Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You are permitted to speak for yourself." So Paul stretched forth his hand and began to make his defense.
अग्रिप्पा नै पौलुस तै कह्या, “तेरे ताहीं अपणे बाबत बोल्लण की आज्ञा सै।” फेर पौलुस हाथ तै इशारा करकै जवाब देण लाग्या,
2 "I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you this day, in regard to all the accusations brought against me by the Jews;
“हे राजा अग्रिप्पा, जितनी बात्तां का यहूदी अगुवें मेरै पै इल्जाम लावै सै, आज तेरे स्याम्ही उनका जवाब देण म्ह अपणे ताहीं धन्य समझूँ सूं,
3 "especially since you are an export in all Jewish customs and questions. I pray you, expert in all Jewish customs and questions. I pray you, hear me with patience.
खास करकै ज्यांतै के तू सारी यहूदी प्रथा अर परेशानियाँ नै भली-भाँति जाणै सै। इस करकै मै बिनती करुँ सूं, धीरज तै मेरी सुण।”
4 "The kind of life I have lived from my youth upward among my own nation and at Jerusalem, all that early life of mine, is well known to all the Jews.
“मेरा चाल-चलण शरुआत तै अपणी जात कै बिचाळै अर यरुशलेम नगर म्ह जिसा था, उसका सारे यहूदियाँ नै बेरा सै।
5 "They know me of old, if they are willing to testify, how that according to the strict sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.
जै वे गवाही देणा चाहवैं, तो तू मेरै ताहीं तब तै पिच्छाणै सै जिब मै जवान था, के मै फरीसी होकै अपणे धर्म कै सबतै खरे पन्थ कै मुताबिक चाल्या।
6 "Today I am standing trial because of the hope of the promise made by God to our ancestors,
अर आज मै परमेसवर के जरिये म्हारे पूर्वजां नै दिए गये उस वादे की आस के कारण उरै दोषी के रूप म्ह खड्या सूं।
7 "a promise which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. It is concerning this hope, King Agrippa, that I am accused by the Jews.
यो वोए वादा सै, जिसके पूरे होण की आस म्हारे बारहां कुल दिन-रात सच्चाई म्ह परमेसवर की भगति-आराधना करदे होए आये सै। हे राजा, आज मेरे पै यहूदियाँ के जरिये मुकद्दमा इस्से आस कै कारण चलाया जाण लागरया सै।
8 "Why is it deemed incredible by you all, if God raises the dead?
जिब के परमेसवर मरे होया नै जिन्दा करै सै, तो थारे उरै या बात क्यांतै बिश्वास कै जोग्गी कोनी समझी जान्दी?”
9 "I indeed once thought with myself that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus, the Nazarene.
“मन्नै भी समझया था के यीशु नासरी कै नाम कै बिरोध म्ह मन्नै भोत कुछ करणा चाहिये।
10 "And this also I did in Jerusalem. Armed with authority from the chief priests, I shut up many of the saints in prison, and when they were condemned to death I gave my vote against them.
अर मन्नै यरुशलेम नगर म्ह न्यूए करया, अर प्रधान याजकां तै हक पाकै घणखरे पवित्र माणसां ताहीं जेळ म्ह गेरया, अर जिब वे मार दिये जावै थे तो मै भी उनकै बिरोध म्ह अपणी राय द्यु था।
11 "In all the synagogues also I punished them oftentimes, and tried to make them blaspheme; and in my mad fury I was pursuing them even to foreign cities.
हरेक आराधनालय म्ह मै उन ताहीं कांल कर-करकै यीशु की बुराई करवाऊँ था, उरै ताहीं के छो के मारे इसा बावळा होग्या के दुसरे नगरां म्ह भी जाकै उन ताहीं कांल करुँ था।”
12 "On this errand I was traveling to Damascus one day, armed with authority and commission of the chief priests,
“इस्से धुन म्ह जिब मै प्रधान याजकां तै अधिकार अर हुकम-चिट्ठी लेकै दमिश्क नगर नै जाण लागरया था,
13 "when at noon, as I journeyed, O King, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and around those who journeyed with me.
तो हे राजा, राह म्ह दोफारी कै बखत मन्नै अकास तै सूरज कै तेज तै भी बढ़कै एक चाँदणा, अपणे अर अपणे गेल्या चाल्लण आळा कै चौगरदे नै चमकदा होड़ देख्या।
14 "We all fell to the ground; and I heard a voice saying to me in Hebrew. "‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goad.’
जिब हम सारे धरती पै पड़गे, तो मन्नै इब्रानी भाषा म्ह, मेरै तै न्यू कहन्दे होए एक बोल सुण्या, ‘हे शाऊल, हे शाऊल, तू मन्नै क्यांतै सतावै सै? पैने पै लात मारणा तेरे खात्तर ओक्खा सै। (जै तू मन्नै सतावैगा तो तू खुद नै सतावैगा)’”
15 "‘Who are you, Lord?’ I said. "And the Lord said. ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
फेर मै बोल्या, “हे प्रभु, तू कौण सै?” प्रभु नै कह्या, “‘मै यीशु सूं, जिस ताहीं तू सतावै सै।
16 "‘But rise and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you in order to appoint you my minister and my witness both of what you have already seen and of those things in which I will appear to you.
पर तू उठ, अपणे पायां पै खड्या हो, क्यूँके मन्नै तेरे ताहीं ज्यांतै दर्शन दिया सै के तन्नै उन बात्तां का भी सेवक अर गवाह ठहराऊँ, जो तन्नै देक्खी सै, अर उनका भी जिनकै खात्तर मै तन्नै दर्शन दियुँगा।
17 "‘I will deliver you from the Jewish people, and from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you to open their eyes
अर मै तन्नै तेरे माणसां तै अर गैर यहूदियाँ तै बचान्दा रहूँगा, जिनकै धोरै मै इब तन्नै इस करकै भेज्जू सूं
18 "‘so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order to receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
के तू उनकी आँख खोल्लै के वे अन्धेरै तै चाँदणे कान्ही, अर शैतान कै अधिकार तै परमेसवर कै कान्ही पलटै, इस करकै के पापां की माफी अर उन माणसां कै गेल्या जो मेरै पै बिश्वास करण तै पवित्र करे गये सै, वसियत पावैं।’”
19 "So then, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision;
“इस करकै हे राजा अग्रिप्पा, मन्नै उस सुर्गीय दर्शन की बात कोनी टाळी,
20 "but I proceeded to preach, first to those in Damascus, and then in Jerusalem and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they must repent and turn to God and do deeds worthy of repentance.
मन्नै सबतै पैहल्या दमिश्क नगर कै, फेर यरुशलेम नगर कै, अर फेर यहूदिया परदेस के बासिन्दा ताहीं, अर गैर यहूदियाँ म्ह भी यो प्रचार करदा रहया के पाप करणा छोड़कै परमेसवर कान्ही बोहड़ आओ, अर अपणे सुभाव के जरिये यो साबित करो के थमनै पाप करणा छोड़ दिया सै।
21 "For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple, and tried to kill me.
इन बात्तां कै कारण यहूदी मन्नै मन्दर म्ह पकड़कै मार देण की कोशिश करै थे।
22 "But having obtained the help that comes from God, I stand even to this day witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing except what the prophets and Moses said should come;
पर परमेसवर की मदद तै मै आज ताहीं बण्या सूं छोट्या-बड़या सारया कै स्याम्ही गवाही द्यूँ सूं, अर उन बात्तां नै छोड़ किमे कोनी कहन्दा जो नबियाँ अर मूसा नबी नै भी कह्या के होण आळी सै,
23 "how that the Christ must suffer, and how he should be the first to rise from the dead, and should bring a message of light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."
के मसीह नै दुख ठाणा होगा, अर वोए सब तै पैहल्या मरे होया म्ह तै जी उठकै, म्हारै माणसां म्ह गैर यहूदियाँ म्ह चाँदणे का प्रचार करैगा।”
24 As Paul thus made his defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice. "Paul, you are raving mad; your great learning is driving you mad."
जिब वो इस तरियां तै जवाब देण लागरया था, तो फेस्तुस नै ऊँच्ची आवाज म्ह कह्या, “हे पौलुस, तू बावळा सै। घणे ज्ञान नै तेरे ताहीं बावळा कर दिया सै।”
25 "I am not mad, most noble Festus," said Paul,
पर पौलुस नै कह्या, “हे महामहिम फेस्तुस, मै बावळा कोनी, पर सच्चाई अर बुद्धि की बात कहूँ सूं।
26 "I am speaking words of sober truth. For the King, to whom I am speaking freely, knows of these matters. I am persuaded that not one of these things has escaped his notice; for these things were not done in a corner.
राजा नै भी जिसकै स्याम्ही मै बिना डरे बोल्लण लागरया सूं, इन बात्तां का बेरा सै, अर मन्नै बिश्वास सै के इन बात्तां म्ह तै कोए उसतै लुक्ही कोनी, क्यूँके यो वाक्या गुप्त म्ह कोनी होया।
27 "King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe."
हे राजा अग्रिप्पा, के तू नबियाँ का बिश्वास करै सै? हाँ, मन्नै बेरा सै के तू बिश्वास करै सै।”
28 Agrippa answered, "In short, you are doing your best to persuade me to become a Christian."
फेर अग्रिप्पा नै पौलुस तै कह्या, “तू माड़े-से समझाण तै मन्नै मसीह बणाणा चाहवै सै?”
29 "Long or short," answered Paul, "my prayer to God is that not only you but all who are my hearers this day might become such as I am, save for these chains."
पौलुस बोल्या, “परमेसवर तै मेरी प्रार्थना सै के, देर या सबेर तै, पर ये सारे सुणण आळे, जो आज मेरी बात सुणै सै, वे मेरै समान हो जावै।”
30 Then the king rose, and Bernice, and those who were sitting with him.
फेर राजा अर अधिकारी अर बिरनीके अर उनकै गेल्या बैठणीये उठ खड़े होए,
31 When they had withdrawn they continued talking to one another. "This man is doing nothing," they said, "for which he deserves death or imprisonment."
न्यायालय तै बाहर लिकाड़कै आप्पस म्ह कहण लाग्गे, “यो माणस इसा तो किमे कोनी करदा, जो मौत की सजा या जेळ, म्ह गेरण जोग्गा हो।”
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, "If he had not appealed to Caesar, he might have been set free."
अग्रिप्पा नै फेस्तुस तै कह्या, “जै यो माणस कैसर की दुहाई न्ही देंदा, तो छूट सकै था।”
