Acts 16
1 Among other places Paul went to Derbe and Lystra. At the latter place they found a disciple, named Timothy, whose mother was a Jewish woman who was a believer, while his father was a Greek,
Nakarating din si Pablo sa Derbe at Listra, at masdan ito, naroon ang isang alagad na nagngangalang Timoteo, anak ng isang babaeng Judio na mananampalataya; ang kaniyang ama ay isang Griego.
2 and who was well spoken of by the followers of the Lord in Lystra and Iconium.
Maganda ang sinasabi tungkol sa kaniya ng mga kapatiran na taga Listra at Iconio.
3 Wishing to take this man with him on his journey, Paul caused him to be circumcised out of consideration for the Jews in that region, for they all knew that his father had been a Greek.
Gusto ni Pablo na makasama siya sa paglalakbay; kaya siya ay isinama niya at tinuli dahil sa mga Judio na nasa lugar na iyon, sapagkat alam nilang lahat na ang kaniyang ama ay isang Griego.
4 As they traveled from town to town, they gave the followers the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and church elders at Jerusalem, for them to observe.
Nang sila ay patungo na sa mga lungsod, inihatid nila sa mga Iglesia ang mga tagubilin upang kanilang sundin, mga tagubilin na isinulat ng mga apostol at ng mga nakatatanda sa Jerusalem.
5 So the churches grew stronger in the faith, and increased in numbers from day to day.
Kaya napalakas sa pananampalataya ang mga iglesia at dumami ang kanilang bilang araw-araw.
6 They next went through the Phrygian district of Galatia, but were restrained by the Holy Spirit from delivering the message in Roman Asia.
Tumungo si Pablo at ang kaniyang mga kasama sa mga lupain ng Frigia at Galacia, dahil hindi pinahintulutan ng Banal na Espiritu na mangaral sila ng salita ng Diyos sa probinsiya ng Asia.
7 When they reached the borders of Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
Nang malapit na sila sa Misia, ninais nila na tumungo sa Bitinia, ngunit hindi sila pinahintulutan ng Espiritu ni Jesus.
8 Passing through Mysia, they went down to Troas;
Kaya ng makalampas sila sa Misia, tumungo sila sa lungsod ng Troas.
9 and there one night Paul saw a vision. A Macedonian was standing and appealing to him – ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’
Isang pangitain ang nakita ni Pablo ng gabing iyon: may isang lalaki na Macedonia ang nakatayo doon na tumatawag sa kaniya at nagsasabing, “Tumungo kayo dito sa Macedonia at tulungan kami.”
10 So, immediately after Paul had seen the vision, we looked for an opportunity to cross over to Macedonia, concluding that God had summoned us to tell the good news to the people there.
Nang makita ni Pablo ang pangitain, nagmamadali kaming pumunta sa Macedonia, pinatutunayan na tinawag kami ng Diyos upang ipangaral ang ebanghelyo sa kanila.
11 Accordingly we set sail from Troas, and ran before the wind to Samothrace, reaching Neapolis the next day.
Pagkalayag namin galing ng Troas, dumiretso kami sa Samotracia at nang sumunod na araw kami ay dumating sa Neapolis;
12 From there we made our way to Philippi, which is the principal city of that part of Macedonia, and also a Roman Settlement. In that city we spent several days.
Mula roon ay pumunta kami sa Filipos, isang lungsod ng Macedonia, ang pinakamahalagang lungsod sa distrito at nasasakupan ng Roma, at nanatili kami sa lungsod na ito ng ilang araw.
13 On the Sabbath we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who were gathered there.
Nang Araw ng Pamamahinga lumabas kami sa tarangkahan sa may tabi ng ilog, na kung saan naisip namin na may lugar doon upang manalangin. Naupo kami at nakipag usap sa mga nagtipon-tipon na mga babae.
14 Among them was a woman, named Lydia, belonging to Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth, who was accustomed to join in the worship of God. The Lord touched this woman’s heart, so that she gave attention to the message delivered by Paul,
May isang babae na nagngangalang Lidia ang nagbebenta ng mga tela na kulay lila na nanggaling sa lungsod ng Tiatira na sumasamba sa Diyos, nakinig siya sa amin. Binuksan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang puso upang bigyangpansin ang mga bagay na sinabi ni Pablo.
15 and, when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us to become her guests. “Since you have shown your conviction,” she said, “that I really am a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house.” And she insisted on our doing so.
Nang mabautismuhan siya at ang kaniyang sambahayan, hinikayat niya kami, at nagsasabing, “Kung itinuturing ninyo na ako ay matapat sa Panginoon, pumunta kayo sa aking bahay, at manatili roon.” At nahikayat niya kami.
16 One day, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, we were met by a girl possessed by a divining spirit, who made large profits for her masters by fortune-telling.
Nangyari nga, habang kami ay patungo sa lugar ng panalanginan, nasalubong namin ang isang batang babae na may espritu ng panghuhula. Nagdadala siya sa kaniyang mga amo ng maraming pakinabang sa pamamagitan ng panghuhula.
17 This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, calling, “These men are servants of the most high God, and they are bringing you news of a way to salvation.”
Sumunod ang babaeng ito kay Pablo at sa amin at sumigaw, na nagsasabing, “Ang mga taong ito ay mga lingkod ng Kataas-taasang Diyos. Nagpapahayag sila sa inyo ng daan ng kaligtasan.”
18 She had been doing this for several days, when Paul, much vexed, turned and said to the spirit within her, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to leave her.” That very moment the spirit left her.
Ginawa niya ito sa loob ng maraming araw. Ngunit si Pablo nang lubhang nainis sa kaniya ay lumingon at sinabi sa espiritu, “Inuutos ko saiyo sa pangalan ni Jesu Cristo lumabas ka sa kaniya.” At agad itong lumabas.
19 When her masters saw that there was no hope of further profit from her, they seized Paul and Silas, dragged them into the public square to the authorities,
Nang makita ng kaniyang mga amo na ang kanilang pag-asa sa pinag kakakitaan ay nawala, sinunggaban nila si Pablo at Silas at kinaladkad sila sa pamilihan at iniharap sa mga may kapangyarihan.
20 and took them before the Magistrates. “These men are causing a great disturbance in our town,” they complained;
Nang dinala sila sa mga hukom, sinabi nilang, “Judio ang mga taong ito at sila ay gumagawa ng maraming kaguluhan sa ating lungsod.
21 “They are Jews, and they are teaching customs which it is not right for us, as Romans, to sanction or adopt.”
Nagtuturo sila ng mga bagay na hindi naaayon sa ating batas upang tanggapin o gawin bilang mga Romano.”
22 The mob rose as one person against them, and the Magistrates stripped them of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
At nagkaisa ang napakaraming tao laban kina Pablo at Silas; Pinunit ng mga hukom ang kanilang mga damit at nag-utos na hampasin sila ng pamalo.
23 After beating them severely, the Magistrates put them in prison, with orders to the jailer to keep them in safe custody.
Nang mapalo na sila ng maraming beses, ipinatapon sila sa bilangguan at inutusan ang bantay ng bilangguan na sila ay bantayang maigi.
24 On receiving so strict an order, the Governor put them into the inner cell, and secured their feet in the stocks.
Pagkatapos niyang matanggap ang utos na ito, pinasok sila ng bantay sa kaloob-looban ng bilangguan at ikinadena ang kanilang paa sa pagitan ng dalawang mabibigat na kahoy.
25 About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the prisoners were listening to them,
Nang maghahating gabi na sina Pablo at Silas ay nananalangin at umaawit ng mga himno sa Diyos, at nakikinig ang ibang bilanggo sa kanila.
26 suddenly there was an earthquake of such violence that the jail was shaken to its foundations; all the doors flew open, and all the prisoners’ chains were loosened.
Biglang may malakas na lindol, kaya't ang mga pundasyon ng bilangguan ay nayanig; at agad nagbukas ang lahat ng mga pintuan, at nakalas ang kadena ng bawat isa.
27 Roused from his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, the Governor drew his sword intending to kill himself, in the belief that the prisoners had escaped.
Nagising ang bantay sa kaniyang pagkakatulog at nakitang bukas ang mga pintuan ng bilangguan; hinugot niya ang kaniyang espada at magpapakamatay na sana, dahil inakala niyang nakatakas ang mga bilanggo.
28 But Paul called our loudly, “Do not harm yourself; we are all here.”
Ngunit sumigaw si Pablo ng may malakas na boses na nagsasabing, “Huwag mong saktan ang iyong sarili, narito kaming lahat.”
29 Calling for a light, the Governor rushed in, and flung himself trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.
Humingi ng ilaw ang bantay ng bilangguan at nagmamadaling pumasok na nanginginig sa takot at nagpatirapa kina Pablo at Silas,
30 Then he led them out, and said, “What must I do to be saved?”
at inilabas sila at nagsabing, “Mga ginoo, ano ang dapat kong gawin upang maligtas?”
31 “Believe in Jesus, our Lord,” they replied, “and you will be saved, you and your household too.”
Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Manampalataya ka sa Panginoong Jesus at ikaw ay maliligtas, ikaw at ang buo mong sambahayan.”
32 Then they spoke to him of God’s message, and to all his household as well.
Ipinahayag nila ang salita ng Panginoon sa kaniya, kasama ang lahat sa kaniyang tahanan.
33 And that very hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds, and he himself and everyone belonging to him were baptized without delay.
Nang gabing iyon kinuha sila ng bantay ng bilanguan sa oras ding iyon at hinugasan ang kanilang mga sugat at siya at ang lahat ng kaniyang sambahayan ay agad na nabautismuhan.
34 Afterward he took them up to his house and set before them something to eat, rejoicing that he, with all his household, had come to believe in God.
Dinala niya si Pablo at Silas sa kaniyang tahanan at naghain ng pagkain para sa kanila. Siya ay lubhang nagalak kasama ang lahat ng kaniyang sambahayan, dahil lahat sila ay nanampalataya sa Diyos.
35 In the morning the Magistrates sent the guards with an order for the men to be discharged.
Nang umaga na, nagpaabot ang mga hukom ng pahayag sa mga bantay, na nagsasabing, “Hayaan na ninyong makalaya ang mga lalaking iyon.”
36 The jailer told Paul of his instructions. “The Magistrates have sent an order for your discharge,” he said, “so you had better leave the place at once and go quietly away.”
Ibinalita ng bantay ang mensahe kay Pablo, na nagsasabing, “Ang mga hukom ay nagpaabot ng mensahe sa akin na kayo ay palayain na; kaya ngayon ay lumabas na kayo at humayo na may kapayapaan.”
37 But Paul’s answer to them was, “They have flogged us in public without trial, though we are Roman citizens, and they have put us in prison, and now they are for sending us out secretly! No, indeed! Let them come and take us out themselves.”
Ngunit sinabi ni Pablo sa kanila, “Hayagan nila kaming hinampas, mga Romano kaming hindi nahatulan at pinatapon kami sa bilangguan; at ngayo'y palalayain kami ng lihim? Hindi maaari; hayaan ninyo sila mismo ang pumarito at dalhin tayo palabas.”
38 The guards reported his words to the Magistrates, who, on hearing that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, were alarmed,
Binalita ng mga bantay ang mga salitang ito sa mga hukom; natakot ang mga hukom nang kanilang marinig na sina Pablo at Silas ay mga Romano.
39 and went to the prison, and did their best to conciliate them. Then they took them out, and begged them to leave the city.
Dumating ang mga hukom at nagmakaawa sa kanila; at nang inilabas nila sila sa bilangguan, pinakiusapan nila si Pablo at si Silas na umalis na sa lungsod.
40 When Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, and, after they had seen the Lord’s followers, and encouraged them, they left the place.
Kaya lumabas na ng bilangguansina Pablo at Silas at nagtungo sa bahay ni Lidia. Nang makita nina Pablo at Silas ang mga kapatid, pinalakas nila ang kanilang kalooban at sila ay umalis mula sa lungsod.
