Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
karinthanagara āpallasaḥ sthitikālē paula uttarapradēśairāgacchan iphiṣanagaram upasthitavān| tatra katipayaśiṣyān sākṣat prāpya tān apr̥cchat,
2 he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].
yūyaṁ viśvasya pavitramātmānaṁ prāptā na vā? tatastē pratyavadan pavitra ātmā dīyatē ityasmābhiḥ śrutamapi nahi|
3 And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.
tadā sā'vadat tarhi yūyaṁ kēna majjitā abhavata? tē'kathayan yōhanō majjanēna|
4 And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.
tadā paula uktavān itaḥ paraṁ ya upasthāsyati tasmin arthata yīśukhrīṣṭē viśvasitavyamityuktvā yōhan manaḥparivarttanasūcakēna majjanēna jalē lōkān amajjayat|
5 And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.
tādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā tē prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā majjitā abhavan|
6 And Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
tataḥ paulēna tēṣāṁ gātrēṣu karē'rpitē tēṣāmupari pavitra ātmāvarūḍhavān, tasmāt tē nānādēśīyā bhāṣā bhaviṣyatkathāśca kathitavantaḥ|
7 And all the men were about twelve.
tē prāyēṇa dvādaśajanā āsan|
8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading [the things] concerning the kingdom of God.
paulō bhajanabhavanaṁ gatvā prāyēṇa māsatrayam īśvarasya rājyasya vicāraṁ kr̥tvā lōkān pravartya sāhasēna kathāmakathayat|
9 But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
kintu kaṭhināntaḥkaraṇatvāt kiyantō janā na viśvasya sarvvēṣāṁ samakṣam ētatpathasya nindāṁ karttuṁ pravr̥ttāḥ, ataḥ paulastēṣāṁ samīpāt prasthāya śiṣyagaṇaṁ pr̥thakkr̥tvā pratyahaṁ turānnanāmnaḥ kasyacit janasya pāṭhaśālāyāṁ vicāraṁ kr̥tavān|
10 And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
itthaṁ vatsaradvayaṁ gataṁ tasmād āśiyādēśanivāsinaḥ sarvvē yihūdīyā anyadēśīyalōkāśca prabhō ryīśōḥ kathām aśrauṣan|
11 And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
paulēna ca īśvara ētādr̥śānyadbhutāni karmmāṇi kr̥tavān
12 so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.
yat paridhēyē gātramārjanavastrē vā tasya dēhāt pīḍitalōkānām samīpam ānītē tē nirāmayā jātā apavitrā bhūtāśca tēbhyō bahirgatavantaḥ|
13 And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.
tadā dēśāṭanakāriṇaḥ kiyantō yihūdīyā bhūtāpasāriṇō bhūtagrastanōkānāṁ sannidhau prabhē ryīśō rnāma japtvā vākyamidam avadan, yasya kathāṁ paulaḥ pracārayati tasya yīśō rnāmnā yuṣmān ājñāpayāmaḥ|
14 And there were certain [men], seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.
skivanāmnō yihūdīyānāṁ pradhānayājakasya saptabhiḥ puttaistathā kr̥tē sati
15 But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but ye, who are ye?
kaścid apavitrō bhūtaḥ pratyuditavān, yīśuṁ jānāmi paulañca paricinōmi kintu kē yūyaṁ?
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
ityuktvā sōpavitrabhūtagrastō manuṣyō lamphaṁ kr̥tvā tēṣāmupari patitvā balēna tān jitavān, tasmāttē nagnāḥ kṣatāṅgāśca santastasmād gēhāt palāyanta|
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
sā vāg iphiṣanagaranivāsinasaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnadēśīyānāṁ lōkānāñca śravōgōcarībhūtā; tataḥ sarvvē bhayaṁ gatāḥ prabhō ryīśō rnāmnō yaśō 'varddhata|
18 And many of those that believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.
yēṣāmanēkēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ pratītirajāyata ta āgatya svaiḥ kr̥tāḥ kriyāḥ prakāśarūpēṇāṅgīkr̥tavantaḥ|
19 And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
bahavō māyākarmmakāriṇaḥ svasvagranthān ānīya rāśīkr̥tya sarvvēṣāṁ samakṣam adāhayan, tatō gaṇanāṁ kr̥tvābudhyanta pañcāyutarūpyamudrāmūlyapustakāni dagdhāni|
20 Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed.
itthaṁ prabhōḥ kathā sarvvadēśaṁ vyāpya prabalā jātā|
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome also.
sarvvēṣvētēṣu karmmasu sampannēṣu satsu paulō mākidaniyākhāyādēśābhyāṁ yirūśālamaṁ gantuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā kathitavān tatsthānaṁ yātrāyāṁ kr̥tāyāṁ satyāṁ mayā rōmānagaraṁ draṣṭavyaṁ|
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timotheus and Erastus, he remained himself awhile in Asia.
svānugatalōkānāṁ tīmathiyērāstau dvau janau mākidaniyādēśaṁ prati prahitya svayam āśiyādēśē katipayadināni sthitavān|
23 And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way.
kintu tasmin samayē matē'smin kalahō jātaḥ|
24 For a certain [man] by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;
tatkāraṇamidaṁ, arttimīdēvyā rūpyamandiranirmmāṇēna sarvvēṣāṁ śilpināṁ yathēṣṭalābham ajanayat yō dīmītriyanāmā nāḍīndhamaḥ
25 whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,
sa tān tatkarmmajīvinaḥ sarvvalōkāṁśca samāhūya bhāṣitavān hē mahēcchā ētēna mandiranirmmāṇēnāsmākaṁ jīvikā bhavati, ētad yūyaṁ vittha;
26 and ye see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with hands.
kintu hastanirmmitēśvarā īśvarā nahi paulanāmnā kēnacijjanēna kathāmimāṁ vyāhr̥tya kēvalēphiṣanagarē nahi prāyēṇa sarvvasmin āśiyādēśē pravr̥ttiṁ grāhayitvā bahulōkānāṁ śēmuṣī parāvarttitā, ētad yuṣmābhi rdr̥śyatē śrūyatē ca|
27 Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.
tēnāsmākaṁ vāṇijyasya sarvvathā hānēḥ sambhavanaṁ kēvalamiti nahi, āśiyādēśasthai rvā sarvvajagatsthai rlōkaiḥ pūjyā yārtimī mahādēvī tasyā mandirasyāvajñānasya tasyā aiśvaryyasya nāśasya ca sambhāvanā vidyatē|
28 And having heard [this], and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
ētādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā tē mahākrōdhānvitāḥ santa uccaiḥkāraṁ kathitavanta iphiṣīyānām arttimī dēvī mahatī bhavati|
29 And the [whole] city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
tataḥ sarvvanagaraṁ kalahēna paripūrṇamabhavat, tataḥ paraṁ tē mākidanīyagāyāristārkhanāmānau paulasya dvau sahacarau dhr̥tvaikacittā raṅgabhūmiṁ javēna dhāvitavantaḥ|
30 But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;
tataḥ paulō lōkānāṁ sannidhiṁ yātum udyatavān kintu śiṣyagaṇastaṁ vāritavān|
31 and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.
paulasyatmīyā āśiyādēśasthāḥ katipayāḥ pradhānalōkāstasya samīpaṁ naramēkaṁ prēṣya tvaṁ raṅgabhūmiṁ māgā iti nyavēdayan|
32 Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.
tatō nānālōkānāṁ nānākathākathanāt sabhā vyākulā jātā kiṁ kāraṇād ētāvatī janatābhavat ētad adhikai rlōkai rnājñāyi|
33 But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.
tataḥ paraṁ janatāmadhyād yihūdīyairbahiṣkr̥taḥ sikandarō hastēna saṅkētaṁ kr̥tvā lōkēbhya uttaraṁ dātumudyatavān,
34 But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
kintu sa yihūdīyalōka iti niścitē sati iphiṣīyānām arttimī dēvī mahatīti vākyaṁ prāyēṇa pañca daṇḍān yāvad ēkasvarēṇa lōkanivahaiḥ prōktaṁ|
35 And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven?
tatō nagarādhipatistān sthirān kr̥tvā kathitavān hē iphiṣāyāḥ sarvvē lōkā ākarṇayata, artimīmahādēvyā mahādēvāt patitāyāstatpratimāyāśca pūjanama iphiṣanagarasthāḥ sarvvē lōkāḥ kurvvanti, ētat kē na jānanti?
36 These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.
tasmād ētatpratikūlaṁ kēpi kathayituṁ na śaknuvanti, iti jñātvā yuṣmābhiḥ susthiratvēna sthātavyam avivicya kimapi karmma na karttavyañca|
37 For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.
yān ētān manuṣyān yūyamatra samānayata tē mandiradravyāpahārakā yuṣmākaṁ dēvyā nindakāśca na bhavanti|
38 If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
yadi kañcana prati dīmītriyasya tasya sahāyānāñca kācid āpatti rvidyatē tarhi pratinidhilōkā vicārasthānañca santi, tē tat sthānaṁ gatvā uttarapratyuttarē kurvvantu|
39 But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
kintu yuṣmākaṁ kācidaparā kathā yadi tiṣṭhati tarhi niyamitāyāṁ sabhāyāṁ tasyā niṣpatti rbhaviṣyati|
40 For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
kintvētasya virōdhasyōttaraṁ yēna dātuṁ śaknum ētādr̥śasya kasyacit kāraṇasyābhāvād adyatanaghaṭanāhētō rājadrōhiṇāmivāsmākam abhiyōgō bhaviṣyatīti śaṅkā vidyatē|
41 And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
iti kathayitvā sa sabhāsthalōkān visr̥ṣṭavān|
