Atti degli Apostoli - Acts 16

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Κατηντησε δε εις Δερβην και Λυστραν. Και ιδου, ητο εκει μαθητης τις ονοματι Τιμοθεος, υιος γυναικος τινος Ιουδαιας πιστης, πατρος δε Ελληνος,	1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.
2 οστις ειχε καλην μαρτυριαν υπο των εν Λυστροις και Ικονιω αδελφων.	2 To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony.
3 Τουτον 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.	3 Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
4 Ως δε διηρχοντο τας πολεις, παρεδιδον εις αυτους διαταγας να φυλαττωσι τα δογματα τα εγκεκριμενα υπο των αποστολων και των πρεσβυτερων των εν Ιερουσαλημ.	4 And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.
5 Αι μεν λοιπον εκκλησιαι εστερεουντο εις την πιστιν και ηυξανοντο τον αριθμον καθ' ημεραν.	5 And the churches were confirmed in 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,	6 And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
7 ηλθον κατα την Μυσιαν και εδοκιμαζον να υπαγωσι προς την Βιθυνιαν? πλην δεν αφηκεν αυτους το Πνευμα.	7 And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
8 Περασαντες δε την Μυσιαν κατεβησαν εις Τρωαδα.	8 And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
9 Και οραμα εφανη δια νυκτος εις τον Παυλον. Ανηρ τις Μακεδων ιστατο, παρακαλων αυτον και λεγων? Διαβα εις Μακεδονιαν και βοηθησον ημας.	9 And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 Και ως ειδε το οραμα, ευθυς εζητησαμεν να υπαγωμεν εις την Μακεδονιαν, συμπεραινοντες οτι ο Κυριος προσκαλει ημας, δια να κηρυξωμεν το ευαγγελιον προς αυτους.	10 And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Αποπλευσαντες λοιπον απο της Τρωαδος, επερασαμεν κατ' ευθειαν εις Σαμοθρακην και την ακολουθον ημεραν εις Νεαπολιν	11 And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 και εκειθεν εις Φιλιππους, ητις ειναι πρωτη πολις του μερους εκεινου της Μακεδονιας, αποικια Ρωμαικη. Και διετριβομεν εν τη πολει ταυτη ημερας τινας?	12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together.
13 και τη ημερα του σαββατου εξηλθομεν εξω της πολεως πλησιον του ποταμου, οπου εσυνειθιζετο να γινηται προσευχη, και καθησαντες ελαλουμεν προς τας εκει συνελθουσας γυναικας.	13 And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.
14 Και 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.	14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.
15 Αφου 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.	15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16 Ενω δε επορευομεθα εις την προσευχην, απηντησεν ημας δουλη τις εχουσα πνευμα πυθωνος, ητις εδιδε πολυ κερδος εις τους κυριους αυτης μαντευομενη.	16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.
17 Αυτη ακολουθησασα τον Παυλον και ημας εκραζε, λεγουσα? Ουτοι οι ανθρωποι ειναι δουλοι του Θεου του Υψιστου, οιτινες κηρυττουσι προς ημας οδον σωτηριας.	17 This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.
18 Τουτο 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.	18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.
19 Ιδοντες δε οι κυριοι αυτης οτι εξηλθεν η ελπις του κερδους αυτων, πιασαντες τον Παυλον και τον Σιλαν, εσυραν εις την αγοραν προς τους αρχοντας,	19 But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.
20 και φεροντες αυτους προς τους στρατηγους, ειπον? Ουτοι οι ανθρωποι εκταραττουσι την πολιν ημων, Ιουδαιοι οντες,	20 And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;
21 και διδασκουσιν εθιμα, τα οποια δεν ειναι εις ημας συγκεχωρημενον να παραδεχωμεθα μηδε να πραττωμεν, Ρωμαιοι οντες.	21 And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.
22 Και συνεφωρμησεν ο οχλος κατ' αυτων. Και οι στρατηγοι διασχισαντες αυτων τα ιματια, προσεταττον να ραβδιζωσιν αυτους,	22 And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23 και αφου εδωκαν εις αυτους πολλους ραβδισμους, εβαλον εις φυλακην, παραγγειλαντες τον δεσμοφυλακα να φυλαττη αυτους ασφαλως?	23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.
24 οστις λαβων τοιαυτην παραγγελιαν, εβαλεν αυτους εις την εσωτεραν φυλακην και συνεκλεισε τους ποδας αυτων εις το ξυλον.	24 Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Κατα δε το μεσονυκτιον ο Παυλος και ο Σιλας προσευχομενοι υμνουν τον Θεον? και ηκροαζοντο αυτους οι δεσμιοι.	25 And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.
26 Και εξαιφνης εγεινε σεισμος μεγας, ωστε εσαλευθησαν τα θεμελια του δεσμωτηριου, και παρευθυς ηνοιχθησαν πασαι αι θυραι και ελυθησαν παντων τα δεσμα.	26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
27 Εξυπνησας δε ο δεσμοφυλαξ και ιδων ανεωγμενας τας θυρας της φυλακης, εσυρε μαχαιραν και εμελλε να θανατωση εαυτον, νομιζων οτι εφυγον οι δεσμιοι.	27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
28 Πλην ο Παυλος εκραξε μετα φωνης μεγαλης, λεγων? Μη πραξης μηδεν κακον εις σεαυτον? διοτι παντες ειμεθα εδω.	28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.
29 Ζητησας δε φωτα εισεπηδησε, και εντρομος γενομενος επεσεν εμπροσθεν του Παυλου και του Σιλα,	29 Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
30 και εκβαλων αυτους εξω, ειπε? Κυριοι, τι πρεπει να καμω δια να σωθω;	30 And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
31 Οι δε ειπον? Πιστευσον εις τον Κυριον Ιησουν Χριστον, και θελεις σωθη, συ και ο οικος σου.	31 But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 Και ελαλησαν προς αυτον τον λογον του Κυριου και προς παντας τους εν τη οικια αυτου.	32 And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
33 Και παραλαβων αυτους εν εκεινη τη ωρα της νυκτος, ελουσε τας πληγας αυτων και εβαπτισθη ευθυς αυτος και παντες οι αυτου,	33 And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
34 και αναβιβασας αυτους εις τον οικον αυτου παρεθηκε τραπεζαν, και ευφρανθη πανοικι πιστευσας εις το Θεον.	34 And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
35 Αφου δε εγεινεν ημερα, εστειλαν οι στρατηγοι τους ραβδουχους, λεγοντες? Απολυσον τους ανθρωπους εκεινους.	35 And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 Και ο δεσμοφυλαξ απηγγειλε τους λογους τουτους προς τον Παυλον, λεγων οτι οι στρατηγοι εστειλαν δια να απολυθητε? τωρα λοιπον εξελθετε και υπαγετε εν ειρηνη.	36 And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart, and go in peace.
37 Αλλ' 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.	37 But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now do they thrust us out privately? Not so; but let them come,
38 Ανηγγειλαν δε προς τους στρατηγους οι ραβδουχοι τους λογους τουτους? και εφοβηθησαν ακουσαντες οτι ειναι Ρωμαιοι,	38 And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.
39 και ελθοντες παρεκαλεσαν αυτους, και αφου εξεβαλον, παρεκαλουν αυτους να εξελθωσιν εκ της πολεως.	39 And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.
40 Οι δε εξελθοντες εκ της φυλακης, υπηγον εις τον οικον της Λυδιας, και ιδοντες τους αδελφους, παρηγορησαν αυτους και ανεχωρησαν.	40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
