9 Et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est: vir Macedo quidam erat stanset deprecans eum et dicens: “ Transiens in Macedoniam, adiuva nos! ”.	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 Utautem visum vidit, statim quaesivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quiavocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.	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.

And she constrained us.

17 Haec subsecuta Paulum et nos clamabat dicens: “ Isti hominesservi Dei Altissimi sunt, qui annuntiant vobis viam salutis ”.	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 Hoc autemfaciebat multis diebus. Dolens autem Paulus et conversus spiritui dixit: “Praecipio tibi in nomine Iesu Christi exire ab ea ”; et exiit eadem hora.	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.

21 et annuntiant mores, quos non licet nobis suscipere neque facere, cumsimus Romani ”.	21 And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.
22 Et concurrit plebs adversus eos; et magistratus, scissistunicis eorum, iusserunt virgis caedi	22 And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.

24 quicum tale praeceptum accepisset, misit eos in interiorem carcerem et pedes eorumstrinxit in ligno.	24 Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Media autem nocte, Paulus et Silas orantes laudabant Deum, et audiebant eos,qui in custodia erant;	25 And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.
26 subito vero terraemotus factus est magnus, ita utmoverentur fundamenta carceris, et aperta sunt statim ostia omnia, etuniversorum vincula soluta sunt.	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.

28 Clamavit autem Paulus magna voce dicens: “ Nihilfeceris tibi mali; universi enim hic sumus ”.	28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.
29 Petitoque lumine, introcucurrit et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silae;	29 Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
30 et producens eos foras ait:“ Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam? ”.	30 And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
31 At illi dixerunt:“ Crede in Domino Iesu et salvus eris tu et domus tua ”.	31 But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 Et locuti suntei verbum Domini cum omnibus, qui erant in domo eius.	32 And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
33 Et tollens eos in illahora noctis lavit eos a plagis, et baptizatus est ipse et omnes eius continuo;	33 And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
34 cumque perduxisset eos in domum, apposuit mensam et laetatus est cum omnidomo sua credens Deo.	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 Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores dicentes: “ Dimittehomines illos! ”.	35 And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
36 Nuntiavit autem custos carceris verba haec Paulo: “Miserunt magistratus, ut dimittamini; nunc igitur exeuntes ite in pace ”.	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 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 ”.	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 Nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verbahaec. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent;	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 et venientes deprecati sunt eoset educentes rogabant, ut egrederentur urbem.	39 And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.
40 Exeuntes autem de carcereintroierunt ad Lydiam et, visis fratribus, consolati sunt eos et profecti sunt.	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.
