Acts 16
1 So he came to Derbe and Lystra. Well now, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was a Greek;
Pervenit autem Derben, et Lystram. Et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibi nomine Timotheus, filius mulieris Iudææ fidelis, patre Gentili.
2 he was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.
Huic testimonium bonum reddebant qui in Lystris erant, et Iconio fratres.
3 Paul wanted to have him go on with him, so he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, because they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Hunc voluit Paulus secum proficisci: et assumens circumcidit eum propter Iudæos, qui erant in illis locis. Sciebant enim omnes quod pater eius erat Gentilis.
4 As they were going through the cities they were delivering the dogmas to them, to keep—the ones that had been determined by the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem.
Cum autem pertransirent civitates, tradebant eis custodiri dogmata, quæ erant decreta ab Apostolis et senioribus, qui erant Ierosolymis.
5 So the congregations kept on being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.
Et Ecclesiæ quidem confirmabantur fide, et abundabunt numero quotidie.
6 Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Transeuntes autem Phrygiam, et Galatiæ regionem, vetati sunt a Spiritu sancto loqui verbum Dei in Asia.
7 they approached Mysia and tried to go to Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.
Cum venissent autem in Mysiam, tentabant ire in Bithyniam: et non permisit eos Spiritus Iesu.
8 So they bypassed Mysia and went down to Troas.
Cum autem pertransissent Mysiam, descendeunt Troadem:
9 A vision appeared to Paul during the night: a man of Macedonia was standing, appealing to him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est: Vir Macedo quidam erat stans, et deprecans eum, et dicens: Transiens in Macedoniam, adiuva nos.
10 So when he saw the vision, we immediately prepared to go over to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to evangelize them.
Ut autem visum vidit, statim quæsivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quod vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.
11 So setting sail from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis;
Navigantes autem a Troade, recto cursu venimus Samothraciam, et sequenti die Neapolim:
12 and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. We stayed some days in that city.
et inde Philippos, quæ est prima partis Macedoniæ civitas, colonia. Eramus autem in hac Urbe diebus aliquot, conferentes.
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside the city by a river, where prayer was customarily made, and sitting down we started speaking to the assembled women.
Die autem sabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam iuxta flumen, ubi videbatur oratio esse: et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus, quæ convenerant.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, really listened, whose heart the Lord opened to give heed to the things spoken by Paul.
Et quædam mulier nomine Lydia, purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum, colens Deum, audivit: cuius Dominus aperuit cor intendere his, quæ dicebantur a Paulo.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she appealed saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
Cum autem baptizata esset, et domus eius, deprecata est dicens: Si iudicastis me fidelem Domino esse, introite in domum meam, et manete. Et coegit nos.
16 Now it happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain slave girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought considerable profit to her owners by divination.
Factum est autem euntibus nobis ad orationem, puellam quamdam habentem spiritum pythonem obviare nobis, quæ quæstum magnum præstabat dominis suis divinando.
17 Following Paul and Silas this girl kept calling out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to us the way of salvation!”
Hæc subsecuta Paulum, et nos, clamabat dicens: Isti homines servi Dei excelsi sunt, qui annunciant vobis viam salutis.
18 She kept this up for many days! So Paul, becoming increasingly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out that very hour.
Hoc autem faciebat multis diebus. Dolens autem Paulus, et conversus, spiritui dixit: Præcipio tibi in nomine Iesu Christi exire ab ea. Et exiit eadem hora.
19 But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place to the rulers,
Videntes autem domini eius quia exivit spes quæstus eorum, apprehendentes Paulum, et Silam perduxerunt in forum ad principes:
20 and bringing them before the magistrates they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
et offerentes eos magistratibus, dixerunt: Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sint Iudæi:
21 and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or do.”
et annunciant morem, quem non licet nobis suscipere, neque facere, cum simus Romani.
22 The crowd joined in the attack against them, and the magistrates tore the clothes off of them and ordered a beating with rods.
Et cucurrit plebs adversus eos: et magistratus, scissis tunicis eorum, iusserunt eos virgis cædi.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them securely;
Et cum multas plagas eis imposuissent, miserunt eos in carcerem, præcipientes custodi ut diligenter custodiret eos.
24 who, having received such a charge, threw them into the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Qui cum tale præceptum accepisset, misit eos in interiorem carcerem, et pedes eorum strinxit ligno.
25 Well about midnight Paul and Silas were singing hymns to God in prayer; and the other prisoners were listening to them.
Media autem nocte Paulus, et Silas orantes, laudabant Deum: et audiebant eos, qui in custodia erant.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, enough to shake the foundations of the prison; immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.
Subito vero terræmotus factus est magnus, ita ut moverentur fundamenta carceris. Et statim aperta sunt omnia ostia: et universorum vincula soluta sunt.
27 But the jailer, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew sword, intending to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Expergefactus autem custos carceris, et videns ianuas apertas carceris, evaginato gladio volebat se interficere, æstimans fugisse vinctos.
28 But Paul shouted out, “Don't harm yourself, because we are all here!”
Clamavit autem Paulus voce magna, dicens: Nihil tibi mali feceris: universi enim hic sumus.
29 So calling for a light he ran in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
Petitoque lumine, introgressus est: et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silæ ad pedes:
30 He then brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
et producens eos foras, ait: Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam?
31 So they said, “Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.”
At illi dixerunt: Crede in Dominum Iesum: et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.
32 Then they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
Et locuti sunt ei verbum Domini cum omnibus, qui erant in domo eius.
33 In that same hour of the night he took them aside and washed their wounds, and thereupon he and all his family were baptized.
Et tollens eos in illa hora noctis, lavit plagas eorum: et baptizatus est ipse, et omnis domus eius continuo.
34 Then he brought them into his house and set a meal before them, and he was really rejoicing, having believed in God with his whole family.
Cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam, apposuit eis mensam, et lætatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo.
35 Now when it was day the magistrates sent the officers saying, “Let those men go.”
Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores, dicentes: Dimitte homines illos.
36 So the jailer reported these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent to release you; so now you can leave and go in peace.”
Nunciavit autem custos carceris verba hæc Paulo: Quia miserunt magistratus ut dimittamini, nunc igitur exeuntes, ite in pace.
37 But Paul said to them: “After severely beating us in public, although we were uncondemned Romans, they threw us into prison, and now do they toss us out on the sly? No way! Rather, let them come themselves and escort us out!”
Paulus autem dixit eis: Cæsos nos publice, indemnatos, homines Romanos miserunt in carcerem, et nunc occulte nos eiiciunt? Non ita: sed veniant,
38 So the officers reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans;
et ipsi nos eiiciant. Nunciaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba hæc. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent:
39 and they came and appealed to them, and leading them out they asked them to leave the city.
et venientes deprecati sunt eos, et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur de Urbe.
40 So exiting the prison they entered Lydia's place, and upon seeing the brothers they encouraged them and departed.
Exeuntes autem de carcere, introierunt ad Lydiam: et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos, et profecti sunt.
