Acts 26
1 And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching out his hand answered in his defence:
| تَتَ آگْرِپَّح پَولَمْ اَوادِیتْ، نِجاں کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں تُبھْیَمْ اَنُمَتِ رْدِییَتے۔ تَسْماتْ پَولَح کَرَں پْرَسارْیَّ سْوَسْمِنْ اُتَّرَمْ اَوادِیتْ۔ |
2 I count myself happy, king Agrippa, in having to answer to-day before thee concerning all of which I am accused by the Jews,
| ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ یَتْکارَنادَہَں یِہُودِییَیرَپَوادِتو بھَوَں تَسْیَ ورِتّانْتَمْ اَدْیَ بھَوَتَح ساکْشانْ نِویدَیِتُمَنُمَتوہَمْ اِدَں سْوِییَں پَرَمَں بھاگْیَں مَنْیے؛ |
3 especially because thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions which are among the Jews; wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
| یَتو یِہُودِییَلوکاناں مَدھْیے یا یا رِیتِح سُوکْشْمَوِچاراشْچَ سَنْتِ تیشُ بھَوانْ وِجْنَتَمَح؛ اَتَایوَ پْرارْتھَیے دھَیرْیَّمَوَلَمْبْیَ مَمَ نِویدَنَں شرِنوتُ۔ |
4 My manner of life then from my youth, which from its commencement was passed among my nation in Jerusalem, know all the Jews,
| اَہَں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرے سْوَدیشِییَلوکاناں مَدھْیے تِشْٹھَنْ آ یَووَنَکالادْ یَدْرُوپَمْ آچَرِتَوانْ تَدْ یِہُودِییَلوکاح سَرْوّے وِدَنْتِ۔ |
5 who knew me before from the outset [of my life], if they would bear witness, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
| اَسْماکَں سَرْوّیبھْیَح شُدّھَتَمَں یَتْ پھِرُوشِییَمَتَں تَدَوَلَمْبِی بھُوتْواہَں کالَں یاپِتَوانْ یے جَنا آ بالْیَکالانْ ماں جانانْتِ تے ایتادرِشَں ساکْشْیَں یَدِ دَداتِ تَرْہِ داتُں شَکْنُوَنْتِ۔ |
6 And now I stand to be judged because of the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
| کِنْتُ ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ اِیشْوَروسْماکَں پُورْوَّپُرُشاناں نِکَٹے یَدْ اَنْگِیکرِتَوانْ تَسْیَ پْرَتْیاشاہیتورَہَمْ اِدانِیں وِچارَسْتھانے دَنْڈایَمانوسْمِ۔ |
7 to which our whole twelve tribes serving incessantly day and night hope to arrive; about which hope, O king, I am accused of [the] Jews.
| تَسْیانْگِیکارَسْیَ پھَلَں پْراپْتُمْ اَسْماکَں دْوادَشَوَںشا دِوانِشَں مَہایَتْنادْ اِیشْوَرَسیوَنَں کرِتْوا یاں پْرَتْیاشاں کُرْوَّنْتِ تَسْیاح پْرَتْیاشایا ہیتورَہَں یِہُودِییَیرَپَوادِتوبھَوَمْ۔ |
8 Why should it be judged a thing incredible in your sight if God raises the dead?
| اِیشْوَرو مرِتانْ اُتّھاپَیِشْیَتِیتِ واکْیَں یُشْماکَں نِکَٹےسَمْبھَوَں کُتو بھَویتْ؟ |
9 I indeed myself thought that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazaraean.
| ناسَرَتِییَیِیشو رْنامْنو وِرُدّھَں ناناپْرَکارَپْرَتِکُولاچَرَنَمْ اُچِتَمْ اِتْیَہَں مَنَسِ یَتھارْتھَں وِجْنایَ |
10 Which also I did in Jerusalem, and myself shut up in prisons many of the saints, having received the authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote.
| یِرُوشالَمَنَگَرے تَدَکَرَوَں پھَلَتَح پْرَدھانَیاجَکَسْیَ نِکَٹاتْ کْشَمَتاں پْراپْیَ بَہُونْ پَوِتْرَلوکانْ کارایاں بَدّھَوانْ وِشیشَتَسْتیشاں ہَنَنَسَمَیے تیشاں وِرُدّھاں نِجاں سَمَّتِں پْرَکاشِتَوانْ۔ |
11 And often punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And, being exceedingly furious against them, I persecuted them even to cities out [of our own land].
| وارَں وارَں بھَجَنَبھَوَنیشُ تیبھْیو دَنْڈَں پْرَدَتَّوانْ بَلاتْ تَں دھَرْمَّں نِنْدَیِتَواںشْچَ پُنَشْچَ تانْ پْرَتِ مَہاکْرودھادْ اُنْمَتَّح سَنْ وِدیشِییَنَگَرانِ یاوَتْ تانْ تاڈِتَوانْ۔ |
12 And when, [engaged] in this, I was journeying to Damascus, with authority and power from the chief priests,
| اِتّھَں پْرَدھانَیاجَکَسْیَ سَمِیپاتْ شَکْتِمْ آجْناپَتْرَنْچَ لَبْدھْوا دَمّیشَکْنَگَرَں گَتَوانْ۔ |
13 at mid-day, on the way, I saw, O king, a light above the brightness of the sun, shining from heaven round about me and those who were journeying with me.
| تَداہَں ہے راجَنْ مارْگَمَدھْیے مَدھْیاہْنَکالے مَمَ مَدِییَسَنْگِناں لوکانانْچَ چَتَسرِشُ دِکْشُ گَگَناتْ پْرَکاشَماناں بھاسْکَرَتوپِ تیجَسْوَتِیں دِیپْتِں درِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
14 And, when we were all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against goads.
| تَسْمادْ اَسْماسُ سَرْوّیشُ بھُومَو پَتِتیشُ سَتْسُ ہے شَولَ ہَے شَولَ کُتو ماں تاڈَیَسِ؟ کَنْٹَکاناں مُکھے پاداہَنَنَں تَوَ دُحسادھْیَمْ اِبْرِییَبھاشَیا گَدِتَ ایتادرِشَ ایکَح شَبْدو مَیا شْرُتَح۔ |
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
| تَداہَں پرِشْٹَوانْ ہے پْرَبھو کو بھَوانْ؟ تَتَح سَ کَتھِتَوانْ یَں یِیشُں تْوَں تاڈَیَسِ سوہَں، |
16 but rise up and stand on thy feet; for, for this purpose have I appeared to thee, to appoint thee to be a servant and a witness both of what thou hast seen, and of what I shall appear to thee in,
| کِنْتُ سَمُتِّشْٹھَ تْوَں یَدْ درِشْٹَوانْ اِتَح پُنَنْچَ یَدْیَتْ تْواں دَرْشَیِشْیامِ تیشاں سَرْوّیشاں کارْیّاناں تْواں ساکْشِنَں مَمَ سیوَکَنْچَ کَرْتُّمْ دَرْشَنَمْ اَدامْ۔ |
17 taking thee out from among the people, and the nations, to whom I send thee,
| وِشیشَتو یِہُودِییَلوکیبھْیو بھِنَّجاتِیییبھْیَشْچَ تْواں مَنونِیتَں کرِتْوا تیشاں یَتھا پاپَموچَنَں بھَوَتِ |
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.
| یَتھا تے مَیِ وِشْوَسْیَ پَوِتْرِیکرِتاناں مَدھْیے بھاگَں پْراپْنُوَنْتِ تَدَبھِپْرایینَ تیشاں جْنانَچَکْشُوںشِ پْرَسَنّانِ کَرْتُّں تَتھانْدھَکارادْ دِیپْتِں پْرَتِ شَیتانادھِکاراچَّ اِیشْوَرَں پْرَتِ مَتِیح پَراوَرْتَّیِتُں تیشاں سَمِیپَں تْواں پْریشْیامِ۔ |
19 Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision;
| ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ ایتادرِشَں سْوَرْگِییَپْرَتْیادیشَں اَگْراہْیَمْ اَکرِتْواہَں |
20 but have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
| پْرَتھَمَتو دَمّیشَکْنَگَرے تَتو یِرُوشالَمِ سَرْوَّسْمِنْ یِہُودِییَدیشے اَنْییشُ دیشیشُ چَ یےنَ لوکا مَتِں پَراوَرْتّیَ اِیشْوَرَں پْرَتِ پَراوَرْتَّیَنْتے، مَنَحپَراوَرْتَّنَیوگْیانِ کَرْمّانِ چَ کُرْوَّنْتِ تادرِشَمْ اُپَدیشَں پْرَچارِتَوانْ۔ |
21 On account of these things the Jews, having seized me in the temple, attempted to lay hands on and destroy me.
| ایتَتْکارَنادْ یِہُودِییا مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں ماں دھرِتْوا ہَنْتُمْ اُدْیَتاح۔ |
22 Having therefore met with [the] help which is from God, I have stood firm unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing else than those things which both the prophets and Moses have said should happen,
| تَتھاپِ کھْرِیشْٹو دُحکھَں بھُکْتْوا سَرْوّیشاں پُورْوَّں شْمَشانادْ اُتّھایَ نِجَدیشِییاناں بھِنَّدیشِییانانْچَ سَمِیپے دِیپْتِں پْرَکاشَیِشْیَتِ |
23 [namely, ] whether Christ should suffer; whether he first, through resurrection of [the] dead, should announce light both to the people and to the nations.
| بھَوِشْیَدْوادِگَنو مُوساشْچَ بھاوِکارْیَّسْیَ یَدِدَں پْرَمانَمْ اَدَدُریتَدْ وِنانْیاں کَتھاں نَ کَتھَیِتْوا اِیشْوَرادْ اَنُگْرَہَں لَبْدھْوا مَہَتاں کْشُدْرانانْچَ سَرْوّیشاں سَمِیپے پْرَمانَں دَتّوادْیَ یاوَتْ تِشْٹھامِ۔ |
24 And as he answered for his defence with these things, Festus says with a loud voice, Thou art mad, Paul; much learning turns thee to madness.
| تَسْیَماں کَتھاں نِشَمْیَ پھِیشْٹَ اُچَّیح سْوَرینَ کَتھِتَوانْ ہے پَولَ تْوَمْ اُنْمَتّوسِ بَہُوِدْیابھْیاسینَ تْوَں ہَتَجْنانو جاتَح۔ |
25 But Paul said, I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but utter words of truth and soberness;
| سَ اُکْتَوانْ ہے مَہامَہِمَ پھِیشْٹَ ناہَمْ اُنْمَتَّح کِنْتُ سَتْیَں وِویچَنِییَنْچَ واکْیَں پْرَسْتَومِ۔ |
26 for the king is informed about these things, to whom also I speak with all freedom. For I am persuaded that of these things nothing is hidden from him; for this was not done in a corner.
| یَسْیَ ساکْشادْ اَکْشوبھَح سَنْ کَتھاں کَتھَیامِ سَ راجا تَدْورِتّانْتَں جاناتِ تَسْیَ سَمِیپے کِمَپِ گُپْتَں نیتِ مَیا نِشْچِتَں بُدھْیَتے یَتَسْتَدْ وِجَنے نَ کرِتَں۔ |
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
| ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ بھَوانْ کِں بھَوِشْیَدْوادِگَنوکْتانِ واکْیانِ پْرَتْییتِ؟ بھَوانْ پْرَتْییتِ تَدَہَں جانامِ۔ |
28 And Agrippa [said] to Paul, In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
| تَتَ آگْرِپَّح پَولَمْ اَبھِہِتَوانْ تْوَں پْرَورِتِّں جَنَیِتْوا پْرایینَ مامَپِ کھْرِیشْٹِییَں کَروشِ۔ |
29 And Paul [said], I would to God, both in little and in much, that not only thou, but all who have heard me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bonds.
| تَتَح سووادِیتْ بھَوانْ یے یے لوکاشْچَ مَمَ کَتھامْ اَدْیَ شرِنْوَنْتِ پْرایینَ اِتِ نَہِ کِنْتْویتَتْ شرِنْکھَلَبَنْدھَنَں وِنا سَرْوَّتھا تے سَرْوّے مادرِشا بھَوَنْتْوِتِیشْوَسْیَ سَمِیپے پْرارْتھَیےہَمْ۔ |
30 And the king stood up, and the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them,
| ایتَسْیاں کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں سَ راجا سودھِپَتِ رْبَرْنِیکِی سَبھاسْتھا لوکاشْچَ تَسْمادْ اُتّھایَ |
31 and having gone apart, they spoke to one another saying, This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
| گوپَنے پَرَسْپَرَں وِوِچْیَ کَتھِتَوَنْتَ ایشَ جَنو بَنْدھَنارْہَں پْرانَہَنَنارْہَں وا کِمَپِ کَرْمَّ ناکَروتْ۔ |
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been let go if he had not appealed to Caesar.
| تَتَ آگْرِپَّح پھِیشْٹَمْ اَوَدَتْ، یَدْییشَ مانُشَح کَیسَرَسْیَ نِکَٹے وِچارِتو بھَوِتُں نَ پْرارْتھَیِشْیَتْ تَرْہِ مُکْتو بھَوِتُمْ اَشَکْشْیَتْ۔ |
