< Acts 16 >
1 Ó sì wá sí Dabe àti Lysra: sí kíyèsi i, ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kan wà níbẹ̀, tí a ń pè ní Timotiu, ọmọ obìnrin kan tí í ṣe Júù, tí ó gbàgbọ́; ṣùgbọ́n Giriki ní baba rẹ̀.
He came also to Derbe and Lystra. And look, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 Ẹni tí a ròhìn rẹ̀ ní rere lọ́dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin tí ó wà ní Lysra àti Ikoniomu.
The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
3 Òun ni Paulu fẹ́ kí ó bá òun lọ; ó sì mú un, ó sì kọ ọ́ ní ilà, nítorí àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní agbègbè wọ̀nyí, nítorí gbogbo wọn mọ̀ pé, Giriki ni baba rẹ̀.
Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Bí wọn sì ti ń la àwọn ìlú lọ, wọ́n ń fi àwọn àṣẹ, tí a tí pinnu láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn aposteli àti àwọn alàgbà tí ó wà ní Jerusalẹmu, lé wọn lọ́wọ́ láti máa pa wọ́n mọ́.
As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ìjọ sì fẹsẹ̀múlẹ̀ ní ìgbàgbọ́, wọn sí ń pọ̀ sí i ní iye lójoojúmọ́.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Wọ́n sì la agbègbè Frigia já, àti Galatia, nítorí tí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ kọ̀ fún wọn láti sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà ni Asia.
When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7 Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ọ̀kánkán Misia, wọ́n gbìyànjú láti lọ sí Bitinia, ṣùgbọ́n Ẹ̀mí Jesu kò gbà fún wọn.
When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
8 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì kọjá lẹ́bàá Misia, wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Troasi.
Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Ìran kan si hàn sì Paulu ni òru, ọkùnrin kan ará Makedonia dúró, ó sì ń bẹ̀ ẹ́, wí pé, “Rékọjá wá sí Makedonia, kí o sí ràn wá lọ́wọ́!”
A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."
10 Nígbà tí ó sì tí rí ìran náà, lọ́gán ó múra láti lọ sí Makedonia, a ka á sí pé, Ọlọ́run tí pè wá láti wàásù ìyìnrere fún wọn.
When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to proclaim the Good News to them.
11 Nítorí náà nígbà tí àwa ṣíkọ̀ ní Troasi a ba ọ̀nà tààrà lọ sí Samotrakea, ni ọjọ́ kejì a sì dé Neapoli;
Then, setting sail from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 láti ibẹ̀ àwa sì lọ si Filipi, tí í ṣe ìlú Makedonia, olú ìlú ìhà ibẹ̀, ìlú lábẹ́ Romu, àwa sì jókòó ní ìlú yìí fún ọjọ́ mélòó kan.
and from there to Philippi, which is a principle city of that district of Macedonia, a colony. We were staying some days in this city.
13 Lọ́jọ́ ìsinmi, àwa sí jáde lọ sí ẹ̀yìn odi ìlú náà, lẹ́bàá odò kan, níbi tí a rò pé ibi àdúrà wà; àwa sí jókòó, a sì bá àwọn obìnrin tí o péjọ sọ̀rọ̀.
On the Sabbath day we went forth outside of the gate by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.
14 Àti obìnrin kan tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Lidia, elése àlùkò, ará ìlú Tiatira, ẹni tí ó sin Ọlọ́run, ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wa, ọkàn ẹni tí Olúwa ṣí láti fetísí ohun tí a tí ẹnu Paulu sọ.
A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
15 Nígbà tí a sí bamitiisi rẹ̀, àti àwọn ara ilé rẹ̀, ó bẹ̀ wá, wí pé, “Bí ẹ̀yin bá kà mí ni olóòtítọ́ sí Olúwa, ẹ wá si ilé mi, kí ẹ sí wọ̀ níbẹ̀!” O sí rọ̀ wá.
When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay." So she persuaded us.
16 Bí àwa tí n lọ sí ibi àdúrà náà, ọmọbìnrin kan tí o ní ẹ̀mí àfọ̀ṣẹ, pàdé wa, ẹni tí ó fi àfọ̀ṣẹ mú èrè púpọ̀ wá fún àwọn ọ̀gá rẹ̀.
It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of Python met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
17 Òun náà ni ó ń tọ Paulu àti àwa lẹ́hìn, ó sì ń kígbe, pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí ni ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run Ọ̀gá-ògo, tí ń kéde ọ̀nà ìgbàlà fún yin!”
She followed Paul and us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."
18 Ó sì ń ṣe èyí lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí inú Paulu bàjẹ́, tí ó sì yípadà, ó wí fún ẹ̀mí náà pé, “Mo pàṣẹ fún ọ ní orúkọ Jesu Kristi kí o jáde kúrò lára rẹ̀!” Ó sí jáde ni wákàtí kan náà.
She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out at once.
19 Nígbà tí àwọn ọ̀gá rẹ̀ sì rí i pé, ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé èrè wọn pin, wọ́n mú Paulu àti Sila, wọn sì wọ́ wọn lọ sí ọjà tọ àwọn aláṣẹ lọ.
But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
20 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì mú wọn tọ àwọn onídàájọ́ lọ, wọ́n wí pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí tí í ṣe Júù, wọ́n ń yọ ìlú wa lẹ́nu jọjọ,
When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
21 wọ́n sì ń kọ́ni ní àṣà tí kò yẹ fún wa, àwa ẹni tí í ṣe ara Romu, láti gbà àti láti tẹ̀lé.”
and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."
22 Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sí jùmọ̀ dìde sì Paulu àti Sila. Àwọn olórí sí fà wọ́n ní aṣọ ya, wọ́n sí pàṣẹ pé, ki a fi ọ̀gọ̀ lù wọ́n.
The crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì lù wọ́n púpọ̀, wọ́n sọ wọ́n sínú túbú, wọ́n kìlọ̀ fún onítúbú kí ó pa wọ́n mọ́ dáradára.
When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
24 Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ irú ìkìlọ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀, ó sọ̀ wọ́n sínú túbú tí inú lọ́hùn, ó sí kan àbà mọ wọ́n lẹ́sẹ̀.
who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25 Ṣùgbọ́n láàrín ọ̀gànjọ́ Paulu àti Sila ń gbàdúrà, wọ́n sì ń kọrin ìyìn si Ọlọ́run, àwọn ara túbú sì ń tẹ́tí sí wọn.
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 Lójijì ilẹ̀ mímì ńlá sì mi, tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ìpìlẹ̀ ilé túbú mì tìtì: lọ́gán, gbogbo ìlẹ̀kùn sì ṣí, ìdè gbogbo wọn sì tú sílẹ̀.
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 bonds were loosened.
27 Nígbà tí onítúbú si tají, tí o sì ri pé, àwọn ìlẹ̀kùn túbú tí ṣí sílẹ̀, ó fa idà rẹ̀ yọ, ó sì fẹ́ pa ara rẹ̀, ó ṣe bí àwọn ara túbú ti sálọ.
The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Ṣùgbọ́n Paulu gbé ohun rẹ̀ sókè, wí pé, “Má ṣe pa ara rẹ lára: nítorí gbogbo wa ń bẹ níhìn-ín yìí!”
But Paul shouted loudly, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
29 Nígbà tí ó sì béèrè iná, ó bẹ́ wọ inú ilé, ó ń wárìrì, ó wólẹ̀ níwájú Paulu àti Sila.
He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
30 Ó sì mú wọn jáde, ó ní, “Alàgbà, kín ni ki èmi ṣe ki n lè là?”
and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Gbá Jesu Kristi Olúwa gbọ́, a ó sì gbà ọ́ là, ìwọ àti àwọn ará ilé rẹ pẹ̀lú.”
They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
32 Wọ́n sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa fún un, àti fún gbogbo àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀.
They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
33 Ó sì mú wọn ní wákàtí náà lóru, ó wẹ ọgbẹ́ wọn; a sì bamitiisi rẹ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ lójúkan náà.
He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
34 Ó sì mú wọn wá sí ilé rẹ̀, ó sì gbé oúnjẹ kalẹ̀ níwájú wọn, ó sì yọ̀ gidigidi pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ará ilé rẹ̀, nítorí ó gba Ọlọ́run gbọ́.
He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
35 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ilẹ̀ mọ́, àwọn onídàájọ́ rán àwọn ọlọ́pàá pé, “Tú àwọn ènìyàn náà sílẹ̀.”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those men go."
36 Onítúbú sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà fún Paulu, wí pé, “Àwọn onídàájọ́ ránṣẹ́ pé kí á da ìwọ àti Sila sílẹ̀. Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí ẹ jáde kí ẹ sì máa lọ ní àlàáfíà.”
The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace."
37 Ṣùgbọ́n Paulu wí fún wọn pé, “Wọ́n lù wá ni gbangba, wọ́n sì sọ wá sínú túbú ni àìjẹ̀bi, àwa ẹni tí ì ṣe ara Romu. Ṣe nísinsin yìí wọ́n fẹ́ tì wá jáde níkọ̀kọ̀? Rara! Ṣùgbọ́n kí àwọn tìkára wọn wá mú wa jáde!”
But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison. Do they now release us secretly? No indeed. Let them come themselves and bring us out."
38 Àwọn ọlọ́pàá sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí fún àwọn onídàájọ́: ẹ̀rù sì bà wọ́n, nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ pé ará Romu ni Paulu àti Sila.
The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
39 Wọ́n sì wá, wọ́n ṣìpẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ wọ́n, wọn sì mú wọn jáde, wọ́n sì bẹ̀ wọ́n pé, ki wọn jáde kúrò ni ìlú náà.
and they came and apologized to them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
40 Paulu àti Sila sì jáde nínú túbú, wọ́n sì wọ ilé Lidia lọ, nígbà tí wọn sì tí rí àwọn arákùnrin, wọ́n tù wọ́n nínú, wọn sì jáde kúrò.
They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
