< Acts 17 >
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
paulasiilau aamphipalyaapalloniyaanagaraabhyaa. m gatvaa yatra yihuudiiyaanaa. m bhajanabhavanamekam aaste tatra thi. salaniikiinagara upasthitau|
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
tadaa paula. h svaacaaraanusaare. na te. saa. m samiipa. m gatvaa vi"sraamavaaratraye tai. h saarddha. m dharmmapustakiiyakathaayaa vicaara. m k. rtavaan|
3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
tasmaat te. saa. m katipayajanaa anyade"siiyaa bahavo bhaktalokaa bahya. h pradhaananaaryya"sca vi"svasya paulasiilayo. h pa"scaadgaamino jaataa. h|
5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
te. saamudde"sam apraapya ca yaasona. m katipayaan bhraat. r.m"sca dh. rtvaa nagaraadhipatiinaa. m nika. tamaaniiya proccai. h kathitavanto ye manu. syaa jagadudvaa. titavantaste. atraapyupasthitaa. h santi,
7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.
e. sa yaason aatithya. m k. rtvaa taan g. rhiitavaan| yii"sunaamaka eko raajastiiti kathayantaste kaisarasyaaj naaviruddha. m karmma kurvvati|
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
te. saa. m kathaamimaa. m "srutvaa lokanivaho nagaraadhipataya"sca samudvignaa abhavan|
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
tadaa yaasonastadanye. saa nca dhanada. n.da. m g. rhiitvaa taan parityaktavanta. h|
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews.
tata. h para. m bhraat. rga. no rajanyaa. m paulasiilau "siighra. m birayaanagara. m pre. sitavaan tau tatropasthaaya yihuudiiyaanaa. m bhajanabhavana. m gatavantau|
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
tatrasthaa lokaa. h thi. salaniikiisthalokebhyo mahaatmaana aasan yata ittha. m bhavati na veti j naatu. m dine dine dharmmagranthasyaalocanaa. m k. rtvaa svaira. m kathaam ag. rhlan|
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
tasmaad aneke yihuudiiyaa anyade"siiyaanaa. m maanyaa striya. h puru. saa"scaaneke vya"svasan|
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
kintu birayaanagare paulene"svariiyaa kathaa pracaaryyata iti thi. salaniikiisthaa yihuudiiyaa j naatvaa tatsthaanamapyaagatya lokaanaa. m kuprav. rttim ajanayan|
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
ataeva tasmaat sthaanaat samudre. na yaantiiti dar"sayitvaa bhraatara. h k. sipra. m paula. m praahi. nvan kintu siilatiimathiyau tatra sthitavantau|
15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
tata. h para. m paulasya maargadar"sakaastam aathiiniinagara upasthaapayan pa"scaad yuvaa. m tuur. nam etat sthaana. m aagami. syatha. h siilatiimathiyau pratiimaam aaj naa. m praapya te pratyaagataa. h|
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
paula aathiiniinagare taavapek. sya ti. s.than tannagara. m pratimaabhi. h paripuur. na. m d. r.s. tvaa santaptah. rdayo. abhavat|
17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
tata. h sa bhajanabhavane yaan yihuudiiyaan bhaktalokaa. m"sca ha. t.te ca yaan apa"syat tai. h saha pratidina. m vicaaritavaan|
18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, [is]?
te tam areyapaaganaama vicaarasthaanam aaniiya praavocan ida. m yannaviina. m mata. m tva. m praaciika"sa ida. m kiid. r"sa. m etad asmaan "sraavaya;
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.

21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, [Ye] men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
paulo. areyapaagasya madhye ti. s.than etaa. m kathaa. m pracaaritavaan, he aathiiniiyalokaa yuuya. m sarvvathaa devapuujaayaam aasaktaa ityaha pratyak. sa. m pa"syaami|
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
jagato jagatsthaanaa. m sarvvavastuunaa nca sra. s.taa ya ii"svara. h sa svargap. rthivyorekaadhipati. h san karanirmmitamandire. su na nivasati;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
sa eva sarvvebhyo jiivana. m praa. naan sarvvasaamagrii"sca pradadaati; ataeva sa kasyaa"scit saamagyraa abhaavaheto rmanu. syaa. naa. m hastai. h sevito bhavatiiti na|
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
sa bhuuma. n.dale nivaasaartham ekasmaat "so. nitaat sarvvaan manu. syaan s. r.s. tvaa te. saa. m puurvvaniruupitasamaya. m vasatisiimaa nca niracinot;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
tasmaat lokai. h kenaapi prakaare. na m. rgayitvaa parame"svarasya tatva. m praaptu. m tasya gave. sa. na. m kara. niiyam|
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
kintu so. asmaaka. m kasmaaccidapi duure ti. s.thatiiti nahi, vaya. m tena ni"svasanapra"svasanagamanaagamanapraa. nadhaara. naani kurmma. h, puna"sca yu. smaakameva katipayaa. h kavaya. h kathayanti ‘tasya va. m"saa vaya. m smo hi` iti|
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
ataeva yadi vayam ii"svarasya va. m"saa bhavaamastarhi manu. syai rvidyayaa kau"salena ca tak. sita. m svar. na. m ruupya. m d. r.sad vaite. saamii"svaratvam asmaabhi rna j naatavya. m|
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
te. saa. m puurvviiyalokaanaam aj naanataa. m pratii"svaro yadyapi naavaadhatta tathaapiidaanii. m sarvvatra sarvvaan mana. h parivarttayitum aaj naapayati,
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead.
yata. h svaniyuktena puru. se. na yadaa sa p. rthiviisthaanaa. m sarvvalokaanaa. m vicaara. m kari. syati taddina. m nyaruupayat; tasya "sma"saanotthaapanena tasmin sarvvebhya. h pramaa. na. m praadaat|
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this [matter].
tadaa "sma"saanaad utthaanasya kathaa. m "srutvaa kecid upaahaman, kecidavadan enaa. m kathaa. m punarapi tvatta. h "sro. syaama. h|
33 So Paul departed from among them.
tata. h paulaste. saa. m samiipaat prasthitavaan|
34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which [was] Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
