10 Kui ta seda nägemust oli näinud, siis me püüdsime kohe välja minna Makedooniasse ja me olime julged selles, et Issand meid oli kutsunud neile Evangeeliumi kuulutama.

11 Me läksime Troast teele ja tulime otsekohe Samotraakesse ja järgmisel päeval Neapolisse

12 ja sealt Filipisse, mis on esimesi linnu tolles Makedoonia osas, asulinn. Sinna linna me jäime peatama mõneks päevaks.

13 Ja hingamispäeval me läksime linnast välja jõe äärde, kus neil oli kombeks käia palvusel, ja istusime maha ning kõnelesime naistele, kes olid kokku tulnud.

14 Ja ka üks jumalakartlik naine, nimega Lüüdia, purpurimüüja Tüatiira linnast, kuulas jutlust. Tema südame avas Issand, et ta pani tähele seda, mida Paulus rääkis.

15 Aga kui tema ja ta pere olid ristitud, palus ta meid ning ütles: „Kui te arvate, et ma olen saanud usklikuks Issandasse, siis tulge mu kotta ja jääge sinna!" Ja ta käis meile peale.

16 Aga sündis, kui me läksime palvusele, et meile tuli vastu tüdruk, kellel oli lausuja vaim. See tõi oma isandaile palju kasu lausumisega.

17 Tema tuli Paulusele ja meile järele, kisendas ning ütles: „Need inimesed on Kõigekõrgema Jumala sulased, kes teile kuulutavad õndsuse teed!"

10 And when he had seen the vision, straight away we made the decision to go into Macedonia, for it seemed certain to us that God had sent us to give the good news to them.

11 So, from Troas we went straight by ship to Samothrace and the day after to Neapolis;

12 And from there to Philippi, which is the most important town of Macedonia and a Roman colony: and we were there for some days.

13 And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.

14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.

15 And when she and her family had had baptism, she made a request to us, saying, If it seems to you that I am true to the Lord, come into my house and be my guests. And she made us come.

16 And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.

17 She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.
