Acts 11
1 Now the Apostles and brethren who were in Jerusalem, heard, that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
itthaṁ bhinnadeśīyalokā apīśvarasya vākyam agṛhlan imāṁ vārttāṁ yihūdīyadeśasthapreritā bhrātṛgaṇaśca śrutavantaḥ|
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,
tataḥ pitare yirūśālamnagaraṁ gatavati tvakchedino lokāstena saha vivadamānā avadan,
3 saying, You did go in to men who were uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
tvam atvakchedilokānāṁ gṛhaṁ gatvā taiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuktavān|
4 And Peter beginning, opened to them the matter in order, saying,
tataḥ pitara āditaḥ kramaśastatkāryyasya sarvvavṛttāntamākhyātum ārabdhavān|
5 I was praying in the city of Joppa; and, in a trance, I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending from heaven, let down by the four corners, and it came close to me:
yāphonagara ekadāhaṁ prārthayamāno mūrcchitaḥ san darśanena caturṣu koṇeṣu lambanamānaṁ vṛhadvastramiva pātramekam ākāśadavaruhya mannikaṭam āgacchad apaśyam|
6 and looking attentively upon it, I observed, and saw four-footed creatures of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air:
paścāt tad ananyadṛṣṭyā dṛṣṭvā vivicya tasya madhye nānāprakārān grāmyavanyapaśūn urogāmikhecarāṁśca dṛṣṭavān;
7 and I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter, kill, and eat:
he pitara tvamutthāya gatvā bhuṁkṣva māṁ sambodhya kathayantaṁ śabdamekaṁ śrutavāṁśca|
8 but I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.
tatohaṁ pratyavadaṁ, he prabho netthaṁ bhavatu, yataḥ kiñcana niṣiddham aśuci dravyaṁ vā mama mukhamadhyaṁ kadāpi na prāviśat|
9 And the voice answered me the second time from heaven, Those things which God has cleansed, do not you call common.
aparam īśvaro yat śuci kṛtavān tanniṣiddhaṁ na jānīhi dvi rmāmpratīdṛśī vihāyasīyā vāṇī jātā|
10 And this was done three times. And all the things were drawn up again into heaven.
triritthaṁ sati tat sarvvaṁ punarākāśam ākṛṣṭaṁ|
11 And behold, at that instant, three men were come to the house in which I was, sent from Cesarea to me.
paścāt kaisariyānagarāt trayo janā mannikaṭaṁ preṣitā yatra niveśane sthitohaṁ tasmin samaye tatropātiṣṭhan|
12 And the Spirit commanded me to go with them, without any scruple: and these six brethren also went along with me. And we entered into the man's house:
tadā niḥsandehaṁ taiḥ sārddhaṁ yātum ātmā māmādiṣṭavān; tataḥ paraṁ mayā sahaiteṣu ṣaḍbhrātṛṣu gateṣu vayaṁ tasya manujasya gṛhaṁ prāviśāma|
13 and he told us how he had seen a messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send to Joppa, and bring hither Simon, whose surname is Peter;
sosmākaṁ nikaṭe kathāmetām akathayat ekadā dūta ekaḥ pratyakṣībhūya mama gṛhamadhye tiṣṭan māmityājñāpitavān, yāphonagaraṁ prati lokān prahitya pitaranāmnā vikhyātaṁ śimonam āhūyaya;
14 who shall speak words to you, by which you and all your family shall be saved.
tatastava tvadīyaparivārāṇāñca yena paritrāṇaṁ bhaviṣyati tat sa upadekṣyati|
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as as on us at the beginning.
ahaṁ tāṁ kathāmutthāpya kathitavān tena prathamam asmākam upari yathā pavitra ātmāvarūḍhavān tathā teṣāmapyupari samavarūḍhavān|
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John immersed in water; but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit.
tena yohan jale majjitavān iti satyaṁ kintu yūyaṁ pavitra ātmani majjitā bhaviṣyatha, iti yadvākyaṁ prabhuruditavān tat tadā mayā smṛtam|
17 Since, therefore, God gave to them the same gift as he did to us, who had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I should be able to obstruct God?
ataḥ prabhā yīśukhrīṣṭe pratyayakāriṇo ye vayam asmabhyam īśvaro yad dattavān tat tebhyo lokebhyopi dattavān tataḥ kohaṁ? kimaham īśvaraṁ vārayituṁ śaknomi?
18 And when they heard these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God; saying, God has, then, given to the Gentile also reformation to life.
kathāmetāṁ śruvā te kṣāntā īśvarasya guṇān anukīrttya kathitavantaḥ, tarhi paramāyuḥprāptinimittam īśvaronyadeśīyalokebhyopi manaḥparivarttanarūpaṁ dānam adāt|
19 Now, indeed, those who had been dispersed, on account of the distress which arose about Stephen, had traveled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews only.
stiphānaṁ prati upadrave ghaṭite ye vikīrṇā abhavan tai phainīkīkuprāntiyakhiyāsu bhramitvā kevalayihūdīyalokān vinā kasyāpyanyasya samīpa īśvarasya kathāṁ na prācārayan|
20 Yet some of the, being men of Cyprus, and Cyrene; when they came to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, announcing the glad tidings concerning the Lord Jesus.
aparaṁ teṣāṁ kuprīyāḥ kurīnīyāśca kiyanto janā āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ gatvā yūnānīyalokānāṁ samīpepi prabhoryīśoḥ kathāṁ prācārayan|
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
prabhoḥ karasteṣāṁ sahāya āsīt tasmād aneke lokā viśvasya prabhuṁ prati parāvarttanta|
22 And the report concerning them came to the ears of the congregation that was at Jerusalem; and they sent Barnabas, to go as far as Antioch.
iti vārttāyāṁ yirūśālamasthamaṇḍalīyalokānāṁ karṇagocarībhūtāyām āntiyakhiyānagaraṁ gantu te barṇabbāṁ prairayan|
23 Who, when he was come, and beheld the favor of God, rejoiced, and exhorted them all to adhere to the Lord, with full determination of heart;
tato barṇabbāstatra upasthitaḥ san īśvarasyānugrahasya phalaṁ dṛṣṭvā sānando jātaḥ,
24 for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith: and a considerable number were added to the Lord.
sa svayaṁ sādhu rviśvāsena pavitreṇātmanā ca paripūrṇaḥ san ganoniṣṭayā prabhāvāsthāṁ karttuṁ sarvvān upadiṣṭavān tena prabhoḥ śiṣyā aneke babhūvuḥ|
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus, to seek Saul;
śeṣe śaulaṁ mṛgayituṁ barṇabbāstārṣanagaraṁ prasthitavān| tatra tasyoddeśaṁ prāpya tam āntiyakhiyānagaram ānayat;
26 and finding him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that they assembled with the congregation, for a whole year, and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first named Christians at Antioch.
tatastau maṇḍalīsthalokaiḥ sabhāṁ kṛtvā saṁvatsaramekaṁ yāvad bahulokān upādiśatāṁ; tasmin āntiyakhiyānagare śiṣyāḥ prathamaṁ khrīṣṭīyanāmnā vikhyātā abhavan|
27 And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
tataḥ paraṁ bhaviṣyadvādigaṇe yirūśālama āntiyakhiyānagaram āgate sati
28 And one of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over all the land: which came to pass in the days of Claudius.
āgābanāmā teṣāmeka utthāya ātmanaḥ śikṣayā sarvvadeśe durbhikṣaṁ bhaviṣyatīti jñāpitavān; tataḥ klaudiyakaisarasyādhikāre sati tat pratyakṣam abhavat|
29 And the disciples determined, that, according to the respective abilities of each, they should send to the assistance of the brethren who dwelt in Judea.
tasmāt śiṣyā ekaikaśaḥ svasvaśaktyanusārato yihūdīyadeśanivāsināṁ bhratṛṇāṁ dinayāpanārthaṁ dhanaṁ preṣayituṁ niścitya
30 And this they did, sending it to the elders, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
barṇabbāśaulayo rdvārā prācīnalokānāṁ samīpaṁ tat preṣitavantaḥ|
