Mga Gawa 16
1 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.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, whose mother was one of the Jews of the faith, but his father was a Greek;
2 Maganda ang sinasabi tungkol sa kaniya ng mga kapatiran na taga Listra at Iconio.
Of whom the brothers at Lystra and Iconium had a high opinion.
3 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.
Paul had a desire for him to go with him, and he gave him circumcision because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all had knowledge that his father was a Greek.
4 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.
And on their way through the towns, they gave them the rules which had been made by the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem, so that they might keep them.
5 Kaya napalakas sa pananampalataya ang mga iglesia at dumami ang kanilang bilang araw-araw.
So the churches were made strong in the faith and were increased in number every day.
6 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.
And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;
7 Nang malapit na sila sa Misia, ninais nila na tumungo sa Bitinia, ngunit hindi sila pinahintulutan ng Espiritu ni Jesus.
And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;
8 Kaya ng makalampas sila sa Misia, tumungo sila sa lungsod ng Troas.
And going past Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 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.”
And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.
10 Nang makita ni Pablo ang pangitain, nagmamadali kaming pumunta sa Macedonia, pinatutunayan na tinawag kami ng Diyos upang ipangaral ang ebanghelyo sa kanila.
And when he had seen the vision, straight away we made the decision to go into Macedonia, for it seemed certain to us that God had sent us to give the good news to them.
11 Pagkalayag namin galing ng Troas, dumiretso kami sa Samotracia at nang sumunod na araw kami ay dumating sa Neapolis;
So, from Troas we went straight by ship to Samothrace and the day after to Neapolis;
12 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.
And from there to Philippi, which is the most important town of Macedonia and a Roman colony: and we were there for some days.
13 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.
And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.
14 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.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.
15 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.
And when she and her family had had baptism, she made a request to us, saying, If it seems to you that I am true to the Lord, come into my house and be my guests. And she made us come.
16 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.
And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.
17 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.”
She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.
18 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.
And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 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.
But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers;
20 Nang dinala sila sa mga hukom, sinabi nilang, “Judio ang mga taong ito at sila ay gumagawa ng maraming kaguluhan sa ating lungsod.
And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;
21 Nagtuturo sila ng mga bagay na hindi naaayon sa ating batas upang tanggapin o gawin bilang mga Romano.”
Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans.
22 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.
And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.
23 Nang mapalo na sila ng maraming beses, ipinatapon sila sa bilangguan at inutusan ang bantay ng bilangguan na sila ay bantayang maigi.
And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:
24 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.
And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.
25 Nang maghahating gabi na sina Pablo at Silas ay nananalangin at umaawit ng mga himno sa Diyos, at nakikinig ang ibang bilanggo sa kanila.
But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;
26 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.
And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.
27 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.
And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.
28 Ngunit sumigaw si Pablo ng may malakas na boses na nagsasabing, “Huwag mong saktan ang iyong sarili, narito kaming lahat.”
But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.
29 Humingi ng ilaw ang bantay ng bilangguan at nagmamadaling pumasok na nanginginig sa takot at nagpatirapa kina Pablo at Silas,
And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,
30 at inilabas sila at nagsabing, “Mga ginoo, ano ang dapat kong gawin upang maligtas?”
And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?
31 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Manampalataya ka sa Panginoong Jesus at ikaw ay maliligtas, ikaw at ang buo mong sambahayan.”
And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.
32 Ipinahayag nila ang salita ng Panginoon sa kaniya, kasama ang lahat sa kaniyang tahanan.
And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33 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.
And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.
34 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.
And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.
35 Nang umaga na, nagpaabot ang mga hukom ng pahayag sa mga bantay, na nagsasabing, “Hayaan na ninyong makalaya ang mga lalaking iyon.”
But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.
36 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.”
And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.
37 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.”
But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.
38 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.
And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;
39 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.
Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.
40 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.
And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.
