Acts 24
1 Now after five days the high priest Ananias went down with the elders and a certain orator, Tertullus, and they informed the governor against Paul.
| پَنْچَبھْیو دِنیبھْیَح پَرَں ہَنانِییَناما مَہایاجَکودھِپَتیح سَمَکْشَں پَولَسْیَ پْراتِکُولْیینَ نِویدَیِتُں تَرْتُلَّنامانَں کَنْچَنَ وَکْتارَں پْراچِینَجَناںشْچَ سَنْگِنَح کرِتْوا کَیسَرِیانَگَرَمْ آگَچّھَتْ۔ |
2 So when he had been called in, Tertullus began his accusation, saying: “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and your foresight has brought prosperity to this nation,
| تَتَح پَولے سَمانِیتے سَتِ تَرْتُلَّسْتَسْیاپَوادَکَتھاں کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ ہے مَہامَہِمَپھِیلِکْشَ بھَوَتو وَیَمْ اَتِنِرْوِّگھْنَں کالَں یاپَیامو بھَوَتَح پَرِنامَدَرْشِتَیا ایتَدّیشِییاناں بَہُونِ مَنْگَلانِ گھَٹِتانِ، |
3 we recognize this, most noble Felix, with full gratitude, always and everywhere.
| اِتِ ہیتو رْوَیَمَتِکرِتَجْناح سَنْتَح سَرْوَّتْرَ سَرْوَّدا بھَوَتو گُنانْ گایَمَح۔ |
4 But so as not to detain you unduly, I would request that you be kind enough to hear us briefly.
| کِنْتُ بَہُبھِح کَتھابھِ رْبھَوَنْتَں یینَ نَ وِرَنْجَیامِ تَسْمادْ وِنَیے بھَوانْ بَنُکَمْپْیَ مَدَلْپَکَتھاں شرِنوتُ۔ |
5 We have found this man to be a plague, a creator of discord among all the Jews throughout the world, a ringleader of the Natsorean sect,
| ایشَ مَہامارِیسْوَرُوپو ناسَرَتِییَمَتَگْراہِسَںگھاتَسْیَ مُکھْیو بھُوتْوا سَرْوَّدیشیشُ سَرْوّیشاں یِہُودِییاناں راجَدْروہاچَرَنَپْرَورِتِّں جَنَیَتِیتْیَسْمابھِ رْنِشْچِتَں۔ |
6 and he even tried to profane the temple; so we arrested him.
| سَ مَنْدِرَمَپِ اَشُچِ کَرْتُّں چیشْٹِتَوانْ؛ اِتِ کارَنادْ وَیَمْ اینَں دھرِتْوا سْوَوْیَوَسْتھانُسارینَ وِچارَیِتُں پْراوَرْتّامَہِ؛ |
| کِنْتُ لُشِیَح سَہَسْرَسیناپَتِراگَتْیَ بَلادْ اَسْماکَں کَریبھْیَ اینَں گرِہِیتْوا |
8 By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
| ایتَسْیاپَوادَکانْ بھَوَتَح سَمِیپَمْ آگَنْتُمْ آجْناپَیَتْ۔ وَیَں یَسْمِنْ تَمَپَوادامو بھَوَتا پَدَپَوادَکَتھایاں وِچارِتایاں سَتْیاں سَرْوَّں ورِتّانْتَں ویدِتُں شَکْشْیَتے۔ |
9 And the Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
| تَتو یِہُودِییا اَپِ سْوِیکرِتْیَ کَتھِتَوَنْتَ ایشا کَتھا پْرَمانَمْ۔ |
10 When the governor had nodded to him to speak, Paul answered: “Knowing, as I do, that you have been an equitable judge of this nation for many years, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself,
| اَدھِپَتَو کَتھاں کَتھَیِتُں پَولَں پْرَتِینْگِتَں کرِتَوَتِ سَ کَتھِتَوانْ بھَوانْ بَہُونْ وَتْسَرانْ یاوَدْ ایتَدّیشَسْیَ شاسَنَں کَروتِیتِ وِجْنایَ پْرَتْیُتَّرَں داتُمْ اَکْشوبھوبھَوَمْ۔ |
11 because you can ascertain that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
| اَدْیَ کیوَلَں دْوادَشَ دِنانِ یاتانِ، اَہَمْ آرادھَناں کَرْتُّں یِرُوشالَمَنَگَرَں گَتَوانْ ایشا کَتھا بھَوَتا جْناتُں شَکْیَتے؛ |
12 They did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd—not in the temple, not in the synagogues, not around the city.
| کِنْتْوِبھے ماں مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں کیناپِ سَہَ وِتَنْڈاں کُرْوَّنْتَں کُتْراپِ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے نَگَرے وا لوکانْ کُپْرَورِتِّں جَنَیَنْتُں نَ درِشْٹَوَنْتَح۔ |
13 Nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.
| اِدانِیں یَسْمِنْ یَسْمِنْ مامْ اَپَوَدَنْتے تَسْیَ کِمَپِ پْرَمانَں داتُں نَ شَکْنُوَنْتِ۔ |
14 But I do profess this to you, that according to the Way that they call a sect, that is how I worship the ancestral God, believing all things that stand written throughout the Law and the Prophets,
| کِنْتُ بھَوِشْیَدْواکْیَگْرَنْتھے وْیَوَسْتھاگْرَنْتھے چَ یا یا کَتھا لِکھِتاسْتے تاسُ سَرْوّاسُ وِشْوَسْیَ یَنْمَتَمْ اِمے وِدھَرْمَّں جانَنْتِ تَنْمَتانُساریناہَں نِجَپِترِپُرُشانامْ اِیشْوَرَمْ آرادھَیامِیتْیَہَں بھَوَتَح سَمَکْشَمْ اَنْگِیکَرومِ۔ |
15 having hope in God, which these themselves also look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both the just and unjust.
| دھارْمِّکانامْ اَدھارْمِّکانانْچَ پْرَمِیتَلوکانامیووتّھانَں بھَوِشْیَتِیتِ کَتھامِمے سْوِیکُرْوَّنْتِ تَتھاہَمَپِ تَسْمِنْ اِیشْوَرے پْرَتْیاشاں کَرومِ؛ |
16 And this is why I apply myself to always have a clear conscience before both God and men.
| اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مانَوانانْچَ سَمِیپے یَتھا نِرْدوشو بھَوامِ تَدَرْتھَں سَتَتَں یَتْنَوانْ اَسْمِ۔ |
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms and offerings to my nation,
| بَہُشُ وَتْسَریشُ گَتیشُ سْوَدیشِییَلوکاناں نِمِتَّں دانِییَدْرَوْیانِ نَیویدْیانِ چَ سَمادایَ پُنَراگَمَنَں کرِتَوانْ۔ |
18 in the midst of which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, with neither crowd nor confusion.
| تَتوہَں شُچِ رْبھُوتْوا لوکاناں سَماگَمَں کَلَہَں وا نَ کارِتَوانْ تَتھاپْیاشِیادیشِییاح کِیَنْتو یِہُدِییَلوکا مَدھْییمَنْدِرَں ماں دھرِتَوَنْتَح۔ |
19 They are the ones that had to be here before you and make accusation, if they had anything against me.
| مَموپَرِ یَدِ کاچِدَپَوادَکَتھاسْتِ تَرْہِ بھَوَتَح سَمِیپَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ تیشامیوَ ساکْشْیَدانَمْ اُچِتَمْ۔ |
20 Or let these themselves say what wrong they found in me, when I stood before the council,
| نوچیتْ پُورْوّے مَہاسَبھاسْتھاناں لوکاناں سَنِّدھَو مَمَ دَنْڈایَمانَتْوَسَمَیے، اَہَمَدْیَ مرِتانامُتّھانے یُشْمابھِ رْوِچارِتوسْمِ، |
21 unless it be for this one statement that I called out, standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you today.’”
| تیشاں مَدھْیے تِشْٹھَنَّہَں یامِماں کَتھامُچَّیح سْوَرینَ کَتھِتَوانْ تَدَنْیو مَمَ کوپِ دوشولَبھْیَتَ نَ ویتِ وَرَمْ ایتے سَمُپَسْتھِتَلوکا وَدَنْتُ۔ |
22 Upon hearing these things Felix, having an accurate knowledge of the things concerning the Way, adjourned the proceedings and said, “When Lysias the commander comes down I will decide your case.”
| تَدا پھِیلِکْشَ ایتاں کَتھاں شْرُتْوا تَنْمَتَسْیَ وِشیشَورِتّانْتَں وِجْناتُں وِچارَں سْتھَگِتَں کرِتْوا کَتھِتَوانْ لُشِیے سَہَسْرَسیناپَتَو سَمایاتے سَتِ یُشْماکَں وِچارَمْ اَہَں نِشْپادَیِشْیامِ۔ |
23 And he ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody but have some freedom, and not to forbid any of his friends to provide for or to visit him.
| اَنَنْتَرَں بَنْدھَنَں وِنا پَولَں رَکْشِتُں تَسْیَ سیوَنایَ ساکْشاتْکَرَنایَ وا تَدِییاتْمِییَبَنْدھُجَنانْ نَ وارَیِتُنْچَ شَمَسیناپَتِمْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔ |
24 Now after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith into Christ Jesus.
| اَلْپَدِناتْ پَرَں پھِیلِکْشودھِپَتِ رْدْرُشِلّانامْنا یِہُودِییَیا سْوَبھارْیَّیا سَہاگَتْیَ پَولَماہُویَ تَسْیَ مُکھاتْ کھْرِیشْٹَدھَرْمَّسْیَ ورِتّانْتَمْ اَشْرَوشِیتْ۔ |
25 But as he expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix became afraid and answered, “Go away for now; when I have occasion I will summon you.”
| پَولینَ نْیایَسْیَ پَرِمِتَبھوگَسْیَ چَرَمَوِچارَسْیَ چَ کَتھایاں کَتھِتایاں سَتْیاں پھِیلِکْشَح کَمْپَمانَح سَنْ وْیاہَرَدْ اِدانِیں یاہِ، اَہَمْ اَوَکاشَں پْراپْیَ تْوامْ آہُوسْیامِ۔ |
26 At the same time he was also hoping that Paul would give him money, that he might release him; so he frequently summoned and conversed with him.
| مُکْتِپْرَپْتْیَرْتھَں پَولینَ مَہْیَں مُدْراداسْیَنْتے اِتِ پَتْیاشاں کرِتْوا سَ پُنَح پُنَسْتَماہُویَ تینَ ساکَں کَتھوپَکَتھَنَں کرِتَوانْ۔ |
27 But after two years, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; so Felix, wanting to do the Jews a favor, left Paul in prison.
| کِنْتُ وَتْسَرَدْوَیاتْ پَرَں پَرْکِیَپھِیشْٹَ پھالِکْشَسْیَ پَدَں پْراپْتے سَتِ پھِیلِکْشو یِہُودِییانْ سَنْتُشْٹانْ چِکِیرْشَنْ پَولَں بَدّھَں سَںسْتھاپْیَ گَتَوانْ۔ |
