And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess that believed; but his father was a Greek.

2 sa janO lustrA-ikaniyanagarasthAnAM bhrAtRNAM samIpEpi sukhyAtimAn AsIt|

The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.

Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

4 tataH paraM tE nagarE nagarE bhramitvA yirUzAlamasthaiH prEritai rlOkaprAcInaizca nirUpitaM yad vyavasthApatraM tadanusArENAcarituM lOkEbhyastad dattavantaH|

And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees to keep which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.

5 tEnaiva sarvvE dharmmasamAjAH khrISTadharmmE susthirAH santaH pratidinaM varddhitA abhavan|

So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

6 tESu phrugiyAgAlAtiyAdEzamadhyEna gatESu satsu pavitra AtmA tAn AziyAdEzE kathAM prakAzayituM pratiSiddhavAn|

And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

7 tathA musiyAdEza upasthAya bithuniyAM gantuM tairudyOgE kRtE AtmA tAn nAnvamanyata|

and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;

8 tasmAt tE musiyAdEzaM parityajya trOyAnagaraM gatvA samupasthitAH|

and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

9 rAtrau paulaH svapnE dRSTavAn EkO mAkidaniyalOkastiSThan vinayaM kRtvA tasmai kathayati, mAkidaniyAdEzam AgatyAsmAn upakurvviti|

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

10 tasyEtthaM svapnadarzanAt prabhustaddEzIyalOkAn prati susaMvAdaM pracArayitum asmAn AhUyatIti nizcitaM buddhvA vayaM tUrNaM mAkidaniyAdEzaM gantum udyOgam akurmma|

And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel unto them.

11 tataH paraM vayaM trOyAnagarAd prasthAya RjumArgENa sAmathrAkiyOpadvIpEna gatvA parE'hani niyApalinagara upasthitAH|

Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

12 tasmAd gatvA mAkidaniyAntarvvartti rOmIyavasatisthAnaM yat philipInAmapradhAnanagaraM tatrOpasthAya katipayadinAni tatra sthitavantaH|

and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.

13 vizrAmavArE nagarAd bahi rgatvA nadItaTE yatra prArthanAcAra AsIt tatrOpavizya samAgatA nArIH prati kathAM prAcArayAma|

And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women that were come together.

14 tataH thuyAtIrAnagarIyA dhUSarAmbaravikrAyiNI ludiyAnAmikA yA IzvarasEvikA yOSit zrOtrINAM madhya AsIt tayA paulOktavAkyAni yad gRhyantE tadarthaM prabhustasyA manOdvAraM muktavAn|

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.

15 ataH sA yOSit saparivArA majjitA satI vinayaM kRtvA kathitavatI, yuSmAkaM vicArAd yadi prabhau vizvAsinI jAtAhaM tarhi mama gRham Agatya tiSThata| itthaM sA yatnEnAsmAn asthApayat|

And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

16 yasyA gaNanayA tadadhipatInAM bahudhanOpArjanaM jAtaM tAdRzI gaNakabhUtagrastA kAcana dAsI prArthanAsthAnagamanakAla AgatyAsmAn sAkSAt kRtavatI|

And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.

17 sAsmAkaM paulasya ca pazcAd Etya prOccaiH kathAmimAM kathitavatI, manuSyA EtE sarvvOparisthasyEzvarasya sEvakAH santO'smAn prati paritrANasya mArgaM prakAzayanti|

The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim unto you the way of salvation.

18 sA kanyA bahudinAni tAdRzam akarOt tasmAt paulO duHkhitaH san mukhaM parAvartya taM bhUtamavadad, ahaM yIzukhrISTasya nAmnA tvAmAjnjApayAmi tvamasyA bahirgaccha; tEnaiva tatkSaNAt sa bhUtastasyA bahirgataH|

And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

19 tataH svESAM lAbhasya pratyAzA viphalA jAtEti vilOkya tasyAH prabhavaH paulaM sIlanjca dhRtvAkRSya vicArasthAnE'dhipatInAM samIpam Anayan|

But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,

20 tataH zAsakAnAM nikaTaM nItvA rOmilOkA vayam asmAkaM yad vyavaharaNaM grahItum Acaritunjca niSiddhaM,

and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

21 imE yihUdIyalOkAH santOpi tadEva zikSayitvA nagarE'smAkam atIva kalahaM kurvvanti,

and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.

22 iti kathitE sati lOkanivahastayOH prAtikUlyEnOdatiSThat tathA zAsakAstayO rvastrANi chitvA vEtrAghAtaM karttum AjnjApayan|

And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.

23 aparaM tE tau bahu prahAryya tvamEtau kArAM nItvA sAvadhAnaM rakSayEti kArArakSakam Adizan|

And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

24 ittham AjnjAM prApya sa tAvabhyantarasthakArAM nItvA pAdESu pAdapAzIbhi rbaddhvA sthApitAvAn|

who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

25 atha nizIthasamayE paulasIlAvIzvaramuddizya prAthanAM gAnanjca kRtavantau, kArAsthitA lOkAzca tadazRNvan

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

26 tadAkasmAt mahAn bhUmikampO'bhavat tEna bhittimUlEna saha kArA kampitAbhUt tatkSaNAt sarvvANi dvArANi muktAni jAtAni sarvvESAM bandhanAni ca muktAni|

and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.

27 ataEva kArArakSakO nidrAtO jAgaritvA kArAyA dvArANi muktAni dRSTvA bandilOkAH palAyitA ityanumAya kOSAt khaggaM bahiH kRtvAtmaghAtaM karttum udyataH|

And the jailor, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

28 kintu paulaH prOccaistamAhUya kathitavAn pazya vayaM sarvvE'trAsmahE, tvaM nijaprANahiMsAM mAkArSIH|

But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 tadA pradIpam AnEtum uktvA sa kampamAnaH san ullampyAbhyantaram Agatya paulasIlayOH pAdESu patitavAn|

And he called for lights and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 pazcAt sa tau bahirAnIya pRSTavAn hE mahEcchau paritrANaM prAptuM mayA kiM karttavyaM?

and brought them out and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 pazcAt tau svagRhamAnIya tayOH sammukhE khAdyadravyANi sthApitavAn tathA sa svayaM tadIyAH sarvvE parivArAzcEzvarE vizvasantaH sAnanditA abhavan|

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

32 tasmai tasya gRhasthitasarvvalOkEbhyazca prabhOH kathAM kathitavantau|

And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.

33 tathA rAtrEstasminnEva daNPE sa tau gRhItvA tayOH prahArANAM kSatAni prakSAlitavAn tataH sa svayaM tasya sarvvE parijanAzca majjitA abhavan|

And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.

34 pazcAt tau svagRhamAnIya tayOH sammukhE khAdyadravyANi sthApitavAn tathA sa svayaM tadIyAH sarvvE parivArAzcEzvarE vizvasantaH sAnanditA abhavan|

And he brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.

35 dina upasthitE tau lOkau mOcayEti kathAM kathayituM zAsakAH padAtigaNaM prESitavantaH|

But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.

36 tataH kArArakSakaH paulAya tAM vArttAM kathitavAn yuvAM tyAjayituM zAsakA lOkAna prESitavanta idAnIM yuvAM bahi rbhUtvA kuzalEna pratiSThEtAM|

And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.

37 kintu paulastAn avadat rOmilOkayOrAvayOH kamapi dOSam na nizcitya sarvvESAM samakSam AvAM kazayA tAPayitvA kArAyAM baddhavanta idAnIM kimAvAM guptaM vistrakSyanti? tanna bhaviSyati, svayamAgatyAvAM bahiH kRtvA nayantu|

But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.

38 tadA padAtibhiH zAsakEbhya EtadvArttAyAM kathitAyAM tau rOmilOkAviti kathAM zrutvA tE bhItAH

And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared when they heard that they were Romans;

39 santastayOH sannidhimAgatya vinayam akurvvan aparaM bahiH kRtvA nagarAt prasthAtuM prArthitavantaH|

and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.

40 tatastau kArAyA nirgatya ludiyAyA gRhaM gatavantau tatra bhrAtRgaNaM sAkSAtkRtya tAn sAntvayitvA tasmAt sthAnAt prasthitau|

And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
