25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. 34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
25 约在半夜, 保罗和西拉祈祷歌颂 神, 囚犯们都侧耳听着。
26 忽然发生了大地震, 以致监牢的地基都摇动起来, 所有的监门立刻开了, 囚犯的锁链都松了。
27 狱吏醒过来, 看见监门全开, 以为囚犯都已经逃脱了, 就拔出刀来想要自刎。
28 保罗大声呼叫说: "不要伤害自己, 我们都在这里! "
29 狱吏叫人拿了灯来, 就冲进去, 战战兢兢地俯伏在保罗和西拉面前,
30 随后领他们出来, 说: "先生, 我应该作什么才可以得救?"
31 他们说: "当信主耶稣, 你和你一家人都必定得救。"
32 他们就把主的道, 讲给他和他全家的人听。
33 就在当夜的那个时候, 狱吏领他们去洗伤, 狱吏和他家人都受了洗,
34 就带他们到家里, 摆上饭食, 他和全家因信了 神就大大喜乐。
