Acts 13
1 Now, there were in the congregation that was at Antioch, certain prophets and teachers; particularly, Barnabas, and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius, the Cyrenian, and Manaen, who was educated with Herod, the tetrarch, and Saul.
aparañca barṇabbāḥ, śimon yaṁ nigraṁ vadanti, kurīnīyalūkiyo herodā rājñā saha kṛtavidyābhyāso minahem, śaulaścaite ye kiyanto janā bhaviṣyadvādina upadeṣṭāraścāntiyakhiyānagarasthamaṇḍalyām āsan,
2 And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me Barnabas and Saul, for 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 And having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them; they dismissed them.
tatastairupavāsaprārthanayoḥ kṛtayoḥ satoste tayo rgātrayo rhastārpaṇaṁ kṛtvā tau vyasṛjan|
4 They, therefore, being sent by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus;
tataḥ paraṁ tau pavitreṇātmanā preritau santau silūkiyānagaram upasthāya samudrapathena kupropadvīpam agacchatāṁ|
5 and being arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John for their attendant.
tataḥ sālāmīnagaram upasthāya tatra yihūdīyānāṁ bhajanabhavanāni gatveśvarasya kathāṁ prācārayatāṁ; yohanapi tatsahacaro'bhavat|
6 And having traversed the island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain Jew, a magician and false prophet, whose name was Barjesus;
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, a prudent man; who calling for Barnabas and Saul desired to hear the word of God.
taddeśādhipa īśvarasya kathāṁ śrotuṁ vāñchan paulabarṇabbau nyamantrayat|
8 But Elymas, the magician, (for that was his name, when translated, ) withstood them, endeavoring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
kintvilumā yaṁ māyāvinaṁ vadanti sa deśādhipatiṁ dharmmamārgād bahirbhūtaṁ karttum ayatata|
9 Then Saul, (who is also called Paul, ) being filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking steadfastly upon him,
tasmāt śolo'rthāt paulaḥ pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san taṁ māyāvinaṁ pratyananyadṛṣṭiṁ kṛtvākathayat,
10 said, O! full of all deceit, and of all wickedness! child of the devil! enemy of all righteousness! will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
he narakin dharmmadveṣin kauṭilyaduṣkarmmaparipūrṇa, tvaṁ kiṁ prabhoḥ satyapathasya viparyyayakaraṇāt kadāpi na nivarttiṣyase?
11 And, behold, now the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, and not see the sun for a time. And, immediately, a mist and darkness fell upon him; and going about, he sought 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, seeing what was done, believed; being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.
enāṁ ghaṭanāṁ dṛṣṭvā sa deśādhipatiḥ prabhūpadeśād vismitya viśvāsaṁ kṛtavān|
13 And loosing from Paphos, they who were with Paul, came to Perga, in Pamphylia; but John withdrew himself from them, and returned to Jerusalem.
tadanantaraṁ paulastatsaṅginau ca pāphanagarāt protaṁ cālayitvā pamphuliyādeśasya pargīnagaram agacchan kintu yohan tayoḥ samīpād etya yirūśālamaṁ pratyāgacchat|
14 Nevertheless, they, going on from Perga, came to Antioch, in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
paścāt tau pargīto yātrāṁ kṛtvā pisidiyādeśasya āntiyakhiyānagaram upasthāya viśrāmavāre bhajanabhavanaṁ praviśya samupāviśatāṁ|
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets; the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to the people, speak it.
vyavasthābhaviṣyadvākyayoḥ paṭhitayoḥ sato rhe bhrātarau lokān prati yuvayoḥ kācid upadeśakathā yadyasti tarhi tāṁ vadataṁ tau prati tasya bhajanabhavanasyādhipatayaḥ kathām etāṁ kathayitvā praiṣayan|
16 Then Paul stood up, and waiving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, hearken.
ataḥ paula uttiṣṭhan hastena saṅketaṁ kurvvan kathitavān he isrāyelīyamanuṣyā īśvaraparāyaṇāḥ sarvve lokā yūyam avadhaddhaṁ|
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and raised the people while sojourning in the land of Egypt; and led them out of it with an uplifted arm.
eteṣāmisrāyellokānām īśvaro'smākaṁ pūrvvaparuṣān manonītān katvā gṛhītavān tato misari deśe pravasanakāle teṣāmunnatiṁ kṛtvā tasmāt svīyabāhubalena tān bahiḥ kṛtvā samānayat|
18 And for a space of about forty years, he endured their behavior in the wilderness.
catvāriṁśadvatsarān yāvacca mahāprāntare teṣāṁ bharaṇaṁ kṛtvā
19 And having cast out seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their country to them for an inheritance.
kināndeśāntarvvarttīṇi saptarājyāni nāśayitvā guṭikāpātena teṣu sarvvadeśeṣu tebhyo'dhikāraṁ dattavān|
20 And after these transactions, which lasted about four hundred and fifty years' he gave them judges, till Samuel the prophet.
pañcāśadadhikacatuḥśateṣu vatsareṣu gateṣu ca śimūyelbhaviṣyadvādiparyyantaṁ teṣāmupari vicārayitṛn niyuktavān|
21 And, from that time, they desired a king: and God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the term of 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 a king; whom also he extolled, and said, "I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall 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 man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up to Israel, Jesus, the Saviour;
tasya svapratiśrutasya vākyasyānusāreṇa isrāyellokānāṁ nimittaṁ teṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ vaṁśād īśvara ekaṁ yīśuṁ (trātāram) udapādayat|
24 John having, to introduce his appearance, before he preached the immersion of reformation to all the people of Israel.
tasya prakāśanāt pūrvvaṁ yohan isrāyellokānāṁ sannidhau manaḥparāvarttanarūpaṁ majjanaṁ prācārayat|
25 And when John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do you imagine me to be? I am not He; but behold, there comes one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
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 Brethren, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God; to you is the word of this salvation sent:
he ibrāhīmo vaṁśajātā bhrātaro he īśvarabhītāḥ sarvvalokā yuṣmān prati paritrāṇasya kathaiṣā preritā|
27 for the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the sayings of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath day; have fulfilled them in condemning him.
yirūśālamnivāsinasteṣām adhipatayaśca tasya yīśoḥ paricayaṁ na prāpya prativiśrāmavāraṁ paṭhyamānānāṁ bhaviṣyadvādikathānām abhiprāyam abuddhvā ca tasya vadhena tāḥ kathāḥ saphalā akurvvan|
28 And though they could find no cause of death in him; yet they requested Pilate that he might be executed.
prāṇahananasya kamapi hetum aprāpyāpi pīlātasya nikaṭe tasya vadhaṁ prārthayanta|
29 And when they had accomplished all things that were written concerning him; taking him down from the cross, they laid him in a tomb.
tasmin yāḥ kathā likhitāḥ santi tadanusāreṇa karmma sampādya taṁ kruśād avatāryya śmaśāne śāyitavantaḥ|
30 But God raised him up from the dead:
kintvīśvaraḥ śmaśānāt tamudasthāpayat,
31 and he appeared for several days to those that 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 bring you good tidings, that the very promise which was made to the fathers,
asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣāṇāṁ samakṣam īśvaro yasmin pratijñātavān yathā, tvaṁ me putrosi cādya tvāṁ samutthāpitavānaham|
33 God has accomplished to us, their children, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
idaṁ yadvacanaṁ dvitīyagīte likhitamāste tad yīśorutthānena teṣāṁ santānā ye vayam asmākaṁ sannidhau tena pratyakṣī kṛtaṁ, yuṣmān imaṁ susaṁvādaṁ jñāpayāmi|
34 And because he has raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus, "I will give you the sure mercies of David."
parameśvareṇa śmaśānād utthāpitaṁ tadīyaṁ śarīraṁ kadāpi na kṣeṣyate, etasmin sa svayaṁ kathitavān yathā dāyūdaṁ prati pratijñāto yo varastamahaṁ tubhyaṁ dāsyāmi|
35 Wherefore, also, in another place he says, "Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption."
etadanyasmin gīte'pi kathitavān| svakīyaṁ puṇyavantaṁ tvaṁ kṣayituṁ na ca dāsyasi|
36 Now David, having served his own generation according to the will of God; fell asleep, and was gathered 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 Be it known, therefore, to you, brethren, that by Him remission of sins is proclaimed to you:
ato he bhrātaraḥ, anena janena pāpamocanaṁ bhavatīti yuṣmān prati pracāritam āste|
39 and by Him, every one that believes is justified from all things; from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
phalato mūsāvyavasthayā yūyaṁ yebhyo doṣebhyo muktā bhavituṁ na śakṣyatha tebhyaḥ sarvvadoṣebhya etasmin jane viśvāsinaḥ sarvve muktā bhaviṣyantīti yuṣmābhi rjñāyatāṁ|
40 See to it, therefore, that what is spoken in the prophets may not come upon you:
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 "Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I perform a work in your days; a work which you will not believe, though one should distinctly declare it to you."
yeyaṁ kathā bhaviṣyadvādināṁ grantheṣu likhitāste sāvadhānā bhavata sa kathā yathā yuṣmān prati na ghaṭate|
42 Now, when going out, they requested that these words might be spoken to them, on the following Sabbath.
yihūdīyabhajanabhavanān nirgatayostayo rbhinnadeśīyai rvakṣyamāṇā prārthanā kṛtā, āgāmini viśrāmavāre'pi katheyam asmān prati pracāritā bhavatviti|
43 And when the synagogue was broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, persuaded them to persevere in the favor 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 following Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together, to hear the word of God.
paraviśrāmavāre nagarasya prāyeṇa sarvve lākā īśvarīyāṁ kathāṁ śrotuṁ militāḥ,
45 But the Jews, seeing the multitudes, were filled with zeal; and opposed the things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
kintu yihūdīyalokā jananivahaṁ vilokya īrṣyayā paripūrṇāḥ santo viparītakathākathaneneśvaranindayā ca paulenoktāṁ kathāṁ khaṇḍayituṁ ceṣṭitavantaḥ|
46 Then Paul and Barnabas, with great freedom of speech, said, It was necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you thrust it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life; behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (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 charged us, saying, "I have set you for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth."
prabhurasmān ittham ādiṣṭavān yathā, yāvacca jagataḥ sīmāṁ lokānāṁ trāṇakāraṇāt| mayānyadeśamadhye tvaṁ sthāpito bhūḥ pradīpavat||
48 And the Gentiles hearing this, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were disposed for eternal life, believed. (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 published throughout all that region.
itthaṁ prabhoḥ kathā sarvvedeśaṁ vyāpnot|
50 But the Jews stirred up some devout women of considerable rank, and the magistrates of the city; and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories.
kintu yihūdīyā nagarasya pradhānapuruṣān sammānyāḥ kathipayā bhaktā yoṣitaśca kupravṛttiṁ grāhayitvā paulabarṇabbau tāḍayitvā tasmāt pradeśād dūrīkṛtavantaḥ|
51 And they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
ataḥ kāraṇāt tau nijapadadhūlīsteṣāṁ prātikūlyena pātayitvekaniyaṁ nagaraṁ gatau|
52 But the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.
tataḥ śiṣyagaṇa ānandena pavitreṇātmanā ca paripūrṇobhavat|
