The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 pervenit autem in Derben et Lystram et ecce discipulus quidam erat ibi nomine Timotheus filius mulieris iudaeae fidelis patre gentili
1
Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek.
2 huic testimonium reddebant qui in Lystris erant et Iconii fratres
2
He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium.
3 hunc voluit Paulus secum proficisci et adsumens circumcidit eum propter Iudaeos qui erant in illis locis sciebant enim omnes quod pater eius gentilis esset
3
Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
4 cum autem pertransirent civitates tradebant eis custodire dogmata quae erant decreta ab apostolis et senioribus qui essent Hierosolymis
4
And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.
5 et ecclesiae quidem confirmabantur fide et abundabant numero cotidie
5
So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 transeuntes autem Frygiam et Galatiae regionem vetati sunt a Sancto Spiritu loqui verbum in Asia
6
Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.
7 cum venissent autem in Mysiam temptabant ire Bithyniam et non permisit eos Spiritus Iesu
7
After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.
8 cum autem pertransissent Mysiam descenderunt Troadem
8
So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 et visio per noctem Paulo ostensa est vir macedo quidam erat stans et deprecans eum et dicens transiens in Macedoniam adiuva nos
9
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."
10 ut autem visum vidit statim quaesivimus proficisci in Macedoniam certi facti quia vocasset nos Deus evangelizare eis
10
Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 navigantes autem a Troade recto cursu venimus Samothraciam et sequenti die Neapolim
11
Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis,
12 et inde Philippis quae est prima partis Macedoniae civitas colonia eramus autem in hac urbe diebus aliquot conferentes
12
and from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city for some days.
13 die autem sabbatorum egressi sumus foras portam iuxta flumen ubi videbatur oratio esse et sedentes loquebamur mulieribus quae convenerant
13
And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.
14 et quaedam mulier nomine Lydia purpuraria civitatis Thyatirenorum colens Deum audivit cuius Dominus aperuit cor intendere his quae dicebantur a Paulo
14
Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.
15 cum autem baptizata esset et domus eius deprecata est dicens si iudicastis me fidelem Domino esse introite in domum meam et manete et coegit nos
15
And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." So she persuaded us.
16 factum est autem euntibus nobis ad orationem puellam quandam habentem spiritum pythonem obviare nobis quae quaestum magnum praestabat dominis suis divinando
16
Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.
17 haec subsecuta Paulum et nos clamabat dicens isti homines servi Dei excelsi sunt qui adnuntiant vobis viam salutis
17
This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, "These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation."
18 hoc autem faciebat 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 for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And he came out that very hour.
19 videntes autem domini eius quia exivit spes quaestus eorum adprehendentes Paulum et Silam perduxerunt in forum ad principes
19
But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.
20 et offerentes eos magistratibus dixerunt hii homines conturbant civitatem nostram cum sint Iudaei
20
And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, "These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city;
21 et adnuntiant morem quem non licet nobis suscipere neque facere cum simus Romani
21
and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe."
22 et concurrit plebs adversus eos et magistratus scissis tunicis eorum iusserunt virgis caedi
22
Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23 et cum multas plagas eis inposuissent miserunt eos in carcerem praecipientes custodi ut diligenter custodiret eos
23
And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.
24 qui cum tale praeceptum accepisset misit eos in interiorem carcerem et pedes eorum strinxit in ligno
24
Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 media autem nocte Paulus et Silas adorantes laudabant Deum et audiebant eos qui in custodia erant
25
But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 subito vero terraemotus factus est magnus ita ut moverentur fundamenta carceris et aperta sunt statim ostia omnia et universorum vincula soluta sunt
26
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.
27 expergefactus autem custos carceris et videns apertas ianuas carceris evaginato gladio volebat se interficere aestimans fugisse vinctos
27
And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.
28 clamavit autem Paulus magna voce dicens nihil feceris tibi mali universi enim hic sumus
28
But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, "Do yourself no harm, for we are all here."
29 petitoque lumine introgressus est et tremefactus procidit Paulo et Silae
29
Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 et producens eos foras ait domini quid me oportet facere ut salvus fiam
30
And he 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
So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
32 et locuti sunt ei verbum Domini cum omnibus qui erant in domo eius
32
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33 et tollens eos in illa hora noctis lavit plagas eorum et baptizatus est ipse et omnes eius continuo
33
And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.
34 cumque perduxisset eos in domum suam adposuit eis mensam et laetatus est cum omni domo sua credens Deo
34
Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.
35 et cum dies factus esset miserunt magistratus lictores dicentes dimitte homines illos
35
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, "Let those men go."
36 nuntiavit autem custos carceris verba haec Paulo quia miserunt magistratus ut dimittamini nunc igitur exeuntes ite in pace
36
So the keeper of the prison reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart, and go in peace."
37 Paulus autem dixit eis caesos nos publice indemnatos homines romanos miserunt in carcerem et nunc occulte nos eiciunt non ita sed veniant
37
But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us openly, uncondemned Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and get us out."
38 et ipsi nos eiciant nuntiaverunt autem magistratibus lictores verba haec timueruntque audito quod Romani essent
38
And the officers told these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
39 et venientes deprecati sunt eos et educentes rogabant ut egrederentur urbem
39
Then they came and pleaded with them and brought them out, and asked them to depart from the city.
40 exeuntes autem de carcere introierunt ad Lydiam et visis fratribus consolati sunt eos et profecti sunt
40
So they went out of the prison and entered the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.
