Acts of the Apostles 16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.	1 Pervenit autem in Derben et Lystram. Et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibinomine Timotheus, filius mulieris Iudaeae fidelis, patre autem Graeco;
2 He was well spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium.	2 huictestimonium reddebant, qui in Lystris erant et Iconii fratres.
3 Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek	3 Hunc voluitPaulus secum proficisci et assumens circumcidit eum propter Iudaeos, qui erantin illis locis; sciebant enim omnes quod pater eius Graecus esset.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.	4 Cum autempertransirent civitates, tradebant eis custodire dogmata, quae erant decreta abapostolis et presbyteris, qui essent Hierosolymis.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.	5 Ecclesiae quidemconfirmabantur fide et abundabant numero cotidie.
6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.	6 Transierunt autem Phrygiam et Galatiae regionem, vetati a Sancto Spiritu loquiverbum in Asia;
7 And when they had come opposite Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;	7 cum venissent autem circa Mysiam, tentabant ire Bithyniam, etnon permisit eos Spiritus Iesu;
8 so, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.	8 cum autem praeterissent Mysiam, descenderuntTroadem.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing beseeching him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."	9 Et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est: vir Macedo quidam erat stanset deprecans eum et dicens: “ Transiens in Macedoniam, adiuva nos! ”.
10 And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.	10 Utautem visum vidit, statim quaesivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quiavocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Ne-apolis,	11 Navigantes autem a Troade recto cursu venimus Samothraciam et sequenti dieNeapolim
12 and from there to Philippi, which is the leading city of the district of Macedonia, and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days;	12 et inde Philippos, quae est prima partis Macedoniae civitas,colonia. Eramus autem in hac urbe diebus aliquot commorantes.
13 and on the sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.	13 Die autemsabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam iuxta flumen, ubi putabamus orationemesse, et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus, quae convenerant.
14 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to give heed to what was said by Paul.	14 Et quaedam muliernomine Lydia, purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum colens Deum, audiebat, cuiusDominus aperuit cor intendere his, quae dicebantur a Paulo.
15 And when she was baptized, with her household, she besought us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.	15 Cum autembaptizata esset et domus eius, deprecata est dicens: “ Si iudicastis mefidelem Domino esse, introite in domum meam et manete ”; et coegit nos.
16 As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by soothsaying.	16 Factum est autem, euntibus nobis ad orationem, puellam quandam habentemspiritum pythonem obviare nobis, quae quaestum magnum praestabat dominis suisdivinando.
17 She followed Paul and us, crying, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."	17 Haec subsecuta Paulum et nos clamabat dicens: “ Isti hominesservi Dei Altissimi sunt, qui annuntiant vobis viam salutis ”.
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul was annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I charge you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.	18 Hoc autemfaciebat multis diebus. Dolens autem Paulus et conversus spiritui dixit: “Praecipio tibi in nomine Iesu Christi exire ab ea ”; et exiit eadem hora.
19 But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the rulers;	19 Videntes autem domini eius quia exivit spes quaestus eorum, apprehendentesPaulum et Silam traxerunt in forum ad principes;
20 and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said, "These men are Jews and they are disturbing our city.	20 et producentes eosmagistratibus dixerunt: “ Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sintIudaei,
21 They advocate customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to accept or practice."	21 et annuntiant mores, quos non licet nobis suscipere neque facere, cumsimus Romani ”.
22 The crowd joined in attacking them; and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.	22 Et concurrit plebs adversus eos; et magistratus, scissistunicis eorum, iusserunt virgis caedi
23 And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.	23 et, cum multas plagas eis imposuissent,miserunt eos in carcerem, praecipientes custodi, ut caute custodiret eos;
24 Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.	24 quicum tale praeceptum accepisset, misit eos in interiorem carcerem et pedes eorumstrinxit in ligno.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,	25 Media autem nocte, Paulus et Silas orantes laudabant Deum, et audiebant eos,qui in custodia erant;
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 every one's fetters were unfastened.	26 subito vero terraemotus factus est magnus, ita utmoverentur fundamenta carceris, et aperta sunt statim ostia omnia, etuniversorum vincula soluta sunt.
27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.	27 Expergefactus autem custos carceris etvidens apertas ianuas carceris, evaginato gladio volebat se interficere,aestimans fugisse vinctos.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."	28 Clamavit autem Paulus magna voce dicens: “ Nihilfeceris tibi mali; universi enim hic sumus ”.
29 And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas,	29 Petitoque lumine, introcucurrit et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silae;
30 and brought them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?"	30 et producens eos foras ait:“ Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam? ”.
31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."	31 At illi dixerunt:“ Crede in Domino Iesu et salvus eris tu et domus tua ”.
32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.	32 Et locuti suntei verbum Domini cum omnibus, qui erant in domo eius.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, with all his family.	33 Et tollens eos in illahora noctis lavit eos a plagis, et baptizatus est ipse et omnes eius continuo;
34 Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them; and he rejoiced with all his household that he had believed in God.	34 cumque perduxisset eos in domum, apposuit mensam et laetatus est cum omnidomo sua credens Deo.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, "Let those men go."	35 Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores dicentes: “ Dimittehomines illos! ”.
36 And the jailer reported the words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace."	36 Nuntiavit autem custos carceris verba haec Paulo: “Miserunt magistratus, ut dimittamini; nunc igitur exeuntes ite in pace ”.
37 But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now cast us out secretly? No! let them come themselves and take us out."	37 Paulus autem dixit eis: “ Caesos nos publice, indemnatos, cum homines Romaniessemus, miserunt in carcerem; et nunc occulte nos eiciunt? Non ita, sed veniantet ipsi nos educant ”.
38 The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens;	38 Nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verbahaec. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent;
39 so they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.	39 et venientes deprecati sunt eoset educentes rogabant, ut egrederentur urbem.
40 So they went out of the prison, and visited Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they exhorted them and departed.	40 Exeuntes autem de carcereintroierunt ad Lydiam et, visis fratribus, consolati sunt eos et profecti sunt.
