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, —
paulō darbbīlustrānagarayōrupasthitōbhavat tatra tīmathiyanāmā śiṣya ēka āsīt; sa viśvāsinyā yihūdīyāyā yōṣitō garbbhajātaḥ kintu tasya pitānyadēśīyalōkaḥ|
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
sa janō lustrā-ikaniyanagarasthānāṁ bhrātr̥ṇāṁ samīpēpi sukhyātimān āsīt|
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.
paulastaṁ svasaṅginaṁ karttuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā taṁ gr̥hītvā taddēśanivāsināṁ yihūdīyānām anurōdhāt tasya tvakchēdaṁ kr̥tavān yatastasya pitā bhinnadēśīyalōka iti sarvvairajñāyata|
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.
tataḥ paraṁ tē nagarē nagarē bhramitvā yirūśālamasthaiḥ prēritai rlōkaprācīnaiśca nirūpitaṁ yad vyavasthāpatraṁ tadanusārēṇācarituṁ lōkēbhyastad dattavantaḥ|
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
tēnaiva sarvvē dharmmasamājāḥ khrīṣṭadharmmē susthirāḥ santaḥ pratidinaṁ varddhitā abhavan|
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
tēṣu phrugiyāgālātiyādēśamadhyēna gatēṣu satsu pavitra ātmā tān āśiyādēśē kathāṁ prakāśayituṁ pratiṣiddhavān|
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
tathā musiyādēśa upasthāya bithuniyāṁ gantuṁ tairudyōgē kr̥tē ātmā tān nānvamanyata|
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
tasmāt tē musiyādēśaṁ parityajya trōyānagaraṁ gatvā samupasthitāḥ|
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!
rātrau paulaḥ svapnē dr̥ṣṭavān ēkō mākidaniyalōkastiṣṭhan vinayaṁ kr̥tvā tasmai kathayati, mākidaniyādēśam āgatyāsmān upakurvviti|
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.
tasyētthaṁ svapnadarśanāt prabhustaddēśīyalōkān prati susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum asmān āhūyatīti niścitaṁ buddhvā vayaṁ tūrṇaṁ mākidaniyādēśaṁ gantum udyōgam akurmma|
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
tataḥ paraṁ vayaṁ trōyānagarād prasthāya r̥jumārgēṇa sāmathrākiyōpadvīpēna gatvā parē'hani niyāpalinagara upasthitāḥ|
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;
tasmād gatvā mākidaniyāntarvvartti rōmīyavasatisthānaṁ yat philipīnāmapradhānanagaraṁ tatrōpasthāya katipayadināni tatra sthitavantaḥ|
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.
viśrāmavārē nagarād bahi rgatvā nadītaṭē yatra prārthanācāra āsīt tatrōpaviśya samāgatā nārīḥ prati kathāṁ prācārayāma|
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.
tataḥ thuyātīrānagarīyā dhūṣarāmbaravikrāyiṇī ludiyānāmikā yā īśvarasēvikā yōṣit śrōtrīṇāṁ madhya āsīt tayā paulōktavākyāni yad gr̥hyantē tadarthaṁ prabhustasyā manōdvāraṁ muktavān|
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.
ataḥ sā yōṣit saparivārā majjitā satī vinayaṁ kr̥tvā kathitavatī, yuṣmākaṁ vicārād yadi prabhau viśvāsinī jātāhaṁ tarhi mama gr̥ham āgatya tiṣṭhata| itthaṁ sā yatnēnāsmān asthāpayat|
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.
yasyā gaṇanayā tadadhipatīnāṁ bahudhanōpārjanaṁ jātaṁ tādr̥śī gaṇakabhūtagrastā kācana dāsī prārthanāsthānagamanakāla āgatyāsmān sākṣāt kr̥tavatī|
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.
sāsmākaṁ paulasya ca paścād ētya prōccaiḥ kathāmimāṁ kathitavatī, manuṣyā ētē sarvvōparisthasyēśvarasya sēvakāḥ santō'smān prati paritrāṇasya mārgaṁ prakāśayanti|
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.
sā kanyā bahudināni tādr̥śam akarōt tasmāt paulō duḥkhitaḥ san mukhaṁ parāvartya taṁ bhūtamavadad, ahaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā tvāmājñāpayāmi tvamasyā bahirgaccha; tēnaiva tatkṣaṇāt sa bhūtastasyā bahirgataḥ|
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;
tataḥ svēṣāṁ lābhasya pratyāśā viphalā jātēti vilōkya tasyāḥ prabhavaḥ paulaṁ sīlañca dhr̥tvākr̥ṣya vicārasthānē'dhipatīnāṁ samīpam ānayan|
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
tataḥ śāsakānāṁ nikaṭaṁ nītvā rōmilōkā vayam asmākaṁ yad vyavaharaṇaṁ grahītum ācarituñca niṣiddhaṁ,
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
imē yihūdīyalōkāḥ santōpi tadēva śikṣayitvā nagarē'smākam atīva kalahaṁ kurvvanti,
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;
iti kathitē sati lōkanivahastayōḥ prātikūlyēnōdatiṣṭhat tathā śāsakāstayō rvastrāṇi chitvā vētrāghātaṁ karttum ājñāpayan|
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
aparaṁ tē tau bahu prahāryya tvamētau kārāṁ nītvā sāvadhānaṁ rakṣayēti kārārakṣakam ādiśan|
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
ittham ājñāṁ prāpya sa tāvabhyantarasthakārāṁ nītvā pādēṣu pādapāśībhi rbaddhvā sthāpitāvān|
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
atha niśīthasamayē paulasīlāvīśvaramuddiśya prāthanāṁ gānañca kr̥tavantau, kārāsthitā lōkāśca tadaśr̥ṇvan
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.
tadākasmāt mahān bhūmikampō'bhavat tēna bhittimūlēna saha kārā kampitābhūt tatkṣaṇāt sarvvāṇi dvārāṇi muktāni jātāni sarvvēṣāṁ bandhanāni ca muktāni|
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.
ataēva kārārakṣakō nidrātō jāgaritvā kārāyā dvārāṇi muktāni dr̥ṣṭvā bandilōkāḥ palāyitā ityanumāya kōṣāt khaṅgaṁ bahiḥ kr̥tvātmaghātaṁ karttum udyataḥ|
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
kintu paulaḥ prōccaistamāhūya kathitavān paśya vayaṁ sarvvē'trāsmahē, tvaṁ nijaprāṇahiṁsāṁ mākārṣīḥ|
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
tadā pradīpam ānētum uktvā sa kampamānaḥ san ullampyābhyantaram āgatya paulasīlayōḥ pādēṣu patitavān|
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
paścāt sa tau bahirānīya pr̥ṣṭavān hē mahēcchau paritrāṇaṁ prāptuṁ mayā kiṁ karttavyaṁ?
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
paścāt tau svagr̥hamānīya tayōḥ sammukhē khādyadravyāṇi sthāpitavān tathā sa svayaṁ tadīyāḥ sarvvē parivārāścēśvarē viśvasantaḥ sānanditā abhavan|
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
tasmai tasya gr̥hasthitasarvvalōkēbhyaśca prabhōḥ kathāṁ kathitavantau|
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;
tathā rātrēstasminnēva daṇḍē sa tau gr̥hītvā tayōḥ prahārāṇāṁ kṣatāni prakṣālitavān tataḥ sa svayaṁ tasya sarvvē parijanāśca majjitā abhavan|
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
paścāt tau svagr̥hamānīya tayōḥ sammukhē khādyadravyāṇi sthāpitavān tathā sa svayaṁ tadīyāḥ sarvvē parivārāścēśvarē viśvasantaḥ sānanditā abhavan|
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
dina upasthitē tau lōkau mōcayēti kathāṁ kathayituṁ śāsakāḥ padātigaṇaṁ prēṣitavantaḥ|
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.
tataḥ kārārakṣakaḥ paulāya tāṁ vārttāṁ kathitavān yuvāṁ tyājayituṁ śāsakā lōkāna prēṣitavanta idānīṁ yuvāṁ bahi rbhūtvā kuśalēna pratiṣṭhētāṁ|
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!
kintu paulastān avadat rōmilōkayōrāvayōḥ kamapi dōṣam na niścitya sarvvēṣāṁ samakṣam āvāṁ kaśayā tāḍayitvā kārāyāṁ baddhavanta idānīṁ kimāvāṁ guptaṁ vistrakṣyanti? tanna bhaviṣyati, svayamāgatyāvāṁ bahiḥ kr̥tvā nayantu|
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
tadā padātibhiḥ śāsakēbhya ētadvārttāyāṁ kathitāyāṁ tau rōmilōkāviti kathāṁ śrutvā tē bhītāḥ
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
santastayōḥ sannidhimāgatya vinayam akurvvan aparaṁ bahiḥ kr̥tvā nagarāt prasthātuṁ prārthitavantaḥ|
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
tatastau kārāyā nirgatya ludiyāyā gr̥haṁ gatavantau tatra bhrātr̥gaṇaṁ sākṣātkr̥tya tān sāntvayitvā tasmāt sthānāt prasthitau|
