< Acts 16 >
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
फेर वो दिरबे अर लुस्त्रा नगर म्ह भी गया। ओड़ै तीमुथियुस नाम का एक चेल्ला था, उसकी माँ एक यहूदी बिश्वासी थी, पर उसका बाप यूनानी था।
2 who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;
वो लुस्त्रा अर इकुनियुम नगर के भाईयाँ म्ह उसका आच्छा नाम था।
3 Paul wished this one to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he was a Greek.
पौलुस की मर्जी या थी के वो उसके गेल्या जावै, अर जो यहूदी माणस उन जगहां म्ह थे उनकै कारण उननै उनका खतना करया, क्यूँके वे सारे जाणै थे, के उनका बाप यूनानी था।
4 And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
पौलुस अर उसका साथी नगर-नगर जान्दे होड़ चेल्यां ताहीं वे सारे हुकम सौपते जावै थे, जो यरुशलेम नगर के प्रेरितां अर कलीसिया के अगुवां नै तय करी थी।
5 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
इस तरियां कलीसिया बिश्वास म्ह पक्की होंदी गई अर गिणती दिन-ब-दिन बधती गई।
6 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
वे फ्रुगिया अर गलातिया परदेसां म्ह तै होकै गये, क्यूँके पवित्र आत्मा नै उननै आसिया परदेस म्ह वचन सुणाण तै मना करया।
7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
उननै मूसिया परदेस कै लोवै पोहचकै, बिथुनिया परदेस म्ह जाणा चाह्या, पर पवित्र आत्मा नै उन ताहीं जाण कोनी दिया।
8 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
आखर म्ह वे मूसिया परदेस तै होकै त्रोआस म्ह आये।
9 And a vision through the night appeared to Paul—a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling on him, and saying, “Having passed through to Macedonia, help us.”
ओड़ै पौलुस नै रात नै दर्शन देख्या के एक मकिदुनिया परदेस का माणस खड्या होया उनतै बिनती करकै कहण लागरया सै, “पार उतरकै मकिदुनिया परदेस म्ह आ, अर म्हारी मदद कर।”
10 And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news to them,
उसकै यो दर्शन देखदे हमनै जिब्बे मकिदुनिया परदेस जाणा चाह्या, न्यू सोचकै के परमेसवर नै म्हारै ताहीं उनतै सुसमाचार सुणाण कै खात्तर बुलाया सै।
11 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,
इस करकै त्रोआस नगर तै जहाज खोल कै हम सीध्धे सुमात्राके टापू अर दुसरे दिन नियापुलिस नगर म्ह आये।
12 there also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were abiding in this city some days;
ओड़ै तै हम फिलिप्पी नगर पोहचे, जो मकिदुनिया परदेस का खास नगर अर रोमियों का मोहल्ला सै, अर हम उस नगर कुछे दिन रहे।
13 on the day of the Sabbaths we also went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
आराम कै दिन हम नगर कै फाटक कै बाहरणै नदी कै किनारे न्यू सोचकै गये के ओड़ै प्रार्थना करण की जगहां होगी, अर बैठकै उन लुगाईयाँ तै जो कठ्ठी होई थी, बतळाण लाग्गे।
14 and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing, whose heart the LORD opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
थुआतीरा नगर की बैंजनी लत्ते बेचण आळी एक लुदिया नाम की परमेसवर की भगतणी उनकी बात सुणण लागरी थी। प्रभु नै उसका मन खोल्या ताके वा पौलुस की बात्तां पै मन लगावै।
15 and when she was immersed, and her household, she called on us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, having entered into my house, remain”; and she constrained us.
जिब उसनै अपणे कुण्बे सुधा बपतिस्मा लिया, तो उसनै म्हारै तै बिनती करी, “जै थम मन्नै प्रभु की बिश्वासिणी समझो सो, तो चालकै मेरै घर म्ह रहो,” अर वा हमनै मनाकै ले गई।
16 And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying;
जिब हम प्रार्थना करण की जगहां पै जाण लागरे थे, तो हमनै एक कम उम्र की दास्सी मिली जिसम्ह भविष्य बताण आळी आत्मा थी, अर वा भविष्य बताकै अपणे मालिकां कै खात्तर घणाए कमा लेवै थी।
17 she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us [the] way of salvation!”
वा पौलुस कै अर म्हारै पाच्छै आकै नै किल्की मारण लाग्गी, “ये माणस परमप्रधान परमेसवर के दास सै, जो म्हारै ताहीं उद्धार के राह की कथा सुणावै सै।”
18 And this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her”; and it came forth the same hour.
वा घणे दिनां ताहीं न्यूए कर दी रही, पर पौलुस परेशान होग्या, अर बोहड़कै उस ओपरी आत्मा तै बोल्या, “मै तन्नै यीशु मसीह कै नाम तै हुकम दियुँ सूं के उस म्ह तै बाहरणै लिकड़ जा।” अर वा उस्से बखत लिकड़गी।
19 And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] into the marketplace, to the rulers,
जिब उसके मालिकां नै देख्या के म्हारी कमाई की आस खतम होग्यी, तो पौलुस अर सीलास नै पकड़कै चौक म्ह प्रधानां कै धोरै खींच ल्याए,
20 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;
अर उन ताहीं न्यायाधीश कै धोरै ल्याए अर बोल्ले, “ये माणस जो यहूदी सै, म्हारे नगर म्ह दंगा मचाण लागरे सै,
21 and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
अर इसे रीति-रिवाज बतावै सै, जिन ताहीं हम रोमियाँ कै खात्तर अपणाना सही कोनी।”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,
फेर भीड़ के माणस उनकै बिरोध म्ह कठ्ठे होकै उनपै चढ़ याए, अर हाकिमां नै उनके लत्ते पाड़कै उतार दिये, अर उनकै बैत मारण का हुकम दिया।
23 having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
घणी बैत मारे पाच्छै उननै उन ताहीं जेळ म्ह गेर दिया अर दरोग्गा ताहीं हुकम दिया के उननै चौक्कस राखिये।
24 who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
उसनै इसा हुकम पाकै उन ताहीं भित्तरली कोठड़ी म्ह राख्या अर उनके पाँ काठ की बेड़ियाँ तै जकड़ दिये।
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
आध्धी रात कै बखत पौलुस अर सीलास प्रार्थना करदे होए परमेसवर के भजन गाण लागरे थे, अर कैदी उनकी सुणण लागरे थे।
26 and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, also all the doors were immediately opened, and of all—the bands were loosed;
इतनै म्ह चाणचक बड्ड़ा हाल्लण आ ग्या, उरै ताहीं के जेळ की नीम भी हालगी, अर जिब्बे सारे दरबाजे खुलगे, अर सारया के बन्धन खुलकै पड़गे।
27 and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled,
दरोग्गा जागग्या, अर जेळ के दरबाजे खुल्ले देखकै समझ गया के कैदी भाजगे सै, इस करकै उसनै तलवार खिंचकै खुद ताहीं मारणा चाह्या।
28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”
पर पौलुस नै ठाड्डू आवाज म्ह रुक्का मारया, “अपणे-आपनै किमे नुकसान ना पोहोचाइये, क्यूँके हम सारे उरैए सां।”
29 And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
फेर दरोग्गा दिवां मँगाकै भित्तर आया, अर काम्बदा होया पौलुस अर सीलास कै आग्गै पड्या,
30 and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”
अर उन ताहीं बाहरणै ल्याकै बोल्या, “हे भले माणसों, उद्धार पाण कै खात्तर मै के करुँ?”
31 And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
उननै कह्या, “प्रभु यीशु मसीह पै बिश्वास कर, तो तू अर तेरा कुण्बा उद्धार पावैगा।”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;
अर उननै उस ताहीं अर उसके सारे घर के माणसां ताहीं प्रभु का वचन सुणाया।
33 and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he bathed [them] from the blows, and immediately he and all of his were immersed,
रात नै उस्से बखत उसनै उन ताहीं ले जाकै उनके घाव धोये, अर उसनै अपणे सारे माणसां सुधा जिब्बे बपतिस्मा लिया।
34 having also brought them into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
फेर दरोग्गै नै उन ताहीं अपणे घरां ले जाकै उनकै आग्गै खाणा धरया, अर साब्ते कुण्बे सुधा परमेसवर पै बिश्वास करकै आनन्द करया।
35 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;
आगले दिन फेर हाकिमां नै सिपाहियाँ के हाथ्थां कहवां भेज्या के उन माणसां नै छोड़ द्यो।
36 and the jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace”;
दरोग्गै नै ये बात पौलुस तै कही, “हाकिमां नै थारे ताहीं छोड़ देण का हुकम दिया सै। ज्यांतै इब खुश होकै जाओ।”
37 and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”
पर पौलुस नै उनतै कह्या, “उननै म्हारै ताहीं जो रोमी माणस सै, कसूरवार ठहराए बिना माणसां कै स्याम्ही मारया अर जेळ म्ह गेरया। इब के हमनै बोल-बाल्ले लिकाड़ण लागरे सै? इसा कोनी, पर वे खुद आकै हमनै बाहरणै लिकाड़ै।”
38 And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
सिपाहियाँ नै ये बात हाकिमां तै कही, अर वे न्यू सुणकै के वे रोम के बासिन्दे सै, डरगे,
39 and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;
अर आकै उन ताहीं मनाया, अर बाहरणै ले जाकै बिनती करी के नगर चले जाओ।
40 and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
वे जेळ तै लिकड़कै लुदिया कै उरै गये, अर बिश्वासी भाईयाँ तै भेंट करकै उन ताहीं शान्ति देई, अर चले गये।
