< Acts 16 >

1 And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek, —
ᏓᏈᏃ ᎠᎴ ᎵᏍᏗ ᏭᎷᏨᎩ, ᎬᏂᏳᏉᏃ ᎾᎿᎭᎡᎲᎩ ᎩᎶ ᎢᎨᏍᏗ ᎪᎯᏳᎲᏍᎩ, ᏗᎹᏗ ᏧᏙᎢᏛ, ᎠᏧᏏ, ᎠᎨᏴ ᎪᎯᏳᎲᏍᎩ ᎤᏥ ᎨᏒᎩ, ᎤᏙᏓᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᎪᎢ ᎨᏒᎩ.
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎬᏩᏃᎮᏍᎩ ᎨᏒᎩ ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏟ ᎵᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎢᎪᏂᏯ ᎠᏁᎯ.
3 The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏉᎳ ᎤᏚᎸᎲᎩ ᎤᏘᏅᏍᏗᏱ; ᎤᎱᏍᏕᏎᎸᎩᏃ ᏅᏓᏳᎵᏍᏙᏔᏅᎩ ᎠᏂᏧᏏ ᎾᎿᎭᏓᏁᏩᏗᏒᎢ, ᏂᎦᏛᏰᏃ ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎲᎩ ᎤᏙᏓ ᎠᎪᎢ ᎨᏒᎢ.
4 And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem.

5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
ᏧᎾᏁᎶᏗᏃ ᏚᎾᏓᏡᏩᏗᏒ ᏚᎾᎵᏂᎪᏒᎩ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᏚᎩᏨᏂᏒ ᎠᏂᎪᏙᏍᎬᎩ.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
ᎤᏂᎶᏐᏅᏃ ᏈᏥᏱ ᎠᎴ ᎨᎴᏏᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᎦᎸᏉᏗᏳ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎤᏂᏅᏍᏓᏕᎸ ᎤᎾᎵᏥᏙᏗᏱ ᎧᏃᎮᏛ ᎡᏏᏱ,
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
ᎻᏏᏱ ᏭᏂᎷᏨ, ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏖᎸᎩ ᏈᏗᏂᏱ ᏭᏂᎶᎯᏍᏗᏱ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎥᏝ ᎤᎾᏁᎳᎩ ᏱᏚᏪᎵᏎᎴ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
ᎻᏏᏱᏃ ᎤᏂᎶᏒ, ᏠᎠᏏ ᏭᏂᎷᏨᎩ.
9 And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: —A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying—Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!
ᏉᎳᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏫᏎᎸᎩ ᏒᏃᏱ; ᎩᎶ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᎡᎯ ᎦᏙᎨᎢ, ᎤᏔᏲᏎᎮᎢ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎮᎢ; ᎹᏏᏙᏂ ᏫᎷᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏫᏍᎩᏍᏕᎸ.
10 Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them.

11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᏠᎠᏏ ᏥᏳᎯ ᎣᎦᏣᏅ ᏧᏳᎪᏗ ᏬᎩᏅᏍᏔᏅᎩ, ᏎᎹᏞᏏ ᏬᎩᏃᎸᎩ; ᎤᎩᏨᏛᏃ ᏂᎠᏆᎵᏏ ᏬᎩᏃᎸᎩ.
12 and, from thence, unto Philippi, —which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days;
ᎾᎿᎭᏃ ᏫᎣᎦᏣᏅ, ᏈᎵᎩᏱ ᏬᎩᏃᎸᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᎬᏫᏳᏒ ᎦᏚᎲ ᎾᎿᎭᎢᏗᏢ ᎹᏏᏙᏂ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏛ ᎤᏂᏚᎲ ᏥᎩ. ᎾᎿᎭᏃ ᎦᏚᎲ ᎢᎸᏍᎩ ᏧᏒᎯᏛ ᎣᎨᏙᎸᎩ.
13 and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, —and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.

14 And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul.
ᎩᎶᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᎨᏴ ᎵᏗ ᏧᏙᎢᏛ, ᎩᎦᎨ ᏗᏄᏬ ᎦᏃᏗᏍᎩ, ᏓᏱᏓᎵ ᎦᏚᎲ ᎡᎯ, ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᏓᏙᎵᏍᏔᏁᎯ, ᎤᏛᏓᏍᏔᏅᎩ. ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎾᏫᏱ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᎤᏍᏚᎢᏒᎩ, ᎤᏛᏓᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏉᎳ ᎧᏁᎬᎢ.
15 And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying—If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

16 And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us, —who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining.
ᎯᎠᏃ ᏄᎵᏍᏔᏅᎩ, ᎠᏓᏙᎵᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᎣᎨᏅ, ᎩᎶ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏛ, ᎠᏓᏅᏙ ᎠᏙᏂᏍᎩ ᎤᏯᎢ, ᏙᎦᏠᏒᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏣᏛ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ ᏓᏩᏛᎡᎲᎩ ᎬᏩᎾᏝᎢ ᎠᏙᏂᏍᎬ ᎬᏗᏍᎩ.
17 The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying—These men, are servants of the Most High God, —who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎣᎩᏍᏓᏩᏗᏒ ᏉᎳ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏴ, ᎤᏪᎷᏅᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ; ᎯᎠ ᎠᏂᏍᎦᏯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏩᏍᏛ ᎦᎸᎳᏗᏳ ᎡᎯ ᏧᏅᏏᏓᏍᏗ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎬᏂᎨᏒ ᏥᏂᎨᎬᏁᎭ ᏅᏃᎯ ᎠᎵᏍᏕᎸᏙᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
18 And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said—I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.
ᎠᎴ ᎤᏣᏛ ᏄᏒᎸᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎾᏛᏁᎲᎩ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᏉᎳ ᎤᏕᏯᏔᏁᎸ ᎤᎦᏔᎲᏒᎩ, ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏎᎸᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏓᏅᏙ; ᎬᏁᏥ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᏕᎤᏙᎥ ᎬᏗᎭ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎱᎪᏤᏗᏱ. ᎾᎯᏳᏉᏃ ᎤᏄᎪᏨᎩ.
19 And, her masters, seeing that their hope of gain had gone out, laying hold on Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market-place, unto the rulers;

20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,

22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;
ᎤᏂᏣᏘᏃ ᎨᏒ ᏕᎬᏩᏂᎦᏘᎸᏒᎩ; ᏗᏄᎪᏗᏍᎩᏃ ᏚᏂᏄᏪᏒ ᎤᏂᏁᏨᎩ ᏗᎨᏥᎵᎥᏂᏍᏗᏱ.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
ᎤᏣᏘᏃ ᏂᏚᏅᏂᎸ, ᏗᏓᏍᏚᏗᏱ ᏚᏂᏴᏔᏅᎩ, ᎤᏂᏁᏤᎸᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏥᎦᏘᏗᏍᏗ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏧᎦᏘᏗᏍᏗᏱ.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎾᏥᏪᏎᎸ ᎠᏥᏁᏤᎸ, ᏫᏚᏴᏔᏅᎩ ᏗᏓᏍᏚᏗᏱ ᎪᏢᏒ ᎦᎵᏦᏕ ᎭᏫᏂ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏍᏓᏯ ᏚᏅᏎᏙᏅ ᎠᏙᎯ.
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
ᏒᏃᏱᏃ ᎠᏰᎵ ᏉᎳ ᎠᎴ ᏌᏱᎳ ᎤᎾᏓᏙᎵᏍᏔᏁᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏚᏂᏃᎩᏍᏔᏁᎢ; ᏗᎨᏥᏍᏚᎯᏃ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᎾᏛᎦᏁᎢ.
26 And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, —so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.
ᎤᏰᎶᎢᏍᏔᏁᏃ ᎦᏙᎯ ᎤᎵᏖᎸᏁᎢ; ᎠᎴ ᏗᏓᏍᏚᏘᏱ ᏚᎵᏍᏓᏱᏗᏍᏛ ᏚᎵᏖᎸᏁᎢ, ᎩᎳᏉᏃ ᎢᏴᏛ ᏂᎦᏛ ᏓᏍᏚᎲ ᏚᎵᏍᏚᎢᏎᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏂᎥ ᏚᎾᏓᎸᏍᏛ ᏚᏢᏒᎮᎢ.
27 And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.
ᏗᏓᏍᏚᏗᏱᏃ ᎠᎦᏘᏯ, ᎤᏰᏨ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏙᎴᎰᏒ ᎦᎶᎯᏍᏗᏱ ᏗᏓᏍᏚᏗᏱ ᏧᎵᏍᏚᎢᏛ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎤᎸᎮ ᎠᏰᎳᏍᏗ ᎦᏅᎯᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏩᏒ ᏗᏓᎵᏎᎢ, ᏗᎨᏥᏍᏚᎯ ᎤᎾᎵᏒ ᎡᎵᏍᎨᎢ.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.

29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,

30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?

31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.

32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.

33 And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot;

34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.

35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!

36 And the prison-keeper reported the words unto Paul—The magistrates have sent, that ye be let go. Now, therefore, going forth, be taking your journey in peace.

37 But, Paul, said unto them—Beating us, in public, uncondemned, men that are Romans, they thrust us into prison; —and, now, by stealth, are they thrusting us forth? Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out!

38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;

40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
