Atti 16
1 Or egli giunse in Derba, ed in Listra; ed ecco, quivi era un certo discepolo, [chiamato] per nome Timoteo, figliuol d'una donna Giudea fedele, ma di padre Greco;
BUT a certain disciple was there whose name was Timotheus, the son of a certain Jihudoytha, a believer, and his father an Aramoya.
2 del quale i fratelli, ch' [erano] in Listra, ed in Iconio, rendevan [buona] testimonianza.
And all the disciples who were of Lystra and Ikonia testified concerning him.
3 Costui volle Paolo che andasse seco; e presolo, lo circoncise, per cagion de' Giudei ch' erano in quei luoghi; perciocchè tutti sapevano che il padre d'esso era Greco.
This Paulos willed to take with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jihudoyee who were in the place; for they all knew his father that he was an Aramoya.
4 E passando essi per le città, ordinavano loro d'osservar gli statuti determinati dagli apostoli, e dagli anziani, ch' [erano] in Gerusalemme.
And when they had gone into the cities they preached and instructed them to keep those statutes which the apostles and presbyters who were in Urishlem had written.
5 Le chiese adunque erano confermate nella fede, e di giorno in giorno crescevano in numero.
So were the churches confirmed in the faith, and multiplied in number every day.
6 Poi, avendo traversata la Frigia, e il paese della Galazia, essendo divietati dallo Spirito Santo d'annunziar la parola in Asia,
But they went through the countries of Phrygia and Galatia; and the Spirit of Holiness forbad them, that they should not preach the word of Aloha in Asia.
7 vennero in Misia, e tentavano d'andare in Bitinia; ma lo Spirito di Gesù nol permise loro.
And when they came to the region of Mysia they willed to go from thence to Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jeshu permitted them not.
8 E passata la Misia, discesero in Troas.
AND when they had gone forth from Mysia they came to the region of Troas.
9 ED una visione apparve di notte a Paolo. Un uomo Macedone [gli] si presentò, pregandolo, e dicendo: Passa in Macedonia, e soccorrici.
And in a vision of the night, Paulos saw as a certain man, a Makedonoia, who stood and besought him, saying, Come unto Makedunia and help me.
10 E quando egli ebbe veduta quella visione, presto noi procacciammo di passare in Macedonia, tenendo per certo che il Signore ci avea chiamati là, per evangelizzare a que' [popoli].
But when Paulos had seen this vision, he immediately willed to go forth to Makedunia, for he understood that our Lord called us to evangelize them.
11 E perciò, partendo di Troas, arrivammo per diritto corso in Samotracia, e il giorno seguente a Napoli;
And we went from Troas and proceeded directly to Samuthracia, and from thence the day after we came to Neapolis the city,
12 e di là a Filippi, ch'è la prima città di quella parte di Macedonia, [ed è] colonia; e dimorammo in quella città alquanti giorni.
and from thence to Philippos, which is the head of Makedunia, and is a colony. But we were in that city certain days.
13 E nel giorno del sabato andammo fuor della città, presso del fiume, dove era il luogo ordinario [dell]'orazione; e postici a sedere, parlavamo alle donne ch'erano [quivi] raunate.
And we went out on the day of shabath without the gate of the city to the bank of the river, because there was seen a house of prayer; and sitting down we discoursed with the women who assembled there.
14 Ed una certa donna, [chiamata] per nome Lidia, mercatante di porpora, della città di Tiatiri, la qual serviva a Dio, stava ad ascoltare. E il Signore aperse il suo cuore, per attendere alle cose dette da Paolo.
And a certain female, a seller of purple, who feared Aloha, her name was Lydia, of Theatira the city, (was there, ) whose heart our Lord opened, and she heard that which Paulos spake.
15 E, dopo che fu battezzata ella e la sua famiglia, [ci] pregò dicendo: Se voi mi avete giudicata esser fedele al Signore, entrate in casa mia, e dimorate[vi]. E ci fece forza.
And she was baptized, she and the sons of her house. And she besought us and said, If it be that you truly think that I have believed in our Lord, come, remain in my house; and she constrained us much.
16 Or avvenne, come noi andavamo all'orazione, che noi incontrammo una fanticella, che avea uno spirito di Pitone, la quale con indovinare facea gran profitto a' suoi padroni.
AND it was while we went to the house of prayer, a certain damsel met us in whom was a spirit of divination, and she had produced her lords much gain by her divination.
17 Costei, messasi a seguitar Paolo e noi, gridava, dicendo: Questi uomini son servitori dell'Iddio altissimo, e vi annunziano la via della salute.
And she came after Paulos and after us, and cried and said, These men are the servants of Aloha the Most High, and announce to us the way of salvation.
18 E fece questo per molti giorni; ma, essendo[ne] Paolo annoiato, si rivoltò, e disse allo spirito: Io ti comando, nel nome di Gesù Cristo, che tu esca fuor di lei. Ed egli uscì in quello stante.
And this she did many days. And Paulos was indignant, and said to that spirit, I command thee in the name of Jeshu Meshiha to come out of her. And in that hour it came out.
19 Or i padroni d'essa, veggendo che la speranza del lor guadagno era svanita, presero Paolo, e Sila, e li trassero alla corte a' rettori.
And when her lords saw that the hope of their gain had gone from her, they laid hold on Paulos and Shilo and drew them to the public place, and brought them unto the prefects and to the chiefs of the city,
20 E presentatili a' pretori, dissero: Questi uomini turbano la nostra città; perciocchè son Giudei;
and said, These men are troubling our city, because they are Jihudoyee,
21 ed annunziano dei riti, i quali non è lecito a noi, che siam Romani, di ricevere, nè di osservare.
and are preaching to us those rites which it is not permitted us to receive and perform, because we are Rumoyee.
22 La moltitudine ancora si levò tutta insieme contro a loro; e i pretori, stracciate loro le vesti, comandarono che fosser frustati.
And a great gathering assembled against them. Then the prefects rent their vestments, and commanded to scourge them.
23 E dopo aver loro data una gran battitura, [li] misero in prigione, comandando al carceriere di guardarli sicuramente.
And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the house of the bound, and commanded the keeper of the house of the bound to keep them watchfully.
24 Il quale, ricevuto un tal comandamento, li mise nella prigione più addentro, e serrò loro i piedi ne' ceppi.
But he, having received this command, brought in and shut them in the inner house of the house of the bound, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Or in su la mezzanotte, Paolo e Sila, facendo orazione, cantavono inni a Dio; e i prigioni li udivano.
And in the dividing of the night, Paulos and Shilo prayed and glorified Aloha, and the chained-ones heard them.
26 E di subito si fece un gran tremoto, talchè i fondamenti della prigione furono scrollati; e in quello stante tutte le porte si apersero, e i legami di tutti si sciolsero.
And suddenly there was a great trembling, and the foundations of the house of the bound trembled, and at once the doors of all were opened, and the chains of all were loosened.
27 E il carceriere, destatosi, e vedute le porte della prigione aperte, trasse fuori la spada, ed era per uccidersi, pensando che i prigioni se ne fosser fuggiti.
And when the keeper of the house of the bound awoke, and saw that the doors of the house of the bound were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself, because he thought that the chained-ones had fled.
28 Ma Paolo gridò ad alta voce, dicendo: Non farti male alcuno; perciocchè noi siam tutti qui.
And Paulos cried with a high voice and said to him, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
29 Ed egli, chiesto un lume, saltò dentro; e tutto tremante, si gettò a' piedi di Paolo e di Sila.
And he kindled for himself a lamp, and sprang, and came, perturbed, and fell at the feet of Paulos and of Shilo:
30 E menatili fuori, disse: Signori, che mi conviene egli fare per esser salvato?
and he brought them without, and said to them, My lords, what behoveth me to do that I may be saved?
31 Ed essi dissero: Credi nel Signor Gesù Cristo, e sarai salvato tu, e la casa tua.
And they said to him, Believe in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 Ed essi annunziarono la parola del Signore a lui, ed a tutti coloro ch'erano in casa sua.
And they spoke with him the words of the Lord, and with all the sons of his house.
33 Ed egli, presili in quell'istessa ora della notte, lavò [loro] le piaghe. Poi in quell'istante fu battezzato egli, e tutti i suoi.
And in the same hour of that night, he took and washed them from their stripes, and was forthwith baptized, and all the sons of his house.
34 Poi, menatili in casa sua, mise loro la tavola; e giubilava d'avere, con tutta la sua casa, creduto a Dio.
And he took and brought them up into his house, and set for them the table, and exulted, he and the sons of his house, in the faith of Aloha.
35 Ora, come fu giorno, i pretori mandarono i sergenti a dire [al carceriere: ] Lascia andar quegli uomini.
And when it was morning the prefects sent to the bearers of rods to say to the chief of the house of the bound, Loose those men.
36 E il carceriere rapportò a Paolo queste parole, [dicendo: ] I pretori hanno mandato a dire che siate liberati; ora dunque uscite, e andatevene in pace.
AND when the chief of the house of the bound heard, he entered and spoke that word to Paulos, that the prefects have sent that you might he dismissed; and now go forth (and) proceed in peace.
37 Ma Paolo disse loro: Dopo averci pubblicamente battuti, senza essere stati condannati in giudicio, [noi] che siam Romani, ci hanno messi in prigione; ed ora celatamente ci mandano fuori! [La cosa] non [andrà così]; anzi, vengano eglino stessi, e ci menino fuori.
Paulos saith to him, They scourged us in the eyes of the world, (we) being innocent, (and) Roman men, and threw us into the house of the bound; and now would they bring us forth secretly? No, indeed, but they shall come and bring us out.
38 E i sergenti rapportarono queste parole a' pretori; ed essi temettero, avendo inteso ch'erano Romani.
And the bearers of rods went and told the prefects these words which had been spoken to them. And when they heard that they were Rumoyee, they feared.
39 E vennero, e li pregarono [di perdonar loro]; e menati[li] fuori, [li] richiesero d'uscir della città.
And they came to them, and besought them to come forth and depart from the city.
40 Ed essi, usciti di prigione, entrarono in casa di Lidia; e, veduti i fratelli, li consolarono, e [poi] si dipartirono.
And when they had gone forth from the house of the bound, they entered with Lydia, and there saw the brethren, and consoled them. And they went forth
