Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
35 När det blev dag skickade domarna sina rättstjänare och lät säga: "Frige de där människorna." 36 Fångvaktaren framförde detta till Paulus och sade: "Domarna har sänt bud att ni ska friges. Så kom nu ut och gå i frid!" 37 (A) Men Paulus sade till dem: "De har piskat oss offentligt utan rättegång, fast vi är romerska medborgare[a], och kastat oss i fängelse. Och nu vill de skicka iväg oss i hemlighet! Å nej, de får komma hit själva och hämta ut oss."
38 Rättstjänarna framförde dessaord till domarna, som blev förskräckta när de fick höra att de var romerska medborgare. 39 De kom och talade vänligt till dem och förde ut dem och bad dem lämna staden. 40 Men när Paulus och Silas var ute ur fängelset gick de i stället hem till Lydia, där de träffade bröderna och gav dem uppmuntran och tröst. Sedan drog de vidare.

35 When it was daylight, the magistrates sent their officers to the jailer with the order: “Release those men.” 36 The jailer(A) told Paul, “The magistrates have ordered that you and Silas be released. Now you can leave. Go in peace.”(B)
37 But Paul said to the officers: “They beat us publicly without a trial, even though we are Roman citizens,(C) and threw us into prison. And now do they want to get rid of us quietly? No! Let them come themselves and escort us out.”
38 The officers reported this to the magistrates, and when they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were alarmed.(D) 39 They came to appease them and escorted them from the prison, requesting them to leave the city.(E) 40 After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house,(F) where they met with the brothers and sisters(G) and encouraged them. Then they left.

Paul Refuses to Depart Secretly
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the [a]officers, saying, “Let those men go.”
36 So the keeper of the prison reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go. Now therefore depart, and go in peace.”
37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us openly, uncondemned (A)Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and get us out.”
38 And the officers told these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. 39 Then they came and pleaded with them and brought them out, and (B)asked them to depart from the city. 40 So they went out of the prison (C)and entered the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.
