Acts 1
1 In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
he thiyaphila, yīśuḥ svamanonītān preritān pavitreṇātmanā samādiśya yasmin dine svargamārohat yāṁ yāṁ kriyāmakarot yadyad upādiśacca tāni sarvvāṇi pūrvvaṁ mayā likhitāni|
2 until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
sa svanidhanaduḥkhabhogāt param anekapratyayakṣapramāṇauḥ svaṁ sajīvaṁ darśayitvā
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.
catvāriṁśaddināni yāvat tebhyaḥ preritebhyo darśanaṁ dattveśvarīyarājyasya varṇanama akarot|
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.
anantaraṁ teṣāṁ sabhāṁ kṛtvā ityājñāpayat, yūyaṁ yirūśālamo'nyatra gamanamakṛtvā yastin pitrāṅgīkṛte mama vadanāt kathā aśṛṇuta tatprāptim apekṣya tiṣṭhata|
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
yohan jale majjitāvān kintvalpadinamadhye yūyaṁ pavitra ātmani majjitā bhaviṣyatha|
6 So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
paścāt te sarvve militvā tam apṛcchan he prabho bhavān kimidānīṁ punarapi rājyam isrāyelīyalokānāṁ kareṣu samarpayiṣyati?
7 Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
tataḥ sovadat yān sarvvān kālān samayāṁśca pitā svavaśe'sthāpayat tān jñātṛṁ yuṣmākam adhikāro na jāyate|
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.”
kintu yuṣmāsu pavitrasyātmana āvirbhāve sati yūyaṁ śaktiṁ prāpya yirūśālami samastayihūdāśomiroṇadeśayoḥ pṛthivyāḥ sīmāṁ yāvad yāvanto deśāsteṣu yarvveṣu ca mayi sākṣyaṁ dāsyatha|
9 After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
iti vākyamuktvā sa teṣāṁ samakṣaṁ svargaṁ nīto'bhavat, tato meghamāruhya teṣāṁ dṛṣṭeragocaro'bhavat|
10 They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
yasmin samaye te vihāyasaṁ pratyananyadṛṣṭyā tasya tādṛśam ūrdvvagamanam apaśyan tasminneva samaye śuklavastrau dvau janau teṣāṁ sannidhau daṇḍāyamānau kathitavantau,
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.”
he gālīlīyalokā yūyaṁ kimarthaṁ gagaṇaṁ prati nirīkṣya daṇḍāyamānāstiṣṭhatha? yuṣmākaṁ samīpāt svargaṁ nīto yo yīśustaṁ yūyaṁ yathā svargam ārohantam adarśam tathā sa punaścāgamiṣyati|
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
tataḥ paraṁ te jaitunanāmnaḥ parvvatād viśrāmavārasya pathaḥ parimāṇam arthāt prāyeṇārddhakrośaṁ durasthaṁ yirūśālamnagaraṁ parāvṛtyāgacchan|
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.
nagaraṁ praviśya pitaro yākūb yohan āndriyaḥ philipaḥ thomā barthajamayo mathirālphīyaputro yākūb udyogā śimon yākūbo bhrātā yihūdā ete sarvve yatra sthāne pravasanti tasmin uparitanaprakoṣṭhe prāviśan|
14 With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
paścād ime kiyatyaḥ striyaśca yīśo rmātā mariyam tasya bhrātaraścaite sarvva ekacittībhūta satataṁ vinayena vinayena prārthayanta|
15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
tasmin samaye tatra sthāne sākalyena viṁśatyadhikaśataṁ śiṣyā āsan| tataḥ pitarasteṣāṁ madhye tiṣṭhan uktavān
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.
he bhrātṛgaṇa yīśudhāriṇāṁ lokānāṁ pathadarśako yo yihūdāstasmin dāyūdā pavitra ātmā yāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa tasyāḥ pratyakṣībhavanasyāvaśyakatvam āsīt|
17 He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
sa jano'smākaṁ madhyavarttī san asyāḥ sevāyā aṁśam alabhata|
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.
tadanantaraṁ kukarmmaṇā labdhaṁ yanmūlyaṁ tena kṣetramekaṁ krītam aparaṁ tasmin adhomukhe bhṛmau patite sati tasyodarasya vidīrṇatvāt sarvvā nāḍyo niragacchan|
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.)
etāṁ kathāṁ yirūśālamnivāsinaḥ sarvve lokā vidānti; teṣāṁ nijabhāṣayā tatkṣetrañca hakaldāmā, arthāt raktakṣetramiti vikhyātamāste|
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.’
anyacca, niketanaṁ tadīyantu śunyameva bhaviṣyati| tasya dūṣye nivāsārthaṁ kopi sthāsyati naiva hi| anya eva janastasya padaṁ saṁprāpsyati dhruvaṁ| itthaṁ gītapustake likhitamāste|
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,
ato yohano majjanam ārabhyāsmākaṁ samīpāt prabho ryīśoḥ svargārohaṇadinaṁ yāvat sosmākaṁ madhye yāvanti dināni yāpitavān
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.”
tāvanti dināni ye mānavā asmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ tiṣṭhanti teṣām ekena janenāsmābhiḥ sārddhaṁ yīśorutthāne sākṣiṇā bhavitavyaṁ|
23 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
ato yasya rūḍhi ryuṣṭo yaṁ barśabbetyuktvāhūyanti sa yūṣaph matathiśca dvāvetau pṛthak kṛtvā ta īśvarasya sannidhau prāryya kathitavantaḥ,
24 And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
he sarvvāntaryyāmin parameśvara, yihūdāḥ sevanapreritatvapadacyutaḥ
25 to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
san nijasthānam agacchat, tatpadaṁ labdhum enayo rjanayo rmadhye bhavatā ko'bhirucitastadasmān darśyatāṁ|
26 Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
tato guṭikāpāṭe kṛte matathirniracīyata tasmāt sonyeṣām ekādaśānāṁ praritānāṁ madhye gaṇitobhavat|
