1Katantata de ⸀kai eis Derban kai ⸀eis Lustran. kai idou mathētos tinos ate ekei onome Timotheos, huios ⸀gunaikau Ioudaiau pistau, patrou de Hellēnou,Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father. 2hos marturote hupo toiu en Lustrei kai Ikonie adelfoiu;The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him. 3houton thelata tos Paulos sun auto exerchara, kai labarantos peritemata auton dia toin Ioudaioin toin arōntoin en toi topoi ekeinoi, oidalelē gar hapantois ⸂hoti Hellēnos tos patros autou⸃ huparchate.Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4hōs de diaporeuole tain polain, ⸀paradōale autoi fulassarō teim dogmeim teim krinorēnteim hupo toiu apostoloiu ⸀kai presbuteroiu toiu en ⸀Hierosolumei.As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey. 5tais men oun ekklēsais stereoole ta pistia kai perisseuale to arithmo kata hēmeran.So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers. 6⸀Dierchala de tan Frugian ⸀kai Galatikan chōran, kōluirantois hupo teu hagieu pneumeu lalara ton logon en ta Asia,After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia. 7ercharantois ⸀de kata tan Musian peirazale ⸀eis tan Bithunian ⸀poreuira kai ouk easata autoin tem pneumem ⸀Iēsu;And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them. 8parercharantois de tan Musian katabainala eis Trōadan.So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. 9kai horamem ⸀dia nuktau ⸂to Paulo horita,⸃ andros ⸂Makedonos tinos ate⸃ stēarēntos ⸀kai parakalarōntos auton kai legarōntos; Diabainarantos eis Makedonian boēthasar ni.During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10hōs de tem horamem horata, eutheōs zētana exerchara ⸀eis Makedonian, sumbibazarōntois hoti proskalotē nin tos ⸀theos euangelizera autoin.As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. 11Anagirantois ⸀oun ⸀apo Trōadau euthudromana eis Samothrakan, ta ⸀de epeiarōnta eis ⸂Nean Polisan,⸃We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis. 12⸀kakeithen eis Filippoin, hotinas atō ⸂prōtas tau meridau⸃ Makedoniau polas, kolōnias. ane de en ⸀houta ta pola diatribarōntois hēmerain tinain.From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days. 13ta tē hēmera teiu sabbateiu exerchana exō tau ⸀pulau para potamon hou ⸂nomizane proseuchan⸃ arō, kai kathizarantois lalane tai sunercharantai gunaikai.On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there. 14kai tinas gunaikas onome Ludias, porfuropōlias polau Thuateireiu seborōntas ton theon, akouate, hau tos kurios dianoigata tan kardian prosecharō tei lalorōntei hupo ⸀tou Paulou.Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. 15hōs de baptizita kai tos oikos autau, parakalata legarōntas; Ei krinavē min pistan to kurio arō, eisercharantois eis ton oikon mu ⸀menavōr; kai parabiazeta nin.And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us. 16Geneta de poreuorōntoiu nu eis ⸀tan proseuchan paidiskan tinan echarōntan pneumem ⸀puthōnon ⸀hupantara ni, hotinas ergasian pollan parechate toi kurioi autau manteuorōntas;One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling. 17houtas ⸀katakoloutharōntas to Paulo kai ni krazate legarōntas; Houtois tois anthrōpois doulois tou theou tou hupsistou alō, hotinois katangelalō ⸀vi hodan sōtērēau.This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!” 18houtem de poiate epi pollain hēmerain. diaponirantos ⸀de Paulos kai epistrefarantos te pneume legata; Parangelamō si ⸀en onome Iēsu Christou exerchara apo autau; kai exerchata auta ta hōra.She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment. 19Horarantois de tois kuriois autau hoti exerchata tas elpidas tau ergasiau autoiu epilaberantois ton Paulon kai ton Silon helkala eis tan agoran epi toin archontoin,When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace. 20kai prosagarantois autoin toi stratēgoi legala; Houtois tois anthrōpois ektarassalō nu tan polan Ioudaiois huparcharōntois,They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil 21kai katangelalō etheim heim ouk exestinatō ni paradechorō oude poiarō Rōmaioi arōntoi.by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.” 22kai sunepistēata tos ochlos kata autoiu, kai tois stratēgois perirēgarantois autoiu teim himatieim keleuale rabdizarō,The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods. 23pollain ⸀tē epititharantois autoi plēgain balala eis fulakan, parangelarantois to desmofulaxo asfalōs tērarō autoin;And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely. 24hos parangelian toioutan ⸀labarantos balata autoin eis tan esōteran fulakan kai toin podoin ⸂asfalizeta autoiu⸃ eis tem xulem.On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks. 25Kata de tem mesonuktiem Paulos kai Silos proseuchorōntois humnale ton theon, epakroole de autoiu tois desmiois;About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26afnōs de seismos geneta megos hōste saleuira teim themelieim teu desmōtērieu, anoigila ⸀de parachrēma tais thurais pantais, kai pantoiu teim desmeim aniēkita.Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose. 27exupnos de generantos tos desmofulaxos kai horarantos anoigorēntain tain thurain tau fulakau sperantos ⸀tan machairan mellate heauton anairarō, nomizarōntos ekfeugarē toin desmioin.When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped. 28fōnata de ⸂fōna mega tos Paulos⸃ legarōntos; Mēdenem prassaseia siauto kakosem, hapantois gar anō enthade.But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!” 29aitarantos de fōteim eispēdata kai entromos generantos prospiptata to Paulo kai ⸀to Silo,Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30kai proagarantos autoin exō fēate; Kurioir, tinem min datō poiarō hina sōzimeia?Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31tois de legala; Pisteuasar epi ton kurion ⸀Iēsun, kai sōzisi sis kai tos oikos su.They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32kai lalala auto ton logon tou ⸀kuriou ⸀sun pantoi toi en ta oikia autou.Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house. 33kai paralabarantos autoin en ekeina ta hōra tau nuktau louata apo taiu plēgaiu, kai baptizita autos kai tois autou ⸀pantois parachrēma,At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized. 34anagarantos tē autoin eis ton ⸀oikon paratithata trapezan kai ⸀agallieta panoikei pisteuarēntos to theo.Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God. 35Hēmerau de generantau apostelala tois stratēgois toin rabdouchoin legarōntois; Apoluasar toin anthrōpoin ekeinoin.When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.” 36apangelata de tos desmofulaxos toin logoin ⸀houtoin pros ton Paulon, hoti Apostelalē tois stratēgois hina apoluiveia; nun oun exercharantois poreuovōr en eirēna.The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.” 37tos de Paulos fēate pros autoin; Derarantois nin dēmosia akatakritoin, anthrōpoin Rōmaioin huparcharōntoin, balala eis fulakan; kai nun lathra nin ekbalalō? ouk gar, alla ercharantois autois ⸀nin exagalar.But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!” 38⸀apangelala de toi stratēgoi tois rabdouchois teim rēmeim houteim; ⸂fobila de⸃ akouarantois hoti Rōmaiois alō,So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens. 39kai ercharantois parakalala autoin, kai exagarantois erōtale ⸂aperchara apo⸃ tau polau.They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city. 40exercharantois de ⸀apo tau fulakau eiserchala pros tan Ludian, kai horarantois ⸂parakalala toin adelfoin⸃ kai exerchala.After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
