¹Paulus saabus Derbesse ja Lüstrasse. Ja vaata, seal oli jünger, uskliku juudi naise poeg, aga kreeka isast, Timoteos nimi,

¹He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.

²kelle kohta Lüstra ja Ikoonioni vennad andsid hea tunnistuse.

²The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.

³Paulus tahtis teda enesega teele kaasa. Ja ta võttis ning lõikas tema ümber kohalike juutide pärast, sest need kõik teadsid, et Timoteose isa oli olnud kreeklane.

³Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

⁴Kui nad siis linnu mööda käisid, andsid nad kogudustele täitmiseks need korraldused, mis apostlid ja vanemad Jeruusalemmas olid otsustanud.

⁴As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

⁵Nõnda siis kinnitati kogudusi usus ja nende arv kasvas päevast päeva.

⁵So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

⁶Ja nemad läksid läbi Früügia- ja Galaatiamaa, sest Püha Vaim oli keelanud neil sõna rääkimast Aasias.

⁶When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

⁷Kui nad jõudsid Müüsiani, püüdsid nad matkata Bitüüniasse, aga Jeesuse Vaim ei lubanud.

⁷When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.

⁸Nii tulid nad Müüsiast möödudes alla Troasesse.

⁸Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

⁹Ja Paulus nägi öösel nägemuse: üks makedoonia mees seisis ja palus teda: 'Tule meie juurde Makedooniasse ja aita meid!'

⁹A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”

¹⁰Kui ta oli seda nägemust näinud, püüdsime kohe minna Makedooniasse, olles veendunud, et Issand on meid kutsunud neile evangeeliumi kuulutama.

¹⁰When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.

¹¹Siis me purjetasime Troasest välja ja tulime otseteed Samotraakesse, järgmisel päeval aga Neapolisse

¹¹Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

¹²ja sealt Filippisse, mis on tähtsaim linn tolles Makedoonia osas, Rooma koloonia. Selles linnas me viibisime mõned päevad.

¹²and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.

¹³Ja hingamispäeval me läksime linnaväravast välja jõe äärde, kus me arvasime olevat palvepaiga. Me istusime maha ja rääkisime kokkutulnud naistega.

¹³On the Sabbath day we went forth outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.

¹⁴Ka üks jumalakartlik naine, Lüüdia nimi, purpurimüüja Tüatiira linnast, kuulas, ning Issand avas tema südame, nii et ta pani tähele, mida Paulus rääkis.

¹⁴A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

¹⁵Aga kui Lüüdia ja ta pere olid ristitud, palus ta meid: 'Tulge minu kotta ja jääge sinna, kui te arvate, et ma olen ustav Issandale!' Ja ta käis meile peale.

¹⁵When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay.” So she persuaded us.

¹⁶Aga sündis, et kui me läksime palvepaika, tuli meile vastu orjatar, kellel oli lausuja vaim, see tõi oma isandatele palju kasu ennustamisega.

¹⁶It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

¹⁷Tema käis Pauluse ja meie kannul ning hüüdis: 'Need inimesed on kõigekõrgema Jumala sulased, kes kuulutavad teile päästmise teed.'

¹⁷Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”

¹⁸Seda tegi ta mitu päeva. Aga Paulus ägestus, pöördus ümber ja ütles vaimule: 'Ma käsin sind Jeesuse Kristuse nimel: mine temast välja!' Ja vaim läks välja samal tunnil.

¹⁸She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.

¹⁹Kui nüüd orjatari isandad nägid, et nende kasulootus on kustunud, haarasid nad Pauluse ja Siilase ning vedasid nad turule ülemate juurde.

¹⁹But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

²⁰Nad viisid nad võimukandjate ette ja ütlesid: 'Need inimesed tekitavad meie linnas segadust. Nad on juudid

²⁰When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,

²¹ja kuulutavad kombeid, mida meie kui roomlased ei tohi omaks võtta ega järgida.'

²¹and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”

²²Ja rahvahulk tõusis nende vastu. Võimukandjad kiskusid rõivad nende seljast ja käskisid neid keppidega peksta.

²²The multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.

²³Ja kui nad olid neile palju hoope andnud, heitsid nad apostlid vangi ja käskisid vangivalvurit neid hoolsalt valvata.

²³When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,

²⁴Niisuguse range käsu saanud, heitis valvur nad sisemisse vangikongi ja pani nende jalad pakku.

²⁴who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.

²⁵Kesköö paiku Paulus ja Siilas palvetasid ja laulsid Jumalat kiites, ning vangid kuulasid neid.

²⁵But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

²⁶Aga äkitselt sündis nii suur maavärisemine, et vangihoone alused vappusid. Ja otsekohe avanesid kõik uksed ja kõikide köidikud pääsesid valla.

²⁶Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.

²⁷Kui nüüd vangivalvur unest ärkas ja nägi vanglaukse lahti olevat, tõmbas ta mõõga ja tahtis end tappa, arvates, et vangid on põgenenud.

²⁷The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

²⁸Paulus hüüdis aga valju häälega: 'Ära tee enesele kurja, sest me kõik oleme siin!'

²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”

²⁹Siis palus valvur tuld, tormas sisse ja heitis värisedes Pauluse ja Siilase ette maha,

²⁹He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

³⁰tõi nad välja ning ütles: 'Isandad, mis ma pean tegema, et pääseda?'

³⁰and brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

³¹Aga nemad ütlesid: 'Usu Issandasse Jeesusesse, siis pääsed sina ja su pere!'

³¹They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

³²Ja nad rääkisid Issanda sõna temale ja kõigile, kes olid tema kojas.

³²They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

³³Ja vangivalvur võttis nad tollel öötunnil enda juurde ja pesi nende haavad. Ning otsekohe ristiti tema ja kõik ta omaksed.

³³He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.

³⁴Siis ta viis nad oma kotta, kattis neile laua ja oli ülirõõmus, et ta kogu perega oli hakanud uskuma Jumalasse.

³⁴He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.

³⁵Kui valgeks läks, läkitasid võimukandjad kohtuteenrid ütlema: 'Lase need inimesed vabaks!'

³⁵But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”

³⁶Vangivalvur teatas need sõnad Paulusele: 'Võimukandjad on saatnud sõna, et teid vabaks lastaks. Tulge siis nüüd välja ja minge rahuga!'

³⁶The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace.”

³⁷Paulus aga vastas neile: 'Nad on meid avalikult peksnud ilma kohut mõistmata, ent meie oleme Rooma kodanikud; nad on meid vangi heitnud ja tahavad nüüd meid salaja välja ajada?! Nii see ikka ei lähe! Tulgu nad ise ja viigu meid välja!'

³⁷But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”

³⁸Kohtuteenrid andsid need sõnad võimukandjaile edasi. Kui nood kuulsid, et apostlid on Rooma kodanikud, lõid nad kartma

³⁸The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

³⁹ning tulid ja palusid neilt vabandust, tõid nad välja ja palusid linnast lahkuda.

³⁹and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.

⁴⁰Siis tulid apostlid vanglast välja ja läksid Lüüdia poole. Ja kui nad vendi olid näinud ja julgustanud, läksid nad minema.

⁴⁰They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
