Acts 16
1 THEN he came to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold! a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman, who believed; but his father was a Greek:
फेर वो दिरबे अर लुस्त्रा नगर म्ह भी गया। ओड़ै तीमुथियुस नाम का एक चेल्ला था, उसकी माँ एक यहूदी बिश्वासी थी, पर उसका बाप यूनानी था।
2 who was highly spoken of by the brethren at Lystra and Iconium.
वो लुस्त्रा अर इकुनियुम नगर के भाईयाँ म्ह उसका आच्छा नाम था।
3 Him Paul resolved to take out with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father, that he was a Greek.
पौलुस की मर्जी या थी के वो उसके गेल्या जावै, अर जो यहूदी माणस उन जगहां म्ह थे उनकै कारण उननै उनका खतना करया, क्यूँके वे सारे जाणै थे, के उनका बाप यूनानी था।
4 So as they passed through the cities, they delivered to them for their observance the ordinances decreed by the apostles and presbyters that were at Jerusalem.
पौलुस अर उसका साथी नगर-नगर जान्दे होड़ चेल्यां ताहीं वे सारे हुकम सौपते जावै थे, जो यरुशलेम नगर के प्रेरितां अर कलीसिया के अगुवां नै तय करी थी।
5 Then were the churches established truly in the faith, and increased in number daily.
इस तरियां कलीसिया बिश्वास म्ह पक्की होंदी गई अर गिणती दिन-ब-दिन बधती गई।
6 So passing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia,
वे फ्रुगिया अर गलातिया परदेसां म्ह तै होकै गये, क्यूँके पवित्र आत्मा नै उननै आसिया परदेस म्ह वचन सुणाण तै मना करया।
7 coming as far as Mysia, they made an effort to go unto Bythinia: but the Spirit permitted them not.
उननै मूसिया परदेस कै लोवै पोहचकै, बिथुनिया परदेस म्ह जाणा चाह्या, पर पवित्र आत्मा नै उन ताहीं जाण कोनी दिया।
8 Whereupon passing by Mysia they went down to Troas.
आखर म्ह वे मूसिया परदेस तै होकै त्रोआस म्ह आये।
9 And a vision by night appeared to Paul; a certain man, a Macedonian, stood by him, entreating him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
ओड़ै पौलुस नै रात नै दर्शन देख्या के एक मकिदुनिया परदेस का माणस खड्या होया उनतै बिनती करकै कहण लागरया सै, “पार उतरकै मकिदुनिया परदेस म्ह आ, अर म्हारी मदद कर।”
10 But when he saw the vision, immediately we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
उसकै यो दर्शन देखदे हमनै जिब्बे मकिदुनिया परदेस जाणा चाह्या, न्यू सोचकै के परमेसवर नै म्हारै ताहीं उनतै सुसमाचार सुणाण कै खात्तर बुलाया सै।
11 Therefore sailing from Troas, we came in a direct course to Samothrace, and the next day to Neapolis;
इस करकै त्रोआस नगर तै जहाज खोल कै हम सीध्धे सुमात्राके टापू अर दुसरे दिन नियापुलिस नगर म्ह आये।
12 and from thence to Philippi, which is the first city in that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we abode in that city some days.
ओड़ै तै हम फिलिप्पी नगर पोहचे, जो मकिदुनिया परदेस का खास नगर अर रोमियों का मोहल्ला सै, अर हम उस नगर कुछे दिन रहे।
13 And on the sabbath-day we went forth out of the city to the river side, where an oratory was by custom established; and sitting down, we spoke to the women who there assembled.
आराम कै दिन हम नगर कै फाटक कै बाहरणै नदी कै किनारे न्यू सोचकै गये के ओड़ै प्रार्थना करण की जगहां होगी, अर बैठकै उन लुगाईयाँ तै जो कठ्ठी होई थी, बतळाण लाग्गे।
14 And a certain woman, Lydia by name, a seller of purple, from the city of Thyatira, a worshipper of God, hearkened: whose heart the Lord thoroughly opened, to attend to the words spoken by Paul.
थुआतीरा नगर की बैंजनी लत्ते बेचण आळी एक लुदिया नाम की परमेसवर की भगतणी उनकी बात सुणण लागरी थी। प्रभु नै उसका मन खोल्या ताके वा पौलुस की बात्तां पै मन लगावै।
15 So when she was baptised, and her house, she entreated, saying, Since ye have judged that I am faithful to the Lord, come and abide at my house. And she constrained us.
जिब उसनै अपणे कुण्बे सुधा बपतिस्मा लिया, तो उसनै म्हारै तै बिनती करी, “जै थम मन्नै प्रभु की बिश्वासिणी समझो सो, तो चालकै मेरै घर म्ह रहो,” अर वा हमनै मनाकै ले गई।
16 Now it happened as we were going to the oratory, a certain damsel having a pythonic spirit met us, who produced for her masters much gain as a fortuneteller:
जिब हम प्रार्थना करण की जगहां पै जाण लागरे थे, तो हमनै एक कम उम्र की दास्सी मिली जिसम्ह भविष्य बताण आळी आत्मा थी, अर वा भविष्य बताकै अपणे मालिकां कै खात्तर घणाए कमा लेवै थी।
17 she following Paul and us, cried out, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach to you the way of salvation.
वा पौलुस कै अर म्हारै पाच्छै आकै नै किल्की मारण लाग्गी, “ये माणस परमप्रधान परमेसवर के दास सै, जो म्हारै ताहीं उद्धार के राह की कथा सुणावै सै।”
18 And this she did for several days. Then Paul was wearied out, and turning, said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour.
वा घणे दिनां ताहीं न्यूए कर दी रही, पर पौलुस परेशान होग्या, अर बोहड़कै उस ओपरी आत्मा तै बोल्या, “मै तन्नै यीशु मसीह कै नाम तै हुकम दियुँ सूं के उस म्ह तै बाहरणै लिकड़ जा।” अर वा उस्से बखत लिकड़गी।
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the forum before the chief rulers,
जिब उसके मालिकां नै देख्या के म्हारी कमाई की आस खतम होग्यी, तो पौलुस अर सीलास नै पकड़कै चौक म्ह प्रधानां कै धोरै खींच ल्याए,
20 and presenting them to the magistrates, they said, These are the men that exceedingly disturb the peace of our city, being Jews,
अर उन ताहीं न्यायाधीश कै धोरै ल्याए अर बोल्ले, “ये माणस जो यहूदी सै, म्हारे नगर म्ह दंगा मचाण लागरे सै,
21 and enjoin customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to practise, being Romans.
अर इसे रीति-रिवाज बतावै सै, जिन ताहीं हम रोमियाँ कै खात्तर अपणाना सही कोनी।”
22 And the populace stood up together against them: and the magistrates, after having had their garments torn from their backs, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
फेर भीड़ के माणस उनकै बिरोध म्ह कठ्ठे होकै उनपै चढ़ याए, अर हाकिमां नै उनके लत्ते पाड़कै उतार दिये, अर उनकै बैत मारण का हुकम दिया।
23 And laying on them many stripes, cast them into prison, commanding the jailor to keep them in safe custody:
घणी बैत मारे पाच्छै उननै उन ताहीं जेळ म्ह गेर दिया अर दरोग्गा ताहीं हुकम दिया के उननै चौक्कस राखिये।
24 who, receiving such an injunction, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
उसनै इसा हुकम पाकै उन ताहीं भित्तरली कोठड़ी म्ह राख्या अर उनके पाँ काठ की बेड़ियाँ तै जकड़ दिये।
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas, after joining in prayer, sang hymns to God: and the prisoners heard them.
आध्धी रात कै बखत पौलुस अर सीलास प्रार्थना करदे होए परमेसवर के भजन गाण लागरे थे, अर कैदी उनकी सुणण लागरे थे।
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken: and instantly all the doors flew open, and every man’s chains were loosed.
इतनै म्ह चाणचक बड्ड़ा हाल्लण आ ग्या, उरै ताहीं के जेळ की नीम भी हालगी, अर जिब्बे सारे दरबाजे खुलगे, अर सारया के बन्धन खुलकै पड़गे।
27 Then the jailor being roused from sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword, going to destroy himself, supposing the prisoners had escaped.
दरोग्गा जागग्या, अर जेळ के दरबाजे खुल्ले देखकै समझ गया के कैदी भाजगे सै, इस करकै उसनै तलवार खिंचकै खुद ताहीं मारणा चाह्या।
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no injury: for we are all here.
पर पौलुस नै ठाड्डू आवाज म्ह रुक्का मारया, “अपणे-आपनै किमे नुकसान ना पोहोचाइये, क्यूँके हम सारे उरैए सां।”
29 Thereupon calling for a light, he rushed in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;
फेर दरोग्गा दिवां मँगाकै भित्तर आया, अर काम्बदा होया पौलुस अर सीलास कै आग्गै पड्या,
30 and having first brought them out, said, Sirs! what must I do to be saved?
अर उन ताहीं बाहरणै ल्याकै बोल्या, “हे भले माणसों, उद्धार पाण कै खात्तर मै के करुँ?”
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
उननै कह्या, “प्रभु यीशु मसीह पै बिश्वास कर, तो तू अर तेरा कुण्बा उद्धार पावैगा।”
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all who were in his house.
अर उननै उस ताहीं अर उसके सारे घर के माणसां ताहीं प्रभु का वचन सुणाया।
33 And taking them that same hour of the night, he washed their stripes; and was baptised, himself and all who belonged to him immediately.
रात नै उस्से बखत उसनै उन ताहीं ले जाकै उनके घाव धोये, अर उसनै अपणे सारे माणसां सुधा जिब्बे बपतिस्मा लिया।
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he spread the table, and greatly rejoiced with all his household, believing in God.
फेर दरोग्गै नै उन ताहीं अपणे घरां ले जाकै उनकै आग्गै खाणा धरया, अर साब्ते कुण्बे सुधा परमेसवर पै बिश्वास करकै आनन्द करया।
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying, Set those men at large.
आगले दिन फेर हाकिमां नै सिपाहियाँ के हाथ्थां कहवां भेज्या के उन माणसां नै छोड़ द्यो।
36 Then the jailor told these words to Paul, That the magistrates had sent to set them at liberty: now therefore, said he, get ye out, and pursue your journey in peace.
दरोग्गै नै ये बात पौलुस तै कही, “हाकिमां नै थारे ताहीं छोड़ देण का हुकम दिया सै। ज्यांतै इब खुश होकै जाओ।”
37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Roman citizens, and have cast us into prison; and would they now clandestinely send us away? no, verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
पर पौलुस नै उनतै कह्या, “उननै म्हारै ताहीं जो रोमी माणस सै, कसूरवार ठहराए बिना माणसां कै स्याम्ही मारया अर जेळ म्ह गेरया। इब के हमनै बोल-बाल्ले लिकाड़ण लागरे सै? इसा कोनी, पर वे खुद आकै हमनै बाहरणै लिकाड़ै।”
38 Then the lictors reported all these words to the magistrates: and they were terrified, when they heard they were Roman citizens.
सिपाहियाँ नै ये बात हाकिमां तै कही, अर वे न्यू सुणकै के वे रोम के बासिन्दे सै, डरगे,
39 So they came and spoke kindly to them, and fetching them out, besought them to depart from the city.
अर आकै उन ताहीं मनाया, अर बाहरणै ले जाकै बिनती करी के नगर चले जाओ।
40 Then leaving the prison, they went unto Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went their way.
वे जेळ तै लिकड़कै लुदिया कै उरै गये, अर बिश्वासी भाईयाँ तै भेंट करकै उन ताहीं शान्ति देई, अर चले गये।
