi sunt, qui annunciant vobis viam salutis.
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out at once.
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 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Videntes autem domini eius quia exivit spes quaestus eorum, apprehendentes Paulum, et Silam perduxerunt in forum ad principes:
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
et offerentes eos magistratibus, dixerunt: Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sint Iudaei:
21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."
et annunciant morem, quem non licet nobis suscipere, neque facere, cum simus Romani.
22 The crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Et cucurrit plebs adversus eos: et magistratus, scissis tunicis eorum, iusserunt eos virgis caedi.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
Et cum multas plagas eis imposuissent, miserunt eos in carcerem, praecipientes custodi ut diligenter custodiret eos.
24 who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
Qui cum tale praeceptum accepisset, misit eos in interiorem carcerem, et pedes eorum strinxit ligno.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Media autem nocte Paulus, et Silas orantes, laudabant Deum: et audiebant eos, qui in custodia erant.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were loosened.
Subito vero terraemotus factus est magnus, ita ut moverentur fundamenta carceris. Et statim aperta sunt omnia ostia: et universorum vincula soluta sunt.
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Expergefactus autem custos carceris, et videns ianuas apertas carceris, evaginato gladio volebat se interficere, aestimans fugisse vinctos.
28 But Paul shouted loudly, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
Clamavit autem Paulus voce magna, dicens: Nihil tibi mali feceris: universi enim hic sumus.
29 He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Petitoque lumine, introgressus est: et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silae ad pedes:
30 and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
et producens eos foras, ait: Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam?
31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
At illi dixerunt: Crede in Dominum Iesum: et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Et locuti sunt ei verbum Domini cum omnibus, qui erant in domo eius.
33 He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Et tollens eos in illa hora noctis, lavit plagas eorum: et baptizatus est ipse, et omnis domus eius continuo.
34 He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
Cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam, apposuit eis mensam, et laetatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those men go."
Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores, dicentes: Dimitte homines illos.
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace."
Nunciavit autem custos carceris verba haec Paulo: Quia miserunt magistratus ut dimittamini, nunc igitur exeuntes, ite in pace.
37 But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison. Do they now release us secretly? No indeed. Let them come themselves and bring us out."
Paulus autem dixit eis: Caesos nos publice, indemnatos, homines Romanos miserunt in carcerem, et nunc occulte nos eiiciunt? Non ita: sed veniant,
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
et ipsi nos eiiciant. Nunciaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba haec. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent:
39 and they came and apologized to them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
et venientes deprecati sunt eos, et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur de Urbe.
40 They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
Exeuntes autem de carcere, introierunt ad Lydiam: et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos, et profecti sunt.
