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, —
κατηντησεν δε εισ δερβην και λυστραν και ιδου μαθητησ τισ ην εκει ονοματι τιμοθεοσ υιοσ γυναικοσ τινοσ ιουδαιασ πιστησ πατροσ δε ελληνοσ
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
οσ εμαρτυρειτο υπο των εν λυστροισ και ικονιω αδελφων
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.
τουτον ηθελησεν ο παυλοσ συν αυτω εξελθειν και λαβων περιετεμεν αυτον δια τουσ ιουδαιουσ τουσ οντασ εν τοισ τοποισ εκεινοισ ηδεισαν γαρ απαντεσ τον πατερα αυτου οτι ελλην υπηρχεν
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.
ωσ δε διεπορευοντο τασ πολεισ παρεδιδουν αυτοισ φυλασσειν τα δογματα τα κεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων των εν ιερουσαλημ
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο τη πιστει και επερισσευον τω αριθμω καθ ημεραν
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
διελθοντεσ δε την φρυγιαν και την γαλατικην χωραν κωλυθεντεσ υπο του αγιου πνευματοσ λαλησαι τον λογον εν τη ασια
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
ελθοντεσ κατα την μυσιαν επειραζον κατα την βιθυνιαν πορευεσθαι και ουκ ειασεν αυτουσ το πνευμα
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
παρελθοντεσ δε την μυσιαν κατεβησαν εισ τρωαδα
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!
και οραμα δια τησ νυκτοσ ωφθη τω παυλω ανηρ τισ ην μακεδων εστωσ παρακαλων αυτον και λεγων διαβασ εισ μακεδονιαν βοηθησον ημιν
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.
ωσ δε το οραμα ειδεν ευθεωσ εζητησαμεν εξελθειν εισ την μακεδονιαν συμβιβαζοντεσ οτι προσκεκληται ημασ ο κυριοσ ευαγγελισασθαι αυτουσ
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
αναχθεντεσ ουν απο τησ τρωαδοσ ευθυδρομησαμεν εισ σαμοθρακην τη τε επιουση εισ νεαπολιν
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;
εκειθεν τε εισ φιλιππουσ ητισ εστιν πρωτη τησ μεριδοσ τησ μακεδονιασ πολισ κολωνεια ημεν δε εν αυτη τη πολει διατριβοντεσ ημερασ τινασ
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.
τη τε ημερα των σαββατων εξηλθομεν εξω τησ πολεωσ παρα ποταμον ου ενομιζετο προσευχη ειναι και καθισαντεσ ελαλουμεν ταισ συνελθουσαισ γυναιξιν
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.
και τισ γυνη ονοματι λυδια πορφυροπωλισ πολεωσ θυατειρων σεβομενη τον θεον ηκουεν ησ ο κυριοσ διηνοιξεν την καρδιαν προσεχειν τοισ λαλουμενοισ υπο του παυλου
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.
ωσ δε εβαπτισθη και ο οικοσ αυτησ παρεκαλεσεν λεγουσα ει κεκρικατε με πιστην τω κυριω ειναι εισελθοντεσ εισ τον οικον μου μεινατε και παρεβιασατο ημασ
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.
εγενετο δε πορευομενων ημων εισ προσευχην παιδισκην τινα εχουσαν πνευμα πυθωνοσ απαντησαι ημιν ητισ εργασιαν πολλην παρειχεν τοισ κυριοισ αυτησ μαντευομενη
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.
αυτη κατακολουθησασα τω παυλω και ημιν εκραζεν λεγουσα ουτοι οι ανθρωποι δουλοι του θεου του υψιστου εισιν οιτινεσ καταγγελλουσιν ημιν οδον σωτηριασ
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.
τουτο δε εποιει επι πολλασ ημερασ διαπονηθεισ δε ο παυλοσ και επιστρεψασ τω πνευματι ειπεν παραγγελλω σοι εν τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου εξελθειν απ αυτησ και εξηλθεν αυτη τη ωρα
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;
ιδοντεσ δε οι κυριοι αυτησ οτι εξηλθεν η ελπισ τησ εργασιασ αυτων επιλαβομενοι τον παυλον και τον σιλαν ειλκυσαν εισ την αγοραν επι τουσ αρχοντασ
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
και προσαγαγοντεσ αυτουσ τοισ στρατηγοισ ειπον ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταρασσουσιν ημων την πολιν ιουδαιοι υπαρχοντεσ
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
και καταγγελλουσιν εθη α ουκ εξεστιν ημιν παραδεχεσθαι ουδε ποιειν ρωμαιοισ ουσιν
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;
και συνεπεστη ο οχλοσ κατ αυτων και οι στρατηγοι περιρρηξαντεσ αυτων τα ιματια εκελευον ραβδιζειν
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
πολλασ τε επιθεντεσ αυτοισ πληγασ εβαλον εισ φυλακην παραγγειλαντεσ τω δεσμοφυλακι ασφαλωσ τηρειν αυτουσ
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
οσ παραγγελιαν τοιαυτην ειληφωσ εβαλεν αυτουσ εισ την εσωτεραν φυλακην και τουσ ποδασ αυτων ησφαλισατο εισ το ξυλον
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
κατα δε το μεσονυκτιον παυλοσ και σιλασ προσευχομενοι υμνουν τον θεον επηκροωντο δε αυτων οι δεσμιοι
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.
αφνω δε σεισμοσ εγενετο μεγασ ωστε σαλευθηναι τα θεμελια του δεσμωτηριου ανεωχθησαν τε παραχρημα αι θυραι πασαι και παντων τα δεσμα ανεθη
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.
εξυπνοσ δε γενομενοσ ο δεσμοφυλαξ και ιδων ανεωγμενασ τασ θυρασ τησ φυλακησ σπασαμενοσ μαχαιραν εμελλεν εαυτον αναιρειν νομιζων εκπεφευγεναι τουσ δεσμιουσ
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
εφωνησεν δε φωνη μεγαλη ο παυλοσ λεγων μηδεν πραξησ σεαυτω κακον απαντεσ γαρ εσμεν ενθαδε
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
αιτησασ δε φωτα εισεπηδησεν και εντρομοσ γενομενοσ προσεπεσεν τω παυλω και τω σιλα
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
και προαγαγων αυτουσ εξω εφη κυριοι τι με δει ποιειν ινα σωθω
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
οι δε ειπον πιστευσον επι τον κυριον ιησουν χριστον και σωθηση συ και ο οικοσ σου
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
και ελαλησαν αυτω τον λογον του κυριου και πασιν τοισ εν τη οικια αυτου
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;
και παραλαβων αυτουσ εν εκεινη τη ωρα τησ νυκτοσ ελουσεν απο των πληγων και εβαπτισθη αυτοσ και οι αυτου παντεσ παραχρημα
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
αναγαγων τε αυτουσ εισ τον οικον αυτου παρεθηκεν τραπεζαν και ηγαλλιατο πανοικι πεπιστευκωσ τω θεω
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
ημερασ δε γενομενησ απεστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τουσ ραβδουχουσ λεγοντεσ απολυσον τουσ ανθρωπουσ εκεινουσ
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.
απηγγειλεν δε ο δεσμοφυλαξ τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ προσ τον παυλον οτι απεσταλκασιν οι στρατηγοι ινα απολυθητε νυν ουν εξελθοντεσ πορευεσθε εν ειρηνη
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!
ο δε παυλοσ εφη προσ αυτουσ δειραντεσ ημασ δημοσια ακατακριτουσ ανθρωπουσ ρωμαιουσ υπαρχοντασ εβαλον εισ φυλακην και νυν λαθρα ημασ εκβαλλουσιν ου γαρ αλλα ελθοντεσ αυτοι εξαγαγετωσαν
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
ανηγγειλαν δε τοισ στρατηγοισ οι ραβδουχοι τα ρηματα ταυτα και εφοβηθησαν ακουσαντεσ οτι ρωμαιοι εισιν
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
και ελθοντεσ παρεκαλεσαν αυτουσ και εξαγαγοντεσ ηρωτων εξελθειν τησ πολεωσ
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
εξελθοντεσ δε εκ τησ φυλακησ εισηλθον προσ την λυδιαν και ιδοντεσ τουσ αδελφουσ παρεκαλεσαν αυτουσ και εξηλθον
