Acts 1
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
हे थियफिल, यीशुः स्वमनोनीतान् प्रेरितान् पवित्रेणात्मना समादिश्य यस्मिन् दिने स्वर्गमारोहत् यां यां क्रियामकरोत् यद्यद् उपादिशच्च तानि सर्व्वाणि पूर्व्वं मया लिखितानि।
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
स स्वनिधनदुःखभोगात् परम् अनेकप्रत्ययक्षप्रमाणौः स्वं सजीवं दर्शयित्वा
3 After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
चत्वारिंशद्दिनानि यावत् तेभ्यः प्रेरितेभ्यो दर्शनं दत्त्वेश्वरीयराज्यस्य वर्णनम अकरोत्।
4 And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
अनन्तरं तेषां सभां कृत्वा इत्याज्ञापयत्, यूयं यिरूशालमोऽन्यत्र गमनमकृत्वा यस्तिन् पित्राङ्गीकृते मम वदनात् कथा अशृणुत तत्प्राप्तिम् अपेक्ष्य तिष्ठत।
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
योहन् जले मज्जितावान् किन्त्वल्पदिनमध्ये यूयं पवित्र आत्मनि मज्जिता भविष्यथ।
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
पश्चात् ते सर्व्वे मिलित्वा तम् अपृच्छन् हे प्रभो भवान् किमिदानीं पुनरपि राज्यम् इस्रायेलीयलोकानां करेषु समर्पयिष्यति?
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
ततः सोवदत् यान् सर्व्वान् कालान् समयांश्च पिता स्ववशेऽस्थापयत् तान् ज्ञातृं युष्माकम् अधिकारो न जायते।
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
किन्तु युष्मासु पवित्रस्यात्मन आविर्भावे सति यूयं शक्तिं प्राप्य यिरूशालमि समस्तयिहूदाशोमिरोणदेशयोः पृथिव्याः सीमां यावद् यावन्तो देशास्तेषु यर्व्वेषु च मयि साक्ष्यं दास्यथ।
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
इति वाक्यमुक्त्वा स तेषां समक्षं स्वर्गं नीतोऽभवत्, ततो मेघमारुह्य तेषां दृष्टेरगोचरोऽभवत्।
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
यस्मिन् समये ते विहायसं प्रत्यनन्यदृष्ट्या तस्य तादृशम् ऊर्द्व्वगमनम् अपश्यन् तस्मिन्नेव समये शुक्लवस्त्रौ द्वौ जनौ तेषां सन्निधौ दण्डायमानौ कथितवन्तौ,
11 “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
हे गालीलीयलोका यूयं किमर्थं गगणं प्रति निरीक्ष्य दण्डायमानास्तिष्ठथ? युष्माकं समीपात् स्वर्गं नीतो यो यीशुस्तं यूयं यथा स्वर्गम् आरोहन्तम् अदर्शम् तथा स पुनश्चागमिष्यति।
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
ततः परं ते जैतुननाम्नः पर्व्वताद् विश्रामवारस्य पथः परिमाणम् अर्थात् प्रायेणार्द्धक्रोशं दुरस्थं यिरूशालम्नगरं परावृत्यागच्छन्।
13 When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
नगरं प्रविश्य पितरो याकूब् योहन् आन्द्रियः फिलिपः थोमा बर्थजमयो मथिराल्फीयपुत्रो याकूब् उद्योगाी शिमोन् याकूबो भ्राता यिहूदा एते सर्व्वे यत्र स्थाने प्रवसन्ति तस्मिन् उपरितनप्रकोष्ठे प्राविशन्।
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
पश्चाद् इमे कियत्यः स्त्रियश्च यीशो र्माता मरियम् तस्य भ्रातरश्चैते सर्व्व एकचित्तीभूत सततं विनयेन विनयेन प्रार्थयन्त।
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
तस्मिन् समये तत्र स्थाने साकल्येन विंशत्यधिकशतं शिष्या आसन्। ततः पितरस्तेषां मध्ये तिष्ठन् उक्तवान्
16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
हे भ्रातृगण यीशुधारिणां लोकानां पथदर्शको यो यिहूदास्तस्मिन् दायूदा पवित्र आत्मा यां कथां कथयामास तस्याः प्रत्यक्षीभवनस्यावश्यकत्वम् आसीत्।
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
स जनोऽस्माकं मध्यवर्त्ती सन् अस्याः सेवाया अंशम् अलभत।
18 (Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
तदनन्तरं कुकर्म्मणा लब्धं यन्मूल्यं तेन क्षेत्रमेकं क्रीतम् अपरं तस्मिन् अधोमुखे भृमौ पतिते सति तस्योदरस्य विदीर्णत्वात् सर्व्वा नाड्यो निरगच्छन्।
19 This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
एतां कथां यिरूशालम्निवासिनः सर्व्वे लोका विदान्ति; तेषां निजभाषया तत्क्षेत्रञ्च हकल्दामा, अर्थात् रक्तक्षेत्रमिति विख्यातमास्ते।
20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
अन्यच्च, निकेतनं तदीयन्तु शुन्यमेव भविष्यति। तस्य दूष्ये निवासार्थं कोपि स्थास्यति नैव हि। अन्य एव जनस्तस्य पदं संप्राप्स्यति ध्रुवं। इत्थं गीतपुस्तके लिखितमास्ते।
21 Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
अतो योहनो मज्जनम् आरभ्यास्माकं समीपात् प्रभो र्यीशोः स्वर्गारोहणदिनं यावत् सोस्माकं मध्ये यावन्ति दिनानि यापितवान्
22 beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
तावन्ति दिनानि ये मानवा अस्माभिः सार्द्धं तिष्ठन्ति तेषाम् एकेन जनेनास्माभिः सार्द्धं यीशोरुत्थाने साक्षिणा भवितव्यं।
23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
अतो यस्य रूढि र्युष्टो यं बर्शब्बेत्युक्त्वाहूयन्ति स यूषफ् मतथिश्च द्वावेतौ पृथक् कृत्वा त ईश्वरस्य सन्निधौ प्रार्य्य कथितवन्तः,
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
हे सर्व्वान्तर्य्यामिन् परमेश्वर, यिहूदाः सेवनप्रेरितत्वपदच्युतः
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
सन् निजस्थानम् अगच्छत्, तत्पदं लब्धुम् एनयो र्जनयो र्मध्ये भवता कोऽभिरुचितस्तदस्मान् दर्श्यतां।
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
ततो गुटिकापाटे कृते मतथिर्निरचीयत तस्मात् सोन्येषाम् एकादशानां प्ररितानां मध्ये गणितोभवत्।
