< 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, —
ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲧⲁⲛⲧⲁ ⲉⲇⲉⲣⲃⲏ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲥⲧⲣⲁ. ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲏ. ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ.

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.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲓⲧϥ̅ ⲁϥⲥⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲧϥ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲛⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲛⲉⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲉⲉⲓⲉⲛⲓⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
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.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩϯ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲛⲇⲟⲅⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.

6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲩⲑⲩⲛⲓⲁ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡϥ̅ⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲁⲧⲧⲙⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ.
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!
ⲑ̅ⲁⲩϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ ϭⲱⲗⲡ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ. ⲉϣϫⲉⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲱⲛ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲡⲥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛⲅ̅ⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲟⲣⲟⲙⲁ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲙⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲁϩⲙⲛ̅ ⲉⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲩ.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲕⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲱⲁⲥ ⲁⲛⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲥⲁⲙⲟⲑⲣⲁⲕⲏ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲁⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ.
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;
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉⲫⲓⲗⲓⲡⲡⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲉ ⲧϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉⲣⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ⲛⲉⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲩⲗⲏ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲟ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϣⲁⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲗⲩⲇⲓⲁ. ⲟⲩⲥⲁⲛϫⲏϭⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲑⲩⲁⲧⲓⲣⲁ. ⲉⲥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϩⲏⲧ. ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲥϯϩⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲥϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉⲥⲏⲓ̈. ⲁⲥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡⲛ̅ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲁⲁⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ⲁⲙⲏⲓ̈ⲧⲛ̅ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲏⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲥⲥⲱⲕ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ϫⲛⲁϩ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϣⲗⲏⲗ. ⲟⲩϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϣⲓⲛⲉ ϩⲓⲱⲱⲥ ⲁⲥⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲉⲣⲟⲛ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲛⲉⲥϯ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲥϣⲓⲛⲉ.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲁⲥⲟⲩⲁϩⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲛ. ⲁⲥⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϫⲟⲥⲉ. ⲉⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
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.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲟϫϩϫ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲕⲧⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅. ϫⲉ ϯⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
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;
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛⲉⲥϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲃⲱⲕ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩϩⲱⲃ. ⲁⲩⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲕ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁⲅⲟⲣⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁϩⲣⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲱⲛ
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,

21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.

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;
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲡⲉϩⲛⲉⲩϩⲟⲓ̈ⲧⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϭⲉⲣⲟⲟⲃ.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲛⲁⲩϩⲁϩ ⲛ̅ⲥⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϫⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ. ⲉⲁⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲓⲗⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ⲉϩⲁⲣⲉϩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲣϫ̅.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.

25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.

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.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϣⲥⲛⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲕⲙ̅ⲧⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛⲟⲉⲓⲛ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ. ⲁⲛ̅ⲣⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲣ̅ⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
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.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲓϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϣⲧⲉⲕⲟ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲏⲛ. ⲁϥⲧⲉⲕⲙⲧⲉϥⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉϥⲛⲁϩⲟⲧⲃⲉϥ ⲉϥⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
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.

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;

39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.

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