Acts 16
1 Paul [and Silas] to Derbe [city and visited the believers there]. Next [they went to] Lystra [city]. A believer whose name was Timothy lived there. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was a Greek.
О И като видя видението, веднага потърсихме случай да отидем в Македония, като дойдохме до заключение, че Бог ни призовава да проповядваме благовестието на тях.
2 The believers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy,
О И като ги изведоха при градските съдии рекоха: Тия човеци са Юдеи и много смущават града ни,
3 and Paul wanted to take Timothy with him [when he went] to other places, so he circumcised Timothy. [He did that so that] the Jews who lived in those places [would accept Timothy], because they knew that his non-Jewish father [had not allowed him to be circumcised] {[anyone to circumcise his son]}.
Него Павел пожела да води със себе си, затова взе та го обряза поради юдеите, които бяха по ония места; понеже всички знаяха, че баща му беше, грък.
4 [So Timothy went with Paul and Silas] and they traveled to many other towns. [In each town] they told [the] believers the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem {that the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had decided} that [non-Jewish] believers should obey.
И като ходеха по градовете, предаваха им наредбите определени от апостолите и презвитерите в Ерусалим, за да ги пазят.
5 [God was helping] the believers in those towns to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus], and every day more people became believers.
Така църквите се утвърдяваха във вярата, и от ден на ден се умножаваха числено.
6 Paul and his companions wanted/planned to enter Asia [province] preach the message [about Jesus] there, but they were prevented by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit prevented them} [from going there. So] they traveled through Phrygia and Galatia [provinces].
И апостолите преминаха Фригийската и Галатийската земя, като им се забрани от Светия Дух да проповядват словото в Азия;
7 They arrived at the border of Mysia [province] and they wanted to go [north] Bithynia [province]. But [again] the Spirit of Jesus showed them that they should not [go there].
и като дойдоха срещу Мизия, опитаха се да отидат във Витиния, но Исусовия Дух не им допусна.
8 So they went through Mysia [province] and arrived at Troas, a [port city. I, Luke, joined them there].
И тъй, като изминаха Мизия слязоха в Троада.
9 That night [God gave] Paul a vision in which he saw a man [who was a native] of Macedonia [province]. He was standing [some distance away], and he was earnestly calling to Paul, “[Please] come over [here] to Macedonia and help us!”
И яви се на Павла нощя видение: един македонец стоеше и се молеше, казвайки: Дойди в Македония и помогни ни.
10 [The next morning] we [(exc)] immediately got ready to go to Macedonia, because we believed that God had called us to [go and] preach the good message to the people there.
И като видя видението, веднага потърсихме [случай] да отидем в Македония, като дойдохме до заключение, че Бог ни призовава да проповядваме благовестието на тях.
11 So we [(exc)] got on a ship in Troas and sailed across [the sea] Samothrace [Island. We spent the night there], and the next day [we sailed again across the sea and arrived] at Neapolis [port/town].
И тъй, като отплувахме от Троада, отправихме се право към Самотрак, на утрешния ден в Неапол,
12 Then we [left Neapolis and] went [by land] to Philippi. It was a very important city in Macedonia [province, where many] Roman citizens lived. We stayed in Philippi several days.
и оттам във Филипи, който е главният град на оная Македония, и Римска колония. В тоя град преседяхме няколко дни.
13 On the first (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [after we(exc) arrived], we went outside the city gate [down] to the river. We had heard [someone say] that [Jewish] people gathered to pray there. [When we arrived there, we saw] some women who had gathered [to pray]. So we sat down and began to tell them [the message about Jesus].
А в събота излязохме вън от портата край една река, дето предполагахме, че става молитва; и седнахме та говорихме на събраните там жени.
14 A woman whose name was Lydia was one of those who were listening [to Paul. She was a non-Jewish woman], from Thyatira [city, who bought and] sold [expensive] purple cloth. She had accepted what the Jews believe about God. The Lord [God] caused her to pay attention to the message that Paul preached, and she believed it. [The members of her household also heard the good message and believed in Jesus] [MTY].
И някоя си богобоязлива жена на име Лидия, от град Тиатир, продавачка на морави платове, слушаше; и Господ отвори сърцето й да внимава на това, което Павел говореше.
15 After [Paul and Silas] baptized Lydia and the others who lived in her house [MTY] {After Lydia and the others who lived in her house were baptized}, she invited us to [go and stay in] her home. She said, “You [(pl)] know that I [now] believe in the Lord [Jesus], so [please] come and stay in my house.” She persuaded us [to do that, so we(exc) stayed there].
И като се кръсти тя и домът и, помоли ни, казвайки: Ако ме признавате за вярна Господу, влезте в къщата ми и седете. И принуди ни.
16 Another day, while we [(exc)] were going to the place where people regularly gathered to pray, we met a young woman who was a slave. An evil spirit was enabling her to be a ventriloquist and to tell people what would happen [to them]. People paid a lot of money to [the men who were] her owners, in return for her telling them things that [she said] would happen [to them].
И един ден, като отивахме на молитвеното място, срещна ни една мома, която имаше предсказвателен дух и чрез прокобяването си докарваше голяма печалба на господарите си.
17 This young woman followed Paul and the rest of us. She continually shouted, “These men serve the God who is the greatest [of all gods]! They are telling you how ([God] can save you [so that he will not punish you/to be] saved)”
Тя вървеше подир Павла и нас та викаше, казвайки: Тия човеци са слуги на всевишния Бог, които ви проповядват път за спасение.
18 She continued to do that for many days. Finally Paul became irritated. So he turned [toward the young woman] and rebuked the evil spirit [that was in her. He said], “By the authority [MTY] of Jesus Christ, I command you [(sg)] to come out of this young woman!” Right away the evil spirit left her.
Това тя правеше много дни наред, А понеже твърде дотегна на Павла, той се обърна и рече на духа: Заповядвам ти в името на Исуса Христа да излезеш от нея. И излезе в същия час.
19 And then her owners realized that she could no longer earn money for them [because she could no longer predict what would happen to people, so they were angry]. They grabbed Paul and Silas and forcefully took them to the public square, to [the place where] the government authorities and [a lot of other people were gathered].
А господарите и като видяха, че излезе и надеждата им за печалба, хванаха Павла и Сила та ги завлякоха на пазаря пред началниците.
20 The owners [of the young woman] brought Paul and Silas to the city officials and told them, “These men are Jews, and they are greatly troubling [the people in] [MTY] our city.
И като ги изведоха при градските съдии, рекоха: Тия човеци са юдеи и смущават града ни,
21 They are teaching that we [(inc)] should follow customs that our laws do not allow us Romans to consider [to be correct] or to obey!”
като прповядват обичаи, които не е позволено на нас, като Римляни, да приемаме или да пазим.
22 Many of the crowd joined [those who were accusing] Paul and Silas, and started beating them. Then the [Roman] authorities commanded [soldiers] to tear the shirts off Paul and Silas and to beat them [with rods/sticks].
На това, народът купно се подигна против тях, и градските съдии им разкъсаха дрехите и заповядаха да ги бият с тояги.
23 [So the soldiers] beat Paul and Silas vigorously [with rods]. After that, they [took them and] shoved them into the prison. They told the jailer that he should lock them up securely.
И като ги биха много, хвърлиха ги в тъмница, и заръчаха на тъмничния началник да ги варди здраво;
24 [Because the officials] had [commanded] him [to do that], the jailer shoved Paul and Silas into the cell that was farthest inside. [There, he made them sit down on the floor/ground and stretch out their legs]. Then he fastened their ankles in [grooves] between two large wooden beams, [so that Paul and Silas could not move their legs].
който като получи такава заповед, хвърли ги в по-вътрешната тъмница, и стегна добре нозете им в клада.
25 About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying [aloud] and praising God by singing hymns. The [other] prisoners were listening attentively to them.
Но по среднощ, когато Павел и Сила се молеха с химни на Бога, а затворниците ги слушаха,
26 Suddenly there was a very strong earthquake. It shook the entire jail [SYN] and its foundation [SYN]. [The earthquake caused] all the doors [of the jail] to open suddenly, and [caused] all the chains that fastened the prisoners to fall off.
внезапно стана голям трус, така че основите на тъмницата се поклатиха и веднага всички врати се отвориха, и оковите на всичките се развързаха.
27 The jailer woke up and saw that the doors of the jail were open. He thought that the prisoners had escaped. So he pulled out his sword in order to kill himself, [because he knew that the officials would kill him if the prisoners escaped].
И началникът, като се събуди и видя тъмничните врати отворени, измъкна ножа си и щеше да се убие, мислейки, че затворниците са избягали.
28 Paul [saw the jailer and] shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We [(exc) prisoners] are all here!”
Но Павел извика със силен глас, думайки: Недей струва никакво зло на себе си, защото всички сме тука.
29 The jailer shouted [to someone] to bring torches/lanterns, [and after they brought them], he rushed into the jail and knelt down in front of Paul and Silas. [He was very afraid, so] much so that he was trembling/shaking.
Тогава началникът поиска светила, скочи вътре, и разтреперан падна пред Павла и Сила;
30 Then he brought Paul and Silas out [of the jail] and asked: “Sirs, what do I need to do to be saved [from being punished for my sins]?”
и изведе ги вън и рече: Господа, що трябва да сторя за да се спася?
31 [They answered], “Trust in [what] the Lord Jesus [has done for you], and you will be saved {[God] will save you}, and the others who live in [MTY] your house will [also] be saved [if they believe in Jesus].”
А те казаха: повярвай в Господа Исуса (Христа), и ще се спасиш, ти и домът ти.
32 Then the jailer took Paul and Silas into his house, washed their wounds, and gave them a meal. [He woke up all the people in his house, and] Paul and Silas told all of them the message about the Lord [Jesus. They all believed in him]. Immediately [after that, the jailer and all his family were baptized] {[Paul and Silas] baptized the jailer and all his family}. They were very happy, because now they all believed in God.
И говориха Господнето учение на него и на всички, които бяха в дома му.
И той ги взе в същия час през нощта та им изми раните; и без забава се кръсти, той той и всичките негови.
И като ги заведе в къщата си, сложи им трапеза; и, повярвал в Бога, зарадва се с целия си дом.
35 The next morning, the [Roman] officials commanded [some] police officers [to go to the jail to say to the jailer], “[Our bosses] say, ‘Let those [two] prisoners go [now]!’”
А когато се разсъмна, градските съдии пратиха палачите да рекат: Пусни ония човеци.
36 [After the officers went and told that to] the jailer, he [went and] told Paul, “The [Roman] authorities have sent a message [(sg)] saying that I should release you [(sg)] and Silas [from prison]. So you [two] can leave [the jail] now. Now you can go peacefully!”
И началникът съобщи думите на Павла, казвайки: Градските съдии са пратили да ви пуснем; сега, прочее, излезте и си идете с мир.
37 But Paul said to the police officers, “The authorities [commanded men to] beat us in front of a crowd before [those authorities] had learned if we [(exc)] had done anything wrong! Then they [ordered men to] shove us into jail! [But that was not legal, because] we [(exc)] are Roman citizens! And now they want [RHQ] to send us away secretly! We will not accept that! Those [Roman] officials must come themselves and [tell us that they are sorry], and take us out [of jail].”
Но Павел им рече: Биха ни публично без да сме били осъдени, нас, които сме Римляни, и ни хвърлиха в тъмница; и сега тайно ли ни изваждат? То не става; но те нека дойдат и ни изведат.
38 So the police officers [went and] told the city authorities [what Paul had said]. When those authorities heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid [that someone would report to more important officials what they had done, and as a result they would be punished] {[those officials would punish them]}.
И палачите съобщиха тия думи на градските съдии; а те като чуха, че били Римляни, уплашиха се;
39 So the city authorities came to Paul and Silas and told them that they were sorry for what they had done to them. The authorities brought them out of the jail, and repeatedly asked them to leave the city [soon].
и дойдоха та ги помолиха да бъдат снизходителни, и като ги изведоха поканиха ги да си отидат от града.
40 After Paul and Silas left the jail, they went to Lydia’s house. There they met with her and the [other] believers. They encouraged the believers [to continue trusting in the Lord Jesus], and then the two apostles left [Philippi].
А те, като излязоха от тъмницата, влязоха у Лидини, и, като видяха братята, увещаха ги, и си заминаха.
