Acts 1
1 I have given an earlier account, O Theophilus, of all the things which Jesus did, and of his teaching from the first,
hE thiyaphila, yIzuH svamanOnItAn prEritAn pavitrENAtmanA samAdizya yasmin dinE svargamArOhat yAM yAM kriyAmakarOt yadyad upAdizacca tAni sarvvANi pUrvvaM mayA likhitAni|
2 Till the day when he was taken up to heaven after he had given his orders, through the Holy Spirit, to the Apostles of whom he had made selection:
sa svanidhanaduHkhabhOgAt param anEkapratyayakSapramANauH svaM sajIvaM darzayitvA
3 And to whom he gave clear and certain signs that he was living, after his death; for he was seen by them for forty days, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God:
catvAriMzaddinAni yAvat tEbhyaH prEritEbhyO darzanaM dattvEzvarIyarAjyasya varNanama akarOt|
4 And when they were all together, with him, he gave them orders not to go away from Jerusalem, but to keep there, waiting till the word of the Father was put into effect, of which, he said, I have given you knowledge:
anantaraM tESAM sabhAM kRtvA ityAjnjApayat, yUyaM yirUzAlamO'nyatra gamanamakRtvA yastin pitrAggIkRtE mama vadanAt kathA azRNuta tatprAptim apEkSya tiSThata|
5 For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.
yOhan jalE majjitAvAn kintvalpadinamadhyE yUyaM pavitra Atmani majjitA bhaviSyatha|
6 So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?
pazcAt tE sarvvE militvA tam apRcchan hE prabhO bhavAn kimidAnIM punarapi rAjyam isrAyElIyalOkAnAM karESu samarpayiSyati?
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.
tataH sOvadat yAn sarvvAn kAlAn samayAMzca pitA svavazE'sthApayat tAn jnjAtRM yuSmAkam adhikArO na jAyatE|
8 But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
kintu yuSmAsu pavitrasyAtmana AvirbhAvE sati yUyaM zaktiM prApya yirUzAlami samastayihUdAzOmirONadEzayOH pRthivyAH sImAM yAvad yAvantO dEzAstESu yarvvESu ca mayi sAkSyaM dAsyatha|
9 And when he had said these things, while they were looking, he was taken up, and went from their view into a cloud.
iti vAkyamuktvA sa tESAM samakSaM svargaM nItO'bhavat, tatO mEghamAruhya tESAM dRSTEragOcarO'bhavat|
10 And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,
yasmin samayE tE vihAyasaM pratyananyadRSTyA tasya tAdRzam Urdvvagamanam apazyan tasminnEva samayE zuklavastrau dvau janau tESAM sannidhau daNPAyamAnau kathitavantau,
11 And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.
hE gAlIlIyalOkA yUyaM kimarthaM gagaNaM prati nirIkSya daNPAyamAnAstiSThatha? yuSmAkaM samIpAt svargaM nItO yO yIzustaM yUyaM yathA svargam ArOhantam adarzam tathA sa punazcAgamiSyati|
12 Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
tataH paraM tE jaitunanAmnaH parvvatAd vizrAmavArasya pathaH parimANam arthAt prAyENArddhakrOzaM durasthaM yirUzAlamnagaraM parAvRtyAgacchan|
13 And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.
nagaraM pravizya pitarO yAkUb yOhan AndriyaH philipaH thOmA barthajamayO mathirAlphIyaputrO yAkUb udyOgA zimOn yAkUbO bhrAtA yihUdA EtE sarvvE yatra sthAnE pravasanti tasmin uparitanaprakOSThE prAvizan|
14 And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
pazcAd imE kiyatyaH striyazca yIzO rmAtA mariyam tasya bhrAtarazcaitE sarvva EkacittIbhUta satataM vinayEna vinayEna prArthayanta|
15 And in those days Peter got up among the brothers (there were about one hundred and twenty of them), and said,
tasmin samayE tatra sthAnE sAkalyEna viMzatyadhikazataM ziSyA Asan| tataH pitarastESAM madhyE tiSThan uktavAn
16 My brothers, the word of God had to be put into effect, which the Holy Spirit had said before, by the mouth of David, about Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus,
hE bhrAtRgaNa yIzudhAriNAM lOkAnAM pathadarzakO yO yihUdAstasmin dAyUdA pavitra AtmA yAM kathAM kathayAmAsa tasyAH pratyakSIbhavanasyAvazyakatvam AsIt|
17 For he was numbered among us, and had his part in our work.
sa janO'smAkaM madhyavarttI san asyAH sEvAyA aMzam alabhata|
18 (Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.
tadanantaraM kukarmmaNA labdhaM yanmUlyaM tEna kSEtramEkaM krItam aparaM tasmin adhOmukhE bhRmau patitE sati tasyOdarasya vidIrNatvAt sarvvA nAPyO niragacchan|
19 And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
EtAM kathAM yirUzAlamnivAsinaH sarvvE lOkA vidAnti; tESAM nijabhASayA tatkSEtranjca hakaldAmA, arthAt raktakSEtramiti vikhyAtamAstE|
20 For in the book of Psalms it says, Let his house be waste, and let no man be living in it: and, Let his position be taken by another.
anyacca, nikEtanaM tadIyantu zunyamEva bhaviSyati| tasya dUSyE nivAsArthaM kOpi sthAsyati naiva hi| anya Eva janastasya padaM saMprApsyati dhruvaM| itthaM gItapustakE likhitamAstE|
21 For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
atO yOhanO majjanam ArabhyAsmAkaM samIpAt prabhO ryIzOH svargArOhaNadinaM yAvat sOsmAkaM madhyE yAvanti dinAni yApitavAn
22 Starting from the baptism of John till he went up from us, one will have to be a witness with us of his coming back from death.
tAvanti dinAni yE mAnavA asmAbhiH sArddhaM tiSThanti tESAm EkEna janEnAsmAbhiH sArddhaM yIzOrutthAnE sAkSiNA bhavitavyaM|
23 And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.
atO yasya rUPhi ryuSTO yaM barzabbEtyuktvAhUyanti sa yUSaph matathizca dvAvEtau pRthak kRtvA ta Izvarasya sannidhau prAryya kathitavantaH,
24 And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,
hE sarvvAntaryyAmin paramEzvara, yihUdAH sEvanaprEritatvapadacyutaH
25 To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.
san nijasthAnam agacchat, tatpadaM labdhum EnayO rjanayO rmadhyE bhavatA kO'bhirucitastadasmAn darzyatAM|
26 And they put it to the decision of chance, and the decision was given for Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
