Acts 22
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”
“मेरे ढ्लाव ते बुज़ुर्गाव, मेरी गल शुना, ज़ै अवं अपनि सफैई मां पैश लोरोईं केरने।”
2 When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more silent. Then Paul declared,
ज़ैखन लोकेईं तैस करां इब्रानी भाषा ज़ोती शुनी त तैना च़ुप रेइजे, तैखन पौलुसे ज़ोवं:
3 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I am just as zealous for God as any of you here today.
“अवं त यहूदी आईं, ते अवं किलिकिया इलाकेरे तरसुस नगरे मां ज़रमो, पन इस नगर मां गमलीएल करां शिक्षा हासिल की, ते अपने दादां-पड़दादां केरे कानूने ठीक तरीके सेइं शिखोरीए, ते अवं भी परमेशरेरे लेइ एरो मघन थियो, ज़ेरे अज़ तुस आथ।
4 I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,
मीं मड़दन ते कुआन्शन बेंधतां, ते कैद केरतां, ई पंथ इड़ी तगर सताए, ते तैना माराए भी।
5 as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.
एप्पू महायाजक ते सब बुज़ुर्ग एस गल्लरे गवाह आन, कि मीं दमिश्क नगरे मां रानेबाले यहूदी ढ्लां केरे लेइ चिट्ठी एन्होरी थी, ते अवं तैड़ी एस नीती सेइं जोरो थियो, ते ज़ैना तैड़ी भोन तैन सज़ा देनेरे लेइ बेन्धतां यरूशलेम नगरे जो नेही।”
6 About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.
“अवं ज़ैखन सफर केरते-केरते दमिश्क नगरेरे नेड़े पुज़ो, त तै दुपाहरां केरो मौको थियो। ते अम्बरेरां अक बड़ी लौ आई ते मेरे च़ेव्रे पासन बलने लगी।
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’
ते अवं तल्ले बिछ़ड़ी जेव, ते मीं अक आवाज़ शुनी, ज़ै मींजो ज़ोने लोरी थी, हे शाऊल, हे शाऊल तू मीं किजो स्तातस?
8 ‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ He replied.
त मीं पुच़्छ़ू, हे प्रभु तू कौन आस? त तैनी मींजो जुवाब दित्तो, अवं यीशु नासरी आईं, ज़ैस तू सतातस।
9 My companions saw the light, but they could not understand the voice of the One speaking to me.
मेरे सैथेईं लौ त लाई पन तैन कोई गल न समझ़ी, कि तै आवाज़ मीं सेइं कुन लोरीए ज़ोने?
10 Then I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ ‘Get up and go into Damascus,’ He told me. ‘There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.’
त मीं पुच़्छ़ू, हे प्रभु अवं कुन कम्मेईं, प्रभुए ज़ोवं, उठ दमिश्क नगरे मां गा तैड़ी तीं ज़ैन तेरे केरनेरे लेइ रखेरुए तैड़ी तीं सेइं ज़ोवं गालू।
11 Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus.
मेरे सैथेईं अवं हथ्थेरां ट्लेइतां दमिश्क नगर मां पुज़ाव। किजोकि तैस बड़े महिमारे वजाई सेइं मीं किछ न लेइयोवं।”
12 There a man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there,
“तैड़ी अक मैन्हु हनन्याह नव्वेंरो कानूनेरे मुताबिक भक्त मैन्हु अव, ते तैट्ठेरे यहूदन मां बड़ो इज़्ज़तदार थियो।
13 came and stood beside me. ‘Brother Saul,’ he said, ‘receive your sight.’ And at that moment I could see him.
तै मीं कां खड़ो भोइतां ज़ोने लगो, हे ढ्ला, शाऊल, अपनि एछ़्छ़ी खोल्ल, ते मेरी एछ़्छ़ी तैखने खुल्ली जेई, ते अवं तैस लहने लगो।
14 Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear His voice.
तैखन तैनी ज़ोवं, इश्शे बुज़ुरगां केरे परमेशरे तू च़ुनोरोस, ताके तू तैसेरी मर्ज़ी पूरी केरस ते मसीह लास ते तैसेरी गल्लां शुनस।
15 You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard.
किजोकि तू सैरी लोकन मां तैसेरो गवाह भोलो, ते तैन ज़ोलो कि तीं कुन लाहेरूए ते कुन शुनेरूए।
16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’
हुनी च़िर किजो लातस? उठ, ते बपतिस्मो ने ते तेरे पाप माफ़ भोन।”
17 Later, when I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance
“ते ज़ैखन अवं यरूशलेम नगरे मां वापस अव, ते अवं मन्दरे मां प्रार्थना केरने लोरो थियो, त मीं दर्शन लावं।
18 and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your testimony about Me.’
ते तै लाव ते एन ज़ोतू शुनू कि लूश केर, ते यरूशलेम नगरे मरां लूशी निस, किजोकि एना लोक मेरे बारे मां तेरी गवाही कबूल न केरेले।
19 ‘Lord,’ I answered, ‘they know very well that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in You.
मीं ज़ोवं, हे प्रभु एना लोक ज़ानतन कि अवं हर प्रार्थना घरे मां गातो थियो, ते केन्च़रे अवं तेरे मन्ने बालन कैद केरतो ते कुटतो थियो।
20 And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’
ते ज़ैखन तेरे गवाह स्तिफनुस मारने लोरे थिये, त अवं भी तैड़ी थियो, ते तैसेरे मारने मां खुशी थियो। ते अवं मारने बालां केरां लिगड़ां पहरतो थियो।
21 Then He said to me, ‘Go! I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”
ते प्रभुए मीं सेइं ज़ोवं, ‘गा अवं तीं गैर कौमन कां दूर-दूर भेज़ेलो।’”
22 The crowd listened to Paul until he made this statement. Then they lifted up their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He is not fit to live!”
सारे लोक तैसेरी गल्लां शुन्ने लोरे थिये, पन ज़ैखन तै इड़ी तगर पुज़ो त सारे लोक ज़ोरे-ज़ोरे चिन्डां मारने लगे, “ए ज़ींतो रखनेरे काबल नईं!” एस मार।
23 As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,
ज़ैखन लोकां केरि शौर ते चिन्डां च़ेलती रेइ, त तैना चोगे शैरतां धूड़ आसमाने उडारने लगे।
24 the commander ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. He directed that Paul be flogged and interrogated to determine the reason for this outcry against him.
त फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे पौलुस किल्लै मां नेनेरो हुक्म दित्तो, “एस कोड़ेइं सेइं बाथ ते एसेरू बियांन घिन्ना ताके पतो लगे, कि लोक किजो चिन्डां मारने लोरेन।”
25 But as they stretched him out to strap him down, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it lawful for you to flog a Roman citizen without a trial?”
ज़ैखन तैना कोड़ेइं सेइं बानेरे लेइ पौलुस रेसी सेइं बंधो, त तैनी एक्की सूबेदारे सेइं ज़ोवं ज़ै तैड़ी नेड़े थियो। “कुन अक रोमी नगरेरे मैन्हु बगैर कसूरे झ़ुसनो जेइज़े?”
26 On hearing this, the centurion went and reported it to the commander. “What are you going to do?” he said. “This man is a Roman citizen.”
ज़ैखन तैनी सूबेदारे एन शुनू त तै फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे कां जेव, “तू कुन ज़ोतस? ए त अक रोमी मैनूए।”
27 The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes,” he answered.
फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे पौलुसे कां एइतां पुच़्छ़ू, “कुन तू रोमीस?” तैनी ज़ोवं, “हाँ।”
28 “I paid a high price for my citizenship,” said the commander. “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
इन शुन्तां फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे ज़ोवं, “कि मीं रोमी भोनेरी पदवी बड़े पेंइसे देइतां हासिल कियोरीए।” ते पौलुसे ज़ोवं, “पन अवं त ज़र्मनेरो रोमी।”
29 Then those who were about to interrogate Paul stepped back, and the commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains.
ज़ैना लोक पौलुसेरू बियांन घिन्ने बाले थिये, तैना नेश्शी जे, फौजी पलटनरे सरदारे भी इन बुझ़तां कि ई रोमीए, ते तैनी तै बंधो, ते डेरि जेव।
30 The next day the commander, wanting to learn the real reason Paul was accused by the Jews, released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
होरसां तै ठीक-ठीक ज़ान्नेरी इच्छा सेइं कि यहूदी तैस पुड़ किजो दोष लातन, एल्हेरेलेइ तैनी तै खोल्लो, ते प्रधान याजक ते सारी महासभा अकोट्ठी केरनेरो हुक्म दित्तो, ते पौलुस बुन गेइतां तैन केरे सामने खड़ो कियो।
