Acts 16
1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
पौलो दर्ब्बीलुस्त्रानगरयोरुपस्थितोभवत् तत्र तीमथियनामा शिष्य एक आसीत्; स विश्वासिन्या यिहूदीयाया योषितो गर्ब्भजातः किन्तु तस्य पितान्यदेशीयलोकः।
2 Which was well reported of by the brothers that were at Lystra and Iconium.
स जनो लुस्त्रा-इकनियनगरस्थानां भ्रातृणां समीपेपि सुख्यातिमान् आसीत्।
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
पौलस्तं स्वसङ्गिनं कर्त्तुं मतिं कृत्वा तं गृहीत्वा तद्देशनिवासिनां यिहूदीयानाम् अनुरोधात् तस्य त्वक्छेदं कृतवान् यतस्तस्य पिता भिन्नदेशीयलोक इति सर्व्वैरज्ञायत।
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
ततः परं ते नगरे नगरे भ्रमित्वा यिरूशालमस्थैः प्रेरितै र्लोकप्राचीनैश्च निरूपितं यद् व्यवस्थापत्रं तदनुसारेणाचरितुं लोकेभ्यस्तद् दत्तवन्तः।
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
तेनैव सर्व्वे धर्म्मसमाजाः ख्रीष्टधर्म्मे सुस्थिराः सन्तः प्रतिदिनं वर्द्धिता अभवन्।
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
तेषु फ्रुगियागालातियादेशमध्येन गतेषु सत्सु पवित्र आत्मा तान् आशियादेशे कथां प्रकाशयितुं प्रतिषिद्धवान्।
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
तथा मुसियादेश उपस्थाय बिथुनियां गन्तुं तैरुद्योगे कृते आत्मा तान् नान्वमन्यत।
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
तस्मात् ते मुसियादेशं परित्यज्य त्रोयानगरं गत्वा समुपस्थिताः।
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
रात्रौ पौलः स्वप्ने दृष्टवान् एको माकिदनियलोकस्तिष्ठन् विनयं कृत्वा तस्मै कथयति, माकिदनियादेशम् आगत्यास्मान् उपकुर्व्विति।
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel to them.
तस्येत्थं स्वप्नदर्शनात् प्रभुस्तद्देशीयलोकान् प्रति सुसंवादं प्रचारयितुम् अस्मान् आहूयतीति निश्चितं बुद्ध्वा वयं तूर्णं माकिदनियादेशं गन्तुम् उद्योगम् अकुर्म्म।
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
ततः परं वयं त्रोयानगराद् प्रस्थाय ऋजुमार्गेण सामथ्राकियोपद्वीपेन गत्वा परेऽहनि नियापलिनगर उपस्थिताः।
12 And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
तस्माद् गत्वा माकिदनियान्तर्व्वर्त्ति रोमीयवसतिस्थानं यत् फिलिपीनामप्रधाननगरं तत्रोपस्थाय कतिपयदिनानि तत्र स्थितवन्तः।
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women which resorted thither.
विश्रामवारे नगराद् बहि र्गत्वा नदीतटे यत्र प्रार्थनाचार आसीत् तत्रोपविश्य समागता नारीः प्रति कथां प्राचारयाम।
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken of Paul.
ततः थुयातीरानगरीया धूषराम्बरविक्रायिणी लुदियानामिका या ईश्वरसेविका योषित् श्रोत्रीणां मध्य आसीत् तया पौलोक्तवाक्यानि यद् गृह्यन्ते तदर्थं प्रभुस्तस्या मनोद्वारं मुक्तवान्।
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she sought us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
अतः सा योषित् सपरिवारा मज्जिता सती विनयं कृत्वा कथितवती, युष्माकं विचाराद् यदि प्रभौ विश्वासिनी जाताहं तर्हि मम गृहम् आगत्य तिष्ठत। इत्थं सा यत्नेनास्मान् अस्थापयत्।
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
यस्या गणनया तदधिपतीनां बहुधनोपार्जनं जातं तादृशी गणकभूतग्रस्ता काचन दासी प्रार्थनास्थानगमनकाल आगत्यास्मान् साक्षात् कृतवती।
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which show to us the way of salvation.
सास्माकं पौलस्य च पश्चाद् एत्य प्रोच्चैः कथामिमां कथितवती, मनुष्या एते सर्व्वोपरिस्थस्येश्वरस्य सेवकाः सन्तोऽस्मान् प्रति परित्राणस्य मार्गं प्रकाशयन्ति।
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
सा कन्या बहुदिनानि तादृशम् अकरोत् तस्मात् पौलो दुःखितः सन् मुखं परावर्त्य तं भूतमवदद्, अहं यीशुख्रीष्टस्य नाम्ना त्वामाज्ञापयामि त्वमस्या बहिर्गच्छ; तेनैव तत्क्षणात् स भूतस्तस्या बहिर्गतः।
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace to the rulers,
ततः स्वेषां लाभस्य प्रत्याशा विफला जातेति विलोक्य तस्याः प्रभवः पौलं सीलञ्च धृत्वाकृष्य विचारस्थानेऽधिपतीनां समीपम् आनयन्।
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
ततः शासकानां निकटं नीत्वा रोमिलोका वयम् अस्माकं यद् व्यवहरणं ग्रहीतुम् आचरितुञ्च निषिद्धं,
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
इमे यिहूदीयलोकाः सन्तोपि तदेव शिक्षयित्वा नगरेऽस्माकम् अतीव कलहं कुर्व्वन्ति,
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
इति कथिते सति लोकनिवहस्तयोः प्रातिकूल्येनोदतिष्ठत् तथा शासकास्तयो र्वस्त्राणि छित्वा वेत्राघातं कर्त्तुम् आज्ञापयन्।
23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
अपरं ते तौ बहु प्रहार्य्य त्वमेतौ कारां नीत्वा सावधानं रक्षयेति कारारक्षकम् आदिशन्।
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
इत्थम् आज्ञां प्राप्य स तावभ्यन्तरस्थकारां नीत्वा पादेषु पादपाशीभि र्बद्ध्वा स्थापितावान्।
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
अथ निशीथसमये पौलसीलावीश्वरमुद्दिश्य प्राथनां गानञ्च कृतवन्तौ, कारास्थिता लोकाश्च तदशृण्वन्
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
तदाकस्मात् महान् भूमिकम्पोऽभवत् तेन भित्तिमूलेन सह कारा कम्पिताभूत् तत्क्षणात् सर्व्वाणि द्वाराणि मुक्तानि जातानि सर्व्वेषां बन्धनानि च मुक्तानि।
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
अतएव कारारक्षको निद्रातो जागरित्वा काराया द्वाराणि मुक्तानि दृष्ट्वा बन्दिलोकाः पलायिता इत्यनुमाय कोषात् खङ्गं बहिः कृत्वात्मघातं कर्त्तुम् उद्यतः।
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm: for we are all here.
किन्तु पौलः प्रोच्चैस्तमाहूय कथितवान् पश्य वयं सर्व्वेऽत्रास्महे, त्वं निजप्राणहिंसां माकार्षीः।
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
तदा प्रदीपम् आनेतुम् उक्त्वा स कम्पमानः सन् उल्लम्प्याभ्यन्तरम् आगत्य पौलसीलयोः पादेषु पतितवान्।
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
पश्चात् स तौ बहिरानीय पृष्टवान् हे महेच्छौ परित्राणं प्राप्तुं मया किं कर्त्तव्यं?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.
पश्चात् तौ स्वगृहमानीय तयोः सम्मुखे खाद्यद्रव्याणि स्थापितवान् तथा स स्वयं तदीयाः सर्व्वे परिवाराश्चेश्वरे विश्वसन्तः सानन्दिता अभवन्।
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
तस्मै तस्य गृहस्थितसर्व्वलोकेभ्यश्च प्रभोः कथां कथितवन्तौ।
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
तथा रात्रेस्तस्मिन्नेव दण्डे स तौ गृहीत्वा तयोः प्रहाराणां क्षतानि प्रक्षालितवान् ततः स स्वयं तस्य सर्व्वे परिजनाश्च मज्जिता अभवन्।
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
पश्चात् तौ स्वगृहमानीय तयोः सम्मुखे खाद्यद्रव्याणि स्थापितवान् तथा स स्वयं तदीयाः सर्व्वे परिवाराश्चेश्वरे विश्वसन्तः सानन्दिता अभवन्।
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.
दिन उपस्थिते तौ लोकौ मोचयेति कथां कथयितुं शासकाः पदातिगणं प्रेषितवन्तः।
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
ततः कारारक्षकः पौलाय तां वार्त्तां कथितवान् युवां त्याजयितुं शासका लोकान प्रेषितवन्त इदानीं युवां बहि र्भूत्वा कुशलेन प्रतिष्ठेतां।
37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? no truly; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
किन्तु पौलस्तान् अवदत् रोमिलोकयोरावयोः कमपि दोषम् न निश्चित्य सर्व्वेषां समक्षम् आवां कशया ताडयित्वा कारायां बद्धवन्त इदानीं किमावां गुप्तं विस्त्रक्ष्यन्ति? तन्न भविष्यति, स्वयमागत्यावां बहिः कृत्वा नयन्तु।
38 And the sergeants told these words to the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
तदा पदातिभिः शासकेभ्य एतद्वार्त्तायां कथितायां तौ रोमिलोकाविति कथां श्रुत्वा ते भीताः
39 And they came and sought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
सन्तस्तयोः सन्निधिमागत्य विनयम् अकुर्व्वन् अपरं बहिः कृत्वा नगरात् प्रस्थातुं प्रार्थितवन्तः।
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers, they comforted them, and departed.
ततस्तौ काराया निर्गत्य लुदियाया गृहं गतवन्तौ तत्र भ्रातृगणं साक्षात्कृत्य तान् सान्त्वयित्वा तस्मात् स्थानात् प्रस्थितौ।
