The Macedonian Vision
1保羅來到特庇，又到路司得；在那裏有一個門徒，名叫提摩太，是信主之猶太婦人的兒子，他父親卻是希利尼人。2路司得和以哥念的弟兄，都稱讚他。3保羅要帶他同去，只因那些地方的猶太人，都知道他父親是希利尼人，就給他行了割禮。4他們經過各城，把耶路撒冷使徒和長老所定的條規，交給門徒遵守。5於是眾教會信心越發堅固，人數天天加增。
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聖靈既然禁止他們在亞西亞講道，他們就經過弗呂家加拉太一帶地方；7到了每西亞的邊界，他們想要往庇推尼去，耶穌的靈卻不許；8他們就越過每西亞，下到特羅亞去。9在夜間有異象現與保羅；有一個馬其頓人，站著求他說，請你過到馬其頓來幫助我們。10保羅既看見這異象，我們隨即想要往馬其頓去，以為神召我們傳福音給那裏的人聽。
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於是從特羅亞開船，一直行到撒摩特喇，第二天到了尼亞波利。12從那裏來到腓立比，就是 馬其頓這一方的頭一個城；也是羅馬的駐防城；我們在這城裏住了幾天。13當安息日，我們出城門，到了河邊，知道那裏有一個禱告的地方，我們就坐下對那聚會的婦女講道。14有一個賣紫色布疋的婦人，名叫呂底亞，是推雅推喇城的人，素來敬拜神；他聽見了，主就開導他的心，叫他留心聽保羅所講的話。15他和他一家既領了洗，便求我們說，你們若以為我是真信主的，或作你們若以為我是忠心事主的請到我家裏來住；於是強留我們。
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後來，我們往那禱告的地方去；有一個使女迎著面來，他被巫鬼所附，用法術，叫他主人們大得財利。17他跟隨保羅和我們，喊著說，這些人是至高神的僕人，對你們傳說救人的道。18他一連多日這樣喊叫，保羅就心中厭煩，轉身對那鬼說，我奉耶穌基督的名，吩咐你從他身上出來；那鬼當時就出來了。
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使女的主人們，見得利的指望沒有了，便揪住保羅和西拉，拉他們到市上去見首領；20又帶到官長面前，說，這些人原是猶太人，竟騷擾我們的城，21傳我們羅馬人所不可受，不可行的規矩。22眾人就一同起來攻擊他們，官長吩咐剝了他們的衣裳，用棍打。23打了許多棍，便將他們下在監裏，囑咐禁卒嚴緊看守。24禁卒領了這樣的命，就把他們下在內監裏，兩腳上了木狗。
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約在半夜，保羅和西拉，禱告唱詩讚美神；眾囚犯也側耳而聽。26忽然地大震動，甚至監牢的地基都搖動了，監門立刻全開，眾囚犯的鎖鍊也都鬆開了。27禁卒一醒，看見監門全開，以為囚犯已經逃走，就拔刀要自殺。28保羅大聲呼叫說，不要傷害自己，我們都在這裏。29禁卒叫人拿燈來，就跳進去，戰戰兢兢的，俯伏在保羅西拉面前；30又領他們出來，說，二位先生，我當怎樣行纔可以得救。31他們說，當信主耶穌，你和你一家都必得救。32他們就把主的道，講給他和他全家的人聽。33當夜，就在那時候，禁卒把他們帶去，洗他們的傷；他 和屬乎他的人，立時都受了洗。34於是禁卒領他們上自己家裏去，給他們擺上飯，他和全家，因為信了神，都很喜樂。
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，官長打發差役來，說，釋放那兩個人罷。36禁卒就把這話告訴保羅說，官長打發人來叫釋放你們；如今可以出監，平平安安的去罷。37保羅卻說，我們是羅馬人，並沒有定罪，他們就在眾人面前打了我們，又把我們下在監裏；現在要私下攆我們出去麼，這是不行的；叫他們自己來領我們出去罷。38差役把這話回稟官長；官長聽見他們是羅馬人，就害怕了。39於是來勸他們，領他們出來，請他們離開那城。40二人出了監，往呂底亞家裏去；見了弟兄們，勸慰他們一番，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.
