Türkçe Umut Mesajı “Rab İsa’ya iman et, sen de bütün ev halkın da kurtulursunuz.’ Bu sözler, kendini öldürmek üzere olan bir hapishane görevlisine Pavlus ve Silas tarafından söylendi. Büyük bir deprem her mahkûmun zincirlerini ve prangalarını çözüp hapishanenin kapılarını ardına kadar açınca, bütün mahkûmların kaçtığını sanmıştı. Pavlus ve Silas ona bütün mahkûmların hâlâ orada olduğunu söylediler. Depreme kadar Pavlus ve Silas dua ediyor ve diğer mahkûmlar dinlerken Tanrı’ya ilahiler söylüyorlardı. 
Hapishane görevlisi korkmuştu ve kurtulmak için ne yapması gerektiğini sorarak Pavlus ve Silas’a yaklaştı. 
Bu dünyada kanser, büyük bir fatura ya da dişçiye gitmek gibi bizi kaygılandıran veya korkutan birçok şey olabilir. Dünyevi bir umutla, umarım o faturayı ödeyebiliriz ya da dişçi randevusu çok acı verici olmaz diyebiliriz. 
Pavlus ve Silas Tanrı’ya ilahiler söylüyorlardı ve Mesih İsa’da güven dolu bir umutla şöyle diyebildiler , “Rab İsa’ya iman et, sen de bütün ev halkın da kurtulursunuz.” Elçilerin İşleri 16: 31

A Message of Hope in English “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with your entire household.’  
These words were spoken by Paul and Silas to a prison officer who was about to kill himself. He had thought all the prisoners had escaped after a massive earthquake shook the chains and shackles off each prisoner and flung open the prison doors. Paul and Silas assured him that all the prisoners were still there. Up until the earthquake, Paul and Silas had been praying and singing hymns to God with the other prisoners listening. 
The prison officer was frightened and approached Paul and Silas asking what he could do to be saved. 
Many things in this world may concern or frighten us like cancer, a large bill or a trip to the dentist.  We could have a worldly hope and say I hope we can pay that bill or that the dentist appointment won’t be too painful. 
Paul and Silas were singing hymns to God and as a confident hope in Christ Jesus were able say , “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with your entire household.” Acts 16: 31

'Believe in the Lord Jesus and you WILL, be saved" in Romanian
Un Mesaj de Speranță în limba română „Crede în Domnul Isus și vei fi mântuit, împreună cu toată casa ta.” Aceste cuvinte au fost rostite de Pavel și Sila unui temnicer care era pe punctul de a se omorî. El crezuse că toți deținuții scăpaseră după ce un cutremur puternic zguduise lanțurile și cătușele fiecărui prizonier și deschisese larg ușile închisorii. Pavel și Sila l-au asigurat că toți deținuții erau încă acolo. Până la cutremur, Pavel și Sila se rugaseră și cântaseră imnuri lui Dumnezeu, în timp ce ceilalți deținuți ascultau. 
Temnicerul era înspăimântat și s-a apropiat de Pavel și Sila, întrebând ce putea face ca să fie mântuit. 
Multe lucruri din această lume ne pot îngrijora sau înfricoșa, cum ar fi cancerul, o factură mare sau o vizită la dentist. Am putea avea o speranță lumească și să spunem: sper că vom putea plăti factura aceea sau că programarea la dentist nu va fi prea dureroasă. 
Pavel și Sila cântau imnuri lui Dumnezeu și, având o speranță sigură în Hristos Isus, au putut spune: „Crede în Domnul Isus și vei fi mântuit, împreună cu toată casa ta.” Faptele Apostolilor 16: 31

'Believe in the Lord Jesus and you WILL, be saved" in Portuguese 
Uma Mensagem de Esperança em Português - Brasileiro “Creia no Senhor Jesus e você será salvo, junto com toda a sua casa.’ Essas palavras foram ditas por Paulo e Silas a um oficial da prisão que estava prestes a se matar. Ele pensou que todos os prisioneiros tinham escapado depois que um grande terremoto sacudiu as correntes e algemas de cada prisioneiro e escancarou as portas da prisão. Paulo e Silas lhe asseguraram que todos os prisioneiros ainda estavam lá. Até o terremoto acontecer, Paulo e Silas estavam orando e cantando hinos a Deus, enquanto os outros prisioneiros ouviam. 
O oficial da prisão ficou assustado e se aproximou de Paulo e Silas perguntando o que poderia fazer para ser salvo. 
Muitas coisas neste mundo podem nos preocupar ou assustar, como o câncer, uma conta alta ou uma ida ao dentista. Podemos ter uma esperança mundana e dizer: espero que consigamos pagar essa conta ou que a consulta no dentista não seja dolorosa demais. 
Paulo e Silas estavam cantando hinos a Deus e, com uma esperança confiante em Cristo Jesus, puderam dizer: “Creia no Senhor Jesus e você será salvo, junto com toda a sua casa.” Atos 16: 31

A Message of Hope - 'Believe in the Lord Jesus and you WILL, be saved" in Japanese
 
日本語による希望のメッセージ 「主イエスを信じなさい。そうすれば、あなたもあなたの家族も救われます。」 これらの言葉は、今まさに自殺しようとしていた看守に対して、パウロとシラスが語ったものです。大きな地震が起こり、囚人一人ひとりの鎖や足かせが外れ、牢の扉が開いたため、彼は囚人たちが皆逃げてしまったと思ったのです。パウロとシラスは、囚人たちは皆まだそこにいると彼に告げました。地震が起こるまで、パウロとシラスは祈り、神を賛美する賛美歌を歌っており、ほかの囚人たちはそれに耳を傾けていました。 
看守は恐れおののき、どうすれば救われるのかを尋ねながら、パウロとシラスのもとに近づきました。 
この世には、がん、高額な請求書、あるいは歯医者に行くことのように、私たちを不安にさせたり恐れさせたりするものがたくさんあります。私たちはこの世的な望みを抱いて、「あの請求書を払えますように」とか、「歯医者の予約があまり痛くありませんように」と言うかもしれません。 
パウロとシラスは神を賛美する賛美歌を歌っており、キリスト・イエスにある確かな希望をもって、「主イエスを信じなさい。そうすれば、あなたもあなたの家族も救われます」と語ることができました。使徒 16: 31

A Message of Hope -'Believe in the Lord Jesus and you WILL, be saved" in Greek
 
Ένα Μήνυμα Ελπίδας στα Ελληνικά «Πίστεψε στον Κύριο Ιησού και θα σωθείς, μαζί με ολόκληρο το σπίτι σου.’ Αυτά τα λόγια ειπώθηκαν από τον Παύλο και τον Σίλα σε έναν δεσμοφύλακα που ήταν έτοιμος να αυτοκτονήσει. Είχε νομίσει ότι όλοι οι φυλακισμένοι είχαν δραπετεύσει αφού ένας μεγάλος σεισμός τίναξε τις αλυσίδες και τα δεσμά από κάθε κρατούμενο και άνοιξε διάπλατα τις πόρτες της φυλακής. Ο Παύλος και ο Σίλας τον διαβεβαίωσαν ότι όλοι οι φυλακισμένοι ήταν ακόμη εκεί. Μέχρι να γίνει ο σεισμός, ο Παύλος και ο Σίλας προσεύχονταν και έψαλλαν ύμνους στον Θεό, ενώ οι άλλοι φυλακισμένοι άκουγαν. 
Ο δεσμοφύλακας φοβήθηκε και πλησίασε τον Παύλο και τον Σίλα ρωτώντας τι μπορούσε να κάνει για να σωθεί. 
Πολλά πράγματα σε αυτόν τον κόσμο μπορεί να μας ανησυχούν ή να μας φοβίζουν, όπως ο καρκίνος, ένας μεγάλος λογαριασμός ή μια επίσκεψη στον οδοντίατρο. Θα μπορούσαμε να έχουμε μια κοσμική ελπίδα και να πούμε: ελπίζω να μπορέσουμε να πληρώσουμε εκείνον τον λογαριασμό ή ότι το ραντεβού στον οδοντίατρο δεν θα είναι πολύ επώδυνο. 
Ο Παύλος και ο Σίλας έψαλλαν ύμνους στον Θεό και, έχοντας βέβαιη ελπίδα στον Χριστό Ιησού, μπορούσαν να πουν: «Πίστεψε στον Κύριο Ιησού και θα σωθείς, μαζί με ολόκληρο το σπίτι σου.» Πράξεις 16: 31 
Πού είναι τοποθετημένη η ελπίδα σου σήμερα;

Bu sözler, kendini öldürmek üzere olan bir hapishane görevlisine Pavlus ve Silas tarafından söylendi.

Un mensaje de esperanza en español «Cree en el Señor Jesús y serás salvo, tú y toda tu casa». Estas palabras fueron pronunciadas por Pablo y Silas a un funcionario de la prisión que estaba a punto de quitarse la vida. Había pensado que todos los presos se habían escapado después de que un gran terremoto sacudiera las cadenas y los grilletes de cada prisionero y abriera de par en par las puertas de la cárcel. Pablo y Silas le aseguraron que todos los presos seguían allí. Hasta el momento del terremoto, Pablo y Silas habían estado orando y cantando himnos a Dios mientras los demás presos escuchaban.

A Message of Hope - 'Believe in the Lord Jesus and you WILL, be saved" in Finnish
Toivon sanoma suomeksi: “Usko Herraan Jeesukseen, niin sinä pelastut, samoin koko perhekuntasi.” Nämä sanat Paavali ja Silas puhuivat vanginvartijalle, joka oli aikeissa tappaa itsensä. Hän luuli kaikkien vankien paenneen sen jälkeen, kun voimakas maanjäristys ravisteli kahleet ja kahleet irti jokaisesta vangista ja paiskasi vankilan ovet auki. Paavali ja Silas vakuuttivat hänelle, että kaikki vangit olivat yhä siellä. Maanjäristykseen asti Paavali ja Silas olivat rukoilleet ja veisanneet ylistyslauluja Jumalalle muiden vankien kuunnellessa. 
Vanginvartija pelästyi ja lähestyi Paavalia ja Silasta kysyen, mitä hänen pitäisi tehdä pelastuakseen. 
Monet asiat tässä maailmassa voivat huolestuttaa tai pelottaa meitä, kuten syöpä, suuri lasku tai hammaslääkärikäynti. Meillä voi olla maallinen toivo ja voimme sanoa: toivottavasti pystymme maksamaan tuon laskun tai ettei hammaslääkärikäynti olisi liian kivulias. 
Paavali ja Silas lauloivat ylistyslauluja Jumalalle ja Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa olevan varman toivon tähden saattoivat sanoa: “Usko Herraan Jeesukseen, niin sinä pelastut, samoin koko perhekuntasi.” Apostolien teot 16: 31

Believe in the Lord Jesus and you WILL, be saved" in Danish
 
Et budskab om håb på dansk “Tro på Herren Jesus, så skal du blive frelst, du og hele dit husstand.’ Disse ord blev talt af Paulus og Silas til en fængselsbetjent, som var ved at tage sit eget liv. Han troede, at alle fangerne var flygtet, efter at et voldsomt jordskælv havde rystet lænkerne og fodjernene af hver enkelt fange og sprængt fængselsdørene op. Paulus og Silas forsikrede ham om, at alle fangerne stadig var der. Indtil jordskælvet havde Paulus og Silas bedt og sunget lovsange til Gud, mens de andre fanger lyttede. 
Fængselsbetjenten blev bange og gik hen til Paulus og Silas og spurgte, hvad han kunne gøre for at blive frelst. 
Mange ting i denne verden kan bekymre eller skræmme os, såsom kræft, en stor regning eller en tur til tandlægen. Vi kunne have et verdsligt håb og sige: Jeg håber, vi kan betale den regning, eller at tandlægebesøget ikke bliver alt for smertefuldt. 
Paulus og Silas sang lovsange til Gud og kunne med et sikkert håb i Kristus Jesus sige: “Tro på Herren Jesus, så skal du blive frelst, du og hele dit husstand.” Apostlenes Gerninger 16: 31
