Act 16:1Pervēnit autem Derbēn et Lystram.And he arrived at Derbe and Lystra. Act 16:1Et ecce discipulus quīdam erat ibi nōmine Timotheus, fīlius mulieris Jūdaeae fidēlis, patre gentīlī.And look, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, his father a Gentile. Act 16:2Huic testimōnium bonum reddēbant quī in Lystrīs erant et Iconiō frātrēs.To him good testimony was given by the brothers who were in Lystra and Iconium. Act 16:3Hunc voluit Paulus sēcum proficīscī: et assūmēns circumcīdit eum propter Jūdaeōs quī erant in illīs locīs.Paul wished him to set out with him: and taking him he circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places. Act 16:3Sciēbant enim omnēs quod pater ejus erat gentīlis.For they all knew that his father was a Gentile. Act 16:4Cum autem pertrānsīrent cīvitātēs, trādēbant eīs custōdīrī dogmata quae erant dēcrēta ab Apostolīs et seniōribus quī erant Jerosolymīs.And as they were passing through the cities, they were handing over to them to keep the decrees which had been decided by the Apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem. Act 16:5Et ecclēsiae quidem cōnfirmābantur fidē, et abundābunt numerō quotīdiē.And the churches indeed were being strengthened in faith, and were abounding in number daily.
Act 16:6Trānseuntēs autem Phrygiam et Galatiae regiōnem, vetātī sunt ā Spīritū Sānctō loquī verbum Deī in Asiā.And passing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word of God in Asia. Act 16:7Cum vēnissent autem in Mȳsiam, tentābant īre in Bīthȳniam: et nōn permīsit eōs Spīritus Jēsū.And when they had come into Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia: and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them. Act 16:8Cum autem pertrānsīssent Mȳsiam, dēscendērunt Trōadem: et vīsiō per noctem Paulō ostēnsa est: vir Macedō quīdam erat stāns et dēprecāns eum, et dīcēns: Trānsiēns in Macedoniam, adjuvā nōs.And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas: and a vision was shown to Paul during the night: a certain man of Macedonia was standing and entreating him, and saying: "Crossing into Macedonia, help us." Act 16:10Ut autem vīsum vīdit, statim quaesīvimus proficīscī in Macedoniam, certī factī quod vocāsset nōs Deus ēvangelizāre eīs.And when he had seen the vision, at once we sought to set out into Macedonia, made certain that God had called us to preach the Gospel to them.
Act 16:11Nāvigantēs autem ā Trōade, rēctō cursū vēnimus Samothrāciam, et sequentī diē Neāpolim: et inde Philippōs, quae est prīma partis Macedoniae cīvitās, colōnia.And sailing from Troas, with a straight course we came to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis: and from there to Philippi, which is the first city of the region of Macedonia, a colony. Act 16:12Erāmus autem in hāc urbe diēbus aliquot, cōnferentēs.And we were in this city for some days, conferring. Act 16:13Diē autem sabbatōrum ēgressī sumus forās portam jūxtā flūmen, ubi vidēbātur ōrātiō esse: et sedentēs loquēbāmur mulieribus quae convēnerant.And on the day of the sabbaths we went out outside the gate beside a river, where there seemed to be prayer: and sitting down we were speaking to the women who had come together. Act 16:14Et quaedam mulier nōmine Lȳdia, purpurāria cīvitātis Thyatirenōrum, colēns Deum, audīvit: cujus Dominus aperuit cor intendere hīs quae dīcēbantur ā Paulō.And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of the Thyatirans, worshipping God, listened: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were being said by Paul.
Act 16:15Cum autem baptizāta esset, et domus ejus, dēprecāta est, dīcēns: Sī jūdicāstis mē fidēlem Dominō esse, introīte in domum meam, et manēte.And when she had been baptized, and her household, she entreated us, saying: "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay." Act 16:15Et coëgit nōs.And she compelled us. Act 16:16Factum est autem euntibus nōbīs ad ōrātiōnem, puellam quamdam habentem spīritum pȳthōnem obviāre nōbīs, quae quaestum magnum praestābat dominīs suīs dīvīnandō.And it happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought great profit to her masters by soothsaying. Act 16:17Haec subsecūta Paulum et nōs, clāmābat dīcēns: Istī hominēs servī Deī excelsī sunt, quī annūntiant vōbīs viam salūtis.She, following after Paul and us, was shouting, saying: "These men are servants of the most high God, who announce to you the way of salvation." Act 16:18Hoc autem faciēbat multīs diēbus.And this she was doing for many days. Act 16:18Dolēns autem Paulus, et conversus, spīrituī dīxit: Praecipiō tibi in nōmine Jēsū Chrīstī exīre ab eā.But Paul, grieved, and turning round, said to the spirit: "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to go out from her."
Act 16:18Et exiit eādem hōrā.And it went out in the same hour. Act 16:19Videntēs autem dominī ejus quia exīvit spēs quaestūs eōrum, apprehendentēs Paulum et Silam, perdūxērunt in forum ad prīncipēs: et offerentēs eōs magistrātibus, dīxērunt: Hī hominēs conturbant cīvitātem nostram, cum sint Jūdaeī: et annūntiant mōrem quem nōn licet nōbīs suscipere neque facere, cum sīmus Rōmānī.But her masters, seeing that the hope of their profit had gone out, seizing Paul and Silas, led them into the forum to the rulers: and bringing them to the magistrates, they said: "These men are throwing our city into confusion, since they are Jews: and they announce a custom which it is not lawful for us to receive or to do, since we are Romans." Act 16:22Et cucurrit plēbs adversus eōs: et magistrātūs, scissīs tunicīs eōrum, jussērunt eōs virgīs caedī.And the common people ran together against them: and the magistrates, their tunics having been torn off, ordered them to be beaten with rods. Act 16:23Et cum multās plagās eīs imposuissent, mīsērunt eōs in carcerem, praecipientēs custōdī ut dīligenter custōdīret eōs.And when they had laid many blows on them, they sent them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them carefully.
Act 16:24Quī cum tāle praeceptum accēpisset, mīsit eōs in interiōrem carcerem, et pedēs eōrum strinxit lignō.He, when he had received such a command, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the wood. Act 16:25Mediā autem nocte Paulus et Silās ōrantēs, laudābant Deum: et audiēbant eōs quī in custōdiā erant.And at midnight Paul and Silas, praying, were praising God: and those who were in custody were listening to them. Act 16:26Subitō vērō terraemōtus factus est magnus, ita ut movērentur fundāmenta carceris.But suddenly a great earthquake happened, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. Act 16:26Et statim aperta sunt omnia ōstia: et ūniversōrum vincula solūta sunt.And at once all the doors were opened: and the bonds of all were loosed. Act 16:27Expergēfactus autem custōs carceris, et vidēns jānuās apertās carceris, ēvāgīnātō gladiō volēbat sē interficere, aestimāns fūgisse vinctōs.And the jailer, awakened, and seeing the doors of the prison open, having drawn his sword, was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had fled. Act 16:28Clāmāvit autem Paulus vōce magnā, dīcēns: Nihil tibi malī fēcerīs: ūniversī enim hīc sumus.But Paul shouted with a great voice, saying: "Do yourself no harm: for we are all here."
Act 16:29Petītōque lūmine, intrōgressus est: et tremefactus prōcidit Paulō et Silae ad pedēs: et prōdūcēns eōs forās, ait: Dominī, quid mē oportet facere, ut salvus fīam?And a light having been asked for, he went in: and, trembling, he fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas: and bringing them outside, he said: "Sirs, what must I do, that I may be saved?" Act 16:31At illī dīxērunt: Crēde in Dominum Jēsum, et salvus eris tū, et domus tua.And they said: "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you, and your household." Act 16:32Et locūtī sunt eī verbum Dominī cum omnibus quī erant in domō ejus.And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all who were in his house. Act 16:33Et tollēns eōs in illā hōrā noctis, lāvit plagās eōrum: et baptizātus est ipse, et omnis domus ejus continuō.And taking them in that hour of the night, he washed their wounds: and he himself was baptized, and all his household, straightaway. Act 16:34Cumque perdūxisset eōs in domum suam, apposuit eīs mēnsam, et laetātus est cum omnī domō suā crēdēns Deō.And when he had brought them into his house, he set a table before them, and rejoiced with all his household, believing in God.
Act 16:35Et cum diēs factus esset, mīsērunt magistrātūs līctōrēs, dīcentēs: Dīmitte hominēs illōs.And when day had come, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying: "Let those men go." Act 16:36Nūntiāvit autem custōs carceris verba haec Paulō: Quia mīsērunt magistrātūs ut dīmittāminī: nunc igitur exeuntēs, īte in pāce.And the jailer reported these words to Paul: "The magistrates have sent word that you be let go: now therefore, going out, go in peace." Act 16:37Paulus autem dīxit eīs: Caesōs nōs pūblicē, indemnātōs hominēs Rōmānōs, mīsērunt in carcerem: et nunc occultē nōs ējiciunt?But Paul said to them: "Having beaten us publicly, uncondemned men who are Romans, they sent us into prison: and now are they throwing us out secretly? Act 16:37Nōn ita: sed veniant, et ipsī nōs ējiciant.Not so: but let them come, and themselves throw us out." Act 16:38Nūntiāvērunt autem magistrātibus līctōrēs verba haec.And the lictors reported these words to the magistrates. Act 16:38Timuēruntque audītō quod Rōmānī essent: et venientēs dēprecātī sunt eōs, et ēdūcentēs rogābant ut ēgrederentur dē urbe.And they were afraid, having heard that they were Romans: and coming they entreated them, and leading them out they were asking them to go out from the city.
Act 16:40Exeuntēs autem dē carcere, introiērunt ad Lȳdiam: et vīsīs frātribus cōnsōlātī sunt eōs, et profectī sunt.And going out from the prison, they went in to Lydia: and having seen the brothers they consoled them, and set out.
