25 Pela meia-noite, Paulo e Silas rezavam e cantavam um hino a Deus, e os prisioneiros os escutavam.
26 Subitamente, sentiu-se um terremoto tão grande que se abalaram até os fundamentos do cárcere. Abriram-se logo todas as portas e soltaram-se as algemas de todos.
27 Acordou o carcereiro e, vendo abertas as portas do cárcere, supôs que os presos haviam fugido. Tirou da espada e queria matar-se.
28 Mas Paulo bradou em alta voz: Não te faças nenhum mal, pois estamos todos aqui.
29 Então o carcereiro pediu luz, entrou e lançou-se trêmulo aos pés de Paulo e Silas.
30 Depois os conduziu para fora e perguntou-lhes: Senhores, que devo fazer para me salvar?
31 Disseram-lhe: Crê no Senhor Jesus e serás salvo, tu e tua família.
32 Anunciaram-lhe a palavra de Deus, a ele e a todos os que estavam em sua casa.
33 Então, naquela mesma hora da noite, ele cuidou deles e lavou-lhes as chagas. Imediatamente foi batizado, ele e toda a sua família.
34 Em seguida, ele os fez subir para sua casa, pôs-lhes a mesa e alegrou-se com toda a sua casa por haver crido em Deus.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.
27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.
30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed {them} from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.
34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table {for them}, and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.
