Acts

16

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.
1Laj Pablo quicuulac sa' eb li tenamit Derbe ut Listra. Ut aran quixtau jun aj pâbanel aj Timoteo xc'aba'. Lix na', a'an jun aj pâbanel aj judío ut lix yucua', a'an aj griego. Mâcua' aj judío.
2The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
2Châbil neque'xye chirix laj Timoteo eb laj pâbanel li cuanqueb Listra ut Iconio.
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.
3Laj Pablo quiraj xc'ambal laj Timoteo chirix. Jo'can nak quixbânu li circuncisión re. Inc'a' quiraj nak te'ch'inânk xch'ôleb laj judío li cuanqueb sa' eb li na'ajej aran xban nak chixjunileb que'xnau nak lix yucua' laj Timoteo mâcua' aj judío.
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.
4Ut nak yôqueb chi numec' sa' li junjûnk chi tenamit, yôqueb chixyebal reheb laj pâbanel nak tento te'xbânu li c'a'ru que'xc'ûb ru eb li apóstol jo'queb ajcui' laj c'amol be li cuanqueb aran Jerusalén.
5So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
5Jo'ca'in nak yôqueb chi q'uîc laj pâbanel sa' xpâbâleb. Ut rajlal cutan yôqueb chi tâmc.
6When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
6Li Santil Musik'ej quixc'ut chiruheb nak inc'a' te'xic chixch'olobanquil resil li colba-ib sa' li na'ajej Asia. Jo'can nak que'côeb Frigia ut que'nume' ajcui' sa' li na'ajej Galacia.
7When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
7Nak que'cuulac Misia, que'raj raj xic Bitinia. Abanan li Santil Musik'ej inc'a' quixcanabeb re te'xic aran.
8Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
8Jo'can nak yal que'nume' Misia ut côeb Troas.
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.”
9Nak cuanqueb aran sa' jun li k'ojyîn quic'ute' jun li visión chiru laj Pablo. Jun li cuînk aj Macedonia xakxo chiru nak quiril. Yô chixtz'âmanquil chiru ut quixye re: -Châlkat sa' katenamit Macedonia ut choâtenk'a, chu'ux re nak quiril.
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.
10Ut nak ac xc'ute' li visión chiru laj Pablo, sa' junpât quikacauresi kib lâo chi xic Macedonia. Kanau chi tz'akal nak li Dios yô chi taklânc ke aran chixyebal resil li colba-ib reheb li cuanqueb aran.
11Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
11Co-el aran Troas ut tîc côo chiru ha' toj Samotracia. Ut cuulajak chic cocuulac Neápolis.
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.
12Chirix a'an côo Macedonia sa' li nimla tenamit Filipos. Li tenamit a'an cuan xcuênt Roma. Cocuan cuib oxib cutan sa' li tenamit a'an.
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.
13Ut sa' li hilobâl cutan côo chire li tenamit cuan cui' jun li nima' sa' li na'ajej li neque'tijoc cui' eb laj judío. Coc'ojla ut co-oc chixyebal resil li colba-ib reheb li ixk li que'ch'utla aran.
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.
14Jun reheb li ixk a'an xLidia xc'aba'. Tiatira xtenamit. A'an nac'ayin châbil t'icr. Naxpâb li Dios ut yô chi abînc xban nak li Dios quixc'ut chiru nak tixq'ue retal li yô chixyebal laj Pablo.
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.
15Quixc'ul li cubi ha' rochbeneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' rochoch, ut quixye ke: -Cui nequepâb nak lâin xinpâb li Kâcua' chi anchal inch'ôl, naru nequexcana chi hilânc sa' li cuochoch, chan ke. Ut quirelaji ku chi canâc.
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.
16Sa' jun li cutan yôco chi xic chi tijoc nak kac'ul jun li xka'al aj k'e. Cuan mâus aj musik'ej riq'uin. A'an jun môs ut naxsic' nabal xtumin lix patrón riq'uin k'ehînc.
17Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
17Li xka'al a'an yô chikatâkenquil. Japjo re chixyebal: -Eb li cuînk a'in a'an xmôseb li nimajcual Dios. Yôqueb chixch'olobanquil chiku chanru nak târûk tocolek', chan.
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.
18Nabal cutan quixbânu chi jo'can. Nak ac xtitz' chirabinquil, laj Pablo quixxakab rib, ut quiril li xka'al, ut quixye re li mâus aj musik'ej: -Sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo, tinye âcue: Elen riq'uin li xka'al a'in, chan. Ut sa' ajcui' li hônal a'an, li mâus aj musik'ej qui-el riq'uin.
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.
19Nak que'xq'ue retal lix patrón li xka'al nak inc'a' chic târûk tixsic' xtumineb, que'xchap laj Pablo ut laj Silas ut que'xc'am sa' pôpol chiruheb laj rakol âtin.
20When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
20Nak que'xxakab chiru laj rakol âtin, que'xye: -Eb li cuînk a'in, a'aneb aj judío ut yôqueb chikach'i'ch'i'inquil sa' li katenamit.
21and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
21Yôqueb chixc'utbal jalan na'leb sa' li katenamit. Lâo inc'a' naru nakac'ul chi moco naru takabânu li neque'xye xban nak lâo aj Roma, chanqueb.
22The multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22Ut que'xtûb rib li tenamit chixjitbaleb. Eb laj rakol âtin que'xk'ichi li rak'eb laj Pablo ut laj Silas ut que'xtakla xsac'baleb riq'uin che'.
23When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
23Nak ac xe'tacuasîc chi us, que'q'uehe' sa' tz'alam. Ut eb laj rakol âtin que'xye reheb laj ilol tz'alam nak te'ril chi us laj Pablo ut laj Silas re nak inc'a' te'êlelik.
24who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
24Ut nak quiyehe' chi jo'can, que'c'ame' ut que'q'uehe' sa' tz'alam sa' jun li na'ajej li cuan toj chi sa' ut que'nat'e' li rok sa' che'.
25But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
25Tuktu chic k'ojyîn nak laj Pablo ut laj Silas yôqueb chi tijoc ut yôqueb chi bichânc re xlok'oninquil li Dios. Ut eb li cuanqueb chi prêxil yôqueb chi abînc.
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.
26Mâc'a' sa' xch'ôleb nak quichal jun nimla hîc. Qui-ec'asîc chi cau li tz'alam, ut quilaje'teli lix puertil. Ut quilaje'hite' li cadena li bac'bôqueb cui' li prêx.
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.
27Ut nak qui-aj ru laj ilol tz'alam, quiril nak teto lix puertil li tz'alam. Quixchap lix ch'îch' ut oc raj re chixcamsinquil rib. Sa' xch'ôl a'an nak xe'êlelic chixjunileb li prêx.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
28Ut laj Pablo quixjap re chi cau ut quixye: -Mâcamsi âcuib. Chikajunilo cuanco arin, chan.
29He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
29Ut laj ilol tz'alam quixpatz' lix xam ut qui-oc chi sa' li tz'alam chirilbal. Nasicsot xban xxiu nak quixcut rib chi rokeb laj Pablo ut laj Silas.
30and brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
30Laj ilol tz'alam quirisiheb xjuneseb laj Pablo ut laj Silas ut quixye reheb: -¿C'a'ru us tinbânu re nak tincolek'?
31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
31Eb a'an que'xye: -Pâb li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Tatcolek' lâat jo'queb ajcui' li cuanqueb sa' lâ cuochoch, chan laj Pablo.
32They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
32Ut quixch'olob xyâlal li râtin li Kâcua' chiru a'an jo' ajcui' chiruheb li jo' q'uial li cuanqueb sa' li rochoch.
33He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
33Ut sa' ajcui' li hônal a'an laj ilol tz'alam quirisiheb sa' tz'alam laj Pablo ut laj Silas. Quixch'aj ru lix toch'oleb xban nak que'saq'ue'. Ut ticto quicubsîc xha' laj ilol tz'alam rochbeneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb sa' li rochoch.
34He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
34Quixc'ameb laj Pablo ut laj Silas sa' rochoch ut quixq'ueheb xtzacaêmk. C'ajo' nak quisaho' sa' xch'ôl nak quixpâb li Dios rochbeneb li cuanqueb sa' rochoch.
35But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
35Nak quisakêu, eb laj rakol âtin que'xtakla xyebal re laj ilol tz'alam nak tixcanabeb chi xic eb li cuînk a'an.
36The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace.”
36Laj ilol tz'alam quixye reheb: -Eb laj rakol âtin xe'xtakla chak xyebal nak tex-ach'abâk. Jo'can nak ayukex chi mâc'a' êc'a'ux, chan.
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!”
37Laj Pablo quixye reheb: -Inc'a'. Xosaq'ue' chiruheb li tenamit chi mâji' que'xrak âtin sa' kabên. Xoe'xq'ue sa' tz'alam usta lâo aj Roma. Ut anakcuan, te'raj toe'risi chi mukmu. Inc'a' naru chi jo'can. Châlkeb ban a'an ut choe'risihak, chan.
38The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
38Ut eb li takl que'côeb chixyebal re laj rakol âtin li c'a'ru quixye laj Pablo. C'ajo' nak que'xucuac nak que'rabi nak laj Pablo ut laj Silas, a'aneb aj Roma.
39and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
39Nak que'cuulac, que'xk'unbesiheb ut que'xtz'âma chiruheb nak te'êlk sa' li tenamit.Nak que'el sa' tz'alam laj Pablo ut laj Silas, coxe'ocak sa' rochoch lix Lidia. Nak ac xe'ril ruheb laj pâbanel, que'xq'ue xcacuilal xch'ôleb ut que'côeb.
40They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
40Nak que'el sa' tz'alam laj Pablo ut laj Silas, coxe'ocak sa' rochoch lix Lidia. Nak ac xe'ril ruheb laj pâbanel, que'xq'ue xcacuilal xch'ôleb ut que'côeb.
