¹And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but [the] father a Greek,

¹ܘܡܛܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܕܪܒܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܠܠܘܤܛܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܒܪܗ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܐ ܘܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܀

²who had a [good] testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.

²ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܤܛܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܩܢܘܢ ܡܤܗܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

³Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took [him and] circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.

³ܠܗܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܢܕܒܪܝܘܗܝ ܥܡܗ ܘܢܤܒ ܓܙܪܗ ܡܛܠ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܐܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܀

⁴And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.

⁴ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܠܦܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܢܛܪܝܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܒܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

⁵The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day.

⁵ܒܪܡ ܥܕܬܐ ܡܬܩܝܡܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܤܓܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܀

⁶And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

⁶ܗܠܟܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܦܪܘܓܝܐ ܘܒܓܠܛܝܐ ܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܘܟܠܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܐܤܝܐ ܀

⁷having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;

⁷ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܡܘܤܝܐ ܐܬܪܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܒܝܬܘܢܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܦܤܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁸and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas.

⁸ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܡܘܤܝܐ ܢܚܬܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܛܪܘܐܤ ܐܬܪܐ ܀

⁹And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us.

⁹ܘܒܚܙܘܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܘܒܥܐ ܡܢܗ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܕܬܐ ܠܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܥܕܪܝܢܝ ܀

¹⁰And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.

¹⁰ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܗܢܐ ܚܙܘܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܦܩ ܠܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܤܬܟܠܢ ܕܡܪܢ ܩܪܢ ܕܢܤܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

¹¹Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis,

¹¹ܘܪܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܪܘܐܤ ܘܬܪܨܢ ܠܤܡܬܪܩܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܢܐܦܘܠܝܤ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܀

¹²and thence to Philippi, which is [the] first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days.

¹²ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܕܗܝ ܗܝ ܪܫܐ ܕܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܩܘܠܘܢܝܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܗ ܒܗܕܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܀

¹³And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.

¹³ܘܢܦܩܢ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܢܗܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܬܡܢ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܝܬܒܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܥܡ ܢܫܐ ܕܟܢܝܫܢ ܗܘܝ ܬܡܢ ܀

¹⁴And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.

¹⁴ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܙܒܢܬ ܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܕܕܚܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܬܐܘܛܝܪܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܗܕܐ ܦܬܚ ܠܒܗ ܡܪܢ ܘܫܡܥܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܀

¹⁵And when she had been baptised and her house, 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.

¹⁵ܘܥܡܕܬ ܗܘܬ ܗܝ ܘܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܘܒܥܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܢ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܬܟܝܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܗܝܡܢܬ ܒܡܪܢ ܬܘ ܫܪܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܒܝܬܝ ܘܤܓܝ ܐܠܨܬܢ ܀

¹⁶And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.

¹⁶ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܦܓܥܬ ܒܢ ܥܠܝܡܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܨܡܐ ܘܥܒܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܪܝܗ ܬܐܓܘܪܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܒܩܨܡܐ ܕܩܨܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܀

¹⁷She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.

¹⁷ܘܐܬܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܬܪ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܒܬܪܢ ܘܩܥܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܪܝܡܐ ܘܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܀

¹⁸And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.

¹⁸ܘܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܐܬܬܦܝܪ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܪܘܚܐ ܗܝ ܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܬܦܩܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܢܦܩܬ ܀

¹⁹And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;

¹⁹ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܪܝܗ ܕܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܡܢܗ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܬܐܓܘܪܬܗܘܢ ܐܚܕܘܗܝ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܠܫܝܠܐ ܘܢܓܕܘ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܫܘܩܐ ܀

²⁰and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,

²⁰ܘܩܪܒܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܤܛܪܛܓܐ ܘܠܪܫܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܕܠܚܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

²¹and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.

²¹ܘܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܠܢ ܥܝܕܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܦܤ ܠܢ ܠܡܩܒܠܘ ܘܠܡܥܒܕ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܚܢܢ ܀

²²And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].

²²ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܤܛܪܛܓܐ ܤܕܩܘ ܢܚܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܦܩܕܘ ܕܢܢܓܕܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

²³And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;

²³ܘܟܕ ܢܓܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܤܓܝ ܐܪܡܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܦܩܕܘ ܠܢܛܪ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܕܢܛܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܙܗܝܪܐܝܬ ܀

²⁴who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.

²⁴ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܩܒܠ ܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܥܠ ܚܒܫ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܓܘܝܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܐܤܪ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܤܕܐ ܀

²⁵And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.

²⁵ܘܒܦܠܓܗ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܫܝܠܐ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܀

²⁶And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.

²⁶ܘܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܙܘܥܐ ܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܬܬܙܝܥ ܫܬܐܤܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܐܬܦܬܚܘ ܡܚܕܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܤܘܪܝܗܘܢ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܫܬܪܝܘ ܀

²⁷And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.

²⁷ܘܟܕ ܐܬܬܥܝܪ ܢܛܪ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܕܦܬܝܚܝܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܢܤܒ ܤܦܤܪܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܕܢܩܛܘܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܥܪܩܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܀

²⁸But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.

²⁸ܘܩܪܝܗܝ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܠܢܦܫܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܒܝܫ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܢ ܗܪܟܐ ܚܢܢ ܀

²⁹And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.

²⁹ܘܐܢܗܪ ܠܗ ܫܪܓܐ ܘܫܘܪ ܘܥܠ ܟܕ ܪܐܬ ܘܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܕܫܝܠܐ ܀

³⁰And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?

³⁰ܘܐܦܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܒܪ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܝ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܚܐ ܀

³¹And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

³¹ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܗܝܡܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܬܚܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܒܝܬܟ ܀

³²And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.

³²ܘܡܠܠܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܀

³³And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.

³³ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܒܗ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܕܒܪ ܐܤܚܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܢܓܕܗܘܢ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܥܡܕ ܗܘ ܘܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܀

³⁴And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.

³⁴ܘܕܒܪ ܐܤܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܤܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܘܪܘܙ ܗܘܐ ܗܘ ܘܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

³⁵And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.

³⁵ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܫܕܪܘ ܐܤܛܪܛܓܐ ܠܫܩܠܝ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܪܒ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܀

³⁶And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace.

³⁶ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܪܒ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܥܠ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܫܕܪܘ ܐܤܛܪܛܓܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܬܫܬܪܘܢ ܘܗܫܐ ܦܘܩܘ ܙܠܘ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܀

³⁷But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out.

³⁷ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܠܐ ܤܟܠܘ ܢܓܕܘܢ ܠܥܝܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܡܛܫܝܐܝܬ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܠܢ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܠܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܢܦܩܘܢܢ ܀

³⁸And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans.

³⁸ܘܐܙܠܘ ܫܩܠܝ ܫܒܛܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܐܤܛܪܛܓܐ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܚܠܘ ܀

³⁹And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city.

³⁹ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܒܥܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ ܘܢܫܢܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܀

⁴⁰And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away.

⁴⁰ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܥܠܘ ܠܘܬ ܠܘܕܝܐ ܘܚܙܘ ܬܡܢ ܠܐܚܐ ܘܒܝܐܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܀
