Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but whose father was a Greek;
Ó sì wá sí Dabe àti Lysra: sí kíyèsi i, ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kan wà níbẹ̀, tí a ń pè ní Timotiu, ọmọ obìnrin kan tí í ṣe Júù, tí ó gbàgbọ́; ṣùgbọ́n Giriki ní baba rẹ̀.
2 who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Ẹni tí a ròhìn rẹ̀ ní rere lọ́dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin tí ó wà ní Lysra àti Ikoniomu.
3 Him Paul wished to go forth with him, and took and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Òun ni Paulu fẹ́ kí ó bá òun lọ; ó sì mú un, ó sì kọ ọ́ ní ilà, nítorí àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní agbègbè wọ̀nyí, nítorí gbogbo wọn mọ̀ pé, Giriki ni baba rẹ̀.
4 And as they journeyed through the cities, they delivered to them for their observance the decrees which had been ordained by the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
Bí wọn sì ti ń la àwọn ìlú lọ, wọ́n ń fi àwọn àṣẹ, tí a tí pinnu láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn aposteli àti àwọn alàgbà tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu, lé wọn lọ́wọ́ láti máa pa wọ́n mọ́.
5 The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ìjọ sì fẹsẹ̀múlẹ̀ ní ìgbàgbọ́, wọn sí ń pọ̀ sí i ní iye lójoojúmọ́.
6 And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
Wọ́n sì la agbègbè Frigia já, àti Galatia, nítorí tí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ kọ̀ fún wọn láti sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà ni Asia.
7 they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ọ̀kánkán Misia, wọ́n gbìyànjú láti lọ sí Bitinia, ṣùgbọ́n Ẹ̀mí Jesu kò gbà fún wọn.
8 And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì kọjá lẹ́bàá Misia, wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Troasi.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia beseeching him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.
Ìran kan si hàn sì Paulu ni òru, ọkùnrin kan ará Makedonia dúró, ó sì ń bẹ̀ ẹ́, wí pé, “Rékọjá wá sí Makedonia, kí o sí ràn wá lọ́wọ́!”
10 And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to publish the glad tidings to them.
Nígbà tí ó sì tí rí ìran náà, lọ́gán ó múra láti lọ sí Makedonia, a ka á sí pé, Ọlọ́run tí pè wá láti wàásù ìyìnrere fún wọn.
11 And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;
Nítorí náà nígbà tí àwa ṣíkọ̀ ní Troasi a ba ọ̀nà tààrà lọ sí Samotrakea, ni ọjọ́ kejì a sì dé Neapoli;
12 and thence to Philippi, which is a chief city of the province of Macedonia, a colony. And we remained in the city some days.
láti ibẹ̀ àwa sì lọ si Filipi, tí í ṣe ìlú Makedonia, olú ìlú ìhà ibẹ̀, ìlú lábẹ́ Romu, àwa sì jókòó ní ìlú yìí fún ọjọ́ mélòó kan.
13 And on the sabbath-day we went forth out of the gate to a river-side, where was wont to be a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had assembled.
Lọ́jọ́ ìsinmi, àwa sí jáde lọ sí ẹ̀yìn odi ìlú náà, lẹ́bàá odò kan, níbi tí a rò pé ibi àdúrà wà; àwa sí jókòó, a sì bá àwọn obìnrin tí o péjọ sọ̀rọ̀.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, was listening; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Àti obìnrin kan tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Lidia, elése àlùkò, ará ìlú Tiatira, ẹni tí ó sin Ọlọ́run, ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wa, ọkàn ẹni tí Olúwa ṣí láti fetísí ohun tí a tí ẹnu Paulu sọ.
15 And when she had been baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide. And she constrained us.
Nígbà tí a sí bamitiisi rẹ̀, àti àwọn ara ilé rẹ̀, ó bẹ̀ wá, wí pé, “Bí ẹ̀yin bá kà mí ni olóòtítọ́ sí Olúwa, ẹ wá si ilé mi, kí ẹ sí wọ̀ níbẹ̀!” O sí rọ̀ wá.
16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain bond-maid having a soothsaying spirit met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
Bí àwa tí n lọ sí ibi àdúrà náà, ọmọbìnrin kan tí o ní ẹ̀mí àfọ̀ṣẹ, pàdé wa, ẹni tí ó fi àfọ̀ṣẹ mú èrè púpọ̀ wá fún àwọn ọ̀gá rẹ̀.
17 This woman followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to you the way of salvation.
Òun náà ni ó ń tọ Paulu àti àwa lẹ́hìn, ó sì ń kígbe, pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí ni ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo, tí ń kéde ọ̀nà ìgbàlà fún yin!”
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being much displeased, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out immediately.
Ó sì ń ṣe èyí lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí inú Paulu bàjẹ́, tí ó sì yípadà, ó wí fún ẹ̀mí náà pé, “Mo pàṣẹ fún ọ ní orúkọ Jesu Kristi kí o jáde kúrò lára rẹ̀!” Ó sí jáde ni wákàtí kan náà.
19 But her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, laid hold of Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market-place to the rulers;
Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀gá rẹ̀ sì rí i pé, ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé èrè wọn pin, wọ́n mú Paulu àti Sila, wọn sì wọ́ wọn lọ sí ọjà tọ àwọn aláṣẹ lọ.
20 and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì mú wọn tọ àwọn onídàájọ́ lọ, wọ́n wí pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí tí í ṣe Júù, wọ́n ń yọ ìlú wa lẹ́nu jọjọ,
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.
wọ́n sì ń kọ́ni ní àṣà tí kò yẹ fún wa, àwa ẹni tí í ṣe ara Romu, láti gbà àti láti tẹ̀lé.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;
Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sí jùmọ̀ dìde sì Paulu àti Sila. Àwọn olórí sí fà wọ́n ní aṣọ ya, wọ́n sí pàṣẹ pé, ki a fi ọ̀gọ̀ lù wọ́n.
23 and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì lù wọ́n púpọ̀, wọ́n sọ wọ́n sínú túbú, wọ́n kìlọ̀ fún onítúbú kí ó pa wọ́n mọ́ dáradára.
24 who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ irú ìkìlọ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀, ó sọ̀ wọ́n sínú túbú tí inú lọ́hùn, ó sí kan àbà mọ wọ́n lẹ́sẹ̀.
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
Ṣùgbọ́n láàrín ọ̀gànjọ́ Paulu àti Sila ń gbàdúrà, wọ́n sì ń kọrin ìyìn si Ọlọ́run, àwọn ara túbú sì ń tẹ́tí sí wọn.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
Lójijì ilẹ̀ mímì ńlá sì mi, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìpìlẹ̀ ilé túbú mì tìtì: lọ́gán, gbogbo ìlẹ̀kùn sì ṣí, ìdè gbogbo wọn sì tú sílẹ̀.
27 And the jailer awakening out of sleep, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Nígbà tí onítúbú si tají, tí o sì ri pé, àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn túbú tí ṣí sílẹ̀, ó fa idà rẹ̀ yọ, ó sì fẹ́ pa ara rẹ̀, ó ṣe bí àwọn ara túbú ti sálọ.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Ṣùgbọ́n Paulu gbé ohun rẹ̀ sókè, wí pé, “Má ṣe pa ara rẹ lára: nítorí gbogbo wa ń bẹ níhìn-ín yìí!”
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;
Nígbà tí ó sì béèrè iná, ó bẹ́ wọ inú ilé, ó ń wárìrì, ó wólẹ̀ níwájú Paulu àti Sila.
30 and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Ó sì mú wọn jáde, ó ní, “Alàgbà, kín ni ki èmi ṣe ki n lè là?”
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.
Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Gbá Jesu Kristi Olúwa gbọ́, a ó sì gbà ọ́ là, ìwọ àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ pẹ̀lú.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Wọ́n sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa fún un, àti fún gbogbo àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀.
33 And he took them with him at that hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and he was immediately baptized, himself and all that belonged to him.
Ó sì mú wọn ní wákàtí náà lóru, ó wẹ ọgbẹ́ wọn; a sì bamitiisi rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ lójúkan náà.
34 And when he had brought them up into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced with all his house, having become a believer in God.
Ó sì mú wọn wá sí ilé rẹ̀, ó sì gbé oúnjẹ kalẹ̀ níwájú wọn, ó sì yọ̀ gidigidi pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀, nítorí ó gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ilẹ̀ mọ́, àwọn onídàájọ́ rán àwọn ọlọ́pàá pé, “Tú àwọn ènìyàn náà sílẹ̀.”
36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, and go in peace.
Onítúbú sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà fún Paulu, wí pé, “Àwọn onídàájọ́ ránṣẹ́ pé kí á da ìwọ àti Sila sílẹ̀. Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí ẹ jáde kí ẹ sì máa lọ ní àlàáfíà.”
37 But Paul said to them, They have publicly beaten us uncondemned, although we are Romans, and have thrust us into prison; and now do they thrust us out secretly? No; but let them come themselves, and bring us out.
Ṣùgbọ́n Paulu wí fún wọn pé, “Wọ́n lù wá ni gbangba, wọ́n sì sọ wá sínú túbú ni àìjẹ̀bi, àwa ẹni tí ì ṣe ara Romu. Ṣe nísinsin yìí wọ́n fẹ́ tì wá jáde níkọ̀kọ̀? Rara! Ṣùgbọ́n kí àwọn tìkára wọn wá mú wa jáde!”
38 And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
Àwọn ọlọ́pàá sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún àwọn onídàájọ́: ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n, nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ pé ará Romu ni Paulu àti Sila.
39 And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.
Wọ́n sì wá, wọ́n ṣìpẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ wọ́n, wọn sì mú wọn jáde, wọ́n sì bẹ̀ wọ́n pé, ki wọn jáde kúrò ni ìlú náà.
40 And when they had come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they saw the brethren, they exhorted them, and departed.
Paulu àti Sila sì jáde nínú túbú, wọ́n sì wọ ilé Lidia lọ, nígbà tí wọn sì tí rí àwọn arákùnrin, wọ́n tù wọ́n nínú, wọn sì jáde kúrò.
