Acts 11
1 The apostles and brothers throughout Judea soon heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
itthaṁ bhinnadeśīyalokā apīśvarasya vākyam agṛhlan imāṁ vārttāṁ yihūdīyadeśasthapreritā bhrātṛgaṇaśca śrutavantaḥ|
2 So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers took issue with him
tataḥ pitare yirūśālamnagaraṁ gatavati tvakchedino lokāstena saha vivadamānā avadan,
3 and said, “You visited uncircumcised men and ate with them.”
tvam atvakchedilokānāṁ gṛhaṁ gatvā taiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuktavān|
4 But Peter began and explained to them the whole sequence of events:
tataḥ pitara āditaḥ kramaśastatkāryyasya sarvvavṛttāntamākhyātum ārabdhavān|
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision of something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came right down to me.
yāphonagara ekadāhaṁ prārthayamāno mūrcchitaḥ san darśanena caturṣu koṇeṣu lambanamānaṁ vṛhadvastramiva pātramekam ākāśadavaruhya mannikaṭam āgacchad apaśyam|
6 I looked at it closely and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air.
paścāt tad ananyadṛṣṭyā dṛṣṭvā vivicya tasya madhye nānāprakārān grāmyavanyapaśūn urogāmikhecarāṁśca dṛṣṭavān;
7 Then I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Get up, Peter, kill and eat.’
he pitara tvamutthāya gatvā bhuṁkṣva māṁ sambodhya kathayantaṁ śabdamekaṁ śrutavāṁśca|
8 ‘No, Lord,’ I said, ‘for nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’
tatohaṁ pratyavadaṁ, he prabho netthaṁ bhavatu, yataḥ kiñcana niṣiddham aśuci dravyaṁ vā mama mukhamadhyaṁ kadāpi na prāviśat|
9 But the voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’
aparam īśvaro yat śuci kṛtavān tanniṣiddhaṁ na jānīhi dvi rmāmpratīdṛśī vihāyasīyā vāṇī jātā|
10 This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into heaven.
triritthaṁ sati tat sarvvaṁ punarākāśam ākṛṣṭaṁ|
11 Just then three men sent to me from Caesarea stopped at the house where I was staying.
paścāt kaisariyānagarāt trayo janā mannikaṭaṁ preṣitā yatra niveśane sthitohaṁ tasmin samaye tatropātiṣṭhan|
12 The Spirit told me to accompany them without hesitation. These six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man’s home.
tadā niḥsandehaṁ taiḥ sārddhaṁ yātum ātmā māmādiṣṭavān; tataḥ paraṁ mayā sahaiteṣu ṣaḍbhrātṛṣu gateṣu vayaṁ tasya manujasya gṛhaṁ prāviśāma|
13 He told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter.
sosmākaṁ nikaṭe kathāmetām akathayat ekadā dūta ekaḥ pratyakṣībhūya mama gṛhamadhye tiṣṭan māmityājñāpitavān, yāphonagaraṁ prati lokān prahitya pitaranāmnā vikhyātaṁ śimonam āhūyaya;
14 He will convey to you a message by which you and all your household will be saved.’
tatastava tvadīyaparivārāṇāñca yena paritrāṇaṁ bhaviṣyati tat sa upadekṣyati|
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.
ahaṁ tāṁ kathāmutthāpya kathitavān tena prathamam asmākam upari yathā pavitra ātmāvarūḍhavān tathā teṣāmapyupari samavarūḍhavān|
16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
tena yohan jale majjitavān iti satyaṁ kintu yūyaṁ pavitra ātmani majjitā bhaviṣyatha, iti yadvākyaṁ prabhuruditavān tat tadā mayā smṛtam|
17 So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”
ataḥ prabhā yīśukhrīṣṭe pratyayakāriṇo ye vayam asmabhyam īśvaro yad dattavān tat tebhyo lokebhyopi dattavān tataḥ kohaṁ? kimaham īśvaraṁ vārayituṁ śaknomi?
18 When they heard this, their objections were put to rest, and they glorified God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
kathāmetāṁ śruvā te kṣāntā īśvarasya guṇān anukīrttya kathitavantaḥ, tarhi paramāyuḥprāptinimittam īśvaronyadeśīyalokebhyopi manaḥparivarttanarūpaṁ dānam adāt|
19 Meanwhile those scattered by the persecution that began with Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the message only to Jews.
stiphānaṁ prati upadrave ghaṭite ye vikīrṇā abhavan tai phainīkīkuprāntiyakhiyāsu bhramitvā kevalayihūdīyalokān vinā kasyāpyanyasya samīpa īśvarasya kathāṁ na prācārayan|
20 But some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.
aparaṁ teṣāṁ kuprīyāḥ kurīnīyāśca kiyanto janā āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ gatvā yūnānīyalokānāṁ samīpepi prabhoryīśoḥ kathāṁ prācārayan|
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.
prabhoḥ karasteṣāṁ sahāya āsīt tasmād aneke lokā viśvasya prabhuṁ prati parāvarttanta|
22 When news of this reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
iti vārttāyāṁ yirūśālamasthamaṇḍalīyalokānāṁ karṇagocarībhūtāyām āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ gantu te barṇabbāṁ prairayan|
23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to abide in the Lord with all their hearts.
tato barṇabbāstatra upasthitaḥ san īśvarasyānugrahasya phalaṁ dṛṣṭvā sānando jātaḥ,
24 Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
sa svayaṁ sādhu rviśvāsena pavitreṇātmanā ca paripūrṇaḥ san ganoniṣṭayā prabhāvāsthāṁ karttuṁ sarvvān upadiṣṭavān tena prabhoḥ śiṣyā aneke babhūvuḥ|
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
śeṣe śaulaṁ mṛgayituṁ barṇabbāstārṣanagaraṁ prasthitavān| tatra tasyoddeśaṁ prāpya tam āntiyakhiyānagaram ānayat;
26 and when he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. So for a full year they met together with the church and taught large numbers of people. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.
tatastau maṇḍalīsthalokaiḥ sabhāṁ kṛtvā saṁvatsaramekaṁ yāvad bahulokān upādiśatāṁ; tasmin āntiyakhiyānagare śiṣyāḥ prathamaṁ khrīṣṭīyanāmnā vikhyātā abhavan|
27 In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
tataḥ paraṁ bhaviṣyadvādigaṇe yirūśālama āntiyakhiyānagaram āgate sati
28 One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted through the Spirit that a great famine would sweep across the whole world. (This happened under Claudius.)
āgābanāmā teṣāmeka utthāya ātmanaḥ śikṣayā sarvvadeśe durbhikṣaṁ bhaviṣyatīti jñāpitavān; tataḥ klaudiyakaisarasyādhikāre sati tat pratyakṣam abhavat|
29 So the disciples, each according to his ability, decided to send relief to the brothers living in Judea.
tasmāt śiṣyā ekaikaśaḥ svasvaśaktyanusārato yihūdīyadeśanivāsināṁ bhratṛṇāṁ dinayāpanārthaṁ dhanaṁ preṣayituṁ niścitya
30 This they did, sending their gifts to the elders with Barnabas and Saul.
barṇabbāśaulayo rdvārā prācīnalokānāṁ samīpaṁ tat preṣitavantaḥ|
