The Macedonian Vision
1保罗来到特庇,又到路司得。在那里有一个门徒,名叫提摩太,是信主之犹太妇人的儿子,他父亲却是希腊人。2路司得和以哥念的弟兄都称赞他。3保罗要带他同去,只因那些地方的犹太人都知道他父亲是希腊人,就给他行了割礼。4他们经过各城,把耶路撒冷使徒和长老所定的条规交给门徒遵守。5于是众教会信心越发坚固,人数天天加增。
1Now Paul also came to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek, 2and he was well spoken of by the brothers and sisters who were in Lystra and Iconium. 3Paul wanted this man to leave with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek. 4Now while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering the ordinances for them to follow which had been determined by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem. 5So the churches were being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.
6圣灵既然禁止他们在亚细亚讲道,他们就经过弗吕家、加拉太一带地方。7到了每西亚的边界,他们想要往庇推尼去,耶稣的灵却不许。8他们就越过每西亚,下到特罗亚去。9在夜间有异象现与保罗。有一个马其顿人站着求他说:「请你过到马其顿来帮助我们。」10保罗既看见这异象,我们随即想要往马其顿去,以为神召我们传福音给那里的人听。
6They passed through the Phrygian and Galatian region, after being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia; 7and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; 8and passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. 9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing and pleading with him, and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10When he had seen the vision, we immediately sought to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
First Convert in Europe
11于是从特罗亚开船,一直行到撒摩特喇,第二天到了尼亚坡里。12从那里来到腓立比,就是马其顿这一方的头一个城,也是罗马的驻防城。我们在这城里住了几天。13当安息日,我们出城门,到了河边,知道那里有一个祷告的地方,我们就坐下对那聚会的妇女讲道。14有一个卖紫色布疋的妇人,名叫吕底亚,是推雅推喇城的人,素来敬拜神。她听见了,主就开导她的心,叫她留心听保罗所讲的话。15她和她一家既领了洗,便求我们说:「你们若以为我是真信主的或译:你们若以为我是忠心事主的,请到我家里来住」;于是强留我们。
11So after setting sail from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis; 12and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we were spending some days in this city. 13And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were thinking that there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled. 14A woman named Lydia was listening; she was a seller of purple fabrics from the city of Thyatira, and a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul. 15Now when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.
16后来,我们往那祷告的地方去。有一个使女迎着面来,她被巫鬼所附,用法术,叫她主人们大得财利。17她跟随保罗和我们,喊着说:「这些人是至高神的仆人,对你们传说救人的道。」18她一连多日这样喊叫,保罗就心中厌烦,转身对那鬼说:「我奉耶稣基督的名,吩咐你从她身上出来!」那鬼当时就出来了。
16It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave woman who had a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing great profit to her masters by fortune-telling. 17She followed Paul and us and cried out repeatedly, saying, “These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you a way of salvation.” 18Now she continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and he turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out at that very moment.
Paul and Silas Imprisoned
19使女的主人们见得利的指望没有了,便揪住保罗和西拉,拉他们到市上去见首领;20又带到官长面前说:「这些人原是犹太人,竟骚扰我们的城,21传我们罗马人所不可受不可行的规矩。」22众人就一同起来攻击他们。官长吩咐剥了他们的衣裳,用棍打;23打了许多棍,便将他们下在监里,嘱咐禁卒严紧看守。24禁卒领了这样的命,就把他们下在内监里,两脚上了木狗。
19But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was suddenly gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities, 20and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, “These men, Jews as they are, are causing our city trouble, 21and they are proclaiming customs that are not lawful for us to accept or to practice, since we are Romans.” 22The crowd joined in an attack against them, and the chief magistrates tore their robes off them and proceeded to order them to be beaten with rods. 23When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to guard them securely; 24and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
The Jailer Converted
25约在半夜,保罗和西拉祷告,唱诗赞美神,众囚犯也侧耳而听。26忽然,地大震动,甚至监牢的地基都摇动了,监门立刻全开,众囚犯的锁链也都松开了。27禁卒一醒,看见监门全开,以为囚犯已经逃走,就拔刀要自杀。28保罗大声呼叫说:「不要伤害自己!我们都在这里。」29禁卒叫人拿灯来,就跳进去,战战兢兢地俯伏在保罗、西拉面前;30又领他们出来,说:「二位先生,我当怎样行才可以得救?」31他们说:「当信主耶稣,你和你一家都必得救。」32他们就把主的道讲给他和他全家的人听。33当夜,就在那时候,禁卒把他们带去,洗他们的伤;他和属乎他的人立时都受了洗。34于是禁卒领他们上自己家里去,给他们摆上饭。他和全家,因为信了神,都很喜乐。
25Now about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them; 26and 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 unfastened. 27When the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped. 28But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!” 29And the jailer asked for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear, he fell down before Paul and Silas; 30and after he brought them out, he said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32And they spoke the word of God to him together with all who were in his house. 33And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household. 34And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and was overjoyed, since he had become a believer in God together with his whole household.
35到了天亮,官长打发差役来,说:「释放那两个人吧。」36禁卒就把这话告诉保罗说:「官长打发人来叫释放你们,如今可以出监,平平安安地去吧。」37保罗却说:「我们是罗马人,并没有定罪,他们就在众人面前打了我们,又把我们下在监里,现在要私下撵我们出去吗?这是不行的。叫他们自己来领我们出去吧!」38差役把这话回禀官长。官长听见他们是罗马人,就害怕了,39于是来劝他们,领他们出来,请他们离开那城。40二人出了监,往吕底亚家里去,见了弟兄们,劝慰他们一番,就走了。
35Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their officers, saying, “Release those men.” 36And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The chief magistrates have sent word that you be released. So come out now and go in peace.” 37But Paul said to them, “After beating us in public without due process—men who are Romans—they threw us into prison; and now they are releasing us secretly? No indeed! On the contrary, let them come in person and lead us out.” 38The officers reported these words to the chief magistrates. And they became fearful when they heard that they were Romans, 39and they came and pleaded with them, and when they had led them out, they repeatedly asked them to leave the city. 40They left the prison and entered the house of Lydia, and when they saw the brothers and sisters, they encouraged them and departed.
