Acts 15
1 And certain men which came down from Judæa taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
yihūdādēśāt kiyantō janā āgatya bhrātr̥gaṇamitthaṁ śikṣitavantō mūsāvyavasthayā yadi yuṣmākaṁ tvakchēdō na bhavati tarhi yūyaṁ paritrāṇaṁ prāptuṁ na śakṣyatha|
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
paulabarṇabbau taiḥ saha bahūn vicārān vivādāṁśca kr̥tavantau, tatō maṇḍalīyanōkā ētasyāḥ kathāyāstattvaṁ jñātuṁ yirūśālamnagarasthān prēritān prācīnāṁśca prati paulabarṇabbāprabhr̥tīn katipayajanān prēṣayituṁ niścayaṁ kr̥tavantaḥ|
3 And being brought on their way by the Assembly, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
tē maṇḍalyā prēritāḥ santaḥ phaiṇīkīśōmirōndēśābhyāṁ gatvā bhinnadēśīyānāṁ manaḥparivarttanasya vārttayā bhrātr̥ṇāṁ paramāhlādam ajanayan|
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the Assembly, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
yirūśālamyupasthāya prēritagaṇēna lōkaprācīnagaṇēna samājēna ca samupagr̥hītāḥ santaḥ svairīśvarō yāni karmmāṇi kr̥tavān tēṣāṁ sarvvavr̥ttāntān tēṣāṁ samakṣam akathayan|
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
kintu viśvāsinaḥ kiyantaḥ phirūśimatagrāhiṇō lōkā utthāya kathāmētāṁ kathitavantō bhinnadēśīyānāṁ tvakchēdaṁ karttuṁ mūsāvyavasthāṁ pālayituñca samādēṣṭavyam|
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
tataḥ prēritā lōkaprācīnāśca tasya vivēcanāṁ karttuṁ sabhāyāṁ sthitavantaḥ|
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
bahuvicārēṣu jātaṣu pitara utthāya kathitavān, hē bhrātarō yathā bhinnadēśīyalōkā mama mukhāt susaṁvādaṁ śrutvā viśvasanti tadarthaṁ bahudināt pūrvvam īśvarōsmākaṁ madhyē māṁ vr̥tvā niyuktavān|
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
antaryyāmīśvarō yathāsmabhyaṁ tathā bhinnadēśīyēbhyaḥ pavitramātmānaṁ pradāya viśvāsēna tēṣām antaḥkaraṇāni pavitrāṇi kr̥tvā
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
tēṣām asmākañca madhyē kimapi viśēṣaṁ na sthāpayitvā tānadhi svayaṁ pramāṇaṁ dattavān iti yūyaṁ jānītha|
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
ataēvāsmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣā vayañca svayaṁ yadyugasya bhāraṁ sōḍhuṁ na śaktāḥ samprati taṁ śiṣyagaṇasya skandhēṣu nyasituṁ kuta īśvarasya parīkṣāṁ kariṣyatha?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasyānugrahēṇa tē yathā vayamapi tathā paritrāṇaṁ prāptum āśāṁ kurmmaḥ|
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
anantaraṁ barṇabbāpaulābhyām īśvarō bhinnadēśīyānāṁ madhyē yadyad āścaryyam adbhutañca karmma kr̥tavān tadvr̥ttāntaṁ tau svamukhābhyām avarṇayatāṁ sabhāsthāḥ sarvvē nīravāḥ santaḥ śrutavantaḥ|
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
tayōḥ kathāyāṁ samāptāyāṁ satyāṁ yākūb kathayitum ārabdhavān
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
hē bhrātarō mama kathāyām manō nidhatta| īśvaraḥ svanāmārthaṁ bhinnadēśīyalōkānām madhyād ēkaṁ lōkasaṁghaṁ grahītuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā yēna prakārēṇa prathamaṁ tān prati kr̥pāvalēkanaṁ kr̥tavān taṁ śimōn varṇitavān|
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
bhaviṣyadvādibhiruktāni yāni vākyāni taiḥ sārddham ētasyaikyaṁ bhavati yathā likhitamāstē|
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
sarvvēṣāṁ karmmaṇāṁ yastu sādhakaḥ paramēśvaraḥ| sa ēvēdaṁ vadēdvākyaṁ śēṣāḥ sakalamānavāḥ| bhinnadēśīyalōkāśca yāvantō mama nāmataḥ| bhavanti hi suvikhyātāstē yathā paramēśituḥ|
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
tatvaṁ samyak samīhantē tannimittamahaṁ kila| parāvr̥tya samāgatya dāyūdaḥ patitaṁ punaḥ| dūṣyamutthāpayiṣyāmi tadīyaṁ sarvvavastu ca| patitaṁ punaruthāpya sajjayiṣyāmi sarvvathā||
ā prathamād īśvaraḥ svīyāni sarvvakarmmāṇi jānāti| (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
ataēva mama nivēdanamidaṁ bhinnadēśīyalōkānāṁ madhyē yē janā īśvaraṁ prati parāvarttanta tēṣāmupari anyaṁ kamapi bhāraṁ na nyasya
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
dēvatāprasādāśucibhakṣyaṁ vyabhicārakarmma kaṇṭhasampīḍanamāritaprāṇibhakṣyaṁ raktabhakṣyañca ētāni parityaktuṁ likhāmaḥ|
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
yataḥ pūrvvakālatō mūsāvyavasthāpracāriṇō lōkā nagarē nagarē santi prativiśrāmavārañca bhajanabhavanē tasyāḥ pāṭhō bhavati|
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole Assembly, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
tataḥ paraṁ prēritagaṇō lōkaprācīnagaṇaḥ sarvvā maṇḍalī ca svēṣāṁ madhyē barśabbā nāmnā vikhyātō manōnītau kr̥tvā paulabarṇabbābhyāṁ sārddham āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ prati prēṣaṇam ucitaṁ buddhvā tābhyāṁ patraṁ praiṣayan|
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
tasmin patrē likhitamiṁda, āntiyakhiyā-suriyā-kilikiyādēśasthabhinnadēśīyabhrātr̥gaṇāya prēritagaṇasya lōkaprācīnagaṇasya bhrātr̥gaṇasya ca namaskāraḥ|
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
viśēṣatō'smākam ājñām aprāpyāpi kiyantō janā asmākaṁ madhyād gatvā tvakchēdō mūsāvyavasthā ca pālayitavyāviti yuṣmān śikṣayitvā yuṣmākaṁ manasāmasthairyyaṁ kr̥tvā yuṣmān sasandēhān akurvvan ētāṁ kathāṁ vayam aśr̥nma|
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
tatkāraṇād vayam ēkamantraṇāḥ santaḥ sabhāyāṁ sthitvā prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmanimittaṁ mr̥tyumukhagatābhyāmasmākaṁ
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
priyabarṇabbāpaulābhyāṁ sārddhaṁ manōnītalōkānāṁ kēṣāñcid yuṣmākaṁ sannidhau prēṣaṇam ucitaṁ buddhavantaḥ|
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
atō yihūdāsīlau yuṣmān prati prēṣitavantaḥ, ētayō rmukhābhyāṁ sarvvāṁ kathāṁ jñāsyatha|
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
dēvatāprasādabhakṣyaṁ raktabhakṣyaṁ galapīḍanamāritaprāṇibhakṣyaṁ vyabhicārakarmma cēmāni sarvvāṇi yuṣmābhistyājyāni; ētatprayōjanīyājñāvyatirēkēna yuṣmākam upari bhāramanyaṁ na nyasituṁ pavitrasyātmanō'smākañca ucitajñānam abhavat|
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
ataēva tēbhyaḥ sarvvēbhyaḥ svēṣu rakṣitēṣu yūyaṁ bhadraṁ karmma kariṣyatha| yuṣmākaṁ maṅgalaṁ bhūyāt|
30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
tē visr̥ṣṭāḥ santa āntiyakhiyānagara upasthāya lōkanivahaṁ saṁgr̥hya patram adadan|
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
tatastē tatpatraṁ paṭhitvā sāntvanāṁ prāpya sānandā abhavan|
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
yihūdāsīlau ca svayaṁ pracārakau bhūtvā bhrātr̥gaṇaṁ nānōpadiśya tān susthirān akurutām|
33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
itthaṁ tau tatra taiḥ sākaṁ katipayadināni yāpayitvā paścāt prēritānāṁ samīpē pratyāgamanārthaṁ tēṣāṁ sannidhēḥ kalyāṇēna visr̥ṣṭāvabhavatāṁ|
34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
kintu sīlastatra sthātuṁ vāñchitavān|
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
aparaṁ paulabarṇabbau bahavaḥ śiṣyāśca lōkān upadiśya prabhōḥ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayanta āntiyakhiyāyāṁ kālaṁ yāpitavantaḥ|
36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
katipayadinēṣu gatēṣu paulō barṇabbām avadat āgacchāvāṁ yēṣu nagarēṣvīśvarasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāritavantau tāni sarvvanagarāṇi punargatvā bhrātaraḥ kīdr̥śāḥ santīti draṣṭuṁ tān sākṣāt kurvvaḥ|
37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
tēna mārkanāmnā vikhyātaṁ yōhanaṁ saṅginaṁ karttuṁ barṇabbā matimakarōt,
38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
kintu sa pūrvvaṁ tābhyāṁ saha kāryyārthaṁ na gatvā pāmphūliyādēśē tau tyaktavān tatkāraṇāt paulastaṁ saṅginaṁ karttum anucitaṁ jñātavān|
39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
itthaṁ tayōratiśayavirōdhasyōpasthitatvāt tau parasparaṁ pr̥thagabhavatāṁ tatō barṇabbā mārkaṁ gr̥hītvā pōtēna kuprōpadvīpaṁ gatavān;
40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
kintu paulaḥ sīlaṁ manōnītaṁ kr̥tvā bhrātr̥bhirīśvarānugrahē samarpitaḥ san prasthāya
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Assemblies.
suriyākilikiyādēśābhyāṁ maṇḍalīḥ sthirīkurvvan agacchat|
