Acts

16

1Then 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:
1[] Κατηντησε δε εις Δερβην και Λυστραν. Και ιδου, ητο εκει μαθητης τις ονοματι Τιμοθεος, υιος γυναικος τινος Ιουδαιας πιστης, πατρος δε Ελληνος,
2Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
2οστις ειχε καλην μαρτυριαν υπο των εν Λυστροις και Ικονιω αδελφων.
3Him 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.
3Τουτον 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.
4And 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.
4Ως δε διηρχοντο τας πολεις, παρεδιδον εις αυτους διαταγας να φυλαττωσι τα δογματα τα εγκεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων των εν Ιερουσαλημ.
5And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
5Αι μεν λοιπον εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο εις την πιστιν και ηυξανοντο τον αριθμον καθ' ημεραν.
6Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
6[] Διελθοντες δε την Φρυγιαν και την γην της Γαλατιας, επειδη εμποδισθησαν υπο του Αγιου Πνευματος να κηρυξωσι τον λογον εν τη Ασια,
7After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
7ηλθον κατα την Μυσιαν και εδοκιμαζον να υπαγωσι προς την Βιθυνιαν· πλην δεν αφηκεν αυτους το Πνευμα.
8And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
8Περασαντες δε την Μυσιαν κατεβησαν εις Τρωαδα.
9And 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.
9Και οραμα εφανη δια νυκτος εις τον Παυλον. Ανηρ τις Μακεδων ιστατο, παρακαλων αυτον και λεγων· Διαβα εις Μακεδονιαν και βοηθησον ημας.
10And 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.
10Και ως ειδε το οραμα, ευθυς εζητησαμεν να υπαγωμεν εις την Μακεδονιαν, συμπεραινοντες οτι ο Κυριος προσκαλει ημας, δια να κηρυξωμεν το ευαγγελιον προς αυτους.
11Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
11Αποπλευσαντες λοιπον απο της Τρωαδος, επερασαμεν κατ' ευθειαν εις Σαμοθρακην και την ακολουθον ημεραν εις Νεαπολιν
12And 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.
12και εκειθεν εις Φιλιππους, ητις ειναι πρωτη πολις του μερους εκεινου της Μακεδονιας, αποικια Ρωμαικη. Και διετριβομεν εν τη πολει ταυτη ημερας τινας·
13And 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.
13και τη ημερα του σαββατου εξηλθομεν εξω της πολεως πλησιον του ποταμου, οπου εσυνειθιζετο να γινηται προσευχη, και καθησαντες ελαλουμεν προς τας εκει συνελθουσας γυναικας.
14And 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.
14Και 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.
15And 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.
15Αφου 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.
16And 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:
16[] Ενω δε επορευομεθα εις την προσευχην, απηντησεν ημας δουλη τις εχουσα πνευμα πυθωνος, ητις εδιδε πολυ κερδος εις τους κυριους αυτης μαντευομενη.
17The 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.
17Αυτη ακολουθησασα τον Παυλον και ημας εκραζε, λεγουσα· Ουτοι οι ανθρωποι ειναι δουλοι του Θεου του Υψιστου, οιτινες κηρυττουσι προς ημας οδον σωτηριας.
18And 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.
18Τουτο 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.
19And 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,
19Ιδοντες δε οι κυριοι αυτης οτι εξηλθεν η ελπις του κερδους αυτων, πιασαντες τον Παυλον και τον Σιλαν, εσυραν εις την αγοραν προς τους αρχοντας,
20And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
20και φεροντες αυτους προς τους στρατηγους, ειπον· Ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταραττουσι την πολιν ημων, Ιουδαιοι οντες,
21And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
21και διδασκουσιν εθιμα, τα οποια δεν ειναι εις ημας συγκεχωρημενον να παραδεχωμεθα μηδε να πραττωμεν, Ρωμαιοι οντες.
22And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
22Και συνεφωρμησεν ο οχλος κατ' αυτων. Και οι στρατηγοι διασχισαντες αυτων τα ιματια, προσεταττον να ραβδιζωσιν αυτους,
23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
23και αφου εδωκαν εις αυτους πολλους ραβδισμους, εβαλον εις φυλακην, παραγγειλαντες τον δεσμοφυλακα να φυλαττη αυτους ασφαλως·
24Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
24οστις λαβων τοιαυτην παραγγελιαν, εβαλεν αυτους εις την εσωτεραν φυλακην και συνεκλεισε τους ποδας αυτων εις το ξυλον.
25And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
25[] Κατα δε το μεσονυκτιον ο Παυλος και ο Σιλας προσευχομενοι υμνουν τον Θεον· και ηκροαζοντο αυτους οι δεσμιοι.
26And 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.
26Και εξαιφνης εγεινε σεισμος μεγας, ωστε εσαλευθησαν τα θεμελια του δεσμωτηριου, και παρευθυς ηνοιχθησαν πασαι αι θυραι και ελυθησαν παντων τα δεσμα.
27And 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.
27Εξυπνησας δε ο δεσμοφυλαξ και ιδων ανεωγμενας τας θυρας της φυλακης, εσυρε μαχαιραν και εμελλε να θανατωση εαυτον, νομιζων οτι εφυγον οι δεσμιοι.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
28Πλην ο Παυλος εκραξε μετα φωνης μεγαλης, λεγων· Μη πραξης μηδεν κακον εις σεαυτον· διοτι παντες ειμεθα εδω.
29Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
29Ζητησας δε φωτα εισεπηδησε, και εντρομος γενομενος επεσεν εμπροσθεν του Παυλου και του Σιλα,
30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
30και εκβαλων αυτους εξω, ειπε· Κυριοι, τι πρεπει να καμω δια να σωθω;
31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
31Οι δε ειπον· Πιστευσον εις τον Κυριον Ιησουν Χριστον, και θελεις σωθη, συ και ο οικος σου.
32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
32Και ελαλησαν προς αυτον τον λογον του Κυριου και προς παντας τους εν τη οικια αυτου.
33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
33Και παραλαβων αυτους εν εκεινη τη ωρα της νυκτος, ελουσε τας πληγας αυτων και εβαπτισθη ευθυς αυτος και παντες οι αυτου,
34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
34και αναβιβασας αυτους εις τον οικον αυτου παρεθηκε τραπεζαν, και ευφρανθη πανοικι πιστευσας εις το Θεον.
35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
35[] Αφου δε εγεινεν ημερα, εστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τους ραβδουχους, λεγοντες· Απολυσον τους ανθρωπους εκεινους.
36And 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.
36Και ο δεσμοφυλαξ απηγγειλε τους λογους τουτους προς τον Παυλον, λεγων οτι οι στρατηγοι εστειλαν δια να απολυθητε· τωρα λοιπον εξελθετε και υπαγετε εν ειρηνη.
37But 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.
37Αλλ' 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.
38And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
38Ανηγγειλαν δε προς τους στρατηγους οι ραβδουχοι τους λογους τουτους· και εφοβηθησαν ακουσαντες οτι ειναι Ρωμαιοι,
39And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
39και ελθοντες παρεκαλεσαν αυτους, και αφου εξεβαλον, παρεκαλουν αυτους να εξελθωσιν εκ της πολεως.
40And 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.
40Οι δε εξελθοντες εκ της φυλακης, υπηγον εις τον οικον της Λυδιας, και ιδοντες τους αδελφους, παρηγορησαν αυτους και ανεχωρησαν.
