Acts 16
1 Then he arrived at Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a faithful Jewish woman, his father a Gentile.
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.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium rendered good testimony to him.
Maganda ang sinasabi tungkol sa kaniya ng mga kapatiran na taga Listra at Iconio.
3 Paul wanted this man to travel with him, and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
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.
4 And as they were traveling through the cities, they delivered to them the dogmas to be kept, which were decreed by the Apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
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.
5 And certainly, the Churches were being strengthened in faith and were increasing in number every day.
Kaya napalakas sa pananampalataya ang mga iglesia at dumami ang kanilang bilang araw-araw.
6 Then, while crossing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were prevented by the Holy Spirit from speaking the Word in Asia.
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.
7 But when they had arrived in Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
Nang malapit na sila sa Misia, ninais nila na tumungo sa Bitinia, ngunit hindi sila pinahintulutan ng Espiritu ni Jesus.
8 Then, when they had crossed through Mysia, they descended to Troas.
Kaya ng makalampas sila sa Misia, tumungo sila sa lungsod ng Troas.
9 And a vision in the night was revealed to Paul of a certain man of Macedonia, standing and pleading with him, and saying: “Cross into Macedonia and help us!”
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.”
10 Then, after he saw the vision, immediately we sought to set out for Macedonia, having been assured that God had called us to evangelize to them.
Nang makita ni Pablo ang pangitain, nagmamadali kaming pumunta sa Macedonia, pinatutunayan na tinawag kami ng Diyos upang ipangaral ang ebanghelyo sa kanila.
11 And sailing from Troas, taking a direct path, we arrived at Samothrace, and on the following day, at Neapolis,
Pagkalayag namin galing ng Troas, dumiretso kami sa Samotracia at nang sumunod na araw kami ay dumating sa Neapolis;
12 and from there to Philippi, which is the preeminent city in the area of Macedonia, a colony. Now we were in this city some days, conferring together.
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.
13 Then, on the Sabbath day, we were walking outside the gate, beside a river, where there seemed to be a prayer gathering. And sitting down, we were speaking with the women who had assembled.
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.
14 And a certain woman, named Lydia, a seller of purple in the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, listened. And the Lord opened her heart to be receptive to what Paul was saying.
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.
15 And when she had been baptized, with her household, she pleaded with us, saying: “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, enter into my house and lodge there.” And she convinced us.
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.
16 Then it happened that, as we were going out to prayer, a certain girl, having a spirit of divination, met with us. She was a source of great profit to her masters, through her divining.
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.
17 This girl, following Paul and us, was crying out, saying: “These men are servants of the Most High God! They are announcing to you the way of salvation!”
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.”
18 Now she behaved in this way for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her.” And it went away in that same hour.
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.
19 But her masters, seeing that the hope of their profit went away, apprehended Paul and Silas, and they brought them to the rulers at the courthouse.
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.
20 And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: “These men are disturbing our city, since they are Jews.
Nang dinala sila sa mga hukom, sinabi nilang, “Judio ang mga taong ito at sila ay gumagawa ng maraming kaguluhan sa ating lungsod.
21 And they are announcing a way which is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, since we are Romans.”
Nagtuturo sila ng mga bagay na hindi naaayon sa ating batas upang tanggapin o gawin bilang mga Romano.”
22 And the people rushed together against them. And the magistrates, tearing their tunics, ordered them to be beaten with staffs.
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.
23 And when they had inflicted many scourges on them, they cast them into prison, instructing the guard to watch them diligently.
Nang mapalo na sila ng maraming beses, ipinatapon sila sa bilangguan at inutusan ang bantay ng bilangguan na sila ay bantayang maigi.
24 And since he had received this kind of order, he cast them into the interior prison cell, and he restricted their feet with stocks.
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.
25 Then, in the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were praying and praising God. And those who were also in custody were listening to them.
Nang maghahating gabi na sina Pablo at Silas ay nananalangin at umaawit ng mga himno sa Diyos, at nakikinig ang ibang bilanggo sa kanila.
26 Yet truly, there was a sudden earthquake, so great that the foundations of the prison were moved. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bindings of everyone were released.
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.
27 Then the prison guard, having been jarred awake, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword and intended to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
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.
28 But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying: “Do no harm to yourself, for we are all here!”
Ngunit sumigaw si Pablo ng may malakas na boses na nagsasabing, “Huwag mong saktan ang iyong sarili, narito kaming lahat.”
29 Then calling for a light, he entered. And trembling, he fell before the feet of Paul and Silas.
Humingi ng ilaw ang bantay ng bilangguan at nagmamadaling pumasok na nanginginig sa takot at nagpatirapa kina Pablo at Silas,
30 And bringing them outside, he said, “Sirs, what must I do, so that I may be saved?”
at inilabas sila at nagsabing, “Mga ginoo, ano ang dapat kong gawin upang maligtas?”
31 So they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and then you will be saved, with your household.”
Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Manampalataya ka sa Panginoong Jesus at ikaw ay maliligtas, ikaw at ang buo mong sambahayan.”
32 And they spoke the Word of the Lord to him, along with all those who were in his house.
Ipinahayag nila ang salita ng Panginoon sa kaniya, kasama ang lahat sa kaniyang tahanan.
33 And he, taking them in the same hour of the night, washed their scourges. And he was baptized, and next his entire household.
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.
34 And when he had brought them into his own house, he set a table for them. And he was joyous, with his entire household, believing in God.
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.
35 And when daylight had arrived, the magistrates sent the attendants, saying, “Release those men.”
Nang umaga na, nagpaabot ang mga hukom ng pahayag sa mga bantay, na nagsasabing, “Hayaan na ninyong makalaya ang mga lalaking iyon.”
36 But the prison guard reported these words to Paul: “The magistrates have sent to have you released. Now therefore, depart. Go in peace.”
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.”
37 But Paul said to them: “They have beaten us publicly, though we were not condemned. They have cast men who are Romans into prison. And now they would drive us away secretly? Not so. Instead, let them come forward,
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.”
38 and let us drive them away.” Then the attendants reported these words to the magistrates. And upon hearing that they were Romans, they were afraid.
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.
39 And arriving, they pleaded with them, and leading them out, they begged them to depart from the city.
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.
40 And they went away from the prison and entered into the house of Lydia. And having seen the brothers, they consoled them, and then they set out.
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.
