< 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 samayē pitarayōhanau lōkān upadiśatastasmin samayē yājakā mandirasya sēnāpatayaḥ sidūkīgaṇaśca
2 being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
tayōr upadēśakaraṇē khrīṣṭasyōtthānam upalakṣya sarvvēṣāṁ mr̥tānām utthānaprastāvē 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 dhr̥tvā dināvasānakāraṇāt paradinaparyyanantaṁ ruddhvā sthāpitavantaḥ|
4 Many however of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became five thousand.
tathāpi yē lōkāstayōrupadēśam aśr̥ṇvan tēṣāṁ prāyēṇa pañcasahasrāṇi janā vyaśvasan|
5 And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes,
parē'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 yōhan sikandara ityādayō mahāyājakasya jñātayaḥ sarvvē yirūśālamnagarē 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 prēritau madhyē sthāpayitvāpr̥cchan yuvāṁ kayā śaktayā vā kēna nāmnā karmmāṇyētāni kuruthaḥ?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel!
tadā pitaraḥ pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇaḥ san pratyavādīt, hē lōkānām adhipatigaṇa hē isrāyēlīyaprācīnāḥ,
9 If we are this day examined in respect to a good deed done to a cripple, by what means he hath been restored,
ētasya durbbalamānuṣasya hitaṁ yat karmmākriyata, arthāt, sa yēna prakārēṇa svasthōbhavat taccēd adyāvāṁ pr̥cchatha,
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 isrāyēlīyalōkā yūyaṁ jānīta nāsaratīyō yō yīśukhrīṣṭaḥ kruśē yuṣmābhiravidhyata yaścēśvarēṇa śmaśānād utthāpitaḥ, tasya nāmnā janōyaṁ svasthaḥ san yuṣmākaṁ sammukhē prōttiṣṭhati|
11 This is the stone which was set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone.
nicētr̥bhi ryuṣmābhirayaṁ yaḥ prastarō'vajñātō'bhavat sa pradhānakōṇasya prastarō'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 śaknōti, yēna trāṇaṁ prāpyēta bhūmaṇḍalasyalōkānāṁ madhyē tādr̥śaṁ 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 pitarayōhanōrētādr̥śīm akṣēbhatāṁ dr̥ṣṭvā tāvavidvāṁsau nīcalōkāviti buddhvā āścaryyam amanyanta tau ca yīśōḥ 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 dr̥ṣṭvā tē kāmapyaparām āpattiṁ karttaṁ nāśaknun|
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
tadā tē 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? tāvēkaṁ prasiddham āścaryyaṁ karmma kr̥tavantau tad yirūśālamnivāsināṁ sarvvēṣāṁ lōkānāṁ samīpē prākāśata tacca vayamapahnōtuṁ 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 lōkānāṁ madhyam ētad yathā na vyāpnōti tadarthaṁ tau bhayaṁ pradarśya tēna nāmnā kamapi manuṣyaṁ nōpadiśatam iti dr̥ḍhaṁ niṣēdhāmaḥ|
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus.
tatastē prēritāvāhūya ētadājñāpayan itaḥ paraṁ yīśō rnāmnā kadāpi kāmapi kathāṁ mā kathayataṁ kimapi nōpadiśañca|
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 pitarayōhanau pratyavadatām īśvarasyājñāgrahaṇaṁ vā yuṣmākam ājñāgrahaṇam ētayō rmadhyē īśvarasya gōcarē kiṁ vihitaṁ? yūyaṁ tasya vivēcanāṁ kuruta|
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
vayaṁ yad apaśyāma yadaśr̥ṇuma ca tanna pracārayiṣyāma ētat kadāpi bhavituṁ na śaknōti|
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 dr̥ṣṭā sarvvē lōkā īśvarasya guṇān anvavadan tasmāt lōkabhayāt tau daṇḍayituṁ kamapyupāyaṁ na prāpya tē 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 visr̥ṣṭau santau svasaṅgināṁ sannidhiṁ gatvā pradhānayājakaiḥ prācīnalōkaiśca prōktāḥ 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 ēkacittībhūya īśvaramuddiśya prōccairētat prārthayanta, hē prabhō gagaṇapr̥thivīpayōdhīnāṁ tēṣu ca yadyad āstē tēṣāṁ sraṣṭēśvarastvaṁ|
25 who by the mouth of thy servant David said, “Why did the heathen rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?
tvaṁ nijasēvakēna dāyūdā vākyamidam uvacitha, manuṣyā anyadēśīyāḥ kurvvanti kalahaṁ kutaḥ| lōkāḥ sarvvē 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.”
paramēśasya tēnaivābhiṣiktasya janasya ca| viruddhamabhitiṣṭhanti pr̥thivyāḥ 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 hastēna mantraṇayā ca pūrvva yadyat sthirīkr̥taṁ tad yathā siddhaṁ bhavati tadarthaṁ tvaṁ yam athiṣiktavān sa ēva pavitrō yīśustasya prātikūlyēna hērōd pantīyapīlātō
28 to do whatever thy hand and thy will before determined to be done.
'nyadēśīyalōkā isrāyēllōkāśca sarvva ētē sabhāyām atiṣṭhan|
29 And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
hē paramēśvara adhunā tēṣāṁ tarjanaṁ garjanañca śr̥ṇu;
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 sēvakān nirbhayēna tava vākyaṁ pracārayituṁ tava pavitraputrasya yīśō 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 sthānē tē sabhāyām āsan tat sthānaṁ prākampata; tataḥ sarvvē pavitrēṇātmanā paripūrṇāḥ santa īśvarasya kathām akṣōbhēṇa 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 pratyayakārilōkasamūhā ēkamanasa ēkacittībhūya sthitāḥ| tēṣāṁ kēpi nijasampattiṁ svīyāṁ nājānan kintu tēṣāṁ sarvvāḥ sampattyaḥ sādhāraṇyēna 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 prēritā mahāśaktiprakāśapūrvvakaṁ prabhō ryīśōrutthānē sākṣyam adaduḥ, tēṣu sarvvēṣu mahānugrahō'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,
tēṣāṁ madhyē kasyāpi dravyanyūnatā nābhavad yatastēṣāṁ gr̥habhūmyādyā 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 prēritānāṁ caraṇēṣu taiḥ sthāpitaṁ; tataḥ pratyēkaśaḥ prayōjanānusārēṇa dattamabhavat|
36 And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, when interpreted, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, born in Cyprus,
viśēṣataḥ kuprōpadvīpīyō yōsināmakō lēvivaṁśajāta ēkō janō bhūmyadhikārī, yaṁ prēritā barṇabbā arthāt sāntvanādāyaka ityuktvā samāhūyan,
37 having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
sa janō nijabhūmiṁ vikrīya tanmūlyamānīya prēritānāṁ caraṇēṣu sthāpitavān|
