Acts 16
1 Paul also came to Derbe and to Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a Jewish woman who believed; 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 He was well spoken of by the brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium.
Huic testimonium bonum reddebant qui in Lystris erant, et Iconio fratres.
3 Paul wanted him to travel with him; so he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, 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 to the churches the instructions for them to obey, the instructions that had been written by the apostles and elders in 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 Paul and his companions went through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia, since they had been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the word in the province of Asia.
Transeuntes autem Phrygiam, et Galatiae regionem, vetati sunt a Spiritu sancto loqui verbum Dei in Asia.
7 When they came near Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus prevented them.
Cum venissent autem in Mysiam, tentabant ire in Bithyniam: et non permisit eos Spiritus Iesu.
8 So passing by Mysia, they came down to the city of Troas.
Cum autem pertransissent Mysiam, descenderunt Troadem:
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night: A man of Macedonia was standing there, calling 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 Paul had seen the vision, immediately we set out to go to Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to proclaim the gospel to them.
Ut autem visum vidit, statim quaesivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quod vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day we came to Neapolis.
Navigantes autem a Troade, recto cursu venimus Samothraciam, et sequenti die Neapolim:
12 From there we went to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the most important city in the district and a Roman colony, and we stayed in this city for several days.
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 outside the gate by the river, where we thought there would be a place of prayer. 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 from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, listened to us. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said 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 house were baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay in house.” And 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 came about that, as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain young woman who had a spirit of divination encountered us. She brought her masters much gain by fortunetelling.
Factum est autem euntibus nobis ad orationem, puellam quamdam habentem spiritum pythonem obviare nobis, quae quaestum magnum praestabat dominis suis divinando.
17 This woman followed after Paul and us and shouted, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God. They 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 did this for many days. But Paul, being greatly annoyed by her, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out right away.
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 When her masters saw that their opportunity to make money was now gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities.
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 are stirring up our city. They are Jews.
et offerentes eos magistratibus, dixerunt: Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sint Iudaei:
21 They proclaim customs that are not lawful for Romans to accept or practice.”
et annunciant morem, quem non licet nobis suscipere, neque facere, cum simus Romani.
22 Then the crowd rose up together against Paul and Silas; the magistrates tore their garments off 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 blows upon them, they threw them into prison and commanded the jailer to keep them securely.
Et cum multas plagas eis imposuissent, miserunt eos in carcerem, praecipientes custodi ut diligenter custodiret eos.
24 After he got this command, the jailer threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Qui cum tale praeceptum accepisset, misit eos in interiorem carcerem, et pedes eorum strinxit ligno.
25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other 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 chains were unfastened.
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 was awakened from sleep and saw the open prison doors; he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he thought 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 with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, because we are all here.”
Clamavit autem Paulus voce magna, dicens: Nihil tibi mali feceris: universi enim hic sumus.
29 The jailer called for lights and rushed in and, trembling for fear, fell down 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 house.”
At illi dixerunt: Crede in Dominum Iesum: et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, together with everyone in his house.
Et locuti sunt ei verbum Domini cum omnibus, qui erant in domo eius.
33 Then the jailer took them at the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he and those in his entire house were baptized immediately.
Et tollens eos in illa hora noctis, lavit plagas eorum: et baptizatus est ipse, et omnis domus eius continuo.
34 Then as he brought Paul and Silas up into his house and he set food before them, he rejoiced greatly with those of his house, that he had believed in God.
Cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam, apposuit eis mensam, et laetatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo.
35 Now when it was day, the magistrates sent word to the guards, saying, “Let those men go.”
Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores, dicentes: Dimitte homines illos.
36 The jailer reported the words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent word to me 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 publicly beaten us without a trial, even through we are Romans citizens—and they threw us into prison. Do they now want to send us away secretly? No! Let them come themselves and lead 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 guards reported these words to the magistrates, and when they heard that Paul and Silas were Romans, they were afraid.
et ipsi nos eiiciant. Nunciaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba haec. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent:
39 The magistrates came and apologized to them and brought them out, asking them them to go away from the city.
et venientes deprecati sunt eos, et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur de Urbe.
40 So Paul and Silas went out of the prison and came to the house of Lydia. When Paul and Silas saw the brothers, they encouraged them and then departed from the city.
Exeuntes autem de carcere, introierunt ad Lydiam: et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos, et profecti sunt.
