< Acts 18 >

1 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.
تَدْگھَٹَناتَح پَرَں پَولَ آتھِینِینَگَرادْ یاتْراں کرِتْوا کَرِنْتھَنَگَرَمْ آگَچّھَتْ۔
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,
تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے کْلَودِیَح سَرْوّانْ یِہُودِییانْ رومانَگَرَں وِہایَ گَنْتُمْ آجْناپَیَتْ، تَسْماتْ پْرِسْکِلّانامْنا جایَیا سارْدّھَمْ اِتالِیادیشاتْ کِنْچِتْپُورْوَّمْ آگَمَتْ یَح پَنْتَدیشے جاتَ آکِّلَناما یِہُودِییَلوکَح پَولَسْتَں ساکْشاتْ پْراپْیَ تَیوح سَمِیپَمِتَوانْ۔
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
تَو دُوشْیَنِرْمّانَجِیوِنَو، تَسْماتْ پَرَسْپَرَمْ ایکَورِتِّکَتْواتْ سَ تابھْیاں سَہَ اُشِتْوا تَتْ کَرْمّاکَروتْ۔
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
پَولَح پْرَتِوِشْرامَوارَں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَں گَتْوا وِچارَں کرِتْوا یِہُودِییانْ اَنْیَدیشِییاںشْچَ پْرَورِتِّں گْراہِتَوانْ۔
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
سِیلَتِیمَتھِیَیو رْماکِدَنِیادیشاتْ سَمیتَیوح سَتوح پَولَ اُتَّپْتَمَنا بھُوتْوا یِیشُرِیشْوَرینابھِشِکْتو بھَوَتِیتِ پْرَمانَں یِہُودِییاناں سَمِیپے پْراداتْ۔
6 When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads. I am clean. From now on, I will go to the non-Jewish people."
کِنْتُ تے تِیوَ وِرودھَں وِدھایَ پاشَنْڈِییَکَتھاں کَتھِتَوَنْتَسْتَتَح پَولو وَسْتْرَں دھُنْوَنْ ایتاں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوانْ، یُشْماکَں شونِتَپاتاپَرادھو یُشْمانْ پْرَتْییوَ بھَوَتُ، تیناہَں نِرَپَرادھو دْیارَبھْیَ بھِنَّدیشِییاناں سَمِیپَں یامِ۔
7 He departed there, and went into the house of a certain man named Titius Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
سَ تَسْماتْ پْرَسْتھایَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنَسَمِیپَسْتھَسْیَ یُسْتَنامْنَ اِیشْوَرَبھَکْتَسْیَ بھِنَّدیشِییَسْیَ نِویشَنَں پْراوِشَتْ۔
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.
تَتَح کْرِیشْپَناما بھَجَنَبھَوَنادھِپَتِح سَپَرِوارَح پْرَبھَو وْیَشْوَسِیتْ، کَرِنْتھَنَگَرِییا بَہَوو لوکاشْچَ سَماکَرْنْیَ وِشْوَسْیَ مَجِّتا اَبھَوَنْ۔
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent;
کْشَنَدایاں پْرَبھُح پَولَں دَرْشَنَں دَتْوا بھاشِتَوانْ، ما بھَیشِیح، ما نِرَسِیح کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَ۔
10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city."
اَہَں تْوَیا سارْدّھَمْ آسَ ہِںسارْتھَں کوپِ تْواں سْپْرَشْٹُں نَ شَکْشْیَتِ نَگَرےسْمِنْ مَدِییا لوکا بَہَوَ آسَتے۔
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
تَسْماتْ پَولَسْتَنَّگَرے پْرایینَ سارْدّھَوَتْسَرَپَرْیَّنْتَں سَںسْتھاییشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھامْ اُپادِشَتْ۔
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,
گالِّیَناما کَشْچِدْ آکھایادیشَسْیَ پْراڈْوِواکَح سَمَبھَوَتْ، تَتو یِہُودِییا ایکَواکْیاح سَنْتَح پَولَمْ آکْرَمْیَ وِچارَسْتھانَں نِیتْوا
13 saying, "This one persuades people to worship God contrary to the law."
مانُشَ ایشَ وْیَوَسْتھایَ وِرُدّھَمْ اِیشْوَرَبھَجَنَں کَرْتُّں لوکانْ کُپْرَورِتِّں گْراہَیَتِیتِ نِویدِتَوَنْتَح۔
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;
تَتَح پَولے پْرَتْیُتَّرَں داتُمْ اُدْیَتے سَتِ گالِّیا یِہُودِییانْ وْیاہَرَتْ، یَدِ کَسْیَچِدْ اَنْیایَسْیَ واتِشَیَدُشْٹَتاچَرَنَسْیَ وِچاروبھَوِشْیَتْ تَرْہِ یُشْماکَں کَتھا مَیا سَہَنِییابھَوِشْیَتْ۔
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I do not want to be a judge of these matters."
کِنْتُ یَدِ کیوَلَں کَتھایا وا نامْنو وا یُشْماکَں وْیَوَسْتھایا وِوادو بھَوَتِ تَرْہِ تَسْیَ وِچارَمَہَں نَ کَرِشْیامِ، یُویَں تَسْیَ مِیماںساں کُرُتَ۔
16 He drove them from the judgment seat.
تَتَح سَ تانْ وِچارَسْتھانادْ دُورِیکرِتَوانْ۔
17 Then they all took hold of Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. But none of these things were of concern to Gallio.
تَدا بھِنَّدیشِییاح سوسْتھِنِنامانَں بھَجَنَبھَوَنَسْیَ پْرَدھانادھِپَتِں دھرِتْوا وِچارَسْتھانَسْیَ سَمُّکھے پْراہَرَنْ تَتھاپِ گالِّیا تیشُ سَرْوَّکَرْمَّسُ نَ مَنو نْیَدَدھاتْ۔
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
پَولَسْتَتْرَ پُنَرْبَہُدِنانِ نْیَوَسَتْ، تَتو بھْراترِگَنادْ وِسَرْجَنَں پْراپْیَ کِنْچَنَوْرَتَنِمِتَّں کِںکْرِیانَگَرے شِرو مُنْڈَیِتْوا پْرِسْکِلّاکِّلابھْیاں سَہِتو جَلَپَتھینَ سُرِیادیشَں گَتَوانْ۔
19 They came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
تَتَ اِپھِشَنَگَرَ اُپَسْتھایَ تَتْرَ تَو وِسرِجْیَ سْوَیَں بھَجَنَبھْوَنَں پْرَوِشْیَ یِہُودِییَیح سَہَ وِچارِتَوانْ۔
20 When they asked him to stay a longer time, he declined;
تے سْوَیح سارْدّھَں پُنَح کَتِپَیَدِنانِ سْتھاتُں تَں وْیَنَیَنْ، سَ تَدَنُرَرِیکرِتْیَ کَتھامیتاں کَتھِتَوانْ،
21 but taking his leave of them, and saying, "I will return again to you if God wills," he set sail from Ephesus.
یِرُوشالَمِ آگامْیُتْسَوَپالَنارْتھَں مَیا گَمَنِییَں؛ پَشْچادْ اِیشْوَریچّھایاں جاتایاں یُشْماکَں سَمِیپَں پْرَتْیاگَمِشْیامِ۔ تَتَح پَرَں سَ تَے رْوِسرِشْٹَح سَنْ جَلَپَتھینَ اِپھِشَنَگَراتْ پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church, and went down to Antioch.
تَتَح کَیسَرِیامْ اُپَسْتھِتَح سَنْ نَگَرَں گَتْوا سَماجَں نَمَسْکرِتْیَ تَسْمادْ آنْتِیَکھِیانَگَرَں پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔
23 Having spent some time there, he departed, and went through the region of Galatia, and Phrygia, in order, strengthening all the disciples.
تَتْرَ کِیَتْکالَں یاپَیِتْوا تَسْماتْ پْرَسْتھایَ سَرْوّیشاں شِشْیاناں مَناںسِ سُسْتھِرانِ کرِتْوا کْرَمَشو گَلاتِیاپھْرُگِیادیشَیو رْبھْرَمِتْوا گَتَوانْ۔
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.
تَسْمِنّیوَ سَمَیے سِکَنْدَرِیانَگَرے جاتَ آپَلّوناما شاسْتْرَوِتْ سُوَکْتا یِہُودِییَ ایکو جَنَ اِپھِشَنَگَرَمْ آگَتَوانْ۔
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
سَ شِکْشِتَپْرَبھُمارْگو مَنَسودْیوگِی چَ سَنْ یوہَنو مَجَّنَماتْرَں جْناتْوا یَتھارْتھَتَیا پْرَبھوح کَتھاں کَتھَیَنْ سَمُپادِشَتْ۔
26 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
ایشَ جَنو نِرْبھَیَتْوینَ بھَجَنَبھَوَنے کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبْدھَوانْ، تَتَح پْرِسْکِلّاکِّلَو تَسْیوپَدیشَکَتھاں نِشَمْیَ تَں سْوَیوح سَمِیپَمْ آنِییَ شُدّھَرُوپینیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھامْ اَبودھَیَتامْ۔
27 When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;
پَشْچاتْ سَ آکھایادیشَں گَنْتُں مَتِں کرِتَوانْ، تَدا تَتْرَتْیَح شِشْیَگَنو یَتھا تَں گرِہْلاتِ تَدَرْتھَں بھْراترِگَنینَ سَماشْوَسْیَ پَتْرے لِکھِتے سَتِ، آپَلّاسْتَتْروپَسْتھِتَح سَنْ اَنُگْرَہینَ پْرَتْیَیِناں بَہُوپَکارانْ اَکَروتْ،
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
پھَلَتو یِیشُرَبھِشِکْتَسْتْراتیتِ شاسْتْرَپْرَمانَں دَتْوا پْرَکاشَرُوپینَ پْرَتِپَنَّں کرِتْوا یِہُودِییانْ نِرُتَّرانْ کرِتَوانْ۔
