Apostolok 16
1 Juta pedig Derbébe és Listrába: És ímé vala ott egy Timótheus nevű tanítvány, egy hívő zsidó asszonynak, de görög atyának fia;
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.
2 Kiről jó bizonyságot tesznek vala a Listrában és Ikóniumban levő atyafiak.
The believers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy,
3 Ezt Pál magával akará vinni; és vévén, körülmetélé őt a zsidókért, kik azokon a helyeken valának: mert ismerték mindnyájan az ő atyját, hogy görög volt.
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]}.
4 És a mint általmentek a városokon, meghagyák nékik, hogy tartsák meg a rendeléseket, melyeket végeztek a Jeruzsálemben levő apostolok és vének.
[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.
5 A gyülekezetek azért erősödének a hitben, és gyarapodának számban naponként.
[God was helping] the believers in those towns to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus], and every day more people became believers.
6 Eljárván pedig Frigiát és Galácia tartományát, mivelhogy eltiltatának a Szent Lélektől, hogy az ígét Ázsiában hirdessék,
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].
7 Misia felé menvén, igyekeznek vala Bithiniába jutni; de nem ereszté őket a Lélek.
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].
8 Áthaladván azért Misián, lemenének Tróásba.
So they went through Mysia [province] and arrived at Troas, a [port city. I, Luke, joined them there].
9 És azon az éjszakán látás jelenék meg Pálnak: egy macedón férfiú állt előtte, kérve őt és ezt mondva: Jer által Macedóniába, és légy segítségül nékünk!
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!”
10 Mihelyt pedig a látást látta, azonnal igyekezénk elmenni Macedóniába, megértvén, hogy oda hívott minket az Úr, hogy azoknak prédikáljuk az evangyéliomot.
[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.
11 Elhajózván azért Tróásból, egyenesen Sámothrákéba mentünk, és másnap Neápolisba;
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].
12 Onnét pedig Filippibe, mely Macedónia azon részének első gyarmatvárosa. És ebben a városban töltöttünk néhány napot.
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.
13 És szombatnapon kimenénk a városon kívül egy folyóvíz mellé, hol az imádkozás szokott lenni; és leülvén, beszélgeténk az egybegyűlt asszonyokkal.
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].
14 És egy Lidia nevű, Thiatira városbeli bíborárús asszony, ki féli vala az Istent, hallgata reánk. Ennek az Úr megnyitá szívét, hogy figyelmezzen azokra, a miket Pál mond vala.
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].
15 Mikor pedig megkeresztelkedék mind házanépével egybe, kére minket, mondván: Ha az Úr hívének ítéltetek engem, jertek az én házamhoz, és maradjatok ott. És unszola minket.
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].
16 Lőn pedig, hogy mikor mentünk a könyörgésre, egy szolgálóleányka jöve előnkbe, kiben jövendőmondásnak lelke vala, ki az ő urainak nagy hasznot hajta jövendőmondásával.
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].
17 Ez követvén Pált és minket, kiált vala, mondván: Ezek az emberek a magasságos Istennek szolgái, kik néktek az idvességnek útját hirdetik.
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)”
18 Ezt pedig több napon át mívelte. Pál azonban megbosszankodván, és hátrafordulván, mondá a léleknek: Parancsolom néked a Jézus Krisztus nevében, hogy menj ki belőle. És kiméne abban az órában.
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.
19 Látván pedig annak az urai, hogy keresetüknek a reménysége elveszett, megfogva Pált és Silást, vonák a piaczra a hatóságok elé.
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].
20 És odavezetvén őket a bírákhoz, mondának: Ezek az emberek zsidó létükre megháborítják a mi városunkat,
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.
21 És olyan szertartásokat hirdetnek, melyeket nem szabad nékünk bevennünk, sem cselekednünk, mivelhogy rómaiak vagyunk.
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!”
22 És velök egyben feltámada a sokaság ő ellenök. A bírák pedig letépetvén ruháikat, megvesszőzteték őket.
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].
23 És miután sok ütést mértek rájok, tömlöczbe veték őket, megparancsolva a tömlöcztartónak, hogy gondosan őrizze őket.
[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.
24 Ki ilyen parancsolatot vévén, veté őket a belső tömlöczbe, és lábaikat kalodába szorítá.
[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].
25 Éjféltájban pedig Pál és Silás imádkozván, énekkel dicsőíték az Istent. A foglyok pedig hallgatják vala őket.
About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying [aloud] and praising God by singing hymns. The [other] prisoners were listening attentively to them.
26 És hirtelen nagy földindulás lőn, úgyannyira, hogy megrendülének a tömlöcz fundamentomai; és azonnal megnyílának az ajtók mind, és mindnyájoknak a bilincsei feloldódnak.
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.
27 Fölserkenvén pedig a tömlöcztartó, és látván, hogy nyitva vannak a tömlöcznek ajtai, kivonva fegyverét, meg akará magát ölni, azt gondolván, hogy elszöktek a foglyok.
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].
28 Pál azonban nagy fenszóval kiáltá, mondván: Semmi kárt ne tégy magadban; mert mindnyájan itt vagyunk!
Paul [saw the jailer and] shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We [(exc) prisoners] are all here!”
29 Az pedig világot kérve beugrott, és remegve borult Pál és Silás elé,
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.
30 És kihozván őket, monda: Uraim, mit kell nékem cselekednem, hogy idvezüljek?
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]?”
31 Azok pedig mondának: Higyj az Úr Jézus Krisztusban, és idvezülsz mind te, mind a te házadnépe!
[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].”
32 És hirdeték néki az Úrnak ígéjét, és mindazoknak, kik az ő házánál valának.
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.
33 És az magához vévén őket az éjszakának azon órájában, megmosá az ütésektől; és megkeresztelkedék azonnal ő és az övéi mindnyájan.
34 És bevivén őket házába, asztalt teríte nékik, és egész háznépével egyben örvendeze, hogy hitt az Istennek.
35 Mikor pedig megvirradt, a bírák elküldék a poroszlókat, mondván: Bocsásd el azokat az embereket.
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]!’”
36 A tömlöcztartó pedig tudtára adá e szavakat Pálnak: A bírák ide küldöttek, hogy bocsássalak el titeket: most azért kimenvén, menjetek el békességgel!
[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!”
37 Pál pedig monda nékik: Megvesszőztek minket nyilvánosan, ítélet nélkül, holott római emberek vagyunk, és tömlöczbe vetettek: és most alattomban akarnak bennünket kiküldeni? Nem úgy; hanem jőjjenek ők maguk és vezessenek ki minket.
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].”
38 A poroszlók pedig megmondák a bíráknak e beszédeket; és azok megfélemlének, mikor meghallották, hogy rómaiak,
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]}.
39 És odamenvén, megkérlelék őket: és kivezetvén, kérék, hogy menjenek ki a városból.
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].
40 Kijövén pedig a tömlöczből, bemenének Lidiához; és mikor látták az atyafiakat, vígasztalák őket, és eltávozának.
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].
