Acts 13

1 And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers: both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also—Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother—and Saul;

aparañca barṇabbāḥ, śimon yaṁ nigraṁ vadanti, kurīnīyalūkiyo herodā rājñā saha kṛtavidyābhyāso minahem, śaulaścaite ye kiyanto janā bhaviṣyadvādina upadeṣṭāraścāntiyakhiyānagarasthamaṇḍalyām āsan,

2 and in their ministering to the LORD and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate to Me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,”

te yadopavāsaṁ kṛtveśvaram asevanta tasmin samaye pavitra ātmā kathitavān ahaṁ yasmin karmmaṇi barṇabbāśailau niyuktavān tatkarmma karttuṁ tau pṛthak kuruta|

3 then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.

tatastairupavāsaprārthanayoḥ kṛtayoḥ satoste tayo rgātrayo rhastārpaṇaṁ kṛtvā tau vyasṛjan|

4 These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus,

tataḥ paraṁ tau pavitreṇātmanā preritau santau silūkiyānagaram upasthāya samudrapathena kupropadvīpam agacchatāṁ|

5 and having come to Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John [as] a servant;

tataḥ sālāmīnagaram upasthāya tatra yihūdīyānāṁ bhajanabhavanāni gatveśvarasya kathāṁ prācārayatāṁ; yohanapi tatsahacaro'bhavat|

6 and having gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] Bar-Jesus;

itthaṁ te tasyopadvīpasya sarvvatra bhramantaḥ pāphanagaram upasthitāḥ; tatra suvivecakena sarjiyapaulanāmnā taddeśādhipatinā saha bhaviṣyadvādino veśadhārī baryīśunāmā yo māyāvī yihūdī āsīt taṁ sākṣāt prāptavataḥ|

7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God,

taddeśādhipa īśvarasya kathāṁ śrotuṁ vāñchan paulabarṇabbau nyamantrayat|

8 and there withstood them Elymas the magus—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

kintvilumā yaṁ māyāvinaṁ vadanti sa deśādhipatiṁ dharmmamārgād bahirbhūtaṁ karttum ayatata|

9 And Saul—who also [is] Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked steadfastly on him,

tasmāt śolo'rthāt paulaḥ pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san taṁ māyāvinaṁ pratyananyadṛṣṭiṁ kṛtvākathayat,

10 said, “O full of all guile, and all recklessness, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the right ways of the LORD?

he narakin dharmmadveṣin kauṭilyaduṣkarmmaparipūrṇa, tvaṁ kiṁ prabhoḥ satyapathasya viparyyayakaraṇāt kadāpi na nivarttiṣyase?

11 And now, behold, a hand of the LORD [is] on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season”; and instantly there fell on him a mist and darkness, and he, going around, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand;

adhunā parameśvarastava samucitaṁ kariṣyati tena katipayadināni tvam andhaḥ san sūryyamapi na drakṣyasi| tatkṣaṇād rātrivad andhakārastasya dṛṣṭim ācchāditavān; tasmāt tasya hastaṁ dharttuṁ sa lokamanvicchan itastato bhramaṇaṁ kṛtavān|

12 then the proconsul having seen what has come to pass, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the LORD.

enāṁ ghaṭanāṁ dṛṣṭvā sa deśādhipatiḥ prabhūpadeśād vismitya viśvāsaṁ kṛtavān|

13 And those around Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, turned back to Jerusalem,

tadanantaraṁ paulastatsaṅginau ca pāphanagarāt protaṁ cālayitvā pamphuliyādeśasya pargīnagaram agacchan kintu yohan tayoḥ samīpād etya yirūśālamaṁ pratyāgacchat|

14 and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, they sat down,

paścāt tau pargīto yātrāṁ kṛtvā pisidiyādeśasya āntiyakhiyānagaram upasthāya viśrāmavāre bhajanabhavanaṁ praviśya samupāviśatāṁ|

15 and after the reading of the Law and of the Prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there be a word in you of exhortation to the people—say on.”

vyavasthābhaviṣyadvākyayoḥ paṭhitayoḥ sato rhe bhrātarau lokān prati yuvayoḥ kācid upadeśakathā yadyasti tarhi tāṁ vadataṁ tau prati tasya bhajanabhavanasyādhipatayaḥ kathām etāṁ kathayitvā praiṣayan|

16 And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, listen:

ataḥ paula uttiṣṭhan hastena saṅketaṁ kurvvan kathitavān he isrāyelīyamanuṣyā īśvaraparāyaṇāḥ sarvve lokā yūyam avadhaddhaṁ|

17 the God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and He exalted the people in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and He brought them out of it with a high arm;

eteṣāmisrāyellokānām īśvaro'smākaṁ pūrvvaparuṣān manonītān katvā gṛhītavān tato misari deśe pravasanakāle teṣāmunnatiṁ kṛtvā tasmāt svīyabāhubalena tān bahiḥ kṛtvā samānayat|

18 and about a period of forty years He endured their conduct in the wilderness,

catvāriṁśadvatsarān yāvacca mahāprāntare teṣāṁ bharaṇaṁ kṛtvā

19 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided their land to them by lot.

kināndeśāntarvvarttīṇi saptarājyāni nāśayitvā guṭikāpātena teṣu sarvvadeśeṣu tebhyo'dhikāraṁ dattavān|

20 And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges—until Samuel the prophet;

pañcāśadadhikacatuḥśateṣu vatsareṣu gateṣu ca śimūyelbhaviṣyadvādiparyyantaṁ teṣāmupari vicārayitṛn niyuktavān|

21 and thereafter they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

taiśca rājñi prārthite, īśvaro binyāmīno vaṁśajātasya kīśaḥ putraṁ śaulaṁ catvāriṁśadvarṣaparyyantaṁ teṣāmupari rājānaṁ kṛtavān|

22 and having removed him, He raised up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, He said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.

paścāt taṁ padacyutaṁ kṛtvā yo madiṣṭakriyāḥ sarvvāḥ kariṣyati tādṛśaṁ mama manobhimatam ekaṁ janaṁ yiśayaḥ putraṁ dāyūdaṁ prāptavān idaṁ pramāṇaṁ yasmin dāyūdi sa dattavān taṁ dāyūdaṁ teṣāmupari rājatvaṁ karttum utpāditavāna|

23 Of this one’s seed, God, according to promise, raised to Israel a Savior—Jesus,

tasya svapratiśrutasya vākyasyānusāreṇa isrāyellokānāṁ nimittaṁ teṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ vaṁśād īśvara ekaṁ yīśuṁ (trātāram) udapādayat|

24 John having first preached, before His coming, an immersion of conversion to all the people of Israel;

tasya prakāśanāt pūrvvaṁ yohan isrāyellokānāṁ sannidhau manaḥparāvarttanarūpaṁ majjanaṁ prācārayat|

25 and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom do you suppose I am? I am not [He], but behold, He comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [His] feet.

yasya ca karmmaṇo bhāraṁ praptavān yohan tan niṣpādayan etāṁ kathāṁ kathitavān, yūyaṁ māṁ kaṁ janaṁ jānītha? aham abhiṣiktatrātā nahi, kintu paśyata yasya pādayoḥ pādukayo rbandhane mocayitumapi yogyo na bhavāmi tādṛśa eko jano mama paścād upatiṣṭhati|

26 Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

he ibrāhīmo vaṁśajātā bhrātaro he īśvarabhītāḥ sarvvalokā yuṣmān prati paritrāṇasya kathaiṣā preritā|

27 for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, having not known this One, also the voices of the Prophets, which are being read every Sabbath—having judged [Him]—fulfilled,

yirūśālamnivāsinasteṣām adhipatayaśca tasya yīśoḥ paricayaṁ na prāpya prativiśrāmavāraṁ paṭhyamānānāṁ bhaviṣyadvādikathānām abhiprāyam abuddhvā ca tasya vadhena tāḥ kathāḥ saphalā akurvvan|

28 and having found no cause of death, they asked of Pilate that He should be slain,

prāṇahananasya kamapi hetum aprāpyāpi pīlātasya nikaṭe tasya vadhaṁ prārthayanta|

29 and when they fulfilled all the things written about Him, having taken [Him] down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb;

tasmin yāḥ kathā likhitāḥ santi tadanusāreṇa karmma sampādya taṁ kruśād avatāryya śmaśāne śāyitavantaḥ|

30 and God raised Him out of the dead,

kintvīśvaraḥ śmaśānāt tamudasthāpayat,

31 and He was seen for many days of those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

punaśca gālīlapradeśād yirūśālamanagaraṁ tena sārddhaṁ ye lokā āgacchan sa bahudināni tebhyo darśanaṁ dattavān, atasta idānīṁ lokān prati tasya sākṣiṇaḥ santi|

32 And we proclaim good news to you—that the promise made to the fathers,

asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ samakṣam īśvaro yasmin pratijñātavān yathā, tvaṁ me putrosi cādya tvāṁ samutthāpitavānaham|

33 God has completed this in full to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it has been written: You are My Son—I have begotten You today.

idaṁ yadvacanaṁ dvitīyagīte likhitamāste tad yīśorutthānena teṣāṁ santānā ye vayam asmākaṁ sannidhau tena pratyakṣī kṛtaṁ, yuṣmān imaṁ susaṁvādaṁ jñāpayāmi|

34 And that He raised Him up out of the dead, to no longer return to corruption, He has said this: I will give to You the holy [blessings] of David [that are] faithful;

parameśvareṇa śmaśānād utthāpitaṁ tadīyaṁ śarīraṁ kadāpi na kṣeṣyate, etasmin sa svayaṁ kathitavān yathā dāyūdaṁ prati pratijñāto yo varastamahaṁ tubhyaṁ dāsyāmi|

35 for what reason He also says in another [place]: You will not give Your Holy One to see corruption;

etadanyasmin gīte'pi kathitavān| svakīyaṁ puṇyavantaṁ tvaṁ kṣayituṁ na ca dāsyasi|

36 for David, indeed, having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption,

dāyūdā īśvarābhimatasevāyai nijāyuṣi vyayite sati sa mahānidrāṁ prāpya nijaiḥ pūrvvapuruṣaiḥ saha militaḥ san akṣīyata;

37 but He whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

kintu yamīśvaraḥ śmaśānād udasthāpayat sa nākṣīyata|

38 Let it therefore be known to you, men, brothers, that the forgiveness of sins is declared to you through this One,

ato he bhrātaraḥ, anena janena pāpamocanaṁ bhavatīti yuṣmān prati pracāritam āste|

39 and from all things in the Law of Moses from which you were not able to be declared righteous, everyone who is believing in this One is declared righteous;

phalato mūsāvyavasthayā yūyaṁ yebhyo doṣebhyo muktā bhavituṁ na śakṣyatha tebhyaḥ sarvvadoṣebhya etasmin jane viśvāsinaḥ sarvve muktā bhaviṣyantīti yuṣmābhi rjñāyatāṁ|

40 see, therefore, it may not come on you that has been spoken in the Prophets:

aparañca| avajñākāriṇo lokāścakṣurunmīlya paśyata| tathaivāsambhavaṁ jñātvā syāta yūyaṁ vilajjitāḥ| yato yuṣmāsu tiṣṭhatsu kariṣye karmma tādṛśaṁ| yenaiva tasya vṛttānte yuṣmabhyaṁ kathite'pi hi| yūyaṁ na tantu vṛttāntaṁ pratyeṣyatha kadācana||

41 See, you despisers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, a work in which you may not believe, though anyone may declare [it] to you.”

yeyaṁ kathā bhaviṣyadvādināṁ grantheṣu likhitāste sāvadhānā bhavata sa kathā yathā yuṣmān prati na ghaṭate|

42 And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling on [them] that on the next Sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,

yihūdīyabhajanabhavanān nirgatayostayo rbhinnadeśīyai rvakṣyamāṇā prārthanā kṛtā, āgāmini viśrāmavāre'pi katheyam asmān prati pracāritā bhavatviti|

43 and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

sabhāyā bhaṅge sati bahavo yihūdīyalokā yihūdīyamatagrāhiṇo bhaktalokāśca barṇabbāpaulayoḥ paścād āgacchan, tena tau taiḥ saha nānākathāḥ kathayitveśvarānugrahāśraye sthātuṁ tān prāvarttayatāṁ|

44 And on the coming Sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,

paraviśrāmavāre nagarasya prāyeṇa sarvve lākā īśvarīyāṁ kathāṁ śrotuṁ militāḥ,

45 and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul—contradicting and slandering.

kintu yihūdīyalokā jananivahaṁ vilokya īrṣyayā paripūrṇāḥ santo viparītakathākathaneneśvaranindayā ca paulenoktāṁ kathāṁ khaṇḍayituṁ ceṣṭitavantaḥ|

46 And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the word of God be first spoken to you, and seeing you thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the continuous life, behold, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)

tataḥ paulabarṇabbāvakṣobhau kathitavantau prathamaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sannidhāvīśvarīyakathāyāḥ pracāraṇam ucitamāsīt kintuṁ tadagrāhyatvakaraṇena yūyaṁ svān anantāyuṣo'yogyān darśayatha, etatkāraṇād vayam anyadeśīyalokānāṁ samīpaṁ gacchāmaḥ| (aiōnios g166)

47 for so the LORD has commanded us: I have set you for a light of nations—for your being for salvation to the end of the earth.”

prabhurasmān ittham ādiṣṭavān yathā, yāvacca jagataḥ sīmāṁ lokānāṁ trāṇakāraṇāt| mayānyadeśamadhye tvaṁ sthāpito bhūḥ pradīpavat||

48 And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the LORD, and believed—as many as were appointed to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)

tadā kathāmīdṛśīṁ śrutvā bhinnadeśīyā āhlāditāḥ santaḥ prabhoḥ kathāṁ dhanyāṁ dhanyām avadan, yāvanto lokāśca paramāyuḥ prāptinimittaṁ nirūpitā āsan te vyaśvasan| (aiōnios g166)

49 and the word of the LORD was spread abroad through all the region.

itthaṁ prabhoḥ kathā sarvvedeśaṁ vyāpnot|

50 And the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and put them out from their borders;

kintu yihūdīyā nagarasya pradhānapuruṣān sammānyāḥ kathipayā bhaktā yoṣitaśca kupravṛttiṁ grāhayitvā paulabarṇabbau tāḍayitvā tasmāt pradeśād dūrīkṛtavantaḥ|

51 and having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium,

ataḥ kāraṇāt tau nijapadadhūlīsteṣāṁ prātikūlyena pātayitvekaniyaṁ nagaraṁ gatau|

52 and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.

tataḥ śiṣyagaṇa ānandena pavitreṇātmanā ca paripūrṇobhavat|
