1[] Κατηντησε δε εις Δερβην και Λυστραν. Και ιδου, ητο εκει μαθητης τις ονοματι Τιμοθεος, υιος γυναικος τινος Ιουδαιας πιστης, πατρος δε Ελληνος,
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.
2οστις ειχε καλην μαρτυριαν υπο των εν Λυστροις και Ικονιω αδελφων.
2The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
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.
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.
4Ως δε διηρχοντο τας πολεις, παρεδιδον εις αυτους διαταγας να φυλαττωσι τα δογματα τα εγκεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων των εν Ιερουσαλημ.
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.
5Αι μεν λοιπον εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο εις την πιστιν και ηυξανοντο τον αριθμον καθ' ημεραν.
5So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6[] Διελθοντες δε την Φρυγιαν και την γην της Γαλατιας, επειδη εμποδισθησαν υπο του Αγιου Πνευματος να κηρυξωσι τον λογον εν τη Ασια,
6When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7ηλθον κατα την Μυσιαν και εδοκιμαζον να υπαγωσι προς την Βιθυνιαν· πλην δεν αφηκεν αυτους το Πνευμα.
7When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
8Περασαντες δε την Μυσιαν κατεβησαν εις Τρωαδα.
8Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9Και οραμα εφανη δια νυκτος εις τον Παυλον. Ανηρ τις Μακεδων ιστατο, παρακαλων αυτον και λεγων· Διαβα εις Μακεδονιαν και βοηθησον ημας.
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.”
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.
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.
11Αποπλευσαντες λοιπον απο της Τρωαδος, επερασαμεν κατ' ευθειαν εις Σαμοθρακην και την ακολουθον ημεραν εις Νεαπολιν
11Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12και εκειθεν εις Φιλιππους, ητις ειναι πρωτη πολις του μερους εκεινου της Μακεδονιας, αποικια Ρωμαικη. Και διετριβομεν εν τη πολει ταυτη ημερας τινας·
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
16[] Ενω δε επορευομεθα εις την προσευχην, απηντησεν ημας δουλη τις εχουσα πνευμα πυθωνος, ητις εδιδε πολυ κερδος εις τους κυριους αυτης μαντευομενη.
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.
17Αυτη ακολουθησασα τον Παυλον και ημας εκραζε, λεγουσα· Ουτοι οι ανθρωποι ειναι δουλοι του Θεου του Υψιστου, οιτινες κηρυττουσι προς ημας οδον σωτηριας.
17Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
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.
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.
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,
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.
20και φεροντες αυτους προς τους στρατηγους, ειπον· Ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταραττουσι την πολιν ημων, Ιουδαιοι οντες,
20When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
21και διδασκουσιν εθιμα, τα οποια δεν ειναι εις ημας συγκεχωρημενον να παραδεχωμεθα μηδε να πραττωμεν, Ρωμαιοι οντες.
21and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
22Και συνεφωρμησεν ο οχλος κατ' αυτων. Και οι στρατηγοι διασχισαντες αυτων τα ιματια, προσεταττον να ραβδιζωσιν αυτους,
22The multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23και αφου εδωκαν εις αυτους πολλους ραβδισμους, εβαλον εις φυλακην, παραγγειλαντες τον δεσμοφυλακα να φυλαττη αυτους ασφαλως·
23When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
24οστις λαβων τοιαυτην παραγγελιαν, εβαλεν αυτους εις την εσωτεραν φυλακην και συνεκλεισε τους ποδας αυτων εις το ξυλον.
24who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25[] Κατα δε το μεσονυκτιον ο Παυλος και ο Σιλας προσευχομενοι υμνουν τον Θεον· και ηκροαζοντο αυτους οι δεσμιοι.
25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26Και εξαιφνης εγεινε σεισμος μεγας, ωστε εσαλευθησαν τα θεμελια του δεσμωτηριου, και παρευθυς ηνοιχθησαν πασαι αι θυραι και ελυθησαν παντων τα δεσμα.
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.
27Εξυπνησας δε ο δεσμοφυλαξ και ιδων ανεωγμενας τας θυρας της φυλακης, εσυρε μαχαιραν και εμελλε να θανατωση εαυτον, νομιζων οτι εφυγον οι δεσμιοι.
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.
28Πλην ο Παυλος εκραξε μετα φωνης μεγαλης, λεγων· Μη πραξης μηδεν κακον εις σεαυτον· διοτι παντες ειμεθα εδω.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
29Ζητησας δε φωτα εισεπηδησε, και εντρομος γενομενος επεσεν εμπροσθεν του Παυλου και του Σιλα,
29He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
30και εκβαλων αυτους εξω, ειπε· Κυριοι, τι πρεπει να καμω δια να σωθω;
30and brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31Οι δε ειπον· Πιστευσον εις τον Κυριον Ιησουν Χριστον, και θελεις σωθη, συ και ο οικος σου.
31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32Και ελαλησαν προς αυτον τον λογον του Κυριου και προς παντας τους εν τη οικια αυτου.
32They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
33Και παραλαβων αυτους εν εκεινη τη ωρα της νυκτος, ελουσε τας πληγας αυτων και εβαπτισθη ευθυς αυτος και παντες οι αυτου,
33He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
34και αναβιβασας αυτους εις τον οικον αυτου παρεθηκε τραπεζαν, και ευφρανθη πανοικι πιστευσας εις το Θεον.
34He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
35[] Αφου δε εγεινεν ημερα, εστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τους ραβδουχους, λεγοντες· Απολυσον τους ανθρωπους εκεινους.
35But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
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.
36The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace.”
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.
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!”
38Ανηγγειλαν δε προς τους στρατηγους οι ραβδουχοι τους λογους τουτους· και εφοβηθησαν ακουσαντες οτι ειναι Ρωμαιοι,
38The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
39και ελθοντες παρεκαλεσαν αυτους, και αφου εξεβαλον, παρεκαλουν αυτους να εξελθωσιν εκ της πολεως.
39and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
40Οι δε εξελθοντες εκ της φυλακης, υπηγον εις τον οικον της Λυδιας, και ιδοντες τους αδελφους, παρηγορησαν αυτους και ανεχωρησαν.
40They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
