25 Or sulla mezzanotte Paolo e Sila, pregando, cantavano inni a Dio; e i carcerati li ascoltavano.
26 E ad un tratto, si fece un gran terremoto, talché la prigione fu scossa dalle fondamenta; e in quellistante tutte le porte si apersero, e i legami di tutti si sciolsero.
27 Il carceriere, destatosi, e vedute le porte della prigione aperte, tratta la spada, stava per uccidersi, pensando che i carcerati fossero fuggiti.
28 Ma Paolo gridò ad alta voce: Non ti far male alcuno, perché siam tutti qui.
29 E quegli, chiesto un lume, saltò dentro, e tutto tremante si gettò ai piedi di Paolo e di Sila;
30 e menatili fuori, disse: Signori, che debbo io fare per esser salvato?
31 Ed essi risposero: Credi nel Signor Gesù, e sarai salvato tu e la casa tua.
32 Poi annunziarono la parola del Signore a lui e a tutti coloro che erano in casa sua.
33 Ed egli, presili in quellistessa ora della notte, lavò loro le piaghe; e subito fu battezzato lui con tutti i suoi.
34 E menatili su in casa sua, apparecchiò loro la tavola, e giubilava con tutta la sua casa, perché avea creduto in Dio.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
26 and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all -- the bands were loosed;
27 and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled,
28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.
29 And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 and having brought them forth, said, Sirs, what must I do -- that I may be saved?
31 and they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;
32 and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;
33 and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe [them] from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,
34 having brought them also into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
