Acts 1
1 The first account I prepared, Theophilus [God-lover], concerned all that Jesus began to do and to teach
hE thiyaphila, yIzuH svamanOnItAn prEritAn pavitrENAtmanA samAdizya yasmin dinE svargamArOhat yAM yAM kriyAmakarOt yadyad upAdizacca tAni sarvvANi pUrvvaM mayA likhitAni|
2 until the day in which He was taken back, after He had given commandment, by Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom He had chosen;
sa svanidhanaduHkhabhOgAt param anEkapratyayakSapramANauH svaM sajIvaM darzayitvA
3 to whom He also showed Himself alive, after His suffering, by many convincing evidences, appearing to them during forty days and speaking of things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
catvAriMzaddinAni yAvat tEbhyaH prEritEbhyO darzanaM dattvEzvarIyarAjyasya varNanama akarOt|
4 And being together He directed them not to go away from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “which you heard from me;
anantaraM tESAM sabhAM kRtvA ityAjnjApayat, yUyaM yirUzAlamO'nyatra gamanamakRtvA yastin pitrAggIkRtE mama vadanAt kathA azRNuta tatprAptim apEkSya tiSThata|
5 John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
yOhan jalE majjitAvAn kintvalpadinamadhyE yUyaM pavitra Atmani majjitA bhaviSyatha|
6 Well then, being together they asked Him saying, “Lord, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
pazcAt tE sarvvE militvA tam apRcchan hE prabhO bhavAn kimidAnIM punarapi rAjyam isrAyElIyalOkAnAM karESu samarpayiSyati?
7 So He said to them: “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has placed within His own authority.
tataH sOvadat yAn sarvvAn kAlAn samayAMzca pitA svavazE'sthApayat tAn jnjAtRM yuSmAkam adhikArO na jAyatE|
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be witnesses to me—both in Jerusalem, and all Judea and Samaria, and even to the last part of the earth.”
kintu yuSmAsu pavitrasyAtmana AvirbhAvE sati yUyaM zaktiM prApya yirUzAlami samastayihUdAzOmirONadEzayOH pRthivyAH sImAM yAvad yAvantO dEzAstESu yarvvESu ca mayi sAkSyaM dAsyatha|
9 Upon saying these things, as they watched, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight.
iti vAkyamuktvA sa tESAM samakSaM svargaM nItO'bhavat, tatO mEghamAruhya tESAM dRSTEragOcarO'bhavat|
10 And as they were staring into the sky, while He was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood beside them;
yasmin samayE tE vihAyasaM pratyananyadRSTyA tasya tAdRzam Urdvvagamanam apazyan tasminnEva samayE zuklavastrau dvau janau tESAM sannidhau daNPAyamAnau kathitavantau,
11 and they said: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the sky? This very Jesus who is being taken up from you into the sky, He will come again in the precise manner that you observed Him going into the sky.”
hE gAlIlIyalOkA yUyaM kimarthaM gagaNaM prati nirIkSya daNPAyamAnAstiSThatha? yuSmAkaM samIpAt svargaM nItO yO yIzustaM yUyaM yathA svargam ArOhantam adarzam tathA sa punazcAgamiSyati|
12 They then returned to Jerusalem from the mount called ‘of Olives’, which is near Jerusalem (a Sabbath day's journey).
tataH paraM tE jaitunanAmnaH parvvatAd vizrAmavArasya pathaH parimANam arthAt prAyENArddhakrOzaM durasthaM yirUzAlamnagaraM parAvRtyAgacchan|
13 When they had entered [the city] they went up into the upper room where they were staying: namely Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas 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 All these were continuing with one purpose in prayer and petition, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
pazcAd imE kiyatyaH striyazca yIzO rmAtA mariyam tasya bhrAtarazcaitE sarvva EkacittIbhUta satataM vinayEna vinayEna prArthayanta|
15 Well in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (the number of people assembled there was about 120) and said:
tasmin samayE tatra sthAnE sAkalyEna viMzatyadhikazataM ziSyA Asan| tataH pitarastESAM madhyE tiSThan uktavAn
16 “Men, brothers: It was necessary that this Scripture be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by David's mouth concerning Judas, who was guide to those who arrested Jesus;
hE bhrAtRgaNa yIzudhAriNAM lOkAnAM pathadarzakO yO yihUdAstasmin dAyUdA pavitra AtmA yAM kathAM kathayAmAsa tasyAH pratyakSIbhavanasyAvazyakatvam AsIt|
17 in that he was numbered with us and obtained his share in this ministry.”
sa janO'smAkaM madhyavarttI san asyAH sEvAyA aMzam alabhata|
18 (In fact this man acquired a field with the wages of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle, and all his innards were spilled out.
tadanantaraM kukarmmaNA labdhaM yanmUlyaM tEna kSEtramEkaM krItam aparaM tasmin adhOmukhE bhRmau patitE sati tasyOdarasya vidIrNatvAt sarvvA nAPyO niragacchan|
19 And it became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language that field came to be called ‘Akeldama’, that is, ‘Field of Blood’.)
EtAM kathAM yirUzAlamnivAsinaH sarvvE lOkA vidAnti; tESAM nijabhASayA tatkSEtranjca hakaldAmA, arthAt raktakSEtramiti vikhyAtamAstE|
20 “Because it stands written in Book of Psalms: ‘Let his residence become desolate, and may no one live in it’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
anyacca, nikEtanaM tadIyantu zunyamEva bhaviSyati| tasya dUSyE nivAsArthaM kOpi sthAsyati naiva hi| anya Eva janastasya padaM saMprApsyati dhruvaM| itthaM gItapustakE likhitamAstE|
21 So then, of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
atO yOhanO majjanam ArabhyAsmAkaM samIpAt prabhO ryIzOH svargArOhaNadinaM yAvat sOsmAkaM madhyE yAvanti dinAni yApitavAn
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when He was taken up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
tAvanti dinAni yE mAnavA asmAbhiH sArddhaM tiSThanti tESAm EkEna janEnAsmAbhiH sArddhaM yIzOrutthAnE sAkSiNA bhavitavyaM|
23 So they nominated two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
atO yasya rUPhi ryuSTO yaM barzabbEtyuktvAhUyanti sa yUSaph matathizca dvAvEtau pRthak kRtvA ta Izvarasya sannidhau prAryya kathitavantaH,
24 And praying they said: “You, Lord, Knower of all hearts, show which one of these two You have chosen
hE sarvvAntaryyAmin paramEzvara, yihUdAH sEvanaprEritatvapadacyutaH
25 to receive the portion of this ministry and apostleship, out of which Judas turned aside to go into his own place.”
san nijasthAnam agacchat, tatpadaM labdhum EnayO rjanayO rmadhyE bhavatA kO'bhirucitastadasmAn darzyatAM|
26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
