Mga Gawa 16
1 At siya'y naparoon din naman sa Derbe at sa Listra: at narito, naroon ang isang alagad, na nagngangalang Timoteo, na anak ng isang Judiang sumasampalataya; datapuwa't Griego ang kaniyang ama.
Paul went on to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a disciple named Timothy was there. He was the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.
2 Siya'y may mabuting patotoo ng mga kapatid na nangasa Listra at Iconio.
He was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Iniibig ni Pablo na sumama siya sa kaniya; at kaniyang kinuha siya at tinuli dahil sa mga Judio na nangasa mga dakong yaon: sapagka't nalalaman ng lahat na ang kaniyang ama'y Griego.
Paul wanted this man to go on with him, so he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 At sa kanilang pagtahak sa mga bayan, ay ibinigay sa kanila ang mga utos na inilagda ng mga apostol at ng mga matanda sa Jerusalem, upang kanilang tuparin.
As they went through the cities, they delivered the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem for the Gentile believers to obey.
5 Kaya nga, ang mga iglesia'y pinalakas sa pananampalataya at naragdagan ang bilang araw-araw.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in number every day.
6 At nang kanilang matahak ang lupain ng Frigia at Galacia, ay pinagbawalan sila ng Espiritu Santo na saysayin ang salita sa Asia;
Then Paul and his companions went through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit from speaking the word in Asia.
7 At nang sila'y magsidating sa tapat ng Misia, ay pinagsikapan nilang magsipasok sa Bitinia; at hindi sila tinulutan ng Espiritu ni Jesus;
When they reached Mysia, they tried to go on toward Bithynia, but the Spirit did not allow them.
8 At pagkaraan nila sa Misia, ay nagsilusong sila sa Troas.
So passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.
9 At napakita ang isang pangitain sa gabi kay Pablo: May isang lalaking taga Macedonia na nakatayo, na namamanhik sa kaniya, at sinasabi, Tumawid ka sa Macedonia, at tulungan mo kami.
During the night Paul had a vision. A Macedonian man was standing there, urging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us!”
10 At pagkakita niya sa pangitain, pagdaka'y pinagsikapan naming magsiparoon sa Macedonia, na pinatutunayang kami'y tinawag ng Dios upang sa kanila'y ipangaral ang evangelio.
After Paul saw the vision, we immediately endeavored to go on to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Pagtulak nga sa Troas, ay pinunta namin ang Samotracia, at nang kinabukasa'y ang Neapolis;
So we set sail from Troas and followed a straight course to Samothrace, and on the next day we went to Neapolis.
12 At mula doo'y ang Filipos, na isang bayan ng Macedonia, na siyang una sa purok, lupang nasasakupan ng Roma: at nangatira kaming ilang araw sa bayang yaon.
From there we went on to Philippi, which is a Roman colony and a leading city of that district of Macedonia. We stayed in that city for several days.
13 At nang araw ng sabbath ay nagsilabas kami sa labas ng pintuan sa tabi ng ilog, na doo'y sinapantaha naming may mapapanalanginan; at kami'y nangaupo, at nakipagsalitaan sa mga babaing nangagkatipon.
On the Sabbath day we went outside the city to a riverside, where it was customary for there to be prayer. We sat down and began speaking to the women who had gathered together.
14 At isang babaing nagngangalang Lidia, na mangangalakal ng kayong kulay-ube, na taga bayan ng Tiatira, isang masipag sa kabanalan, ay nakinig sa amin: na binuksan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang puso upang unawain ang mga bagay na sinalita ni Pablo.
One of those listening to us was a woman named Lydia. She was a worshiper of God from the city of Thyatira and a seller of purple cloth. The Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying.
15 At nang siya'y mabautismuhan na, at ang kaniyang mga kasangbahay, ay namanhik siya sa amin, na sinasabi, Kung inyong inaakalang ako'y tapat sa Panginoon, ay magsipasok kayo sa aking bahay, at kayo'y magsitira doon. At kami'y pinilit niya.
After she was baptized, along with her household, she urged us, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come stay at my house.” And she persuaded us to do so.
16 At nangyari, na nang kami'y nagsisiparoon sa mapapanalanginan, ay sinalubong kami ng isang dalagang may karumaldumal na espiritu ng panghuhula, at nagdadala ng maraming pakinabang sa kaniyang mga panginoon sa pamamagitan ng panghuhula.
One day, as we were on our way to prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination. She had brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.
17 Siya'y sumusunod kay Pablo at sa amin at nagsisigaw, na sinasabi, Mga alipin ng Kataastaasang Dios ang mga taong ito, na nagsisipangaral sa inyo ng daan ng kaligtasan.
She followed along behind Paul and us and kept crying out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation.”
18 At maraming mga araw na ginawa niya ito. Datapuwa't palibhasa'y si Pablo ay totoong nababagabag, ay lumingon at sinabi sa espiritu, Iniuutos ko sa iyo sa pangalan ni Jesucristo na lumabas ka sa kaniya. At ito ay lumabas nang oras ding yaon.
She kept on doing this for many days, and Paul became so annoyed that he turned and said to the spirit, “I command yoʋ in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.
19 Datapuwa't nang makita ng kaniyang mga panginoon na wala na ang inaasahan nilang kapakinabangan, ay hinuli nila si Pablo at si Silas, at kinaladkad sila sa pamilihan, sa harapan ng mga may kapangyarihan,
When her masters saw that their hope for profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, dragged them to the marketplace, and set them before the authorities.
20 At nang maiharap na sila sa mga hukom, ay sinabi nila, Ang mga lalaking ito, palibhasa'y mga Judio, ay nagsisipanggulong totoo sa ating bayan,
After bringing them to the magistrates, they said, “These men are seriously disturbing our city. They are Jews,
21 At nangaghahayag ng mga kaugaliang hindi matuwid nating tanggapin, o gawin, palibhasa tayo'y Romano.
and they are proclaiming customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice.”
22 At samasamang nagsitindig ang karamihan laban sa kanila: at hinapak ng mga hukom ang kanilang mga damit, at ipinapalo sila ng mga panghampas.
The crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their garments off them and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
23 At nang sila'y mapalo na nila ng marami, ay ipinasok sila sa bilangguan, na ipinagtatagubilin sa tagapamahala na sila'y bantayang maigi:
After inflicting many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them under close guard.
24 Na, nang tanggapin nito ang gayong tagubilin, ay ipinasok sila sa kalooblooban ng bilangguan, at piniit ang kanilang mga paa sa mga pangawan.
When he received this order, he put them in the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Datapuwa't nang maghahatinggabi na si Pablo at si Silas ay nagsipanalangin at nagsiawit ng mga himno sa Dios, at sila'y pinakikinggan ng mga bilanggo;
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 At kaginsaginsa'y nagkaroon ng isang malakas na lindol, ano pa't nangagsiuga ang mga patibayan ng bahay-bilangguan: at pagdaka'y nangabuksan ang lahat ng mga pinto; at nangakalas ang mga gapos ng bawa't isa.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Immediately all the doors opened, and all the chains came loose.
27 At ang tagapamahala, palibhasa'y nagising sa pagkakatulog at nang makitang bukas ang mga pinto ng bilangguan, ay binunot ang kaniyang tabak at magpapakamatay sana, sa pagaakalang nangakatakas na ang mga bilanggo.
Then the jailer was awakened, and when he saw that the doors of the prison were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, assuming that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Datapuwa't sumigaw si Pablo ng malakas na tinig, na sinasabi, Huwag mong saktan ang iyong sarili: sapagka't nangaririto kaming lahat.
But Paul cried out with a loud voice, “Do yoʋrself no harm, for we are all here.”
29 At siya'y humingi ng mga ilaw at tumakbo sa loob, at, nanginginig sa takot, ay nagpatirapa sa harapan ni Pablo at ni Silas,
Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 At sila'y inilabas at sinabi, Mga ginoo, ano ang kinakailangan kong gawin upang maligtas?
Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 At kanilang sinabi, Manampalataya ka sa Panginoong Jesus, at maliligtas ka, ikaw at ang iyong sangbahayan.
They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and yoʋ will be saved, yoʋ and yoʋr household.”
32 At sa kaniya'y sinalita nila ang salita ng Panginoon, pati sa lahat ng nangasa kaniyang bahay.
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his household.
33 At sila'y kaniyang kinuha nang oras ding yaon ng gabi, at hinugasan ang kanilang mga latay; at pagdaka'y binautismuhan, siya at ang buong sangbahayan niya.
He then took them in that hour of the night and washed their wounds. Then he was baptized at once, along with his entire household.
34 At sila'y kaniyang ipinanhik sa kaniyang bahay, at hinainan sila ng pagkain, at nagalak na totoo, pati ng buong sangbahayan niya, na nagsisampalataya sa Dios.
After bringing Paul and Silas into his house, he set a meal before them. And he rejoiced, along with his entire household, because he had come to believe in God.
35 Datapuwa't nang umaga na, ang mga hukom ay nangagsugo ng mga sarhento, na nagsasabi, Pawalan mo ang mga taong iyan.
When daybreak came, the magistrates sent their officers, saying, “Release those men.”
36 At iniulat ng tagapamahala kay Pablo ang mga salitang ito, na sinasabi, Ipinagutos ng mga hukom na kayo'y pawalan: ngayon nga'y magsilabas kayo, at magsiyaon kayong payapa.
So the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent orders for you to be released. Therefore come out now and go in peace.”
37 Datapuwa't sinabi sa kanila ni Pablo, Pinalo nila kami sa hayag, na hindi nangahatulan, bagama't mga lalaking Romano, at kami'y ibinilanggo; at ngayo'y lihim na kami'y pinawawalan nila? tunay na hindi nga; kundi sila rin ang magsiparito at kami'y pawalan.
But Paul said to them, “They beat us in public without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens, and they threw us into prison. And now they are sending us away secretly? Certainly not! Rather, let them come and escort us out themselves.”
38 At iniulat ng mga sarhento ang mga salitang ito sa mga hukom: at sila'y nangatakot nang kanilang marinig na sila'y mga Romano;
So the officers reported these words to the magistrates, and the magistrates were afraid when they heard that the men were Roman citizens.
39 At sila'y nagsiparoon at pinamanhikan sila; at nang kanilang mailabas na sila, ay hiniling nila sa kanila na magsilabas sa bayan.
So they came and spoke to them in a conciliatory manner. As they escorted them out, they begged them to leave the city.
40 At sila'y nagsilabas sa bilangguan, at nagsipasok sa bahay ni Lidia: at nang makita nila ang mga kapatid, ay kanilang inaliw sila, at nagsialis.
So Paul and Silas came out of the prison and went to Lydia's house. And after seeing the brothers and encouraging them, they departed.
