Acts 24
1 And after five days, Ananias the chief priest came down with the elders and a certain orator, Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul.
पाँच दिन कै पाच्छै हनन्याह महायाजक कई यहूदी अगुवें अर तिरतुल्लुस नामक किसे वकील नै गेल्या लेकै कैसरिया नगर आ पोहचे। उननै राज्यपाल कै स्याम्ही पौलुस कि बुराई करी।
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying:
जिब पौलुस बुलाया गया तो तिरतुल्लुस उसपै इल्जाम लाकै कहण लाग्या: “हे महामहिम फेलिक्स, तेरे जरिये हम राज्जी-खुशी सां, अर तेरे इन्तजाम तै इस जात कै खात्तर घणीए बुराईयाँ सुधरदी जावै सै।
3 Since through you we enjoy great quietness, and since whatever has been undertaken for this nation has been conducted to a successful issue by your foresight at all times and in all places, we accept it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
इस ताहीं हम हरेक जगहां अर हरेक तरियां तै धन्यवाद कै गैल मान्नां सां।
4 But that I may not detain you longer, I beseech you to hear us, in your clemency, a few words.
मै तेरा और ज्यादा बखत कोनी लेऊँ, मै तेरे तै बिनती करुँ सूं के दया करकै दो-एक बात सुण ले।”
5 For we have found this man a pest and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
“बात या सै के इस माणस ताहीं हमनै एक उत्पाती के रूप म्ह पाया सै, सारी दुनिया के यहूदिया परदेस म्ह इसनै दंगे भड़काए सै, यो नासरियाँ के पंथ का नेता सै।
6 He also attempted to profane the temple; and we took him, and wished to judge him according to our law.
उसनै मन्दर ताहीं अशुद्ध करणा चाह्या, पर हमनै उस ताहीं पकड़ लिया। (हमनै उस ताहीं अपणे नियम-कायदे कै मुताबिक सजा दे दी होन्दी,
7 But Lysias the officer came, and, with much violence, took him out of our hands,
पर पलटन के सरदार लूसियास नै उस ताहीं हाँगै तै म्हारै हाथ तै खोस लिया,
8 and commanded his accusers to come before you. From him you may be able yourself, by examination, to gain a knowledge of all these tilings of which we accuse him.
अर बैरियाँ ताहीं तेरे स्याम्ही आण का हुकम दिया।) इन सारी बात्तां नै जिनकै बारै म्ह हम उसपै इल्जाम लावां सां, तू खुदे ए उसनै जाँच करकै जाण लेवैगा।”
9 And the Jews united in accusing him, saying that these things were so.
यहूदियाँ नै भी उसका साथ देकै कह्या, ये बात इस्से ढाळ तै करी सै।
10 Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: Knowing that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully offer a defense for myself:
जिब राज्यपाल नै पौलुस ताहीं बोल्लण का इशारा करया, तो उसनै जवाब दिया: “मै न्यू जाणकै के तू घणे साल्लां तै इस जात का न्याय करण लागरया सै, खुशी तै अपणा बदले का जवाब देऊँ सूं।
11 for you can understand that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
तू आप्पे ए जाण सकै सै जिब तै मै यरुशलेम नगर के मन्दर म्ह आराधना करण नै आया, मन्नै बारहा दिनां तै बाध कोनी होए,
12 And they found me neither disputing with any one in the temple, nor exciting the multitude in the synagogue, or in the city:
उननै मेरै ताहीं ना मन्दर म्ह, ना आराधनालयाँ म्ह, ना किसे नगर म्ह किसे तै बहस करदे या भीड़ लगांदे पाया,
13 nor are they able to prove the things of which they now accuse me.
अर ना तो वे उन बात्तां ताहीं, जिनका वे इब मेरै पै दोष लावै सै, तेरे स्याम्ही साच्ची साबित कर सकै सै।
14 But this I confess to you, that after the way which they call sect, so do I worship the God of my fathers; believing all things that are written in the law and in the prophets;
पर मै तेरे स्याम्ही यो मान ल्यु सूं के जिस पन्थ नै वे बुरा पन्थ कहवै सै, उस्से की रीत पै मै अपणे बाप-दाद्या के परमेसवर की सेवा करुँ सूं, अर जो बात नियम-कायदे अर नबियाँ की किताबां म्ह लिक्खी सै, उन सारया पै बिश्वास करुँ सूं।
15 having hope in God, which they themselves also admit, that I there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust.
अर परमेसवर तै आस राक्खूँ सूं जो वे खुद भी राक्खै सै, के धर्मी अर अधर्मी दोनुआ का जिन्दा उठणा होवैगा।
16 And I do exercise myself in this, always to have a conscience void of offense toward God and man.
इसतै मै खुद भी कोशिश करुँ सूं के परमेसवर की, अर माणसां की ओड़ तै मेरा मन सारी-हाण बेकसूर रहवै।”
17 But, after many years, I came to bring charitable gifts to my nation, and offerings.
“घणे साल्लां पाच्छै मै गरीबां नै दान पोहोचाण, अर भेंट चढ़ाण आया था।
18 While engaged in these things, certain Jews from Asia found me fulfilling my vow of abstinence in the temple, not with a multitude, nor with tumult.
उस्से बखत इननै मेरै ताहीं मन्दर म्ह, शुद्ध होण की रीति पूरी करते देख्या, ओड़ै ना कोए भीड़ थी, अर ना ए किसे ढाळ का शोर, पर ओड़ै आसिया परदेस के कई यहूदी थे
19 These ought to be here before you, and bring their charge, if they have any, against me.
जै मेरै बिरोध म्ह उनकै धोरै कोए बात कहण की हो तो उरै तेरे स्याम्ही आकै मेरै पै इल्जाम लांदे।
20 Or let these persons here say, what offensive conduct they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrim,
या ये खुद ए बतावै के जिब मै यहूदी अगुवां की सभा कै स्याम्ही खड्या था, तो उननै मेरै म्ह कौण सा कसूर पाया?
21 except in this one expression, which I uttered while standing among them: With respect to the resurrection I of the dead, I am judged by you this day.
इस एक बात नै छोड़ जो मन्नै उनकै बिचाळै खड्या होकै कही थी: ‘मरे होया के जिन्दा उठण कै बारै म्ह आज मेरा थारे स्याम्ही मुकद्दमा होण लागरया सै।’”
22 But Felix, having a more accurate knowledge of this way, put them off, and said: When Lysias the officer comes down, I will inquire fully into your matters.
फेलिक्स नै, जो इस पन्थ की बात सही-सही जाणै था, उन ताहीं न्यू कहकै टाळ दिया, “जिब पलटन का सरदार लूसियास आवैगा, तो थारी बात का फैसला करुँगा।”
23 And he commanded the centurion to keep him under guard, and to relax the rigor of his confinement, and to forbid no one of his friends to minister or to come to him.
उसनै सूबेदार ताहीं हुकम दिया के पौलुस ताहीं जेळ म्ह तो राख्या जावै पर उस ताहीं इतनी छूट जरुर दी जावै के उसके खास साथी आकै उसकी सेवा कर सकै।
24 And, after some days, Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
कुछ दिनां पाच्छै फेलिक्स हाकिम अपणी घरआळी दुसिल्ला ताहीं, जो यहूदी थी, गेल्या लेकै आया अर पौलुस ताहीं बुलवाकै उस बिश्वास कै बारै म्ह जो मसीह यीशु पै सै, उसतै सुण्या।
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered: For the present withdraw; when I have a convenient season, I will call for you.
जिब पौलुस धर्म, अर संयम, अर आण आळे न्याय का जिक्र करण लागरया था, तो फेलिक्स नै भयभीत होकै जवाब दिया, “इब तो जा, मौक्का मिल तिए मै तन्नै दुबारा बुलवाऊँगा।”
26 He hoped, at the same time, that money would have been given him by Paul, to release him. For this reason, he sent for him very frequently, and conversed with him.
फेलिक्स ताहीं पौलुस तै कुछ रपिये मिलण की भी आस थी, ज्यांतै और भी बुला-बुलाकै उसतै बात करया करै था।
27 But, after two years, Felix received Portius Festus as his successor; and Felix, wishing to confer a favor on the Jews, left Paul bound.
पर जिब दो साल बीतगे तो पुरकियुस फेस्तुस, फेलिक्स की जगहां पै आया, अर फेलिक्स यहूदियाँ ताहीं राज्जी करण की मर्जी तै पौलुस ताहीं कैदी ए छोड़ ग्या।
