< Acts 8 >

1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the Assembly which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
تَسْیَ ہَتْیاکَرَنَں شَولوپِ سَمَمَنْیَتَ۔ تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَسْتھاں مَنْڈَلِیں پْرَتِ مَہاتاڈَنایاں جاتایاں پْریرِتَلوکانْ ہِتْوا سَرْوّےپَرے یِہُوداشومِرونَدیشَیو رْناناسْتھانے وِکِیرْناح سَنْتو گَتاح۔
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
اَنْیَچَّ بھَکْتَلوکاسْتَں سْتِپھانَں شْمَشانے سْتھاپَیِتْوا بَہُ وْیَلَپَنْ۔
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the Assembly, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
کِنْتُ شَولو گرِہے گرِہے بھْرَمِتْوا سْتْرِیَح پُرُشاںشْچَ دھرِتْوا کارایاں بَدّھوا مَنْڈَلْیا مَہوتْپاتَں کرِتَوانْ۔
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
اَنْیَچَّ یے وِکِیرْنا اَبھَوَنْ تے سَرْوَّتْرَ بھْرَمِتْوا سُسَںوادَں پْراچارَیَنْ۔
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
تَدا پھِلِپَح شومِرونْنَگَرَں گَتْوا کھْرِیشْٹاکھْیانَں پْراچارَیَتْ؛
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
تَتوشُچِ-بھرِتَگْرَسْتَلوکیبھْیو بھُوتاشْچِیتْکرِتْیاگَچّھَنْ تَتھا بَہَوَح پَکْشاگھاتِنَح کھَنْجا لوکاشْچَ سْوَسْتھا اَبھَوَنْ۔
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
تَسْماتْ لاکا اِیدرِشَں تَسْیاشْچَرْیَّں کَرْمَّ وِلوکْیَ نِشَمْیَ چَ سَرْوَّ ایکَچِتِّیبھُویَ تینوکْتاکھْیانے مَناںسِ نْیَدَدھُح۔
8 And there was great joy in that city.
تَسْمِنَّگَرے مَہانَنْدَشْچابھَوَتْ۔
9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
تَتَح پُورْوَّں تَسْمِنَّگَرے شِمونّاما کَشْچِجَّنو بَہْوِی رْمایاکْرِیاح کرِتْوا سْوَں کَنْچَنَ مَہاپُرُشَں پْروچْیَ شومِرونِییاناں موہَں جَنَیاماسَ۔
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
تَسْماتْ سَ مانُشَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ مَہاشَکْتِسْوَرُوپَ اِتْیُکْتْوا بالَورِدّھَوَنِتاح سَرْوّے لاکاسْتَسْمِنْ مَناںسِ نْیَدَدھُح۔
11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
سَ بَہُکالانْ مایاوِکْرِیَیا سَرْوّانْ اَتِیوَ موہَیانْچَکارَ، تَسْماتْ تے تَں مینِرے۔
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ راجْیَسْیَ یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ نامْنَشْچاکھْیانَپْرَچارِنَح پھِلِپَسْیَ کَتھایاں وِشْوَسْیَ تیشاں سْتْرِیپُرُشوبھَیَلوکا مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
شیشے سَ شِمونَپِ سْوَیَں پْرَتْیَیتْ تَتو مَجِّتَح سَنْ پھِلِپینَ کرِتامْ آشْچَرْیَّکْرِیاں لَکْشَنَنْچَ وِلوکْیاسَمْبھَوَں مَنْیَمانَسْتینَ سَہَ سْتھِتَوانْ۔
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
اِتّھَں شومِرونْدیشِییَلوکا اِیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھامْ اَگرِہْلَنْ اِتِ وارْتّاں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَسْتھَپْریرِتاح پْراپْیَ پِتَرَں یوہَنَنْچَ تیشاں نِکَٹے پْریشِتَوَنْتَح۔
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
تَتَسْتَو تَتْ سْتھانَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ لوکا یَتھا پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمانَں پْراپْنُوَنْتِ تَدَرْتھَں پْرارْتھَییتاں۔
16 ( For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
یَتَسْتے پُرا کیوَلَپْرَبھُیِیشو رْنامْنا مَجِّتَماتْرا اَبھَوَنْ، نَ تُ تیشاں مَدھْیے کَمَپِ پْرَتِ پَوِتْرَسْیاتْمَنَ آوِرْبھاوو جاتَح۔
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
کِنْتُ پْریرِتابھْیاں تیشاں گاتْریشُ کَریشْوَرْپِتیشُ سَتْسُ تے پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمانَمْ پْراپْنُوَنْ۔
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
اِتّھَں لوکاناں گاتْریشُ پْریرِتَیوح کَرارْپَنینَ تانْ پَوِتْرَمْ آتْمانَں پْراپْتانْ درِشْٹْوا سَ شِمونْ تَیوح سَمِیپے مُدْرا آنِییَ کَتھِتَوانْ؛
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
اَہَں یَسْیَ گاتْرے ہَسْتَمْ اَرْپَیِشْیامِ تَسْیاپِ یَتھیتّھَں پَوِتْراتْمَپْراپْتِ رْبھَوَتِ تادرِشِیں شَکْتِں مَہْیَں دَتَّں۔
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
کِنْتُ پِتَرَسْتَں پْرَتْیَوَدَتْ تَوَ مُدْراسْتْوَیا وِنَشْیَنْتُ یَتَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دانَں مُدْرابھِح کْرِییَتے تْوَمِتّھَں بُدّھَوانْ؛
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
اِیشْوَرایَ تاوَنْتَحکَرَنَں سَرَلَں نَہِ، تَسْمادْ اَتْرَ تَواںشودھِکارَشْچَ کوپِ ناسْتِ۔
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
اَتَ ایتَتْپاپَہیتوح کھیدانْوِتَح سَنْ کیناپِ پْرَکارینَ تَوَ مَنَسَ ایتَسْیاح کُکَلْپَنایاح کْشَما بھَوَتِ، ایتَدَرْتھَمْ اِیشْوَرے پْرارْتھَناں کُرُ؛
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
یَتَسْتْوَں تِکْتَپِتّے پاپَسْیَ بَنْدھَنے چَ یَدَسِ تَنْمَیا بُدّھَمْ۔
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
تَدا شِمونْ اَکَتھَیَتْ تَرْہِ یُوابھْیامُدِتا کَتھا مَیِ یَتھا نَ پھَلَتِ تَدَرْتھَں یُواں مَنِّمِتَّں پْرَبھَو پْرارْتھَناں کُرُتَں۔
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
اَنینَ پْرَکارینَ تَو ساکْشْیَں دَتّوا پْرَبھوح کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَنْتَو شومِرونِییانامْ اَنیکَگْرامیشُ سُسَںوادَنْچَ پْرَچارَیَنْتَو یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَں پَراورِتْیَ گَتَو۔
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
تَتَح پَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتَح پھِلِپَمْ اِتْیادِشَتْ، تْوَمُتّھایَ دَکْشِنَسْیاں دِشِ یو مارْگو پْرانْتَرَسْیَ مَدھْیینَ یِرُوشالَمو سانَگَرَں یاتِ تَں مارْگَں گَچّھَ۔
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
تَتَح سَ اُتّھایَ گَتَوانْ؛ تَدا کَنْداکِینامْنَح کُوشْلوکاناں راجْنْیاح سَرْوَّسَمْپَتّیرَدھِیشَح کُوشَدیشِییَ ایکَح شَنْڈو بھَجَنارْتھَں یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَمْ آگَتْیَ
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.
پُنَرَپِ رَتھَمارُہْیَ یِشَیِیَنامْنو بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنو گْرَنْتھَں پَٹھَنْ پْرَتْیاگَچّھَتِ۔
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
ایتَسْمِنْ سَمَیے آتْما پھِلِپَمْ اَوَدَتْ، تْوَمْ رَتھَسْیَ سَمِیپَں گَتْوا تینَ سارْدّھَں مِلَ۔
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
تَسْماتْ سَ دھاوَنْ تَسْیَ سَنِّدھاوُپَسْتھایَ تینَ پَٹھْیَمانَں یِشَیِیَتھَوِشْیَدْوادِنو واکْیَں شْرُتْوا پرِشْٹَوانْ یَتْ پَٹھَسِ تَتْ کِں بُدھْیَسے؟
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
تَتَح سَ کَتھِتَوانْ کینَچِنَّ بودھِتوہَں کَتھَں بُدھْیییَ؟ تَتَح سَ پھِلِپَں رَتھَماروڈھُں سْوینَ سارْدّھَمْ اُپَویشْٹُنْچَ نْیَویدَیَتْ۔
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
سَ شاسْتْرَسْییتَدْواکْیَں پَٹھِتَوانْ یَتھا، سَمانِییَتَ گھاتایَ سَ یَتھا میشَشاوَکَح۔ لومَچّھیدَکَساکْشاچَّ میشَشْچَ نِیرَوو یَتھا۔ آبَدھْیَ وَدَنَں سْوِییَں تَتھا سَ سَمَتِشْٹھَتَ۔
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
اَنْیایینَ وِچارینَ سَ اُچّھِنّو بھَوَتْ تَدا۔ تَتْکالِینَمَنُشْیانْ کو جَنو وَرْنَیِتُں کْشَمَح۔ یَتو جِیوَنّرِناں دیشاتْ سَ اُچّھِنّو بھَوَتْ دھْرُوَں۔
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
اَنَنْتَرَں سَ پھِلِپَمْ اَوَدَتْ نِویدَیامِ، بھَوِشْیَدْوادِی یامِماں کَتھاں کَتھَیاماسَ سَ کِں سْوَسْمِنْ وا کَسْمِںشْچِدْ اَنْیَسْمِنْ؟
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
تَتَح پھِلِپَسْتَتْپْرَکَرَنَمْ آرَبھْیَ یِیشورُپاکھْیانَں تَسْیاگْرے پْراسْتَوتْ۔
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
اِتّھَں مارْگینَ گَچّھَنْتَو جَلاشَیَسْیَ سَمِیپَ اُپَسْتھِتَو؛ تَدا کْلِیبووادِیتْ پَشْیاتْرَ سْتھانے جَلَماسْتے مَمَ مَجَّنے کا بادھا؟
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
تَتَح پھِلِپَ اُتَّرَں وْیاہَرَتْ سْوانْتَحکَرَنینَ ساکَں یَدِ پْرَتْییشِ تَرْہِ بادھا ناسْتِ۔ تَتَح سَ کَتھِتَوانْ یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پُتْرَ اِتْیَہَں پْرَتْییمِ۔
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
تَدا رَتھَں سْتھَگِتَں کَرْتُّمْ آدِشْٹے پھِلِپَکْلِیبَو دْوَو جَلَمْ اَوارُہَتاں؛ تَدا پھِلِپَسْتَمْ مَجَّیاماسَ۔
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
تَتْپَشْچاتْ جَلَمَدھْیادْ اُتّھِتَیوح سَتوح پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیاتْما پھِلِپَں ہرِتْوا نِیتَوانْ، تَسْماتْ کْلِیبَح پُنَسْتَں نَ درِشْٹَوانْ تَتھاپِ ہرِشْٹَچِتَّح سَنْ سْوَمارْگینَ گَتَوانْ۔
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
پھِلِپَشْچاسْدودْنَگَرَمْ اُپَسْتھایَ تَسْماتْ کَیسَرِیانَگَرَ اُپَسْتھِتِکالَپَرْیَّنَتَں سَرْوَّسْمِنَّگَرے سُسَںوادَں پْرَچارَیَنْ گَتَوانْ۔
