Acts 19
1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus. And finding certain disciples,
karinthanagara āpallasaḥ sthitikālē paula uttarapradēśairāgacchan iphiṣanagaram upasthitavān| tatra katipayaśiṣyān sākṣat prāpya tān apr̥cchat,
2 he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, No, we did not even hear whether there is a Holy Spirit.
yūyaṁ viśvasya pavitramātmānaṁ prāptā na vā? tatastē pratyavadan pavitra ātmā dīyatē ityasmābhiḥ śrutamapi nahi|
3 And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
tadā sā'vadat tarhi yūyaṁ kēna majjitā abhavata? tē'kathayan yōhanō majjanēna|
4 Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him that was coming after him; that is, on Jesus.
tadā paula uktavān itaḥ paraṁ ya upasthāsyati tasmin arthata yīśukhrīṣṭē viśvasitavyamityuktvā yōhan manaḥparivarttanasūcakēna majjanēna jalē lōkān amajjayat|
5 And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
tādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā tē prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā majjitā abhavan|
6 And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.
tataḥ paulēna tēṣāṁ gātrēṣu karē'rpitē tēṣāmupari pavitra ātmāvarūḍhavān, tasmāt tē nānādēśīyā bhāṣā bhaviṣyatkathāśca kathitavantaḥ|
7 And the men were about twelve in all.
tē prāyēṇa dvādaśajanā āsan|
8 And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
paulō bhajanabhavanaṁ gatvā prāyēṇa māsatrayam īśvarasya rājyasya vicāraṁ kr̥tvā lōkān pravartya sāhasēna kathāmakathayat|
9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of the way [[of the Lord]] before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of Tyrannus.
kintu kaṭhināntaḥkaraṇatvāt kiyantō janā na viśvasya sarvvēṣāṁ samakṣam ētatpathasya nindāṁ karttuṁ pravr̥ttāḥ, ataḥ paulastēṣāṁ samīpāt prasthāya śiṣyagaṇaṁ pr̥thakkr̥tvā pratyahaṁ turānnanāmnaḥ kasyacit janasya pāṭhaśālāyāṁ vicāraṁ kr̥tavān|
10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
itthaṁ vatsaradvayaṁ gataṁ tasmād āśiyādēśanivāsinaḥ sarvvē yihūdīyā anyadēśīyalōkāśca prabhō ryīśōḥ kathām aśrauṣan|
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
paulēna ca īśvara ētādr̥śānyadbhutāni karmmāṇi kr̥tavān
12 so that even handkerchiefs, or aprons, were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
yat paridhēyē gātramārjanavastrē vā tasya dēhāt pīḍitalōkānām samīpam ānītē tē nirāmayā jātā apavitrā bhūtāśca tēbhyō bahirgatavantaḥ|
13 Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to name over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
tadā dēśāṭanakāriṇaḥ kiyantō yihūdīyā bhūtāpasāriṇō bhūtagrastanōkānāṁ sannidhau prabhē ryīśō rnāma japtvā vākyamidam avadan, yasya kathāṁ paulaḥ pracārayati tasya yīśō rnāmnā yuṣmān ājñāpayāmaḥ|
14 And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
skivanāmnō yihūdīyānāṁ pradhānayājakasya saptabhiḥ puttaistathā kr̥tē sati
15 And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
kaścid apavitrō bhūtaḥ pratyuditavān, yīśuṁ jānāmi paulañca paricinōmi kintu kē yūyaṁ?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them both, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
ityuktvā sōpavitrabhūtagrastō manuṣyō lamphaṁ kr̥tvā tēṣāmupari patitvā balēna tān jitavān, tasmāttē nagnāḥ kṣatāṅgāśca santastasmād gēhāt palāyanta|
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
sā vāg iphiṣanagaranivāsinasaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ yihūdīyānāṁ bhinnadēśīyānāṁ lōkānāñca śravōgōcarībhūtā; tataḥ sarvvē bhayaṁ gatāḥ prabhō ryīśō rnāmnō yaśō 'varddhata|
18 And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
yēṣāmanēkēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ pratītirajāyata ta āgatya svaiḥ kr̥tāḥ kriyāḥ prakāśarūpēṇāṅgīkr̥tavantaḥ|
19 Many also of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
bahavō māyākarmmakāriṇaḥ svasvagranthān ānīya rāśīkr̥tya sarvvēṣāṁ samakṣam adāhayan, tatō gaṇanāṁ kr̥tvābudhyanta pañcāyutarūpyamudrāmūlyapustakāni dagdhāni|
20 So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
itthaṁ prabhōḥ kathā sarvvadēśaṁ vyāpya prabalā jātā|
21 And when these things were ended, Paul resolved to pass through Macedonia and Achaia, and to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
sarvvēṣvētēṣu karmmasu sampannēṣu satsu paulō mākidaniyākhāyādēśābhyāṁ yirūśālamaṁ gantuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā kathitavān tatsthānaṁ yātrāyāṁ kr̥tāyāṁ satyāṁ mayā rōmānagaraṁ draṣṭavyaṁ|
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
svānugatalōkānāṁ tīmathiyērāstau dvau janau mākidaniyādēśaṁ prati prahitya svayam āśiyādēśē katipayadināni sthitavān|
23 And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
kintu tasmin samayē matē'smin kalahō jātaḥ|
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
tatkāraṇamidaṁ, arttimīdēvyā rūpyamandiranirmmāṇēna sarvvēṣāṁ śilpināṁ yathēṣṭalābham ajanayat yō dīmītriyanāmā nāḍīndhamaḥ
25 And having called them together, with the workmen of like occupation, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth;
sa tān tatkarmmajīvinaḥ sarvvalōkāṁśca samāhūya bhāṣitavān hē mahēcchā ētēna mandiranirmmāṇēnāsmākaṁ jīvikā bhavati, ētad yūyaṁ vittha;
26 and ye see and hear, that this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, not only of Ephesus, but of almost all Asia, saying, that those are not gods, which are made with hands.
kintu hastanirmmitēśvarā īśvarā nahi paulanāmnā kēnacijjanēna kathāmimāṁ vyāhr̥tya kēvalēphiṣanagarē nahi prāyēṇa sarvvasmin āśiyādēśē pravr̥ttiṁ grāhayitvā bahulōkānāṁ śēmuṣī parāvarttitā, ētad yuṣmābhi rdr̥śyatē śrūyatē ca|
27 And there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
tēnāsmākaṁ vāṇijyasya sarvvathā hānēḥ sambhavanaṁ kēvalamiti nahi, āśiyādēśasthai rvā sarvvajagatsthai rlōkaiḥ pūjyā yārtimī mahādēvī tasyā mandirasyāvajñānasya tasyā aiśvaryyasya nāśasya ca sambhāvanā vidyatē|
28 And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
ētādr̥śīṁ kathāṁ śrutvā tē mahākrōdhānvitāḥ santa uccaiḥkāraṁ kathitavanta iphiṣīyānām arttimī dēvī mahatī bhavati|
29 And the city was filled with confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel.
tataḥ sarvvanagaraṁ kalahēna paripūrṇamabhavat, tataḥ paraṁ tē mākidanīyagāyāristārkhanāmānau paulasya dvau sahacarau dhr̥tvaikacittā raṅgabhūmiṁ javēna dhāvitavantaḥ|
30 And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him.
tataḥ paulō lōkānāṁ sannidhiṁ yātum udyatavān kintu śiṣyagaṇastaṁ vāritavān|
31 And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre.
paulasyatmīyā āśiyādēśasthāḥ katipayāḥ pradhānalōkāstasya samīpaṁ naramēkaṁ prēṣya tvaṁ raṅgabhūmiṁ māgā iti nyavēdayan|
32 Some therefore were crying one thing, and some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and the greater part knew not wherefore they had come together.
tatō nānālōkānāṁ nānākathākathanāt sabhā vyākulā jātā kiṁ kāraṇād ētāvatī janatābhavat ētad adhikai rlōkai rnājñāyi|
33 And they brought forward Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward; and Alexander beckoned with his hand, desiring to make his defence to the people.
tataḥ paraṁ janatāmadhyād yihūdīyairbahiṣkr̥taḥ sikandarō hastēna saṅkētaṁ kr̥tvā lōkēbhya uttaraṁ dātumudyatavān,
34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice for about two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
kintu sa yihūdīyalōka iti niścitē sati iphiṣīyānām arttimī dēvī mahatīti vākyaṁ prāyēṇa pañca daṇḍān yāvad ēkasvarēṇa lōkanivahaiḥ prōktaṁ|
35 But when the Recorder had quieted the multitude, he said, Men of Ephesus, who is there among men that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the great Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
tatō nagarādhipatistān sthirān kr̥tvā kathitavān hē iphiṣāyāḥ sarvvē lōkā ākarṇayata, artimīmahādēvyā mahādēvāt patitāyāstatpratimāyāśca pūjanama iphiṣanagarasthāḥ sarvvē lōkāḥ kurvvanti, ētat kē na jānanti?
36 Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly.
tasmād ētatpratikūlaṁ kēpi kathayituṁ na śaknuvanti, iti jñātvā yuṣmābhiḥ susthiratvēna sthātavyam avivicya kimapi karmma na karttavyañca|
37 For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess.
yān ētān manuṣyān yūyamatra samānayata tē mandiradravyāpahārakā yuṣmākaṁ dēvyā nindakāśca na bhavanti|
38 If then Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against any one, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring their charges against each other.
yadi kañcana prati dīmītriyasya tasya sahāyānāñca kācid āpatti rvidyatē tarhi pratinidhilōkā vicārasthānañca santi, tē tat sthānaṁ gatvā uttarapratyuttarē kurvvantu|
39 But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.
kintu yuṣmākaṁ kācidaparā kathā yadi tiṣṭhati tarhi niyamitāyāṁ sabhāyāṁ tasyā niṣpatti rbhaviṣyati|
40 For we are in danger of being called to answer concerning this day's riot, there being no ground on which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse.
kintvētasya virōdhasyōttaraṁ yēna dātuṁ śaknum ētādr̥śasya kasyacit kāraṇasyābhāvād adyatanaghaṭanāhētō rājadrōhiṇāmivāsmākam abhiyōgō bhaviṣyatīti śaṅkā vidyatē|
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
iti kathayitvā sa sabhāsthalōkān visr̥ṣṭavān|
