Acts 17
1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
पौलुस अर सीलास अम्फिपुलिस अर अपुल्लोनिया नगरां तै होकै थिस्सलुनीके नगर म्ह आये, जित्त यहूदियाँ का एक आराधनालय था।
2 And Paul, according to his custom, went in to them, and, for three sabbath-days, he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
पौलुस अपणी रीत कै मुताबिक उनकै धोरै गया, अर तीन्नु आराम कै दिनां म्ह पवित्र ग्रन्थ म्ह तै उनकै गेल्या बहस करी,
3 explaining and affirming that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead; and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.
अर वो उनका मतलब खोल-खोल कै समझावै था के मसीह नै दुख ठाणा, अर मरे होया म्ह तै जिन्दा उठणा, जरूरी था, अर “योए यीशु जिसकी मै थमनै कथा सुणाऊँ सूं, मसीह सै।”
4 And some of them believed, and associated themselves with Paul and Silas; of the devout Greeks, a great multitude, and of the chief women, not a few.
कितने यहूदी अर परमेसवर के भगत यूनानियाँ म्ह तै घणखरयां नै, अर घणी आच्छे खानदान की लुगाईयाँ नै मान लिया, अर पौलुस अर सीलास कै गेल्या मिलगे।
5 But the unbelieving Jews, taking with them some evil men, who were loungers about the markets, and collecting a mob, set the city in an uproar; and having assaulted the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
पर यहूदियाँ नै जळण तै भरकै बाजारू माणसां म्ह तै कुछ दुष्ट माणसां ताहीं अपणे गेल्या लिया, अर भीड़ कठ्ठी करकै नगर म्ह दंगा मचाण लाग्गे, अर यासोन कै घर पै चढ़ाई करकै उन ताहीं आदमियाँ कै स्याम्ही ल्याणा चाह्या।
6 But not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren before the rulers of the city, crying out: These men, who have thrown the world into confusion, have come hither also;
उननै जिब वे ओड़ै न्ही मिले तो वे किल्की मारदे होए यासोन अर कुछ बिश्वासी भाईयाँ ताहीं नगर के हाकिमां कै स्याम्ही खींच ल्याए, “ये माणस जिन नै दुनिया ताहीं उल्टा-पुल्टा कर दिया सै, उरै भी आ लिए सै।
7 whom Jason has received into his house: and they all act in opposition to the decrees of Cæsar, saying, That there is another king, Jesus.
यासोन नै उन ताहीं अपणे घरां रहण की इजाजत दी सै। ये सारे के सारे न्यू कहवै सै के यीशु राजा सै, अर कैसर के हुकमां का बिरोध करै सै।”
8 And the multitude, and the rulers of the city, were troubled when they heard these things.
उननै आदमियाँ ताहीं अर नगर के हाकिमां ताहीं न्यू सुणाकै डरा दिया।
9 And they took security of Jason, and of the others, and let them go.
ज्यांतै उननै यासोन अर बाकी माणसां तै जमानत पै उन ताहीं छोड़ दिया।
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea; and when they had come, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
बिश्वासी भाईयाँ नै जिब्बे राते-रात पौलुस अर सीलास ताहीं बिरीया नगर भेज दिया, अर वे ओड़ै पोहचकै यहूदियाँ के आराधनालय म्ह गये।
11 These were of a better disposition than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so.
ये माणस तो थिस्सलुनीके नगर के यहूदियाँ तै आच्छे थे, अर उननै घणे चाह् तै वचन अपणाया, अर हर-रोज पवित्र ग्रन्थां म्ह टोह्न्दे रहे के ये बात न्यू सै के न्ही।
12 Therefore, many of them believed; both of influential women, who were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
ज्यांतै उन म्ह तै घणखरयां नै, अर यूनानी आच्छे खानदान की बिरबानियाँ म्ह तै अर माणसां म्ह तै भी घणखरयां नै बिश्वास करया।
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul in Berea also, they came thither, and excited the multitude.
पर जिब थिस्सलुनीके नगर के यहूदी जाणगे के पौलुस बिरीया नगर म्ह भी परमेसवर का वचन सुणावै सै, तो ओड़ै भी माणसां ताहीं उकसाण अर गड़बड़ मचाण लाग्गे।
14 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul away, to go as if to the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
फेर बिश्वासी भाईयाँ नै जिब्बे पौलुस ताहीं बिदा करया के समुन्दर कै किनारे चल्या जावै, पर सीलास अर तीमुथियुस बिरीया रहगे।
15 And those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and having received a commandment for Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
पौलुस के मददगार उस ताहीं एथेंस नगर तक लेगे, अर सीलास अर तीमुथियुस कै खात्तर या आज्ञा पाकै बिदा होए के उसकै धोरै घणी तगाजै तै आवै।
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, when he saw the city full of idols.
जिब पौलुस एथेंस नगर म्ह उसकी बाट देक्खै था, तो नगर नै मूर्तियाँ तै भरया होड़ देखकै भोत परेशान होग्या।
17 Accordingly, he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the market daily, with those who chanced to meet him.
इस करकै वो आराधनालय म्ह यहूदियाँ तै अर भगतां तै, अर चौक म्ह जो माणस उसतै फेटै थे उनतै हरेक दिन बहस करया करै था।
18 And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers disputed with him; and some said: What can this babbler possibly wish to say? Others said: He seems to be a proclaimer of strange demons: for he preached to them Jesus and the Resurrection.
फेर इपिकूरी अर स्तोईकी उपदेशकां म्ह तै कुछे उसतै तर्क करण लाग्गे, अर कुछां नै कह्या, “यो बकवादी के कहणा चाहवै सै?” पर दुसरयां नै कह्या, “वो दुसरे देवत्यां का प्रचारक दिक्खै सै” क्यूँके वो यीशु का अर पुनरुत्थान का सुसमाचार सुणावै था।
19 And they took him, and brought him to Mars hill, saying: Are we able to understand what this new teaching is, which is announced by you?
फेर वे उसनै अपणे गेल्या अरियुपगुस नामक आराधनालय म्ह लेगे अर बुझ्झया, “के हम जाण सकां सां के यो नया पंथ जो तू सुणावै सै, के सै?
20 For you bring some strange things to our ears: we wish to understand then what these things mean.
क्यूँके तू अनोक्खी बात म्हारै ताहीं सुणावै सै, ज्यांतै हम जाणणा चाहवां सां के इनका के मतलब सै।”
21 For all the Athenians and resident strangers have leisure for nothing else than to tell or to hear some new thing.
(ज्यांतै के सारे एथेंसवासी अर परदेशी जो ओड़ै रहवै थे, नयी-नयी बात कहण अर सुणण कै सिवाए और किसे काम म्ह बखत कोनी बितावैं थे।)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars hill, and said: Men of Athens, I perceive that in all respects your reverence for demons excels that of other men.
फेर पौलुस नै अरियुपगुस कै बिचाळै खड़े होकै कह्या, “हे एथेंस के माणसों, मै देक्खूँ सूं के थम हर बात म्ह देवत्यां के घणे मानण आळे सो।
23 For as I was passing through, and looking attentively at the objects of your worship, I dis covered also an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him I make known to you.
क्यूँके मै हांडदे होए जिब थारी पूज्जण की चिज्जां नै देखण लागरया था, तो एक इसी वेदी भी मिली, जिसपै लिख्या था, ‘अनजाणे ईश्वर कै खात्तर।’ इस करकै जिसनै थम बिना बेरे पूज्जो सो, मै थमनै उस्से परमेसवर का सुसमाचार सुणाऊँ सूं।”
24 God, who made the world, and all things that are in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands;
जिस परमेसवर नै धरती अर उसकी सारी चिज्जां ताहीं बणाया, वो सुर्ग अर धरती का माल्लिक होकै, हाथ के बणाए होड़ मन्दरां म्ह कोनी रहन्दा,
25 nor is he ministered to by the hands of men, as if he needed any thing: for he himself gives to all life, and breath, and all things:
उसनै माणसां की जरूरत कोनी, क्यूँके वो तो खुदे सारया ताहीं जिन्दगी अर साँस अर सारा किमे देवै सै।
26 and he has made from one blood every nation of men, that they might dwell on all the face of the earth, having marked out their appointed times, and the bounds of their dwelling:
उसनै एक ए मूल तै माणसां की सारी जात सारी धरती पै रहण कै खात्तर बणाई सै, अर उनकै ठहराए होड़ बखत अर रहण या निवास की हदां ताहीं ज्यांतै बाँधया सै,
27 that they might seek for God, if perhaps they would feel after him, and find him, although, indeed, he is not far from every one of us.
के वे परमेसवर नै टोहवै, कदाचित उस ताहीं टटोळकै पावै, फेरभी वो म्हारै म्ह तै किसे तै दूर कोनी।
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being: as also some of your own poets have said: For we his offspring are.
क्यूँके उस्से म्ह म्हारा जीवन, चलणा-फिरणा अर म्हारी पहचान बणै सै, जिस ढाळ थारे कितने कवियाँ नै भी कह्या सै, “हम तो उस्से के वंशज सां।”
29 Therefore, being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhood is like gold, or silver, or stone, sculptured by art and the device of man.
“इस करकै म्ह परमेसवर का वंश होकै म्हारा यो समझणा सही कोनी के ईश्वरत्व सोन्ने-चाँदी, पत्थर के जिसा सै, जो माणसां की कारीगरी अर कल्पना तै गढ़े गये हों।
30 Yet the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now, he commands all men everywhere to repent:
ज्यांतै परमेसवर नै अज्ञानता के बखत पै खियास कोनी करी, पर इब हरेक जगहां सारे माणसां ताहीं पाप छोड़ण का हुकम देवै सै।
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world, in righteousness, by the man whom he has chosen, giving to all assurance of this, by having raised him from the dead.
क्यूँके उसनै एक दिन तय करया सै, जिसम्ह वो धार्मिकता म्ह खुद के जरिये ठहराया गये उस माणस के जरिये दुनिया का न्याय करैगा, जिन ताहीं उसनै मरे होया म्ह तै दुबारा जिन्दा करकै या बात सारे माणसां के स्याम्ही साबित कर दी सै।”
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; others said: We will hear you again concerning this matter.
मरे होया के पुनरुत्थान की बात सुणकै कुछ तो मखौल करण लाग्गे, अर कुछां नै कह्या, “या बात हम तेरे तै फेर कदे सुणांगें।”
33 And so Paul departed from among them.
इसपै पौलुस उनकै बिचाळै तै लिकड़ग्या।
34 But certain men associated with him, and believed; among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
पर कई माणस प्रभु यीशु कै गेल्या मिलगे, अर बिश्वास करया, जिन म्ह दियुनुसियुस जो अरियुपगुस का सदस्य था, अर दमरिस नामकी एक लुगाई थी, अर उनकै गेल्या कुछ और भी माणस थे।
