Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, in Apollos being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples,
karinthanagara āpallasaḥ sthitikālē paula uttarapradēśairāgacchan iphiṣanagaram upasthitavān| tatra katipayaśiṣyān sākṣat prāpya tān apr̥cchat,
2 he said to them, “Having believed, did you receive the Holy Spirit?” And they said to him, “But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit”;
yūyaṁ viśvasya pavitramātmānaṁ prāptā na vā? tatastē pratyavadan pavitra ātmā dīyatē ityasmābhiḥ śrutamapi nahi|
3 and he said to them, “Into what, then, were you immersed?” And they said, “Into John’s immersion.”
tadā sā'vadat tarhi yūyaṁ kēna majjitā abhavata? tē'kathayan yōhanō majjanēna|
4 And Paul said, “John, indeed, immersed with an immersion of conversion, saying to the people that they should believe in Him who is coming after him—that is, in the Christ—Jesus”;
tadā paula uktavān itaḥ paraṁ ya upasthāsyati tasmin arthata yīśukhrīṣṭē viśvasitavyamityuktvā yōhan manaḥparivarttanasūcakēna majjanēna jalē lōkān amajjayat|
5 and they, having heard, were immersed into the Name of the Lord Jesus,
tādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā tē prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā majjitā abhavan|
6 and Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, they were also speaking with tongues, and prophesying,
tataḥ paulēna tēṣāṁ gātrēṣu karē'rpitē tēṣāmupari pavitra ātmāvarūḍhavān, tasmāt tē nānādēśīyā bhāṣā bhaviṣyatkathāśca kathitavantaḥ|
7 and all the men were, as it were, twelve.
tē prāyēṇa dvādaśajanā āsan|
8 And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the Kingdom of God,
paulō bhajanabhavanaṁ gatvā prāyēṇa māsatrayam īśvarasya rājyasya vicāraṁ kr̥tvā lōkān pravartya sāhasēna kathāmakathayat|
9 and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of The Way before the multitude, having departed from them, he separated the disciples, reasoning every day in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
kintu kaṭhināntaḥkaraṇatvāt kiyantō janā na viśvasya sarvvēṣāṁ samakṣam ētatpathasya nindāṁ karttuṁ pravr̥ttāḥ, ataḥ paulastēṣāṁ samīpāt prasthāya śiṣyagaṇaṁ pr̥thakkr̥tvā pratyahaṁ turānnanāmnaḥ kasyacit janasya pāṭhaśālāyāṁ vicāraṁ kr̥tavān|
10 And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks,
itthaṁ vatsaradvayaṁ gataṁ tasmād āśiyādēśanivāsinaḥ sarvvē yihūdīyā anyadēśīyalōkāśca prabhō ryīśōḥ kathām aśrauṣan|
11 also mighty works—not common—God was working through the hands of Paul,
paulēna ca īśvara ētādr̥śānyadbhutāni karmmāṇi kr̥tavān
12 so that even to the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.
yat paridhēyē gātramārjanavastrē vā tasya dēhāt pīḍitalōkānām samīpam ānītē tē nirāmayā jātā apavitrā bhūtāśca tēbhyō bahirgatavantaḥ|
13 And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took on [them] to name over those having the evil spirits the Name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches”;
tadā dēśāṭanakāriṇaḥ kiyantō yihūdīyā bhūtāpasāriṇō bhūtagrastanōkānāṁ sannidhau prabhē ryīśō rnāma japtvā vākyamidam avadan, yasya kathāṁ paulaḥ pracārayati tasya yīśō rnāmnā yuṣmān ājñāpayāmaḥ|
14 and there were certain—seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest—who are doing this thing;
skivanāmnō yihūdīyānāṁ pradhānayājakasya saptabhiḥ puttaistathā kr̥tē sati
15 and the evil spirit, answering, said, “I know Jesus, and I am acquainted with Paul; and you—who are you?”
kaścid apavitrō bhūtaḥ pratyuditavān, yīśuṁ jānāmi paulañca paricinōmi kintu kē yūyaṁ?
16 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that they fled naked and wounded out of that house,
ityuktvā sōpavitrabhūtagrastō manuṣyō lamphaṁ kr̥tvā tēṣāmupari patitvā balēna tān jitavān, tasmāttē nagnāḥ kṣatāṅgāśca santastasmād gēhāt palāyanta|
17 and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the Name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified;
sā vāg iphiṣanagaranivāsinasaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnadēśīyānāṁ lōkānāñca śravōgōcarībhūtā; tataḥ sarvvē bhayaṁ gatāḥ prabhō ryīśō rnāmnō yaśō 'varddhata|
18 many also of those who believed were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,
yēṣāmanēkēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ pratītirajāyata ta āgatya svaiḥ kr̥tāḥ kriyāḥ prakāśarūpēṇāṅgīkr̥tavantaḥ|
19 and many of those who had practiced the superfluous arts, having brought the scrolls together, were burning [them] before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found [it] fifty thousand pieces of silver,
bahavō māyākarmmakāriṇaḥ svasvagranthān ānīya rāśīkr̥tya sarvvēṣāṁ samakṣam adāhayan, tatō gaṇanāṁ kr̥tvābudhyanta pañcāyutarūpyamudrāmūlyapustakāni dagdhāni|
20 so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.
itthaṁ prabhōḥ kathā sarvvadēśaṁ vyāpya prabalā jātā|
21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying, “After my being there, it is also necessary for me to see Rome”;
sarvvēṣvētēṣu karmmasu sampannēṣu satsu paulō mākidaniyākhāyādēśābhyāṁ yirūśālamaṁ gantuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā kathitavān tatsthānaṁ yātrāyāṁ kr̥tāyāṁ satyāṁ mayā rōmānagaraṁ draṣṭavyaṁ|
22 and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him—Timotheus and Erastus—he himself stayed a time in Asia.
svānugatalōkānāṁ tīmathiyērāstau dvau janau mākidaniyādēśaṁ prati prahitya svayam āśiyādēśē katipayadināni sthitavān|
23 And there came, at that time, not a little stir about The Way,
kintu tasmin samayē matē'smin kalahō jātaḥ|
24 for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the craftsmen not a little gain,
tatkāraṇamidaṁ, arttimīdēvyā rūpyamandiranirmmāṇēna sarvvēṣāṁ śilpināṁ yathēṣṭalābham ajanayat yō dīmītriyanāmā nāḍīndhamaḥ
25 whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who worked around such things, he said, “Men, you know that by this work we have our wealth;
sa tān tatkarmmajīvinaḥ sarvvalōkāṁśca samāhūya bhāṣitavān hē mahēcchā ētēna mandiranirmmāṇēnāsmākaṁ jīvikā bhavati, ētad yūyaṁ vittha;
26 and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, turned away a great multitude, saying that they who are made by hands are not gods;
kintu hastanirmmitēśvarā īśvarā nahi paulanāmnā kēnacijjanēna kathāmimāṁ vyāhr̥tya kēvalēphiṣanagarē nahi prāyēṇa sarvvasmin āśiyādēśē pravr̥ttiṁ grāhayitvā bahulōkānāṁ śēmuṣī parāvarttitā, ētad yuṣmābhi rdr̥śyatē śrūyatē ca|
27 and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis, the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
tēnāsmākaṁ vāṇijyasya sarvvathā hānēḥ sambhavanaṁ kēvalamiti nahi, āśiyādēśasthai rvā sarvvajagatsthai rlōkaiḥ pūjyā yārtimī mahādēvī tasyā mandirasyāvajñānasya tasyā aiśvaryyasya nāśasya ca sambhāvanā vidyatē|
28 And having heard, and having become full of wrath, they were crying out, saying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!”
ētādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā tē mahākrōdhānvitāḥ santa uccaiḥkāraṁ kathitavanta iphiṣīyānām arttimī dēvī mahatī bhavati|
29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; they rushed also with one accord into the theater, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s fellow-travelers.
tataḥ sarvvanagaraṁ kalahēna paripūrṇamabhavat, tataḥ paraṁ tē mākidanīyagāyāristārkhanāmānau paulasya dvau sahacarau dhr̥tvaikacittā raṅgabhūmiṁ javēna dhāvitavantaḥ|
30 And on Paul’s resolving to enter in to the populace, the disciples were not permitting him,
tataḥ paulō lōkānāṁ sannidhiṁ yātum udyatavān kintu śiṣyagaṇastaṁ vāritavān|
31 and also some of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent to him, were pleading [with] him not to venture into the theater himself.
paulasyatmīyā āśiyādēśasthāḥ katipayāḥ pradhānalōkāstasya samīpaṁ naramēkaṁ prēṣya tvaṁ raṅgabhūmiṁ māgā iti nyavēdayan|
32 Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they had come together;
tatō nānālōkānāṁ nānākathākathanāt sabhā vyākulā jātā kiṁ kāraṇād ētāvatī janatābhavat ētad adhikai rlōkai rnājñāyi|
33 and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander—the Jews thrusting him forward—and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defense to the populace,
tataḥ paraṁ janatāmadhyād yihūdīyairbahiṣkr̥taḥ sikandarō hastēna saṅkētaṁ kr̥tvā lōkēbhya uttaraṁ dātumudyatavān,
34 and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!”
kintu sa yihūdīyalōka iti niścitē sati iphiṣīyānām arttimī dēvī mahatīti vākyaṁ prāyēṇa pañca daṇḍān yāvad ēkasvarēṇa lōkanivahaiḥ prōktaṁ|
35 And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, says, “Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus?
tatō nagarādhipatistān sthirān kr̥tvā kathitavān hē iphiṣāyāḥ sarvvē lōkā ākarṇayata, artimīmahādēvyā mahādēvāt patitāyāstatpratimāyāśca pūjanama iphiṣanagarasthāḥ sarvvē lōkāḥ kurvvanti, ētat kē na jānanti?
36 These things, then, being undeniable, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
tasmād ētatpratikūlaṁ kēpi kathayituṁ na śaknuvanti, iti jñātvā yuṣmābhiḥ susthiratvēna sthātavyam avivicya kimapi karmma na karttavyañca|
37 For you brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor slandering of your goddess;
yān ētān manuṣyān yūyamatra samānayata tē mandiradravyāpahārakā yuṣmākaṁ dēvyā nindakāśca na bhavanti|
38 if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a matter with anyone, court [days] are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another.
yadi kañcana prati dīmītriyasya tasya sahāyānāñca kācid āpatti rvidyatē tarhi pratinidhilōkā vicārasthānañca santi, tē tat sthānaṁ gatvā uttarapratyuttarē kurvvantu|
39 And if you seek after anything concerning other matters, it will be determined in the legal assembly;
kintu yuṣmākaṁ kācidaparā kathā yadi tiṣṭhati tarhi niyamitāyāṁ sabhāyāṁ tasyā niṣpatti rbhaviṣyati|
40 for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we will be able to give an account of this concourse”;
kintvētasya virōdhasyōttaraṁ yēna dātuṁ śaknum ētādr̥śasya kasyacit kāraṇasyābhāvād adyatanaghaṭanāhētō rājadrōhiṇāmivāsmākam abhiyōgō bhaviṣyatīti śaṅkā vidyatē|
41 and having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
iti kathayitvā sa sabhāsthalōkān visr̥ṣṭavān|
