Acts 23
1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, "Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day."
पौलुस नै यहूदी अगुवां की सभा की ओड़ गौर तै देख्या अर कह्या, “हे भाईयो, मन्नै आज ताहीं परमेसवर कै खात्तर जमा-कती सच्चे मन तै जीवन बिताया सै।”
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
इसपै हनन्याह महायाजक नै उन ताहीं जो उसकै धोरै खड़े थे, उसकै मुँह पै थप्पड़ मारण का हुकम दिया।
3 Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall. Do you sit to judge me according to the Law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?"
फेर पौलुस नै उसतै कह्या, “हे चुन्ना फिरी होड़ भीत, परमेसवर तेरे ताहीं मारैगा। तू नियम-कायदे कै मुताबिक मेरा न्याय करण नै बेठ्या सै, अर फेर के नियम-कायदे कै खिलाफ मेरै ताहीं मारण का हुकम देवै सै?”
4 Those who stood by said, "Do you malign God's high priest?"
जो धोरै खड़े थे उननै कह्या, “के तू परमेसवर कै महायाजक नै आच्छा-भुंडा बोल्लै सै?”
5 Paul said, "I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"
पौलुस नै कह्या, “हे भाईयो, मन्नै न्ही बेरा था के यो महायाजक सै, क्यूँके वचन म्ह लिख्या सै: ‘अपणे माणसां के प्रधान नै भुंडा ना बोलिए।’”
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged."
फेर पौलुस नै न्यू जाणकै के एक टोळ सदूकी अर दुसरा फरीसी लोग्गां का सै, यहूदी अगुवां की सभा म्ह रुक्का मारकै कह्या, “हे भाईयो, मै फरीसी अर फरीसी लोग्गां के वंश का सूं, मरे होया की आस अर पुनरुत्थान कै बारै म्ह मेरा मुकद्दमा होरया सै।”
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
जिब उसनै या बात कही तो फरीसियाँ अर सदूकियाँ म्ह दंगा होण लाग्या, अर सभा म्ह फूट पड़गी।
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
क्यूँके सदूकियाँ का बिश्वास तो न्यू कहवै सै, के ना पुनरुत्थान सै, ना सुर्गदूत अर ना आत्मा सै, पर फरीसी इन सारया नै मान्नैं सै।
9 A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, "We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit spoke to him, or an angel?"
फेर घणा दंगा माच्या अर कुछ शास्त्री जो फरीसियाँ के टोळ के थे, उठ लिए अर न्यू कहकै दंगा करण लाग्गे, “हम इस माणस म्ह कोए बुराई कोनी पांदे, अर जै कोए आत्मा या सुर्गदूत उसतै बोल्या सै तो फेर के होग्या?”
10 When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
जिब घणा दंगा होया, तो पलटन के सरदार नै इस भय तै के वे पौलुस के टुकड़े-टुकड़े ना कर देवै, पलटन ताहीं हुकम दिया के उतरकै उस ताहीं उनकै बिचाळै तै हाँगै तै लिकाड़ै, अर गढ़ म्ह ले जावै।
11 The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, "Cheer up, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome."
उस्से रात प्रभु यीशु नै उसकै धोरै खड़े होकै कह्या, “हे पौलुस, धीरज राख, क्यूँके जिसी तन्नै यरुशलेम नगर म्ह मेरी गवाही देई, उसीए तन्नै रोम म्ह भी गवाही देणी होगी।”
12 When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
जिब दिन लिकड़या तो यहूदियाँ नै साजिस रची अर कसम खाई के जिब ताहीं हम पौलुस नै मार न्ही देवा, जै हम खावां या पीवां तो म्हारै पै धिक्कार सै।
13 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
जिन नै आप्पस म्ह या कसम खाई थी, वे चाळीस जण्यां तै घणे थे।
14 They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
उननै प्रधान याजकां अर यहूदी अगुवां कै धोरै जाकै कह्या, “हमनै न्यू ठान लिया सै के जिब ताहीं हम पौलुस नै मार न्ही देंदे, जद ताहीं जै किमे चाक्खां तो म्हारै पै धिक्कार सै।
15 Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near."
इस करकै इब यहूदी अगुवां की सभा सुधा पलटन के सरदार नै समझाओ के उसनै थारे धोरै लियावै, मान ल्यो के थम उसकै बारै म्ह और भी सही तै जाँच करणा चाहवो सो, अर हम उसकै पोहोचण तै पैहल्याए उस ताहीं मार देण कै खात्तर त्यार रहवांगें।”
16 But Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
पौलुस कै भाण्जै नै सुण्या के वे उसकी टाह म्ह सै, तो गढ़ म्ह जाकै पौलुस ताहीं संदेशां दिया।
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, "Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him."
पौलुस नै सूबेदारां म्ह तै एक ताहीं अपणे धोरै बुलाकै कह्या, “इस जवान नै पलटन के सरदार कै धोरै ले जाओ, यो उसतै किमे कहणा चाहवै सै।”
18 So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to tell you."
इस करकै उसनै उस ताहीं पलटन के सरदार कै धोरै ले जाकै कह्या, “कैदी पौलुस नै मेरै ताहीं बुलाकै बिनती करी के यो जवान पलटन के सरदार तै किमे कहणा चाहवै सै, उस ताहीं उसकै धोरै ले जा।”
19 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"
पलटन के सरदार नै उसका हाथ पकड़कै अर न्यारा जाकै बुझ्झया, “तू मेरै तै के कहणा चाहवै सै?”
20 And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they intended to inquire somewhat more thoroughly concerning him.
वो बोल्या, “यहूदियाँ नै साजिस रची सै के तेरे तै बिनती करै के काल पौलुस नै यहूदी अगुवां की सभा म्ह ल्यावै, मान्नो वे और सही ढाळ तै उसकी जाँच करणा चाहवै सै।
21 Therefore do not yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you."
पर उनकी मानियो मतना, क्यूँके उन म्ह तै चाळीस कै उप्पर माणस उसनै मारण की टाह म्ह सै, जिन नै न्यू ठान लिया सै के जिब ताहीं वे पौलुस नै मार न्ही देवै, जद ताहीं ना खावैगें अर ना पीवैगें, अर इब वे त्यार सै अर तेरे वचन की बाट देखण लागरे सै।”
22 So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, "Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me."
फेर पलटन के सरदार नै जवान ताहीं यो हुकम देकै बिदा करया, “किसे तै ना कहिये के तन्नै मेरै तै ये बात बताई सै।”
23 He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, "Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at nine tonight."
फेर उसनै दो सूबेदारां ताहीं बुलाकै कह्या, “दो सौ सिपाही, सत्तर सवार, अर दो सौ भालैत, रात के नौ बजे कैसरिया नगर नै जाणकै खात्तर त्यार कर करो।
24 He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
अर पौलुस की सवारी कै खात्तर घोड़े त्यार राक्खो, के उस ताहीं फेलिक्स राज्यपाल कै धोरै राज्जी-खुशी तै पोहोचा दे।”
25 He wrote a letter like this:
उसनै इस तरियां की चिट्ठी भी लिक्खी
26 "Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
महामहिम फेलिक्स राज्यपाल ताहीं क्लौकियुस लूसियास का नमस्कार।
27 "This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
इस माणस ताहीं यहूदियाँ नै पकड़कै मार देणा चाह्या, पर जिब मन्नै जाण्या के रोमी सै, तो पलटन लेकै छुड़ा ल्याया।
28 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
मै जाणणा चाहूँ था के वे उसपै किस कारण दोष लावै सै, ज्यांतै उस ताहीं यहूदी अगुवां की सभा म्ह ले गया।
29 I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
फेर मन्नै जाण लिया के वे अपणे नियम-कायदे कै रोळे कै बारै म्ह उसपै इल्जाम लगावै सै, पर मार देण जोग्गा या बाँधे जाणकै जोग्गा उस म्ह कोए कसूर कोनी।
30 When I was told that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell."
जिब मेरै ताहीं बताया गया के वे इस माणस की टाह म्ह लागरे सै तो मन्नै जिब्बे उस ताहीं तेरे धोरै भेज दिया, अर बैरियाँ ताहीं भी हुकम दिया के तेरे स्याम्ही उसपै नालिश करै।
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
आखर म्ह जिसा सिपाहियाँ नै हुकम मिल्या था, उस्से तरियां ए वे पौलुस नै लेकै रातो-रात अन्तिपत्रिस म्ह आये।
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
दुसरे दिन वे सवारा नै उसकै गेल्या जाणकै खात्तर छोड़कै खुद यरुशलेम म्ह बोहड़ै।
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
उननै कैसरिया पोहचकै राज्यपाल ताहीं चिट्ठी दी, अर पौलुस ताहीं भी उसकै स्याम्ही खड्या करया।
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
राज्यपाल नै चिट्ठी पढ़कै बुझ्झया, “यो किस प्रान्त का सै?”
35 "I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive." He commanded that he be kept in Herod's palace.
अर जिब जाण लिया के किलिकिया परदेस का सै तो उसतै कह्या, “जिब तेरे बैरी भी आवैगें, तो मै तेरा मुकद्दमा करुँगा।” अर उसनै उस ताहीं हेरोदेस कै किले म्ह पहरे म्ह राक्खण का हुकम दिया।
