Acts 4
1 And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
yasmin samaye pitarayohanau lokān upadiśatastasmin samaye yājakā mandirasya senāpatayaḥ sidūkīgaṇaśca
2 being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
tayor upadeśakaraṇe khrīṣṭasyotthānam upalakṣya sarvveṣāṁ mṛtānām utthānaprastāve ca vyagrāḥ santastāvupāgaman|
3 And they laid hands upon them, and put them in prison until the next day; for it was now evening.
tau dhṛtvā dināvasānakāraṇāt paradinaparyyanantaṁ ruddhvā sthāpitavantaḥ|
4 Many however of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became five thousand.
tathāpi ye lokāstayorupadeśam aśṛṇvan teṣāṁ prāyeṇa pañcasahasrāṇi janā vyaśvasan|
5 And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes,
pare'hani adhipatayaḥ prācīnā adhyāpakāśca hānananāmā mahāyājakaḥ
6 and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high-priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
kiyaphā yohan sikandara ityādayo mahāyājakasya jñātayaḥ sarvve yirūśālamnagare militāḥ|
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, did ye do this?
anantaraṁ preritau madhye sthāpayitvāpṛcchan yuvāṁ kayā śaktayā vā kena nāmnā karmmāṇyetāni kuruthaḥ?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel!
tadā pitaraḥ pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san pratyavādīt, he lokānām adhipatigaṇa he isrāyelīyaprācīnāḥ,
9 If we are this day examined in respect to a good deed done to a cripple, by what means he hath been restored,
etasya durbbalamānuṣasya hitaṁ yat karmmākriyata, arthāt, sa yena prakāreṇa svasthobhavat tacced adyāvāṁ pṛcchatha,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, —by him doth this man stand here before you sound.
tarhi sarvva isrāyelīyalokā yūyaṁ jānīta nāsaratīyo yo yīśukhrīṣṭaḥ kruśe yuṣmābhiravidhyata yaśceśvareṇa śmaśānād utthāpitaḥ, tasya nāmnā janoyaṁ svasthaḥ san yuṣmākaṁ sammukhe prottiṣṭhati|
11 This is the stone which was set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone.
nicetṛbhi ryuṣmābhirayaṁ yaḥ prastaro'vajñāto'bhavat sa pradhānakoṇasya prastaro'bhavat|
12 And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been given among men, by which we must be saved.
tadbhinnādaparāt kasmādapi paritrāṇaṁ bhavituṁ na śaknoti, yena trāṇaṁ prāpyeta bhūmaṇḍalasyalokānāṁ madhye tādṛśaṁ kimapi nāma nāsti|
13 And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
tadā pitarayohanoretādṛśīm akṣebhatāṁ dṛṣṭvā tāvavidvāṁsau nīcalokāviti buddhvā āścaryyam amanyanta tau ca yīśoḥ saṅginau jātāviti jñātum aśaknuvan|
14 And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.
kintu tābhyāṁ sārddhaṁ taṁ svasthamānuṣaṁ tiṣṭhantaṁ dṛṣṭvā te kāmapyaparām āpattiṁ karttaṁ nāśaknun|
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
tadā te sabhātaḥ sthānāntaraṁ gantuṁ tān ājñāpya svayaṁ parasparam iti mantraṇāmakurvvan
16 saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
tau mānavau prati kiṁ karttavyaṁ? tāvekaṁ prasiddham āścaryyaṁ karmma kṛtavantau tad yirūśālamnivāsināṁ sarvveṣāṁ lokānāṁ samīpe prākāśata tacca vayamapahnotuṁ na śaknumaḥ|
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly forbid them with threats to speak any longer in this name to any one.
kintu lokānāṁ madhyam etad yathā na vyāpnoti tadarthaṁ tau bhayaṁ pradarśya tena nāmnā kamapi manuṣyaṁ nopadiśatam iti dṛḍhaṁ niṣedhāmaḥ|
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus.
tataste preritāvāhūya etadājñāpayan itaḥ paraṁ yīśo rnāmnā kadāpi kāmapi kathāṁ mā kathayataṁ kimapi nopadiśañca|
19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.
tataḥ pitarayohanau pratyavadatām īśvarasyājñāgrahaṇaṁ vā yuṣmākam ājñāgrahaṇam etayo rmadhye īśvarasya gocare kiṁ vihitaṁ? yūyaṁ tasya vivecanāṁ kuruta|
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
vayaṁ yad apaśyāma yadaśṛṇuma ca tanna pracārayiṣyāma etat kadāpi bhavituṁ na śaknoti|
21 So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.
yadaghaṭata tad dṛṣṭā sarvve lokā īśvarasya guṇān anvavadan tasmāt lokabhayāt tau daṇḍayituṁ kamapyupāyaṁ na prāpya te punarapi tarjayitvā tāvatyajan|
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.
yasya mānuṣasyaitat svāsthyakaraṇam āścaryyaṁ karmmākriyata tasya vayaścatvāriṁśadvatsarā vyatītāḥ|
23 And being released they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
tataḥ paraṁ tau visṛṣṭau santau svasaṅgināṁ sannidhiṁ gatvā pradhānayājakaiḥ prācīnalokaiśca proktāḥ sarvvāḥ kathā jñāpitavantau|
24 And on hearing it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art he that made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are in them;
tacchrutvā sarvva ekacittībhūya īśvaramuddiśya proccairetat prārthayanta, he prabho gagaṇapṛthivīpayodhīnāṁ teṣu ca yadyad āste teṣāṁ sraṣṭeśvarastvaṁ|
25 who by the mouth of thy servant David said, “Why did the heathen rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?
tvaṁ nijasevakena dāyūdā vākyamidam uvacitha, manuṣyā anyadeśīyāḥ kurvvanti kalahaṁ kutaḥ| lokāḥ sarvve kimarthaṁ vā cintāṁ kurvvanti niṣphalāṁ|
26 The kings of the earth came up, and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed.”
parameśasya tenaivābhiṣiktasya janasya ca| viruddhamabhitiṣṭhanti pṛthivyāḥ patayaḥ kutaḥ||
27 For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, did both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, assemble in this city,
phalatastava hastena mantraṇayā ca pūrvva yadyat sthirīkṛtaṁ tad yathā siddhaṁ bhavati tadarthaṁ tvaṁ yam athiṣiktavān sa eva pavitro yīśustasya prātikūlyena herod pantīyapīlāto
28 to do whatever thy hand and thy will before determined to be done.
'nyadeśīyalokā isrāyellokāśca sarvva ete sabhāyām atiṣṭhan|
29 And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
he parameśvara adhunā teṣāṁ tarjanaṁ garjanañca śṛṇu;
30 while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are wrought through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.
tathā svāsthyakaraṇakarmmaṇā tava bāhubalaprakāśapūrvvakaṁ tava sevakān nirbhayena tava vākyaṁ pracārayituṁ tava pavitraputrasya yīśo rnāmnā āścaryyāṇyasambhavāni ca karmmāṇi karttuñcājñāpaya|
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
itthaṁ prārthanayā yatra sthāne te sabhāyām āsan tat sthānaṁ prākampata; tataḥ sarvve pavitreṇātmanā paripūrṇāḥ santa īśvarasya kathām akṣobheṇa prācārayan|
32 And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart, and of one soul; and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
aparañca pratyayakārilokasamūhā ekamanasa ekacittībhūya sthitāḥ| teṣāṁ kepi nijasampattiṁ svīyāṁ nājānan kintu teṣāṁ sarvvāḥ sampattyaḥ sādhāraṇyena sthitāḥ|
33 And with great power did the apostles give their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.
anyacca preritā mahāśaktiprakāśapūrvvakaṁ prabho ryīśorutthāne sākṣyam adaduḥ, teṣu sarvveṣu mahānugraho'bhavacca|
34 For there was no one among them that was in want; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
teṣāṁ madhye kasyāpi dravyanyūnatā nābhavad yatasteṣāṁ gṛhabhūmyādyā yāḥ sampattaya āsan tā vikrīya
35 and laid them at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
tanmūlyamānīya preritānāṁ caraṇeṣu taiḥ sthāpitaṁ; tataḥ pratyekaśaḥ prayojanānusāreṇa dattamabhavat|
36 And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, when interpreted, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, born in Cyprus,
viśeṣataḥ kupropadvīpīyo yosināmako levivaṁśajāta eko jano bhūmyadhikārī, yaṁ preritā barṇabbā arthāt sāntvanādāyaka ityuktvā samāhūyan,
37 having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
sa jano nijabhūmiṁ vikrīya tanmūlyamānīya preritānāṁ caraṇeṣu sthāpitavān|
