1保罗来到特庇，又到路司得。在那里有一个门徒，名叫，是信主之犹太妇人的儿子，他父亲却是希腊人。Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
2路司得和以哥念的弟兄都称赞他。The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
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。Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4他们经过各城，把耶路撒冷使徒和长老所定的交给门徒遵守。As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5于是众教会信心越发坚固，人数天天加增。So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6圣灵既然禁止他们在讲道，他们就经过弗吕家、加拉太一带地方。After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
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。And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
8他们就越过每西亚，下到去。So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9在夜间有异象现与保罗。有一个站着求他说：“请你过到马其顿来帮助我们。”During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
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。As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
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。We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
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。我们在这城里住了几天。From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13当安息日，我们出城门，到了河边，知道那里有一个，我们就坐下对那聚会的妇女讲道。On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
14有一个卖紫色的妇人，名叫吕底亚，是城的人，素来敬拜 神。她听见了，主就，叫她留心听保罗所讲的话。Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
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”；于是我们。And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
16后来，我们往那祷告的地方去。有一个使女迎着面来，她被所附，用法术，叫她主人们大得财利。One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.
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。”This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
18她一连多日这样喊叫，保罗就，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。She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
19使女的主人们见得利的指望没有了，便保罗和西拉，拉他们到去见首领；When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
20又带到面前说：“这些人原是犹太人，竟我们的城，They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21传我们罗马人所不可受不可行的。”by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22众人就一同起来攻击他们。官长吩咐剥了他们的衣裳，；The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
23打了许多棍，便将他们下在监里，嘱咐严紧看守。And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
24禁卒领了这样的命，就把他们下在里，两脚上了。On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25约在半夜，保罗和西拉祷告，唱诗赞美 神，众囚犯也。About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
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。Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
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。When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
28保罗大声呼叫说：“不要伤害自己！我们都在这里。”But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
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；Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30又领他们出来，说：“二位先生，我当怎样行才可以得救？”Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31他们说：“当信主耶稣，你和你一家都必得救。”They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32他们就把主的道讲给他和他全家的人听。Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
33当夜，就在那时候，禁卒把他们带去，洗他们的伤；他和立时都受了洗。At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
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。Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.
35到了天亮，官长打发来，说：“释放那两个人吧。”When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
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。”The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
37保罗却说：“我们是，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，现在要私下我们出去吗？这是不行的。叫他们自己来领我们出去吧！”But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
38差役把这话官长。官长听见他们是罗马人，就害怕了，So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
39于是来劝他们，领他们出来，请他们离开那城。They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
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。After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
