(每日读经 5/9) 使徒行传 Acts 16.1-15 /附音频

16:1 保罗来到特庇，又到路司得。看哪，在那里有一个门徒，名叫提摩太，是信主之犹太妇人的儿子，父亲却是希利尼人。

And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but of a Greek father;

16:2 路司得和以哥念的弟兄们都称赞他。

He was well attested to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.

16:3 保罗有意要他一同出去，只因那些地方的犹太人，就带他去，给他行了割礼，因为他们都知道他父亲是希利尼人。

Paul wanted this one to go forth with him; and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

16:4 他们经过各城，把耶路撒冷的使徒和长老所定的规条，交给门徒遵守。

And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep which had been decided upon by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem.

16:5 于是众召会在信仰上得坚固，人数天天加增。

And so the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in number daily.

16:6 圣灵既然禁止他们在亚西亚讲道，他们就经过弗吕家和加拉太地区。

And they passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

16:7 到了每西亚的边界，他们试着要往庇推尼去，耶稣的灵却不许，

And when they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, yet the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

16:8 他们就越过每西亚，下到特罗亚去。

And bypassing Mysia, they came down to Troas.

16:9 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。

And a vision appeared to Paul during the night: A certain man, a Macedonian, was standing and entreating him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.

16:10 保罗既看见这异象，我们便推断是神召我们去传福音给那里的人，就立刻想要往马其顿去。

And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to announce the gospel to them.

16:11 于是从特罗亚开船，一直行到撒摩特喇，第二天到了尼亚波利。

And putting out to sea from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis,

16:12 从那里来到腓立比，就是马其顿区的头一个城，也是罗马的驻防城。我们在这城里住了几天。

And from there to Philippi, which is the leading city of that part of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we spent some days in this city.

16:13 当安息日，我们走出城门，到了河边，以为那里是个祷告的地方，我们就坐下对那聚集的妇女讲论。

And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where we supposed there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

16:14 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；她一直听着，主就开启她的心，叫她留意保罗所讲的。

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple-dyed goods from the city of Thyatira who worshipped God, was listening, whose heart the Lord opened to give heed to the things being spoken by Paul.

16:15 她和她一家既受了浸，便求我们说，你们若断定我对主是忠信的，就请到我家里来住；于是强留我们。

And when she was baptized, as well as her household, she entreated us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide. And she constrained us.
