25 But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;
26 And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.
27 And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.
28 But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.
29 And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,
30 And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?
31 And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.
32 And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33 And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.
34 And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.
25 Около полуночи Павел и Сила, молясь, воспевали Бога; узники же слушали их.
26 Вдруг сделалось великое землетрясение, так что поколебалось основание темницы; тотчас отворились все двери, и у всех узы ослабели.
27 Темничный же страж, пробудившись и увидев, что двери темницы отворены, извлек меч и хотел умертвить себя, думая, что узники убежали.
28 Но Павел возгласил громким голосом, говоря: не делай себе никакого зла, ибо все мы здесь.
29 Он потребовал огня, вбежал [в темницу] и в трепете припал к Павлу и Силе,
30 и, выведя их вон, сказал: государи [мои]! что мне делать, чтобы спастись?
31 Они же сказали: веруй в Господа Иисуса Христа, и спасешься ты и весь дом твой.
32 И проповедали слово Господне ему и всем, бывшим в доме его.
33 И, взяв их в тот час ночи, он омыл раны их и немедленно крестился сам и все [домашние] его.
34 И, приведя их в дом свой, предложил трапезу и возрадовался со всем домом своим, что уверовал в Бога.
