Acts 16

Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:

Κατηντησε δε εις Δερβην και Λυστραν. Και ιδου, ητο εκει μαθητης τις ονοματι Τιμοθεος, υιος γυναικος τινος Ιουδαιας πιστης, πατρος δε Ελληνος,

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

οστις ειχε καλην μαρτυριαν υπο των εν Λυστροις και Ικονιω αδελφων.

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

Τουτον ηθελησεν ο Παυλος να εξελθη μεθ εαυτου, και λαβων αυτον περιετεμε δια τους Ιουδαιους τους οντας εν τοις τοποις εκεινοις επειδη εγνωριζον παντες τον πατερα αυτου οτι ητο Ελλην.

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

Ως δε διηρχοντο τας πολεις, παρεδιδον εις αυτους διαταγας να φυλαττωσι τα δογματα τα εγκεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων των εν Ιερουσαλημ.

And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

Αι μεν λοιπον εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο εις την πιστιν και ηυξανοντο τον αριθμον καθ ημεραν.

Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

Διελθοντες δε την Φρυγιαν και την γην της Γαλατιας, επειδη εμποδισθησαν υπο του Αγιου Πνευματος να κηρυξωσι τον λογον εν τη Ασια,

After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

ηλθον κατα την Μυσιαν και εδοκιμαζον να υπαγωσι προς την Βιθυνιαν πλην δεν αφηκεν αυτους το Πνευμα.

And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

Περασαντες δε την Μυσιαν κατεβησαν εις Τρωαδα.

And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

Και οραμα εφανη δια νυκτος εις τον Παυλον. Ανηρ τις Μακεδων ιστατο, παρακαλων αυτον και λεγων Διαβα εις Μακεδονιαν και βοηθησον ημας.

And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

Και ως ειδε το οραμα, ευθυς εζητησαμεν να υπαγωμεν εις την Μακεδονιαν, συμπεραινοντες οτι ο Κυριος προσκαλει ημας, δια να κηρυξωμεν το ευαγγελιον προς αυτους.

Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

Αποπλευσαντες λοιπον απο της Τρωαδος, επερασαμεν κατ ευθειαν εις Σαμοθρακην και την ακολουθον ημεραν εις Νεαπολιν

And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.

και εκειθεν εις Φιλιππους, ητις ειναι πρωτη πολις του μερους εκεινου της Μακεδονιας, αποικια Ρωμαικη. Και διετριβομεν εν τη πολει ταυτη ημερας τινας

And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.

και τη ημερα του σαββατου εξηλθομεν εξω της πολεως πλησιον του ποταμου, οπου εσυνειθιζετο να γινηται προσευχη, και καθησαντες ελαλουμεν προς τας εκει συνελθουσας γυναικας.

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

Και γυνη τις Λυδια το ονομα, πωλητρια πορφυρας εκ πολεως Θυατειρων, σεβομενη τον Θεον, ηκουε, της οποιας ο Κυριος διηνοιξε την καρδιαν δια να προσεχη εις τα λαλουμενα υπο του Παυλου.

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.

Αφου δε εβαπτισθη αυτη και ο οικος αυτης, παρεκαλεσε λεγουσα Εαν με εκρινατε οτι ειμαι πιστη εις τον Κυριον, εισελθετε εις τον οικον μου και μεινατε και μας εβιασεν.

And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

Ενω δε επορευομεθα εις την προσευχην, απηντησεν ημας δουλη τις εχουσα πνευμα πυθωνος, ητις εδιδε πολυ κερδος εις τους κυριους αυτης μαντευομενη.

The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

Αυτη ακολουθησασα τον Παυλον και ημας εκραζε, λεγουσα Ουτοι οι ανθρωποι ειναι δουλοι του Θεου του Υψιστου, οιτινες κηρυττουσι προς ημας οδον σωτηριας.

And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

Τουτο δε εκαμνεν επι πολλας ημερας. Βαρυνθεις δε ο Παυλος και στραφεις, ειπε προς το πνευμα, Προσταζω σε εν τω ονοματι του Ιησου Χριστου να εξελθης απ αυτης. Και εξηλθε την αυτην ωραν.

And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,

Ιδοντες δε οι κυριοι αυτης οτι εξηλθεν η ελπις του κερδους αυτων, πιασαντες τον Παυλον και τον Σιλαν, εσυραν εις την αγοραν προς τους αρχοντας,

And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

και φεροντες αυτους προς τους στρατηγους, ειπον Ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταραττουσι την πολιν ημων, Ιουδαιοι οντες,

And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.

και διδασκουσιν εθιμα, τα οποια δεν ειναι εις ημας συγκεχωρημενον να παραδεχωμεθα μηδε να πραττωμεν, Ρωμαιοι οντες.

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

Και συνεφωρμησεν ο οχλος κατ αυτων. Και οι στρατηγοι διασχισαντες αυτων τα ιματια, προσεταττον να ραβδιζωσιν αυτους,

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

και αφου εδωκαν εις αυτους πολλους ραβδισμους, εβαλον εις φυλακην, παραγγειλαντες τον δεσμοφυλακα να φυλαττη αυτους ασφαλως

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

οστις λαβων τοιαυτην παραγγελιαν, εβαλεν αυτους εις την εσωτεραν φυλακην και συνεκλεισε τους ποδας αυτων εις το ξυλον.

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

Κατα δε το μεσονυκτιον ο Παυλος και ο Σιλας προσευχομενοι υμνουν τον Θεον και ηκροαζοντο αυτους οι δεσμιοι.

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

Και εξαιφνης εγεινε σεισμος μεγας, ωστε εσαλευθησαν τα θεμελια του δεσμωτηριου, και παρευθυς ηνοιχθησαν πασαι αι θυραι και ελυθησαν παντων τα δεσμα.

And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

Εξυπνησας δε ο δεσμοφυλαξ και ιδων ανεωγμενας τας θυρας της φυλακης, εσυρε μαχαιραν και εμελλε να θανατωση εαυτον, νομιζων οτι εφυγον οι δεσμιοι.

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

Πλην ο Παυλος εκραξε μετα φωνης μεγαλης, λεγων Μη πραξης μηδεν κακον εις σεαυτον διοτι παντες ειμεθα εδω.

Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

Ζητησας δε φωτα εισεπηδησε, και εντρομος γενομενος επεσεν εμπροσθεν του Παυλου και του Σιλα,

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

και εκβαλων αυτους εξω, ειπε Κυριοι, τι πρεπει να καμω δια να σωθω;

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

Οι δε ειπον Πιστευσον εις τον Κυριον Ιησουν Χριστον, και θελεις σωθη, συ και ο οικος σου.

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

Και ελαλησαν προς αυτον τον λογον του Κυριου και προς παντας τους εν τη οικια αυτου.

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

Και παραλαβων αυτους εν εκεινη τη ωρα της νυκτος, ελουσε τας πληγας αυτων και εβαπτισθη ευθυς αυτος και παντες οι αυτου,

And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

και αναβιβασας αυτους εις τον οικον αυτου παρεθηκε τραπεζαν, και ευφρανθη πανοικι πιστευσας εις το Θεον.

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

Αφου δε εγεινεν ημερα, εστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τους ραβδουχους, λεγοντες Απολυσον τους ανθρωπους εκεινους.

And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.

Και ο δεσμοφυλαξ απηγγειλε τους λογους τουτους προς τον Παυλον, λεγων οτι οι στρατηγοι εστειλαν δια να απολυθητε τωρα λοιπον εξελθετε και υπαγετε εν ειρηνη.

But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.

Αλλ ο Παυλος ειπε προς αυτους Αφου εδειραν ημας δημοσια χωρις να καταδικασθωμεν, ανθρωπους Ρωμαιους οντας, εβαλον εις φυλακην και τωρα μας εκβαλλουσι κρυφιως; ουχι βεβαιως, αλλ αυτοι ας ελθωσι και ας μας εκβαλωσιν.

And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

Ανηγγειλαν δε προς τους στρατηγους οι ραβδουχοι τους λογους τουτους και εφοβηθησαν ακουσαντες οτι ειναι Ρωμαιοι,

And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

και ελθοντες παρεκαλεσαν αυτους, και αφου εξεβαλον, παρεκαλουν αυτους να εξελθωσιν εκ της πολεως.

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.

Οι δε εξελθοντες εκ της φυλακης, υπηγον εις τον οικον της Λυδιας, και ιδοντες τους αδελφους, παρηγορησαν αυτους και ανεχωρησαν.
