Atti degli Apostoli 16

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Pervenit autem in Derben et Lystram. Et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibinomine Timotheus, filius mulieris Iudaeae fidelis, patre autem Graeco;	1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
2 huictestimonium reddebant, qui in Lystris erant et Iconii fratres.	2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 Hunc voluitPaulus secum proficisci et assumens circumcidit eum propter Iudaeos, qui erantin illis locis; sciebant enim omnes quod pater eius Graecus esset.	3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
4 Cum autempertransirent civitates, tradebant eis custodire dogmata, quae erant decreta abapostolis et presbyteris, qui essent Hierosolymis.	4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
5 Ecclesiae quidemconfirmabantur fide et abundabant numero cotidie.	5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Transierunt autem Phrygiam et Galatiae regionem, vetati a Sancto Spiritu loquiverbum in Asia;	6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
7 cum venissent autem circa Mysiam, tentabant ire Bithyniam, etnon permisit eos Spiritus Iesu;	7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
8 cum autem praeterissent Mysiam, descenderuntTroadem.	8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
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 appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
10 Utautem visum vidit, statim quaesivimus proficisci in Macedoniam, certi facti quiavocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis.	10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Navigantes autem a Troade recto cursu venimus Samothraciam et sequenti dieNeapolim	11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
12 et inde Philippos, quae est prima partis Macedoniae civitas,colonia. Eramus autem in hac urbe diebus aliquot commorantes.	12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
13 Die autemsabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam iuxta flumen, ubi putabamus orationemesse, et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus, quae convenerant.	13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
14 Et quaedam muliernomine Lydia, purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum colens Deum, audiebat, cuiusDominus aperuit cor intendere his, quae dicebantur a Paulo.	14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
15 Cum autembaptizata esset et domus eius, deprecata est dicens: “ Si iudicastis mefidelem Domino esse, introite in domum meam et manete ”; et coegit nos.	15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
16 Factum est autem, euntibus nobis ad orationem, puellam quandam habentemspiritum pythonem obviare nobis, quae quaestum magnum praestabat dominis suisdivinando.	16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 Haec subsecuta Paulum et nos clamabat dicens: “ Isti hominesservi Dei Altissimi sunt, qui annuntiant vobis viam salutis ”.	17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us 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 did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
19 Videntes autem domini eius quia exivit spes quaestus eorum, apprehendentesPaulum et Silam traxerunt in forum ad principes;	19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
20 et producentes eosmagistratibus dixerunt: “ Hi homines conturbant civitatem nostram, cum sintIudaei,	20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 et annuntiant mores, quos non licet nobis suscipere neque facere, cumsimus Romani ”.	21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
22 Et concurrit plebs adversus eos; et magistratus, scissistunicis eorum, iusserunt virgis caedi	22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
23 et, cum multas plagas eis imposuissent,miserunt eos in carcerem, praecipientes custodi, ut caute custodiret eos;	23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
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 prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners 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 every one's bands were loosed.
27 Expergefactus autem custos carceris etvidens apertas ianuas carceris, evaginato gladio volebat se interficere,aestimans fugisse vinctos.	27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
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 are all here.
29 Petitoque lumine, introcucurrit et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silae;	29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 et producens eos foras ait:“ Domini, quid me oportet facere, ut salvus fiam? ”.	30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 At illi dixerunt:“ Crede in Domino Iesu et salvus eris tu et domus tua ”.	31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 Et locuti suntei verbum Domini cum omnibus, qui erant in domo eius.	32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, 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 took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
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 house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
35 Et cum dies factus esset, miserunt magistratus lictores dicentes: “ Dimittehomines illos! ”.	35 And when it was day, 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 this saying 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 unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
38 Nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verbahaec. Timueruntque audito quod Romani essent;	38 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
39 et venientes deprecati sunt eoset educentes rogabant, ut egrederentur urbem.	39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and 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 when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
